bination. Lkt others do as they may but as for
me, I am for an honorable union

Country first; party (or party names)

the single gold standard, gold bondage,
destruction of full legal tender paper

governor.
Tiik OotiitiKit is in favor of soun.l mo
ney, (lie money of our fathers, gold and
silver on equal terms, 16 tol, a ratio
satisfactorily established by long usage,
The Courier is not in favor of a change
nble ratio that will cmiol a man to t-tko
a pair of scales along with him, but is
willing to trust the stamp of the govern-!
ment for whatever fluctuating there may 1
bo, and it will not bo much when the
metals are treated alike.
Ai.kkaoy the gold standard press is
spewing out it falsehoods against the
union ticket. They know that they have
a hard light on hand this year, and they
will not give up their job of mis govern
ing the state it they can help it.-Onturio

FOR A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.
The following resolution was introduced
by lion George Ogle and adopted by the
convention last week :
Resolved, That we condemn the corrupt
practice of the republican party in at
tempting to influence voters by the use
of liquor and other disgraceful methods,
and we demand that our candidates con
duct a clean campaign in the future as
they have in the past.
Mr. Ogle read the following editorial
from the Enterprise of June 5, 1896 in
support of the resolution, and called spe
cial attention to the fact that neither the
populist committee nor any populist can
didate in that campaign paid so 'much
as a single dime for liquor or "treats"
for voters:
"The day has come when the whisky
element cannot be depended upon in
politics.' Public sentiment is against it
The candidate who depends upon the
purchasing power of the liquor influence
to get the suffrage qf the people for office,
loses more than he gains. The riff-raff
vote cannot be depended upon under the
Australian : ballot system. . This class of
voters have no respect for principle, and
they will spend the candidate's money,'
drink his whisky and beer, smoke his
cigars, and then vote the other way. A
young voter went into an Oregon City
saloon on the Saturday before tne elec
tion; and when asked by the orajbrietor
how ha intended to vote, replied, that
he intended to vote for the candidate
who put up' the most beer and cigars
The proprietor told him that was not the
way to ao ; tnat ne snouia take an tne
whisky and cigars he could get, and then
vote for the other man.
THE MASK REMOVED.
"The mask has been removed," ob
serves an Eastern exchange. "Two
years ago all the republicans of the
country received "national honor" m
spiration from Wall street, It was the
main source of supply. ' They ' made the
national flag their e nblem, and ehouted
lond and long, that their generosity
and fear was all due to their great desire
to uphold national honor. The past few
weeks we have had the first real exposi
tion of their idea of "national honor"
and enough to bring the blush of shame
to any check.
Murdered defenders of our flag, are
"incidents" when it in any way effects
the action of the ticker in Wall street.
The "national honor" of these patriots
only counts in dollars and cents. There
is no honor with them unless there is
money in it.
The man whose home is entered by a
ravisher and settles for a money con
sideration is no worse than the Wall
street "national honor" fellows who
measure a nation's duties and responsi
bilities by the almighty dollar.
The gold democrats held a state con
ventiod in Portland Monday. Although
the gentlemen assembled fervently
claimed that they represented the only
true democracy, the tried and unterrified
article of the Jeffersonian faith, there
were not many present. There were
about 50 men in this convention, about
two-thirds of them from Multnomah, in
eluding Collector of Customs Black and
six of his deputies. It is evident not
offensive partisanship for federal officials
tositinagold democratic convention
The other one-third of the convention
was composed of gentlemen from various
near-by counties. They did nothing ex
cept to discuss their position and adopt
a platform. One of the gentlemen who
made a very clear and convincing speech
against nominating, said: "If I were
forced to choose, if I were forced, I say,
to choose between Bryan democrats and
Mark Hanna republicans," said he, ''I
should not vote the republican ticket."
IIoN.Geo.Ogle of Molalla was renomi
nated for the legislature in Clackamas
county. We believe he is a thouroughly
honest young man and possesses the abil
ity and character to make a good legis
lator, Geo. J. Knight of Canby wasulso
nominated. He is a brother of ex-
Sheriff John Knight of Salem, and also
a man of ability and a man of fine
character, He is a silver republican on
the legislative ticket, and is a credit to
the union organization. Salem Journal.
A pull account of the tar resolutions
passed ia found on second pago. It is
reported that the president had given
Spain until Saturday to answer or with
draw troops from Cuba. Spain refused
to accept the ultimatum and on Thursday
at 1 p. in. the North Atlantic squadron
was ordered to Havana to blockade the
harbor.

