The democrats in this territory,
the few there is of them, are mak-
ing a very loud noise at the paesent
time. They are hugging to their
bosom the delusion that the Popu-
list party in the territory is dead
and that the democratic party has
swallowed the corpse. In 1894 the I
Democratic party polled 12,000 the |
Populists party 17,000 and the Re- i
publican party 19,000 votes and j
mind you a democratic president
was holding the reins of goverment |
at Washington and has appointees j
drawing the salaries in the territory. 1
Under these favorable conditions |
the democrats succeeded in elect-
ing 4 members of the territorial leg-
islature the Populist 12 and the Re- j
publicans 23. Since 1894 the !
Democratic party in the nation has
suffered defeat and in each succeed-
ing election the defeat growing
more pronounced. Fusion has
scattered the reform forces but in no
instance has it served to extermi-
nate them but on the contrary has
had the effect of multiplying their
number and when they assemble
again at Louisville as we believe
they are destined to do under the
Allied party movement, the Demo-
cratic party in this territory will be
so in significant in numbers that
thewhole push would not make a
David B. Hill banquet, should that
distinguished gentleman of New
York come to Oklahoma to look
after his political fences prepara-
tory to the Democratic National
Convention in 1904. By counting
the Populists in the territory the
Democratic party can make a
respectable showing in the territory
at the present time and if they
would also count the Republicans
they could improve the showing
and there is just as much sense in
counting the Republicans as in
counting the Populists in making
up footings for their showing
of Democratic strength in this
territory. The fact that every time
the Populists in this territory affili-
ated with the Democrats to defeat
the Republicans the Populists have
been dealt the hot end of the af-
filiation, does not augur well for
the Democrats when these euchered
pops come to the bat again.

would like very much to see
answered. If the Republican party
has anything to fear in the future
from the Democratic party it is
certainly not from it under its
present policy and leadership. The
, last national campaign and every
succeeding state campaign held
since, certainly reveals the fact that
the Democratic party as presently
managed, is about as good a thing
1 as the republicans should desire or
could hope for in the way of an
opposition party. If the reorganiz-
ing element of the Democratic
party should ride the Democratic
donkey, it is possible that it might
get better speed out of the critter.
It may be possible that the republi-
cans are simply lending encourage-
ment to the Democratic reorganiz-
es just for the fun of seeing the
two factions of the Democratic
party entertain them witli a fight.
It is also possible that the repub-
licans realize that a fight must be
kept up in the democratic camp to
avoid the danger of desertious to
the reform party. If sober intelli-
gent democrats would only stop
fighting and calmly take a views of
the democratic camp we believe
they would desert to the reform
party; but as long as a fight can be
engineered and kept going on in
the camp the democrats will stay
in the camp for the joy and privi-
lege of whipping or try ing to down
fhe opposing faction. Soldiers
don't usually desert the army when
a battle is going on and the same
seems to be true in regard to par-
tizans of a political party.

j great multitude, that blocked the
open space before him, he said,
| "where are your poor? In this as-

distinguished speaker replied. "No,

cate.

baneful forces now working in this
