10 THE MOBSnETG OBEGONIAJg; FRUA-T, JASTUARY 11, 1S95. DOLPH IS OOKHDEST ySTUAAXG TO LET FREC-SILTEa CANDIDATES TALK. It'll Votcu That Count Vlcvr of Ta- rlonn ICKilalors Ujoa blatters of X'nullc Importance. The leading feature of the senatorial Contest continues to be the pretentious talk of the free-silver candidates, and the expressive silence of the friends of Sena tor Dolph. The senator himaelf will make no statement for publication. He feels confident of re-election, and is content to Jet the other fellows do the talking. He was besieged by callers at his oflice yes terday, and received many assurances of support, and of the fact that the people of the state expect his election, and that the legislature will, undoubtedly, cary out their desires. Aside from this, there were Individual assurances of support from members of the legislature. The Senator Dolph. Reflective. senator's friends, who have made a study of the situation and who are in position to know the nature and extent of his strength, appear to possess undiminished confidence in his election. They express themselves as wholly satisfied with the outlook, and say that one ballot In the caucus will settle It. The free-silver can jvass possesses opera-boufte features that attract public attention and amusement. THE OLD ItOUXDEIt AGAIX. OTie Truth About TIioe Clcrnr.s Un jirofltulilc Interview AVitli Dolpli. The old rounder who expressed his views on the senatorial deal between Mr. Fulton and Mr. Tongue in yesterday's Oregonlan, was conspicuous by his pres ence in the Perkins hotel during the day. He was met by an Oregonlan representa tive just as he was coming out of the barroom, wiping his mouth and smoking vigorously on a newly-lit cigar. "Well," ho said, as he took a vacant seat in front of the windows, cocked his feet upon the sill, tipped back his chair, and elevated his cigar at a proper angle, "this has a little llavor of old times, though things ain't by no means what they was. Why, I have just been up to Fulton's room, and what do you think he offered me? Just a cigar, and a mighty poor one at that. JCo use for corkscrews up there. I think Charlie saw the disgust on my face, for he spoke privately to one of the boys, and pretty soon the young fellow asked me If I wasn't going down stairs, and I told him I was, and we went in and had n. drink together. The proper w ay to win voters is to offer judicious refreshment to the inner man. Tes, sir, the inner man. I am surprised that a man like Charlie don't Ttnow that. And he's lived a long time in Astoria, too. "What's all this dodgasted rot I hear about Charlie and Tom treating their friends out of the same box of cigars? It ain't so. It's one more of them gold bug lies. I went up to see Tom this morning, and I says to him: ' 'Tom, I want to know the bottom facts about this cigar business. Who is furnishing the cigars for this free-silver campaign?' "Well. Bill, he replied. 'I'll let you In on the inside. It's a little of the privat" stock Jonathan had left in his sideboard at the club. He gave me a box and Char lie a box, and he says to go ahead and give 'em to all the cow county members hour before I could see him, and there wasn't a smoke nor a drink In sight. Finally, I got In and I says to him: " 'Well, Joe, how's things? " 'First rate. Bill he says.- " 'Joe says I, 'I think they've got you beat.' " That so?" he says, pretendin to be surprised. I am sorry to bear it " 'Well, it Is pretty tough lines Joe says I. 'But you've got yourself to blame for it. You ain't done nothln' for the boys. Here you've been foolln" away your time In Washington makin speeches on the Xiggeragoway canal, and the tariff, and the federal elections law, and such rot, and incidentally gettin' a few millions appropriated for the Columbia river, and Coos bay and Taquina, and the Willam ette, and the Yamhill, and every dod gasted little creek In the state. Why ain't you done nothln' for the silver min ers? You whacked 'em every time you got a chance. It's a demnition shame. Look at Jonathan, reduced to the low level of writln for the papers. And hvndreds of others in the same fix. Why don't you represent your constituents, and come out for free silver? says I. What d'ye think he had the nerve to answer? " 'My friend says he "I'm no populist. Free silver Is wholly wrong in principle, and, if adopted, would absolutely destroy the financial integrity of the government and be -ruinous to our Industries. " 'Kot your principles says I. 'It ain't a question of principle. It's a question of bread and butter. What's Jonathan and all the others who -are Interested in silver mines going to do, I'd like to know? Starve? No, sir. Not as long as they have mouths and throats, and lungs and wind to howl for free silver. You're mak in a mistake. You'd better quit standin' in "with old Cleveland, and Wall street and give the boys a turn. Why, thlng3 has got to such a pass that some of th boys ain't got one 10-cent piece to rub against another " 'Suppose we adopt free silver, and the government's silver coinage is unlimited? How will the boys -be able to get hold of silver or any other money without work in for it? says he. " 'How'U they get hold of it?' says I. 