Tli campaign is orer and we are
highly pleated with tbe result, se
the defeat of Mr. Meserve, whom we
labored earnestly and boaestly to elect.
bat failed. Tlisro bae been some
unpleasant Jtiings aaid by as, bat not
by desire, only from necessity. It had
been our purpose not to indulge in
personalities in the campaign just
ended ; neither did we desire to say
but kind and friendly things of the
candidate on tbe opposition ticket,
bet there had been so much abuse
heaped upon as and the cso.did.ttes oa
the ticket we were supporting that wo
jelt and believed it to be but simple
justice to ourselves and our friends
to buckle on our armoi and defend
out rights. We wish to apologise to
our many friends in Columbia county
who have bourne with ns during the
campaign, and pat np with so much
politics instead of more news, but we
beleive we were but doing the part of
Justice in devoting so much time and
space to tbe matter, from the fact that
we considered tbe issues of great im
porUnce, insofar as there were ques
tions at iea-ite which merited strong
nnd hearty defense. We were either
to support Mr. McKinley in his ad'
ministration of public sflatrs, or repu
diate his acts, and the result of Moo
day's' election has demonstrated con
clusively that the people hate not
only endorsed the policy of the admin
istration, but that policy has beeu
sanctioned by more than two to one
as compared with the vote of Novenj
ber,183&
Our newly-elected governor, Hon.
T. T. Geer, is a man who can be de
pended upon to not only administer
the affairs of state in a legitimate and
straightforward manner, but he can
be depended upon to do his full duty
as a war governor. The entire repub
lican ticket is elected at majorities
ranging from 3000 to 10,000, and not
only is this the case, but two congress
men sre elected who can be depended
upon to set in perfect accord with the
Ideas and wishes of President McKin
ley and the perpetuity of the gold
standard.
Oregon, it will be remembered, has
within the last year, produced and sold
"about 18,000,000 bushels of wheat at
prices Dot equalled for the past five
years, and not only has this been the
ease, but nearly every product of the
slate, including cattle, wool, sheep,
and other products, has doubled in
quantity and price, and as a result of
these enormous yields and high prices
the hue and cry of hard times and low
prices has been exploded. It has been
condemned in terms not soon to be
forgotten by the people of tbe stale.
The parties in opposition to tbe re
publican party in this state realized
that unless a union of forces could be
entered into there would be no possi
ble chance of defeating tbe republican
party, and to this end their labors were
earnestly centered. Their plans failed
completely, and tbe result is s just re-
buks to all attempts at fusion.
We do net condemn any man. It
is but tbe ideas he may have advanced.
Because we differ from bim as regards
politics we have no legitimate right to
say he is a bsd man. If We can per
suade a man to vote our sentiments,
all well and good ; if we cannot, then
w humbly submit to the will of tbe
majority. We are not so narrow as to
sy because an opposing parly has suc
ceeded in carrying its idess to a sue
0
ceas that the country is entirely ruined.
We may believe that the policy of that
party it not the best for the country,
hut ws do net believe it the part of
common judgement to say that be
cause (hose policies bave been adopted
the country has beeu eternally runiued.
Such talk is foolishness, There is too
much combined interest ia our coun
try, our home, and our welfare as a
nation of people, to see our interests
absolutely trodden under foot, Amer
icans are too rendy to change their
ideas and vote the dictates of their own
conscience to permit the idea to pre
vail that that party, which ever it may
be, will entirely end absolutely rulu
tho country.
The most striking illustration of this
fact is seen when we remember how
readily tbe people of tbe United States
voted a change of policy after four
year's trial of free trade. It worked a
hardship upon tbe American people,
and there is a spirit of too much in
dependence about tbem to long sub
mit to or permit a policy to exist wbisb
is not to their best interest, and in the
campaign of 1896 our people rose up
by hundreds of thousands and said
there must be a change.
We are individually the guardians
of our country's best interests. We
all love our country dearly, and will
defund it with our life's blood, if nec
essary. That spirit is characteristic of
the Yankee nation, and with tbe same
spirit in view the people of the slate
of Oregon on Mouday walked to tbe
ballot box and there said that the
policy of our country, as outlined and
adopted by the present republican ad
ministration, should be maintained.
As to Columbia county, we are
highly pleased with the result. Of
course, one man on the ticket was de
feated, but it was tbe will of tbe people
and their word ia law. We congratu
late Mr. Rice upon his success, and
hope be will do bis full duty, aud
merit the confidence reposed in him
by tbe people who know bim best. It
was not that Mr. Meserve is a bad man
that he was defeated, neither was it on
account of his unpopularity. Both
the gentlemen in the contest were
very popular, but Mr. Bice had served
the people of Columbia connty one
term as sheriff, snd the people of tbe
county have endorsed the manner in
which he conducted the offioe.
