It ia reported from Muskogee that
the interior department will not per-
mit the laying out and survey of town-
sites in the Caerokee nation until the
Cherokees have treated with the Diwes
commission and the treaty has bien
ratified by congress and that instruc
tions to this effect have been sent to
J. G. Wright United States Indian in-
spector for the territory. The depart-
ment seemingly has overlooked the
fact that the Cherokees have made two
treaties with the Dawes commission
and are not to blame for the failure of
congress to ratify them. The Cherokee
non-citizens in the towns are to be
made to suffer for the shortcomings of
congress according to this report.

nJKAUKIt.
The Democrats and Populists com-
prising the reform forces of Oklaho-
ma have spoken. In joint convention
they have named as their congression-
al bearer the lion Robert A. Neff of
Kay county.
The convention was unquestionably
the most harmonious ever held in the
territory and the result giyc6 unalloy-
ed satisfaction to the allied parties of
reform.
While it is truo a modicum of bitter-
ness tv as naturally engendered in the
selection of a candidate it was clear
from the first ballot that Neff was the
favorite end with the adjourn-
ment of the convention all ill feelng
vanished and both Democrats and
Populists enrolled' themselves under
the banner of reform to labor and
vote for the overthrow of Flynnlsm.
The fight for supremacy on the part
of the various counties was an inter-
esting one and the showing made by
Wm. Cross and L. P. Ross was cer-
tainly gratifying to their supporters.
In advocating the coalition of the re-
form forces of Oklahoma for congress
Tiik Leader believed the best
ends could be subserved in the
event of the election of the
nominee by placing him on a Demo-
cratic ticket instead of a "Free Silver"
or "Imperialistic" ticket which meant
nothing bo far as party identity was
concerned. The joint convention hap-
pily elimlnat d all differences by unan
imously naming a candidate in joint
conclave and ratifying the selection
in separate party convention' The
conference committee acted with wis-
dom asd judgment and the joint
convention did the bait thing possible
in unanimously adopting the confer-
ence report and thus solidfying the
forces of reform without 'entailing
bitterness of party strife.
In accepting the nomination of the
joint parties Mr. Neff stated
his position plainly concisely and
succinctly. Said he:
"I am going into
this campaign and
take up the standard
and the issue and
stand upon the plat-
form formulated at
Kansas City with W.
J. Bryin and Adlal
Stevenson."
This unequivocal attitude of Mr.
Neff cannot fall to give satisfaction to
and receive the sanction of every vot-
er in Oklahoma who believes in the
caus and principles espoused by the
peerless leader Wm. J. Iiryan.
The Leader believes Mr. Neff is a
strong candidate; we believe he truly
represents the cause cf the people as
opposed tj the imperialistic and trust
ridden policies of the liannaized Mc-
Kinley administration represented in
this territory by Dennis T. Fiynn.
That he will make a rousing cam-
paign we have not the slightest doubt.
Success comes only through persis-
tent hustling and that Hob Neff will
hustl j not even the warmest follower
of Flynn will deny. In personal qua-
lities Mr. Neff differs vastly from Mr.
Callahan. lie possesses the power to
attract and hold Moreover he has
had experience in the world; he under-
stands men and distances Flynn in
the matter of ho ding the passing ac-
quaintance. And above all this he is
square.
As an orator he has few equalB in
Oklahoma and his utterances tare
never dull insipid or frowsy. He pos-
sesses the happy faculty of expressing
himself concisely and clearly and his
able presentation of the issues during
this campaign cannot fail to win the
attention of his hearers. The Leadkr
believes that J Job Neff is a sincere
man and his political speeches
during the past four or five yea s
attest the fact that he is thoroughly
gtounded in the great principles of
reform.
The past h buried and now that tie
worry and strife of convention Is over
every Democrat and Populist in Okla-
homa should zealously labor for the
success of the reform ticket. With
HjbNeif in the field Dennis Flynn has
no walkover and the Leader ven-
tures the prediction that Flynn wil'
dellvtr more speeches and work more
earnestly for reelect'on this fall than
he has ever dond before. A maa with
a "walkover" would not do that.
From now unt 1 election day the
Leadkii wi 1 bend it senergie6 towards
bringing about the election of Robeit
Neff.
We trust that all political bickerings
and factional strife will be buried
amongBt Democrats and Populists
We have a common duty to perform
and with dissension in the ranks buc
cesB cannot come. The Logan county
outlook for the success of reform is
brighter and better than at any time
since the county's organization.
With clean (capable men on the
ticket Bob Neff and the Logan
county reform forces will sweep the
Flynn office holders out of office forever.

