The Republican party of Oregon is for the gold standard. It is hardly necessary for the Chronicle to make this statement, because if it were not for the gold standard it would not be Republican. The Chhoniclb is a Re publican paper, supporting Republi can policies and - men who support them. The Chronicle does not agree with any petson that any difference that has existed in the ranks of the t t.i: . : . i. : - .. : uA xteuuulJCBQ party lu mis builc is cue result of disagreement on the parly questions. Any statement of this character is but a subterfuge used as & club to nut one faction out and another in ; to defeat one man for the senatorship and elect another man. The Chronicle does not believe that tbe election last summer indicated anything but a grand rally to Repub licanism. The result shows that the two iacuons soiiuiy voieu lur vue nominees, . burying' all disappoint ments and differences, if any. It is a fact, however, that both factions were rebuked at Astoria last spring. Tbe organization was wrested from one faction and given to the other, by a close vote, and then the "slate" of the victors was smashed to atoms by the placing in the field of a state ticket, mainly composed of men who knew no difference in the Republican ranks. In this particular, Mitchell ism and Corbettism can lay no claim to a victory. " ' Tbe Republicans of Oregon, if they -can have a. voice through their rep -Tesentatives, will follow the action at ..Aituiia ujr uiiii nil buc uuiuiug icgtciu -tare, significant of their . desire to bury all dislikes and disturbances, by Ihe election of a senator, competent to represent tbe people and free from factional taint. This grand result i - i i . . i . cannci oe accompusuca uy ice elec tion of either H. W. Corbett or John H. Mitchell. Neither can it be brought about by choosing eilher Joseph Simon or Solomon Hirscb. A new man must be selected. He shou'd be wholly in touch with all the great planks of the Republican platform; he should not be a youth in bis nonage; he should not be a palsied old man, with one foot iu the grave ; he should be a man of mature years, one that nas bad experience, . and above all free from contamination from Mitch lhsm or Corbettism. The Chronicle 'chooses as its candidate Hon. M. C. George, one over whom there an be no wrangle. He will lead yts to vie tory, if elected, and from every stand point would make an ideal selection. If the Republican senator .-. of . our district, and the representatives of this county, desire to represent their constituency they will hearken to their voices and follow no dirty flag of factionalism. .They will ignore bosses and cast their . vote for Hon. . M. C. George, or some ot'ier equally as good a man, in the hope of forever burying tbe deplorable differences in the ranks of the Republican party. .THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS. The legislator who is now on duly at Salem has an immense-responsibil ity imposed upon him. He owes an obligation to bis constituency, as well as to the members of his own party. 11 be keeps tn mind the best in terests of the people, he .will vote-for a man who has' every qualification lor senator, lie will take into con sideration the experience of the in dividual in public life and bis stand ing before the people. - That man must have some' qualification other than that he has "a barrel" which he has tapped v freely. He must be a 'man wfco does not parade ljoodlers all over the state with tf "grip" full of cash to pervert the w ill of the voter's. "What has II. W. Corbett to recom mend him but hi? money? Years ago in his prime, Mr. Cor bett made a very acceptable senator. But that time is long past . He is in firm, both bodily and mentally. It is a living disgrace to even attempt to impose him upon the people . of Oregon. - .... He has unfortunately allied himself with the worst element in Oregon. Graham Glass, a "sackholder" who boasts of bis ability to thwart the wishes of the voters, is at Salem, and states openly as long as he is there Mr. Corbett need not go. Attorney Joseph, who was arrested for corrup tion in Portland about two years ago, and who was saved from the "pen" by a hair's breadth, was showing mem bers "courtesies", in the metropolis yesterday, according to instructions. The Chronicle regrets that members do not know the reputation of these men and their assistants, else they would shun them. To be seen with them is damaging to the. .reputation of any member. And too, every member bo votes for Mr.Corbett,the man with the one qualification, will find himself under suspicion of having been, bought up like a swine at the pen. He