The people arc eager for a return
to the protective policy of the Har
rison administration. This they will
obtain through' the agency of the Re
publican party. But the St. Louis
convention will betray the trust
confided to it if the result of its de
liberations is cot a declaration
against the free and unlimited coin
age of silver and an honest expres
sion in favor of the gold standard.
PIONEER MEETING.
SILVER . OR GOLD.
Unless conditions change greatly
between now and the day of meeting,
. the St. Louis convention will nom
inate McKinley for president and
declare unequivocally foi the main
tenance of the present gold standard
. The talk of the 6ilver men, which
- lut a few davs ago was blustering
... and heavy with threats of a bolt in
- case silver was not endorsed, has
simmered down to a moderately-ex
pressed hope that the convention will
not refuse to recognize the claim of
the' silver states and mine-owners
x The leaders of (the party the men
who have maintained Republican
principles with the greatest consist-
x ency and success are determined
that the convention shall not stultify
itself on the coinage question. The
silver; craze is the result of ceaseless
agitation among people such as mine
' owners and the debtor class, who have
. material interests which would tern
. porarily be benefitted by the free
coinage of silver and among people
whose prejudices when appealed to
are easily excited.
The United States government is
". able to carry a circulation of $500,-
, 000,000 in silver dollars. This is
done because the government thus
far has been able to promise that
the silver would, if necessary, be re
. deemed in gold. . If, howevery the
' mints were compelled to coin all the
silver bullion brought to it, the ex
cess of silver would be so great that
its purchasing price woidd immedi-
ately 'drop to its commercial value,
and the silver dollar of today would
be worth but fifty cents, or whatever
its' bullion value would be. The
phrase free silver is a catchy one,
. but. it takes but little study and
thought ' to " forsee what dangers
. would, result to the business inter
ests of the country if such a course
were adopted. . :
Events Lave proved that the Re
publican party has been right on all
national issues. . "A; great oppartu-
" nity is presented to it now to be still

pledged to the maintenance of the

The convention which meets to
day in St. Louis promises to heed
the voice of the people. Every in
dication points to the nomination of
McKinley ana the adoption of a
sound money platform. c The only
contest seems to be over the notnina
tion for vice-president. The candi
dates mentioned most prominently
so far are not men of wide reputa-
Governor Hobart of New
is not known widelv to the
'ot the West, while H. Clay
of Tennessee made his fame
the late celebiated guberna
torial campaign in that state. Levi
P. Morton declines the second place,
though if the "convention should
nominate bim it is a question if he
would not reconsider his former dec-
laration.
; "We believe New York should re
ceive the vice-president, and among
her distinguished citizens is a man
well fitted for the office Ex-Sccre
tary Tracy, a member of Harrison's
cabinet and a- wise statesman. If
nominated for vice-president he
would add greatly to the strength of
the ticket. McKinley Tracy, pro
tection and sound money would be
an irresistable combination.
Today's dispatches mention the
death of Judge Isaac H. Maynard of
New York. The only claim this man
had to reputation was that through
bis unprincipled devotion to David
B. Hill he was rewarded with a
judgeship. When election came
around the people of New York re
volted and buried Maynard under a
plurality- for his" opponent of over
100,000 votes. t Since that time Hill
has been losing ground politically in
the state of which he was once the
absolute boss. . - '
' Tomorrow, June 16th, marks the
fiftieth anniversary we will not say
(as said in the 3'ellow circular put out
by the Oregon Pioneer Society) "of
the day when Oregon became a part
of the United States," but when by
the treaty of 1846 she was recog
nized by Great Britain n3 such. We
know she was that all the time. It
is, therefore, highly fitting that this
anniversary shouiu oe oecommgiy
honored. '
To this end the Pioneer Associ j
ation has made a great effort to se
cure the -names of all such as were
resident in Oregon at that time.
The roll of mmes, with such addi
Hons as farther investigation . has
demonstrated, has been published in
the Oregonian, and as far as possible
their presence,, will be secured at the
jubilee celebration. Of these many
will surelj be prevented" from going
by infirmities of age and ill health,
and many of them will be prevented
from going by other adverse circum
stances. One thing is true, the rap
idly diminishing roll contains the
names of those to whom we of this
end of the century may well deem it
our privilege to show all honor. .
The Pioneer society admits as
members all who were here prior to
February 14, ; 1859, when - Oregon
was admitted as a state. But of this
not very large number the "forty
sixers" are but a very few. There
may be some in Wasco county ; we
can cow think: or but one or two,
Mrs. Gilmore, widow of the late
Hon. S. M. Gilmore, now living in
Klickitat county, was here in 1846,
but, if we have been correctly told,
not within Oregon's then large borders-
until after June 15th. . Mrs,
Crate, the widow of the Hudson Bay
pioneer, Edward Crate, was here at
that time and in Wasco county.
The association will be banqueted
by .' the i pioneer ladies of Portland
June 16th. Hon. G. H. Williams
will deliver the annual address.
A VERY WEAK BLVFF.
Walla Walla has raised $800 for a
Fourth of July celebration. . Pen
dleton business men aie contributing
liberally for a like celebration, in
that city. The Dalles has yet made
no mqye towards keeping up with
her sister towns in a display of pa
triotism. v It is not because we are
lacking in love of country or finan
cial abilitybut simply' through lack
of some one to set the ball rolling.
There5 is yet time to arrange for a
successful celebration.