'Great Jupiter, man, If we have free sil ver, ain't It free? "He didn't make no answer. I had him there, and he knew it. But it didn't do no good to convince him of the error of his ways. I still had hope that things might be fixed all right if he'd do the square thing. I told him so. But he didn't take the hint, and I was forced to leave him to his fate. "When I got back to the hotel lobby I heard a mise-able rumor about Charlie, and I went up to see him about it. " 'Charlie says I, 'the goldbugs are sayin' downstairs that if the populists had carried the legislature last spring, you'd a been a candidate for the United States senate on a free-silver platform, just the same?' " 'It's an infamous libel, he said, very indignant. Besides, he added, after a moment's reflection, 'Pennoyer had the thing all bottled and corked for himself, anyway, and I wouldn't 'a stood no show with the pops " The old rounder threw away the stub of his cigar, and started off, saying he was going to tell Mr. Bourne what Dolph said. AT FREE-SILVER. HEADQUARTERS. A Good Deal of Talk, but Xo Special Developments. A spirit of loneliness pervaded the Fulton-Tongue senatorial headquarters the most of yesterday. The two leading free silver aspirants were in and around the Perkins most of the day, but callers who dropped) upstairs were scarce. Both candi dates spent much time in the lobby. The Patterson trio Orin, Otis and Alva were there: Jonathan Bourne made an occa sional call; "Lou" Cleaver, ex-registrar of the La Grande land office, and Charles M. Donaldson, the Tennessee politician, spent most of their time watching for newcom ers, and when some newly arrived member put in an appearance there was a general 1 rush to "pump" him and see how he stood. At times the lobby of the hotel presented an animated appearance. Groups of men would gather about dis cussing the situation, and more or less enthusiasm was manifested when some one put in a good word for free silver. Very few of those who will have a vote in tho senatorial election openly declared themselves in favor of any candidate, and those who did revealed nothing that was not known for days before. The oppo sition to Senator Dolph, which once claimed that Senator Dolph would not get a vote from Eastern Oregon, has revised its statement. The discovery has been made that the gentleman will have several from' that section of the state, and the fact has had a depressing effect on the antl Dolph workers. They still say "Dolph is beaten," but not in very loud tones; in fact, hardly above a whisper, and then only amongst themselves. Representative Boothby gave them a lit tle consolation when he came in, and was AT KREE-SILVER. HEADQUARTERS. who dropped 1r. He said they wasn't worth a tinker's continental, and he had no use for 'em, and the old grangers wouldn't know the difference, anyway. That's all there Is to It, Bill. I don't like that way of conducting a campaign my self. I never did believe in bribery Tom's all right, but he's got to get a lit tle more experience. What d'ye think he done this morning? One of them legisla tors from up the valley, who is a preach er, dropped in and .Tom talked to him for on hour about the superior merits of the Harablotonlan stock of race-horses. That's worse than Washington-county tobacco. It don't do & man no good to have a silver tongue if It's loose at both ends. When Tom found he was on the wrong taek, he switches, and asked the proa oil er if he didn't think the Young Men's Christian Association had it in for Dolph, because Dolph supported o4d Cleve land's poldbug financial policy, when it is well known that Cleveland goes fishing on Sundays? "I dropped around to see old Dolph this morning. He says he ain't got no head quarters, but that's all a bttiMi. What's his law oflice. I'd Mke to know, if it ain't o, headquarters? I had to wait half an not afraid to express his choice for Tongue, but that was about all the con solation enjoyed during the day. Some one started the rumor that hold-over Sen ator Maxwell was for Tongue, because somebody else had seen them eating breakfast together, but the statesman from Tillamook would not verify the re port. Mr. Fulton did not take much stock in It, as Maxwell, being one of his strong est supporters two years ago, when a can didate for president of the senate, could hardly be turned from his Clatsop friend by such a trifle as a breakfast. There was also considerable of a gath ering of politicians at the St. Charles dur ing the day. Several of the members made that their headquarters, and were more or less sought after by politicians and those interested in the political wel fare of their friends. Quite a number of candidates for subordinate positions were also about the hotel interviewing members and pressing their irdlvldual claims for support. What Umatilla. Wants. Mr. E. J. David, one of the representatives-elect of Umatilla county, arrived yesterday, and found himself a much- sought man by the senatorial campaign workers. So far as his choice was con cerned, Mr. David was entirely non-committal, but ventured the general opinion that possibly the delegation would not be unanimous in its vote. There might be such a thing as a compromise, and then the name of S. A. Lowell would be brought forward. So far as legislation for Umatilla coun ty Is concerned, Mr. David said he would urge the passage of a labor lien law to protect harvest hands and farm laborers, to take precedence over