THE MORNING OREG02fIAS. SATURDAY, AUGUST S, 1903. 10 NOT FOR GORMAN Portland Democrats Say Will Not Do. He LACKS "HOMESPUN HONESTY' Divided in Allegiance to Clevelaaa er Bryan, Split on Campaign Is aacs, the ruterriaed Hont Is United Against the Seaator. Portland Democrats may be men of many -minds, but when Senator Gorman, of Maryland, poses as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President they have hut one opinion. This opinion Is that Gorman is a thoroughbred politician, shrewd, endowed with a knowing heart, but without the "homespun honesty," as one scion of Democracy put it, which wins a public man popular esteem and respect. in the Democratic brotherhood Is a .frightful lack of brotherly feeling. One faction makes a very wry face when Cleveland is mentioned, and then ham mere him unmercifully. The other faction wields the hammer on Bryan, less fro wardly, perhaps, but with a delicious -I-told-you-so refrain. But both apply the "knock" on Gorman without hurting each other's feelings. Indeed, it's real I lovely how they get together on this com mon ground after the heartaches of the past ceven years. "What Mark Hanna Is to the Republican party." eald R. .W. Montague, secretary ot the Democratic State Central Committee, yesterday, "Gorman is to the Democratic party. What Bryan has said of Cleveland, with all its malediction, is true more prop erly of Gorman. Gorman should be the last man to propose tariff reform as an issue for the Democratic party after the way he doctored the Wilson tariff. I don't see that his tariff will do Democrats any good or Republicans any harm. "We've had a dose of it already. Yes, I have a candidate In mind. ' He's Justice Gray. Bryan's straw candidates make me ache." The party Is very much discouraged at the poor prospect of victory next year. Of all the. gentlemen who opened their minds on the subject, not a single one saw a bright light short of five years ahead. The personally ot Roosevelt they regarded as having too strong a hold on the country- Mind you, they wouldn't all admit that the cause of Democracy would be hopeless next year; no, indeed. But "the jnterrlfled gentlemen revealed under their brave covering a streak of dismay. The troubles in Wall street are welcomed by the Democratic hosts with satisfaction. The gentlenten think they see ominous signs that Republican prosperity Is near Ing Its end. "We don't want to go into power," said several mlghtles. "We should only Inherit the penalties of Republican excesses as we did once before. No, we prefer to stay out, and to let Repub licans bear the burdens of their own Ini quity. Why Hope to Win? "Why should we desire to put a Demo cratic President in the "White House In 19(6?" asked C. E. S. Wood, "to get the leavings of the Republican regime to suffer the blame of the hard times for which they would be responsible? "I can't say tnat I have either respect or admiration for Mr. Gorman," went on Mr. Wood. "He lacks sincerity. The homespun honesty that brings a public man popular admiration and' respect is wanting In his make-up. Bryan Is sincere and Honest; I can say that much for him, though I don't share his currency views. He Is impelled by a true desire to" aid the people in their unequal competition with the power of wealth. His object is to teach, to Inculcate, whether he wins or loses. Gorman's object is to win an elec tion for himself or his clique. "Gorman exhorts Democracy to remem ber its pledge of 1SS1. Why? How did Gorman help to carry out that pledge? Was the "Wilson law an exhibition? "The fact Is that this Government is by the politicians, and not by the people The people have very little to say about it. And the politicians of the Gorman stripe. Including Hill and Cleveland, are as much tied to the trusts as are the Re publican politicians. "Will the Gorman people get the Louisiana Senators to vote for free sugar? The blatant cry in a campaign, 'Down, with the trusts!' Is Idle. Laws don't put down the trusts. They are not-enacted for that purpose. "What will be the next Democratic is sue? 1 can tell you what it should be," and he proceeded to explain the unjust In equalities of the existing social system. "But this won't be the issue." he added, "and there's no bringing It about. "The Democratic party ought not to win in the next Presidential election, and no true friend of Democracy hopes It will win." "Gorman a Smooth Article." "Pan-American" is the legend on Bryan's picture that hangs above H. B. Nicholas' desk. Neither did Mr. Nicholas have much respect for Gorman. He's a smooth article." said Mr. Nicholas, "very smooth: as slick as they make 'em. I don't like his goods. Who's my choice? Johnson, of Cleveland. Bryan? Oh, no. His nomination again would make the issue of the campaign too personal. Per sons are not