It is also rumored that soma of the

are afraid of is not disclosed.
Chairman Babcock, of the Republi-
can congressional committee has found
time to recover his breath, and for the
seventieth time declares thst free sil-
ver ia a dca** and but led issue. The
same Babcock haa declared seventy
times seven that the Democratic party
wat dead and buried, but hlatory re-
cords the fact that he haa a mortal
dread of the corpse.
Hinck the law rcquiree that the
election returns shall be made to the
territorial secretary not later than
November 28th, some complications
are likely to grow out of Judge Bur-
well's order forbidding the county
commtscioners from proceeding fur
ther with the counting of the Okla-
homa county vote, the order being
•et for hearing December 3, five days
after the date required by law for the
returns to be made.
Thkrr is no doubt of the fact that
a recount of the ballote all over the
territory would disclose more dirty
election work than the moet persist-
ent ward heeler ever dreamed of.
Large numbers of the territorial ex-
changes contain accounts of crooked
work in many of the counties and vot-
ing precincts. Thess crooked trans
actions of somebody relate more par
tlcularly to local candldatee, and
•eems to have been from motivee to
count in men who were not elected
for local reasons.

A Klondide woman nsmed Crossup,

tea and coffee. He says the tax to

give him but little worry.
A scientist has made the discovery
that the two hemispheres of a man'i

but alternate in action. This may
account for so many men being so

The talk that Judge Strang would

Leader learns. Judge Strang is sat

Senator Hanna is insisting with
more than ordinary persistency that

and sang froid.
From the way the Republicans are
cavorting around over the territory
and holding public meetings one
would think they were not aware of
the result of the election, or, it may
be that they are like tbe fellow at the
end of a galvanic battery, they can
let go.

The Republicans of the board justifv
themsslvss for having printed Keaton's
name on the ballots more than once
by saying that It was not objected to

