endwise. Mr. Davis,, was not in the

fence, from which they broke away.
HOW OREGON STANDS.
A CtiTSH Of tha State Shows MoKlnley
In tie Lead.
A conservative estimate made by lead
ing Republicans, who have taken care to
carefully analyze the political situation
in Oregon, leads to the result first, that
the Republican electors will carry the
state, and, second, the plurality to be
gained will be represented by the major
ity given to McKinley and Hobart in
Multnomah county.
There has been a careful canvass made
of the entire state, not in a haphazed
way, and the returns indicate that Mc
Kinley will receive a far larger vote in
the first congressional district than was
given to Thomas H. Tongue, elected to
represent that district. The sound
money Democrats who will not vote for
Bryan will totally annihilate the votes
given last spring for Myers, while from
the Populist ranks, substantial gains for
honest money and protection are also as
sured. In the second district, Mr. Mc
Kinley will receive a handsome majority.
While it is admitted that Baker, Union,
Malheur and Wallowa counties, with
possibly Morrow, will give majorities for
Bryan, the excess of votes will be so
small as to be comfortably swallowed up
by the majorities given to the Repub
lican ticket in Clatsop, Colombia, Lake,
Wasco, Crook, Grant and Harney coun
ties.
In Wallowa county a noticeable change
of opinion 'is apparent. It is strongly
claimed that Bryan's majority there will
be less than that given Wade, who run
for state senator against McCully last
Jane. If so, the majority for the Popu
list candidate will be lees than 100, and
the Bryan supporters do not dispnte the
correctness of such figures.
In Baker county the Democrats now
are content to claim the county by 300
One month ago their figures were 800.
Farmer Geer will be there this week,
and by the time he gets through his
campaign. Baker county may be pat
down as doubtful.
In Umatilla county a very vigorous
campaign is going on. btate Senator
Price thinks the result will be about a
stand-off, with a chance for a slight Mc
Kinley majority. In this county there
is a sound-money Democratic organiza
tion, over 300 strong, not one of whom
will Cast a vote for Bryan. Some few
will vote for Palmer, but the great ma
jority will put their ballots where they
will do the most good, and therefore
vote for McKinley.
In Morrow county the situation is ex
tremely uncertain. The best advices
from there say that it is likely to go
twenty-five plurality either way, with
the chances in favor of Bryan. In
Crook, Wasco, Grant and Gilliam coun
ties there is no question of McKinley
gaining the day, while Sherman is con
sidered doubtfu1. Allowing every claim
made by the Populists, the counties
constituting the second district, outside
of Multnomah, give abundant promise
of a plurality for McKinley. Oregonian.

That Conflict of Dates.
Says Be Will Get Drank.
Since the Republicans and all thee
who desire the election of Wm. McKin
ley will choose to hear Hon. F. X.
Schoonmaker tonight, depriving them
of the gratification of their curiosity to
hear "Pitchfork" Tillman, we can prob
ably best indicate the tenor of his
speech tonight by quoting a portion of
his McMinnyille speech, made Monday.
Senator Tillman said : ''I am a temper
ance man. 1 only drink when I want
to. 1 have not been drunk since I was
11 years old, bat I will tell you now
that if Bryan is elected, I am going to
get drunk, and all of you want to do the
same." His whole line of argument
was about as elevating. -
The Democratic managers hero eer
tainly exhibit an alacrity that should
command the admiration of the world
The time tbat elapsed between the an
nouncement published in The Chron
icle alone that Schoonmaker's date had
been cancelled and the news that he
would fill it was one short hour. It was
ascertained so soon that the notice of
withdrawal was left ont of onr weekly
edition, which immediately followed the
printing of our daily edition. Can the
Mountaineer seriously claim that in this
short time correspondence had been had
between The Dalles, Portland, and Till
man, who was not in the state at tbat
time? The statement very naturally
challenges credulity. If they are in
earnest in their claim tbat they do not
fear that their forces will be converted
under Schoonmaker's great research and
logic, let them change Tillman's date.
It is a frail cause tbat must resort to.
smothering tactics. Let us hear both
orators. There is no need to fear the
great common sense of the people. We
do not.
As regards the conflict of dates of
Nov. 2d between Mallory and Barclay,
the Mountaineer is straining at a gnat.
The nigbt before election is like the eve
before a battle. Both sides are drawn
up in their respective strongholds, and
it is fitting they should hear words of
cheer from their respective generals. If
anyone's mind will be changed at tbat
late day, such a one will not make a
valuable soldier, for he is possessed of a
fickle'ness that might cause him to
change again on election day by the first
adverse influence. The Republicans
have not considered Nov. 2d more vain
able than any other day, else they may
have seenred tbat date as early as their
political opponents.
The following committee report will
be read with interest :
To the Board of Managers of The Dalles
Commercial Club :
Gentlemen We, your special com
mittee on Cascade Locks, beg to submit
the following report :
By an interview with Capt. Fisk, had
on the 17th inst., it was ascertained that
the work at Cascade Locks is nearing
completion, and that that officer has
made application to the proper author!
ties for permission to open and work the
locks as soon as possible after comple
tion. And it is also ascertained that
when the opening is announced it will
be for continuous use.
Also that the boats will 'be locked
through without charge, that item of
expense being provided for in the sun
dry civil bill.
Also that Capt. Fisk U providing
blanks and necessary papers for the 'of
ficers of boats to make report of daily
traffic through the locks and will iss
notice to the various transportation
lines to arrange their papers for trans
portation on the upper river, as by law
required.
The exact day of opening has not been
Bet, but we nave reasonable assurance
that it will be between the 1st and 15th
of November, and that in all probabili
ties we will have only a few days' notice
of time of opening.
We would ' therefore recommend if
agreeable with your views, tbat a gener
al meeting of the club be called to ar
range a program for the proper celebra
tion of this important event. Respect
fully submitted.