POLITICAL NOTES.
It is evi'lent that there was not enough
oflices to gq around among the republi
cans, and still they nominated several
ollice seekers and third-termers.
John Cooke, a native son of Clacka
mas, will be the next sheriff. John is
very popular and makes friends where
ever he goes and is honest and conscien
tious and can be depended upon to look
after the interests of the taxpayers.
When honest Bill Myers is judge the
conditions will be changed. Now, while
the populist officials are voluntarily sav
ing the county nearly $400 per month
the republican county court is running fie
county several times that amount deeper
in debt, and still taxes are higher than
ever before.
The union ticket is going to be elected
from top to bottom, and don't you for
get it. All evidences point in' that' direction;-'
- ".' i
All the union candidates have agreed
to accept the reduced-salaries. The reJ
publican candidates are quiet on the sub
ject. They are looking after the loaves
and fishes and not the taxpayers. ,;
Why was Sidney Smyth elected a
delegate to the republican state conven
tion when he was not . a delegate to
county convention? An exchange Jays
he was the ruling spirit of the state
delegation. Did he have the said dele
gation in. his pocket? -..,,'"
The Brownell organ at Canby in its
last issue claims virtues for Brownell
that he himself does not claim. It also
comes out in opposition to T. F. Ryan
for judge, claiming the republicans made
a mistake in nominating him. '
Since the republican state convention ,
which was controlled by the Sinn a
crowd, refused to condemn the legisla
tive holdup, Brownell will have to get
wind elsewhere for his sails, which he
had infurled before the holdup breeze,
Henry Thiessen, populist, Robt. A.
Miller, democrat, and 8. W. Morgan,
silver republican, comprise the union
county campaign committee. They can
be depended upon to do effective work
for the cause of the masses against
classes by assisting to elect the union
ticket.
une .enterprise, me Brownell ring
organ, now has four editors: O.J.
Curtis of Astoria Herald, F. L.Poindex
ter, L. L. Porter and K. H. Gabbert.
The old saying: "Two heads are better
than one, etc." may apply in this case.
Now it be in order to put the Ryan push
organ in the pot, now that Brownell and
Ryan have hitched up "a la tandem
The residents of Clackamas county
should take the pride in giving Chas. A
Fitch a rousing majority for state prin
ter. He is the only representative this
county has on either of the state tickets
for years.
A littlb girl who had been taught to
include everybody in her prayers
startled her mother with the following
petition: "Now, O God, take care of
yourself, for if we lose you we would have
only McKinley left to take care of us and
he is not doing as well as papa expected
he would."
Anummkr ofscandals willgrow out of
the expenditure of the $50,000,000 on
war rush orders. It is s.id that favor
ites of the administration are getting
whatever price tney asu. it would De a
wonder, indeed, if the people were not
plundered under the excitement of war.
It is asserted that a drove of about
5000 hobos are on their way from Oali
fornia to Portland. It is understood
they are all republicans, but whether
they belong to the "Mitchell push," or
the "Simon push," has not been as
certained.
It is stated that the Hon. John G. In
galls may declare for free silver and be
come the candidate of the populists,
democrats and republicans for congress
in the first district of Kansas.
The following is going the rounds of
the press: "Rugs make paper. Paper
makes money. Money makes banks.
Banks make loans. Loans make proverty,
Poverty makes rags."
Gkkkkal prosperity (McKinley brand)
has made another 10 per cent cut in the
wages of 11,000 mill operators at Nor
wich, Conn.
Senatok McBride on Saturday voted
three times against the Cuban resolution
but on Monday changed and voted for it.
