'CYCLONE" DAVIS AND THOMAS
JEFFERSON.
'Cyclone Davis" was introduced on
the occasion of Iris address here as
the greatest campaign orator in the
United States. He began his address
by declaring that his only text book
is the Constitution and his only
counselor is Thos. Jefferson, and for
effect he caused to be piled upon the
table nine or ten volumes, which he
said were the writings of Thos. Jef
ferson, from which he quoted, or
pertended to quote. Thomas Jeff er
son being one of the patron saints of
all good Democrats, his frequent
reference to Jefferson is a winning
card, so far as Democrats with Pop-
ulistic tendencies are concerned.
Jetferson was unquestionably a
good man.' History has accredited to
him much, and, from the standpoint
of every Republican, quite all that
he was or is entitled to. But he,
like the "Texas Cyclone," and all
otner southern .Democrats, was of
the class of men who believed, or
maintained, that the union was a
general government constituted for
special purposes only a compact of
states, and that the component states
should be the final judges of the ex
tent of the powers delegated to the
general government. In other words,
Jefferson and Madison, in the Ken
tucky and Virginia resolutions of
1798, concerning the Alien and Se
dition law, of which they were the
respective authors, were the first
promulgators "of the doctrine of nul
lification and secession. Some po
litical writers have given Calhoun
the honor ( ?) of first advocating this
doctrine in which "our recent un
pleasantness" had its origin ; but
reference to the resolutions above
refeired to clearly; demonstrates the
error of such writers.
Davis, who was a southern Demo-
BEPDBLIOPTIOKET
crat untl! five years ago, comes,
backed up, as' be claims, by the
father of secession, lo teach the peo
ple of Oregon how to vote. If Jef
ferson was the authou of all the ideas
this Populist agitator accredits to
him, he was as far from truth and
patriotism as when he wrote the
Kentucky resolutions. ;
' As to the banking system, against
which Jefferson is taid to have writ
ten and speken, it was in its nature
essentially what the Republican party
today is opposing, viz, a system of
inflation. The Populist is demand
ing more currency inflation the
very thing which Jefferson opposed,
and concerning which he used the
language which this ex-secessionist
says ho used as to the whole banking
system.
Davis speech hardly merits so
much attention, for it contained no
argument. It was a harangue
against capital, and banks in paiticu
lar an appeal to the prejudices of
men who are not advised as to his
torv or finance. It was this and
nothing more.
ANOTHER MISSTATEMENT
CORRECTED.
A few days ago the Mountaineer
contained an article charging Sheriff
T. J. Driver withlobbying at Salem
in the interests of the sheriff's mile
asre bill. The following statement
should set at rest any doubts the
public may entertain as to Mr.
Driver's personal intention or atti
tude upon that question:
Portland, May 18, 1896
To Whom It May Concern:
At all meetings of the sheriff'
conventions of the state of Oregon
T. J. Driver, sheriff of Wasco county
expressed himself as being in favor
of having the law, as to the com
pensation of sheriffs remain as
was, and in the event of any change
in said compensation of sheriffs be
ing made by an act of the legisla
ture, he would not oppose such
change, but would continue to act in
such matter under the law as it ex
isted at the time of his assuming the
duties of sheriff of Wasco county.
Geo. C. Seaks.
Pres. of Sheriff's Convention.
A report has originated, and
the circulation commenced of
story by a friend of Judge G.
(J. lilakeley tuat when he as
sumed the office of county judge of
Wasco county he found the county
$110,000 in debt, and that he has
reduced this amount to such an ex
tent that should he be re-elected, in
another year he will wipe out the
debt entirely. It is needless to say
that this silly fable will not be cir
culated among that class of men who
read The Chronicle, or any other
publication. It is meant for. the i
norant and uninformed, and the man
who started it says the story will be
circulated widely the coming week.
Any reader of The Chronicle
knows that the county debt is a few
hundred dollars greater than when
Mr. Blakeley assumed the office
But this story will have its effect.
There are those in every community
who cannot, or do not, read, and
they will believe it, and believing it,
will vote for1 Blakeley. :
Senator Gorman's proposed issue
of $100,000,000 of treasury certifi
cates to pay the deficit between the
current revenues and expenditures
of this government will. startle the
country to a clearer knowledge of
the distress of the United States
treasury. This deficit began with
the Cleveland administration, and
has been deep seated and continu
ous. It has forced nearly $200,000.-
000 additional bonded indebtedness
upon the people, and is ono of the
chief causes of the existing financial
distress, upon tnese Don as it is
now proposed to throw $100,000,000
of , treasury notes, or national war
rants. The proposal will meet with
a whirlwind of popular indignation.
t There has never a word of reproof
or criticism been uttered, that we
have ever' heard, regarding Mr.
Kelsay's management of the county
clerk's office. . He hag held the office
but one term, and if the people ap
preciate a good officer in a respon
sible position, they will endorse his
conduct by re electing him county
clerk.