mortgage claims on property. Last summer, he said, many worklngmen were defrauded out of their wages for want of such legal protection." An amendment to the irrigation laws, pertaining to riparian rights, which the Raley bill does not cover, will also be sought. The most important local legis lation will be the effort to form a new county out of the east and northern part of Umatilla. For the past eight years such an effort has been made at the legis lative sessions, but the friends of the new county hope now to attain their object. Many petitions are out, receiving signa tures la favor of forming the new coun ty. Milton will probably be the tempo rary seat of government, and the perma nent county seat settled by an election, should the bill pass. Senator Price will seek to have the as sessment law amended so that exemption of certain kinds of indebtedness will be allowed. Representative Shutrum will introduce a bill defining a lawful fence, and pro viding for the assessment of damages caused by the trespass of stock. Mr. J. P. McManus, editor of the Pen dleton Tribune, speaking of the senatorial siuation, said: "The sentiment in Uma tilla county Is in favor of J. N. Dolph. A petition has been In circulation in favor of S. A. Lowell, with the understanding that, in the event of Dolph's election be ing impossible, the delegates of Umatilla county would support Lowell. They may also give him a complimentary vote. The republicans who are opposing Dolph are those who left their party sometime ago, and supported the 'Dolly "Varden ticket; but, after the great victory of Novem ber last, they all tried to scramble back Into the band-wagon. While no one knows exactly what the members from Umatilla will do, it is certain that Mr. Dolph will receive a portion of the vote." Mr. AVrifflit a. Candidate. Mr. Joseph A. Wright, of Sparta, Union county, will arrive in Portland today and open his campaign for the speakership. His friends say that he has never thought of withdrawing from the race, but has been detained at home on personal busi ness that he could not neglect. It is ex pected that the first thing Mr. Wright will do on his arrival will be to make formal announcement of his being a candidate. He will make the St. Charles his head quarters, rooms being yesterday reserved for him. Mr. Wright is classed among the free-silver advocates, and his candi dacy for the speakership is .regarded by somo as likely to precipitate a test of strength between the two factions in the party over a choice for senator. The man who Is elected speaker will have the mak- Ing-up of the house committees, and every member belonging to the majority party is more or less anxious to be placed at the head of somo Important committee. This distribution of honors will make the can vass for speaker between Mr. Wright of Union, C. B. Moores of Marion, and C. A. Sehlbrede of Douglas decidedly Interest ing. To Protect Slnslaw Salmon. Senator B. F. Alley, of Florence, Lane county, who Is now In the city, wishes that for the next 40 days and nights he could spell his surname with a "z." He Is first on the senate roll, and a man in that position is always regarded as a steering committee of one for others of his party to follow when called upon to vote. Only once last session was he taken by surprise, and he had to ask that his name be passed for a minute. This session he will Introduce a special bill for the protection of salmon In the Siuslaw river, to be independent of all other fish laws. He wants more stringent laws for that stream than any other In the state, so that the hatching of young salmon can be carried on. He will also again inroduce a bill for the protection of young girls, fixing the age of consent at IS years. A similar bill was defeated at the last session, but he hopes it will now be passed. Senator Alley says he is pledged to no one for senator. The Lane county delegation will hold a meeting at Salem to consider the question, and the chances are that they will vote as a unit on a choice for United States senator. A Xew Tax Law Proposed. Mr. Ira Smith, of Monmouth, one of the representatives of Polk county, says that the regents of the state normal school, at Monmouth, will ask for a small appropri ation, so as to meet the running expenses of the Institution of learning. He will also introduce a bill amending the pres ent assessment law, so that the collection of taxes can be made at different periods of the year in the spring and fall. Also that the state, county and iMhool taxes shall not only receive their full propor tion of the collections, but be made to stand their proportion of losses, on ac count of uncollected taxes. The bill will provide a 5-per-cent penalty, and S per cent interest on all delinquent taxes, and also that the publication of the delinquent list In a paper of general circulation will be sufficient notice, doing away with the expense of the sheriff's making a levy on the property. Mr. Smith was formerly sheriff and tax collector of Polk county, and has made the assessment laws a spe cial study, and through his experience hopes to remedy existing defects. For An Experiment Stntion. Mr. Will R, King, the populist joint sen ator for Baker and Malheur counties, will try to secure an agriculture experimen tal station for Eastern Oregon, and an In terstate bridge over Snake