Waukomis, our neighbor on the

The meeting of the Joe Wisby club

How Commissioners will be Elected
In the Strip.—Opinion of At-
torney-General.
Attorney-General Galbraith has
rendered a decision which clears
away a great deal of vexation in the
strip counties in regard to the method
of voting for commissioners in those
counties. Opinion has been divided
here as to whether each commission-
er's election must be decided by the
vote of his respective district or
whether a choice would depend upon
the vote of the county.
As a settlement of the vexed ques-
tion the attorney general holds that
the commissioners of the new coun-
ties of the strip are elective by the
entire county. The candidate re-
ceiving the highest number of votes
holds for the long term, four years,
and the next two highest candidates
hold ollice for two years each.
MAKE FRIENDS.
Life is very critical, Any word
be our last. Any farewell, even
amid glee and merriment may be
forever. If this truth were but
burned into our consciousness, and,
if ruled as a deep conviction and
real power into our lives, would it
not give new meaning to our human
relationship? Would it not make
us far more tender than we some-
times are? Would it not oftentimes
put a rein upon our rash, impetuous
speech? Would we carry in our
hearts the miserable suspicions and
jealousies that now often embitter
the fountains of our lives? Would
we allow trivial misunderstandings
to build up a wall between us and
those who oug'to stand very close
to us? Would we keep alive petty
quarrels year after year which a
manly word any day would compose?
Would we pass our old friends and
neighbors on the streets without
recognition, because of pride, or
ancient grudge? Or would we be so
chary of the kind words, our sym-
pathy, our comfort, when weary
hearts all about us are breaking for
just such expressions of interest or
appreciation as we have in our power
to give.
tribute TO judge McATEE.
The petit jury of the present term
of court prepared a testimonial
of their appreciation of the merit-
orious conduct of Judge McAtee
and formally presented it to him last
evening.
Enid, Oklahoma, October 5.
May it Please Your Bonok: The
petit jury for O county of September
term, 181)4, of the district court,
desiring to express to your honor
our sentiments of high eBteem and
confidence, beg leave to present that
at a meeting of the jury it was
unanimously
Resolved, That after nearly a
months service on the jury in this
court, we have had ample oppor-
tunity of judging of the high charac-
ter, judicial ability, and the uniform-
ly fair and courteous treatment ac-
corded to the bar and jury,
Therefore, we desire to express our
deep sense of gratitude to the pre-
siding judge of this district for his
eminent and manifest kindness and
consideration toward the members
of the jury, and all members con-
nected with the transactions of the
business of the court, and we further
express the sincere hope that your
honor may long be spared to preside
over the judicial affairs of this dis-
trict and county with the same im-
partiality, dignity and discretion as
has been exemplified to the jury, bar
and litigants during the present
term of court.

