While it has been comparatively easy to divide the offices moos the various political bodies rep resenting fusion, it will be far more dil- ficult to hold the different element together on election day. The repub lican need not fear the fusion ticket, if only the diiaention in our oreani cation can be made to cease. Now ii the time for republican leader to din play some unselfishness and give and take enough to effect a compromise whereby the full party strength can be asflured for tbe nominee. Thi date for the county republican convention if drawing near, and, aside from what appeared in this paper lt week, there ha been very little said in regard to candidate for the vaiious county offices to be filled at the June election. We are of the opinion that a better and more satisfactory ticket can be nominated when there haa been a full and free discussion of the merits of proposed candidate for reasonable time prior to the convention, and with tbi belief honestly in view is our rea son for publishing tbe name of people whom we had beard spoken of. When thi is don tbe delegate go to tbe convention with some idea as to whom their constituent prefer to have nom inated, and of tbe fitness and availi bility of the person whose name are placed before the convention. Harbison . Kincaid and C M. Donaldson are where they belong in tbe populist party. Tbe former has always been a scapegoat an anything for office and we do not know that the latter is entitled to any less severe criticism. It is due to the actions of just such jumping-jacka a these that Oregon is today in such imminent danger of political disruption. Prin ciple ha lone enough been (idetiscked for personalities and tbe republican party is now to be congratulated upon it loss of such timber. This anytbiog-for-office element should be relegated to obscurity, and tbe sooner the belter. It will not do to juggle with principle, and when any political party under take to maintain itself upon such slack and flimsy pretenses, then it merits tbe criticism it receives, and becomes an object lesson foi reflective minds to ponder o'er. Fo years, as all know, the greatest . question before the American people was tariff or no tariff, and strange as it may seem, not one word is uttered in its behalf or defense by the three beaded party. Republicans and dem - ocrata fought the battle of many cam paigns upon this issue, and now the subject is completely lost sight of by 11 oat the republican party. Of course there is no blame to attach to tbe as tion of the three-headed convention in this connection. Mr. Cleveland was elected president upon this issue; and what vm tbe result? Democracy and populism know better than to go be fore tbe American people again advo cating such a destructive theory as free trade. That theory wa thor oughly tested by our people from 1893 to 1897, and the test was anything but satisfactory. New and balf-batched theories are advocated, with the cher ished aaoie of republicanism attached, hoping to deceive the people, and gain precipitate our coon try to the level of paupeiism from whence it is now only recovering after a four-years' trial of destrnctive democratic theories. It is a sad misnomer upon the fair name of republican that certain peo ple class themselves as "free-silver-republican." Where is there one par agraph in tbe platform upon which tbe three-headed nominee now stand that bear any relationship to the re publican platform of 1896 T And still these people aim to deceive the voter by "tacking to their kite the word re publican. There certainly mast be something in a name. These people still embrace it as worthy of relation ship. They certainly do so with the full appreciation of tbe fact that no party within our history ha every done so moch good for the American people, and were it not for their affin ity for office they would cling to the name and the party. Tbey sacrifice principle with reluctance, but their eagerness for office far overcomes their better judgment, and they are known and numbered among the element clamoring for office, yet cherishing the name of tbe party which has long done them honor as a means to squeeze into power by deception and fraud. Tbe intelligent voter will consider all these things before he casts hi ballot, and when tbe time comes he will regis ter bis disapproval in no unmistakable way. ,. ' . The importance of the presence of every republican at the primaries in . ths several precincts tomorrow is equaled only by your presence at the polls on election day. It is your duty to be on hand and raise your voice and register your ballot for or against whom you consider would best repre sent you in the nominating conven tion to be held at Clatakanie on next Wednesday. Tbe central committee lias made it possible, as nearly as it could, for the weaker precincts to be more than equitably represented in the convention, believing it to be a stimulant to tbe voters to renew their efforts in increasing the vote of th precinct, in one sense, and in another way to allow those who are separated from the busier section of tbe county the opportunity of getting out among tbe people, thus learning and aeeipg the temper of the people in regard to niobium. It 1 a duty you ow your self a a republican, a duty you owe your country, to be present. Not then is your full duty discharged. Be that other attend tbe primaries person who principle are good, whoa sym pathies