REPUBLIC A N 11 A I! MOW.
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.

OREGON DOUBTFUL.
(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.
