That in law this army ot elotks has, anil did oxcrclan, the authori ty in appointing all tlio judgosnnd clerks of election at every precinct in the nation, at tlio last election? And do you know that somo of the disappointed candidates of the Na tional parly arc yelling fraud at tho polls, and want to throw out of tho election tho wholo voto at certain precincts, hecauso, as al leged, tho clerks and judges so appointed, neglected or failed in tentionally to do their duty ? It may be thought by somo that in the appointment of judges and clerks of election thcro is no ad vantage, especially if they aro se lected as directed by law, but thoro is, and that advantago is in the character of tho judges and clorks themselves, who can bo selected to the advantago of ono party and to tho disadvantage of tho other. YELLED THIEF FIRST. If tho National party has any advantago in yelling "thief," be cause they wcro beaten for chief in the late election, it can bo for no other roason than tho yell itself. To yoll "thief" first is too old a dodge for its purpose not to bo un derstood. Tho complaint that tho Downing party elected their chief by fraudulent moans, though first . ruado by somo of tho leaders of the National party, cannot cover up, nor draw attention from tho dirt tlioy did themselves in tho elec tion. Mayes' majority is not largo, whon compared, with tho majori ties polled for tho winning candi dates for chief in sovcral past elec tions, but it is a majority gained undor circumstances thatnovcr be foro characterized an election among the Cherokco people. Cir cumstances brought about by for eight, interference und tho intro duction of early California manage ment of political campaigns, that resulted in troublo and vigilant committees. Liko Indian claims before congress, of which attorneys carry off tho lion's share, has been tho interest of cattlemen in the late election. To get control of tho Mrip lands at oncifth of their valuo, with an outlay only of a few i Upends to a few citizens who are received into the ring. Then, other interests aro in prospect, tho mag nitudo oi which, connsctcd with tho lease of the strip lands, that in tho opinion of tho parties inter ested, justified the kind of efforts put forth to secure a continuance in power of the National party, and tho outlay of largo sums of monoy to buy dishonest voters. This is certainly the alarming state of af fairs which is endangering tho peace and the general prosperity of the Cherokee people Tho pos sibility of enormous gains to bo realized, if adroitly managed, from tho common property tcnuro of lands and of tho natural wealth that is in them, loosely cared for and looBely protected, and without appreciation by tho people in gen eral, is glittering and gorgeous enough to excito tho speculative spirit of foreign enterpriso and to creato co-operativo rings in our own country. In such things as this tho party in power has great advantages, and the allegation is not without foundation that the ex traordinary and unusual moans to carry the late electi m in favor of tho National party had their ori gin in such considerations. That liinety-nino out of overy hundred of our people aro unwillingly sub servient to the purposes of tho unit may bo sot down as a fact, who aro honest, confiding and devoid of evil intention. There foro only those of cither party, who control public opinion for personal gains and dishonest pur poses, are to bo blamed. Thcro aro honest and well meaning men in both parties, and there aro some whose records provo them entirely enn otherwise Only in achango of administration oan better times and ainorohon ost management of affairs bo expected, or un ontire riddance of outsido interference and rings, that havo taken root in tho pres ent administration bo eradicated. PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITI ZENSHIP COMMISSION. For unadultoratod fraud perpe trated upon tho nation, tho Flippin caso stands at the head. They nro not alone in tho matter, because thoy could not havo accomplished what thoy did, under tho circum stances, without connlvanco some where. Tho case was decided ndvcrsoly to the parties last week. TJcy flipped in and havo been flipped out. It is said thai of the family connection thcro aro about tli ree hundred who aro made un happy. Applicant Gooing failed (o es Get prices