ar with you, but whose sge, business, or other matters, might be su.cn as would keep ibem away. I n vail upon tirem to attend the primaries tomorrow, and thus you pay in part tne debt of your lull duty. TNC COUHTT COMENTIOK. The county republican convention for Columbia couuty meets in Clats- kani next Wednesday, and at their meeting there is much important work to do. As republicans, standing upon a platform of protection, sound mouey and sound principles principles laid down in the St. Louis platform we do not seek an alliance with any other party or parties for office. There is more honor in defeat while standing firmly for what ws believe to be right, than in victory gained by abandoning everything except a desire) for a grab into the public crib. A republican we bave a plain duty to perform in nominating a good ticket. Men should be selected for office who can be relied upon as straight republicans, and who have not been engaged in trades and swsps in order to further their own ends. Our plain doty is to nominate ticket carrying with it first, principle; second, boner; third, ability to meet the requirementa of their duties; fourth, men morally and intellectually equal to, all emergencies, and men wbose past record guarantee tbeir success in th election. Jo the party there are many such nti, and the nomination of just such people it a duty the convention owe the party. Tbe republican party must make its mind up to tbe fact right now that it will be called upon to do battle against every element in onr slate and county which for year haa individually and collectively striven to defeat it, and especially this year, when all elements are particularly combined on a general crusade against tbe party in the hope of getting the offices. Dictatorship should be stubbornly opposed, and ths delegates meet with but one purpose- that of naming a ticket carrying witb it the greatest strength. Acting wisely upon the dictates of good judgment, w believe the dele gate will assemble with the avowed determination of taking just such ac tion as has been suggested above, and it is tbs duty of tbe voters to see to it in the primaries that men are sent to the convention who may be depended opon to carry these ideaa into execu tion. The republicans of this county, through their4 delegates, should go to the convention next Wednesday with the determination of nominating a county ticket composed of good .straight republicans, and if they do, tbe ticket will certainly win easily when pitted against a conglomeration of ism mixed up into fusion. Tab state republican convention soon to meet in Astoria will be called upon to nominate a ticket to present to the people of this state, a ticket carrying with it every element of per fection, stability, and strength. As all voters know, much depends upon tbe bead of that ticket named. Tbe man who is honored with the nomination for tbe state's executive needs be s man of sound principle and clean record. Tbe republicans of Columbia county bave a person in view who em bodies all these requisites, and noth ing eeuld give thera greater salisfac- tioa than tbe nomination for governor of Hon. T. T. Geer, of Marion county. Mr. Geer needs no further recom mendation to the people. We know bim well. We bave watched bis political life, and there is not one blot upon it. As an earnest, conscientious worker Mr. Geer haa no superior in the state. His principle is unwavering and unqualifiedly republican in all the term indicates. Mr. Geer is a man of the people. Ha is, ss we all know, but a plain, blunt farmer, but a man of unquestionable ability and vigor. He has fought the battle of more tban one campaign in this state, and is known in every nook ana corner witnin us borders as a man of sterling qualities and fixed integrity. Mr. Geer bss not identified himself with either of tbe contending factions of tbe state, and we-boaestly believe him to be tbe strongest man tbs party could name. We w isb to repeat that no act of tbe state convention could give more gen eral satisfaction to the people of Co lumbia county than tbe nomination for governor of Mr. Geer. If tbe con vention acts wisely it will place Mr. Goer's name at tbe bead of th ticket. ARC THET SIHCEREt Tbe wueation as to sincerity of pur pose of thoss elements now combined in this state to defeat tbe republican party has been repeatedly asked on onr streets within tbe last few days ; whether the "unionists" are entitled to tbe same degree of respect and con fidence at the band of their oppon ents as is either the old democratic party or tbe straight-out populist party. As far as the individuals are con cerned, no republican would deny tbsm tbs full enjoyment of their hon est convictions. Each individual f un ionist knows full well whether or not be is honest witb himself and society. Ha knows lust as surely whether be believes any part are all of the plat form of the populist party, which be espouses; he knows just as well whether bs has joined tbe "reform movement" in order to satisfy a grudge against tbe old party which contained more good men tban offices. These are matters of individual conscience, but when thy are settled to the satisfaction of the individual, tbs stubborn fact re main, that you must be known by the company you keep, and that tbe lead ing element in the new party is com posed of disappointed office-seekers, who bave been either nominated again and again, only to be