INCLUDE Til K FILIPINOS.
At a mass meeting held in Bos-
ton last week, attended by five
thousand people, ringing resolutions
were adopted, sympathizing with
the Boers in their struggle against
England. The resolutions are
right and proper and should be en-
dorsed by every liberty loving
American. But it seems the resolu-
tion should have been extended to
include tho Filipinos. If England
is doing wrong in prosecuting a war
against the Boers, arc we doing
right in keeping our troops in the
Philippine Islands? We should
pick the mote out of our own eye
before crossing the Atlantic and
holding an optical examination of
tho English.
England is wrong in her course
and is getting what she deserves—
defeat o n every side.
The newspaper comments
conversations heard upon all sides
since Mr. Bryan's great meeting in
Baltimore again brings up the
question of Ins w ulerful power as
an orator. It is doubtful if any
public mail in America, since the
foundation of the government, ever
possessed such a hold upon the
great mass of the people as Mr.
Bryan does. The secret of his
power is not his matchless eloquence
or even his wonderful power of
logic and argument. These do not
explain the place that Mr, Bryan
has won in the hearts of the people.
The secret of Mr. Bryan's power
lay in the fact that he is honest,
speaks his convictions earnestly,
but naturally, without even the
thought of concealing anything
from the people, lie trusts the
people and believes in them. 11 is
great hold upon them results from
the reciprocal action of mind upon
mind. Bryan is a million votes
stronger with the American people
that any other candidate that can
named by either party.—National
Watchman.
BRYAN I'I.RAHEI>.
A special to the New York Her-
ald from Washington says:
William J. Bryan spent a quiet
Sunday in this city and' left in the
evening for Providence, via New
York.
Mr. Bryan's visit to Providence
will be his second entry into New
England and while he does not, of
course, look for substantial results
from that section, he believes the
indications from his eastern recep-
tion will be of vslue to the party
throughout the country.
"I have been greatly pleased,"
he said, "at the interest manifested
by democrats of the east in w hat I
have had to say about the great
issues before the people. There is
every evidence of the return of very
many men, who, misunderstanding
the great issues, of the last campaign
went off to the enemy and I believe
that as tho real meaning of the
principle of tho Chicago platform is
better understood by tho people of
the East,not only will we regain the
democrats, but make serious inroans
in the ranks of our opponents."
Mr. Bryan does not believe that
the republicans will hold out inter-
national bimetallism in their plat-
form of 1000. He expects to see
their platform declare unequivocal
ly for the gold standard.

doubt, that this action released

SAVINGS or HON WILLIAM J BRYAN.
We arc opposed to the trusts—
'.he money trust, tho industrial
trusts, and the international land
grabbing trust.
'•"here are three arguments made
in defense of imperialism; First,
that there is money in it; second,
tbat God's in it; and third, that we
are in it and cannot get out of it.
When kings Beek to silence op-
position which they cannot meet by
argument they assert a divine right
to rule; so when Republicans seek
to silence opposition to an imperial
policy, which they cannot defend
by argument, they hide behind the
divine right and pretend that they
are carrying out the will of the
Almighty. We have a right to de
maud their credentials.
It is not strange that a particular
bank should be selected for favorit-
ism by those who believe that the
entire banking class should be favor-
ed as against iverybod) else.
When the right to special privilege
is once recognized it has no limita-
tions.
Speaking of destiny, it was the
destiny of Cain to slay Abel, but it
was also his destiny to wear the
brand of a murderer forever after-
wards.
After the sharks have eaten all
the small fish the large commences
on the small sharks. The small
banks which were relied upon to
help the Republican party into
power are now trembling for fear
that they will be swallowed up by
the larger financial institutions.
The present currency bill is bad
enough and yet it is only a step to-
ward the ultimate end aimed at by
the financiers. The scheme will
not lie complete until silver is made
a limited legal tender. The finan
ciers are not willing to risk that
step at this time. Neither will the
scheme be complete until the sys-
tem of branch banks is established.
Then the branch banks will run out
all other banks in the community
and after destroying competition
will have the community at its
mercy. Thus the final great bank,
with its numerous branches, will
control the industries and the
politics of the nation.
POLITICALLY SPEAKLNQ

L. I*. Marker is mentioned as a
candidate for sheriff on the populist
ticket,
I'rof. L. J. Peterson will likely
make the race for the populist nom-
ination for register of deeds.
S. I,. Sykes has declared his in-
tention of making the race for the
democratic nomination for sheriff
L). L. Larsh is mentioned as the
probable nominee for representative
on the republican ticket iu this
district.
Abe Mitchell and J. P. Burford
are mentioned as candidates for the
democratic nomination lor city
marshal.
C. G. Homer, of Guthrie, is being
mentioned by the territorial pi ess as
a delegate to the National Demo-
cratic Convention, The Guthrie
Leader has, however, remained
silent regarding Mr. Horner.
Joe Lambert, of near Moore, has
been spoken of as a candidate for
sheriff. Mr. Lambert was in town
Friday and authorizes the Ojjmo-
cnat to state that he will not be a
candidate for the democratic nomi-
nation.
J.J. Burke, editor of the Trans
cript at this place, has an ambition
to attend the national republican
convention at Philadelphia. "I do
not kuow tbat I can secure a dele-
gateship but in any vent, I think I
will attend" said lie. C. L. Botsford
and J. O. Maguire are mentioned iu
connection with the "big six" who
will go from this territory.
Andy llutchin was up from
Lexington Saturday. Mr. llutchin
was the populist nominee for prose-
cuting attorney two years ago and
his friends are talking of him for it-
nomination, which causes certain
populist leaders to experience rest-
less nights. Mr. llutchin says he
is uot a candidate for anything but
assures his friends and serves notice
on his enemies that if anything is
oast within his reach he will accept j
it. Iu short, if the prosecuting at-1
torney's office "seeks the man" iij
will not be compelled to take out a |
search warrant to find him.