PAST AND PRESENT ATTITUDES.
Judge Northup's campaign is not
meeting with gratifying success In
Wasco county. As election day ap
proaches the tide is setting more
strongly against the candidate mined
by the Oregoman and Joseph Simon.
As the . logic of the situation is ana
lyzed the true motives which have
prompted the candidacy of Mr.
Northup are made more apparent,
"and the golden mask under which .he
has been hiding becomes transparent
and reveals his true features.
The people of Eastern Oregon do
not takt? kindly to this proposal to
give Portland another member in the
congtestionnl delegation. The c'oun
try east of the Cascade mountains is
entitled to at leact one representa
tive in the national legislature, and
any attempt to deprive it of this
right will be frowned upon.
Judge Northup, with the cunning
tactics of the professional politician,
attempts to play upon the credulity
of Eastern Oregon people by an
nouncing in slarion voice his eager
ness to assist in the opening ot the
Columbia river. Mr. Northup's
work is a little coarse. His new
found love will be harder wooing
than he thinks, and we can promise
Mr. Northup timt his protestations
of friendship for Eastern Oregon
come at an hour too late to be of
much avail. . .
The attitude of Portland has al
ways been inimical to the completion
of the Cascade lecks. Time and
time again when the people of the
imprisoned Inland Empire asked for
assistance from the metropolis they
were turned away with scoru. Dur
ing the spring nearlj' past when The
Dalles cried out against the mon
strous wrong that had been perpe
trated Portland lemained selfishly
silent. This is history and all the
pretty words of Judge Northup can
not change the record..
The Oregonian-Simon candidate
must have a low opinion of Eastern
Oregon intelligence if he thinks that
the people wi'l disregard the lessons
of the past and support for congress
a man who is the espoused candidate
of men who bv word and action
have ever been unfriendly to the
pecple living east of the Cascade
mountains. It is lime Portland
were taught that it no longer domin
ates the rest of the state.
In no better way can this rebuke
be administered than by burying
under an avalanche of ballots the
cherished pet of Scott and Simon.
Does Wasco county want to be
represented in the legislature by
Populists, who will cast their votes
for Pennoyer for senator? This
will be the logical result if the Pop
ulist candidates on the fusion ticket
are elected. Pennoyer . is anything
and everything. He is a Populist
when it pays to.be one;" he is a Dem
ocrat if th 't party be on top he is
all things to all men, and above
everything else is a seeker after
votes. Pennoyer brought disgrace
upon the state of Oregon by . his
churlish treatment of Presidents Har
rison and Cleveland. Does Oregon
want to be still further dishonored?
A vote for Messinger arid Henry is
a vole for Pennoyer. Think well
before taking such a course.
If there is a man in Wasco county
who is fitted to perform the duties
of county judge, that man is Robert
Mays". His name is a 6ynonym for
honesty and ability. He Is deeply
interested in the material welfare of
the countj', and if elected to the
honorable position for which he has
been ' nominated he will perform the
duties, as he does everything . else,
wisely and well. " !
It is generally conceded that C.
Gilbert has a walk over for the
school superintendency. This is as
should be. Mr. Gilbert is well
qualified for this important office,
and his. administration will redound
to his credit and to the good of our
schools. ' ' - '
Mr. Butts has performed his share
in saving the county expense in the
matter of inquests, and ' might have
held twice as many if his object were
nly to milk the county.- The spirit
is worthy of wide emulation, and he
deserves re-election to encourage
such a policy in other office-seekers.
POOR OLD SALLY AGAIN.
From Cold ana Hunger Her Child
I'a.sl.g- Away.
1
. Some lime since mention was made in
the Chroxicle of "Satly,"'an Indian
woman who works hard all day at the
washtab for 25 cents, and who does not
earn money enough to maintain life and
care for her sick daughter. In conse
quence that daughter is today dying
dying from cold, hunger and neglect. In
trembling and uncouth language she. in
formed a patron last week that ehe would
not be able to wash the coming week, for
her girl would not live long and she must
be at her bedside waiting for the end.
She begged for a pair of stockings to fur
nish warmth to the! one being on thiB
earth she most dearly loves, who, unat
tended by a doctor, her frame emaciated
by, disease and insufficient food, and her
bfdy so scantily clad that she is con
stantly chilled, is dying.
This week she again appeared with a
new and terrible trouble. While at 6eu
fert'e cannery a Chinaman accidentally
cnl her on the wriBt with a huge knife
while chopping salmon.. The wonnd is
a serious one. The two sides of a trian
gular space, about two inches in length
are depressed, showing the presence of a
deep wound. She suffers great pain
constantly, bnt 'has no "chickamin"
(money) to purchase either medicine or
medical attendance.
