THE TRUE POSITION TO TAKE.
It comes to us fron? Democratic
sources that Hon. . B. S. Huntington
in a speech at Wasco stated that if
elected to the legislature he would
"vote for no man for United States
senator who is not a Republican.
Whether or not Mr. Huntington
made this statement at Wasco, we
are not certain; but he certainly did
at other places, and we honor him
for it. Mr. Huntinsrtou is a candi
date for the legislature upon the
Republican ticket, and it is safe to
assume he is a believer in Republi
can principles. If so, how could he
possibly, as long as is glimmer of
conscience remained to himVvpte for
a Democrat for United States sena
tor? If Mr. Huntington is elected to
the legislature it will be because of
bis. personal worth and the- added
consideration that he will vote for
a Republican for United States
senator.
jur. Huntington nas many warm
friends who are enthusiastic iii his
support, but if it were deemed pos
sible, which it is not, that he would
vote for a Democrat or United
States senator, those friends could
not support him.
Let it be understood, and une
quivocally so, that not only Mr.
Huntington, but Mr. Michell,. Mr.
Moore arid Mr. Jones, will work and
vote for a Republican for United
States senator, and in case a dead
lock ensues, they will refuse to vote
for a Democrat.
It is better that Oregon be un
represented in the senate than that a
Democrat be chosen from this state.
Have we not had enough of Demo
crats? Has not the country suffered
enough from this un-American, free
trade, bond-selling, debt-creatinir,
prosperity-destroying administration,
without a Republican being criticised
because, like an honorable man, he
comes out and says he will not vote
for a Democratic United States sen
ator? Well we think so, rather.
THE END OF IT.
An issue, has arisen between the
Times-Mountaineer and The Chron
icle relative to the price of Wasco
county warrants in 1892. The mat
ter was considered settled until an
editorial appeared in last night's
Mountaineer which gave the under-j
REPUBLIGflJI TICKE
standing that onr contemporary was
not fully satisfied with the truth of
our statements. The' editorial is as
lOliuws;
I The controversy resardfns the
price of Wasco county warrants in
1892 has oeen made almost as ciear
as mud by the explanation offered
in The Chronicle. ' It mentions 1892
wan ants bought bv Dr. Logan at
par, but those .variants were bought
in 1893, as the cancelled checks the
doctor holds show. What we have
said, and still maintain, is that war
rants of Wasco county, issued for
small amounts, the payment of ser
vices rendered for the county by in
dividuals, jurors, witnesses, etc
were not at par in 1892.
The issue is a plain one. Either
county warrants were, at par in 1 892
or they were not. If purchasers of
warrants paid -for them 100 cents
upon the dollar, then the contention
made by The Chronicle that war
rants were at par is proved.
The fact of the matter is, county
warrants in 1892 sold at par; that is
all there Is to the question.
The editor of the Mountaineer.
who is an honorable gentleman, and
one for whom we entertain the high
est possible regard,' has lived in this
community but a few months, and
has relied upon the statements of
friends. We do not think Mr.
Douthit would intentionally deceive
any one, ,anct are ruiiy convincea
that when the facts are placed befpre
him he will view the 'question in its
proper light. '
On Nov. 23, 1892, a warrant
drawn in favor of J. H. Fisk for
$200 was presented to the county
treasurer for payment. It is number
233 in series 35. The warrant came
into the possession of J. H. Phirman
and by him was sold to Dr. II. Lo
gan, the price paid being $200,
which is -as near par as anything can
conveniently get. Dr. Logan'3
check was drawn and paid November
26, 1892. and can now be seen at
this office.
But the Mountaineer maintains
that warrants for small amounts did
not sell at par. Here is one that
did: A warrant drawn in favor of
J. II. Mullan for $G, Series 34, No.
505, was sold to Dr. Logan for $G.
This one was purchased July 23,1892,
There wasn't much discount in that
instance. But there were smaller
ones yet. A warrant presented to
the treasurer July 11, 1892, for $3
was sold July 19, 1892, for $3. The
redeemed checks in all these in
stances are at this office. Besides
we have - in our possesion many
other checks which were issued in
payment for countj' warrants bought
in 1892 at par.
It is possible that in some isolated
cases warrants for small amounts
were sold at a discount This would
be but natural in the ordinary course
of business when circumstances
might compel the seller to dispose of
his scrip hurriedly without an oppor
tunity to look, oner the market. But
the exceptions prove the rule.
