They will have a I That a republican nomination Is equiva lent to an election is by no mean a certain thing, though so many factors favor the ticket. It will iloend ou the class of men put up for the ollices, and the kind of sup port tboy receive from those that are promi nent in the party affairs. It will take the best uieu the republicans have, and the best work they ran do, to win this election. It rests with the convention next Wednesday w hether the republican or populist princi ples are to predominate in Clackamas county whether we are to have men repre senting the old, well-tried principles of the republican party, or the wild, impracticable ideas of the piilists. THE Y. JJ. C. A. The organization of a Young Men's Christian Association marks a new epoch in the social progress of the manufacturing center of the state. Taking the population into consideration, Oregon City contains an unusual number of young men, many of whom are employed in the mills and factories; and the lutther fact that there is a dearth of suitable places where young men ran pleasurably and profitably spend their evenings, makes the establishment of this organization one of special import. Aside from the moral features of the Young Men's Christian Association, its so cial advantages and means of self-Improve ment are no less prominent. The training in physical culture and Instruction in other classes, which will eventually be added, the Tim republican primaries nf iln rum iv will be held on Saturday ot this neck, ami on Wednesday ot licit ueik tlio coin iv convention will bo held.

Many young men go to the saloons to while away tbe even ing where there are comfortable chairs and and a warm fire, for tbe very reason that they know of no other place to go. The Y. M. C. A. will prove a great charac ter builder; its influence can only be for good ; it will prove a great promoter of good citizenship and moral worth. There fore tbe Y. M. C. A. should receive tbe support and encouragement of every citi zen of Oregon City, that it may be made an institution that will tie pointed to with pardonable pride, when visitors are shown over the city. Tht attack in the Herald of last week, made by a representative of a powder com pany on Commissioner R. Scott, was a very low and contemptible piece of business for a man whoclaims to be decent to engine in. As is stated in Mr. Scott't. explanation, pub. lisbed in another column, there was no un derhanded work on the part of the court in the matter of letting tbe powder contract. There are but two companies handling blasting powder on this coast, and as it would cost $5 to advertise in a Portland pa per for bids, the court decided to save this expense and ordered the clerk to notify the representatives of these two companies to submit their bids to supply tbe county with powder. The whole animus of the matter is that this fellow could not secure tbe con tract in competition with his rival company, so be takes bis spile out on Mr. Bcott. Huch attacks will strengthen rather than injure Mr. Hcolt. Here's guessing that Hermann doesn't make Ihu lauding at the Albany coin en lion next mouth. Tho big counties seem lo all be organized against him. Idiuolu County Leader. Clackamas county, so it is said, w ill send a solid delegation lo the convention in la vor of Stale Senator llmwnell lor congress. Why is il we bear of no solid Hermann delegations from anywhere?

Kven lKniglas county has a lot of them, and may send only that kind to Albany. Salmi States man. If the tone of the elrhange list represents public sentiment, Dinger Hermann will have no walkaway at the Albany rone . linn. Nevertheless the Koseburg statesman has many friends who would like to see bun returned to congress. Slayton Mail, ilia "Wave, ol tan rrancisio, names Senator I'erkins, of California, fur rcpubli can nominee lor vice president. At the same time, however, it laments the jealous ies existing between the pub.ic men of that state, and tears that the unfortunate pas sion will defeat lis favorite. There is no ill-feeling between Keeit and McKinley forces. These two liaJers always work togelber in congress, and it is said that should either of them be elected president, the other would be ottered a conspicuous place in the administration. Some of Mr. Heed's friends say that if he does not gel the nomination they would much prefer that McKinley should get it, and the same feeling is expressed by the Mchlinlev men toward Reed. It is certain that the Heed men do not regard Mr. Morton as a serious candidate any more than they do Mr. Quay. At least that was tbe expression of one of the Heed leaders at the capitol.

Mitch pi, i,, being the almost unanimous choice of the people of Clacka mas county for United States senator it is proper that a resolution be introduced and passed in the republican county con vention next Wednesday, pledging the sup port and co-operation of the republicans of this county in his re-election. Senator l Mitchell has been one of the best working senators Oregon has ever bad, and by hit untiring devotion to the interests of the state, both in congress and out, he has To Tin Koitok: The following spprared In the Industrial Herald of last week : " Tbe rerent contract made by the county court to purchase all powder required by the county from a California giant powder firm at their bid the only hid submitted. has a very shady appearance. Why was this matter, involving so great an item of county expense, not let to the lowext bid der? Ob, it was. Whv? Only the one bill was in Now, why? bid the county court advertise for bills? No. This n, alter might be explained away d it should transpire that Commissioner Seolt had sold to this com- fianv, to whom this contract was awarded, and on which their magazine now atands al the rate of about $'M) per acre, ami was even now an agent of the company. Truly, a public ollice is a private snap." In regard to letting the bid tofuriiisli the county with powder, there being only two linns in the state dealing in blasting powder the county court instructed the clerk to no tify the companies by letter. The clerk says he did so, or rather gave them verbal no tice, which cost the county nothing; where. as to have advertised would have cost the county five dollars. In regard to my selling hind lo the Cali fornia I'owder Company, I never sold them any, but did sell Edward Failing ten acres of land, on which to put a powder magazine, in September, 1M!U, nine months before I was county commissioner. The price was $5i0 per acre. The assertion that I am an agent of the powder company is a lie. K. SCOTT. Milwaukee, March 18. American Fire Philadelphia. fJ-M II...

From these tables it appears that the ap propriations made by tbe last legislature were nearly $000,009 less than those or tbe legislature of 1803, and when the increased population and needs of tbe atate are con sidered the approprrations of the last ses sion would appear to be less relatively than tboie of the sessions of 1880 and 1801. Tbe population and wealth of tbe state hav go increased that no intelligible compar ison can be made as to the Mitchell's return to congress Is demanded by every interest that Oregon lias at stake, It was not true economy for tbe county court at their recent meeting to cut down tbe wages of the laborers on the roads. Tbe pay heretofore, $1.50 per day, was as low as men ran work for, and putting it at $1.25 is asking ton min-b of them.