river, some where between Ontario, In this state, and Payette, Idaho. Such a structure will cost about $12,000, and Senator King says that the Idaho legislature will appropriate half the money If he can secure a similar sum from this state. Representative Young, of Baker county, also a populist. Is a miner, and will try to have some changes made In the pres ent mining laws of the state. He wants an amendment designating the manner of locating claims, and also defining how many days of labor shall constitute a sufficient amount of assessment work on a claim, to the extent of $100 required by federal laws. After the American. Boole Company. Mr. Christopher P. Yates, of Washing ton county, one of the representatives elect, says that his county has nothing particular to ask for from the legislature except an amendment to the assessment law, so that taxes may be collected on two payments, and the re-enactment of the mortgage-tax law. He also wants a complete overhauling of the office of su perintendent of public Instruction, and he and his colleagues are Interested In as certaining If the American Book Com pany owns the state of Oregon. Mr. Yates will support Thomas Tongue, who is from his county, for United States senator so long as that gentleman has a chance for election, but If he has not, he Is not pledged to support any other per son, and will vote for the candidate he thinks will best serve the interests of the state. To Restore the Mortgage Tnr. Mr. H. G. Guild, representing Yamhill and Tillamook counties, will endeavor to secure an amendment to the assessment law so as to provide for exemption of in debtedness. The feeling Is also strong In Yamhill county, he says, for the restora tion of the mortgage tax law, and also that the collection of taxes can be made In the spring and fall, one-half at a time. So far as the senatorial contest is con- 1 cerned, he has not yet determined whom A MATCHLESS TRADING TIME For fiousBWlfe, iiGtel, boanJini-lioiisa or restaurant keepsrs, Our annual clearance sales have from year to year been the rallying times of the bargain-wise.

We also want precinct as sessors and a repeal of the law consti tuting a state board of equalization. Its function can be supplied by county boards. We also want a portage road from The Dalles, so as to give us an open river. Morrow county wants a man for senator who will favor free coinage of American silver, and protection to silver bullion by a tariff. My choice Is Thomas A. Tongue." Senator-Elect Johnson anil Silver. State Senator-elect A. J. Johnson, of Linn county, writes to The Oregonlan asking to be set right on the silver ques tion. Ho was reported Wednesday in The Oregonlan to be opposed to free coinage of silver, and a remark about his "op position to silver" was incidentally used. Mr. Johnson states that he is "opposed to free and unlimited coinage of silver, but Is a warm friend of silver, and wishes tho greatest possible amount of the same consistent with conservatism." He is op posed to extreme views. Col. JT. B. Knight JTot a. Candidate. Mr. N. B. Knight, formerly of Salem, but now of Lake county, wants it un derstood that he is not a candidate for United States senator. He says, if re porters don't stop making candidates, there will be so many In the race that Dolph will be surely beaten. His pres ence In Portland Is due entirely to pro fessional business, and he has not interest in politics. HIS HEAD CUT OFF TJXKSOWX MAX LIES DOWX BEFORE A NORTHERN PACIFIC TRAIN. CAPT.LAMSON RE-INSTATED Again n. Lieutenant in. the Navy Ready to Retire. Captain R. H. Lamson, ex-clerk of the United States circuit court, yesterday re ceived a telegram from Washington in forming him that he had been appointed a lieutenant in the n3v; that is, restored to the rank he held when he resigned In 1GG, at which time he was flag lieutenant of the European squadron. Captain Lamson's record and distin guished service in the war of the Rebel lion are well known to the public After having served through the Indian wais of 1S55 and 1S56, in the Second regiment, W. T., mounted volunteers, he was ap pointed a cadet to the naval academy at Annapolis, being the lirst cadet sent there from the Pacific coast. He grad uated at the head of his class, and went into service in the navy in 1S6L He saw considerable service, went through many hardships, was wounded four times, and won great credit for bravery and ef ficiency at tho capture of Fort Fisher, where he commanded a gunboat. He re signed in 1S66 to engage in business, and, having met with reverses, returned to Oregon, and went to farming in Yamhill county. Afterward he was apoointed clerk of the United States courts, and held this position until about two years ago. In 1S71 congress passed a bill authoriz ing the president to reinstate him In the navy. He, however, did not ask to be reinstated, and, as leng as he was able to work, he was not willing to take any back pay or pension. After he was com pelled to resign his position as clerk of the United States court, on acount of Ill-health, and was not able to do any thing, he wrote to President Cleveland and called his attention to the bill passed by congress, and asked the president to exercise the authority conferred, and appoint him a lieutenant in the navy, in order that he might be placed on the retired list, on