SEVENTH YEAR.
CHANDLER, OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER H, 1897. •
NUMBER
Write To Your Friends in the "States" About Lincoln County's Big Crops
Silver and wheat keep togeth-.
er. Yes. They are each worth
about a dollar a bushel.
The Mejicano caballeros are
vainly waiting for the Honorable
William Jennings to come and
telfthem how they ought to do it.
Wanted! Three silver envoys
who went to Japan to see what
.Japan meant by stabbing silver
in the neck. Report two weeks
overdue.
The quarantine against Mr.
Bryan is still rigorously main-
tained in Ohio, Maryland, New
York and all other states where
t he democrats think they have
any show of success.
Free silver was the chief plank
<>:' the Ohio platform, but it must
have either boon dropped out oi
the platform or else been dress
c ; .town from a regular inch
plank to quarter-inch stuff.
Tammany's tigor has given
Mr. Bryan the rough paw. He
besought the New Yorkers to
make silver the issue in their
campaign, and they deliberately
t urned his proposition down.
The shaky planks and loose
bolts of the Ohio democratic
platform rattle threateningly in
t terrified ears of the Ichabod
< nines of that state who are
vainly trying to get away from
Ohio election, because it might
interfere with the party in at-
tempting to capture colored
votes in tnat state at the ap-
proaching election.
Editor McLean is having vari-
ous styles of announcement pre-
pared for future use in stating
his withdrawals from the Ohio
senatorial campaign. Complaint
has been made that the last tive
announcements have all been
worded practically the same.
It is about the time of year for
"Professor Wilson to make an-
other "explanation" on the in-
teresting question of tarilf bills.
He probably has not yet had
time to examine the workings of
the Dingley bill, nor to compare
it with his own effort in that
line.
The sound money democrats
see now that they were wise in
standing firmly against the sil
ver craze. It is being abandon-
ed by even the men who led last
yi '"s fight, and the bulk of the
democracy is making ready to
fall in line with the former lead-
ers of the party.
The calamity howlers should
take off their smoked glasses and
look around. They will find
that the factory smyke in the sky
will protect their orbs from the
too dazzling beams of Mclvinley
I >ros j >erity.
Mr. Towne, who insists that
Lie has not been ordered <>tf the
stump in Ohio by Chairman
Olivers, still carefully avoids
returning to that state, despite
the fact that the last month of
the campaign is now on.
The receipts under the new
tariff are steadily mounting up-
war 1. For the second half of
August, the firsj half of Septem-
ber, and the second half of Sep-
tember they were, respectively,
in round numbers, *9,000,000,
*10,000,000, *11,000,000.
As was to have been expected
the canard about Senator Forak-
er's abandonment of the li^'ht in
Ohio was one of the "regulation"
democratic bulletins. Senator
Foraker smiled at the report,
and said the republicans would
win handsomely; also, that J. B.
Foraker would be in at the death
too.
Who can say that the demo-
crats of the South are not loyal
to their party? They have even
suspended the shooting of color-
ed office-holders until after the
" It is very kind of ex-Congress-
man Towne to keep out of Ohio
during this closing month of the
campaign, and thus relieve
Chairman O'Myers of the neces-
sity of resorting to "government
by injunction" to rid the demo-
cracy of his utterences in sup-
port of the free silver platform,
which they are now keeping
ear; iidly m the background.

Perliaps Mr. Bryan who is
longing to get into'the campaigns
of the east, might arrange with
John L. Sullivan for a few speech-
es in his behalf for mayor oi ,
Boston. If Mr. Bryan is to lead
a tight on "government by in-
junction" platform in the next
campaign, he will want the co-op
eration of just such men as Mr.
Sullivan and his associates.

Have the gold bugs captured
Colorado? That state, it is now
announced, will add *20,000,000
to the gold of the country this
year from her own mines, and it Chandler,
is probable that the total gold '
production of the world in IH07
will aggregate *250,000,000, a
sum vastly greater than is need-
ed to keep pace with the growth
of population and business of the
worlcl.

The attention of Chairman
O'Myers of the Ohio demflcracy
is respect fully called to the fact
that Mr. Bryan is about to do
liver a series of speeches on the
silver question in Kentucky, and
that he will probably select plac-
es where the south wind will
carry his voice across the river
into Ohio. Here's an opportuni-
I ty for more "government by in-
junction," Mr. O'AJyers.
