An increase of tho standing army is what the plutocrats have been seeking for many years. Under cover of threat ened war with Spain they are attempt ing to accomplish their object. We have no need for a large standing army, but we do have need for a great navy, lit't tho people lie on their guard and not bo caught napping while tho money power is throwing around itself protec tion, through the national treasury, from tho wruth of those- they are plundering. Tub state conventions of tho populists, silver republicans and democrats were held iuPortland lust week and nominated the ticket, which appears at head of this column, and united upon a platform, which was unanimously adopted. Tho best of feeling prevailed among the re form forces and the only incident that occured was the walking out of 12 dele gates of the populist party, who met as middle-in-the-roadera and put up a tick et. With now and then an exception the populists, silver republicans and democrats will support the union ticket. CLACKAMAS COUNTY HONORED. We are glad to know that Clackamas county has been recognized on the union state ticket. Chas. A. Fitch, of this city, who has received the nomination for state printer, is eminently fitted for ttie position, being an able, aggressive editor and a practical printer. Mr. Fitch is about 36 years of age. He was formerly a republican but joined the Farmers' Alliance movement at its inception and established the first Al liance paper in Western Kansas. He entered the fight with his paper for the first Independent Alliance ticket in Sherman county, Kansas, and was a large factor in securing the election of every nominee on the ticket. He was a delegate to the Cincinnatti conference and the St. Louis conference the year following, which crystallised the reform elements and formulated the platform which was adopted, almost word for word, by the people's party at Omaha. He moved to Oregon in '92 and estab lished the Union county Farmer at La Grande. In the depression of '93 and 4 he failed in business and turned over his plan and business to his creditors and moved to Portland and began work on the Leader by the week. He took charge of the Oregon City Herald under lease in November, 1895, and prosecuted a splendid campaign the following spring for the people's party county ticket, which resulted in a victory for every man on the ticket. He is a man who has the courage of his convictions and through extreme adversity as well as prosperity has done faithful and valiant service for the cause of reform ever since he identified him self with it. He is the friend of labor ; has always defended organized labor, and if elected, the state printers' office will be a union oflice during his term. He was twice elected president of the Portland Labor council during his residence in Portland and was appointed by the Knights of Labor and tne labor council to at'end the legislature of '95 in the interests of organized labor. His election will bo a triumph for organized labor and tlie principles enunciated in the union platform. The republican party can no longer deceive voters witli its promises of bimetallism. It stands for the gold standard, retirement of greenbacks destruction of silver and more power to the banks. Salein Journal, lie p. And now Japan is having a gold stand ard panic. One of the leading Japanese papers says, "The financial panic which occured in Osaka is only the first of the disasters that will follow tho adoption by Japan of the gold standtud. The malady of the Semi Weakly Blackmailer has broken out afresh and thin week it attacks L. L. Porter in its mad frenzy. Mr. Bain hns it worse than the city has the measles all over. Such journalism, if it can be called such, should be prohibited by law. The seating of tho gold democrat Josiah Patterson, by the aid of repub. lican votes of tho house of represents fives shows how close together are the goldites in their fight against true demo cracy. If the bimetallists would act to gether in behalf of silver as tho goldites do in favor of gold, there would bo no dillicully in breaking the backbone of gold monopoly. i C. T. HowAitn, of Mnlino, is promin ently mentioned in connection with the republican nomination for county com missioner. If nominated and elected he would no doubt do his best toward get ing good wagon roads to tho Molalla country via. Mulino. Tho imnrovimi of the road is being inado an issue by his republican friends, who hope to see him nominated for that position. Ir it is true that Speakor lieod has 'lost control of the house." then the situation has already resulted in a victory for liberty elsewhere than on Cuban soil. Article 1, section 1, of the consti tution says that "all legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a con- gressof the United States, which shall consist of a senate and a house of repre sentatives." The recent rule has been to have congress consist of a senate nn,l n speaker. The union of forces against the enemv of reform, tho republican party, iu Ore gon have adopted a platform of principles that does not place it on tho defensive. The union ticket can only bo defeated by a campaign management that shall put it upon tho defensive. Nothing but an open, above board, honest, straight orward campaign, absolutely free from tho corrupt methods of the past, will answer iu this campaign or deserves to win. Tho people aro not going to tolerate any cannection with Portland rinu rule or anv afliliatioim :tl. u;n.... - ... IIVUITI I of the corrput republican factions in the ...... ...viiv in mo reiorm forces, ihey will repudiate them at tho polls. Oregon politics has been corrupted and boodlod until it is a stench in the nostrils of all decent people, and there is no justification for connecting a new clean organisation with a manage ment that is in touch with republican corruptionists.
