Listen to this from a populist paper,
the Roseburg Review; "In the price
ot wheat alone can the prosperity claq
uers find a fact that sustains them. Any
School-boy knows that the wheat market
is not controlled entirely by the foreign
market, but by domestic conditions.
Hops, wool, fruit and cotton and nearly
all other products are also advancing
and are not as depressed as in the
'Cleveland panic' When land values
go down and interest rates go up there
will be ample time to talk about prosper
ity." An honest confession is good for
the soul.
INDORSES THE HOLD-I P.
Windy Slippery U'Ren is going over
the county indorsing the legislative bold-
np of two years sgo, saying that it saved
the state $300,000. This is just as true
as any other statement made by this
prodigy of Jonathan Bourne's harem
There was not a dollar in saying to the
state, but on the contrary the tax-payers
will have to pay $90,000 interest on war
rants. Clackamas county will have to
pay nearly $6,000 of this amount. But
Windy don't care about the woe-bur
dened tax-payers. He is after boodle.
He is politically dishonest, a fact which
is borne out by his record in the last
legislature. Mrs. Levelling says he is a
rascal and elie is in a position to know.
Tbe populists admit tbeir defeat when
they send out word to kniie tbe democrats.
Tbe populists propose to knife the
democrats on tbeir ticket. Perhaps the
jmpulists candidates will be served with
a doee of their own medicine.
Every fusion democrat in Clackamas
county is sharpening up bis knife for the
Stb of June. When it comes to knife-
ing tbey propose to do a little slashing
themselves.
THAT LETTER
The following is a letter brought to
this office, wherein insi ructions have
been sent out by the populists, instruct
ing the populists in the country precincts
to knife the democrats on tbe fusion
ticket.
Obkoon City, May 18.
Mr.: It is necessary in order to
elect U'Ren and the other populists on
the union ticket, to trade off every dem
ocrat on the ticket for populist votes.
Two years ago when Bryan ran lor pres
ident, the democrats knifed the populist
electors and it is our turn now. Talk
i this rather quietly a day or two before
election, rut none but populists on
guard. Committee.
Shis letter is in accordance with in
structions issued by the populist central
committee. It is done for the purpose
of bringing the middle-of-the-roaders
back into line to elect U'Ren, and is in
keeping with populist tactics in Clacka
mas county.
his office, and has made one of the bout
district attorneys of the district. Mr,
Cleeton Is deserving ot a re-election by
an Increased majority.
A TRADING KCIIKMK
A letter wai brought to this office this
week from a former Populist, written by
a Populist in Oregon City, stating that
the Populist were going to trade off the
Democrats on the fusion ticket for votes
tor the Populist candidates, and request
ing him to work the scheme in bis pre
cinct. The gentleman to whom the
letter was written has always been a
Populist, but biting opposed to fusion, he
decided to vote the Republican ticket,
consequently brought the letter to this
office. The Oregon City Populist com
mittee should be more careful to whom
they write letters, especially on a trading
proposition. That this la a fact Is
evidenced by the Portland Dispatch, the
only Democratic paper published in
Portland and the Dispatch is now work
ing against the Populists. In last week
issue it had the following to say ot Editor
Fitch of the Oregon City Herald;
"This follow Fitch is a blatherskite
and adventurer, and is in politics for
revenue only. On the other hand, the
Voters have an honest, consistent and
competent man W. H. Leeds, to vote
for. There is no reason why any Demo
crat Bhould cast his vote for Fitch, and
but little excuse for an "ignorant" Popu
list, as he terms his own following."
Will someone pleaee inform Mr. Wil
liam Jennings Bryan that the co-partner
ship heretofore existing between the
bushel of wheat and the silver dollar
his been dissolved?
So tbe populists are going to tradeoff
tbe democrats on their ticket for votes
lor populists candidates. The old say
ing that "there is honor among thieves'
don't apply in this case.
Windy-Slippery U'Ren is willing to
trade off every democrat on the fusion
ticket tor votes for himself. Perhaps
Windy knows something about that let
ter that was written to a former populist
asking him to knife the democrats in the
interests of the populists.
There appears to be something the
matter with Windy-Slippery U'Ren and
the Herald. They are usually full of
wind, but somebody must have punctur
ed their tornado tire, for nothing is now
tieard but the feeble gasping of these
twin relics of populist barbarism.
QUESTIONABLE CAMPAIGNING.
To show to what straights the fusion
campaigners are driven to, one has only
to listen to their political harangues, in
which they put in their time circulating
wilful campaign lies about their oppon
ents. One lie, that they cling tenaciously
too, is that the Republican legislative
nominees are pledged to support John
H, Mitchell tor United States senator.
This is absolutely and unqualifiedly falne.
There is not a nominee on the Republi
can ticket pledged to support John H.
Mitchell or any other man, Tliey ha ye
openly stated that they will yote for a
Republican who is known to be sound
on tbe financial question and tor no
other man. Every statement made by
these campaign liars is false and the
fusion liars know them to be false. We
challenge any man or candidate in the
whole fusion outfit to produce one iota
of evidence to the contrary.
Our populist and democratic friends;
' hereabout, who some time ago denounced
the administration for moving so slow In
the Spanish matter, are now engaged in
picturing the deadly nature of yellow
jack and tbe extreme accuracy of modern
weapons of warfare. Some people are
very hard to please.
AN EFFICIENT OFFICER.
The trial of Upton for murder in Col
ombia county resulted in the convic
tion of the criminal tor murder in the
second degree. He was sentenced to the
penetentiary for life. District Attorney
Cleeton conducted the trial for the state j
and showed his abilities as a public
prosecutor. During thu two years Mr,
Cleeton has been district attorney he
has prosecuted all cases alone and no
county in his district has been compelled
to employ additional legal service.
During his term of office Mr. Cleeton
has lost but one case by demurrer, only
two verdicts directed by the court for
failure of proof. There haye been four
criminal cases appealed to the Supreme
court, two of which have been decided
in favor of the state and the other two
PAY THE BOYS IN BLUE.
Gov. Lord and state military board
have taken every precaution to have the
state of Oregon reimbursed for every
dollar of expense caused in furnishing
troops to the federal government.
But the state government should make
ample provision to reimburse each volun
teer for all time put in getting ready to
enter the army. Several weeks elapeed
between the call for troojs and muster
ing the men for service so they can be
gin to draw pay.
It should be understood that all the
candidates tor the legislature, regardless
of party, aie pledged to full pay lor the
boys in blue who are going forward to
tight for their country's honor.- Capital
Journal.
Yes; and every Populist In the state,
every Populist in the last legislature and
every Populist paper advocated and de
manded the abolishment of the National
Guard. Owing to the legislative hold up
last winter ot which the Capital Journal
was the strongest advocate, not a dollar
of appreciation could be secured for the
National Guard and many of the soldiers
were compelled to leave the state with
ragged clothes. The stigma and disgrace
brought 0on the slate and upon the
bravff soldiers should unite every honest
and patriotic citizen against the Populist
party and every man who participated
in the hold up. Even Hofer ought to be
ashamed of the part he took in that dis
graceful affair.