Denver Evening Post: Oovernor
Mount of Indiana is in a sad dilemma.
It will be remembered that he refused
to honor the requisition of the govern
or of Kentucky for the extradition of
Taylor the former governer of Ken
tucky ousted from office by a decision
of the federal supreme court to which
he had appealed from the decision of
the state supreme court. Taylor was
indicted by the grand jury on testi-
mony principally given by his party
associates for complicity in the plot
to assassinate GovernorvGoebel. From
the testimony adduced in the trial of
Powers the form r state secretary
accused of the same crime it now ap-
pears that Taylor is even more guilty
of the charges brought against him by
the grand jury than Powers who
sought to evade justice by fii;ht from
the state but was less success'ul than
Taylor as1 he was overtaken by the
officers as he was fleeing in disguise-
Taylor is a fugitive from justice in
Indiana whose governor on partisan
grounds refuses his extradition. Since
the testimony in the Powers case has
become public Governor Mount of In-
diana feels less sure about the cor-
rectness of the position taken by him
when he refused the extradition of
Taylor and thereby violated the pro-
vision of the federal constitution. That
consideration however probably does
not count so much with him as the in-
jury his action may do his party in
the coming election. According to
the testimony now before the public
testimony given by party associates
of the fugitive Taylor was not only
the leading spirit in the conspiracy to
assassinate Governor Goebel and a
number of members of the Kentucky
legislature sufficiently large to give
the Republicans control of that bohy
but also urged his co-conspirators on
to commit murder assuring them of
nis executive clemency and pardon in
advanca. And this ie the man Gov-
ernor Mount of Indiana refused to ex-
tradite. Probate Judge Foster ought to
have included the city council in that
restraining order recently issued.
Only in Kay county have the Free
Silver forces completed the ticket from
president down to county coroner leg-
islative inclusive.
The call for a territorial convention
being made at Muskogee is more par-
ticularly for the Creek and Cherokee
nations to make an effort to have con-
gress ratify their treaties next winter.
The Democratic territorial central
committee met at Oklahoma City and
after a lively session lasting all day
selected Mr. Wm. M. Anderson of
Enid chairman and Verde flardcastle
of Oklahoma City secretary

Ari'EAi. to reason: The raise in the
price of sugar by the trusts this year
netted the masters 530000000. This
is nearly S2 a family! If the law had
laid a tax of two dollars a family on
sugar it would have hurled from
power any party that did it and would
have caused tax riotB all over the
country. But the trusts have educat-
ed the people to accept without grumb-
ling any extortion they are pleased to
put on them. iWhat a wise intelligent
free independent people the United
States of Monoply haB produced
In another column appears tha. an-
nouncement of the candidacy of P. J.
Fray for sheriff. Phil Fray as every-
body knows him is a resident of Guth-
rie and has been engaged ts a con
tractor since the ' early days. He is
originally from the farm and was a'
deputy sheriff in Missouri at the age
of 19 years He was deputy sheriff of
Kay county for over a year and acted
in that capacity on the TexaB frontier.
He came to Oklahoma thirty years ago
and has shot buffalo where Guthrie
now stands. Phil Fray is a hard
worker a staunch Democrat and is a
man thoroughly qualified for the im-
portant (position to which he aspires
Nominate and elect him sheriff and he
will prove efficient in every respect.
Ho would be a terror to evil doers and
with his keen observation none would
escape just punishment.
The Leader today takes pleasure in
making announcement of the name of
Prof. W. S. Calvert as a candidate for
the nomination for the office of county
superintendent of public instruction
subject to the .action of the people's
primarles-on August 23. Prof. Calvert
is an educator of the beBt quality.
For the past three years he has been
the able city superintendent of the
Mulhall city schools. His record there
as an educator is the best. In the re-
cent county examination for county
graduation seven of his pupils were
successful out'of eleven that passed
and were issued diplomas. Prof. Cal-
vert holds a firdt-class certificate
which shows him competent to teach
in any and all the schools in Oklahoma.
He has since the beginning of his res-
idence in Oklahoma five years ago
been an enthusiastic worker in the
County Teacher's Normal institutes
and last year was president of the
County Teachers' association. He has
been identified with the reform forces
ever since his coming here and if nom
nated will prove a most satisfactory
condidate to the party that nominates
him and to the many friends who
have bien instrumental in bringing
him out for this office.

Chicago August 2. Tho Record
says under a London date line:
Congressman Charles H Grosvenor
of Ohio the election prophet of tho
Republican party furnished tho Rec-
ord correspondent his first official
forecast for 1900. He gives McKinley
and Roosevelt a "sure total" of 278
electoral votes including tho votes of
tho states of KansaB South Dakota
and Washington carried by Bryon in
1890. He putB in the Jdoubtful column
Kentucky Nebroska Utah and Wy-
oming on at least half of whose votes
ho declares the Republicans have a
mortgage. Of tho total of 132 votes
conceded to Bryan and Stevenuon Mr.
Grosvenor says there is a bare possi-
bility that McKinley may carry South
Carolina and that he has more than a
fighting chance of winning ten votes
of Colorado Idaho and Montana
Here is the way General Grosvenor
calculates it:

Commenting on this General Gros
venor said:
"In ordinary camdaigns this would
be rather an early daV to predict re"
suits but under the circumstances
surrounding the present contest I
think it is entirely safe. Of the states
designated as certainly Republican 1
believe none is unsafe for McKinley.
If I were to select a state about which
there might be a reasonable doubt I
should name Maryland althought the
silver plank in the Kansas City plat
form probably makes Maryland as safe
as Ohio.
"Allowing Mr. Bryan his certain
total of 132 besides the ten votes of
Colorado and Montana and thirteen
more his half of the doubtful states
gives him 155 as the maximum of
his possibilities or twenty-one less
than he got before. It will not be a
surprise to me if McKinley's electoral
vote finally crowds close upon the 300
mark."