The first card party of the season was
enjoyed at the home of the MiBses Lay
last evening, when Miss Minnie enter
tained about forty of her friei.ds at
whist and hearts To say tbat the
rooms looked inviting in tbeir decora
tion of autumn leaves, does not express
it, tor after so long a time with no in
door amusements an invitation to take
full possession of snch beautiful parlors,
with such entertaining hostesses, is
more than appreciated. Six tables
were devoted to whist, while in the par
lor where hnng a large red heart. There
were hearts galore, at which game Mr.
F. W. Wilson was most successful and
Miss Clara Davis the least. At whist
Miss L-Hvnsdale of Salem showed her
skill to best advantage. ,
What pleased the guests most was to
find that a canvas had been stretched,
and most of the time after lunch was
spent in dancing to Miss Newman's ex
cellent playing.
The hostesses were more than success
ful in their efforts to entertain, and the
following who were present pronounced
it a most promising beginning of the
winter's pleasures:

A gentleman from Cripple Creek is
registeied at the Umatilla bouse who
states certain facta concerning the politi
cal sentiment of tbat troublous mining
camp which would indicate that anarchy
holds high carnival there. He says it is
impossible for a McKinley man to get
work in that place. Every branch of
labor, table waiters, miners or. clerks
are united into some sort of a union. The
chief qualification seems to be their
preference for Bryan, and do other can
join tho union or secure work. A be
liever in McKinley came there and con
cealed his sentiments for a while and se
cured work, but one evening the boys
got him drunk, and he revealed his real
sentiments. They rolled and beat him
and gave him three hours to leaTe town
Cases have been frequent where Mc
Kinley men have been thrown out of
work, leaving their families to suffer,

a reputation for intolerance second to
nothing in the annals of religious
bigotry.

which Is seven years old, stood the
strain of 140 pounds, not a single length
giving way under the pressure. The
new hose of the same brand, it is need
less to say, survived the ordeal without
damage. Under the experiment En
gineer Brown considers it unsafe to use
the White Anchor hose from the rjuU

Manufactured Sensations.
If the periodical sensation does not
mature every so often in our community,
our city is possessed of one or more in
dividuals who are capable of manufact
uring them. A few days ago tbe report
was circulated that Bryan was killed in
a railroad wreck in Michigan. That
lasted a few hours, and gave rise to
much speculation as to the heroism of
the Republican engineer, who martyred
himself, or the act of a pitying Provi
dence, depending on the point of view
from which it was contemplated. Tbis
morning tbe report was tbat the express
office bad been robbed, and the amount
accurately fixed at $22,000. Everyone
was looking for a strange individual
with a glittering eye and a black macin
tosh, and at the boat "tbis morning offi
cers were supposed to be biding in tbe
hold. Tbis sensation did not last very
long, for in a short time Agent Kurtz'
seraphic features were observed in all
their accustomed tranquility at the
usual hour, the window glass was seen
to be intact and the safe untouched.
Good Repoit From the I.ocks.
The work at the Locks is progressing
most satisfactorily. The stone necessary
to complete the north wall having all
been got out, the big force of stone cut
ters were discharged Saturday, with the
exception of three or four, who may be
needed for trifling details. Tbe north
wall will be laid by the middle of next
week. There is nothing then to stand
in the way of opening the locks, but a
sand bar at tbe mouth of tbe locks,
through which a channel ' must be
opened with the dredger. The new
scow which is to be fitted np with
the dredger apparatus, was luanched
yesterday, while the equipment is about
ready to place upon it. It is confidently
predicted that the locks will be open fir
business the first wet-k in November.
'vors the Home Product.
Last evening while in a corner brick
grocery store, a drummer from St.
Louis came in and I heard the following
dialogue. The drummer said to the
groceryman, "I want to sell yon some
vinegar." The groceryman said "I do
not want your vinegar. The fruit men
around Tbe Dalles make vinegar and I
prefer to patronize home industry.
When they cannot enpply me I will call
on you." If all the people in Oregon
were like that groceryman and would
buy home productions in preference to
the imported article there would be less
talk of bard times and scarcity of money
in Oregon. A. Resident.
Bepobllcans of White Salmon.
Mr. F. W. Wilson returned last even-,
ing from White Salmon, where he made
a political address of 90 minutes lensth
before the Republican club there. Some
125 were in attendance. The previous
afternoon, also was given over to a
speech by Hon. M. P. Isenberg. Both
speakers bad good audiences, tbe place
of business generally remaining closed
to enable all to attend. The Republi
can club there is in a most flourishing
condition. They have established bead
quarters in a large ball, and it is plenti
fully supplied with tbe best literature.
A careful poll of the place was made
some days ago, resulting in a vote of
fifty-six for McKinley and thirty-five for
Bryan, with some doubtful. The Re
publicans are trying to make arrange
ments for joint debate between M. P.
Isenberg and anyone whom the Popu
lists may choose to pat np against him.