defeated at the polls, or else those who bave been in tbe democratic or republican conven tions, year after year, only to fiad that their fvllowmen have preferred to nom inate some other man for the office. Add to this list the one remaining con tingent, the newspapers, which would reap their small bsrvsst by a success ful "fusion, and we have the comple ment of the "reform" shin whose officer ar claiming to man a a ship oi suu. Were the issue of free and unlimited coinage of silver the subject or and dear to th heart of th "reformer why doe lis not ally himself with the populist party, which is avowedly the party of silver legislation T Sincerity is foreign to the object of tne movement, and no amount of sin cerity on tbe part of certain Individ ual osn excuse them for their present effort to throw down their former friend. It wont work. The Dalle Chronicle. THE CAUSE OF FtlSIOH. One ot tbe prime reasons leading up to a complete fusion of political par ties lemocrats and populists m tbi county and state this year, is the faot that the leaders of those parties know full wall it would be. the sberest folly to go before tbe people siugl banded in the face of the improved condition of financial and commercial affair. The combination which aought to en tangle tbe masses in a snare of this sort realised that tbe people of this state are no longer in a condition to give heed to their theories. There has been a change ot heart with thous ands of people in this conneotion within tbe last year, a change against the whims and isms ot this fusion ele meut, which in 1896, through th mis representation of facts, came so near carrying onr slat over tbe' precipice of disaster, and the change has been for the better in tbe way of finance aad trade with thousands and thousands of people, who a year and a half ago were ready to listen to anything that promised relief from the turmoil of democratic free trade and disaster. "All weU that end well," and in the success of the republican ticket all has ended well for the country in th vigorous prosecution of the policies outlined by the administration. What more could tbe voter tbe majority of whom in this state are farmers ask in the way of extrication from the mire of democratic misrule than has been their lot during the last year, and which promises even better in th year at present at nandr Uould a more en oouraging condition of affair obtain f Could any political party do more in carrying out successfully what it ad vocated and promised' If we are able to look the facta squarely in the face and pas th judgment of an unpreju diced mind, we ay no. Admitting that extreme northwest counties of Oregon, comprising Colum bia, Ulataop and Tillamook counties, bave not felt the good effect of tbe change quite so distinctly and sod dsnly as havs the eastern and south ern parts of our state, but we make tbe statement here without fear of suc cessful contradiction, that this section of Oregon stands today in commercial and business condition, 60 per cent better off tban it was at the close of the Cleveland free trade administra tion. These counties are just now upon the verge of the fullest enjoy ment of a lively business period. Sections of Oregon which produce the first requirements are the first, certainly, to be first benefited, and here u where. Columbia county, with th other named, fall short of ether section of th state. We, of neces sity, must depend upon a demand for our product lumber, shingles snd wood and ths saioyment of hustling business conditions big crops and re publican price for grain, wool and cattle in lb sections producing these article must certainly reach us at once throng b a demand for onr products. In tbe eastern part of our state there is such an era of prosperity as haa not bad an equal since the Cleveland party went into power five years sgo, and their success is causing tbsm to call upon ns for tbe material to carry eat tbeir plans for improvement. Tbis is only local demand, but it is fast being followed by a foreign de mand, which is keeping our mills busy day and night to supply. Our forests are teeming with busy woodsmen en deavoring to keep the supply of logs in reach of the demand at prices al most doable those prevailing under that cherished Wilton free trade law and which our democrrtie and popn listio friend so completely ignore in tbeir county and state platform. There is a demand for all thsse prod nets. Why Because our general government now has a policy that af ford protection to our industries and gives our farmers and manufacturers an opportunity of disposing of their product at such figure at to again place thera upon a sound busioett footing, and we all know what that meant tbe expenditure of million of dallars in local improvements. Witb all these facts staring popu lists and democracy boldly in the face is there any wonder that a complete fusion bas been entered into, a com plete sacrifice of principle and organi zation. Farmers bave something else to bony their minds and bands tban listening to the calamitous wail of demagogues and soreheads, who bave bnt one purpose riding into office. Unlee there can be something done to stop the great tide of prosperity now weeping over tbe country tbe ene mies of th policy of protection to home Industrie know their doom is sealed. Our citation of these instances is made merely to show the imminent danger in which th opposition stands and the