Particulars.
The great Bryan parade in this
city last Saturday is still the talk of
everybody. The like of it was never
witnessed in the territory. Those
who were engaged in organizing it
never dreamed ot the success at-
tained.
The great calvacade was headed
by the Enid band, discoursing patri-
otic airs and the cheering of the en-
thusiastic people on the side walk
and in the parade was heard to a
great distance outside the city.
The most original as ivell as the
most atractive feature of the parade
was the sixteen yojng ladies hand-
somely dressed in white and one in
yellow gold. This, of course, illus-
trated the free and unlimited coin-
age of gold and silver at tne ratio of
16 to 1. The fine costumes worn by
the girls were designed and made by
Miss Maione. The banners were the
artistic work of inimitable Bill Div-
ers. The ladies all rode snow white
N horses, furnished by Joe Fitzpairick,
and every horse had been groomed
and cleaned as slick as driven snow
from the clouds.
The following young ladies took
part in the parade: —
Misses Edna McKenzie, Maggie
Corry, Nellie Corry, Mattie Hall,
Edith Decker, Emma Fegar, Pearl
Bennett, Ethel Purcell, Claudia
Davis, Clara Kennedy, Beulah Mc«
Millan, Maud Watt, Beulah Holland,
Fioy Guy, Jennie Hedgpeth, Lou
Heugpeth, and Mrs. McMunn. Miss
Guy represented the gold.
The next attraction was sixteen to
one, represented by young men fan-
tastically dressed. The gold bu&,
Ernest Taylor, rode a burro; follow-
ing this came a large calvicade of
cowboys riding horses, ponies, etc.,
etc. About nineteen Union soldiers
of the late civil war were in the
parade on foot.
The most laughable part of the
parade was a mixed school on a farm
wagon. A part of the boys were
blacked up to represent negroes and
a banner representing a school house
with a whole lot of little white and
black fellows playing on the play
ground.
Another rousing feature was the
band of martial music from the coun-
try somewhere. They simply made
the fife and drums howl with sound
all along the route of the parade.
There were two hundred and twenty-
two buggies, carriages, wagons, carts
etc., in the parade. The route was
stretched out over the city much
more than usual so that the proces-
sion would not interlap. The chief
marshal was Prank Feger, assisted
by Frank Letson, Frank Purcell, Bill
Divers, Jack Jones and others. It
was a scene long to be remembered.
Happily Mated.
At 2 p. m., Sunday, November 4tb,
at the residence of Judge S. H. Brad-
ley, No. 1508 Grand avenue, in this
city, and by Judge Bradley, officiat-
ing. Mr. George T. Parkhurst and
Miss Mary Louisa Mangold, both of
El Reno, O. T., were uuited in mar-
riage. Mr. Parkhust is among the
prominent business men of El Reno,
being the local manager of the
Standard Oil Company. Miss Man-
gold is much beloved and popular
among the social circles of that city.
The bride and groom returned to
their home in El Reno this morning,
where they will be "at home" to their
hosts of irierds who will greet them
with a welcome and a "house warm-
ing."
The Enid Furn.ture Co. shipped $9C
worth of goods to Renfrow and Deer
Creek, Grant county, this morning.
Also <$100 £worth to Kremlin, this
county, this morning. When the
people of theiCherokee Strip desire
real nice up to date furniture, they
all come to Enid. *
A well known young couple of this
city are to be married next Thanks
giving. They will start out in life
with a turkey leg in each hand and a
wish.bone over the kitchen door.
S. S. Convention.
The quarterly convention of the
Enid Sunday schouls met at the Bap-
tist church Sunday afternoon. The
house was crowded, every seat being
occupied by those who desired to
witneso the proceedings. The meet-
ing was presided over by President
Dora Gibbs. Secretary Fred Smith
was in his chair at the tap of the oell.
The program was well arranged
and very interesting. Short addresses
were delivered by Col. Stanton, Rev.
Munger, Rev. Morris, Judge Robert
Lyle and Supt. McGlll. Selected
music was rendered by the Baptist
and Congregational church choirs,
which was good indeed. Miss Birdie
McKenzie, Master Cleo King and
M'ss Gertrude Easterly and others
gave short appropriate recitations
and Miss Blossom Fleming sang one
of her ever welcome songs.
Steps were taken looking to the
ingathering of many children to the
Sunday schools who have not been in
the habit of attending.
NOT ALL LOST.
Simply Awful.
"You lie!" shrieked a rep politician
to a democrat the other evening,
who said he believed something de-
rogatory to Dennis Flynn, "and if you
say that you'il have me onto you!"
The democrat looked at hini coolly
and asked him if he meant fight.
