For forty years Clackamas county has been an important factor in the political af fairs of Oregon, yet in all these years not a stale elective office baa come to a citizen of this county. To a person not familiar with the political history of Clackamas county it would seem strange indeed for a county that is third in the state in population and wealth, and one that has always been a leading factor in both the old parties, not to have been given a proper recognition. Smaller counties, whofe total republican rote has scarcely exceeded the republican majority often given in this county, have secured important offices in both state and . national affairs; furnishing successful can didates for United States senator, state su preme jndge, state treasurer and other posi tions of honor and trust, while this county baa remained in the back ground a pohti I cat hewer of wood and drawer of water, j The people of Clackamas county are as well educated and progressive as those of may other part of the state, and her public men are counted as brainy, honorable and shrewd as any to be found. This county bas always been in the front in the finan cial, industrial, and social growth of the state; but when it comes to political mat ters an invisible line bas been drawn, and old Clackamas has taken a back seat. There is no effect without a cause, and this cause is apparent to all who are familiar with the in side workings of Clackamas county politics. Personal jealousy has been the cause of the defeat of every man In this county who bas aspired to anything higher than a little petty office. Each time that a Clackamas county man bas sought an office of any prominence, the gaining of which could not but bnng honor and high standing to bis county, be has been pulled down by jealous rivals, who were so narrow as to think bis rising would eclipse their pros pects; and this spectacle has been repeated year after year, each convention being the gravevarri of some bright man's political ambition, until it bas come to be looked upon as an impossibility for a Clacksmas county man to rise above the common level. This is no overdrawn statement, for we have with ns many men who pos sess the brains and the ability to fill the highest office in the state, or to hold a seat in congress, who have been sidetracked and made into political has-beens by the under- banded rivalries of those who should have been their staunch supporters. eminent. At the primaries is the fuuiulii thin laid for an honest, upright atniinltra lion of the atl'aim of the eopli or for one of corruption and disgrace. A voter who will not attend his party's primaries has no j ri;ht or huine. to criticise the chikIi.UIi-s of his party or to growl at the nay (he af fairs of ollirrs within the gift of th people are managed. There need b no ring or cry of bosMsni if every voter would attend the primaries.

Reciprocity Is to be one of the leading features of the republican policy in the near future, and with the incoming of a republi can ail ministration it will be made a prouii - rent ,mrt in our tariff legislation. Our X trade with the South American countries "shrank over$10,'X;0,(fi0 last year as a result of the abrogation by Cleveland's adminis tration ol the reciprocity treaties negotiated by Blaine. The short time these recipro city treaties were in effect demonstrated that it was within the power of the United States ta secure the almost entire foreign trade of the South American countries, thus creating a market for our surplus pro ducts and giving to our people the products of the tropics at a much cheaper price than can otherwise be had. On Saturday of this week the populists of Clackamas county w ill hold their prima ries, and on Tuesday next theircountycoii Tendon will be held in Oregon City. As each populist is an enthusiast and a strong party worker, the vote cast at their prima ries will lie a good index of their party strength in the county. Their faitb in their success at the polls in. June Is unbounding; but as sweet anticipations of future victories have been their chief sustenance in their political life for years past under whatever name their party sailed, it would be rude to disturb their peace of mind with any allu sion to a certain defeat that awaits them at the hands of the voters of Clackamas county. Tub congressional field has heroine so completely filled with aspiring candidates that it would need the occult powers of the " X ray" to show who is the strongest man, irwlio is that problematical personage, ti e dark horse," who is liable to come in at ie last moment and carry off the prize. Several republican newapaers which are importing various candidates are con stantly sneering at or railing against Mr. Hermann. They do not attempt to show anything that Hermann has done or tailed to do this congress, that he has not done or has not failed to do at any other congress. Yet all these paiers during the various cam paigns have told tbeir readers that Dinger Hermann was the man for Oregon, and ad vised the people to vote for bini. There bas has been nothing in Mr. Hermann's ca reer the ast two years to warrant any change of opinion respecting him. These papers have not changed tbeir real opin ions, but they have changed their policy, for tbeir counties bavs " favorite sons" who covet congressional honors. This paper supports Mr. Hermann. It believes be has proven himself capable of looking after the interests of Oregon ; that he bas had experi ence that would be lacking in a new man. and that he is almost Ihe unanimous choice of lbs people of Benton county. We ex pect, however, to support the republican nominee, whether it be Hermann, Tongue, Brownell, Truitt, Ford, Geer, Miller, or any one of the capable republicans mentioned for the place. The Gazette recognizes the right of all of these gentlemen to come be fore the convention without being attacked by republican journals, and claims the same right for Mr. Hermann.-CorvsHii Gazette. The thing for Marion county republicans to do is to agree on tbeir strongest man as candidate for congress and (dace him before Ihe Albany convention in sucb a way that be can be nominated. We have said this cannot be done in a manner hostile and un fair to Mr. Hermann and ho(e to win for Marion county, It must be done with the utmost fairness and friendliness to win un der the circumstances. Mr. Hermann not a congressman at all to our taste on many questions We believe Marion county has such men, and can put a mar to the front who will make a far abler representa tive than Mr. Hermann ever has. Salem Capital Journal. The valley press is sorely pressing Mr, Hermann on his record in securing appro priations for improvement of the Willamette river. The facts are they never pledged him on the subject before, and now when there are half a score of candidates for his place it is used for convention campaign material. Eugene Guard. The fact that Hermann failed to secure the chairmanship of the river and harbor committee which he claimed last summer, wniie traveling over the hrst district, to have almost in his pocket, shows that he had not the influence at Washington which he pretended to the people hepossessed. It is also being developed and published edito rially In several of the leading papers in his own district that he has heretofore claimed the credit for securing measures to be acted upon anu passed at Washington with which he had iff concern, but on the contrary Ore gon's senators did all the work and should have been given all the credit. The fact that various and sundry charges of this character are openly published editorially in bis own district in papers which have heretofore been his friends, shows that he is not going to have a walk-over at (he next congressional convention, but on the con trary it now looks as If he would certainly be defeated. e have no personal animos ity against Mr. Hermann, but there are cer tainly very many men in the first district who possess the ability to accomplish as much, or more, for the people as Mr. Her mann, and the chances are that he will get left at the Albany convention. Silverton Appeal. Ex-Senator Dolph delivered a speech on the money question before the Mt. Tabor republican club, the printingof which occu pied two pages in the Oregonian. Dolph made a good record while in the senate, hut it never came through ability to interest his hearers.