how this was but it is difficult to recon-

A CHIME WITHOUT ADEQUATE PUS
J HUMEST
Mrs. W. H. Felton, whose spech
caused the negro editor, Manley, to
write and publish the editorial which
Incited the people of Wilmington to
destroy his newspaper and himself to
fly the stats, speaks much thst is sober
truth sgalnst a crime that is entirely
too prevalent in portions of this coun-
try, a crime that the laws in force
have so far been inadequate to meet
and eradicate, She says, "And when
there is not enough religion in the
pulpit to organize a crusade against
this sin nor justice in the court house
to promptly punish the crime, nor
manhood enough In the nation to put
a sheltering arm around innocence
and virtue, if it requires to protect
woman's dearest virtue from ravening
human beset*, then I say lynch a
thousand a wtek if it is necesssry."
Mrs. Feltoit further said: "Since
that addreas 'fas made, the crime and
lynchings have decreased 50 per cent
In Georgia. Tne race will be des-
troyed by the whites in self defense,
unless law and order prevail in regard
to the crime of rape and the lynching
that follows."
There ia no doubt that much Mrs
Felton says is true; only she ought to
have made her remarks general and
included brutes of the character she
describes of both colors. Crimes of
this sort, whether the guilty party be
black or white, should meet with
prompt and summary punishment,
through the law. if poasible, but if not
through the law. then by the strong
hand of self defense.
Villains of this character have no
right to any portion of earth. The
earth was not made for such creatures.
Which is the moat to be dreaded in
stealth and force to gratify bia helliah
appetite borna of his brutal instincts
on some helpless woman and thereby
kill her moral life? The answer comes
back gathering volumes as it comes,
that this vampire, this blot on human
kind is Infinitely the most to be dread-
ed. You kill the serpent without ap-
pealing to the law's authority. Why,
then, should not the other and more
dangerous character be treated like-
wise?
KKA TOS'B DEFEAT WHAT
LEAD TO IT.
The election is over and what the
eader haa to say Is not to disturb
the result, or even to complain at it,
for, while we may wish that it might
have been otherwise, that fact does
not change it. It is here and we ac-
cept it. Still, we have the right to
enter our objectiona, futile as thsy
may be, to the methods which in part
secured that result and animadvert
upon them. One of these ia the fact
that the election board printed Judge
Keaton's name three times in place
of only once, as was clearly in
tended by the law. Was this done by
the board with the ulterior purpose
of throwing out enough votes, in case
it was close, to defeat Keaton? It is
said that there are nearly 1,000 voting
precincta in the territory. It is also
stated on what seems to be conclusive
evidence, that the Republican terri
torial committee instructed their
chairman of the various county com
mittses to see to it that where Keat-
on's name waa stamped more than
once no vote waa counted for him on
that ballot, but to treat it aa a mutl
lated ballot so far aa it affected him
We don't know and probably never
•ball know, the exact namber of votes
Judge Keaton lost in this way, but it
haa been asserted that the average to
each county was not far from 400 to
500. Suppose it reached the lesser fig.
ure, it is easy to see that it was enough
to have elected him with more than
2,500 votes to spare. Judge Keaton
was entitled to one vate on each bal
ot whether his name waa stamped in
one of the sfualaa or in all three of
them. Voters were instructed
stamp the square to the left of the
name they wanted to vote for, and
seeing J. R. Keaton's name In more
than one place they thought they
were complying with the law
stamping their ballou wherever it
appeared. Judge Keaton was entitled
to one vote on each of these ballote
He had nothing to do in the prepara-
tion and the printing of the ballots,
and was equally powerless to prevent
the wrong which the election boaid
had determined do him. The Lhadbe,
the very day after the election board
had determined the form of the ballot
pointed out the danger to Keaton in
printing his name more than once on
the ballot, and a*kedfor an explana-
tion. In reply It was said that it was
in compliance with the law. We de-
nied this and aid it was a suspicious
proceeding. The result showa that
the Leader waa right. If the cong-
LET ALL STASD TOGETHER
The best way to build up a town is
to stand by each and every man, and
woman, too, in the town who does
right. Whenever a man is doing well
do not try to tear him down. All
the residents of a town ought to be
partners, and not opponents. In all
likelihood the more business your op-
ponent does the more you will do
Every business man who trestB his
customers honestly, courteously and
fairly will yet his share, and the more
business he can secure by united efforts
the better it will be for all. When a
town ceases to grow it begins to die
and the more people do to kill each
other In their business or good name
the more rapidly will utter ruin come
to all. This is not the case in Guthrie,
for we have no such spirit here, hence
we ipeak freely without the fear of
stepping on any one's corns. Stand
together for the advancement of every
citizen and his business. If a man
shows ability to prosper do not pull
him back through jealousy or weigh
him down with cold indifference. Help
along every public enterprise, for by
doing this you help yourself Don'
refuse to take and read the Daily
Leader because you don't like it or
the man who runs it. It may be that
we don't like some of you either, but
that is no reason why you should not
be willing to take our money or we
yours. This is business, and it is good
sense, too. Don't you think so
IT WAH IN REALITY A VICTORY.
When all the circumstances connec-
ted with the election are taken into
consideration and an analysis of the
vote cast is made and compared with
that of 1896, it will be seen that the
elections were a great triumph for the
Democratic party, a triumph that waa
reall extraordinary in the face of the
obstacles which confronted the party,
ick and twist the returns ss you may
seems incredible almost that an sd-
ministratlon which had the undivided
pport of the whole country in prose-
cuting to a triumphant close a foreign
war should have so soon forfeited and
loat io much of that support as almost
to engulf it in overwhelming defeat,
although every nerve and every sub-
terfuge known to the practiced poli-
tician, ranging from patriotism to cu-
pidity, waa employed to avert it.
The result of the elections was «o
victory for the Republicans or tbe ad-
min istration, and viewing it from ei-
ther a state or national standpoint
there is no triumph in it for the Re-
publican party or the administration.
WA9 IT AS ES DOR MEM ES TY
It Is a difficult matter for the Repub
licans, and especially for the Repub-
lican national administration, to draw
any particular inspiration from the
returns of the election. Uusually the
complexion of the lower house of con
gress is accepted as an expression of
the people regarding the administra-
tion In power. If this rule Is correct
the loss of the Republican congress'
men in the house cannot be accepted
as an indorsement of the Republican
party or the national administration
even though the Republicans may be
able to organize that body. In 1894
the Cleveland administration was re
buked by the loss of the house to the
Democrats, and the Repub ican jour-
nals throughout the country claimed
it as a distinct victory over the policy
of the administration, and the coun
try scquiesced in the verdict, and
while it may be that the Republicans
shall be able to hold control of the
house it will be by such a slender
margin that it cannot be claimed
an indoraement of Mr. McKinley
home policy. There is no doubt of
the fact that the successful ending of
the war kept the Republican losses
from being much greater than they
were, for it is a difficult thing to dia
associate the administration in the
public mind from the result of the
war, little as it may have contributed
to that end or is entitled to special
credit.

