1 he unterrified met here yesterday to
go through the perfunctory perform
ance of nominating a candidate for
delegate to congress, to be snowed un-
der by Dennis Flynn this fall.
There was maneuvering by the bu-
shel, resulting from the heated strife
between the pie counter gang and the
autis. Wisby, the "anti" candidate,
had a big following—in fact the bevy
of democrats ready to tramp the ever-
lastiug stuffing out of the fellows who
Lave their heads in the crib, was a
great surprise to the cute fellows.
There were 315 delegates, and some
men among them good enough looking
to gain entrance to the republican
party by being "born again."

On reassembling the El Reno band
struck up "Dixie" and wound up with
"Yankee Doodle."
C. \V. Could, of El Reno, county
democratic chairman, delivered a wel-
come address. This is the man who
said a while back, in a speech, that
Phillips, Garrison, Lincoln, Sumner et
al were the assailers and destroyers of
"constitutional free government."
His speech eschewed the rantankerous
denunciation which characterized his
late speech to the territorial demo-
cratic committee—which speech de-
feated him for the nomination as del-
egate to congress at this convention.
His speech was flowered, honeysuckled
and foliaged. saying little about dem-
ocracy. He had traveled all over the
earth, but never saw such sights as
here in Oklahoma—at a democratic
convention.
J. W. Johnson, of Oklahoma City,
the silver-tongued, responded. John
son started with Jefferson and Jackson
and came down to Tilden and Cleve-
land. He said he differed with Cleve-
land in some things, but he admired a
brave man, a man of nerve, courage
and honesty—and such was Grover
Cleveland. This utterance got a tre-
mendous ovation. Johnson made a
great speech and drove the crowd
wild.
Col. Allen, of Guthrie, was intro-
duced as a "Kentucky democrat." He
had followed the democratic tlag for
thirty-two years and was proud to fol-
low it yet. He said the democratic
was a poor party, the republican a
rich one. The democratic traitors
must have the lights trounced out of
them, lie predicted that the territo-
rial democracy would gr.isp republi-
canism by the throat and shake it uu-
til its putrid llesh drops off.
C. R. Dcddick, being called, said he
was here for ornament, not. for talk,
and that, when the business was over,
if they wanted to hear the tinkle of
his melodious voice, he would be at
their service.
R. W. Patterson, of Enid, wanted no
north, no south, no east, no west lie
wanted free iron, free coal, free silver
and free speech. The strip, he said,
would lead the democratic party of
this territory out of t* e wilderness,
lie helped nominate Cleveland and
made him out the greatest man of
modern history.
Col. Stone, of Oklahoma City, told
what the democratic party hau doue—
it has outlived every party in this
country that ever lived. He said every
foot of foreign soil achieved by this
country was fought for by democrats,
or bought by democratic administra-
tions. Every man who gained fame
among federal generals was a demo
crat when he entered the service. He
said hell was "too cool a place for the
man who arose in the republican con-
vention at Oklufcnna City and shook
the bloody shirt " Thee. lonel finally
got on to a sweeping endorsement of
Cleveland, and the antis whooped him
down.
Here a dispatch was read from At-
torney Ceneral Oalbreaith. in Indiana,
saying, "An aggressive platform and
courageous standard bearer will in-
sure victory."
Captain Woodson, agent for the
Cheyenne and Arapaho ludians, spoke
on Indian matters and recommended
that the Indians should be allowed to
lease their lands for a period of ten
years.

PERMANENT ORGANIZATION.

showed all counties, except Day, rep-
resented.
The committee reported A.J. Beal
for permanent chairman and M. L
Bixler, secretary, and II. II. 1 lagan for
sergeant at arms. Beal and Bixler arc
some of the rankest of the anti-ad-
ministration men and a tight was made
against the report without success.
E. B. Guthrie read the majority re-
port of the committee on resolutions
endorsing the national and territorial
administrations. J. K. Allen, for a
minority of six, reported recommend-
ing that the wort! national be left out.
Pat Nagle moved the previous ques
tion and the majority report was
adopted, the antis giving a feeble vote.

NIGHT SESSION.
Pandemonium Got In Itn Work and Held
The Floor.
The night session opened with a
Hood of resolutions on statehood und
other matters not covered by the regu-
lar platform. They were all referred
to a special committee of three.
Here J. H. Macke}'. of Pond Creek,
walked down the aisle with a resolu-
tion condemning the Rock Island for
its outrageous treatment of Enid and
Pond Creek. There were points of or-
der and pandemonium, but amid all
the objections stood the old "wall
hoss" until he carried his point, read
his resolution and it was passed.
A single statehood resolution was
also passed.

RESOLUTIONS MAJORITY.
Some Itare lm-oii lNtemie Wlileli You Will

1. We, the democrats of Oklahoma.
do now pledge auew our loyalty and
allegiance to the democratic party and
to the principles as enunciated iu tVe
Chicago platform of 1892.
2. We believe that all lands in the
Cherokee strip and other additions to
Oklahoma should be free to honest
settlers, and that the republican laws
deinauding pay therefor should be re-
jected.
3. We heartily approve the Wilson
bill as passed by the national house of
representatives as the best expression
of tariff reform that can be secured at
the present time, and we heartily en-
dorse the honest and patriotic position
of (Irover Cleveland in endeavoring to
secure its passage.
4. We favor the free and unlimited
coinage of American silver at a ratio
of 10 to 1.
ft. We favor the income tax law
now sought to be enarted by the dem-
ocrats of congress and believe that
the income of the rich should be taxed
rather than the necessities of the poor.
0. We sympathize with the labor
organizations of the country iu all
their just demands, when made in a
peaceable and lawful mauner
y. We believe that the members of j rauch to do wii" h>8 triuinpli
the United States senate should be se-
lected by the direct vote of the people
and thai their term of office should not
exceed four years.
8. We heartily endorse our present

ministrations and challenge a eompar-
