THE CHILDREN'S SHOES
The republican rally Saturday after-
neon and evening was an immense
success. In the afternoon the wigwam
on the corner of Division and Cleve-
land was crowded to hear H. H. How-
ard, of Oklahoma City, deliver one of
the most brilliant speeches heard dur-
ing the campaign. The parade in the
evening was a monsterous turn out.
Fully fifteen hundred people were in
line of march, although the streets
were muddy which kept many from
joining. It was a magnificent spec-
tacle. The parade was led by the
First Regiment band and a division of
it by Slocum's fife and drum corps.
The line of march was from the corner
of Harrison and Division to Kim, north
on Elm to Noble, soutk on Noble to
Oklahoma avenue, west on Oklahoma
to Second, and to the opera house. In
addition to the torches a brigade of
calcium flambeaux and fireworks made
the sky brilliant with illuminations.
Transparencies and banners" floated in
line. Thousands of people filled the
streets ana sidewalks and shouted
themselves hoarse at the magnificent
i spectacle and success of the parade.
On account of the coolness of the
ARE ; evening the Wigwam could not be

but it can coin it out of iron if it wants
to. It does say something about gold
and silver. It says that congress may
coin these two metals into money.
The democrats have always tried to
arouse a prejudice against England in
order to gain votes. Why do they not
do so against Germany, France or
Italy? All this time, however, the
democratic party lias been giving us
English free trade. The republican
party has always taught patriotism.
There has never been a republican
fired against the flag of his country.
There was a great deal of talk
against the crime of '73. How could
an act of congress that was done in
open discission be a crime. I!ut ad-
mitting for the sake of argument that
there was s-ch. Up to 1873 there were
only ab u', SH,(!0),000 silver dollars
coined, and $.138,000,000 silver dollars
have been coined since then.
Bryan says that if free coinage of
silver is effected silver will immedi-
ate be worth §1.29 an ounce. Bryan
admits that supply and demand con-
trols the price of silver. If the demand
created by this new act will raise it
to SI.29 an ounce then Mr. Bryan is
right. The question is will that propo-
sition carry out? The republican
party has alwa3's kept the silver dol-
lar at a parity with gold, but can bul-
lion be brought to that point'.' Was
it the truth about silver? We have
made a demand for silver since '73 by
coinage at the rate of ¥30,000,000 a
year but we have not been able to
keep up the pi ice of silver. It has
continuaPy decreased. The reason
was that the supply was greater than
the demand. Jlr. Carlisle says tha' the
part in tbe politics of the territory, as j United States mints have a capacity
ne had until recently occupied a posi- j of only coining 810,000.000 a year, ten

main issue of the campaign. It was
not the main issue. The democratic
party has heretofore made free trade
the issue. Now they have gone back
] on all their pait and say "Give us
a chalice again and we will give you
plenty of money." What was neces-
sary in this campaign was for
men to read, examine and be
posted. The opposition hassaid a great
; deal of the republican party that was
not true. They do so either through
: ignorance or willful misrepresenta-
tion. They charge that the republi-
can platform advocates a single gold
standard. It was not so. It was for
the money we now have. For gold,

as good as the other, and by its
legislation it has made it possible for

that the government shall coin all sil-

way of getting this money except by
having something to sell to these indi-

It has always been the pride of the
republican party to make America the
greatest commercial nation on earth.
If we made any change in the coinage

The speaker addressed himself at
great length and declared without re-
serve that if the citizens of Logan
county and this pari of the territory
knew what was good for them they
should vote for Flynn whether they be
democrats or populists or what not.
He declared, without reserve, that Mr.
Flynn can do Oklahoma more good
than any man that might be sent
there. lie was now one of the most
popular men in congress. The
speaker said that he lived on the west
side, but he could say that the demo-
crats as well as the republicans will
all vote for him over there. He asked
"what could Callahan do if lie were
sent there?" Nothing! Dennis Flynn
had the friendship of every member of
congress, democrat and republican.
He was the representative of the peo-
ple, not of any party, of Oklahoma.
No man ever asked a favor of him
or wrote a letter to him that he did
not attend to the matter. On the mat-
ter of free homes the speaker said that'
the bill was pow pending in the sen- |
ate. It was Flvnii's measure. If the;
people of Oklahoma turned down ,
Flynn, when the measure is to bo ad- j
vocated again the senators would say
" We have bem misinformed. Mr.
Flynn introduced the free homes bill i
and told us that the people of Okla- j
hoina desired to have the measure j
passed, now you have turned him
down. This shows that you do not
lay much stress on the measure or the
man who introduced it."
Judge Burford ended his speech
amid great applause. The Glee club
and the colored Lincoln club sang
some happy selections and then II. II.

the short time he had a very happy
and rousing speech. He had to go

not hear him at greater length.

A great cry is being made about low
wages and the point made that under
republican administration there were
some strikei?. Strikes show that the
employes were employed. Since then
they have had nothing to do.
Referring to prices, the speaker
showed that wheat has fallen because
the surplus from its enormous produc-
tion has increased faster than the de-
mand. Since 1873 the per cent of in-
crease has been 201 per cent. He
showed that where a man sells more
than he bought he was making money.
It was the same about our trade with