may be honest in his convictions.but that will not relieve him from the stigma. Why not suprort a man . who has evervthing to endorse him for the senatorship ? The Chronicle's candi date, Hon. M. C. George, is sucb a man. He is sound on all parly ques tions, has had service in congress and is a distinguished member of tbe bar. He has no "barrel" and needs none. He is in the prime of manhood. He has no corruptionists banging to him. His support comes from the better element of the Republican party who want to lay down all factional strife and make a new deal. He is the natural selection, and the Chronicle believes will be chosen at Salem to complete tbe term left vacant by tbe "bold-up at Salem last winter. THE PROBABLE RESULT. The result of the organization yes terday at Salem indicates that H. W. Corbett is not the choice of the legis lature. To the majority of the yoters this is welcome newV. For the future welfare of tbe-Republican party such a result is sincerely hoped. -Simon carried his point in the sen ate. This was conceded.. He had suDDort from Republicans Who are openly opposedHo Mr," Corbett, hence there could be but one result in that quarter. -"".' " In tbe house a different' condition of matters exist. Maxwell, the open and avowed candidate of Simon for speaker, was turned down for Carter, the anti-Simon mn. The house has twice the membership of the senate, and thus in a senatorial contest is much more powerful body.- In the senatorial contest in . 1 895, Simon bad both houses in the organi zation, and yet with more Republi can representatives than exists in this legislature, Mr. Dolph was defeated. This paper regrets that - Mr. Dolph was beaten, however, and this inci dent is mentioned merely to prove to the Republicans of Oregon, who be lieve that our state should not be blighted by being misrepresented, that the election of Simon in the sen ate is no indication that Mr. Corbett has a walkover. Indeed The Chronicle believes tbat a broad minded, well-balanced man of mature years will be selected If such a man is not it will be because too many of tbe members have lis tened to the silvery voice of the god' dess, gold. This is a terrible imputa tion to make, bnt in the light of the iscts it is best to speak plain so that the readers of this parer will know hw and where to place the responsi bility If H. W. Corbett . is thrust upon them. They know that he is not the proper person to represent them ; that he is too old and childish. ' But a great effort is being made through the Glasses, the Josephs and the Sul livans, three types of "respectability" which are more often found -around legislatures and state penal institu tions than elsewhere, ,.10 'persuade" the Oregon legislature that, tbe man of one qualification is to' be the sen ator. Some, it lStrue, Tvill support him on principle, but they will stand under the charge-of having been un duly influenced, regardless of their position. ; . - r " . .. The Chronicle does not deem it necessary to say that a gold standard man must bexhosen. No other sort of a man will appty, because gold standard and Republican are syno nymous. The party stands plainly before the people on thai question. Hense it is idle to talk about the pos: sibility of selecting any other person except a Republican. With this idea in view, and with the idea of harmony in the party,' The Chronicle has not tound a more acceptable man than Hon. M. C. George, its candidate. His candidacy is meeting with gen eral favor everywhere. The Chroni cle believes tbat he will be chosen. IIou. John II. Mitchell will not he a candidate for the United States sen ate. He should not be, because his candidacy would not bring harmony into the racks of the Republican party, nt this particular time. Neither should Simon or Corbett come before the legislature for votes at this session. Simonism and Corbettism are as dis tasteful as any other kind of an "ism," not Republicanism, and all should be eliminated forever from Oregon politics. - The Oregonian seems determined to lie, and stick to it. tbat Jolin II Mitchell is a candidate lor the sen ate. "Mitchellism" is' its favorite club. With equal tenacity it clings to the aged Corbett, who at best, if elected senator, would do nothing more serious during his term than originate a first - class,v senatorial funeral, with himself as . tbe chief actor; . The Dalles, or rather this visinity, furnishes two victims for the mur der's club. One night recently Raj' Sink is killed at Salem and his re mains are found floating in the Wil lamette. : Robert Fulton is found in sensible near Wallah Walla, -suffering rwith terrible injuries, and died before recovering his senses. Robbery is at tributed as the object-in both cases The Republicans of Oregon do not want any faction to rule. They are heartily tired of factionalism. . They want a senator elected, but their choice is a man who has had nothing to do with'party; vows. , They want peace, and this can never be brought about unless conservative men are elected. ; Mr.