I.ast Monday evening and Tues
day morning the delegates to the
Populists Territorial Convention be-
gan to pour into Guthrie and at 2
o'clock Tuesday afternoon when the
territorial chairman, Leo Vincent
called the convention to order about
245 of the 25: delegates were in their
seats ready for business. The terri-
torial chairman delivered a very fine
address and the mayor of Guthrie
extended a very cordial welcome and
assured the delegates that the citi-
7 ns of Guthrie was proud of the
fact that the convention had met in
their city and that nothing on their
part would be left undone to make
the stay of delegates in Guthrie a
pleasant one.
J F. Todd, of Lincoln county,
was elected temporary chairman of
the convention and in a very neat
speech thanked the convention for
the honor conferred. J. H. Dun, of
Woods county was made temporary
secretary after which the usual com-
mittees were appointed the conven-
tion adjourned until 8 o'clock Wed
nesday morning. In the evening,
those not serving on committees at-
tended the reception given in the
hall by the citizens of Guthrie, and
it was a very agreeable affair, and
all who attended enj( yed it greatly.
At 8 o'clock the next morning the
convention was called to order, and
the committee on credentials made
its report, which was adopted. The
committee on organiza'ion, rules and
order of business reported and the
same was adopted. The temporary
organization was made permanent.
The committee on platform made
its report and with but slight changes
was adopted as read. The rest of
the forenoon was devoted to nomi-
nating and seconding speeches of
five minutes duration. The names
of 14 candidates were placed in nom-
ination. An adjournment was taken
for dinner after which ten minutes
speeches from the candidates were
listened to after which the balloting
began. On the first ballot Hon. E.
E. Bennett, of EIReno, and Hon. J.
V. Callahan, of Kingfisher were in
the lead. Eighteen ballots were
taken before supper, but there was
very little change from first ballot
taken. Judge Ruggles, of Pottawat-
omie, Dr. Walker, of Oklahoma
City and Wm. O. Cromwell, of Enid,
showed increased strength.
After supper the first ballot show-
ed but little change; but on suc-
ceeding ballots the vote began to ,
shift. The delegates from the south
part of the territory began to unite
their vote alternately on Bennett,
Walker and Ruggles, but could not
muster sufficient votes to nominate
either, but they did succeed in caus-
ing the delegates from the northern
part of the territory to break away
from favorite sons and begin to mass
their votes on second choice candi-
dates, when this break occurred
Ruggles and Callahan sorang into
the lead and on the ballot, Lo-
gan county cast almost her entire
vote for Callahan. This started the
stamptde for Callahan and before
the result of the ballot was an- !
nounced he was made the unani- |
mous choice of the convention. In
our next week's paper we will pub-
lish our platform and also a short \
sketch of the man who will occupy
the seat in congress that Dennis
Flynn now holds, but fills much like j
a pea in a pod.
I the United States is the subtle coips
of sappers and miners constantly
working underground to undermine
the foundations of our confederat-
ed fabric. * * A judiciary inde-
pendent of a king or executive alone
is a good thing, but independence of
the will of the nation is a solecism,
at least in a republican government.
GOLD IN PRACTICE.
Mansfield, Mo, Aug. 3.—An inci-
dent occurred here today which is
causing farmers to scratch their
heads and study as they have never
done before. A foreign loan cora
pany, with offices in Springfield, this
state, held a mortgage on a farm
near here. The mortgage fell due
recently, and the agent came down
and demanded payment in gold, as
the mortgage read, 'payable in
gold." As not enough gold could
be found in the town to satisfy the
indebtedness, the farmer was ad-
vised to make a tender in silver dol-
lars and such other legal tender
money as could be had at the banks.
This was done, but the otter was re-
fused. The only alternative left was
to find the gold, which was done by
making a trip to Springfield, over 50
miles. This is the first incident that
has occurred here, showing the prac-
tical workings of the gold system as
now in force in the United States
A great many had read of like oc-
currences elsewhere, but this inci
dent, right here, in their homes, has
already caused many persons who
were formerly gold standard advo-
cates to change their position and
come out unqualifiedly for free
silver.

The John Sherman Democrats
will have a convention to nominate a
presidential ticket. Hanna weeps.
The gold standard Democrats of
Texas offer to vote the Pop. state
ticket, if the Pops will support the
McKinley electors. Great gawd.
If it takes two years of "hard
work" for Dennis Flynn to get a
free home bill through a House that
has nearly 100 Republican majority,
how many years will it take wnen
the Rep. majority is gone, in the
next congress?
The London Statist, a financial
journal, admits that the restoration
of silver free coinage here would
probably be followed by the reopen-
ing of the India mint, and that ' sil-

And so the "5o cent dollar" goes

In addressing a G. A. R. delega-
tion the other day Mr. McKinley re-
ferred to the nation's debts to the
bondholders and to the old soldiers.
The bondholders must be mentioned
first, as they are the more import-
ant, from the standpoint of the
Wall street candidate.

and offered the city $19,000,000 for
it. but at a referendum last week
the citizens, by a vote of 15,730 to

railway. They would have lost the
road if it had not been for the ref-
erendum, for the city administration
"stood in" with the C. H., & D. Co.
The goldbugs say the Propulist
protest against usurpation of au-
thority by federal courts, is "an-
archism." Then Thomas Jefferson,
in addition to writing the Declara-
tion of Independence, was also an
"anarchist," for in a letter written
Dec. 25, 1820, to Thomas Ritchie,
he says: " But it is not from
this branch of government (the
legislative) we have most reason to
fear. Taxes and short elections will
keep them right. The judiciary of
For real blood diseases relief can only
be obtained by using a real blood reme-
dy. So many people who are sufferers
from an obstinate or deep-seated blood
disease make the mistake of taking rem-
edies which at best are only tonics and
cannot possibly reach their trouble. It
is in just such cases which other so-called
blood remedies cannot reach that
S.S.S. has made some of the most won-
derful cures. Rheumatism is one of
the most obstinate diseases of the blood,
and there are few remedies which have
any effect whatever upon it.
Mr. Asa Smith, who resides at Green-
castle, Indiana, where he is well known,
writes:
"For many years I have suffered from
that terrible disease known as Sciatic
Rheumatism, which the treatment of
many physicians failed to relieve.
I have also used nearly every known
blood remedy, but they did me
no good, as they did not seem to
reach my case at all. I'ossibly my con-
dition and the extent of my suffering*

can be better appreciated when I state
that the disease reached a point where
it was a matter of utter impossibility for
me to take mv food, or handle myself in
any way, and for several months the
nurses were compelled to turn me in bed
by use of the sheets.
"This was my condition when S.S.S.
was recommended to me, and I must
confess that I had little hopes of any
medicine benefitting me. I was soon
encouraged, however, when after taking
three bottles I was able to move mv
right arm. I continued to take the med-
icine and before long was able to walk
across the room, and when I had finish-
ed one dozen bottles was able to get
about as of old.
" I have been hale and hearty now for
two years, without any sign of a return
of the disease. I will never cease to
praise S.S.S., which I regard as the most
wonderful blood remedy on earth ; it
brought me out of a condition of utter
helplessness to one of robust health,
with a weight of 170 pounds."