The rep's face grew livid with rage;
his breath came in gasps; his lips
worked nervously and his glaring
eyes resembled those of a Scotch
Terrier just preparing to munch a
pestilentious flea, which had sucked
a quart of his blood. He didn't snort
nor spit Ore, but he looked a holy
terror—or holey. Seeing that the
knees of the democrat refused to
smite together, his teeth disdained to
chatter and he showed little fear,
the rep went over to his corner and
lay down, feeling beastly ashamed of
himself.
Moral:—Don't be a sardine.
The Allied Reform Forces of Gar-
field County Have Recovered
the County From Re-
publican Administra-
tion.
OVER HALF
Of The Fusion County Ticket Elect,

sioners.
Opera House Meeting.
The opera house overflow meeting
Saturday night was encouraging to
the allied forces. The opera house
was crowded wi.th an enthusiastic
crowd of earnest seekers for infor-
mation in this campaign. This in
face of the fact that the meeting
was an impromptu affair; it was not
advertised. It was held because all
the noted orators could not talk dur.
ing the day. The Hon. Delos Walker
of Oklahoma City, held the audience
spellbound in a masterly speech on
the issues of t he day for' two hours.
The maeting was presided over by
Mr. Edmond Frantz. The Enid band
furnished excellent music for the
occasion. At least 1,000 people at-
tended the meeting.
There is nothing like energy. A
Jonesville cow was so energetic the
other night that she broke down the
fence of the cow.lot and ate all of
her owner's apple trees and tomato
vines.
Miss Julia Withers, of Livingston
county, Mo., is visiting with the fam-
ily of F. G. Druser, of Wilcox. Being
a newspaper lady Bhe paid the WAVE
a visit to see how newspapers are
made in Oklahoma.
Enid is "Bigger'an" Shawnee.
The city of Enid's registration of
voters figures to 979, and then it is
thought that a great many have
been missed. Shawnee shows up with
785. This indicates beyond all doubt
that Enid is the third city in Okla-
homa. Perry falls behind both Enid
and Shawnee.
Now the newspapers can idevote a
little attention to news and business
pursuits.
This was the last day of the jolly
candidate. His beaming face will
be seen no more for two years. No
more will we feel his warm handshake
or hear h'.s cheery "howdy." Gone-
tied like the horse that was driven by
a merclUss jot key is that pumpkin
smile, arid over his face has fallen
the long disguised frown—with it
comes a "howdy" that would grate
the nerves of a giraffe. His wife
hath become as other women and
turns the clothes ringer as of yore.
Silence broods over the land and
Patriotism, all dusty and begrimed,
is oiling her feathers on the limbs of
a black jack; while Nature is mend-
ing the cracks in the firmament
caused by the tones of lusty-voiced
orators. As the sun goes down this
evening we evolve into a new world
and are greeted by new faces.
Mr. S. A. Tunneson is at home after
an all summer's absende, traveling
for the McCormack Harvester Co.
Mr. Tunneson is now selling the goods
of the Perkins Wind Mill Co.

Notwithstanding the defeat of the
allied forces arrayed against a sub
sidized government in favor of cor-
porations and capital, headed by our
matchless commoner, W, J. Bryan,
the fusion forces of Garfield county
have secured a wonderful victory
against republicanism, not complete
but enough to throw the administra-
tion of county affairs into the hands
of the people. The principle officer
outside of county treasurer, will be
Bryan men. Of course, at this hour
it is impossible for the Wave to give
an official report of the election, but
the following report of the result has
been tabulated from the reports
received at both Bryan and Republi
can headquarters, The republicans,
through Rock Island influence, elect-
ed the entire Legislature ticket
which the Wave feared and fore
warned the people. Here is the re-
port as returned up to this hour, giv
ing total votes and majorities. To
morrow the Wave will give an official
tabulated statement of the result:

The above report lacks the returns
of four townships, namely: Marshall
Otter, Olive and Washington, In
three the fusion ticket is sure to win
by a small majority and Washington
township a small majority republican.
The race between Moore and Beau-
champ has narrowed down to a few
votes, with indications that Moore
will carry the county from 5 to 12
votes.
FLYNN VS. NEFF-
The Race Mighty Close.—All the
Flynn Strongholds Heard Frotn
—Flynn Ahead About
4,000 Votes.
NEFF MAY WIN.
The Indications Point to Flynn's
Victory, but If Returns come in
as Reported Neff is Elected.
A telephone message from Guthrie
informs the Wave that Flynn is
4,000 ahead on the unofficial count
thus tar received, which is from
Flynn's strong holds. If the Neff, or
democratic counties, such as Greer,
Pottawatomie and others, come up
to expectation, Judge Robert A.
Neff will be elected to Congress by
about 722 plurality.

The Sweet Paternal Snore.
They sat together on the steps,
Beside the closed front door,
And in loving silence listened
To that deep paternal snore.
