Increase in cost of Mute government per

Gov. Moody's administration, ftUMill S2.
The growth in population, business or
necessary expenses have not warranted any
such enormous increase as is here shown.
The governor says that the legislature is re
sponsible for this state of affairs. We assert J
that the governor is to blame and has no
shadow of reason for laying upon the legisla
ture sins for which he is accountable. It
has been shown that heat all limes pos
sessed the veto power and never hesiluted
to use it when by so doing he could secure
personal gain. Why could he not for the
good of the people interpose his veto to
save the state from "the evils ol an extrav
agant legislature? ' For the simple reason
that be hoped to reau irsonal train bv hav-
munism nre Included, with every theory of
lolly that disturbs money and busineis,
every scheme of turbulence and sedition
that threaten the peace ami order of so
ciety. In this combine there is a demand
lor a convention to frame a new constitu
tion for the stale. lthe people of Oregon
want it T What is I he object ol this demand
lor a constitutional convention, pooled with
with other rags and tugs of populism and
IVunoverisui? To make doctrine lit lor
bedlam the fundamental law ol the state.
Ostensibly the demand for a constitutional
convention is made for the purpose of set
ling aside representative government and
introducing the so-called inilialiveand refer
endum, one of the crailrat of all cr iy lads
of populism, l'o the people want eon-
Istituiional convention for such a purposeT
lo they waul one at all? Are they anxious
to meet the expense, to be plunged Into the
turmoil, of this effort of socialist politics?
Are they tired of the orderly, regulated and
well-balanced methods of the constitution
under which, as a political community, they
have long lived and prospered? And do
they want to embark on perilous sens of
socialistic innovation? If they w ant all these
things and ant to semi rennoyer to the
senate besides, they wllljelect the legisla
ture he wants ami holies for through his
combination ticket
There are thousands upon thousands of
democrats throughout Oregon who have no
sympathy with these pestilent doctrines,
but regard them with detestation and ab
horrence. They have a slake in a peaceful
and orderly state, conducted upon princi
ples approved by intelligence, continued
by lime and justilicd by experience. They
want no agitation of suclalists' schemes, no
introduction of the methods ol reckless
innovation. They cannot be pleased with
the wild novelty that captivates the super
ficial and thoughtless, nor with the tierce
vehemence that delights the ditcontcnleil
and turbulent, and I bey ought to be w tiling
lature, to the end that he might charge the
! republicans with gross extravagance.
I But this is not all. If the legislature hit
I been extravagant I'eunoyeras governor has
been even more so; for he has time ami
again expended far more than the sums ap
propriated for siiecific purposes. The gov

In a word, the ballot of every Intelligent
ami responsible citizen should be directed
against that combination of "isms" now

