The convention Saturday was the most
earnest and harmonious we have attend
od for a long time. Business was dis-
patched expeditiously and wrthout fric-
tion. The choice of the convention for
delegate to St. Louis if elected at Okla
horns city, will ably and creditably rep-
resent the couuty and territory. Mr.
Stout, although comparatively a strang
?r in the couuty, having lifed here only
a year, is an old time worker in the re
fornf movement having been a candidate
for cttngress several years ago on the
populist ticket in his congressional dis-
trict in Illinois. He lives on a farm
six miles southeast of Chandler.
He is a well read, intelligent and
progressive farmer, an able speaker and
a powerful addition to the party in this
county. Our county chairman Mr. Stuts
man who was also voted for by a large
number of the delegates, for delegate to
St. Louis is one of our most promising
and representative populists, and lm*
been an active worker in the cause for
many years.

was held Tuesday afternoon at the court-
house. The meeting was called to order
at three o'clock by Director F. A. Nib-
lack. The reports of the clerk aud treas-
urer were read aQd received. The treas
urer's report showed after the last half
of the taxes for the present fiscal year
were paid in there would be
a surplus of about 1400 over the expen-
sed of the year. Dr> Bumuel Ellis was
elected director aud M. D. Tenney treas
urer for the ensuing term. A lax of 2
per cent was voted« and the board auth
orized to contract for an eight months'
school, if it was found that tlie revenue
for the year would be sufficient thete-
for. The finances of the district seem
to haVe been very economically tiid ju
diciously administered the past year and

eral successful and satisfactory to the
public, and the well known ability aud
experience of the new •members of the
board are a sufficient guarantee of the