Poor old Sally's troubles will soon be
over. She will shortly stand at the
brink of a grave, where her great matern
al love will be buried with her child ; the
heavy earth pressing over the loved form
will communicate its weight to her be
reaved heart. With crashing sadness,
bnt savage fortitnde, she will return to
her detolate hearthstone, and with
heart sick and body racked, with pain,
she will endure as best she may the
short span of life that yet remains to her
before her spirit takes its flight to that
realm where cold cannot pierce, where
hunger cannot giiaw, and where, let us
hope, there will be no lack of comforts
that a fond mother may not bestow on
her child. May that . love be eternal,
unthwarted and measureless.
The vangellst.
The subject of the Bible reading yes
terday afternoon was "Assurance," at
which time a fair-sized audience greeted
Mr. Crittenton.
It was 8 o'clock last evening before
the leaders announced the first hymn,
and a short praise and prayer service
was held, at the close of which the solo
by Mr. Wallace, "My Old Country
Home," was finely rendered, he being
assisted bv a refrain, which seemed to
come from the sides of the stage. After
the Solo Mr. Crittenton made the an
nouncements and distributed a large
number of cards of invitation, to be
given out to induce all the children in
the town to attend the children's meet
ing this afternoon at the armory. Also
cards of invitation were distributed co
those present to give to their friends and
neighbors inviting them to attend the
lecture on Wednesday evening on the
subject of the "Florence Mission Rescue
Work."
Eight forty-five had been reached be
fore the regnlar services began, and Mr.
Carpenter in commencing urged that as
many as could attesjd the meeting at the
Congregational church tomorrow after
noon, led by Mr. Crittenton, on the
subject of "Consecration."
ME. CABPENTEB
Mr. Carpenter took for .his text Jere
miah xii :5, "If thou . bast run with the
footmen and they have wearied thee,
then ; bow canst thou, contend .with
the horses? And if in the land qf peace,
wherin thou truBtest, they weary thee,
then how wilt thou do in the swelling of
the Jordan?" The speaker said life was
fall of mile-stones, and every moment
we were nearing the last milestone of
life, and we should be prepared for
that last mile-stone, the swelling of the
Jordan, and, then tne end wouhi be glo
rious. He . 8 poke very . touchingly of
never having seen his mother, bnt be
lieved he should know, her in the world
to come, when life's rape la run.
After , the address , an. invitation was
given and cards distributed to those
wishing for prayers and who were will
ing now to start on the Christian life.
The beautiful hvmn "We Are Passing
Away" was very affecting, and the au
dience showed how deeply it was moved
by the solemn quiet that came over it.
The meeting' closed by -Mr. Crittenton
asking the Christians present to refrain
from talking of other subjects than those
of. a serious nature, espec ially with tb
unconverted, after which the bendiction
was pronounced.
If you want Senator Mitchell to suc
ceed himself, vote for Hon. T. R. Coon
for joint representative, as he is the
only candidate that will ruiqualifidly
agree to support Senator Mitchell.
The Australian Ballot.
. While at the Locks the other day Mr.
A. M. Kelsay met a traveling salesman
who has lived in Australia who told him
many interesting facts concerning the
Australian ballot system, from which it
appears that -we have as yet but a very
etude knowledge. Sydney and Mel
bourne, Australia, are cities larger than
San Francisco, and a comparison was
drawn between them. In the Austra
lian cities . there are bat foar polling
places in each. These are in the largest
possible halls that can be found, con
taining from two to three hundred
booths. There is no hitch nor waiting.
Every man votes as soon as it is possi
ble for him to do so, and there aie al
ways unoccupied booths. The polls are
closed at 6 o'clock, and by 12 o'clock
that night the votes are all counted and
ready to be announced. In San Fran
cisco at the Jast general election it re
quired nearly threo weeks to count the
ballots. From this it appears we have
much to learn of the practical workings
of the Australian baliot law.
'Cyclone" Davis.
"Cyclone" Davis spoke to a crowded
house last evening at the conrt bouse.
The appellation preceding his name is
caused from the remarkable emphasis
he frequently gives the last word of a
sentence, by which he appears to be try
ing to shake his teeth loose. His whis
kers vibrate about r,C00 times to the sec
ond and a soundful howl emanates from
a confused space 15 inches in width
above his shoulders which he endeavors
to fill at one and the same time with a
7 inch head. It is certainly a cyclonic
spectaele, unusual and unique in cam
paign oratory. However, Mr. Davis is
interesting to all and probablv convinc
ing to the class of people of which he is
an exponent. He confined himself al
most entirely to the money qnestion,
dismissing the tariff by saying that it
made no difference whether the tariff
was high or low, or no tariff at all. We
did not import wheat, wool, cotton or
lumber, and a tariff on those articles was
consequently unnecessary. We shall
not attempt to reproduce his speech.
Davis must be heard to be appreciated.
A QUESTION ANSWERED.
'Why Did You Come Oat Independent?"
- By the request of many friends and
voters of this county, who believe, like
myself, that this free country should 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 lunds of this county,
and shall continue to do so as long as
you say by your vote for rae 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 coanty to
say if a tried man is not as good as an
untried man in this responsible office.
