taken ii i ou tho subjett ol allol-
hicnt." Upon this Hiibjecl hum;s the
weal or woe of tho Cherokee people.
Us inipoi tauct) cannot bo over
e.-timateil ; in it is wrapped up the
future happiness and prosperity of
our people 1 liero is no disguising
this fact. Then let us lay aside
our piejiidices our passions and
examine our laws upon this sub-
ject and see if we cannot demon-
strate that they have been tho
cause of the monopoly of our public
domain.
They were enacted twenty-five
or thirty years ago when well ml a
public domain of between 1'2(KK)-
000 and 15000000 acres of land.
There was no thought of monopoly
then mid hence they put no limit
upon our greed or covetoiiMiess.
Any citizen could go on tho public
domain ami fence up as much as lie
saw proper and still hold a quarter
on the outside of his premises. At
the lime of its enactment it was a
armless law. Our country was
then sparsely Mettled by a popula-
tion that was small and neither
greedy nor land-hungry. Litue
attention was paid to agriculture or
stock-raisini;. There was no de
mand for laud for these purposes.
Our broad and beautiful prairies
waved in luxuriance that perfumed
the "desert air" that were neither
cut mown grazed on nor utilized
in any way except to furnish fuel
for the flames. There was no
thought of sectionizing our country
then ; it was to remain common
property as long as gra is grew and
water ran. 15ut this condition of
things has longsince. ceased to exist.
Our public domain has been largely
reduced in area while large acces
sions have been made from time to
time to our population that were of
a more enterprising grasping turn
of mind. Thev saw the defects in
heard of before ? We think not.
Let ns recapitulate the wrongs
that we have siillereil at tho bauds
of our legislator and nee it they
are worthy of our continued sup
port They have robbed us of our
public laud with all that is under
ii over 1 1 or in ii; imy nave
shipped our forests of their most
valuable timber nil for naught;
they nave robbed you of your birth
right and sold you out for a mess
of pottage ; lliey have bankrupted
tho nation plundered our public
treasury and h.stened an interest
bearing debt upon uh of not less
than one hundred ami fifty thous
and dollars according to the best
sources ot information.
With these facts before us let us
clean out the Augean FlahlcA and
sweep from place ami power those
who have ruled us only to rob us.
and adopt a just and fair system of
allotment that will ''ive to each
individual his just and fair share
of the public domain.

Editor Chieftain. : I have ref
erence to the party whose letter
written at Tahlemiah and dated
May 211th was published in the
Sentinel ami copied in tho Vinita
World of the ;t0th. The writer
like all oflice-holders gives his
reasons in a rambling sort of away.
which are fame in the extreme
why allotment should be deferred
etc. To my way of thinking it has
been deferred too long already
am) my opinions will be indorsed
by most all intelligent thinking
people ol tho nation and in order
to illustrate I will copy from Tiik
Cim-FiAis of May 2Sth : "There
are about 48SSIKM) acres of laml
in the Cherokee nation proper
leaving out the strip ami 2"00
citizens. Out of this must come
the rivers swamps lakes and water
courses of all kinds roads worth-
less lulls and poor laud that have
no value whatever which would
not be much less than one-half the
entire area. This would leave
N71 2 acres for each individual. The
chief proposes to allow all citizens
two farms of (ill) acres each making
1280 acres." Admitting this state-
ment to be in a tleeree incorrect.
it is near enough to prove the
necessity of allotting at once and
not deferring any longer.
Hut the writer is in a great
quandary how to adjust matters
lie is evidently afraid that the
adopted citizens will come in for a
share althouh he admits they
have all the rights of native Chero.
kees according to treaties. He
ulso admits they have been cheated
of those rights idiil ho thinks
when a final trial comes judgment
will be rendered in their favor.

The Alliance convention held at
Claremore on Monday Juno loth
organized by electing M. Ilauiel
permanent chairman and 11. K.
Adair secretary. The roll showed
thai there were eight unions rep
resented !v tlulycredited delegates:
the number of dulegates present
.'H representing a membership in
tho order of 2o0. Tho coiiv.rwiinn
was culled to order by the chair
man and immediately went to
work. A committee was appointed
on a platform which was presented
to the convention in the afternoon
rend section by section ami adopt-
I eil as their principles. It embraced
about all tho former declaration ot
principles adopted at Ihe quarterly
meeting in April l.S'.ll with the
aditiona! sections:
10 And we also demand of our
council measures of such a charac-
ter as will justly aud legally settle
the citizenship question in the
Cherokee nation especially of
those claimants' who were here
prior to ISSii.
11 That we tlttinand that next
council pass such laws as will make
it impossible and impractical to
monopolize the public domain and
estop th" universal leasing of all
our lauds east and west of '.In".
12. Ami that we further demand
of the next council such legislation
as will abolish the wholesale brib-
ery and debauchery of our elec-
tions ami thereby make it possible
lor honest and pure men to obtain
ollice.
l'. Lastly and in conclusion in
view of the enormous extravagance
i and corruption of the present ad
ministration ami the enactment ot
class legislation by our council and
senate approved by our chief we
see no security in peipctuating our
present form of government exeqt
by allotting our lands in severalty
and retaining our present tribal or-
ganization. Tberelore We pledge
ourselves to siippoit no candidates
who will not pltilge themselves to
carry out these tb-iuands.
After adoption of the foregoirg
platform the loJIowing ticket was

L'u. Tki.ioi'Honk : In your notice
of the committee call for an Alli-
ance nominating convention at
Claremore you say : " This is the
first and only district Cooweeseoo-
wee) so far where Ihe Alliance
have ordered such convention."
You might have added with the
same truthfulness that it was the
first call of the kind in the history
of the ortler contrary to the con-
stitution contrary to the adopted
policy of the ortler ami a violation
of a sacred promise given to every
candidate initiated into the order.
