For sale by J. A. Cumraini- From tbe News of Clarksburg W. Va Iowa bas just installed her goidbog governor, wbo in bis inaugural address urged tbe immediate establishment of tbe siagle gold standard by a complete reformation of tbe existing currency laws. Tbe old hayseeds of the Hawkeys .tale can now stroke tbeii chin whiskers and scratch the bald spot on top of tbeir beads and figure out tbe game as to wt at they will get In lieu o! tbeir be loved greenbacks, as such financiers as Governor Sbaw have declared nasty and unfit for circulation. It is safe to pre dic, kswever, that if ths currency reform of such men as Iowa's new chief execu tive are carried out it will be raspy long years before that Bute again cele brates tbe inaogural ol a goldbug gov ernor. The Salem Sentinel (republican), says: This is going to be a strasge year in pol itics in Oregon . Iu state offices, prob ably the only republician wbo will be renominated without opposition for a leconJ term is Judge F. A. Moore, of tns an preme court. Governor Lord, Secreta ry Kincaid, Superintendent Irwin, State Printsr Leeps.and Attorney General Idle man will all have opposition, although there seems to be no decided candidates for Mr. Leeds place. Lord stands abso lutely no show for renominatloo. Coon's is about the only name a yet mentioned with that of Mr. Kincaid far secretary ship of state. Benson is after Irwin's place or Idle man's and Somers, of Lino, would also like to ba attorney general. R Alexan der, of Pendleton, and Claud Gatch, of Salem, want to get into the state treas ury. For governor several names are mentioned . Minister DeLame says that President McKinley ia weak and catering to the rabble, and ibat he ia a low politician wtj desires to stand well wilb the jin goes of bis party. This was said in a letter and has caused more talk tban any international affair for a long time. While many people will believe what tbe minister said U was nevertheless s very injudicious thing for a minister to say about tbe bead of the government where he Is located.
