Address aU communication to " THE CHRON
ICLE," The Dalles, Oregon. -
The Times-Mountaineer of April 14th
said: "Speaking of passes to delegates
to state conventions, it may be well to
state that the faction was the only one
that offered them."
Now we know to a certainty what our
" evening contemporary means by the
"faction." . Now we know who they are
that have "cursed the town with their
presence for the past twenty years."
Now we know who the "Silurians" and
"mossbacks" are. They are the owners
of the new line of boats who simply did,
what everyone must have regarded as a
wise and handsome act in offering passes
to the men who were delegated to nomi
nate the men who might be called upon
in the next legislature to legislate for
another portage railroad. The "faction"
gave the delegates passes. So we are
told. Now the passes were given by the
boat company. Therefore, it follows,
that the boat company is the "faction."
The Ciikonici.e thought so all along but
. never saw the Mountaineer put it so
plainly before. So it is this faction that
. has been "downed, horse and dragoons,"
, and the enemies of this faction are on
top. Be it so. Then the Cukoxicle is
. down on the men who downed the
"faction", down on them, first, last, and
eternally ; unless, per chance God may
convert them, which he never will
down on them, not from the most
infinitesimal "feeling of personal dislike
to the men themselves, but solely and
only because they "are enemies of the
people, the enemies of an open river,
and the Times-Mountaineer is their
apologist and prophet.
The Times-Mountaineer, says:" "The
present attitude (of the Chboxkxk) irr
regard to the republican . ticket may be
Gourlay's own. - If so the republicans
who own stock in the caper should free
themselves from the suspicion of dissatis
faction. Without an atom of reason the
Chronicle has chosen to take the posi
tion that the republican ticket now in
the field is a Moody ticket." Now the
truth is the CnaoxicLE has never taken
anv such position, nor has it ever said
one word of evil concerning the republi
can ticket nor of anv man on it. The
Times-Mountaineer is simply in a bole
After the state convention it boasted of
having routed the "faction," at the pri
maries, at the county convention and at
the state convention, "horse, foot and
draeoons." Bv the term faction as it
has since explained, it meant the direc
tors of the boat company. The Chron
icle contended, what everybody here
knows to be true, that there are only
two factions, and that if the one has
routed the other in the manner described
the victor must be on topT Then we
asked for proof that Moody was on top,
by demanding the name of a single
Moody man on the ticket, affirming that
the people would rise in their might and
down such an one at the polls. Then
the Times-Mountaineer caughf in its own
trap, charged the Cubonicle with fight
ing the ticket. This is the whole story.
The Chronicle has not started this con
troversy and docs not shun if. It is not
fighting the ticket, at the- same time it
ought to be understood and is, by every
one except the dull intelligence that pre
sides over the Times-Mountaineer, that
this is not a party organ. It is not fight
ing simply to see men elected to office,
but for principles that it believes to be
beneficial to the community and nation,
and only for men as they represent these
principles. In their private relations it
is very possible that the men who con
trol this journal may be found. as. true to
the party of their choice, on election
day, as the faction that seeks through
the Mountaineer to admonish them of
their duty. That however is something
with which the' Cukoxicle, as a news-
paper, has nothing to do. '
MR. ELLIS AT HONE.
How the Candidate ..Was Received
- Jlla ltetura to Heppner.
The Dalles, Portland and Astoria Nav
igation company offered passes to all the
delegates to the late republican state
convention. The Tsourtesy was so far
appreciatod that all availed themselves
of it, save two, who may have found it
more convenient to travel by rail. On
the return trip the delegates showed
their appreciation by passing a vote of
" thanks to the company and having it
s published in the Ciiroxicle. The com
pany have also issued passes to tha' del-
. egates to the democratic state conven
tion and we are assured they also highly
appreciate the courtesy. The boat com
pany could only have one object in issu
' ' ing these passes, namely, to offer to the
'delegates who were charged with Jhe re
sponsibility of naming our future, law
makers in the state legislature an ocular
demonstration of the benefit the people
have received by the Cascade portage' so
hat they might become stimulated to
do all in their power to secure another
at the dalles. It remained for the Times
Mountaineer to hold up this well meant
courtesy to scorn and, as if booming its
friend and. patron the Union Pacific, an
nounce in the same, article that "the
railroad company gave a - reduction to
those attending this convention when
accompanied by a certificate of elec-
tion." ..'The Mountaineer has never' al
lowed an opportunity to pass of showing
its contempt for the new . line of boats
and its hatred of the "faction" who put
up their money to bUtld then.. ".
The Portland Telearam'ea.vs : ."Mr.
Ellis is running for congress on a slat
form that is 'heartily in favor of the
Dolph-Mitchell boat-railway scheme,
which to say the least is experimental.
and will take many years to complete,'
if it is practical at all, but which says
not a word in favor of a portage rond, to
be built either by the Federal govern-ment-or
the state,-and hence must be
opposed to it 1 What do the people of
Eastern Oregon think of this. . ;
The Chronicle may not speak for the
republican party but it can speak for
Eastern Oregon. Over this way every
man who is blessed with a reasonable
amount of common sense knows, as well
as he can .know anything of a similar
character, that there does not exist he
shadow of a hope that the federal "gov
ernment will ever - undertake "to over
come the obstructions at the dalles by
any work of a less permanent character
than a boat railway Tor a canal. The
discussions recently carried on- in the
river and harbor committee ought to
have made this sufficiently clear. If we
are ever to have a portage road the state
win nave to Duud it. A platform in
favor of a portage road built by the gen
eral government would be so far nothing
less : than buncome. 'Instead v of
vainly looking to congress for relief we
seek to send men to the 'state legislature
who are pledged to work for an appro
priation from that quarter.
'..V" -: " From the Heppner Gazette.
.' As Friday's train pulled into the depot
with the republican; delegates, their
friends and the nominee of the second
district republicans for congress, Hon.
W. K. Ellis, they were greeted by 6weet
strains from the Heppner cornet band
and the happy shouts of an immense
crowd of citizens. -A procession was
formed, headed by - the band, marching
up town. Bonfires were burning all
along the route," and at -Gunn's and
Whetstone's blacksmith shops the anvils
were trying their level best to be heard
all over Morrow county.' Arriving at
the First National "Bank corner an im
promptu stand was erected, J. N. Brown
presenting Mr. Ellis, who made a short
speech, in which he thanked his friends,
regardless of party ties, for' their influ
ence in his behalf. Otis Patterson and
J. N. Brown were then called upon for
remarks, which they responded to as
well as possible under the circumstances.
A general hand-shaking was then in
dulged in, and it was noticeable that Mr.
Ellis' democratic friends were just as
proud as the republicans in having Mor
row county represented by a candidate
for congress, and, too, in the person of
himself. P " His friends are
legion, and are not confined altogether'
to the republican party. Anyone will
recognize the fact .that Mr. .talis will
carefully ' look after our interests, if
elected ; that ha is not a man who will
permit himselt to be drawn into ques
tionable connections. He is a pure and
able gentleman, a poor' man, compara
tively in this world's goods. . He is a
friend to the wage-earner,, the farmer,
and will in "no way overlook their inter
ests. - The latter, with full accord, de
mand the early opening of the Columbia
river, God's natural highway to the
interior. Ellis is the man who will, in
the event of the election, and of this
there is no doubt, let nothing rest till it
is accomplished.