on tablish his claim. A family of Foreman have brcn admitted. ClonicntV. McNalr, who wont to California in an early day, to gethor with liia faujilyjoi fivo chil dren and a lot of grand children, was readmitted. As roinoinbcred Mr. MoNair went to California in 181!), where ho has lived over sinco. Ho was then in tho primo ol his manhood, and now in old ago, incited by his affections and association of .long ago, ho wishes to rolurn to his people. Clnimant, Louis I). Hudson , ot Georgia, with his family, was ad mitted. Mr. Hudson is of tho same family of lludsons who set tled at Realties Prairie at an early day. Tho mills ol tho commission, liko thoso of tho gods, may bo grinding slow, but exceedingly fine. If a claimant gets through tho upper and nether stones, ho Is certainly a Chorokoo and should bo rcfcogniJcd as a citizen. i AMONG THE ItOOKIES. A Rofroahln? Dosorlptton of a Do- Hghtful Summer Rooort. ItiAno Srittios, Colo , Angatt Kith, 18". 'Itmay be gratifying to the read ers of tho Chieftain to know that cool breezes luvo not left this mun dane sphoro although thoy may have seemed recreant to tho long ings and tho pantings of thoso who reside in tho Indian Territory. When wo reached Deliver, Colora do,on the 22nd of July, it seemed to us almost like boing in a now world, so cool and fresh tho breez es comparod with a lower altitude. Denver is situated about CCOO feet abovo tho level of the sea. It is one of tho beautiful cities of the continent. Here is lifo and activity. It is probably equalled for busi ness by no city between Kansas City and San Francisco. Tho pres ent population is 75,000 and rapid ly increasing. It is supported by tho immense mining interests from tho mountains west and from an agricultural district, rich by na ture and aided by irrigation. from uio city we couiu look upon tho snow-cappod summits of the Rockies seemingly but a short dis tance, but really over fifty miles away. After considerable deliberation we decided to make Idaho Springs our objective point for a few weeks, and on tho 2Gth, left the busy prai rie city for a still higher and purer atmosphere. At Golden, sixteen mile? from Denver, wo entered the mountains. Up tho valley of tho tortuous stream, through narrow canoiiB, gorges and gulches, under over hanging rocks towering hun dreds of feet abovo us, sometimes around curves so sharp that our iron horse, puffing and panting with his heavy load is almost op posito our coach, around and up ward we climb until after a ride of twonty-two miles from Golden wo ror. 1 "A Idaho Springs, at an nftitudo of 2,000 feet above Golden, 7,800 feet above the level of tho sea. Hero aro the celebrated hot and cold soda springs, a popular sum mer resort for excursionists. Ev ery train to 'and from this point was crowded. All along tho Bides of the mountains, from the baso to tho summits, can bo been tho open ings of mines of gold and silver. Largo quantities of lead aro also taken from tho mines but bo intent aro tho miners on securing the gold and silver tint this b.ner metal is ignored. Chicago creek and lakc3 aro famous for trout fishing. One's first experience would seem to bo that thcro wcro moro fishormen than fish, but if by porsoverance ho loams tho habits of tho finny inhabitants of theso clear, sparkling wators and tho skill of throwing and manrtg ing his fly ho finds that their name is legion. Your correspondent succeeded in transferring one hun dred and ono from their watery clement to the iron skillet. Tho scenery in tho vicinity of Chicago lakeB and Mt. Evans is surpassed by none ever behold by tho writor. Hero rocks aro piled on rocks, some in wild confusion, somo laid in symmetrica! order as if by tho hands of art. On Mt. Evans our party had a gamo of snowball from the ovorlnsting huow that coverd its siden. At an altitude of about 13,000 feet wo found a beautiful lako of clear, pure water covering somo twenty-fivoor thirty acros of burface. From tho iWity hoigits which wo reached we could dis tinctly Beo Long's Peak, Grey's Peak and Piko'H Poak, each about tho Eamo hoight as Mt. Evans. Mountains beyond mountains roso in silent grandeur, many of thorn covered with perpetual ' enow. Away off in tho distant horizon tho plains of Kansas seemed to touch the bluo sky, but just where wo could not tell. Near tho top of tho mountain wo stirred a