with republican state officials, will make

A FALSE ISSUE.
norityfof the board, but that will not suf
fice. He had a majority of his own party
on some of these boards when he violated
the provisions of Ihe constitution, and had,
moreover, pow er and authority as chairman
of the board to stop woik when the limit
of the appropriation was reached. Some of
these deficiencies will be plainly observable
in the annual appropriation bill while oth
ers are so disguised that it w ould require an
exwrt to find fie governor's muddy tracks;
but they are there all Ihe same.
The governor can mount and ride his
high moral horse simply for the reason that
bis record is not known and no one has dis
puted his claim of immaculate personal
and official purity.
THE MAIjY ASTECT.
Governor Pen noyer is going about the
state booming his candidacy for the United
Slates senate, basing his claims to the place
upon his economical and clean administra
tion of tbe office of governor and the extrav
agance of the republican legislature.
The claim which he sets op is without
any foundation in fact. His wise and econ
omical administration of the affairs ol this
state exist only in his mind, and the Estek
fhise asserts, without fear of successful con
tradiction, that Gov. Pennoyer has not been
economical in bis administration or the
business entrusted to him by the voters of
the state. Neither has he honestly en
deavored to give to the state a clean al min
istration of affairs in the interest of good
government, and were his acts known and
the motives which have actuated his con
duct laid bare be would not today find a
corporal's guard of honest men in the state
rallying around bis standard. The truth of
the matter is Pennoyer is a demagogue, a
crank, a pretender, a whited sepulchej, who
has prostituted bis office and tbe best good
or the people or the state to bis own per
sonal ends. Knowing all this he has the
hardihood to go about the state sounding
his own praises and putting np jobs to boost
himself into still higher positions.
Let us very briefly consider his claims to
promotion. When Governor Pennoyer took
the oath of office he found about $500,000 1 should know
in the state treasury and the levy for state
purposes less than two-fifths of what it now
is. The expenditures for tbe four years or
Governor Moody's administration averaged
Jess than one-half of what tbey bave for
Portland Oregonian.
Tbe propogations or solicitous doctrines
in this ceu'itry, under the name of pop
ulism, by leaders like Pennoyer, arrests the
attention ol all observing and thinking men.
Thus, the New York Sun, well known as
an exponent of conservative democracy.
makes a statement that could not better tit
the present situation in Oregon, bad it been
written with a special view to existing con
ditions in our state, viz: "It is mortifying
to democrats and startling to the country
generally to see the old democratic-repub
lican contest replaced by a treacherously
precipitated struggle between democrats and
populists. It is the traditional right of
democracy and republicanism to engage
each other for the control of the I'nited
States government; but when their old and
accustomed warfare is discontinued and the
country is threatened with communism and
alt the hurtful eccentricities of the socialists'
disordered and uncontrollable hallucina
tions, the old partisanship has to be laid
aside. The newcomers must be met like
a common enemy."
The situation in Oregon, in the present
political contest, is one that these remarks
exactly lit. Populism has precipitated a
contest that is fraught with danger to every
interest or the state. Pennoyer is its leader;
he is making great exertions to control the
legislature, and every interest of the state,
in which democrats and republicans of in
telligence, responsibility, business and
property, are alike concerned, calls for tbe
dcleator populism, with its whole brood of
fallacies, vagaries and dangers, and the re
jection now, once for all, or the man who
has made himself the prophet, priest and
king.
Whether the legislature shall pans into
the hands or populism and Pennoyerism
depends very largely on the action that the
best ( lass of democratic citizen may take,
Herein Multnomah county a combination
ticket has been made, the legislative por
tion of which Is almost wholly pobulists.
Efforts are making in other counties in the
interest of Pennoyer and the socialistic
doctrines that bis name represents, to form
similar combinations that will give him a
legislative majority. Democrats of char
acter, intelligence, business and property
whether they want this effort
E. Hayes for County judge we are of the
. opinion that they did so for the reason that
, they believed that he was the best man for
j the place. What more reasonable than lo
select an attorney of known ability for
! county judge to attend to probate and law
, business and to select lor the business part
I of the duties ol the court two farmers Well
known for their careful management of
business all'uirs? We full to see how any
one can find fault wilb the make up of that
part of the ticket at least.
Tit K name of Kinearson has been a house
hold word in Clackamas county almost
from the first settlement of the county by
the whites. George O. Kinearson, who Is
nominated for representative on the repub
lican ticket, Is a son of the late P. M.
Kinearson. He studied law and was
admitted to the bar for the purpose of
extending his knowledge and acquaintance.
At present he is engaged in the conduct of
the homestead taken by his father as a do
nation claim and finds his lime fully em
ployed in looking after Us affairs. He is
well known throughout the county ami no
one questions bis ability to represent the
county. Mr. Kinearson has always been a
republican and stands fairly Uoii the prin
ciples of the party, and should command
tbe full support or his party.
to succeed, and what means to use if they
want to defeat it.
Populism and Pennoyerism are equiva
lent and interchangeable terms. In them
jointly and seperately, socialism and com-
Rei'UM.ii'ANs who believe in Ihe princi
ples of their party cannot build up their
party by voting against those who have
been selected as stumlard hearers. It is well
known that every democrat or populist
elected to ollice in a republican county
weakens Ihe republican party and injures
the cause. Especially is Ibis (lie case with
the ollice of sheriff. There was no good
cause why republicans should have placed
a democrat in that ollice two years ago. No
good reason can be produced why Eli C.
Maddnck should be again defeated and hia
opponent elected. Kli is qualified to per
form the duties of the office well and will
do so faithfully. Let republicans do their j
duty all along the Hue this year, and not
only he but the entire ticket will be elected.
Thk candidacy of M. L. Moore for county
treasurer is taking well among all classes,
as he is a hard-working larmer who has
never sought office but has attended strictly
to business. He has been a resident of Ore
gon for fourteen years, ami came from Illin
ois, from which slate he enlisted and served
three years w ith the army of the Tennessee.
His republicanism dates from the birth of
the party in IhVi, and he has been a stead
fustsupporterof the principles of the grand
old party ever since. Mr. Moore lives at
Mount Pleasant w here he is well known and
stands well. He is a man of excellent char
acter, good attainments, and folly qualified
to transact well the duties of the ollice. No
better man could lie found for the place,