The Democratic Council Convention
all Serene and a Strong Man
Nominated.
The democratic council convention
met in the rooms of the Joe Wisby
club on E street. Judge.I. W. Totnp-
son, ol Enid, was made temporary
chairman and Tom Neal, of Jo u.--
ville, secretary. Through the evolu-
tions of time the temporary officers
were made permanent.
After the usual sparring on repre-
sentation, owing to the manv glow-
ing mistakes of the territorial cen-
tral committee, the convention got
down to business.
A committee on resolutions headed
by our old friend Roark, presented a
ringing set of resolutions, which are
to elaborate for this issue of the
daily.
Mr. Shobe, of Colli ns township, pre-
sented the name of Andrew Jackson
Jones, of Kentucky, but later, of
Laopolis township, O county, as a
candidate for councilman. The
Honorable Frank Stevens, of Wau-
komis, nominated Hon. John C.
Moore, of this city.
The first ballot devulged the fact
that Jack Jones was the choice of the
convention and he was declared nom-
inated. The convention was har-
monious, not a bitter word was ex-
pressed and Jack Jones will have to
go to Guthrie, after Christmas next.
The convention adjourned.
THE
CON-
juixih J. W. Tompson of this city
made a speech at Cleo Springs in the
interest of Joe Wisby last Friday.
The judge reports a good attendance
and much enthusiasm in Cleo and M
county for Joe Wisby and that south-
ern M county is certainly Democratic
He reports the farmers tearing up
the sod In every direction, between
this city and Cleo.
The recent cold wave struck a
country editor over at Weston, Mis-
souri, about the gable end and sent a
meandering chill up his backbone,
causing him to write the following
appeal to delinquent subscribers:
"Subscribers who have promised to
pay in wood will please bring in
some within the next ten days. We
need it now. Not next summer."
The twentyfourth democratic rep-
resentative convention met In North
Enid Saturday and nominated Hon.
William Lay as their candidate for
that district. The pleasure of the
convention is the pleasure of the
democracy, hence, Mr. Lay is the
candidate and he will probably be
elected as the district is undoubtedly
democratic.
Most everything in this world is
full of deception. The biggest
orange has the thickest peel, the
reddest apple is often the sourest.
The girl with pretty bangs may have
false hair, and the most graceful en-
tertainer may be the poorest sort of
a cook. Harking dogs seldom bite,
and the man who boasts of his wealth
and sneers at the poor, may die wear-
ing patched pantaloons.
SENTENCED TO HANG.
From the Guthrie Leader.
Robert J. Phillips was brought in
from Pottawatomie county yesterday
and lodged in the federal jail by
Deputy Fox. Jn the Tecumseh dis-
trict court, Judge Scott presiding,
Phillips was tried convicted and sen-
tenced to hang for the murder of John
T. Willis near Dale, on May 8, 1894
The execution will take place in Pot-
towattomie county on Fridav, Novem-
ber 23.
Phillips' crime took place in that
part of the Kickapoo country attach-
ed to Pot tawatomie county for judic-
ial purposes, and threw the body in
the river. Not contented in taking
the dead man's property, he took his
name and was followed to Texas and
captured by Deputy Charley Fox,
while going by the name of Willis.
Every precaution will be taken to
prevent self-destruction.
Alcott & Melton were counsel for
Phillips,'While Uncle Sam was ably
represented by Attorney McMechan.

Upon the conclusion of the rea',: i
of the memorial, Hon. George D.
Orner, president of the county bar
association, arose, and moved that
the resolutions just read he adopted
by the bar of this county, and spread
upon the journal of this court; which
motion was seconded by Hon. John C.
Moore, vice president of the oar as-
rociation and the same was unani-
mously carried.
After the action of the bar, Judge
McAtee responded to this testimonial
in the following brief remarks:
Gentlemen of the petit jury, and the
grand jury, who are present and
gentlemen of the bar:
I thank you sincerely for this ex- j
pression of confidence and respect, j
and I assure you that I shall long J
treasur it as one of the pleasant L „

could not fail to be of very great |
value, and long to be remembered.
I need not say that this is Very
unexpected. Of course I spw the