mountain lion from his lair, but as wo had no moro formidable wcanon than a thirty-two calibre rifle we thought nest not to provoke his maioslv to tuko ono of us for his suppor. Wo closed tho days experience of tho mountains by catching thirty one fine speckled trout from Chi cago lako, Loaving tho reader at our tont by tlio laUo wo mil you good night. D. Rogers. White Lead and FROM EUREKA SPRINGS. Whftt a Visitor Saya of That Now Frtmowj Roaort. Kiiuka firnfxn,) , , Auxutt, nth, in; ( Dlftll ClIIEttAISS I sliAll not attempt an article as ono familiar with journalism but simply write n letter to friends and readers of tho CitiKtTAKt, ot what I havo seen and heard while in tho liltlo "Saratoga" of Arkansas. Wo reached tho Mount City on Thurs day, Auguat -1th, "Emancipation day," and it did seem as wo drovo up from tho depot and inhaled tho puro mountain air that wo wcro In a measure emancipated from tho heat and especially tho dust. Tho first thing that impresses ono is the pictuicsciuo beauty of tho surrounding scenory. Tho do pot i9 a milo from town, but thcro Is no end to tho cao busses, car riages, etc., eager to convey you to any part of tho city. We stopped at tho American Ilouso ou Spring street, until wo could secure ac commodations moro suitable to our purio, which was not so oasi Jy accomplished as first anticipot cd. A strangor finds it difficult to secure lodgings at onco agrecablo to tasto and means. Tho hotels and boarding houses aro all crowd ed and each ono from whom you seek information advises you dillor cntly until you aro thankful to stop any whore and at any prico. Board varies from $15 to S35 por week, at tho "Crescent" and from So to $10 at tho other hotols. Tho town is situated among tho Ozark mountains, and consists chiefly of hotels, boarding housos, laundries, groceries, etc., though you find somo very neat and pret ty dwellings on Spring street, and upon tho mountain. Tho principal building in the place is tho Cres cent hotel, a fivo story stone build ing situated upon tho most elevat ed portion of tho city, from tho oh soryatory of which 'you can soo Pea Ridgo baltlo field, fifteen miles distant. The structure is built en tirely of material obtained in Eu reka and has ono hundred rooms and at present, about ono hundred and fifty guests. Tho rooms arc largo and elegantly furnished, tho parlors and halls particularly beautiful. Bymconsofan eleva tor ono can go over the cntiro build ing with little or no fatigue. Tho grounds, walks, verandas, croquot grounds, etc., aro all ono could wish. Thcro are two good car riage roads up tho sides of the moun tain to the hotel, and a flight of steps, two hundred and sixty in number, for pedestrians. Theso aro divided into sections with scats for resting, and never were seats bo welcomo to thoso who first attempt climbing them. I speak from experience. It is Al most surprising to sco ho much beauty and luxury in a spot which latoly presented a wild and rugged appearance. There is moro of Eureka than ono would imagino upon first ar rival. Tlio houses seem to spring up as if by magic all about tho tops and sides of tho mountains. Quito a long drive must bo taken in order to see it all, but you will find the beauty and romance well worth tho troublo and expense. During a drive wo counted fifty- six hotels and boarding houses. This being true, it seems almost absurd to say that ono finds a difficulty in scouring board, but yon havo only to como to provo tho assertion. Thcro aro six churches in tho place : North ern Mothodist, Southern Metho dist, Baptist, Episcopal, Catholic and Prosbytorian. Tho prottiost of theso is tho Prosbytorian, a neat liltlo stone church on Hue corner of Spring Blroot. If thoro in a school house I havo not seen it. Perhaps hero tho"young idoas" aro not taught to "shoot" but como by intuition or from us ing tho magical waters of tho "Ba sin Spring." You sco few of that unfortunate clasn of beings, called teachers. Tho town is visitod oc casionally by theatrical troups, lecturers, etc. An invalids' moot ing is hold every Wodnosday af ternoon, 6aid to bo of interest by thoso who havo attondod, whon all who havo been benofited by the uso of Eureka waters meet and re late their experience Many won derful euros, duo to some magnet in influences, are brought to light. Ono meets with pcoplo hore from all parts