FOR MrKISLEY.
That there is a growing sentiment in
favor of McKinley and Hobart in Clacka
nias county, is a fact plainly discernible to
the most obloe minds. The rote made at
the election held last June, is no criterion
of the political complexion of the Toters of
Clackamas county. The voters at that time
cast their votes in such a way as to admin
ister a rebuke to the most corrupt political
leaders that ever disgraced God's foot-stool.
Their sentiments were not populist senti
ments. They voted to down the corrupt
element in their own party, that a as sap
ping its very life blood. The party was
virtually in the hands of a political adven
turer, who is a stranger to honor. The re
publican party of Clackamas county bad to
rid itself of this incumbrance or fall into the
depths of the mire.
Factional differences, however, do not cut
any figure in the campaign for McKinley,
sound money and protection, and republi
cans, democrats, prohibitionists and all
others, who favor a system of safe and
sound government, are all pulling together
for one common object. The majority of
the people of Clackamas county desire to
ace a safe and stable national government,
Dd they do not propose to throw away
their votes and thwart the design of a na
tional policy that insures prosperity to the
laboring man, the farmer, manufacturer,
and everyone else in this great country
The people of Clackamas county do not
care to dabble a 1th wild and uncertain
theories, that have never been tried, and
re visionary in the extreme. They are
gradually learning that McKinley repre
sents the only true principles of a sound
and safe government, and they will vote
accordingly. The McKinley Bentiment is
growing and it is probable that Clackamas
county will roll up a majority of a couple
of hundred for McKinley and Hobart.
Th Portland Exposition Is proving
a greater success than was even anticipated
by its managers. Never before were the ex
hibitions so novel and tasty and the even
ing entertainments are of a high order, the
very liei-t musical talent having been se
cured lor that part of the program Thou
sands of people are delighted with the ex
position this year, and pronounced it a
grander success than any previous fair.
The secret societies are to have elaborate
programs for their special evening, sur
passing the great events of last year. For
ester's day will be on the evening of Sep
tember 30th, and on October "th, Wood
men's day will be another important feature.
October L'nd w ill be Odd Fellows' day, and
it will be one of the greatest events of the
expnsiiion. On this evening there will be
an opening chorus of 500 voices, and at this
time the attractions and exhibits at the ex
position will be in the height of their glory.
The work of organizing McKinley and
Hobart clubs and leagues in Clackamas
county goes merrily on, and encouraging
reports are being received from the most re
mote sections of the county. The people of
Clackamas county were not voting for na
tional principles last June, and while true
to the principles of good American govern
ment at that time, they were voting on local
pletiHl, until the man who does a few days
work on (he county Mads, has to take hii
pay In county warranta. They have dis
regarded the Injunction of the circuit court,
and paid the biggest sum for printing the
delinquent tax list ever heard of in Clacka
mas county. They talk retrenchment, re
form and economy, but Ibis talk is like the
idle wind These facta are hard, cold reali
ties and matters of olllcial record.
Ox Tuesday Major McKinley delivered an
adddress iii which he exposed the baseness
cheap dollar scheme. In part, lie
said, "The contest should be so willed this
year that no parly herealtcr can alarm the
business world and shake public conlldeiice
by a proposition to scale debts, either pub
lic or private. - t cannot allord to have
(he tiuestion come up every four years
whether the nation will poy or repudiate its
debts in w hole or in part."
Jaimn, that prosperous nation, which lias

the present century, is meeting with dire

tion should be one of honesty as well, as
sooner or laler deceit will come lo the sur
face and a reaction will surely occur. From
the foregoing one can readily Judge that
the honest convictions of Mr, Ulul.ie in re
gard to the silver question are diametri
cally opposite to those of this silver editor
and his parly and Ida only plausible excuse
in quoting Mr. Ulniue is to deceive the pub
lic and give his lint scheme a show of re'

of honor.
Honest bimetallism is one thing and
dishonest one is another, so no one should
be deceived or tricked into voting wrongly

DISII0S0RI.NO THE DEAD.
To Tm Editor: The Hon. James G.
Blaine in a ipeecli before the United Plates
senate, rebruary 7th, 1N said, "tr, there
fore, silver has been demonetised, I am In
favor of remonetizing it; if its coinage has
been prohibited, I htn in favor ol ordering
it resumed; if it has been restricted, I am
in favor of having it enlarged."
A silver organ displays the above in bold
faced type, from week lo week, evidently
presuming to mislead the unwary Into be
lieving that the Hon. James G. Blaine was
in favor of the present free silver views of
the democratic party, or else he would have
been honest enough to have published the
balance of the seecb of Mr. Blaine's, which
when investigated puts an entirely dilferent
face on the matter and one, too, his party
do not care to hear a'luded to very often.
One might affirm and even prove that there
is no God by the Holy writings, for we rind
the phrase, "There is no God," yet it seems
as though the fool has said Ibis in his teart
and he is not a responsible authority. By
suppression one may leave a false Impres
sion, as has been done in this instance
wherein Mr. Blainechampions the free sil
ver cause on behalf of lKi democracy.
That Mr. Blaine favored free silver Is true,
but that he favored the coinage of a 0.' cent
silver dollar in 178 or would have favored
a 53 cent silver dollar In l-!i, is not true
and only dishonest tricksters would be
guilty of dishonoring his reputation after
he is no more.
With permission I insert a few quotations
from the speech alluded to, and it any free
silver man at the present time can gain any
consolation by imagining his ideas crre.
spond to that late lamented statesman's, he
is welcome to the delusion
He said, "All will admit that within a lew
years a great disturbance has taken place in
tbe relative value of gold and silver, and
that silver is worth less or gold is worth
more in the money market of the world in
1878 than in 173, when the further coinage
of silver was prohibited in this country. To
remonetize it now, as though the facts and
circumstances of that day were surrounding
us, is to willfully and blindly deceive our
selves. If oiirdemonelization were the only
cause for the decline in tbe value of silver,
then remonetization would be the proper
and ellectual cure, butother causes quite be.
yond our control have been far more potem
tially operative than the simple fact that
congress prohibited its further coinage.
After showing that the demonetization of
silver by the leading powers of Europe had
caused the rapid decline in tbe price and
that were tbey to reopen again their mints,
silver would at once resume its former re
lation with gold, he says, "The difficult
problem is what we shall do when we aim
to re-establish silver without the co-0era-
tion of European powers." (quite simple to
some people.) "Evidently the first dictate
of prudence is to coin such a dollar as will
not only do justice among our citizens at
home, but will prove a protection an abso
lute barricade against the gold monometal
lists of Europe If we coin a
silver dollar of full legal tender obviously
below the current value of the gold dollar,
we are opening wide our doors and inviting
Europe to take our gold. With our gold
flowing out from us, we shall be forced to
tbe single silver standard and our relations
with the leading commercial countries of
the world will be not only embarrassed but
crippled. At current rates of sil
ver, the free coinage of the dollar containing
