That $8000 saved by the populist oflici
als is a corkor.
Goo. 0. lirownell spent part of lust
Sunday in Ryan's olllce, an occurence
unheard of until recently.
Some of the republican candidates
would gain several votes if they made a
practice of paying their honest debts.
It will now be in order for the repub
lican Htickholder to pay some of the beer
bills contracted two years ago but not
paid us yet.
. It seems that Mr. Ryan got the worst
of the bargain when he hitched up with
lirownell, and now some of his best
friends will not support him for judge.
T. A. Melirido registers in a Portland
hotel as from Oregon City. The judge
now resides in Astoria and should not
claim a residence in this county even if
it is election time.
"This is but one real pjint of difference
between the mlddle-of the-road populists
and the republicans, and that is Iho
silver question." The "lhid Man"
Editor of the Enterprise.
A republican campaign speeker on
Saturday started in by saying that he
would not indulge in personalities or
abuse but before he got through he was
abusing Mr. U'Ren at a great rate.
Now that County Chairman Hradley
Is off on a surveying trip and Secretary
"Campbell will go to war, lirownell will
have to nianngo his campaign personally
unless lie can get Mr. Pressor to act as
his tool.
A former citizen of this county, who
resides in another part of the state,
writes to the Comma as follows: "If
the voters of Clackamas county nro not
wooden-headed they will certainly not
vote the ticket of a convention that
swallowed lirownell, who no one that
knows him would Itulievo under oath,
Myers will be a very great improvement
on Hayes, who is, if possible, even more
slippery than the statesman front the
Jayhawker stato.
It is seldom tlto republican attitudo on
political subjects is expressed as clearly,
ns was stated by a prominent republican
on the streets of Oregon City last Satur
day. A group of men bad congregated
on the street corner discussing the
present seeming political chaos when he
without any apparent effort gave vent to
the following: ''The issue two years
ago was, the republicans had the offices
and the populists wanted them . This
year the populists have the offices and
the republicans want them." It is just
possible that the great principles of the
republican party hinted at by the bad
man from bogy, as a correspondent
cills the imported editor, in the last
week's Enterprise, are embodied in the
above proposition.
CAME TO SLING MUD.
The following bulldozing paragraph is
taken from an article written by the
recently imported "bad man" editor of
the Enterprise, hired by Porter, Brownell,
Ramsby & Co., to run their dirty cam
paign organ :
If advice would be heeded it might be
opportune at this time to state to those
who are making a personal fight on
either M r. Brownell or any of the candi
dates, that we are the best political
muu-sunger in this neck of the woods
and a continuation of this disreputable
underhanded, and cowardly warfare will
result in the loading of our batteries and
a campaign that will not be relished by
these kindergarten politicians.
This is an insult to the intelligent
voters and readers of Clackamas county
and the ring politicians will want to
change editors again "because no good
is being done candidates" before the
campaign is half through if,Mr.Curtls of
Astoria opens his mud batteries on the
union candidates, for which purpose he
was brought here by the above mention
ed "combination" of office seekers, and
"tojdo up Fitch?" .
What does Mr. Brownell care for the
people? All he wants, and ifas wanted
during the sevqral years of his residence
here, is office for himself and his
"friends." He has pulled the wool over
the eyes of the voters before and hopes to
do so again and with that end in view
secured the "valuable" services of a
"mud slinging writer from near the sea"
for his organ, thinking thereby to draw
attention from the real issue and fool
the "fool people," as he calls the country
residents. " We are the best political
mud-sliii'ier in this neck of the woods."
Do the intellegent readers of this county
want this kind of a campaign waged by
an imported man, who cares (or no one
but his boss, the republican ring?
THE O. 0. P. WORRIED
The g. o. p. is badly worried over the
fact that democrats, populists and silver
republicans have united in a common
cause for the coining election, they tell
us, however, that they are noflhe least
bit worried over the matter," and so we
suppose they are only facetious when
they characterize our platform as "mon
grel," and deprecate the fact that the
voters of the three parties will "sacrifice
principle for the sake of putting a few
pie-hunters in office." The opening of
the mint of the United States to the free
and unlimited coinage of both gold and
silver at the legal ratio of 16 to 1 without
wailing for the consent of foreign nations,
the resumption by the government of the
United States of its constitutional, exclu
sive right to coin and issue money and
regulate the value thereof; the exercise
of iho right of the government to pay its
bonded indebtedness, at its own option,
in either gold or silver coin ; laws mak
ing void all contracts demonetizing any
kind of lawful money as a legal tender
in the payment of any kind of debts or
obligations, are all principles fundament
al and common to the people's party, the
democratic party and the silver repub
lican party, and these are the cardinal
principles embodied in this platform
characterized by the g. o p. as"mongrel."