- The Eastern Oregon Republican asks
"If the tariff is a tax wjiy is it that wire
nails sell for $1.90 a keg, while the duty
is $2 a keg? And why does calico sell
for 142 cents a yard and less, while the
duty, is 5 cents a yard? and why can
cloth be bought for 75 cents a yard the
diitv on which in fl71;C 4ATir.a a varrl?'
. The truth is the tariff is a tax when the
consumer uses articles of foreign produc
tion subject to aa import duty. The
price of such articles is increased to the
consumer by the amount of the duty
paid at the port of entry. , But protec
tion has so stimulated home production
and corn pet ion has so reduced the prices
of home manufactures that practically, so
far as our home products, which eater
largely into the consumption of the
masses are concerned, the tarfff is not a
tax-.
admirable person in
the fiend Deeming,
now under arrest in Melbourne. Deem
ing clearly is not insane'; certainly not
as much so as was Guiteau. His brain
Is probably as healthy as that of the
average man. He is one of those mon
strosities that occasionally crop up in
the very midst of a refined civilization ;
cold-blooded, heartless, devoid of con
science: one of the cowardlv villians
whose victims are invariably unsuspect
ing women and helpless children, and
whose hideous crimes make refined
women and Christian men rejoice over
the existence of the gallows and the
prevalence of capital punishment.

"Why, I purchased them of The

shoes since I left Boston.' What brand
did you say they were?"
"Why Walter ' H. Tenney '& Co., "of

"Well, now; I thought so. I am
right glad I met you, for I shall buy a

The Prineville News (Dem.) says
Eastern Oregon scored one at the re
publican state convention - when that
body placed Hon. W. R. Ellis, of Hepp
ner, in nomination for congressman
from the second district of this state,
Mr. Ellis is well known in Crook county
as an able attorney, a man of affairs and
a thorough gentleman, and it will be a
surprise if, in June, the county does not
voice its appreciation of Mr. Ellis as
plainly as it has on different occasions
in the past." . . - - .