cause of the alliance formed. Prosperous Morrow County. Tbe sheep and wool industry of Morrow county is now In a blgbly prosperous con dition, and all because of a protective tar iff. During tbs past month or two offers bave been mads at Heppner of 14 and 14.25 for straight swes before shearing and lamb ing. There are 300,000 sbsep in Morrow county, and 100,000 of tbsm will, right after shearing, be sold aad driven East Tbey will bring at Heppner $2.50 and I 8 a head, after letting go of 10 pounds of wool, wblcb is going to sell at Heppner at 10 to 16 cents a pound. Wool is not consigned there now as It used to be, but is sold, sorted and baled on ths spot. Last year's crop brought 8 to 13 cents. Tbs winter bas been very mild, aad there bare been no stock losses and no check to tbs growth of wool. Tber will be baled In Morrow county tbis year (,000,000 pounds. Shearers will bs paid 0 cents a bead, and the work will last six weeks. Fast workers sbear 150 besd a day, and all good crews will average 100 head a day.

That there art sorut men In the populist party, populists from principle, U lelf-evt-dsnt by ths action of 18 of thorn at the late oonventlou, who wttlksd out of th mast ing, and forthwith proceeded to nrganis a populist party for ths state t Oregon, snd aomlnat a ticket composed ot men who are not spoils hunters. ' Tbs men who took this action are tbe recognised leaders ot th true populbt party of this state, and their following will per hspi amouut to 0000 or 8000 votes In the stats. After sixteen of these men bad as sembled In a ball by themselves they were soon joined by enough more to luoreas ths nusaber to 39, when tli work ot ornauira lion began with vigor by speeches from th most prominent men In tbe party, among them being Dr. J. W. Hill, of Albany. Tb doctor said: 'Get oat a good, stiff, strong statement ol why we ar populists and not democrats, Th r'emocratlo party has eaten the fusion populists op. They have disappeared from th stat ot Oregon, but tbe populist party still lives and will lire. W fought t establish Its principles, and now, when ws bar gained a good voting strength ws ar met with th domsatto treachery that would yield every advantage wsbave gained and merge our exlstene with tint which destroys. Qiv th people cbano to say whether tbey will vote for the peoples party or tbs demo-pop prodigy that Is being now launched by oui erstwhile frltads." John 0. Young, chairman of the populist stat central committee, who wa with th bolting populists, said: . "I bar no question in my mind that af ter th natienal eommtttoe meets we will be recognised by that body a th regular pop. nlist party of the state of Oregon." . Tb general belief of those assembled was that there was no hop ot winning this year. Their great thought was to preserve their party organisation. Tber could be no doubt tbat fusionlet would be tb ob jeot of a bitter attack a any otbtr polltt eat party. A stat ticket was pat forth by tb ruid- dle-of-the-roaders Saturday. Th conven tion also issued an address to th voters of tbe state asking endorsement of their work. gome of the state offices were not BUed but will be attended to later oa by tbs ex ecutire commit tea. The middle-of-the-roaders will not asssmbl again in state eoavention this year, but th distrlot dsle gatss wherever desirable, will be gathered together to get oat their ticket. The ticket as it now stands is as follows: Governor, John C. Lace, of Grant; secre tary of state, Ira Wakatield, ot Jackson; state treasurer, J. K. Sears, ot Polk; su perintendent of public Instruction, J. E. Hosmer, Yamhill; suu priator. D. L. Grace, Harney; congressman, first district, i. L. Hill, Albany. Th office ot suprtrns judge, attorney general and congressman from the second district were passed over temporarily. Th middle-of-the-roaders said tbey were looking only to reorganisation. Tbey were tired of fusion, silvsr and democracy and every semblance of the two old parties. Gold Democrat. The gold democrats of Oregon bare not yet fully mads up their minds to place a state ticket in th field this year, but In all probability they will. They say tbey will await the action of the Ute republican con- Tea tion, as there will then be sufficient Urns to get their ticket on tbe official ballot should they decide to nominate one. Tbis class of democrats cannot be depended upon to support the ticket nominated at tbe three-headed convention any more than tbey supported Mr. Bryan In 1808. " Thry sdbere closely to tbeir true democratic doctrine, and especially when it comes to wallowing tb free silver pill it is tbea that their principle is Uo deeply touched. Tbe same sentiment prevails among democrats in this county, we believe. at Heppner went down te 8 cents, and very little demand at tbat, and sheep dropped from 12.50 to $1 a head, and no sale, and lambs went down to 75 cent. Now lambs can be contracted for fall delivery at 12. Th storting of tb big driv from Hep aer cause considerable animation, and all tb traveling outfits are bought tber. Th shsep ar grassd along by asy stage until within a day's railway travel of th Chicago market, and are kept in good condition there and are driven to slaughter as demand requires. ' Judge W. P. Duttoa, on of th founders of Morrow county, ssya that that whols ra tion is very prosperous. He brought to Portland a few carloads of his old ewes and sold tbsm at 12.85 a bead. Orexonian, 28th.