The Chronicle does not blame
Judge Blakeley because county war
rants took a slump during his term
of office. It was due to other causes
than his administration ; but we cer
tainly refuse to give him credit for
performing something he did cot
perform.-
It is furthermore tiue that the
checks referred to in the Mountain
eer as being drawn in 1893 were
drawn during January of that year
so that our contemporary has been
doing some special pleading.
In fine the conclusion of the whole
matter is that county warrants in
1892 sold at par. If the statements
of The Chronicle are doubted, let
the doubter inquire of French fe
Co., the First National Bank, The
Dalles National or Dr. Logan and
see how completely our contention
is sustained. '
The committee to solicit funds for
hiring Armory hall for the Crittenton
meetings met with unqualified success
yesterday, and secured nearly the whole
amount necessary. The committee are
grateful for the contributions and the
kindly spirit in which they were ten
dered and desire in appreciation to
heartily thank the donors.
Judge George H. Williams uttered
a worthy sentiment when he said
"honesty, - truth and decency are
with me higher considerations than
any party."
REPUBLICANISM VS. POP
The issue in Wasco and Sherman
counties is between Populism and
Republicanism. The withdrawal of
the : Democratic legislative candi
dates for" representatives and the re
fusal of Populists to make nomina
tions for joint senators, was a move
pure and simple in the interests of
fusion.
When a political party arrives
at that suite when it is willing
to barter its principles in exchange
for' temporary' success, that party
deserves distrust. The Democratic
and Populist parties are founded on
principles diametrically opposed to
one another. The belief of the
Democratic organization if it be
consistent enough to have a belief
is opposeu to the centralization of
power iu the national government
States rights was a favorite tenet of
Democracy, and a lingering liking
for that doctrine remains yet. The
Populists favor centralization to its
utmost degree. They believe in
government ownership of railroads,
telegraphs and telephones. They
declare that the government should
loan money on farm lands at a low
rate of interest, and are imbued with
countless other vagaries of similar
sort. And yet these two parties op
posed to one another in fundamental
belief are joining hands and assisting
one another in their canvas.
Democracy and Populism joined
in holy wedlock! wnar, win ine
harvest be? The fusion movement
is discreditable to both participants
and deserves rebuke at the polls.
The house of representatives has
shown once more that it is abreast of
the times. By a vote of 195 to 2G
it has passed a bill to prohibit foreign
immigration of an undesirable sort.
By the measure passed all aliens be
tween the ages of 16 and CO years
(except parents of persons living in
this country) who cannot both read
nnd write English, or some other
language, are prohibited from en
tering the American domain. The
action of the house will meet with
hearty approvr.1. This measure does
not shut out the intelligent foreign
en-, whom we are glad to welcome to
citizenship, but bars those who are
illiterate and would, in all probabil
ity never appreciate the wisdom and
glory of American institutions.
It is generally- conceded that as
between Ellis and Northup Mr
Ellis has the best chance for election
A vote for Northup, then, is a vote
for Bennett or Quinn, since it tikes
so much away from the leading Re
publican strength. Does Oregon
want to indorse the Wilson bill or
lend strength to the delusions of
Populism? The interests of the
wool-grower should not be put iu
jeopardy because of the selfishness
of a Portland political clique.
The administration is on the verge
of making another bond sale. The
revenues of the government during
the last fiscal year have fallen $30,-
000,000 below its expenses, and the
shipments of ?o!d abroad have
brought the gold reserve to a point
dangerously near the low water
mark. The record of the present
administration is a dismal one from
beginning to end. Upon what pos
sible grounds can it ask endorsement
from the people?
Can anything be said against the
record made by County Clerk Kel
say while in office? If not, his re
election shoald come as a matter of
course. The interests of the tax
payers have been well taken care of
by the present county clerk.
Prosecuting Attorney Jayne has
made a good record while in office.
He is an honest, conscientious, able
lawyer, and against his re-election
no valid argument can be raised.
Mr. Jayne should have a larger ma
jority next June than he had two
years ago.
A vote for C. L. Phillips is a vote
for an honest man, who will conduct
the. duties of the treasurer's office
wisely and well.

SAME THING OVER AGAIN.
First Appearance of the Movies Candi
dateHow He Does Ic
Here ia the way it works in the cities,
according to the Portland Telegram :
It is the novice candidate's first ap
pearance and his maiden address to the
voters of his ward. Observe his tout
ensemble. . Feast your eyes on his home
less, restless hands. . .
