SUltSCKlPTION, $1.60 I'KR YEAR. MR. FACING-BOTH-WAYS. St. Hki.kns, Novemukr 4, 1892. Nkxt Tttetdiiy is election duy. careful of your ballot." "Be THE DEMOCRATIC JOB. The substitution of the name of NsthmiTloroo by tlio atiilo democratic central committee for that of R. A. Miller on the electoral ticket is one of greatest deceptions ever known in Ore con politics. The object of this scheme is plainly visible to nil intelli gent people. There can be but one object in view, mid that is to secure for Piece the combined support of both the peoples and democratic par ties, and should the two together have majority over some one of the re publican electors it would elect Pierce s a Weaverelector.and thus take one vote away from Harrison. Tins is a fact that the democrats themselves do not deny but chuckle over, while the peoples party are apparently glad to be recognized by the democrats to this extent. This change being made at such a late day and being accepted by Mr. Pierce is a coufession by the pco plea party leaders that they have no hope of electing Weaver and are pool . ing issues with the democrats to defeat Harrison at any sacrifice. If, as was intended by the democratic managers, Pierce name appears twice on the bal- lot,having two numbers aud having to go on the tally sheets twice to any other elector's once, it will create confusion and make the ballot thus counted clear ly illegal, as is proven by section 49 of the election law, which says very explicitly that "the name of each per son nominated shall be printed upon the ballot in but one place." In strict accordance with the above provision the republican clerks of the elate have had the ballot printed, while the democratic clerks have vio lated this section of the law and caused Pierce's name to appear twice on each ballot. Owing to the fact that in many counties the ballots had already been printed before this change was made by the democrats, it has been ueces- sary to have the ballots reprinted, at a cost of from 915.O0O to 120,000 to the state, and Columbia county suffers its proportion of this ancalkd for ex pense. This fraud perpetrated by the democratic state central committee is so plain that no one should be de ceived by it on election day. THEY DIDN'T HELP SAVE IT. There is one thing, says the Chicago Tribune, which sticks in the throats of old "vets" who were democrats that they cannot get over, bat keeps in their minds and they are unable to forget it, and their sons are thinking of viz.: That Grover Cleveland and Adlai Stevenson, both large, strong, able-bodied men, refused to volunteer to help save the Union, but hung back and acted politically with the copper head party of those days. Another point is that both were drafted on the same day, bat still refused to fight for the Union, and hired substitutes from substitution brokers and remained at home, grumbling and growling at Lin coln's war against their Southern brethren, and voting the copperhead ticket to stop the war and let the Union slide. And another thing that sticks in the craws of Western demo cratic ex-soldiers and their sons is tint Adlai Stevenson, of Illinois, not only refused to fight to save the Union, but ran for the office of presidential elec tor on the democratic ticket in 1864, on a platform pledged to stop the war for the Union and let the South go, or a boundary line to be drawn by demo cratic and confederate commissions. That is his record : it is undenied and cannot be rubbed out. The demo cratic ex-soldiers and their voting sons find it troublesome to reconcile their consciences in voting for Adlui Steven son for the vice-presidency ss a reward for his disloyal and perfidious conduct in the days that tried men's souls. A DEMOCRAT'S IDEA 0E POLITICS , At democratic headquarters in Port land Tuesday there was a big and ex cited crowd during the evening and far into the night, says the Oregonian. Every democrat who dropped in had something to say for or against the withdrawal proposition. While the unamity of sentiment seemed to favor the "anything-to-beat-Harrison" policy of the state committee, there was a general expression ol fear that with drawal of the entire ticket would result in utter disorganisation of the demo cratic party. I)r. L. P. Mullinix, of Astoria, was a leader of the pro-withdrawal side of the discussion, and his remarks Were frequently interrupted by queries that sometimes staggered him. He saidi "The situation; gentlemen, is just this ; we cannot help Grover by voting for him, but we can hurt Harrison by voting for someone else. Now, to beat the republican party I would vote tor the blackest nigger ever born n ye, I would even vote lor Mrs. Lease. I am a democrat and have no use whatever for the populists, but if we can use them to beat Harrison, let us use them." Comment is unnecessary, Mr. Nathan Pierce, the populist can didate for presidential elector, who does not decline the democrat io nomi nation "as elector for Cleveland mid Stevenson," is the great Mr. Fauing-Both-Waya of llio UimUilla tribe in this campaign. Americans of all parties ad mire a man who stands up lor his prin ciples, and they have contempt for any man who in his greed for votes poses as the representative of all sorts of politics. Mr, Pierce maintains silonce, hoping to get the votes of the peoples party while the leading democratic paper of the state assures the democrats that 'Tierce is all right." The chances are that Pierce's name will be scratched, as it ought to be, both by the people ptrty and the democrats, as a rebuke to this attempt to sacrifice principle to personal am bition for success. The indorsemnt of Pierce by the democratic state com mil tee shows that tho democratic managers Know that a vote lor Wea ver is a vote for Cleveland, and they therefore encourage jnoples party re publicans to vote for Weaver. On the other hand, the solid democrats who believe in democratic principles will refuse to be parties to any bargain by which their votes are to be delivered to Mr, Piorce. They will resent the attempt of the etato committee to transfer their votes like merchandise, and will assert their manhood aud de votion to democratic principle by vot ing only for candidates who have the courage to announce their principles one way or the other. Mr. Face-Both Ways Pierce will not get the votes of two parlies by his policy of cowardly silence. In proof of this read the fol lowing newspaper comments on this latest attempt to deceive voters : BACEIFICS OF PRINCIPLE FOR POWER Independence West Side (Ind.) The man who stands up for his principles is to be admired, but the u-an who will throw away principles and fight fur sctfsli power is to be despised. In this line what do our readers think of the action of K. A Miller, the diuoc ratio presidential elector who resigned in favor of Pierce, a peoples parly elector? Is it not a sacrilice of prin ciple for power, and has the democratic party as a party descended that low? We think not, and democrats of principle will condemn the action of Mr. Miller or the state democratic central committee. MAY NOT APPEAR SO PRACTICAL. Sulem Capital Journal. The democratic papers call putting Na than Pierce on their ticket "practical poli tics." It may not appear so practical after election. There may have been a timo when a democrat could indorse a peoples parry candidate, but he cannot do it at present, unless he id ignored or unprinci pled, and stand upoa his platform. That is not practical," if it is called so. Daily Oregonian. Yet Mr. Pierce and his populist confreres assert by their inaction that he is justified in claiming third-party support while al lowing himself to remain a democratic noainee. He may, and probably will, maintain silence until the polls close, but he will find that the democratic votes cast for him will hardly olfcet the defection created in the third party by his conduct, The populist vote is largely made up of old soldiers. Until Cleveland's shameful treat ment of the pensioners is atoned for it will be difficult to convince these men that it is their duty to assist in his election in any way, much less to support Nathan Pierce, "nominated as an elector for Cleveland and Stevenson ," an. tacitly standing upon the Cleveland platform. At republican state headquarters there is constant receipt of proof that the demo cratic adoption of Pierce, and his contin ued silence on the subject, is playing havoc with the populist strength. Republicans who embraced Weaveritm, believing in its sincerity, are returning to the old party by the score, and are manifesting disapproval of their betrayal by working most energet ically against the ticket which they were supporting a week ago. Letters from al most every county in the state show the revolution is general and formidable. . THE MIST AND THE BOYCOTT. , We notice in the Clatskanie Chief of last Friday a letter signed R. 8. Hattan, in which he says; "We under stand that at tho last session of the grand jury of this (Columbia) county there was complaint made against W A Wood on a charge of trying to boy' cott a paper known as The Okkoon Mist. : - , ' Xow it is whining about being boy cotted. We didn't boycott it. Mr. Wood simply read some resolu tions censuring the actiou of that pa per," etc. Now, let ns see what Mr. Wood said In the Clatskaoiu Chief of July 13, 1S92, we extract us follows (verbatim) from a letter signed W. A. Wood ; "A; tome resolutions passed, they were drawn up by one of Columbia county V oldest and most respectable citizens, and I had the pleasure of presenting them to the audience of some 300 people, not one raised his voice in re moustrunce. Furthermore these reso lutions were passed at the evening meeting held at Merrill's hall, and not at the afternoon meeting when Wea ver spoke." There (cems to be a discrepancy be twecn these apostles of the great and good peoples parly. Mr. R. S. Hal tan seems to be culling into question FREE-TRADERS THINK SO STILL In a free competition for ths market of the United Btatos, the wages of manufac turing labor In the Northern States must be reduced at least as low as the wages of labor in Knglund.

