A committee of five was appoint
ed on resolutions and a like com-
mittee on credentials.
A'hile the committees were get-
ting ready to report rousing speech-
es were made by Rev. Doty, Judge
Brownlee, Mr. Mitchell and Mr.
Christian.
After the report of the commit-
tees were received, Col. Bradley
placed in nomination Col. Proutyy
W. A. Beegle, E. II. Cooke; W. W
llastie, N. B. Chrisnian, A roll
of townships was called which re-
sulted, Prouty C2, Cooke 33, Chris-
man 22. 'the nomination of Col.
l'routy was made unanimous, after
which the convention adjourned.
The best of feeling prevailed,and
every delegate present declared
himself unqualifiedly for Prouty,
The following are the
resolutions v
Resolved, By the republicans o)
the Sth council district, of O. T.,
in convention assembled.
1 That the republicans of this
council district heartily endorse the
national republican platform, and
will loyally support the principles
enunciated by tlierepublican party
at the St. Louis convention.
2 That we favor rigid economy
in the management of all public af-
fairs and such legislation as will re-
duce taxation to the lowest limit
necessary to the proper conduct of
the government of this territory,
and in municipal and county man-
agement.
3 That the criminal laws of this
territory should be so amended as
to make the territory responsible
ror. the costs ot prosecution, includ-
ing witness fees in all criminal
cases, and that no bond for costs
ought to be required from a prose-
cuting witness in order to commen-
ce a criminal prusecution.
4 That our statutes relative to
the duties of county treasurer
should be so amended as to require
a county apportionment and distri-
bution of ali the funds in the hands
of county treasurers at least every
three months.
5 That it is tne duty ot our rep-
resentatives in the territorial legis-
lature to support a law for the ap-
pointment of railroad commission-
ers, and to control the management
of railroads in the territory, so far
as such management relates to rates
for freight and passenger fares, and
to prevent discrimination against
individuals,
6 That we favor die passage 01"
a law prohibiting t'.ie territorial
board of equalization from raising
the average assessed value of the
property of the people as was ar-
bitratily done in lKy4, by the dem-
ocratic territorial equalization
board.
7 That we favor the passage of
a law exempting S200 worth of per-
sonal property to the heads of fnn-
ilies trom taxation.
S That we favor the passage ot
a reasonable usury law.
9 We pledge our candidates not
to attempt to obstruct legislation
look'ng to the reduction jf their
salaries in keeping with the depress-
ed condition of the times.
10 We pledge ourselves to a
thorough revision of the fee and sal-
ary law now in force in this terri-
tory.
11 That we heartily endorse the
nomination of that gallart soldier
anil statesman, William MeKinley,
for president of the United States,

12 That we will support with all
our hearts that splendid and faith-
ful public servant, Hon. Dennis T.

W'e appreciate his loyal and grand
work, and realize that upon him
■J j and his devotion to the people of

While the Kicker was not for the
Col. it was from no dislike, but be-
cause r. e believed that Hennessey
tt.is entitled to the position, and
that our candidate, Dt. Cooke, was
the peer of any man in the county.

fl "-Blind."
Untfcrl Stat'' Capita!:
There has been great objection to
Callahan by the democrats, on ac-
count of having to swallow his pop-
ulism. Vincent at the head of the
committee was another bitter pill.
I'o allay ttiis feeling a "blind" was
lecided on. Vincent was, on the
surface, deposed and Virgil Ilobbs,
of Kingfisher, a democrat, made
chairman of the mongrel committee.
Vincent, it was understood, would
continue in fact as chairman. The
headquarters are still in Mr. Viu
cent's office and Vincent will man-
age the campaign. The fusion dem-
ocrats—Wisby, Ktaton, et al,whom
Nagle said in his letter are popu-
lists purely, having 110 democracy
left—got Vincent to submit to this
blind—to do work for which an-
other would get the honor— by
agreeing to deliver to Vincent the
entire democracy to make him
county clerk. Vincent is willing to
make any ''deal" which will make
him county clerk.
The "blind" will not work. Joe
Wisby cannot deliver the demo-
crats of 1 .ogan county to Vincent
for county clerk or anything el:,c.

will poll a large vote up this way.
Over in Logan county, in the
sixth district, the republicans have
nominated a colored man for rep
resentative, on a platform that en
dorses the action of the late mem-
bers from that county, ami de-
mands the repeal of the laws which
were passed by that body.
1). li. Leonard, who was nomi-
nated by the pops, for Councilman,
made a speech before the conven-
tion, thanked them tor the nomina-
tion and stated that, if elected, he
would cast his vote at Guthrie for
two silver Senators to represent
Oklahoma at Washington, and yet
men talk about pop candidates be-
liien of ordinary intelligence.
The Commissioner anil Repre -
sentative conventions meet next
Wednesday at Hennessey, and the
candidates then named will be win-
ners. There will be no fusion, and
the candidates can be properly
placed before the people without
the aid of petitions. The republi-
cans are law abiding people and
never attempt to evade the issue.

Pop Convention.
The populist convention for the
nomination of a candidate for Rep-
resentative met in this city on the
22nd anil nominated Tom Willis, of
Lacey township, on the second bal-
lot.
best of it in every particular.
There were half a dozen names
presented before the pop conven-
tion Tuesday for representative,and
each of them were allowed ten min-
utes in which to talk to the dele-
gates from the platform. Mr Ingle
in the course of his remarks, said
that he had been toid to buy a rope
before be went if he was the choice
of the convention so that it could
be ready for use upon his return
home if he failed to accomplish
".nything for the relief of the peo-
ple. This was too much for young
Mr. Roseboom and he immediately
withdrew his name,emphatically de-
clining to be a candidate.
The committees of the people's
party and the democratic party
held a joint meeting Tuesday and
decided to place the combination
ticket before the people as the
"Free Silver Ticket." The nomi-
nations will count for naught ir.
this instance and the candidates |
will have to go upon the ticket by i
petition. This action leaves no
people's party or democratic tick-
et in the field. The only legally
nominated ticicet before the people
is the Republican ticket.

"Gentlemen i congratulate you
on your decretion in placing my
name upon the county ticket.''
•■So soon are we gone when
we're forgotton," was the remark of
a once itiiddle-of the roa.l pop, tho
other day.
The Lacey contingent held out
for the middle'of the road until
they were appeased. They all
know how.
"Well, I have bet
from principle, but ■
be a free silverite for pic," was
way one of the p<q>s put it.
The pop resolutions reflect ser-
iously upon the democratic judge ,
and yet want the democrats to sup-
port the aforesaid pops.

mentary ticket to the Third An-,

The l.epublican County Central
Committee met Saturday and or-
ganized by the election of I' i 1
Jo.ies as Chairman. We may now
look for a fire eating campaign.

man who wanted to be nominated

The Kicker is in receipt of ' The
Callahan Squealcher" and "I'.oom-
de-ay," two campaign songs with
the compliments of the writers,
Misses Ivi in a Admire ami iiess .iob-
bcrts, of Kingfisher.
There was considerable di :-satls
taction at Lacey oyer the result of
the former pop convention, and the
nomination of Tom \% ills was a
step toward healing the breech.
There is not enough nominations to
go 'round and heel ail the breeches
made in the populist party.
Say, you populist, ain't you real
proud of yourselves? Meet in con-
vention antl vote 100 to 36 in favor
of retaining the name of "peoples
party," and then humbly submit to
being swapped around by a com
mittee for a faint prospect of a lit-
tle pie. Talk about principle! You
ought to strike the word from your
vocapulary and substitute in . its
stead "pie."