the Issues in the Democratic party, but policies." "Then Bryan is out for good?" "Bryan Is one of the best types of Americans. His principles, temporarily rejected, will be ultimately accepted. This country made a supreme mistake In de monetizing silver. And the Republicans haven't adopted the gold standard. They've made use of a paper expedient. Gold and silver have been too much of an issue these 300 years to be turned down in a single election." It's quite evident to an observer that the party has grown away. In large measure, from Bryan Ideas. The lash of defeat has had a correcting Influence on the minds of many brethren who walked In the ways of the silver oracle. "The boy orator," said a Democrat, "used to be worshiped with as blind fanaticism as the idol down in the Chinese Joss-house. As time shows up Bryan's fallacies, as wheat goes up and sliver goes down. happy is the man that flndeth wisdom and the man that getteth understanding. Ask a Democrat what the next Issue is going to be. and you catch him very much at a loss. Oh. yes. indeed. It will be the tariff; of course, without any doubt. If he resisted free silver, he will stop with the tariff. If he once worshiped the penates of the Bryan household, he will hanker after several additional issues. too. There's antl-lmperialism, but it never was popular on this Coast, espe cially when it proposed to give up beyond the sea & land which was won by the blood of Oregon boys". Even Governor Chamberlain, the Idol of every Democrat, did not oppose expansion. And then there's free silver, the pesky thing. "What ever Is, Is right, and- if it was in the platforms of 1S&6 and 1SO0, It can't be wrong; so. really. It must at least be "mentioned" as an Issue. And then again there's the many scandals In the Repub lican administration. Oh, yes. indeed. there will be Issues, and plenty. "It's too bad." remarked Councilman A. F. Flegel. "that so. many men turn dishonest when they get Into politics." Mr. Flegel looked extremely proud of his political career and went on: "Men whose word is good, whose bond Is good, and whose note Is good, a ma jority of them turn rascals in politics. It's really too bad. There's Gorman, He's I an able man. but he's a politician like, , like well. Quay. I "Haven't Ghost of a. ShoiT.' j "But wc haven't the ghost of a show to elect a president next time," slamming down the top of his .desk preparatory to going to the beach, "not the ghost of a show. It's like butting up against a j stone walL j "What will be the Issue? "Well, tariff reform, principally. No. not antl-expan-slon. but antl-corrupttlon In the Govern- j ment of our dependencies. My choice for the candidate Is Olney. He's a man of ability and integrity." Loyal as ever to the precepts of Dem ocratic faith, the shibboleth of the com mon people ever on his Hps, Is Judge Thomas O'Day, as he treads the earth proud of his political pedigree. The Judge Is one of the very elect of the inner priesthood of the party, ana withal one of. the best men for cartoons that ever happened. "If Gorman were to frame a tariff bill." said the Judge, "it would be so much like a McKInley Dill that an expert couldn't detect the difference. I can't get up any enthusiasm on ah Issus of that kind. Anft It's the same with the money question. Gorman's and Cleveland's ideas on money are" the same as those of Republicans. Talk about your Aldrich Idea of basing currency on bank assets. Money made out of assets of the Portland Savings Bank would be very fine, woulon't it? "Democrats can's win at all unless the candidate secures the support of the Bryan people. And the Bryan folks won't take up with the Cleveland idea no, not at alL - "What's going to be the issue? Soon or late it will be municipal ownership of monopolies and public utilities. There's no getting around It for it's coming sure. And my candidate is W. R. Hearst." Judge Bellinger for Tariff Reform. Just the opposite type of Democrat Is C B. Bellinger. Judge of the United States District Court. Judge Bellinger was a gold man in the first two cam paigns and didn't vote the Bryan ticket. I don't know that I have anything; to say." remarkeo the Judge, when informed that he had been staked out as one of the Democrats of quality for an Interview. "The fact Is, I don't know whether I'm In the party or not." but the Judge did not deny that he was a Democrat. "You may say for me. however, that the only way Democrats could possibly win would be on the free tra&j or tariff reform Issue. If the party won't make that Its Issue. Its situation Is hopeless." The Judge added that he was unalterably op posed to one tariff system for the United States and another system for the Insular dependencies. As to Gorman he had nothing to say. Cleveland he -did not think could be nominated nor did he think