Speech of Kree-Trade Congressman Mcl)ume,of South Carolina, IMi Workingmcn who wish to maintain wages should carefully consider the above, and then vote for the protective tariff under which wages have in creased so largely since 18(0. INTERESTING TO DEMOCRATS. Referring to the democratic commit tee's attempt to to transfer tho votes of Oregon by indorsement of Nathan Piorce, populist candidate for presi dential elector, the Ashland Record a peoples party organ, says: It means that the Orcgou democracy are coming over to the only real, pure, old- fashioned democrutio principles and will cast their ballots for the peoples artv elec tors. All are welcome, (let In line with the good cause. It is never too late to re pent and take up tho good work.

Mr. e. intention w to amend some of Hattan says "we didn't boycott it," aud that Mr. Wood "simply read some resolutions censuring the action of that paper," thus in a public and most unmistnkablo manner branding Mr. Wood as a liar. We arc most inclined to believe Mr. Wood's statement, for the reason that, being published over his own signature and couched in language so plain that uo one could fail to understand, and so soon after the adoption of those resolutions, Mr. Wood was present at that meeting and knew just what part he took in this matter and knew just what he was writing about when he wrote the let ter from which the above excerpt was made. We advise Mr. Huttan that he is treading on dangerous ground. As to the statement that a complaint the popular ills which neither of the older parties seemed inclined to re move. I never meant to be a demo crat, however, and when I realised that by voting the Weaver ticket, with Pierce's name upon it, I would imli reetly be voting for Cleveland, I re turned to republicanism. Others are following my example every day.

VOTE FOR AMERICAN PROSPERITY. The London Spectator, commenting on the political situation in the United States, and speculating cn the result of the presidential campaign, says: "A repnblican victory in the coming election would retard for a lonjr time the progress of the commercial doc trines that underlie tbe commercial greatness of Great Britain and alone maintain British ascendency." Americans who believe in maintain ing the prosperity of America rather than the "ascendency" of any foreign country at tbe expense of the pros perity of American institutions should make a note of the foregoing opinion as to the effect of the election on the commercial "ascendency" of our great est commercial rival. Let every republican of Columbia county do bis full duty on Tuesday next by going to the polls and casting his ballot for John F. Caples and Da vid M. Dunne of Multnomah county, George M. Irwin of Union county, and H. B. Miller of Josephine county. tbe regular nominees of the republican party in Oregon for electors for presi dent aud vice-president. The democrats are rattled.