TAXPAYER'S VIEW OF IT,
t t t
Editors Publicist;
Last week, at the ear
nest request of several republicans, I
wrote an article calling attention to cer-
tain irregularities in politics of certain
persoub therein named, in about as mod-
orate language as I could use when deal-
ing with questionable lads, and request
ed its publication in the Pi'umgist, with
which request you kindly complied.
My article was signed "A Taxpayer."
The Chandler News replied to ray arti-
cle by admitting almost everything
charged and calling the "mythical tax-
payer'' "a pusillanimous sneak," and in-
timating that his statements were but
"tho braying of a Jackass." He takes
special umbrage at the fact that "Tax-
payer" does not sign his name to the ar
tide, and yet if he knows anything about
the newspaper business he is not unaware
of the fact that it is a Very common cus
tom for any person wishing to call atten-
tion to the irregularities, the crookedness,
or even the mistakes of those performing
acts by which the public weal or woe is
affected, or in which the writer may be
interested, to do so under any suitable
nom tie. plume, such as 1 taxpayer," * •citi-
zen," "subscriber," "one of the boys,'
etc., etc.
If I am not sadly mistaken, I have
seen contributions so signed in the News
ind they certainly occur right along in
the current literature of the day- If the
News wants to deny knowledge of this
custom, then I shall be inclined to agree
vviti^ a person who recently said of him
that "he ought to abandon the newspa-
per business and adopt some calling that
lie knows something about."
1 was not aware until I rehd the edito
rial reply of the News to the article sign
ed "Taxpayer" that a writer was "a pu
sillaniinous sneak," "a jackass," or ewas
ontitled to wear any of the chaste and
refined epithets coined for the occasion
by the stalwart Sunday school editor of
ihe News, simply because he used a flcti
tious name. 0
0 But he bolls over in his reply to my
article aud indulges ju more billingsgate
than is often met with even in articles of,
more than two columns like his The
only thing that puzzles me is how be
knows that "Taxpayer" is "a pusillani-
mous sneak," ami several other things to
that effect if he don't know who he is.
1 presume he assumes it on the broad
grouud that all persons who write with
Ottt giving their signatures even* if
prompted to sign fictitiously by mo1
lives of modesty or the best wishes and
strongest friendship for tho person or
policy criticised, iB entitled to wear and
own all the epithets of a ridiculous and
unmeaning characterihat the person of-
fended giay have learned in all the slums
ihat he may have infested, anil his arti
ole, however well written and however
truthful, is to be dismissed from further
consideration, and considered answered
aud dismissed by denominating it the
' braying etc."
But in this ease Mr. Gilstrap knew
that the real name of the writer was
signed to the letter as well as the ficti-
tious name of "Taxpayer" so that it
could be given upon request to any pel*
son mentioned therein who felt aggriev
od and desired to take action against tin
writer. #
There Is a iiumorous^naxim in the le
t;al profession that says when you can't
do anything else to help your case, abuse
the attorney on the other side. Has the
News scribbler been compelled to resort
to such tactics? Let us see.
in ray first letter I simply called atten-
tion to two things of a public nature that
certainly demanded some explanation
front the midnight schemers, namely:
First, that the persons named as being
connected with the nomination of what
they first called the "republican ticket'
and afterward (when they found most
of the republicans headed the other way
changed to tho name ' 'citizens' ticket)
had held their nominating convention—if
1 may be pardoned the misnomer in call
ing it a convention—filyjy, without no-
tice lo the public, and nominated them-
selves for the mostepart to fill thu offices
at a time that they thought would pre-
vent the balance of the citizens from put-
ting an opposition ticket in the field,
then adjourned and chuckled over their
smartness.
Second, that this was in keeping with
recent former acts of .Mr. Gilstrap and
Mr. Frazier, the first of whom attempted
at the congressional convention held at
Kingfisher (which in my haste and
thoughtlessness 1 called El lieno) to de
feat the will of our republican county
convention aud get himself placed on the
cougsessioual c<Anmittee as the member
from this county, after the latter, Mr.
Frazier. had attempted to get said county
convention to indorse him for committee
man, ami Had been beaten for said place
hv Mr, llogan by the somewhat signifi
cant vote of about two to oue.
An answer to these two propositions
was germane to the issues raieed aud
criticisms offered in my last letter. There
was nothing else to answer llow have
they been answered? The latter propo
gilion has been admitted fully, wholly,
^entirely, unequivocally and auy other
language to that effect that you can
think ofi and the former proposition as
well tts admitted, tho the attempt was
made to palliate, conceal aud even
deny it. •
Let us analyze tho answer published as
editorial, altli* most likely written by
D. N. Chang assisted by H. B. Eng.
The scribbler says that his convention
adjourned about 10 o'clock, but don't
sav whether it was in the forenoon or af-
ternoon. and about the same lime the
convention held at the coutthouse ad
journed' thus leading hifreaders to be
lieve that two rival conventions were be
ing held at different places iu the same
city at the same time and adjourned at
the same time, wheu the fact is that the
courthouse convention met as soon as
possible after the people had eaten their
suppers on Monday, called together by
printed handbills that had been iu circu
lation nearly all day, to knock into pi
the actions of the midnight schemers |
who met secretly the Saturday night be
fore and nominated themselves, with one
exception, to fill the offices so far as their |
limited number would reach 0
"But, says the News scribbler "there !
was no thought to cheat anybody out of |
a vote, and auy person who will think
vhir h to make an appropriate reply to
such an answer.
But this astute and urbane editor of
the republican organ makes a little fur
ther reply. He says, "It is charged that
the convention was made up of would-be
leaders of the republican party. This is
false, The citizens' convention had no
reference whatever to the republican
party," Mr. ^ews man, is that really
so? Aren't you joking? No? Then in
the name of the grand old party whost-
leader you assume to be, whose patron
age you demand, whose organ you edit,
what do you mean by admitting that you
are consorting a* late hours of the last
night on which you think a ticket c
be nominated with a convention that
pais a ticket in the field to be voted for
.that "has no reference whatever to the
republican party? especially, when at
least three-fourths of your republican
readers are sleeping the sleep of the just,
profoundly ignorant of the fact that vou.
who are supposed to be sitting on the top
round of the republican ladder, with ea-
gle eye guarding the interest of the party
are using your superior knowledge to cir
eumvent the members of your own party.
You have already answered this ques-
tion by saying in substance, in your last,
that if the grand old party was beaten
for want of knowledge of what was go-
ing on, it was no fault of yours, bqt the
result of their own iguorance and their
failure to be solid enough with tUe edit-
or of their orgau to be put "onto" the
vast secret known to less than half a do#
en himself included.
But your answer that your convention
"had no reference to the republican par-
ly" was evidently intended to curry fa-
vor with populists aud demoorats by let-
ting them see thai as a sentinel guarding
the interests of the g. o. p. you are wil-
ling "to throw the race" and do what
you can for the disintegration of your
party- But if that is what you mean
why were the entire list of populists and
democrats ignored when you were rally
iug your multitudinous forces to jfut a
ticket in the field for them to vote for?
You should have kept it constantly be-
fore your eyes that some of these demo
crats and populists may be like some of
their fellow citizens who train iu the
ranks of the g. o. p. inquisitive and evil
minded enough to humbly ask, and in
some instances insyu upon having, the
small privilege of assisting in making a
ticket that they are to vote for. Men are
very unreasonable creatures, you know,
when you get them started, especially if
they foolishly imagine that they smell a
job.
But the most puerile portion of the
News scribbler's article is the attempt to
justify holding back his paper until late
Saturday eveuing so that its readers
might not know that there was an elec-
tion proclamation printed therein. Re-
ferring to this the News Ays, "This is a
malicious falsehood, for everybody in
town knows the delay to have been due
to the tire which, on Thursday morning,
compelled us to move everything we
could move out of the office." O Lord!
Rats! What a bold bid for sympathy!
It is a fact that while the tire was raging
the News moved its cases and*a few oth
er things a few rods into the street. It is
i further fact, well known,''and that even
the News dare not deny that long before
business hours that morning, everything
was moved back and the machine was
ready to move as usual. It is also a fact
that the editor of the News was walking
aropnd the streets Thursday and Friday
after the fire, doing nothing toward get
ling his paper out instead of rustling to
make up for lost time and delay caused
by the fire as he would#bave done had he
not been holding the News back because
be wanted no one but the select half doz-
en to be thinkiug about that election
proclamation.
But suppose he had been delayed by
the tire as he says iu a melancholy voice
ihat he was; did thnt prevent him from
saying to his readers, "Here boys, there
is an election proclamation published in
this issue of the News, but I have been
delayed by the tire in going to press and
the ilsue will be too late for us to make
arrangements for a caucus after it is out;
therefore, let us arrange to meet at some
convenient place tonight amf nominate
our candidates for city offices, as it will
be too late after this week,^s I am in
formed by my legal adviser." How nice
and manly that would have been and
how very appropriate for a man who is
paid yearly to gather and disseminate
the news. If such tactics were adopted
for a year or two so that people should
feel sure hs was not possuming his candi-
dates would uot be receiving two or three
votes in a ward or precinct
After tlya sickly attempt to gain sym-
pathy for himself the Ni^ws scribbler
makes an attempt to regain prestige for
some of the boys who were so merciless
ly slaughtered at the polls that would
convulse a Chinese Joss with laughter,
by seriousty remarking in substance that
they are pretty good bands to fight tire;
that they and their followers (tilt num-
ber of followers not being named) pay
taxes; that they attend railroad meetings
and plunge recklessly into the deep re-
cesses of their pockets while men of ma
turer judgment are ashamed to be so
coltish, and that even if they are abused
and condemned in the future as in the
past they just intend to go rigflbt on do-
iug right aud aliho they may even be hu-
miliated aud persecuted by being kept on
the outside of such lucrative and desira-
ble places as city marshal police Judge
and street commissioner, they will not
give up in despair but just keep right on
being respected and trusted.
Glorious boys, Ha. ha haw' Splendid
fellows. Good enough to be "trusted"
as I hope they may be by any of the mer-
chants to whom they make application.