O, solemn, stately tones,
As with arm about her waist,
They ever and anon repeat,
Youngman make haste, make haste!
The evening hour is fleeting fast,
And soon will come the dawn;
And still the sound reverberates,
"Voung man be gone, be gone!
And thus they sit in alienee sweet
And listen, listen still;
O, how those tones, subdued and deep,
heir hearts emotions thrill!
But soon the long accustomed ear
The music heareth not,
And its warning import is at last
By both fond hearts forgot.
O, such sweet and lingering bliss,
Too soon ye dream is broke,
And thus while bound by Cupid's spell
The sleeper has awoke.
The inattentive ear hears not
The door lock's silent click,
Until at last the presence felt
Of swift paternal kick.
O, twinkle little star so bright,
Ye seem to speak of love!
He sees them now all round about
As well as up aboye.
Alas! no more upon those steps
He's sitting as of yore,
Fond recollections of the past,
That sweet sonorous snore.
—Geo. Thomas, Pana, O. T.
B. T, Thompson left Wednesday
evening for Kansas City and St.
Louis, to buy more winter goods for
the ever increasing trade of The
Racket, also to add to their already
large stock of Christmas goods. He
promises to show the largest and best
selected stock in this line that it is
possible to obtain. Christmas goods
will be on display about December 1.
The handsome new school house is
built up to the second story. It is of
the best pressed brick and will present
a fine appearance when completed.
However, the old yellow building on
the west side of it should be moved
away, as it mars the view.
The election was hotly contested in
this county and territory, as well [as
all over the,country, Desperate rows
occurred in different parts of the
country. In Denver, Col., two men
were killed and four wounded. No
fights In Enid.
Earl Young returned to the city
this w -ek in order to vote.
In New York and Illinois.—Old Kan-
sas Wrong as Usual.
The latest reports obtainable in
this city point strongly toward the
election of Wm. McKinley as presi-
dent of the United States. Our Billy
Bryan ran well, but the $30,000,000
slush fund and corruption method of
Mark Hanna was too much for honest
William. That Bryan was the choice
of the American people there can be
no doubt; the common people loved
him and voted for him, but the im-
mense, leverage held hy Mark Hanna
has no doubt frustrated their will
and placed McKinley, the Vasselof
the trust, and moneychangers, in the
presidential chair for four 3'ears
more. All hail the power of money
and crown it Supreme in American
politics.
The following states were probably
carried by McKinley: California,
Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachu-
setts, Michigan, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wash-
ington, Wisconsin, Wyoming. Total
268.
The following states were carried
by Wm. J Bryan:—Alabama, Arkan-
sas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana. Mississippi, Missouri, Mon-
tana, Kentucky, Nevada, Nebraska,
Idaho, South Dakota, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
Utah, Virginia. Total 170.
Doubtful.—Delegare and West
Virginia. Total 9.
It is not impossible tor the above
report to be changed and Mr. Bryan
elected when full returns come in,
but we fear that it is authentic.
THE TWO TERRITORIES.
The relative population of the two
territories will be a nice question for
those to handle who are fonl of spec-
ulating on the growth during the
coming decade. Although the tribal
governments still retain the title to
the lands of the Indian territory, the
country is already quite well settled.
The white population numbers in
round numbers $325,000, about two-
thirds being residents of towns.
There is no unsettled area in the In-
dian Territory, but when the contem-
plated change in government and
land ownership takes place a very
great increase in population will take
place. The lands which are now only
partly cultivated will very soon be
put under a high state of cultivation,
and the increase in rural population
will increase the population of the
towns. The development of the coal
mines will also bring into the terri-
tory a large population. The terri-
tory can reasonably expect an in-
crease of 200,000 in its population by
the next census taking time.
Will Oklahoma keep pace with her
neighbor? The ordinary increase of
population in the settled districts
would not be sufficient with the de-
velopment of the Indian Territory,
but Oklahoma has a reserve in the
way of unopened lands which will
probably suffice to keep to the two
territories poised as to population.
It the new territory to be opened to
settlement m comes as densely popu-
lated as Oklahoma is now it will sup-
port a population of 120,000. The de-
velopment of the Territory ought
easily add 80,000, for there is yet
much land to be settled and put under
cultivation, and the cities are reach-
ing an age at which manufacturing
enterprises are taken up. And in the
line of possibilities can be named the
development of the mineral wealth
of the Wichita Mountains. Should
important mineral discoveries be
made in those mountains the popula-
tion of the Territory would be greatly
augmented thereby.—Times Journal.
Four prominent young ladies of
Nardin are under arrest for playing
Hallowe'en pranks on the townspeo-
ple. The relations of the young
ladies are greatly exercised over the
affair and say the arrest is absolutely
without cause. The marshal says
the women were going about the
town tearing down fences and putting
tick-tacks on windows of residences
