That delightful harmony, 'practiced by the famous felines of Kilkenny, is again in evidence among the ruling elans of Oregon republicans. The Bourne and Fulton factions will have nothing to do with each other except to scratch and spit and scrap; apathy rules the ranks and inertia the headquarters. Our Jonathan is back from a summer spent assiduously cultivating Mr. Tal't after predicting the hitter's over whelming defeat, lie will not trust the organization, which has kicked him out, with his campaign contribu tions, and has his secretary organizing Taft and Sherman clubs, using his coin in the organization. These clubs will not be joined by the Fulton stalwarts, because those promoting them favor tlie carrying out of the popular will in the election of a senator, and would place the toga on a democrat. The Fulton men made an effort to oust Chairman W. M. Cake, but were forced to desist. As a result, Mr. Cake has let the spider spin its gossamer webs about his office, while the campaign ran itself. The Oregonian is scolding against direct primaries like an old woman, and suceeed irg in driving apart still further the faction". There is a tardy awakening at state headquarters, but the name and personality of Taft fail to arouse enthusi asm, and the hopelessly divided condition of the party renders it extremely likely that Oregon will slip into the Bryan column, for the Nebraskan's policies are those of Roosevelt, while Taft has the support of t lie trusts. THE MAINE ELECTION A STRAW. Returns from the stale election in Maine held Monday assure the republican party's victory, but show that its plurality has been cut to HI MM), the smallest in 30 years While the next legislature undoubtedly will be republican, the opposing parly will have a stronger hold than before This is a straw that shows how the Brvan sentiment is growing, even in the far east. Bert M. Fernald was chosen governor over Obediah Gardner, democrat, and the four republican candidates for congress Allen, Swazey, liurlon and Guernsey were victorious. The prohibition question entered largely into the state fight, the small vote of Fernald showing (he growth of the anti-prohibition sentiment. In 1!)01, Cobb, republican, had 7","!)1 ; Davis, democrat, 40,701, the republican plurality being Uf,K()(). Roosevelt carried the slate by :i7,K()(i over Parker. In 19012, the republican plurality for governor was 27,190, and in 1900 the republicans carried the state by 34,1:112 for governor and 128, (ill! for president, In 1S9S the republican plurality was 121,709, and in f9li, l."),777. In 1892 it was 1 1,979; in 1888, 2:5,2."):!; in 1881, 2(Ui()(. and in 1880, 8808. MURDERER'S UNCLE TELLS OF THE CRIME KLAMATH I'Al.l.S, Dr., S.pt. U, fiul O.

(Cortland Spectator.) j Oregon is gradually edging toward the "doubtful" column in the table of of those who inuko estimates in pres idential years. Kxcepting for one or two extraordinary displays of political aberration, Oregon hus bIiowii a deal of political sanity in cnstitig'lier electoral i vote. In late years little has occurred j to disturb tho belief that she was safely republican. Itut confidence in her po- litical stability is being shaken; on tho j eve of battle, when none but republi- j cans should conduct tliecnmpuign, too many populists are lieing put on guuru. The victories of tho republican party havo ever ben won on straight party lines; heretofore fusion with populists has been consider d impossible, as be tween principle of the party of prog ress and prosperity and those of radical ism nnd depression thero is nothing in common. Today, is noted a union of populism and republicanism, in which the latter party is being forcibly wngg ged by what has always been consider ed tho tail of the political dog. The eonlemplntinn of this unifluo spectacle has caused those who make estimates of electoral voles to put Oregon in Ihe "doubtful " column. It may be regarded ns a political calamity that Senator Hourno should uianuge Mr. Tuft's campaign in Oregon Tho senator, even from the gfeat va riety of his political affiliations, has learned everything but political wisdom, and gained nothing but office Ho has changed his political complexion 80 often that he has awakened tho envy of the chameleon na he has aroused the distrust of his former and present as sociates. His method of advance has been al tenulidy that of a cuttle fish, tho pole cat, and the hyena, r'roin the many political pools he has darkened by his own excretions, he has oinerged, the only survivor. Office that had hithorto been considered honorable, by his too eolso approach became intolerablo to respectability. From tho grave whore he helped bury them, he has dug the shoes of tahe dead, and is wearing them. lie has become in this stnto tho head of a party that owes him nothing but its own discredit and from which ho ox pects oulv his own uggrandiziuent. Senator Hourne will manage Taft's campaign for Senator Hourne 's interest solely. If hia profit appears to bo with tho republican candidate, Senator ftourue will exercise just enough effort to secure Taft's election as will gain Taft's favor; if tho star of tho l'eerless Son of Nebraska seems to bo in the ascendency, Senator Hourno will givo Mm Apostle of Discarded Policies the hearty support of a man who, while ap pearing lo be fighting hnrdeiit for his friend, never failed to'save the loot for himself. It is Senator llourne's nppenrunce nt the head of the republican party here thai is putting Oregon in the "douobt ful " column.
