A good strong hor forfermor rod. Inquire of Dr. Gilbert, In the Bank Block. tf ChiiareE Cry rPitclier's Castoria AX INTERVIEW. A PromineHt Prohi Talks Freely, An Ex-Democrat's Vicjvs of State And National Prospects. Dr. Aug. C. Kinney, of Astoria, well known In Salem, registered yesterday at tho Monroe house, being In the city on business. The Journal acknowledges a call. As no Is oue of nominees on tho prohi bition party electoral ticket, his opinion was asked about tho politi cal outlook. Reperter: "Doctor, how will tho election go iu Oregon?" Docter: "Oh, there is no question that Harrison and Morton will car ry this state. I felt sure it would go republican last June, and so tele graphed an eastern prohibition pa per that asked my opinion just before the election." R. "But you aro not a republi can?" D. "No j a life-long democrat un til a few years ago when I felt con vinced that the proper place for a strong prohibitionist was in the pro hibition party." R. "Do you expect anything of a vote for the party in November, out here?" D. "Yes, we ought to gain, for tho amendment vote showed nbout 20,000 voters, in the three parties, who believe in the principle of pro hibition, and since there is no reas onable doubt about which side will win in Oregon, I look for many tem perance and religious democrats and republicans to manifest the courage of their convictions, and vote as they pray." R. "Is it not conceded that the gains are far more from the republi cans?" D. "Not at all, Look at tho promised vote in tho Southern and democratic states. And after very careful enquiry over the stato gen erally, I am firmly convinced that wo aro getting as many democrats as from tho republicans, with any doubt on the subject being in favor of tho former. My conviction is that more democrats than republi cans voted our ticket last June, though In Marlon county it may not havo been so. I do not know about that." It "But do not' prohibitionists desire to draw mostly from tho re publicans?" D. "I do not seo why. Tho ob ject is to build up an entirely now national party, by drawing oil" tho most conscientious temperance men of both, and not simply to specially hurt or kill either." It "But if you should help to kill tho republican party, might you not gain from It more rapidly, and the sooner be able to defeat the dem ocrats?" D. "Such talk as that would bo a poor way to gain the democrats who by education and long sympathy are hostile to tho republican party, and who would not want to assist the prohibition party, if it was main ly republican, but under a new name, to defeat tho democrats." It "It is supposed that your party is going to spend its strength mostly in doubtful states." D. "Gonoral Fisko was hoson as ourstanrtiirdbenrer,not because of his state, but because of his high char acter and ability, and because he is esteemed in both North and South, by both white and colored, soldiers, and civilians. Rev. Dr. John A. Brooks was selected because of his sterling integrity and great ability, being an ex-democrat, a Southern man, and very popular iu Missouri, his own state, and tho South gen erally. His candidacy will antag onize some northern men, and re publicans who aro favorable to tho prohibition party, but ho will break heavily Into the democratic ranks. Tho new party is tho only one that can break tho wild South and the color line. Our national committee havo sent us a speaker, and will probably send other. They aro doing big work iu the South, the stronghold of democracy. Wo have organisations and aro holding con ventions and doing hard work In tho territories, where there Is no olectoral vote leoaue we want to swell tho aggregate vote and demon strate the growing demand for a new jwrty without worrying about which of the old parties gets beaten next fall, or In what states?" It "What aggregate vote do you look for" Dr. "Four years ago St John's vote ran up from 10,000 to 12,000; two years since returns showeu 800,009. So 600,000 thk year Is not at all unreawmabla, but weare work ing for a million." Children Cry Pitcher's Castoria rmtsoNALs. Mrs. A. C. Chapman has gone to visit her mother at Hlllsboro. Elder P. N.
