aggravated the affair. The
house burned belonged to Mr
Peckham of the Bes Line Con-
struction Co. There is a rumor
that the militia will be called ou
to protert the blacks.
The editor of this paper never
went back on a democratic ticket
and he is now too old to take
new departure. He has support-
ed men who went into office, term
after term, who took the bread
out of the mouths of his wife and
children after being elected. He
will not be forced into a false
position. He will be more loyal
to the ticket than the fellow who
has, by the efforts of this paper,
drawn a big salary. The ticket
cau be seen in these columns
This paper will give more tnan a
mere perfunctory support to it
No newspaper controlled by tkis
writer ever formed a combination
or trade with the eneiny or fore-
gathered with the heifers of the
heathen.
The Democrat will perform
its duty and put up the ticket.
It will support the tickel just as
the individuals on the ticket sup
port it. It is purely a business
matter with a candidate as to
getting the office with the con-
sequent salary and emoluments.
The same is true with a news-
paper. Neither are here for fun
nor sentiment aloae.
Populist Central Committee
Notice is hereby given that a
meeting of County Populist Cen-
tral Committee will be held at
the office of the Superintendent
of Public Instruction in the City
of Enid, on Thursday, August
7th, 1902, at one o'clock p. m.,
for the purpose of organization
and such other business as may
come before it. All members are
requested to be present.

Announcements-
REFRBSr.NTATlVE,
We are authorized to announce Charles
Bordekm as a caudidado for I{i'|iresontativo
subject to the decision of the Democratic Con
vention to bo held in the 20th legislative dis.
trict.
Lawrenck O'Bhate, for a man
who had made no canvass, did
mighty well. His neighbors
showed their esteem by giving
him h neat complimentary vote.
Mr. Harnett' was before the con-
vention two years ago and was
better known.
One of the most interesting
races was that lor county clerk.
Mr. Thomas should feel gratified
to have defeated two such good
men as Mr. Shobe and Mr. Hol-
cemb,
The enthusiasm over the nom-
ination of Chas. L. Moore pre-
sages his election by a large ma-
jority. There is no question of
his capability and uprightness.
The editor of this paper has
no apologies to make for
whatever appeared in the account
of the recent Democratic County
Convention. Our reporter noted
features. He seems to have made
a careful analysis of feeling
there. When the editor gave
careful consideration to the re-
port. which was a truthful one,
lie came to a decision. He now
considers what has taken place
in the past, and will leave it to
the public to decide whether any
man in that Convention gained
his nomination unfairly. As a
close observer he has his own
opinion and lie has the facts in
hand and will leave it to the Re-
publican party to state charges
against our candidates. The
editor will not defend a single
charge of fraud if the same is
true. Wc shall, oil the contrary,
condemn it.
Trouble of long standing hai
existed at Blackwell between the I
Fusion and some other things
have gone to pieces in Garfield
county. Political parties are rent
asunder and it is anybody's fight.
There is neither politics nor
principle in it It is a struggle
for spoils and position.
A Number of gentlemen were
reported to have said that if
Porter was nominated they would
not go on the ticket with linn. If
they do not intend to accept
please let this paper know at
once.
Sam Campbell, or any other
man can continue to make pretty
and manly speeches every two
years, but he can't be sheriff un-
less conditions chatig;.
The ouly way to make money
out of a newspaper in Oklahoma
is to become a railroad or tele-
phone magnate or a candidate for
sheriff and then sell out to the
other side.
Fifty years ago Japan was a hea-
then country without trade or com-
merce. Her people were unacquainted
with the outside world, and utterly
ignorant of Christian civilization.
Without the firing of a shot or the
shedding of a drop of blood, Japan
was rescued from her isolatiou, her
people made acquainted with the
world at large and helped on the road
to liberty. No nation presumed to
teach the Japanese self-government.
No nation assumed to control them
under the specious plea of benefitting
thein. N«j nation declared its purpose
to govern the Japanese and grant
thorn as much freedom as their condi-
tion warranted and the interests s>f
the controlling nation dictated. On
the contrary, Japan was left to work
out her own salvation, and although
an oriental island and occupying
vantage point for oriental commence,
no nation seized the island. During
the fifty years since Commodore Perry
opened the ports of Japan and made a
treaty with the Jananese, the people
of Japan have made progress unpar-
alellcd in the history of the world.
Today Japan is a world power. Her
people are among the intelligent and
progressive people of the earth. Au
tocratic anj arbitrary power is fa
ding away before intelligence, and
trade and commerce flourish with-
out the bullet and the bayonet.—The
Commoner.
The republican party ignores
i example like the above and
proposes to fix fat places in the
Philippines for its Eatraps. It
works through the rotten units
in local affairs and corrupts men
who would sacrifice principle for
place and sell out democrats on
the ticket, by promising to vote
for and support them. We have
startling example in point in
this county.
Our business relations with Terry's
Uuclc Tom's Cabin proved them to be
composed oi ladies and gentlemen. ~
Geary Gazette.
Being from Missouri, we are
frpritically Rnxious to know how
you got onto it. We have seen
an Uncle Tom's Cabin aggrega-
tion where a badly behaved burro
was au element. In fact we
have seen the diminitive jassack
put up a job on the rest of the
company that took the audience
by storm.
be brought within the descrip-
tion 'those counties of the terri-
tory from which reports have
been received from said territo-
rial superintendent. Neither ts
there any basis for determining
the share of those counties
any such apportionment in the
matter prescribed by territorial
law.
"Under the«e circumstances
the territoiial superintendent
would not be justified in includ-
ing these new counties in the ap-
portionment of tne school funds
of the territorv at this time.
Wendell Phillips once said: "Tfce
men who made the republican party
are in the grave; the men whom the
republican party made are in con-
gress." The republicans ought not to
rest satisfied until they unmake
number of those who represent the
party in the house and senate.—Bry-
an's Commoner.
Applying this locally Wendell
Phillips' quotation should be
changed so as to refer to one of
our county officers.

Ir Mr. Cromwell's reason for
supporting McGuire is because
Mose Anderson is the manager
for Cross, we can sympathize
with him.
The republicans will have to
trot out a race horse with a big
record if they beat Frank Hamil-
ton for register of deeds.
It is all right to kill the fatted calf
upon the return of tha prodigal, but
the prodigal asks too much when ha
demands a steady beef diet ;it the ex-
pense of all the live stock on the

This seems especially true
when the prodigal insists on
keeping it up three times or
more.
Counties Get None-
The three new counties will
get no part of the apportion-
ment among the counties of the
territory of the school land funds
which is to be made on the fif-
teenth of this month. This is
the decision of the assistant at-
torney general of the United
States . Judge Willis Van De
Venter, who sustains an opinion
on the same subject, handed
down some time ago by former
attorney general of Oklahoma,
Judge J. C. Strang.

interest of the negroes, advised
the blacks to arm and go to
Blackwell. The whites armed
also. A negro family "took the

mob of whites burned the house
atid expelled them. A bus man-
ager had discharged the whites
and, being a strong republican,
put negroes in their places. This