ception good fellows, pay some attention

of Chang's failure? Eh? Great Caesar, ' XIV 1
how "a struck hird will flutter!" Did |
ever mortal man witness such "ground
and lofty tumbling?''
Now I would like to stop as I think
the two propositions upon which this
discussion started have been as fairly' — " -
bandied as could he done in Ihc limited A larifc ami rommodlmn brick hoi
space a weekly newspaper would allow,
but the News scribbler, in order to grati-
fy his desire to escape issues in which
he sees that he cannot iHisslbly sustain
hitnself, reaches out and attempts to ring
in aide issues even if in doing so he Is
compelled to again attack his political as
sociates. Hear him .warble ' We can
see no reason in this country for men
who claim to Ik? republicans to band
themselves together in a secret, oath-
bound political organisation which holds
midnight sessions, and threaten to down
all who have the courage and manhood
to oppose«them."
It seems conceded that this thrust
was made at the A. P. A. organiKation
which it seems the News thinks has a
council lyre He says Its members are
republican, about which I presume that
no outsider can tell. If he i* a member
he knows, and if he knows them to he
republicans he hs the editor of a republi-
can organ ought to at least count ten be-
fore he speaks disparagingly of them.
But if he i« only guessing as to their or-
ganisation, the nature of their obliga-
tions and who, if any of them h vc
threatened to down hifn or any other
badly persecuted person, 1 • can assure
him that he can gain a great point by
putting bis renders into possession of the
facts and cabling upon them for protec-
tion from the unholy machinations and
midnight schemes, for we arc all oppos-
ed to such. Name the schemers. Mr.
Kng and we will all see that they don't
persecute you further.

Hut my article is growing prolix, and
yet I beg your indulgence while 1 notice
as briefly a9 possible the reply to my
proposition concerning the congression-
al committeeman.
The News admits that its editor was a
candidate at Kingfisher for territorial
committeeman altho the county conven-
tion which lettl the delegates to King ;
fisher had filled the place bv electing Mr
llogan thereto. "But' sffy* the News |
"the convention at Kingfisher did not
recognise any committeeman selected by
a presidential convention If the coun-
ty convention held in Chandler which
selected delegates to both Oklahoma City ,
and Kingfisher Was only a presidential
convention Ihiw in the name of wonder
did you get*to Kiftytlsb' i hs n deir*ati "
If it was euotlgh of a eonnres*ional con- •
vention to send delegates to Vote for a y> , (
congressman, why was it not e-npow- l) |(|

ty who was n> assist on the committee
