The Enid Eatrle of October ~4,
said of Mr. Whiting: "He has held
the appointment of chief clerk of tlic
Kingfisher land < ffice, and so well
did he do his work there that when
a change of administration took
place in 18tKJ, he was still retained
by the democratic official of that of-
fice on account of Ins competency
alone."
A further statement in the same
article: "Mr. Whiting is a man wlio
has lived in Enid ever oince the
Strip opened.0 I'he facts are that
that Mr. Whiting never held a clerk-
ship tn the Kingfisher land office for
a single hour under a democrat.
.Jake Roberts was the republican
register and Admire the receiver and
held their office until the lOtli of
Sept 189-3. Mr. Spillman, the demo- j j
niocratic register, did not take the
office until Huberts and Whiting

A. W. Griffin, candidate on the
Democratic ti'-ket for county attor-
ney of Woods county was in the
city this week. Mr. Griffin says that
Callahan will surely get a good ma-
jority in his county.
Now comes the republican party
in defense of a repudiated democrat,
and they tell you that Glover Cleve-
land was right and that Mr. McKin-
ley will continue his policy for f<-ur
years more. That is what the repub-
lican platform says.—W. J. Bryan.

Hear the republicans cursing the
silver ticket because our candidate* I were in Enid reviewing the settler*
( church members and one j.reach- 1'iies in front of the land office. Tell
the truth or husli. I'lie Eagle also
says: "Mr Whiting, bv reason of
his legal ability, is peculiarly adopt
ed to this work."
We ask what lenal ability has he
ever displayed, except to get the
money out of poor setters yvlio
were delayed in their business at
t liis land office during the lirsl. year
after tlie opening.
If you call him a lawyer yve will
confess that he does not know
enough law to hurt.

lawyer claiming to know the wants

He may know more about the ways
and byways of this town by gas-
light, but we-would 'at her have the

tn Enid that day.
Harry Thompson, the boss pnliti-
r.ill fixer o. the llvick Island, lias quit
rwniing to this town and holding
close communion on the street, with
the republican candidate for council.
And now when lie has any confiden-
tial suggestionsto make to Mr. Mur-
phy he gels out of sight.
If the silver ticket is elected and
draw salaries as much as the law
allows them, they will apply their
earnings in a legitimate business,
such as improving their farms, edu-
cating their children and establish-
ing churches, school houses and
homes. Their salaries will not roll to
the center of the round table, neither
will thev rest upon the green cloth
or stand between the deproved and
good society.
Away back as early as Webster's
old blue back we learned of the im-
portance of good men in office. I lien
there ts another standard authority
in speaking ot the qualifications of
officers says:—-'Not a novice lifted
up with pride and get his papers
quashed. Moreover they must have a
>ood report of them which are with
out; lest they f ill into crap shooting
high card for beer and stud poker,
neither shall they tarry long at the
red wine, and shall be able to give
Bud' and An' the icy stare.
It has been the policy of the op-
position papers of Garfield county to
make and publish willful misrepre-
sentations airainst the candinates on
the republican ticket, and it is to lie
presumed that they have not finished
ibis method of campaigning yet.—
Enid Eagle.
The above, so far as yve are con-
cerned, is a bold faced lie, and the
people of this county know it. No-
tice that since we took charge of
this paper there has not been so
much "scandal-uiongeriiig." Your
article, "Lookout for falsehoods," is
only a repetition of the "guilty flee-
eth when no one pursueth." You
yvant the people to close I heir ears
to one yvlio stales the fact of your
ticket, your gang, costing the tax-
payers of this county thousands of
dollars because of (in the language of
llie grand jury) their grave irregular
ities iu office. You are the paid tool
of the gang; you print the tickets;
Is it a fact mat Callahan is to lose
■miii\ democratic voles because he i>
a preacher and a professed christian.''
Is this the reason that Callahan ii-
not' acceptable to the German
league? It is true and we admit
ilmt Flynn is a Cadiolic, but shall
this feature of sectarianism Lie diag-
into this campaign? If so, we then
ask are all the Germans Catholics.
Is this the style of Mr. Flynn'* cam
paign. If so let us remind you ol
llie fact, that the Germans are men of
sense enough to know that church
denominations should not lie con
sidered in voting in this county; be
sides w-e know of many good tier
iiiHn and Irish families in this county
who are Methodists, .* some Baptists
some aie members ol other denouii-
iiati ins; ilo you suppose the League
will control tin ir votes because Cal
la linn is a Methodist minister? Are
not your local managers making a
mistake in this matter? Are they uol
liable to array the several deimmina
lions against the Catholic activity in
your behalf?
Of course Mr. Flynn every one
knows you are a church member, ..
Catholic, we do not dispute it; and
for that reason you should not lie
guilly of having your friends, while
passing their idle moments at mid
nighl around the pleasure resorts of
the towns, abuse Callahan because
he is a preacher.

A good substantial citizen of ties
city, a business man, member of the
Catholic church, a republican and
member of the German League says
llie reason the League determined to
support Flynn yvas because, using
liis language, "our church is opposed
to prohibition." We think that his
reason is thin, very thin. Is your
political league a catholic church
relief society? You know, Mr. Cit

The Kingfisher Free I'lcas:
The Hennessey Kicker printed a
very sensational statement last week,
corroborated by documentary evi-
dence ami personal affidavits, re-
flecting upon the moral character
and integrity of Rev. J. \. Calla

We made an effort to make further
investigation as to the truth or falsi
ly of the slatements which ivas so
unsatisfactory, and cast so much
unreasonable doubt upon the story,
that we have chosen to give it no
further publicity, at least, until Mr.
Callahan, who is out of reach, ha.,

the affair tn the public. We hope