REPRESENTATIVE
VENTION.
The democratic representative con-
vention held at Waukomis Saturday
was quite a lively affair. Almost
every delegate was an orator and
came prepared to make a speech.
J. B. Roark was made temporary
chairman and Daniel O'Keert, sec-
retary. Cimarron township, of M
county, consisting of six congressional
townships was entitled to six dele-
gates, in the convention only one
delegate appeared who insisted on
casting the six votes in the conven-
tion, but as he could not produce any
proxies or any competent authority, i
he was only allowed one vote. The |
central committee, who made the I
call, overlooked Jonesville entirely,
hence, she was not allowed any repre-
sentative although six had been
elected and were on hand claiming
seats in the convention, but was
only accorded one. These questions
brought out considerable exciting
discussion. Waukomis was allowed
four votes so that there was no
doubt concerning the justice of
Jonesville in connection with Enid
township claiming six. These mat-
ters caused considerable feeling in
the convention. J. D. Waters, of
Cleveland township, was elected
permanent chairman and Shirley
Chapman, secretary. The candidates
before the convention were Frank F.
Stevens, of Waukomis, and W. S.
Denton, of Enid; the strength of the
fl GRfcflT SUCCESS.
Was the Democratic Barbecue Among
the Trees, and on the Mossy
Banks of Red Rock Creek
in Hassler Township
Yesterday.
fl LARGE CROWD PRE.SE.NT.
Bnrbecued [3eef, Hot Coffee, Bread
Butter and Lots of Speeches.
The Democratic barbecue held in
Hassler township yesterday, congres-
sional township 24, range 4, section
33, was a great success in attendance,
speech-making and feasting on as
fine barbecued beef as was ever laid
out to a hungry congregation of peo-
ple; the way the fresh bread, butter,
hot coffee and tender beef disappear-
ed was a caution and a wonder. Hon
Samuel Ewbanks, late ma3<>r of the
city of Central Pueblo, Colorado,
later from Cheyenne, Wyoming, still
later lrom the banks of the Rhine,
near Paris, but more recently from
Jonesville, was the boss barbecuer,
assisted by Charley Codding, J. L.
Whiteside and others whose names
we failed to get. but suffice us to say
the tender meat of the two, two-year-
old steers were done up brown.
Everybody present ate all they could
and vet there was enough left to sat-
isfy the hunger of the children of
Israel had they come along under the
| leadership of that ancient democrat,
the Hon. Moses.
Good plank seats had been provi-
ded for at least 1,000 people and they
were well filled with a mixture of all
parties. W. H. Droper, the member
of the central committee from Hass-
ler township acted as chairman of
the meeting. The Enid Rival band
was present and discoursed many fine
selections of nuisic. The meeting
was addressed by Judge J. W. Tomp-
son, who made a speech one hour and
a half long, full of good, strong demo
cratic argument and winding up with
an introduction of the democratic
candidates to the people.
.1. L. Isenberg followed with a few
remarks full of bristles and points
more particularly bristles, winding
up in twenty-five minutes. Next
came, Bob Wood, our gallent blue
eyed good natured candidate for
a vast difference.
We often hear some very intelli-
gent pop make the remark chat
there is no difference between the
two old parties. There is almost as
much differance between the demo-
cratic and republican parties as
there is sunlight and darkness. One
of the cardinal principles of the
democratic party, ever since the or-
ganization of this republic, is equal
rights to all men and special privi-
leges to nor.e. This principle has
never been changed or deviated from
by any true democrat. Under it the
party has always fought the enact-
ment of class legislation whenever it
has come up in legislative halls
throughout the country. The most
heinous piece of class legislation,was
the infant industry protective tariff
systems enacted at different times in
this country by the republican party
during its long reign of power. A law
that is intended to build up one set
of men and make them tyranical
thrice millionaires at the expense of
another set, is class legislation of
the very worst type. It has estab-
lished a sortnof monarchial power in
this country which can control our
elections and does control them: a
power that can and does control the
legislative branches of the govern-
ment; it brought about a vast cen-
tralization of wealth, accumulated
through the taxation of the middle
and poorer classes, many of whom are
now homeless paupers and tramps.
The argument of the republican par
ty, to the people, in inaugurating
the protective tariff system was, and
still is, that it is absolutely necessary'
to protect the wages of the laboring
classes and enhance the price of the
products of the farmer. Time and ,
experience has proven that all such
arguments are false.
Under the great McKinley bill, of
which the republicans boast so loudlv,
wages fell lower in the United States
than has been known, and the product
of the farmers fell below the price
of production. This being patent
and true to every man of ordinary in-
telligence, where then did the bene-
fit to the poor and hard working peo-
ple eome in? It simply never did
come in. The protected infant indus-
tries simply fattened, grew and en-
larged, until they became large,
powerful and stroag enough to crush
labor to the verge of starvation and
the poor farmer is being driven from
his home by the cruel mortgage held
by the eastern monarchs of protec-
tion. The republican party never
actually guaranteed one cent's worth
of protection to labor, not one line of
law can be found onthestatute books
protecting the wages of labor. The
protection to labor was left to the(-j
very chariatable hearts of the manu-
facturers anu if the charity of heart
of any one of them was placed on the
point of the finest cambric needle, it

Senator Plumb, shortly before

that the time was not far distant
when every acre of corn land would
be worth an $100. While the wheat

as the circuit of the globe, the corn
belt is clearly defined by certain con-
ditions of soil and climate which

fact must inevitably increase the

The authorities at Washington
give it out cold, that the opening of
the Kickapoo country has been in-

that the Indians are awfully slow in

reason is given that it is the desire of
the admlnlstraslon that congress
