Tiuvbus is gaining strength in
the doubtful counties unci his elei
tion is now iilmost n certainty. Of
n truth, we feel 110 uneasiness ns to
that. r
It is not necessary for the demo-
crats to carry New York in order
to elect Cleveland j but then there
is no doubt about the state fcoing
democratic.
Thekk is a sentiment abroad
that Oklahoma will go democratic
—and the sentiment is growing
louder and broader as the campaign
proceed?.
The worst kind of lies are half
truths. The republican papers of
the territory ought to bear this in
mind when they allude to the Hon.
O. II. Travels.
If the balance of the Oklahoma
counties give lion. O. II. 1 ravers
one-half as tunny votes as Clevel-
and will give him, tils candidacy is
obscured by uo sign of shade or
shadow.
Choi.kra Is knocking btrongly at
our doors, and a few eases are re-
ported in New York, Uncle Sam,
however, is using all due precau-
tion to keep the unwelcome foreign
visitor from prolonging its stay
upon our shores.
According to history, the politi-
cal horizon now looks like that of
1852, when the democratic party
swept all but four states of the
union, and the defeat of its whig
enemy was so everwhelmlng that
in the following year the latter
gave up the ghost.
of Oklahoma. Every pledge hp
shall make to tho people of Oklaho-
ma will be a pledge of honor to be
faithfully anil honestly observed by
liiui. He will not deal in blunder-
buss and taffy to gain the votes of
the people nnd then laugh al them
for their foolishness for believing
him alteraarits. That is not O. II
Truvers. lie is a man too high to
stoop to such questionable methods;
too honorable to countenance a re-
sort to the trickster and trufticer in
the confidence of the people. If
there be those in Oklahoma whose
prejudices are holding them
back from giving him their support
let tliem sto,> and think before tliey
step beyond the bridge. We are
talking to democrats, and It is for
them to decide the case. Let them
never forget the fact that we have
n democratic congress, and that
whatever of beneficial legislation
and favors Oklahoma gets must
come from a democratic congress,
and that these favors must come
through the etl'orts of the Oklahoma
congressman, and tho Hon. O. II.
Travels is the man to get them.

The democrats of this county are
resting easy. We are largely in

cratic and republican organizations,
though the agents of the latter are
doing some persistent fat frying.
The most active politics at present
are found in tho people's party
which represents evervth« '~, that
isms have special advocates. There
is a freshness and novelty about a
new party that is inspiring to the
workers; hence the alliance folks
are making much noise ami will
have some votes, but not enough to
cut much of a figure. The election |
will turn upon the vote of New
York. Democrats and republicans
alike concede this, and the great
work .of the campaign will be done
in tint stato by both parties. We
have faith to believe Mint the agen-
cy which directed the Chicago con-
vention against itself and made
victory as easy, will make New
York democratic in November.
Tho leaders evi iently have an un-
derstanding. If so, ( loveland will
certainly carry his own state.
Even Mr. Harrison's warmest ad-
mirers do not believe he will he
able to carry Indiana. The demo-
crats claim it with confidence, and
base their claim on a thoroughly
complete canvass, upon the united
front they represent, upon honest
ampnigniug and upon the Austral-
ian ballot system, which will pre-
vent the repetition of the methods
<>f Dorse.v in IS.SI) and of Dudley in
1888. The other states will un-
doubtedly vote as they did four
years ago, except the democrats
will receive a few electoral votes
in Michigan, and tho republicans
will doubtless take tho new west-
ern states. This is the situation
now. A month hence possibilities
and probabilities may he radically
changed. The democrats, howev-
er, see nothing ahead that is at all
discouraging.

