The People Want Information
Epedal to the Gazette
Washington Oct 3 The Democratic cam-
paign committee is distribnting political litera-
ture The demand for pubtic documents is
simply astonishing The people are hnngrv for
Information and statisitcal proofs of Hepub
lican extravagance and maladministra
tion Interest in the tariff question
is of course paramount From all
sections of the country come numerous requests
for literature on silver the election bill and
land questions Besides the campaign commit-
tee the tariff league is sending out an immense
amount of literature The Democratic managers
say they have no money and are conducting
pureljr an educational campaign
Advices from Georgia Btate Mr Crisp
may be sent to the senate as-
a dark horse owing to the Farmers Alliance
fusion While Crisp is not an Alliance man ho
is not objectionable to their organization
Should he go to the senate it would deprive the
house Democrats of a prominent leader and
leave the speakership for some other man
Crisp is looked upon as a probable winner in the
contest
THE CENSUS
The district of the census is no longer confined
to any one section or party It has become gen-
eral and the admission is made on all
hands that Mr Porter has not endeavored
to prostitute to census to partisan Durposes
as it is alleged he did in New York He sacri-
ficed accuracy to his desire to make a record for
himself as a rapid census taker

Over One Hundred Citizens Go From
Oklahoma City to Unthrie Pre-
pared 1or Auytliinr
The Choctaw Council Ready to Sell the Leased
District to Uncle Sam Coal Land
Leases to Be Looked Into
OKL HOMACPITL QUESTION
Special to the Gazette
Guthrie O T Oct 3 The capital question
is as far from settlement as it wa > at the begin-
ning ot the session of the legislature with a-
new and formidable opponent m the field
Kingfisher taking advantage of yesterdays
break by both Guthrie and Oklahoma litv has
announced boldly her intention of capturing tho
prize Both of the foimer cities rtalize their
mistake and it is generally understood Okla-
homa City has abandoned the tight and ill
throw her support to Kingfisher as against
Guthrie
The riot of yesterday has quieted but its
effects are plainly visible Armed men by tho
score from Oklahoma City hao thronged tho
streets today in anticipation of a renewal ot
the trouble
Speaker Daniels is confined to his room from
nervous prostration brought on by tho excite-
ment and personal encounter with an enraged
citizen in which he was considerably worsted
He sent a communication to the house this eve-
ning stating that he signed the bill yesterday
under a misapprehension aud asking pardou
for his action A resolution was at once Intro-
duced exonerating him and requesting the cleric
of the council to return the bill to the house
The resolution was strongly opposed but finally
passed by a bare majority
During the discussion excitement ran high
and another riot seemed imminent but the
house was cleared aud order restored Perry
tho member who on yesterday was acensed of
stealing the bill from the clerks desk and who
came so near being mobbed did not show ur
until this morning and then ho did not appear
on the street except with a heavily armed es-
cort It is thought that bettor judgment has
now prevailed aud that no further troublu will
ensue Onethingis sure if it docs there will
be bloodshed
SUBJECTS TO COM2 nEFORH TUB CHOCTAW COUN
CII
Special to the Gazette
Paris Tex Oct 3 Wilson N Jones gov-
ernor of the Choctaw Nation passed through
the city today enroute to Tuskaboma the
Choctaw capital where the council meets Mon-
day There has been some talk of a contest by
Smaliwood the defeated candidate and as tho
first work ot the council will be canvassing thu
returns and counting tho votes Col Jones is
preparing to meet nnv attempt at ousting him
The most important business of the council
will be the disposition of the leasud district now
occupied by the Comanche Wichita and Kiowa
tribes The government offer of tjf0J00O will
be accepted the Cboctaws arguing that as tho
government leased it in for ninetyiiiiie
years and paid a cash rental for tho term uf
60000 which is all gone and as it is very apt
there will be no Choctaw nation sixtyfive years
from now when tho lease expires they had bet-
ter extinguish thcirtitlcfor the sum in hand of-
fered
The council will also tackle the Choctaw coal
and railway company to the Iatters injury
This company has been taking ninety year
leases ot all the coal lands in tho nation from
individuals and is now building a line of road
through the center of the coal district It is
backed by and is said to be a branch ot the Le
high coal and railway company of Pcnsylvania
They became aiacmed for I heir
leases and attempted to secure the passage of
an act by congress validating tbem Tho
scheme is a grand one and would make them
masters of thu finest coal fields in the South-
west The Indian laws prohibit such individual
leases or for such terms These will be looked
into by the council and probably some vigorous
action vill take place The Indians say as this
country in ten years will be open to settlement
and bo a state to allow such a monopoly to taka
root would be outrageous
OKLAHOMA CITY EXCITED

Oklahoma City I T Oct 3 The greatest
excitemen prevails in this city over the dast-
ardly attempt yesterday in Guthrie to mob Rep-
resentative Perry of this county 0er 100 well
armed and determined citizens went to Guthrie
today to see that fair play was bad The cap
ital bill was not called up and comparativa
quiet reigns there The mob there yesterday
numbered 300 strong and Perry was obliged to
flee for his life The mob claim they thought
Perry was tiying to steal the bill No action
was taken by the governor the captain com-
manding the troops there nor the United States
marshal to bring the members at th mob to
justice The governor is supposed to be a man
of nerve but thus far the city where he con-
trols the legislature and the territorial offices
are the prey ot a brutal mob without a dissent-
ing effort on his part Representatives of tha
legislature were bunted like fugitives on tho
streets of Guthrie yesterday and the whole
Territory is terribly excited over it The pass-
age ot the bill removing tho capital to this city
was the cause of it all
