For Delegate to Congress:
BILL CROSS. .
If the democratic party does not
do another thing, it is going out of
the business of permitting traitors to
the organization to come bac'j in or
try to remain in it as suits their
own convenience. The democratic
party is going to assume the respon-
sibility of assuming who are demo-
crats.—Oklahoman.
The morning Democrat remarks
very tenderly that the proceedings
brought by the authorities to force
the probate judge to give up a por-
tion of the money he has ektorted
from the people “cannot be con-
strued as a reflection upon Judge
Brown." Ye gods, what would it re-
quire to constitute a reflection upon a
republican official in the opinion of
that puerile democratic sheet that
subsists on the crumbs that fall from
the table of the probate judge in the
way of townsite publications?- I>aw-
ton Enterprise.
The Republican mud mill grinds
slow but it grinds exceedingly regu-
lar and the product thereof is slime.
Bill Cross was spreading the fame of
Oklahoma, praising her resources,
and assisting in their developments
years ago when those patriots, (?)
who are so busily engaged in their
Kansas City talk, was trying to de-
fame the fair names of Callahan,
Keaton and Neff. All the talk about
Bill Cross not being a c'tizen of Okla-
homa is the rottenest kind of a cam-
paign lie, created in the slimiest
corner of Frank Greer’s mud mill and
reiterated by every two-by-four plug*
ger with mouth enough to blow Ga-
briel’s trumpet and with brains
enough to tan a mosquito’s hide. It
simply serves to show the desperate
straits to which the once great
“Party of Principles” is reduced.
This kind of a campaign will not win.
It disgusts the decent Republican
and nerves the Democrats and Popu*
lists to greater action. Each suc-

Horace 8peed, United States at-
torney for Oklahoma, will be com-
pelled to answer the charge of em-
bezzlement in the sum of $8,789,
taxes collected in the Osage reserva-
tion, which is attached to Pawnee
county for judicial purposes. The
grand jury alleges that Speed secured
this contract by means of a conspira-
cy to defraud the county. Speed was
district attorney under President
Harrison. His position is worth
$o,090 a vearand is by far the most
desirable federal office in Oklahoma.
He was recommended by the regular
string of grafters: D. T. Flynn, C. H.
Thompson, Wm. Jenkins and G. C.

short in Pawnee county in fees to the
amount of $2,463; and T. M. Broad-

$2,234. All prominent republicans.

in sheep’s wool and preach the gos-

The territorial and county cam-
paign is coming on, and every dem-
ocrat should take and support his
local party organ. The Dispatch is
the only democratic paper in W’ood-
ward, Beaver and Day counties, and
has been recognized and sustained by
purely personal patronage, as most of
the printers cannot withstand the
blarney, blandishments and soft,
soapy, sophistries. This exhibits the
fact that the plain, common people
have faith and confidence in the ul-
timate success of democratic princi-
ples, and that this paper has been a
beacon-light to the Democracy of
Western Oklahoma, and that it will
be found next November with the
people when the Republican bird
