As to Btatehood, some desire to have Oklahoma admitted at onoce; others would wait a little, hoping that Indinn Territory may yet be joined with Oklahoma, both making one great Btate, in which case, says the Govern. or, ‘it would be equal to the greatest and, in my opinion, the fluest State west of the Mississippi.” —————— GOVERNORS INSTALLED.