- Corbett made the mistake, many years ago, . of attempting to buy bis way into the senate.: He was then senator and in the prime of life, but it seems that "there were others" and Mr. Corbett brought his cash in . to action, was caught, exposed and then gave op the fijht. "Baby" Jones, of Wasco county, has a promise of a place on tbe Tail road ' commission and is banging around Salem. He is no stranger to the lobbies, where he put in his time last session, instead of occupying his seat to which tbe voters had elected him. -- V ' . ' ' Larry Sullivan, the king of sailor.-; boarding-bouse keepers, is in Salem helping "de push" in line by putting before the members the; "qualifica tion" which is supposed to blind them and get their votes for Corbett Senator Taylor, of Pendleton, ought to make" a splendid president of the senate. He would please all factions. Eastern Oregon should stand for him? As a matter of fact, it is now con ceded tbat there will be no senatorial caucus. When this fails, Corbett's last chance goes glimmering. DENVER'S HOSPITALITY. Bow Four Hundred Newspaper People -; Were Entertained In that Bean- , ;, ' . - ' v tlfol City. .: ' . . ' . r ' The recent meeting of the National Bditorial Association at Denver did much to impress those of the delegates who were Eastern born and bred of. the genuineness and completeness of West ern hospitality. The citizens of Denver were successful in so completely capti vating the newspaper people and enter taining them that all 'are anxious to re turn and makelheir homes in such a goodly land,' Not only was the entire city, with Its' magnificent buildings, beautiful homes, lovely parks and grand surroundings, open to them, but the telegraph and postal lines were theirs to j communicate with friends wben desired.- Receptions, banquets, lunches, trolley rides and what not were given them, while tbe genial Western spirit was displayed through it all. . Not con tent with this, a member of the recep tion committee, Wolfe Londoner, went so tar as to fit out a baggage car with delicacies of all kinds, which was at tached to the special train in which was tnadeatiip through the Mate, The maoy favors extended to the party were entirely too numerous to mention, but will be retuembereJ and treasured by each individual. " '";""' Much has been said of this "Saratoga of the West," with Us 165,000 inhabi tants, but the half has never- yet been told, for it beggars description. Its buei ntBB blocks are among tbe finest to be seen in any city, many of them finished in onyx. -One hotel in particular, the Brown Palace, which cost $1,600,000, is built of brown stone, the interior being finished in the purest onyx. Even more beautiful and elaborate is the Equitable Life Insurance building. Its elegant homes, also, are mostly of brick and stone, while even the editors took notice of the fine church edifices, and 'discov ered that the city contained one hundred and twenty-two churches, more numer ous than anything except bicycles and divided ekirts. - :- Very noticable is the cleanliness of the streets and the absence of small shacks and objectionable looking build ings. Everything denotes wealth and enterprise, and amid such surroundings four hundred city and country editors enjoyed a week's visit. . The business sessions were not less successful than the social. There - were present men and women of the brightest intellects of the United States, (present company expected), who contributed papers and addresses, which aided great ly those less fortunate in experience and talents (present company excepted), and will prove of much benefit in their every day duties. The crowning day of the convention was election day, when wit and' wisdom vied with each other as candidate after candidate was placed before the conven tion bv ther enthusiastic friends, who in soaring . eb high, often: forgot from whence they came and neglected to mention the name of the would-be offi cer iu extolling his virtues. The climax was reached when, elections over, the place of the next in ee tine was to be de cided upon. After several, in eloquent terms, had told all they knew(and more) in favor of their particnlar city as the only place of meeting; - when from the ''Pacific to the tbe Atlantic and