It was given out long apo and maintained nntil recently by the republican national committee, tbat there was only a remote booe of carrying Oregon for McKinley. It must b admitted that to the people in the East, our crushing defeat of last June was not to be so easily overcome, and they could see not any hoi for the state's redemption from populism, but to the republicans of Oregon, who were familiar with the cauws that produced the diater of our spring election, it was seen that those causes and conditions did not exist now and that witb a strong and united effort the state could be made to roll up her old time majorities for the republican party. With this determi nation every republican in the state from tbe most obscure citizen to the must influ ential man went to work to win every vote possible for the cause of protection, sound money and law and order, and the result of this united and harmonious eilbrt is teen in the magniticient majority given in this countv and in the entire state for the repub lican nominee for president. Much of the credit for this great victory is due to Mr. Sol llirsch, chairman of the ats te central committee, and the committee's secretary, Jud:e 0. X. Denny, and the assistant secretary, Mr. A. V. Cleaver; while in tlosiouiily to Mr. S. M. Ramshy, managers of the factories and mills. Such a charge is an insult to the intelligence and independence of the laboring men of Ore gon City for they would reient as quick, ai any other set of Americans any interference with their rights at the ballot box, besides it would be inipiwlb'e to force them or any other men to vote as their employers would dictate for the Australian system effectually prevents inch Inlerierence. This nislls cious charge isalsoan insult ami contempti ble fling at the honor and integrity of the men, who have by Investing their capital with us, built up the great factories and mills which have been the means of making Oregon City the most prosperous town on the l'acillc l'oat and ot giving employment to hundreds of laboring men who otherwise might have had many a long, weary tramp belore they could hive secured so good a job as they now enjoy In the nulls of this city. A comparisoh of the vole last Tuesday with that of last June will show how grral is our victory in Clackamas county. For supreme judgo which is more ol a nun partusu office than any other voted lor, the rote laM June stood: Gaston, populist, 2X1, Bean, republican, 1UW; Burnett, democrat, 4S4, including the populist ma jority on this office of 4M, over the repub lican nominee. On congressman Vamler burg, populist got 2SV; Tongue, republi can 177S; Myers, democrat, and Chrislisnson, prohibition, U't, giving Van- derberg a majority over Tongue of 017. In this election the average vote for the McKinley electors was AM) and for the Bryan electors 2175, making the majority for McKinley over Brran 270. Tnls allows that a gain of 71-9 voters in this county was made to the republican ranks since the election of last June, taking the rote of supreme judge as a basis, and it indi ENGLISHMEN AND AMERICA. Man? Who Have lUn Warm Frlaada of This Country, Ttio fact Is that tho KnglUh pnblio niou who liairo understood America, or who have seemed to cure to umlcrNtiunl her, have, at least until recently, always represented! a small minority. During the lint century of our national lifo canvly an Kiigllsliiinin of nulnonoe was clear sighted enough to perceivo America i real devotion to givitt idcala. Our llnl imIi kinsmen thought us a lumlo of gradpriuds and nothing else, wherciut, lu spito of a seeming atwoiptlou iu ma terial things, the national life was grap pling with mighty ethical and political Ideas, which the solllshuess ami Irre sponsibility of politicians might lomo time distort, but could never stiflo. Leigh Hunt, as Lowell used to remind us, could uever think of America with out seeing in Imagination a gigantic counter itretchiHl all along our s alxiard. and we bore Hunt t ridicule w ith a complacency that was the more cheerful because Ins calilvr mid weight of metal were scarcely great enough to do much execution over sea. Carlyle sneered ; we remembered his dyspepsia and forgave. Ruakin emptied tho vials of his elo quent contempt, upon our sacrifice to America's freedom and integrity; we abated uo jot or tittle of our vcncrntlou for his prophet's uiensnge, while we trove to make Just allowance for the TagaricH of the hypenrsthetio tempera nieut. Thestt things it was eoy to con done, " Tho EngliKhmeu who have understood Auioricun life have judged it by somo thing besides the froth of the irresponsi ble prtvsa and tho antics of provincial "stntomneu."

It is one of the characteristics of our race tbat even brothers will fall out and call each other hard names. This is shown in tbe conduct of the Courier toward the Three Sisters-Press. After encouraging tbe Three Bisters to come to Oregon City and aiding its publishers by the use of his press and type to get out their paper, the editor of the Courier now comes out and publishes tbe following w ithering obituary notice of bis esteemed contemporary: "The Press accuses the Courier of "bullheaded stupidity." To resch this suge conclusion, it, with knavish duplicity, perverts the sense snd meaning of three or four lines i of his life to do us service and John Cright'f bravo words in the hour of our distress can uever bo forgotten. Tbo memory of Thomas Hughes alas I that we must write "memory" uow will always remain a rich and fragrant leg. acy, to which, iu a peculiar scuso, we are coheirs with Englishmen, while the work of Mr. Bryco has not only wou our repeot and gratitude, but la bound to leave deep impress on our life, Nono of those men was blind to tho evident foiblea, defect and crudities of the strenuous life of an earnest aild virile people.