a union ticket and democrats in general

us all go bodily into the Democratic

The Populist papers are going after
Congressman Tongue because be voted
to make the producers of gold pav the
cut of transportation. The Pendleton
East Oregonian which is supporting the
Union ticket has the following to say in
regard to Mr. Tongue's action.
The fact that Congressman Tongue,
now a candidate for re-election in the
first congressional district, voted to
make the producers and miners of gold
pay the cost of transportation to the
mints from the assay offices, is being
used against bim in the campaign on the
ground that it would "add an additional
burden to an important industry in his
state? In this instance Mr. Tongue
voted right. We would like to know
who should jay the transportation
charges on told to the mints if not the
miners who producer it? Do not the pro
ducers of wheat end all other producers
except producers of gold have to pay
transports ion charges en their products?
Why should not gold producers do the
same? To do otherwise is to confer a
privilege u on them at the expense of
the people. These paternalistic fayors
form no part of the benefl's of Demo
cratic government. They are evils,
vicious and unlair, and, if Congress
man Tongue would make his record with
GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION
The Populist party are opposed to
government by injunction. They are
deiuogogues who want to make the
American tieople believe that the ower
vested in our courts is an evil that ougl
to lie abolished. I use the term dema
gogue adWscdly, because no one but a
demagogue would try to bring odium
upon a process ot law that has in it so
much inherent vulue. Of course, it is
possible for the courts to abuse this
power. In fact certain judges have of
late vears shown a propensity to resort
to it somewhat too freely. There is a
likelihood that some, though we txdieve
not many, wearers ot judicial robes have
shown partiality for corporations and
have issued restraining orders that
savored strongly of favoritism. Espec
ially during labor trouble has the use of
tho injunction been made odious. Men
have been enjoined from marching along
the highways, and thinking they are
simply exercising their rights in so doing
they look upon such Interference by the
courts as arbitrary and tvranical. It
needs but some demagogue to come
along and tell them that their rights are
being evaded by the courts to create a
prejudice not only against this particular
legal process but against all law. The
Populist party took up this hue and cry
by denouncing "government by Injuiic
Hon" set an example for all political
conventions of the parly ever since to
follow, until it bus come to be a matter
of course for every silver, or Populist or
labor convention aud orator to denounce
"government by injunction." And
yet, the power of injunction properly
exercised is a necessary and salutary
one. To impair its true function would
be to impair the rights of the humblest
citizen. Every man however poor may
invoke the protection of this instrument
of the law when bis rights are threatened.
Abridge the ower of the courts to en
join whenever justice requires its exet
cise and individual rights would be
equally affected. We do not suppose,
however, that the party leaders who are
making all this fuss about government
by injunction are in favor of an absolute
removal of the power from courts. By
the term "governmHnt" they would im
ply that the judiciary of the country is
trying to usurp executive power and that
our liberties are in danger of being seized
by the court. Of course such an idea is
preposterous to anyone who has given
the least attention to the nature of our
institutions. The truth is the judiciary
is the weakest of tbe three branches of
our government. In the very nature of
things it has no inherent power to en
force its decrees, but must depend first
of all upon the justice and equity of its
proceedings, upon the moral respect for
et al are not advocating the entire re
moval of this ower from the courts, but