from tSe North to tbe Gulf" had been reiter ated and sung; when silver-tongued ora tor and stammering enthusiast had sounded forth the Draisea of his peculiar clime; when all had been said and Col. Pat Donan, so loyal to our Pacific coast and its every interest, modestly stepped to - the platform, his very presence seemed to speak more than all the elo quent words of tongue or pen, and as his genial countenance expressed Oregon's greeting no word was necessary. Before the speaker-had mentioned Portland, enthusiasm ran high and as all shouted ''Oregon," it was evident that our state was up to her old tricks and had won the day. If any think Oregon is not known broadcast over the United States he should have been present at tbat meeting. - V- - Perhaps Oregonians are too ardent in their admiration of their own, their -native land. Be that as it may, a trip through Colorado, which is bard to sur pass in grandeur of scenery, will prove they are not far wfong. A tour of the editors through Coloradowill be men- t'oned in some future number. ON THE ALLEYS. The Harried Ladles Wis) Lait Erenlng In . the Match at the Commercial Club. "..'--. - Saturday's Dally.'T . The tournament ' between', the single and married, ladies at the Commercial Club last evening was largely attended, and much interest was taken in tbe game by everyone. " . After a stubbornly contested match the married ladies succeeded in winning three of the four games, with, an ad vance of forty-nine . pins over their younger rivals. They did not . carry away all the honors, however, as Miss Alma Schanno was presented with a beautiful bouquet of carnations by Miss Lang for making tbe highest score, while' Mrs. Charles Phillips presented Mrs. Theodore Sen fert, the captain of the victorious team, with a beautiful bouquet.

K. OF P. DOINGS. Friendship Lo'de Mo. 9 RecelTes An Official Visit From Grand Chancellor Fatterion. Last evening, tbe occasion of the reg ular convention of Friendship Lodge No. 9, K. of P., was one much enjoyed, re ceiving at that time an official visit from Otis Patterson, Grand Chancellor of the domain of Oregon. Mr. Patter son is the present receiver of the land office of this ' place, and though he, wben chosen to fill the office of Grand . Chancellor,' was a. resident of Heppner, The Dalles now claims him as -her property, and as one of the new citizens of - The Dalles, he was right royally welcomed and entertained last evening. The Knights were most ably assisted by the members of the Rath hone temple of this place, and other ladiep, relatives and friends of members of- the order. ' . The members of Friendship Lodge, assisted by visiting brethren, received the brand Ubancellor in mystic style, of which our reporter is not versed, and after exemplifying the secret work and giving tbe members a few Pythian . thoughts, tbe lodge closed their secret session so tbat the ladies who were in waiting could be admitted. Dancing was indulged in till Judge Bradshaw called a halt in the festivities to adjourn to the banqueting ball, where tempting viands were spread in profusion. It is needless to say. that this feature of tbe occasion was very much appreciated. The arrangement of the tables and the general success of the banquet reflects "" much credit upon tbe ladies who planned tbe affair, and upon Mrs. Keller who had charge of the tables. Judge Bradshaw acted as toastmaster. The following toasts were responded to : The grand lodge of Oregon, Grand Chan cellor Patterson ; Friendship Lodge No. 9, J. A. Douthit ; The Uniform Rank, IT T4 'i A A t T-T amo ronontinno in lodge nights, C. L. Phillips; the endow-" ment rank, Prof. John Gavin ; the ladies of Rathbone Sisters, J. H. McKibben, editor of The Senator. Judge Bradshaw, the present grand inner guard, in bis most graceful man ner, presented each person and his al loted subject, and by his cleverness aided much in assisting the speakers, all of whom spoke extemporaneously. After a pleasant hour or more of danc ing, the Knights and ladies repaired to their respective homes, feeling that . Friendship Lodge and Temple had added another jewel to their Pytbian crown, lathe royal manner in which they had e itertained the grand chancellor. Beats the Klondike Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville,Tex has found a more valuable discovery than has yet been made in the Klondike. For years he suffered untold agony from consumption, accompained by bemmor rhages; and was absolutely cured by tionr Coughs and Colds. He declares that gold is of little value in comparison . with this marvelous cure ; would have it, even if it cost a hundred dollars a bottle.'