Olney could muster enough strength In the convention" to win the nomination, Bryan was "too insistent on the mis takes which twice brought defeat to the party," he concluded. i Strangely enough, Bryan's candidates are not accepted seriously by the aris tocracy of. the party. One party fol lower, as he has been noted, called them 'straw canalaites." The truth Is that everybody is relying more on his own Judgment than on Bryan's. Not that they discredit Bryan; oh, dear, no. Never thought of such a thing. But they want a man who will win the confidence of the Eastern commercial Interests and at the same time that of the "Western Bryan contingent. May Win on Tariff Issne. "The nominee," remarked H. B. Adams, ueputy .Prosecuting Attorney, "will be popular in the East with the commercial Interests, and also in the West with the Bryan people. No, I don't think he will ue either Cleveland or Gorman. "The situation is not such as to Inspire a Democrat with overconfldence, but it is not hopeless. A great deal may happen in a year to advance our cause. "Democrats can come nearer meeting on me xarux issue man on any other; also near winning. "In my opinion the race Question Is co- lng to cost Roosevelt votes In the border states. I don't believe he will carry any or mem. Money Ikbuc Dend. Judge Seneca Smith is a bright star in tne democratic constellation, but be mod estly denied that he" had. any influence in the party. But to show that he was still a loyal member of the Bryan wing he said: "I never took any interest either In Mr. Gorman or his opinions. He's a thorouch bred politician: no, not a statesman at all Hill may be a slight Improvement over Gorman, but It's only a shade. Hill and Cleveland I regard as adjuncts of the Re publican party. Will the money question come up next time? No, I think not. unless there should be a financial oues tion. Just now. the people don't feel the need of bringing up the money issue.' K. V. Holman for SnilRe Gray Not a silver man Is F. "V. Holman. but he prides nimseif in his Democratic cltl zenshlp. The quantitative theory of money he believes has been verified In large de gree in the past decade but that's neither here nor there Just at this minute. What Mr. Holman cherishes most dearly is tariff issue. "If we're going to win next time," he said, "we must use .the tariff issue. It carried us to victory in 1S92 and won nearly everything. No, I'm not a Gor man man. He's a shrewd politician, but he's not of high enough principle. His nomination would be just as if Republi cans should put up Piatt or Quay or even Hanna. Judge Gray is my choice. He s man who would gain the support of the East." NOT OFFERED A MISSION PRESIDENT HEYJAifIX IDE WHEEL. EH. DEXIES REPORTED OFFER. President of University of California, Retaralnic to the "West, Dlscasses Eastern AJfolra. Benjamin Ide "Wheeler, president of the University of California, arrived In the city last night on his way home from the East, A man of good stature which one does not realize because his shoulders are more than broad In proportion, he has a square jaw, calm gray eyes and the de liberate but ready speech which seems to become the head of a great educa tional Institution. "Is It true that you were offered a dip lomatic mission by President Roosevelt?" he was asked as he stood on the veranda of the Portland HoteL "No, there Is no truth In that," he an swered decisively and then launched into a discussion of the affairs of Oregon, In which he inquired Into the growth of the metropolis of the country. I did not notice much change In Chicago: in fact. It seems that the "West is taking Its second wind, and becoming- more conservative. T came "West over -the Canadian Pa cific, and saw thousands of people going to settle In the Northwest beyond "Winni peg, among them being, many- Americans. Canada is experiencing a great develop ment and Is gaining self-consciousness as a nation. The aid which she sent to Eng land In the Boer War strengthened that feeling, and the relations to Great Britain have been rendered closer by the prefer ential tariff. Chamberlain's tariff pro posals are received with much favor. I had a talk with Gold win Smith, who thinks Canada's interests tend to closer relations "with the United States and to draw her away from England, and he does not like the growth of relations with the mother country. But the possibility of reciprocity with this country, for which Canada once hoped, has become so remote that she has been driven Into closer relations with England. She Is In a very fortunate posi tion, for she Is saved the necessity of maintaining a navy or diplomatic service, and yet has all the strength of the em pire behind her. Her people have more respect for law than ours, and Justice Is more evenly administered in her courts than In ours.