account of disability in curred in service during the war. This application was indorsed by the bench and bar of the United States courts. It was presented by Senator Dolph last spring, and has been under advisement ever since. It was referred to the secre tary of the navy, who made a report strongly approving It, and all the naval officers joined In a recommendation for its approval. Wednesday the nomination was sent to the senate, and was approved without objection. As soon as Captain Lamscn receives his commissicn he will apply to be placed on the retired list, and given a pension. Owing to the effect of the wounds and hardships Captain Lamson endured in the navy, his health has been poor for a long time, and he says he has not drawn a breath free from suffering for 15 years. He was feeling very cheerful yesterday, and was much pleased with the honor done him, and glad to be back, figuratively, at least, among his old com rades. Of the Si members who were in his class, only fouc, are left In active service. Two of them were killed along side of him In the capture of Fort Fisher. Those unhappy persons who suffer from nervousness and dyspepsia should use Carter's Little Nerve Pills, made express ly for this class. With. Head on the Rail, anil Body Carefully Arranged, the "Wheels Crush. Out the Spark of Life. As the Northern Pacific local train, due here at 5:30, was approaching the city, yesterday evening, it passed over the body of an unknown man, who had evidently deliberately planned to commit suicide. The accident happened between the power-house and the North Pacific mills, and the first to discover It was John Crumby, employed as electrician at the power house. He immediately notified Coroner Cornelius, and an Investigation showed that the man had probably laid his head upon one of the rails, carefully arranged his body so that it would not be mutilat ed and then waited for death. The body, when found, was lying out side the rail, and the hat of the deceased lay close to the remains as though care fully placed in that position. Death must have come instantly, as the man was de capitated. The body was taken to the morgue, but last night no one was found who could Identify the remains. Deceased was ap parently about SO years of age, 165 pounds weight, five feet, eight inches in height, and wore black chin whiskers, and long hair. His right thumb had been amputat ed at the first joint, which fact may lead to Identification. Only a razor and a pair of scissors were found in the pockets. Not a paper or letter was found to dis close his identity. The body will be kept at the morgue, in the hope that someone will identify the remains, but, this fail ing, Coroner Cornelius will hold an in quest and ascertain all possible concern ing the death of the unfortunate man. RIVER TAX LEVIED. Have you tried "Blue Cross" Ceylon tea yet? Your grocer has It. "Hardman" Pianos. Wiley B. Allen Co. Six-Tenths of a, Mill by the Tort of Portland Commission. The port of Portland commission held a meetings yesterday, to decide what amount of tax should be levied for the use of the commission in improving the river yearly. The commission is em powered to leVy a tax of lJ2 mills for gen eral purposes, and. In case of emergency, half a mill for special purposes. It was suggested that the commission might be able to get along on a half-mill levy. Mr. Hughes was not In favor of paring down too close, as there might be re pairs needed, which would be of urgent necessity. The federal appropriation for the Im provement of the rivers was mentioned. Chairman McCraken said this was $50,000, and was to extend over two years. It would be spent at Postoffice bar and other points for dredging, revelments, etc. There was likely to be considerable dredging to do. It was stated that half a mill levy, after interest on the bonds was paid, would leave only about $7000 to be expended on river Improvements. An additional one tenth of a mill would realize about $3000 more. In reply to one of the members, Chair man McCraken said there was $3400 com ing from the late treasurer. This had been reckoned as on hand, but was not considered as available. Mr. Failing said it was the duty of the commission to enforce payment. They had no call to take into consideration whether banks could pay or not. Mr. Hughes moved that the commission levy a tax of six-tenths of a mill, which motion carried. In regard to collecting the balance due from the late treasurer, James Steel, Chairman McCraken said the matter had been talked over a number of times, but nothing had been done. It was believed the bonds were sufficient. Mr. Hughes moved that the finance com mittee be directed to proceed with the collection of the amount due from the former treasurer, which motion carried. Mr. Hughes offered the following reso lution: "Whereas, George B. Markle has ceased to reside within the limits of this port, "Resolved, That his place on this com mission be declared vacant." It was asked if it were a fact that Mr. Markle had given up his residence here. Mr. Hughes said he had moved all his household goods, family, horses, etc., away, and had shaken the dust of Port land off his feet, and it Is understood that he Is never to return. The resolution was adopted, and the matter of filling the vacancy created was deferred till next meeting.
