Hang Out the Flags!
Mark Hanna has issued an order
that all those favoring the existing
gold standard and low prices shall
hang out the stars and stripes, on
Saturday, October 31st. This is the
first time in the nation's history 'hat
mi attempt is made to prostitute the
flag of the republic to so base a use.
Therefore, as the starry banner is
equally the emblem of all patriotic
Americans, and to show to the world
that the great masses of our people
are not yet willing serfs of a haughty
and corrupt plutocracy, it is suggest-
ed that every citizen who desires to
preserve the country's honor and in-
dependence, as it came to us from
the fathers: who believe in the
right of every man, rich or poor,
magnate or employe, to cast a free
and untramnieled ballot, and who
desire that real and genuine pros-
perity may once again return to
bless all the people,—display the
national colors at their homes, their
places of business, and wherever
they may be seen, on Saturday,
October 31,—in Oklahoma for Free
Silver, Free Homes, Free Men.

Oklahoma County, j'
C. C. Hudson, P. I). Kenyon and
J. N. Clark, first being duly s-vorn,
upon their oaths say, and each for
himself says: That he is a resi-
dent of Oklahoma, and a voter and
over 21 years of age; that he has
seen, read and examined an official
copy of house bill introduced in
congress by the Hon. Dennis T.
Flynn, ratifying and confirming an
agreement with the Comanche, Kio-
wa and Apache tribes of Indians,
and providing for the opening of
said lands to settlement; that said
bill provides that in addition to the
land office fees and commissions
each settler should pay Si.25 per
acre for the land entered; that sec-
tion four of said bill reads as fol-
lows:
'•Section 4. That the lands ac-
quired by this agreement shall be
opened to settlement by proclama-
tion of the president and be dispos-
ed of under the general provisions
of the homestead and townsite laws
of the United States; provided, that
in addition to the land office fees
prescribed by statute for such en-
tries the entryman shall pay one
dollar and twenty five cents per
acre for the land entered at the time
of submitting his final proof."
That an official copy of said bill
is now in possession of the Free Sil-
ver campaign committee at Okla-
homa City.— (Signed) C. C. Hudson,
P. D. Kenyon, J. N. Clark.
The editor of the State Demo-
crat says that the record] made
by the Populists will be the Demo-
cratic slogan in this campaign in
this county, not national issues. We
will bet that before the campaign is
ended, the editor of the Democrat
will wish his party had chosen the
Cuban War as their slogan.
Below we give a comparison of
county expenditures, between the
administration of Democrats and
Populists in this county during the
last three fiscal years.
It reveals that "Populist extrav
agance" comes at about {10,675.30
less, per year, in the matter of ex-
penditures, than Democratic "econ-
omy."

The fact shown by the above affi-
davit ought to put forever at rest
the pretensions of Mr. Flynn as the
champion and friend of free homes.
While advocating free homes for
votes, he tries to secure legislation
requiring the settler upon public
land to pay to the government $1.25
per acre for the land entered. The
Hon. J. Y. Callahan lives upon a
homestead in the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe country and is personally Iy accuned by Vheltemrcratof having

Sheriff Newblock has been indirect-
His interests are identical with al
those living on public lands.
In regard to our statement con-
cerning fees earned by county of-
ficers where we asserted that under
old laws these fees usually became
pocket change, we uttered a general
truth which the records in nearly all,
if not all the counties in the territo-
ry will substantiate. The Demo-
cratic speakers have tried to warp
this statement so as to make it ap-
pear that it was a reflection on Mr,
Durkee, and Mr. Durkee was not
even in our mind at the time we
wrote article. We have said in for-
mer issues of this paper that we be-
lieved Mr. Durkee and Mr. Thomp-
son to be honest, but incompetent,
and we have never retracted said as-
sertion, but we do say that Mr. Dur-
kee's fee record does not show that
he ever earned a single cent as fees,
for he never made a single entry in
said book.
In the joint discussion at the op-
era house, Monday night, the Dem-
ocratic county candidates were giv-
en an opportunity to express their
views in regard to their support of
delegate to congress. Only one of
them attempted to answer, and his
answer was, that he was not discuss-
ing territorial affairs. Admitting
by equivocation the charge that we
have made before, that they intend-
ed to try to deliver the Democratic
vote o' ibv. county to Dennis Flynn,
and get 'he Republican vote in re-
turn, for Democratic county ticket.
Democrat has never dared to publish
his charges, because he knew that
they could not be established. If
Newblock charged constructive mile-
age why did Bixler not give the pub-
lic the benefit of the facts in the case'/
We have called upon him time and
again to show when Sheriff Newblock
had charged constructive mileage.
Now probably, in keeping with the
sneaking campaign that is usually
made by the Democrat, he will come
out in the last issue of his paper
when it is too late to meet his false-
hoods and nail them, and show some-
thing from someone purporting to be
some kind of evidence that Newblock
has made some unreasonable charges,
and will try to make it appear as
constructive mileage. We are glad
to know that Bixler, in that event,
will enjoy the privilege of wallowing
in his own mire. The people of
Cleveland county know Sheriff New-
block to be a sober, thoughtful, hon-
est and diligent officer. And the sen-
timent of the people will be enough
to nail those lies, if Hixler ever makes
them public.
Mr. Bromley, the republican candi-
date for county clerk, called at our
office this week to make amends to us
for having misquoted some figures
and statements in the Voice. He said
that he glanced over the article hur-
riedly. and read only a part of it—
hence his mistake. We admire the
manhood in Mr. Bromley, for being
willing to confess a mistake, and
would only be too glad if some of the
other opposing candidates had the
honor in them, to make a fair and
open campaign.
Oh, how Bixlei • Texas
Pops, because he t. .. ..ere
trying to deliver their votes to gold-
bug McKinley in exchange for a few
state offices. We wonder how much
more honorable it is for Bixler. to try
to deliver the democratic vote of
Cleveland county, to gold-bug Dennis
Flynn, and ask the republicans in ex-
change to give the democrats a few
countv unices'-
The brazen falsehoods that are
being circulated for the purpose of
creating dissension in ranks of the
Populists, are just as ineffectual, as
they are infernal, and any candidate!
