GAVE UP THE FIGHT.
Henry Watterson, editor of the Louis-vlHeCourier-Journnl,
it appears I rora the
following, deems useless to attempt to
maintain the gold democracy organiza
tion longer against such odds. He says :
"The gold democrats of Kentnckey will
certainly not emhroil and embitter their
lives by a prolonged struggle against
such odds to save the countiy and the
j)iirty from the abyss of the revolution to
which the preachments of men like Mr.
Bryan of Nebraska and Henry George,
4o say nothing about Senator Tillman
ari'l Gov. AlU-eld, are hurrying all who
follow their lead. What the rest can
istand, ecnn stand. Weare democrats,
rot republicans, and if it be the desting
of the country to become the sport and
prey of the professicnal, partisan politi
cians, swinging the pendulum from one
to the other dizzy height of radicalism,
we shall go with the organized fools
rather than theorganized knaves ; though
we do not want to go with either."
IX A SUTslWLL.
TSew York, New Jersey and Kentucky
cast fifty-eight electoral votes for Me
Kinley, one of Kentucky's votes going
to Bryi n.
New York, New Jersey and Kentucky
all went democratic last week.
Had MeKinley been a candidate last
week instead of last year the popular
-vote in these three democratic states
would certainly have been cast against
dim
Now, deduct these 58 electoral votes
from the 271 which Mr. McKinley re
ceived, and there are left 213.
Add these 5S votes to the 170 of Mr.
Jinan and he would have 234.
That is a majority of 21 in the elec
toral college.
In other words, the democrats do not
tieed to gain another state. They need
only retain these three New York.
New Jersey and Kentucky and they
will elect the next president. N. Y.
Jl mill.
I'd it A I, HANKS IN A CAMPAIGN.
In themxth IlliuoisdiHtrictacmnpaign
lor congressman is i'i progress to fill the
vuca.icy mused by the death of Con
recsiniin Cooke. The sentiment for
poHtnl s.tvings b.inki 1m ho strong in
Chicago tint both party platforms pledge
the candidates to work for them if
elected. In a recent speech Henry S.
.lioutell, the republican candidate sai I:
"The people demand that congress at
its next Kt'Nttion tdiull provide lor the
eftalilii-htiii'iit of postal savings banks
under the control of the postoH'ice do
.piirtment , and a measure looking to this
end would have my hearty support.
Postal savings banks have given satis
iuction to the people where er thev
li.ivo been tried. Their existence in ail
arts of the country is a constant
invitation to thrift and economy, and
wherever thrift and economy p evail
poverty, ignorance mid crime disappear.
The establishment of such a system of
agencies for the reception of the smallest
deposits would be in exact accordance
'With th principle which should
diaracteiuo all our legislation namely,
the protection of the weakest. If wo
protect the weakest, we protect all."
Tiik newest and most assertive ad
aninistrution organ warns the president
to give no support to fecrctiiry Chile's
plan of currency reform. It tells him
that any meddling with "the money of
the. people" will wreck his administra
tion. This tuny be called the specula
tive, iiond syn lic itiu r, Wall street
view. The currency is "good enoi!t;li"
for tfold corners, treasury raiding and
g:imhliiiK operations. That our cur
rency system with its nine kinds of
money, is in u chaotic condition, which
may easily become dangerous, experi
ence abundantly proves. Tlio republU
can puny by its platform nnd by the
words of the president is pledged to re
form U. ifuuit is not untteii upon any
plan. Itdocsnot know w hat it wants
A Pkmoi'iutiA member of tlio Ohio
legislature says bo will not enter into
any combiiiatiAu to defeat llanmi.
He thinks tlAt "llauna in the
senate would do niore to bring about
democratic sucivss in UHK) than any
other man the republicans of Ohio could
send to represent them in that body."
It is rather hard on Ohio and on the
senate to purchase party advantage at
such a cost, but there is no doubt that
lliuina in the senate is a big and shin
ing example of latter day republicanism
would be worth more to the democrats
in UHXHhan a hundred ordinary stump
speakers. An article in the Press attacks the
.churches la-causo their Dells are rung
-on fc'umlaT. The editor of that sheet !
while looking for a new locution illicit 1
move to some country town where there
, . ' . .
are HO Churches anil Where the
atmosphere is more congenial.
The gold democrats did not cut-much
of a figure in the late elections. In fact
they mustered hardly a corporal's guard
anywhere. It is somewhat of a mystery
where they have gone, as the decreased
republican vote shows that they did not
vote with that party. They have either
seen the error of their ways and joined
the ranks of democracy or stayed at
home. v
W. J. Bryan thinks that ''taking the
result of the recent elections as a whole,
he voices the sentiments of democrats,
populists and silver republicans when he
says the fight will be continued with
even more earnestness until the gold
monopoly is broken and the money
trusts are overthrown."
Tub Oanby Independent says all the
Oregon City papers are owned by Mr.
Morey of the P. G. E. Co. We would
like some evidence of the ownership.
Everything owned by Mr. Morey is sup
plied with elec ric lights. We have
none, a luxury which the other papers
are supplied with.
A majohity of the populists, democrats
and silver republicans seem to be in
favor of a union of forces for the spring
campaign in this county. Articles ou
the subject from all standpoints will be
gladly received and given space in the
columns of the Courier.
Theke'b a whole lot of silver repub
licans in Oregon who are saying: If
you democrats and populists don' t stand
together in this next election, don't talk
any more about reform. Salem Journal.