of tho United States; principally from Toxas, Kansas and Arkansas; Chorokoesaro rather a rarity. Tho town claims a population ol fivo thousand and thcro is said to bo moro than that number of vis itors this summer. Thoy como and go each day, but it seems tho de parture of ono is followod by tho arrival of two. Tho crowd con sists chiefly of married peoplo, old maids and widows, though it seems an unprofitable pluco for tho latter class. Young gentlemen should bo highly appreciated hero, thoro being at least ton ladies to each gontleman. Thoy are almost as scarce as flowers which can on ly be had for tho monoy. They I aro sold on the street eve:'y day Mixed Paints of W. L. Sly, Chetopa, to tho amount of $5 and 80. (Tho flowers, not tho men.) Tho finan cial condition of tho town depends largely upon visitors from tho out sido world. It possesses fow re sources of its own. Tho great at traction is tho health-giving wa ter. Tho principal springs are tho Sweet, Magnetic, Mystic, Oil, Cavo, Llttlo Eureka, Crescent, Harding and Basin, besidos many others. Abovo tho Harding is a cliff of rocks called for ' romance sake "Lovers Leap," though how many lovers havo committed that mad action wo aro not told. Up on this rock and around all the principal springj, rustic soats aro placed for tho accommodation of visitors. Tho Basin Spring Is tho general favorito and tho ovening resort for ovoryono. This stream of wator comos from tho heart of tho mountain, as it woro, amid a chaos of ferns, rocks and golden rod. It is carried by a largo pipo termi nating in tho form of n T. Each evening tho crowd about tho Ba sin is not less than two or thrco hundred ; often moro. Li9t Mon day night tho Eureka and Hnrri son bands furnished music and tho croud was estimated by somo at two thousand. It is the place to study tho styles, for overy ono comos out in "their best." You seo peoplo from overy phase of lifo. A splendid opportunity for studying human nature. It is interesting to notice how the houses aro con structed. Many of them appear to stand upon stilts, and in somo cases a part of tho mountain sido forms a portion of tho house; ono building has an upper portico form ed by a largo rock. Thoro are many houses whoso front doors open upon one street and the doors and windows of the third or fourth story open upon another; all tho dining rooms aro in the basement. Tho roads are so rough that it re quires an experienced driver to guide a carriago safely. Horse back riding is tho chief amusement and ono indulged in every evening. They go out it largo parties, boiiio times as many as fifty in ono crowd. They havo some very nice riding ponies, but they lack spirit. It is littlo or no art to bo able to ride in Eureka; tho horses seemed trained and never vary their gait in going up and down hill, and seeing them ridden so much and so hard it is littlo wonder they aro spiritless. The chief points of interest around Eureka aro tho Four milo cave, Roaring River, Mirror Lako, Pivot Rock. Grand View and others. Grand View is said to bo the high est point of tho mountains. Those who visit these points return charmed with tho scenery. Tho cave, they say, is eleven hundred feet under ground and a quarter of a mile long. Thoro is a decrcaso in temperature ot sixty degrees. Insido the cavo thick dresses and hhawls aro quite comfortable A party often from our hotel visited tho cave, myself being one of tho number and fated to be the unfortu nate one, returning with a sprain ed anklo. The "Eureka onyx" is found in this cave, from which is mado at this place, very pretty brooche" watch charm?, etc., mounted in gold;' also lovoly paper weights are made of tho stono alono. On last Saturday night wo at tended one of the famous Crescent balls. The drive up tho mountain was delightfully cool and really a feast for tho eyo. Over head tho stars had blossomed out in tv ink ling beauty, and bolow us lay the principal portion of town with its lights hore and there flashing out from amid tho pinos liko so many fir? flies vying with each other in brilliancy. Somo ono of tho par ty remarked that tho Econo re minded them of St. Louis from tho bridgo, at night. To my imagi nation Eureka seemed far more picturesque Tho Crescent wa3 aglow from basement to dome. Dancing had not begun, and tho halls woro crowded with bovio of fair forms moving