He knows them, bnt he cannot place
them like a man in his first swallow
tail. The novice is young. The horny-
handed sons of toil are boiling over with
auxiety to hear him break loose in a tor-
runt of unexcelled denunciation of "offi
cial corruption," "the bosses," etc.
Enter the novice to the twang of music
from the mandolin club of the Horse-
shoera' Apprentice Union.
The voice of the president as he intro
daced the novice, dies away.
There is a ghastly silence.
"Gentlemen and ladies, fellow patriots
nnd members of the All 'Kouud Loval
Club."
Deafening yells. "Whay, . whay,
whoop!"
"I stand before you this evening "
"That's right! Whoop! Goon!"
"We must rise above party and self "
Two minutes' applause. Loud stamp
ing, clapping and howls. "He's the
man."
"Your duty to your country and your
God"
Cheers and thunderous applause.
The novice consults "The Champion
Speaker's Own Friend, or, Every Man
His Own Orator," and catches a fresh
grip : - ,
"We must down the bosses, fellow
members of the All 'Bound Loyal Club,
and give the wcrkingmen a chance.
What do we want yes,' what do ' we
want? I will tell you"
"Hear him!'! "Go on!' "He's the
man !"
"Hurray ' for ' the ' workingman.
Hurray!" '
The candidate skips the telling, 'and
tries a new lead.
'Gentlemen do yonr duty at the
polls."
Hnrray!"
'Who steals all our public money and
who robs' you of all your earnings?
Thiuk of vour families."
The roof quakes again and the novice
turns to page 337 of the "Candidate's
Own Friend" and catches as a closing
phrase: '
"I thank yon "
Here the root falls In and the meeting
adjourns, while the novice tells the
Dutch saloon-keeper who rents the hall
above to send aronnd his beer bill next
week. Snmmaries: Attendance, 17 men ;
dog; hack, $3.50; 68 beers, (average
four rounds), $3.40.
A Sad Summons.
A pall of sadness seemed to pervade
our community when on last Friday
morning at 11 o'clock the news was cir
culated that' Mrs. T. A. Smith was dead.
Although the victim of a lingering dis
ease, her death was indeed a surprise
and a terrible blow to her family and
many friends, who looked for ber speedy
convalescence until death claimed her.
Mattie Alice, second daughter of E.
and I. S. Swearingen, was born Feb. 19,
1855, near Eugene, Lane county, Ore
gon and departed ' this life at Victor,
Oregon, May 15, 1896, aged 41 years, 2
months and 26 days.
June 13, 1875, at the age of 20, she was
united in marriage to Thomas A. Smith,
who survives her. She resided in Mon-
SI

mouth, Linn Co., Oregon during the
former part of her life. In 1883 she
came to Eastern Oregon and has since
resided here.
She leaves a mother, hueband, five
children, three sisters and a brother to
mourn her loss. Sisters to the deceased
are Mrs. T. J. Lee of Independence, Mrs.
J. E. Lee of Junction City, Mrs. G. E.
Shipley of Heppner and I. L. Swearin-
gen, a brother, of Prineville.
Mrs. Smith wai highly respected and
greatly beloved by all who knew her.
She was a conscientious, earnest Chris
tian woman, being a. member of the
United Brethren church, for which Ehe
was an untiring worker. During her
sickness Mrs. Smith bore her sufferings
with fortitude. Although cheerful and
hopeful for recovery, she felt resigned
toward the will of Uod. At last, when
death came to claim her, her face bore a
sweet smile and her spirit took it3 flight
from this world of care and passed to
that unknown realm where there is no
death.
The funeral occurred Sunday at Kelly's
church in the presence of a very large
assemblage of peopte. Rev. T. Merril
of Dufur preached the funeral discourse.
Many were the beautiful floral tributes
presented in memory of one much
loved. In their bereavement the family
have the heartfelt sympathy of all in
their great sorrow. A Fbiend.
Victor, May 20, 1896.
A QUESTION ANSWERED.
"Why Did Ton Come Out Independent?"
By the request of many friends and
voters of this county, who believe, like
myself, that this free country shoald be
run by the people, and not by any fac
tion nor political bosses of any- party,
who would down a man without any
cause whatever.
Now, geutlemen, I do not ask for
more than others have had before me,
and have only done my duty as a faith
ful custodian of the fnnds of this county,
and shall continue to do eo as long as
you say by your vote for me to stay in
this office; not favoring the rich more
than the man who- toils long for his
bard-earned dollar. '
; I leave it for the voters of this county to
say . if a tried man is not as good as an
untried man in this responsible office.