AVSA S PUPVL1811 DKAO.
In Kaniaa it waa the Cleveland Dem-
ocrata who were the beneficiaries un-
der that adminiatmtion which aided
most in the defeat of Gov. Leedy in
the recent election. In 1892 theBe same
Democrats were loudest in their advo-
cacy of fusion that year. Many of
them who lined up with Mr. Oleveland
on tha money question held on to their
jobs under McKinley, and these, with
their hangers-on, denounced in the re-
cent campaign whatthey had so loudly
advocated as a wise and sensible course
In 1892.
It may safely be predicted that
fusion on the llnea heretofore obtain-
ing in the Sunflower state is as dead
as a laat year's herring. If Gov. Leedy
is correctly quoted, he thus oarly
sounds wisely what the situation will
be in 1900. He ia reported to have
made the declaration, -before he was
nominated the 1ast time, that there
would be no fusion in 1900, and that
thera would be but one party, and that
party would be tha Democratic party
There ia hardly a doubt that the gov-
ernor'a prediction will prove true, and
the great national contest of 1900 will
be fought out between the Republican
and the Democratic parties. Another
prominent Kansaa Populist takes the
same view, and believes that orgaal
zation for this contest should begin
right now.

VETOED THE CURVEW ORDISASCE.
Mayor Zeigenhein, of St. Louis, haa
yetoad the curfew ordinance recently
passed by the city council at the iu-
atigation of Col. Hoagland, well known
all over the country as the frland of
street waifs. In bis veto message the
mayor said :
"This bill partakes of the ohsracter
of sumptuary legislation, which has
been generally distaateful for centu-
ries, and to which, in connection with
thousanda of good citizens, I am on
principle opposed. It is a step back-
ward in the middle agaa, and is op
posed to ths spirit and policy of our
free institutions, in that it attempta to
abridge the personal liberty of the ait-
izen."
His honor might have gone further
and said that such laws may have a
tendency to lessen the reverence for

/>« DEPEW ASD EIPASSIOS.
Dr. Depew expresses the opinion
that the result of the elections is to be
interpreted as an expression of the
public indorsement of the policy of
expansion. This should i be taken
with some doubts when it is consider
ed that of twnty-seven Republican
state conventions not one specifically
favored the 6iezure of tbe Philippines
while Massachussetts demanded for
them, as well ss for Cuba, the great
est meature of liberty and self-govern
ment.
Dr. Depew is evidently putting both
feet forward for a seat in the United
States Senate. If the Doctor will re
view h!s pass book he will find that
eight conventions ignored the subject
altogether, five left it to the wisdom
of the president and twelve favored
the retention of Luzon, either in whole
or that part which contains Manila.
The truth is, "expansion" is a very
vague and elastic word, and under the
present state of international condi-
tions is subject to^condensation or ex-
pansion according to circumstances
which shall or shall not arise,and does
not entirely depend on the wishes of
the administrstion.
FREE COINAGE WILL COME
The more the gold standard people

is one of those subjects the people are
