THE OFFICIAL NHWSI'APBR OF LINCOLN COUNTY.
NINTH YEAR.
CHANDLER, OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1900.
NUMBER 38
Chandler Will Soon Be Making the Finest Pressed Brick in Oklahoma
The El Reno Convention.
The democrats'of the territory
met in delegate convention at El
Reno last Tuesday to elect dele-
gates to the Kansas City conven-
tion and to select a member of
the national committee. This
convention proved to be the
wildest and most disorderly ever
held in the territory, probably,
and after some wild talk and
riotous proceedings, half of the
delegates bolted the regular con-
vention and organized another,
and for a time two conventions
were in session in the same
room. Each convention elected
a full set "of delegates and a
riational.com mitteeman, and each
will go to Kansas City conven1
lion claiming recognition.
The fight seems to have been
.between J. R. Jacobs, candidate
for national committeeman, as-
sisted by Roy Hoffman, Temple
Houston, and J. W. McClelland
on one side, and, on the other
side, Jasper Sipes, also a candi-
date for national Committeeman,
Joe Wisby, Col. .1 W. Johnson,
Dan Perry, and L. Mitch.
The former were ,styled in the
newspaper reports as anti-fnsion
democrats and the Wisby.-Nipes
crowd as fusionists. The Hot!-
"maiirJacobs element made up a
combination which gave them a
majority anc which was able to
resist all attempts at slate break-
ing. They then went into the
convention to put their deal
through, bill grew rather' arbi-
trary in their consciousness of
strength, and so'gave an excuse
for a bolt. The Lincoln comity
delegates, with i he exception of
Major Moses Neal, acted wit li-
the Hoffman Jacobs combine,
and H. .S. Emmersou, of Stroud,
was one of the delegates elected
by the combine to the Kansas
City convention, while J. R
Jacobs, formerly of Clifton.' was
elected national committeeman.
Some of tlie scenes as report-
ed by The daily papers are a dis
grace to the territory, and the
bad feeling stirred up in the < on-
vent ion may trouble the Okla-
homa democracy lor years.
Hon. Hugh ' McCredie, of
Stroud, has purchased an inter-
est in the Oklahoma Saddlery
company of W. M. Keith and
will move his fatuily to.this city
soon. An invoice of the stock
was completed yesterday after-
noon. Oklahoma City people
will gladly welcome 'Mr. Mc-
Credie as a resident of this city
and lie will be a valuable addi-
tion to the business circles of the
city.—-Oklahoman. ■

POPULATION AND VALUATIONS
Some Statistics for 1900 Which Illustrate the Rapid
Growth and Development of Lincoln
County, Oklahoma.
•
The following table is compiled from the returns of the deputy
county assessors. The figures are not exact, but are very close
to'what the final result will be. The county board of equalization
will probably make some slight changes in the valuation, and the
territorial board may cause some further alterations, but the totals
will not be changed very much. The figures as to the population
are not as accurate as the U. S. census will be', for they were taken
more hurridly, but they show the population to be less than it real-
ly is, rather than greater. It will be noted that in two cases the
enumeration is incomplete.