LEXINGTON, - - O. T-
SALOON,
In the pugilistic contest between
John L. Sullivan and James I,. Cor-
bett at New Orleans Wednesday
tiie laltoi knocked out tho former,
thereby winning tU'SjOCt) and tho
championship of the world. In ad-
dition to losing the championship,
Sullivan lost his life, ho living on
Thursday night, presumably from
injuries received in tin- light.
Am. our American cities are tak-
ing a general clean up and putting
themselves in readiness to cope
with the cholera should the dread
Asiatic plague gain a hold upon
our country. It is in New York
now, and the vast number of Am-
ericans who are now fleeing from'
Europe lor their lives may yet car-
ry contagion to overy American
seaport.
Monday was labor day—a holi-
day, a recognition of tho dignity of
labor and the laborer. At many
places the laborers of tins country
assembled in mass-meetings, in
picnic groves, and where the labor-
ers are few, by twos and threes, In
discuss tho intricate and involved
labor question, or to hear orations
or ensays on the subject ol the rights
and wrouirM of the laborer.
Whatkvkk Tub I.kadeb says
that seems harsh in reference to the
third party docs not apply to the
deluded rank and file of that or-
ganization, but to the sore headed
office-seekers who are the leaders
of the move. There is nothing that
cau be said of them that i.s to.)
harsh. Thev are doing everything
in their power to divide the demo-
cratic in the interest of tiie republi-
can party. That's a fact that can-
not be denied.
The Guthrie Capital publishes a
letter purporting to have been writ-
ten at Norman which attempts to
explain the congressional situation
in this county. It says the demo-
crats are dissatisfied at tin; nomina-
tion 3f Travers over Lane, which
statement is as false as it is malici-
ous. Of course Cleveland coun-
ty was for a home man ttr.it, but
stand now firmly united upon the
nominee—no true democrat would
do otherwise. The Norman Trans-
cript has the gall to reproduce the
letter in question, when it knew
every statement it contained to be
utterly false.
Auabor in the port of victory next Xovotnber.
Although under a republican aduiiuirftration
and tho seat of one of tho must importnnt
branches of the republican national coiniuittoe,
and tho liarrisonians have the band wagon—
till tho voioo of the turtle is huard in the lan.l.
Tho Cloveland administration will never be
forirotton in the United Stales, and especially in
Wuiihiugton will it cvor bo rome^nbered as a
turning point as much in tho sooiul as the politi-
cal world. Up to the udvent of douiocrntio pow-
er, the old-tiiue Wushiugtonians bad, since tho
oioso of tho late war, kept strictly to themselves
ami in tho oflicial circles they cluno to bo un-
known. This state of affairs win changed for
the first time whon within u lifetime almost a
den oc.'at was installed in the white house. An
administration that goos into history as Mr.
Cleveland's did, marked by tho most stupendous ■
rol'oruis the country has ever seen, is something
to be forever praisod. It uot only alleviated
suffering, it elevated both the poor and rich,
and wai remarkable for au olcgauee and dignity
toes of whijli are still heard in every
comer of Washington. Tho lead democracy
assumed it still hold at Washington. Last
winter the wives of somo of tho most prominent
lomucratic politiiians reoeived nt tho whito
bouse with Mrs. Harrison, Such a thing w?s
unheard of prior to 18S4. Many of the mo t
popular bouse/in Washington are the homes of
unswerving democrats.
All the social w>>rul is looking forwurd to the
opening of the oid Corcoran mansion on li
t, which is to bu the borne of Seuator Calvin I
K. lirice's (.harming household. It bus boon
roiuodlcd and repaired at a <o.-t of many thous- j
audi of dollars. Tho front door, where for lone (
years so many people, old and young, grave ami
gey, pRjfcd into the hospitable home, has been
changcd into u pretty window, and the main
entrance made through tho former driveway',
A number of other changes have been introduc-
ed. and tho whole buildiug will soon present au
entirely now appearance. The plans of enter-
taining have kept pace with the plans of archi-
tecture, it scorns, ami the spleudid fetes to be
hold there next winter are already looked for-
ward to with happy autioipationl,
It is a foregone coucluaion that with tho in
eonimg of the ex-president and the next presi-
dent the Whitneys will be a power, and what-
ever house they occupy will be a continuous
festive scene. Thus far the political magnet
iu tbo capital points to political glory and social
success, and there is a still smilo oomingover
the face of creation here. There is deep demo-
cracy in tho soil just ready to spring up with a
million blooms to beautify the frozen air next
winter, following the announcement after the
eleotioa in November. Although Clvvelunu
will not assume authority until sprlug, his pres-
ence will be felt, us "coming cvonts cast their
shadows before." It will be a pleasant relief
to rest beneath the shade of deinooratio succ -s
after the for rid heat of a political contest that
will make ull hands feel tbat they are earning
tbeir bread by tho sweat of their brows.
The pleasure of entertaining the O, A. K. will
hardly subside before hurrahs for success will
rend the air. and crowing c;> will take the
places of the distinguish, ii soldiers now adorn-
ing tiie dully pi pers. £yprib pictures of .Mrs.
Cleveland are already gracing the windows of
