Captain Samuel Whlto, chairman of tho stato central Democratic com mittee, and his secretary, Mellaril W. Montague, havo flnnlly and in good time Issued tho edict on tho lines of which Democracy will prosecute Its claim to Btato patronago In tho pres ent campaign. On January 30 tho Democrats will meet In Portland to dovlso ways and means. A peculiar feature of tho proposed love feast will bo Democracy's abso lute renunciation of nny complicity In tho Hchcmo of tho Populists of tho stnto to capturo and roclnlm tho irmnscB of Oregon. Thoy will have nothing to do with tho Isms of tho PopullstB or tho seisms of other fac tions of tho Democratic party or any other party. Tho light will bo made purely, clearly and clonnly on Jeffor sonlan principles, under which Ore gon Democracy Is being rojuvonatcd. Charlman Whlto has been In touch with the promulgators of popular sen timent In Bovoral Important districts of tho state and ho hns happily ills covorord thnt It is nil Democratic. Ho proposes now to placo himself In prop er propinquity with othor Important ant sections of our grent common wealth and samplo tho various brandn of Democracy therein being develop ed. Thereafter ho will roport tho na turo of his discovery nnd suggost, probably, tho now plan of renovation whoro It may bo found propor to ap ply It. Wheroforo tho suffering mass es of Oregon should bo duly thnnkful to Charlmnn Whlto. Secretary Montnguo suggests that, out of respect for tho Republican mo Jorlty In tho stnto, as shown by sta tistics of tho last oloctlon, tho Demo crats will permit tho Republicans to hold their convention first. This Secretary Montnguo concedes as n matter of otlquotto. Thoughtful Mr. Montnguo should bo gratefully remem bered for this kindness. Incidentally, howovor, It Is lenrnod from Democratic sourcos, fori closo touch with Chairman Whlto nnd his secretary, thnt tho Populist party hns disbanded nnd that Its members are flocking to tho Democratic organiza tion whorovor they con find It. A moro consorvntlvo source of Informa tion suggests thnt n good many of tho tllsnffootnd voters who, In th'olr political dementia, formed tho Popu list pnrt, enmo from Ilepubllcnn ranks nnd thnt thoy aro now returning with equnl rolorlty and despatch to tho old fold. Honco, tho conclusion Is roach ed thnt both parties will rccelvo addi tional strong!)! from tho source whonco emtio tho deendonco of Popu lism. It Is n fnct, novertheless, that Dem ocracy Is organizing nnd that Its or gnnlzoin hnvo Vnnfldonco that thoy will bo nblo to rally a strong forco under tho old ling of JolTersouInu principles. Much of this latter sug gestion comes from Republican sourc es throughout tho stato and Is there foro worthy of consideration, Thoro Is cnuso for congratulation In tho fact thnt Chalrmnn White and Socrotnry Montnguo will obsorvo po litical etiquette to tho oxtent of per mitting tho Republicans to hold their convention first In othor words, to show tholr hand, so tho Democrats tuny know what to play to. Hut It Is equally observnblo that tho Republi cans hnvo begun tho piny with much confidence. Independently of what Dentocracwy may havo up Its sloovo, It Is roally u sourco of tnfinlto Joy thnt tho Democrats nro reorganizing. The Republicans havo hnd so little opposition In recent stnto elections thnt thoy havo becomo Indolent. This new Incentive to Republican reorgan ization Is timely and may result In much good for tho party. Tho sottico from which Orogon's Republican "so ciety" gets Its strength doesn't o 1st alone In Multnomah county, Re juvenation of the Democratic pnrty tuny make this fact prominent. It is said that tho Simon elate 1ms been perfected, It is said, nli-o, that the publication of the list of judges and clerks of election expose tho character of that slate. Tim machinery is of the "perfected" kind and is MippoMnl to do its work in i-everal colors. It is nloo reKrtel that Senator Simon will Ihi ku-k in time to superintend the work. This is not generally lolievel to lw true, becnuco Senator Simon's olllcial placo of operation is In Washington, 1), (),, whero the United. States r-onnto is in hesslon, However Senator Simon may come bark. The slatu Is out. iin, Tho campaign is m ! uw Tlio RtiKgefltioti of L. U.

No man In Multnomah county Is moro competent than Mr. Lewis to dlschnrgo tho responsibili ties of that offlce. Ho has had experi ence In tho ork for four years as depu ty, nnd the systematic mannor In which he has done tho work assigned to him proves hoyond question' his capability.

Somebody usked the workman what these murks meant, and he re plied that they probably meant "El bert Anderson and Uncle Sum," allud ing to Inspector Snmuel Wilson, who wns locally spoken of us "Uncle Sam."