"f. Geald Interests Pnrsne This Policy tor Sake of Economy, and May Adopt It In Portland. The consolidation of the agencies of tho Rio Grande lines and the Missouri Pacific Portland Is expected by railroad -men. This policy has been followed by the Gould interests elsewhere, and it Is be lieved that an order will be issued within short time doing: away with one of the Portland agencies. This action does not necessarily mean a reduction in the force ot the systems at Portland, but would concentrate the Gould lines under- a sin gle management. The Missouri Pacific abolished its San Francisco office a short time ago, turn ing the business over to the representa tives of the Rio Grande lines. The Mis souri Pacific had extensive offices in the California metropolis and was one of the most firmly Intrenched roads represented on the Coast. The offices were combined because the work could be handled as well from one as two, and a bl? saving" Is effected. It Is understood by 'ocal railroad men that the same policy Is being followed In Eastern cities, and the only apparent rea son why something has not been done with the Portland offices Is that this city has not yet been reaehed. The Missouri. Pacific has offices with the Rio Grande lines in Portland. The freight department alone is represented, Fred C. essly being stationed here as traveling freight agent. "W. C. McBrlde Is general agent for the Denver & RIo Grande and the Rio Grande Western. It Is believed by railroad men .that If anything Is done here It will be to put Mr. McBrlde in charge of the Missouri Pacific's agency as well as the Rio Grande s lines. PRESIDENT BENJAMIN IDE WHEELER, OF UNIVERSITY OF CALI- FORNL. Portland and the politics of the state. He paid a high compliment to The Orego- I nlan and told of the esteem In which it is I held by President Roosevelt. This led on J to a discussion of the silver question and of the revulsion of sentiment in favor of ex-President Cleveland in the last few years. "I saw Mr. Cleveland In New York, and he expressed deep satisfaction at the number of letters he receives from alh parts of the country declaring approval of his position. He said: "Yes. I lost my party, but I could have held my party if I would have been for silver.' I do not pretend to know It, but people in New York say he could have carried that 6tate." Mr. Wheeler gradually changed the sub ject to the development of the "West, and expressed the opinion that the cities of the Atlantic Coast are developing more rapidly than those of the West. "Boston Is Improv ing In all directions, and has a fine subway system; in fact, I could hardly find my way about the city. New York Is building an underground railway system, bridges across the river to Brooklyn, and the Pennsylvania Railroad Is boring a tunnel under the harbor so as to have terminals In the heart of the city. Men from all parts of the country are making New York their residence in Winter; In fact New Yoi-k Is becoming more and more to the United States as Canada has to Great Britain. It is probable that the Islands now have a better government than any part of the United States, but as the people advance they may gradually become self-goyernlng, while their for eign relations remain in charge of this country- The people may not maintain as good a government as we should give them, but they will educate themselves and learn by making mistakes.

BELIEVES IN TARIFF REVISION. Chairman White Say Platform Should Be Broad Enough for AIL BAKER CITY. Or.. Aug. 7. (Special) Hon. Sam White, chairman of the State Democratic committee, returned last even ing from Nqrth Powder, where he had been looking after irrigation litigation. When shown the declaration of Senator Gorman, to the effect that the Democracy could win in tho next campaign on the tariff and relegating Bryan issues, he said: "I believe that the Democrats can win the next National election without rele gating any Democrat to the rear upon a platform which appeals to the commercial interests ot the country upon the tariff. If the Democrats will quit quarreling over past issues and construct a platform on live Issues of the day, of which tariff revision Is by far the most vital, there can be no question of success in 1S04. The people are beginning to understand and feel the burden of a high protective tariff as never before. They see the ne cessity ot reaching out Into the markets of the world for trade. "It Is now generally acknowledged by all our commercial interests, that the home market Is no longer sufficient to meet the demand for -produce consump tion, and in order to build up our mer chant marine and secure t,he trade of the world we must tear down the high tariff wall which now surrounds us. An appeal on the part of the Democracy to the com mercial interests of the Nation in the in terest of our merchant marine and ex pansion of trade rather than territorial expansion will surely win. "The Pacific Coast Is especially interest ed in the extension of trade in the Orient and there Is not and can be no reason why the Pacific Coast should longer adhere to the Republican doctrine of high tariff. A platform can be constructed along the line of tariff revision broad enough for all Democrats to stand on." Mr. "White did not express a chojee of a Democratic candidate.

"When he started back from his field In India from Portland, last October, he was at the ajse when most men feel like retiring from active pursuits; but since then he has been around the globe. The record of hU tour through the Interior of India, which began In March. Is most remarkable. In the GoUart district there had been persecutions. The Hindu holiday was also In progress, when the people Tied with each other In outrages. The, first meeting was held near Padra. where the bishop preached to an audience of 1O0 and baptized 133. At B&roda. 22S were received into the church, and 55 baptized. The next day the bishop preached to a congregation of 1700 and baptized S37 persons.