Teller and his Rocky mountain
bushwhackers declare, says the Tele
gram, that they expect to carry. at
least five states out of the St. Louis
convention witli them, and are very
hopeful that the leader of their bolt
will be nominated by the Democratic
convention at Chicago. This dec
laration is a pitiful expose of the
weakness of the silverite cause at St.
Louis. As a menace it is pathetic.
The five states referred tc are Col
orado, Utah, Idaho, Nevada and
Montana. Their total strength in
the electoral college is sixteen votes,
or less than iialf of the thirty-six ap
portioned to New York." The party
that opposes sound money, is .'certain
to lose New York, so it is seen that
And if the silver wing of the Demo
cratic party absorbs the Tcllerites, so
mnch the better it will be for the
sound money cause. With gold or
silver the issue, and the forces pitted
against each other on the two tick
ets, instead of a triangular fight, it
is assumed that the Republicans,
with an anti-silver platform, would
be able to carry nineteen states, giv
ing a total of 205 votes, and the
free-silver Democrats 140, having
only to win from 102 votes in doubt.
In these are included twenty-four
from Illinois and fifteen Indiana,
where silver is an uncertain quantity,
and the revolt of gold men may be
such as. to give the Republicans a
victory.' In Kentucky, Tennessee
and Virginia the Republican leaders
believe they have a fighting chance.
Theiefore it is difficult to see how
the Tcllerites can, possibly hope to
intimidate the sound-money majority
at St .Louis.
. But the Chicago convention will
not nominate Teller Or any other
Republican bolter. There are too
many carefully nurtured presiden
tial booms within the Democratic
free-coinage camp, to allow any such
move as that. The Blands and the
Bryans and the Blackburns and the
Boieses and the other busy B's will
hardly step aside and permit a dis
gruntled Republican to walk off with
the prize valueless though it is-
for whose possession they have been I
laying pipe and stretching wires for
years. Not if they know themselves,

There is-a great deal of agitation
going on at St Louis as to whether
or not the word "gold" should ap
pear ' in the Republican platform
We see little need for much time to
be spent over any choice of words,
Since the convention must declare
for sound money, based npon a sin
gle standard and that standard gold,
why not be as honest in phrasing as
it pretends to be in conviction.
New York is beginning to realize
it is net the controlling force in na
tional conventions as of yore. The
"Middle West is in ' the saddle and
will same the candidate. One of
the good results 1 of this transfer ot
power will be that New York's local
political squabbles cannot be foisted
upon the nation ( as has been done in
previous conventions. '