to and fro in gay ball-room costumes, presenting a pleasing piolure. Tho danco was conduct ed in tho large dining room. The chief manager apparent to us was a "colored gentleman" in full black suit and profuse button holo hoquot of tubo rosos (thoughtful addition.) Tho opening with tho grand inarch reminded ono of chil dren at a May day celebration, possessing no order at all. Tho programme consistod chiefly of quadrilles and lancers. Tho cos tumes 1 leave for tho more ready and exaggerating pon of tho Globo correspondent. Tho evoning was a very pleasant ono to thoso who could participate. But I must say that after reading tho description of one of theso balls and attending one, you are sure to bo disappoint ed. Having already writton rather at length for a "cripple," and not wishing to tiro anyono I'll bring this "lamo oflbrl" to a closo by wishing wo could transfer ono of these springs to Vinlta, Very truly, Maukl Wasiibourne.

UiiourtAU, C K , I T , August JTth, 1M7 Editor Indian' Chili'tun I notice in tho Chieftain of August 25th, 1887, an article alluding to tho citizenship court, where ref erence is made to two special cas es, viz : tho Prather caso and tho Flippin caso. Near tho close of tho articlo tho writer says! "Tho Flippin ex amination is boforo tho commis sion and so far is a dirty caso." Tho writer of this was an attor ney for tho Flippiii8 and before said court during tho investigation and thcro was no proof by ono witness that thcro ever was ono dollar paid by any person to tho citizenship court as biibo monoy. In answor to tho summons direct ed to Hannah Flippin and her children to appear and answer eaid summons, Hannah Flippin, John C. Flippin and Mrs. Flippin's grown daughter appeared person ally and filed their sworn answor to the honorahlo court, taken bo foro Clerk Allen Ross 'with tho seal on tho sworn statement. The sworn statoment was a3 follows : "Wo nor either of u ever paid ono dollar before wo received our Cherokco rights or since, to tho court who granted us our Chero kco rights, as bribe money. Wo nor either of us ever paid one dol lar to a witness as bribe monoy in our citizenship case while pending. Wo nor cither of us during our trial for our Cherokco rights ever authorized any person to pay ono dollar as bribo money, cither to tho court or to witnesses. Wo nor either of us have ever been called on by any person sinco our Chero kco rights were granted claiming that any money had been paid for such purpose" Then they closed by saying to the honcrablo court: "Wo aro bonafido citizens of tho Cherokco nation. You havo our sworn answers to your summons ; ivn nrn ninntwlrililn tn illti Itttvii nf tlio Chorokoo nation. Now if wo in our sworn answer have perjured ourselves, have us arrested and if you can provo us guilty then havo us punished according to tho laws of tlio Chorokoo nation." Now wo ask in reason, where is tho dirt? J. M. BnvAN', Attorney for Flippins. JIOKE OX THE SAME 8UIUECT THE FMPI'IN CASE. EniTon Chieftain : There wcro only two judges of tho citizenship commission who decided the claim of tho Flippins to Cherokco rights. They wcro Eli Spears, president of tho commission, and Andrew Young, associate. Tho other, Judgo Leo, was sick at tho time and not able to bo prcsont. Thorcforo, if any bribo monoy was used by anyono with this hon orable court it would havo been with Hon. Eli Spears andAndrow Young, the only two judges who sat upon the caso and granted the Cherokee rights to Hnnnah Flip pin and her children. Tho proof in the Flippin caso before tho pres ent commission was tried to hd heaped upon Androw Young, sometimes called Snako Puppy, proving ho was drinking, drunk and gambling. Yet there was no proof by any witness that Snako Puppy over paid ono dollar to Eli Spears or received ono dollar as bribo money from any person. But testimony introduced by the nation was: "I saw Puppy drink ing and playing cards, and my im pression was that monoy was used and I thought so, and I camo to that conclusion from what I heard." Hut no positive proof by any witness that ono dollar of bribo money wa? ever paid in tho Flippin case. As to Eli Spears' character for truth and honesty, no man in tlio Cherokco nation stood higher or fairer than Eli Spears, nor nover will, and that proof is on filo with tho caso by tho best mon in Tahlcquah district.