Circulars have been received In Portland announcing the organization of a corpora tion to construct a railroad from valdes to Eagle City, a distance of 430 miles. The road, when completed, will give to Alaska its first American route to the Yukon. That tha project is feasible Is believed by railroad men, but there are portions of the prospectus that have been criticized along the row. The pamphlet concludes with an imaginative statement of earn ings and cost of operation, which is pre sumed to cover the period of one year. Some of the figures given in this estimate are questioned by railroad men. t or instance, tne estimate snows mai but 15 per cent of the gross earnings of the road will be needed to cover operating expenses, giving net earnings of So per cent. The proportion of expenses to grosa earnings on well-regulated American Hne3 is 65 per cent, and It Is questioned wheth er an Alaskan railroad could reduce the proportion as indicated. The estimate charges the cost ot moving freight as 14 rnt TK.r ton ner mile. While few rail road men contend that the average cost has ever been figured accurately. It is be lleved , cent Is the average cost per ton Der mile ot moving freight. The AiasKa figures may be Justified. The cost of transDortlng passengers is given at 1. cents ner oassenger per mile, which Is also a sDeculative figure. Tha estimate of the promoters, wnemer it Is valuable or not.

He will be accora panled by one friend, and Intends to walk the distance from Forest Grove. An aver age of 25 miles per day is to be main tained by the marchers, who, before their return to Portland, expect to cover 100 miles. The only serious bit of walking the party expects to encounter will be about Tillamook Rock, where tne trail is re ported to be in bad condition.

News has been received, per Empress ot Japan, ot the narrow escape ot two members of tne United States Legation at Peltalho from death by asphyxiation. Peltalho is tne Summer resort of China, ana sunerea se verely during the Boxer movement. Messrs. J.H. Arnold and T. TV. Haskins are attached to the Legation at Pekln. They were nearly killed through the care lessness of Chinese servants, and were saved by the promptness of a Canadian medical missionary. The kitchen ranges at Peltalho are heated by a gas obtained from a peculiar species of coke that gives off a gas of a most obnoxious characterl One night a servant left the gas ore. About S o'clock the next morning- the Chinese menials were horrified to find Arnold and Haskins unconscious. Dr. Malcolm, of the Canad ian Presbyterian Mission, and Drs. Brown and Cochrane, of the London Mission, were at once sent for, and resorted to energetic measures. The active stimula tion and fresh air quickly brought Mr. Haskins round,, but It was evening ere Arnold recovered consciousness. He had been sleeping lh the east bedroom, and a northeasterly wind had driven Into hl3 room more of the poisonous fumes than were Inhaled by the other American.

Finally he "guessed" that some men whose names he did not know bad given them to him. In general conversation he said: "I came to this city only last night." Then on being cross-examined, he admitted that he had been here for the past five weeks. Asked where he lived, he replied: "On the streets," and then said: "At different lodging" houses." He was doubt ful when asked about his trade, and final ly stated that he was a machinist and worked at a mill at Seattle.

The disappearance of a watch from a house at Eleventh and Hall streets a lit tle over a year ago. Is primarily respon sible for the arrest last night of a little Englishman named Bayard Dudley, charged with larceny, by Detectives Ker rigan and Snow. When the theft of the watch was first reported, the police worked on the case but at that time were unsuccessful. A few days ago, the stolen watch turned up at a pawnbroker's place, and it was discovered that a woman who runs a lodging house had placed the watch wltb the pawnbroker. On being questioned, she said that the watch had Been given her by Dudley to settle an un paid board bill. Armed with a good description of the missing Dudley, Detectives Kerrigan and Snow arrested him last night at First and Madison streets, and he denied all knowledge of the larceny, but in his pock eta were found quite a collection of arti cles, the possession of which may get him into further trouble. The articles are: A silver watch, Swiss movement, gold rim, with three faces on the inside rim; a woman's beaded purse, containing a white bone box and a finger ring" with three' sapphires and two diamonds; a pair of Bell nippers which may have been used by someone to pull out precious stones from a breast pin; four house keys; one Ecoiiomv J Ei Brand Evaporated Cream goes farthest, tickles the "palate. pleasing" in appearance, uows smoothly from the can, most ap petizing, most nourishlnj.