Mr. Walla' popularity and the con
fidence reposed in him by the people,
and his integrity, made his success
possible. On the clerk, as was the esse
with the sheriff, the combination was
solid, and Mr. Henderson developed
great strength.
Tbe issues helped on tbe legislative
ticket. Dr. Hall was a comparative
stranger in this part of the couuty.and
it was a good showiog on the part of
the republicans to elect the represen
tative. Dr. Ros, for treasurer, should
certainly be proud of his vote, because
his opponent is a man of character,
ability, and standing. Mr. Frakes re
ceived a vote that should certainly
make him feel that he had conducted
tbe affairs of the county in such a
manner as to merit tbe approval of
voters in all parties. It is apparent
that tbe people of Columbia county
knew when tbey had the right man in
the commissioner's office, and tbey in
tended to keep him there.
As to tbe assessor, we have but the
kindliest feeling for Mr. Moullon, but
Martin White, without exception, is
the best assessor this county ever bad,,
and bis majority of 200 shows bis pop
ularity and ability. Mr. Copeland, al
though a stranger in politics in this
county, made a splendid race, and be
will, without doubt, prove bis ability
to conduct the superintendent's office
in a businesslike manner. Dr. Mc
Laren, too, for coroner, made a splen
did showing, and will continue to
make a good coroner.
We bave not intentionally neglected
to mention tbe large vote of Judge
Moore, Judge lit Bride, and Mr. Clee
ton. Tbe former certainly was de
serving of a large vote because of the
ability be has displayed in the con
duct of bis office. The same may be
said of Judge McBride, and as to Mr.
Cleeton, against whom there was an
enormous opposition, it is to be said
that he did exceptionally well. He
carried every county in this district,
even tbat of bis opponent, Clatsop
county, and ia the district bis majority
is 650.
Bepubiicans throughout tbe county
are highly gratified and express the
same feeliog. It has shown that tbe
people yet have faith in tbe ability of
the republican party to administer the
a flairs of stats in a proper and satis
factory manner.
As a sample of what faith the peo
ple of this state have in the gold stand
ard, tbe next legislature will be forty
majority on joint ballot. And there
ia something else, too, for republicans
of this state to take into consideration,
which is the fuel that since the legis
lature is so overwhelmingly republi
can the people will expect some good,
sound leii'ulallon. Should there bo a
iWira on the part of any republican
for a repetition of the famous holdup
of two years ago, someone will have
to suffer, and there Is no one to bear
the brunt but republicans. If there
cannot bo some safe, sound legislation
enacted now there never will be, and
it is hoped that all thai is expected
may be realised.
Now that the campaign in Oregon
is over, tbe stteutioo of the people
will be directed first to the pursuit of
their ordinary vocations, particularly
in the farming sections, where great
interest ia manifest. There to every
likelihood of the price of wheat and
other farm products remaining stiff
this year, and special attention will be
giveu the matter by farmers. The
one important tiling with the Ameri
can people is the great war now being
fought, and that matter will absorb
publio attention. It is a matter in
which all are intensely interested.
Wk are not making the statement
with a malicious heart, but because
past and present events will prove
what we say, that populism thri tes on
poverty. The change of governmental
policy inaugurated six years ago
brought about a condition of affairs
which came near placing Oregon in
the populist column, but another
change took place which, with the re
sult of Monday's election, shows that
populism thrived in this stale during
tbe four-years' trial of free trjde.
The campaign is over, and more
time will now be devoted to business
matters by us. We owe an apology to
our readers for neglect! ns; the first
duty of a newspaper that of giving
tbe news. We will now, after due
time, continue to run a newspaper in
the interest of the people of the county,
and make a special effort to furnish
all the county news.

AFTEIt ELECTION.
BY GEORGE MORRISON.
We pops are badly beaten,
Oh, my 1 it makes me sick!
They've elected Hall and Cleeton,
And we've no show to kick,
I voted the union ticket straight,
My concience it ia clear;
1 did not kiss a candidate,
Nor sell my vote for beer.
I'm one of the pops that's on the square
And I do not care a cuss ;
I wont stomp round and beat the air,
Nor kick up a vulgar fuss.
I'd been right glad if we'd beat,
And swiped the whole of the cheese;
B it we itf od no show and bad to retreat
Which makes me fairly sneeze.
Now that they've got the battle won,
I'm willing to abiJe the suo
By the law of the land that's under
Where our early patriots died.