And as to the ollicers we are sure to elect,
they will put our principles into effect
leaving the republican pie-hunters out
in the wet. That is what is worrying
the dear g. o. p, more than anything else
for they are pre eminently a pie-hunting
party.
Municipal elections have taken place
in several of the Eastern states, and the
result is not gratifying to the Republi
cans, to say the least. In Ohio is the re
sult especially satisfactory to the Democ
racy, which was successful In Cincinnat
ti, Dayton, Sandusky, Mansllold, Zunes
villo, Fronont, Tiffin, Canton and Maryg
ville. Unless all signs fail, Oregon will
lead the procession in the politicul revo
lution that will take place during 18!W.
The silver-reform forces will elect a neat
majority of the house of representatives
and gain the control of a number of the
states now controlled by the republican
party.
THE ISSUE IN PLAIN.
The republican convention at Astoria
adopted the following plank :
We are in favor of the maintenance of
the present gold standard. We are un
qualified opposed to the free coinage of
silver and io all other schemes looking
to the debasement of currency and the
repudiation of debt. We beiieve that the
best money in the world is none too good
to be assured by the government to the
laborer as the fruit of his toil and to the
farmer as the price of his crop.
This platform was framed by men who
are bitterly opposed to anything that is
not mono-metalism in the strictest sense ,
Judge M. L. Pipes (gold democrat) be
ing one of th platform committee. It
has the merit of directness and does not
equivocate, making the leading issue of
the campaign so plain that no one need
miss-understand it.
Republicanism simply means gold
standard, and under its banner are ar
rayed all.the followers of the money pow
er. On the other side are the common
people, including, all who believe
in the money of the consti
tution gold, silver and paper.
The masses do not desire to see theGage
plan of currency "reform," meaning the
retirement of all legal tenders except
national banks notes, consummated and
fastened upon the people. Could the
issue be plainer? . ..
The independent republican ticket in
Multnomah county is called the "anti
Simon republican party" ticket. The
anti-Brownell republican ticket in Clack
amas county has not materialized and
the independent republicans will now
have to either vote for Brownell's ticket
or the union reform ticket.
The state senate of Ohio has voted that
"Senator Marcus A. Hanna is guilty of
attempting to bribe John C. Otis, a mem
ber of the house of representanives, to
vote for him for United States senator."
Mayor Pennoyer's administration of
the affairs of the city of Portland has
saved over $140,000.00.
The Imported Republican Editor.
Editor Courier:
Who le this new man of the Enterprise, this
bad man from bogy, this philosophical argumen
tative monstrosity from far away laud by the
sea. It is indeed hard to realize that one with
such a ponderous Intellect should be found occu
pying a position as cumpaUn editor on the En
terprise at tills time, when It is known that the
only oxcuse for said paper's existence Is to ex
pose the fallacies of a few ignorant populists and
call to rcpoutauce a handfull of republicans who
havo iicclared thoir ability to think and aot for
themselves without the conseut of any politioal
demagogue ou earth. What a waste of talent, what
a monstrous mistake on the part of our friends,
the republicans. One would think that in Clack
amas county somewhere there were mental
giants to combat and that the greatest mud bat
tery "in this neck of the woods" was just getting
ready to bespattor everyone who refuses to have
a gold standard ring in their nose in order that
they may bo yanked up to the polls by some po
litical ward heeler.
There is nothing, says this new star in the Or
egon City editorial constelation, between the re"
publicans and the middle-of-the-roaders except
the silver question, which is a q uestion of hones
ty on the one hand and dishonesty on the other,
hence tho necessity of patiently educating this
friendly ally up to a full understanding of hon
est principles that they may be enabled to vole
the gold standard ticket without strai nlng their
conscious, A Middle ok thk-Hoadkb.