effect of all this denunciation Is none tho

convoying to Mm minds of the masses of
men who are accustomed to weigh care
fully the meaning of words that the
power of Injunction Is Itself a dangerous

A WORD TO VOTER.
The time has come when the voters of
Clackamas county should bo warned
against one of the most unscrupulous
politicians that has ever Infested Clacks
mas county. Nut only is he a disgrace
to himself, to the Populist party, but to
the honest and Intelligent people of
Clackamas county. His record, both
private and political is well known, ani
It smells to heaven. No man who has
any resect for himself will indorse the
pliant totl of Jonathan Bourne who
admits that he was sold out for )S0. In
a sworn affidavit made by Mrs. Soph-
ronla V. Lewelllngon November 1, 180'
she used the following language:
"I said to U'Ren, I suppose you will
go to Denver, your former home". He
replied, "No, I will go to Mexico, out of
the United States sllhogether, or I may
have to go to the penetentiary."
These were the words used by U'lten
He admitted that he was guilty of some
crime, probably bribery, for which he
would lie sent to the peueleiiliary. He
displayed a large roll of bills and told
Mrs. Levelling ' that it was his share of
the Salem business." When the charges
preferred by alevens were investigated
in this city on January llth by the Popu
it committee, U'Ken confessed to being
paid and to selling out to Jonathan
Bourne. He has never denied his per
fidy and shame In that most Infamous
transaction. He has plead guilty to
every charge ol bribery and coiruption
and stands before the people of Clack a
mas county today as a self-convicted
political boodler and grafter.
There are a few voters In Clackamas
county that are opoed to Geo. C.
Brownell, but were Biownell's reputation
as black as the hinges on the gates ol
tell, they would te as pure as the driven
snow on Mount Hood compared to W.
8. U'Ren. No Republican, no matter
what he has against Mr. Brownell, can
so stulify himself as to vote for U'Ren.
To do so would be to indorse one of ths
most Infamous outrages that has ever
ingraced the state of Oregon. To e'ect
U'Ren as state senator from Clackamas
county would be an Indorsement of Ins
checkered career in the legislative hold
up of two years ago. Where Is there an
honest man in Clackamas county that
will endorse the actions of the Populists
in the last legislature? If there be one,
he is equally guilty with the legislative
conspirators who violated every promise
they made to the people; who Ignored
every principle of manhood and sold out
to one of the most corrupt and thieving
gang of political outcasts and boodlers
that were ever known in the history of
the state of Oregon.
While there are hundreds of honest
populists in Clackamas county that can
not and will not Indorse U'Ren or vote
for him. While there Is no doubt hut
he will be dofeated, yet the honest.
respectable, law-abiding voters of
Clackamas county should put their seal
of condemnation npon this man who has
brought lasting disgrace upon his party
and upon the county where he lives,
No honest Republican, no honest Demo
crat, no honest Populist should indorse
by his vote, any man that places boodle
above party, treachery above principle,
and dishonor above honesty.
The Populist platform has not a word
to sayrelatiye to the hold-up, but as
their platform is not being considered
even by themselves, it has no part in the
present campaign. The supporters of
U'Ren haye all the shudder and groan
of a Nigger with the buck agie; the
irrepressible longing of a bound pup
