V" -jp-M,"' THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, 'APRIL 21; 1900. HOT SHOT AT BALLOU The Boss Writes a Letter for Publication. HIS STATEMENTS FLATLY DENIED Opinions of Member of Good Citi zens' Jlovemcnt Freelr nd Candidly Expressed. A communication received yesterday from O. H. Ballou. late campaign man ager of the late good citizenship move ment. Indicates that the writer and the ment who went Into the movement lie lleving It to be purely a moral agent by which certain reforms could be effected, are not entirely in accord. The state ments made in the communication are emphatically denied by all the persons whose names are mentioned, and severe men who wero associated with Mr. Ballou during his connection with the cause of good citizenship have no hesitancy in as-a-rtlng that his purpose was to throw the cause to the Interests of a Mitchell legis lative ticket and the candidacy of W. A. Storey for Mayor. Mr. Ballou's letter follows: , . "Portland, April 19. (To the Editor.)-I was somewhat surprised to read in this morning"s Orcgonian the statement made by Rev. Edgur P. Hill. D. D. relative to the rcllgio-polltlcal situation. If Dr. Hlil made such statements as are credited to him. they are absolutely false. The rea son and sole and only cause for Dr. Hill's withdrawal from the Good Government Association, as given by himself, is as fol lows: A few days after the first meeting of the association. Dr. Hill called upon me In person and appeared to be greatly em barrassed, saying that he had slept only in hour or two the previous night, and that Mr. Corbett, Mr. Wallace McCamant and Mr. J. Thorburn Ross, who were all members of his church, were opposed to the movement so far as the primary elec tion was concerned, and unless such move ment was stopped It would break up his congregation. He therefore urgently In sisted that ary action taken at the pri mary election by the association would have to be discontinued. This question was afterwards discussed at a meeting of the association, and Dr. Hill's views of the matter were unanimously voted down. The association thereby determined to proceed to place an Independent ticket In the field at the primary election, but unfortunately a disagreement arose be tween the members of the executive com mittee as to certain modes of procedure, and the members of that committee there after resigned. "A new committee was appointed, con sisting of five members of the association, which last committee remained Inactive and did nothing whatever under the di rection of Dr. Hill and the members of the Republican party who held him under control. Thus it will be seen the very object of the Republican party was ac complished through a person pretending to be for good government. Dr. Hill says he Is satisfied with the ticket nominated by the Republican party, and all I can say Is that the doctor Is easily satlsfltd. "Why Is It that the doctor's apprecia tion of a 'good ticket now and one month last past has so radically changed? Will the doctor point out where the weeding-out has been done? Is It not more rcasonabio to presume that the doctor's Ideas of what Is a 'good ticket' have been changed Instead of the ticket? I am quite certain there has "been a change, but Just exactly where the change is I am unable to state or particularly point out. but I believe that tho only logical conclusion is that the Reuubllcan members of Dr. Hill's church have persuaded the doctor to belie his con science, and thereby created a Republican. "In conclusion. I wish to state that to my vision Dr. Hill occupies the same no. Eitlon In the Good Government Association that a piece of driftwood on the bank of the river does to the past flood. "O. H. BALLOU." Dr. 11111'n Plntn Denial. When Dr. HU was shown this communi cation yesterday he emphatically denied the statement that he had been dissuaded from remaining active in the movement by the influence of Republican members of his congregation. He soon found, he raid, that an effort was "being made to unite the movement with the Mitchell cause, and that a deal had been set on foot with Mayor Storey. "While I fe;l at perfect liberty as a citi zen," said he, "to oppose any member of my congregation for any office I choose to, and, while as a pastor I am willing to espouse the cause of reform whenever the opportunity arifes, I cannot as a pastor give countenance to any movement which Is purely in the interests of any faction. I made this statement to Mr. Baliou, men tioning to him the fact that certain promi nent members of my congregation were taking an active part In politics, and stat ing that it would not be becoming in me to unite with any political movement, un less that movement was conducted purely In the interests of reform, which I sup. posed this was when I entered It. This, I presume. Is what he means when he re fers to a conversation with me. "I did not say that unless the move ment was stopped It would break up my congregation: I said nothing about any action at the primaries; and I did not say I was satisfied with the Republican ticket. "Shortly after Mr. Ballou became" con nected with the movement he Informed ma that "things were coming our way" better than he expected. I asked him what ho meant, and he said that the Mitchell peo ple were going to unite with us. I said We did not want the Mitchell people, or the people of any other faction, and he replied inai ii mey wanted to come in they could do no harm. I began to see how things were going, and. believing that we were In danger of beine broucht Into disrepute. I decided to have nothing more to do with the matter. "Shortly after that I received a telephone message from Dr. Wells, who asked me If Ballou had authority to treat with po litical pnrtles as a representative of the Good Citizens League. I raid that h9 naa not. and the doctor told me that Ballou had teen to him and suggested the appointment of a conference commit- tee consisting of Democrats and members of the league. Reports of other attempted "deals' came to my ears, and determined me all the more to remain outside the movement. "I speak entirely without bitterness or feeling In the matter. I am. as I have stated, willing to unite with any move ment that promise reform, but I am not willing to act with any pDlItlcal faction." Xever Tried to r.Iwmic Illm. H. W. Corbett. when shown the com munication, said: "The statement that I had anything to do with dissuading Dr. Hill from taking any part In this movement Is utterly false. I have never had a conversation with Dr. Hill on any poetical subject." .otuIn In Itnllou's Yarn. The letter was shown to J. Thorburn Ross, who said: "Any one who knows Dr. Hill knows that It would be Impossible for any one to frighten him out of any thing he un dertook. Once he was In a movement he believed to le right, opposition would only make him the more determined. I never had any conversation with Dr. Hill on that subject, and I certainly never Intimated to him that what he did would be displeasing to me or any other Re publican In the church. I had one or two conversions with Ballou. He was anxious for a conference "between the league and the Republican Central Com mittee, and I told him I would try to ar range one, as he central committee wanted .Jus: what the league did gocd men for office. The next time I saw him he told me that he had made arrange- ments with Storey, and after that I dropped the matter. I wanted nothing more to do with it. I know positively that Dr. Hill was not approached on the subject of his membership In the league by any member of the congregation, and I know that no other course than an at tempt at bluffing him could make him more set In his determination." Sever Talked About It. After reading the letter. "Wallace Ma Camant said: "Having seen the communication signed by O. H. Ballou, I can say that It It was the desire of Its author to Jnslnuato that I had urged Dr. Hill to withdraw from the 'Good Government movement,' I de sire to say that such U not the fact. I have never at any time referred to this movement In conference with Dr. Hill; nor have I at any time since the last general election In 1S3S made any request on him with reference to political action. A few days before the Republican pri maries I did confer with him on tho sub ject of nominating a suitable Councilman from the Fourth Ward, In which both he and I reside. I suggested "W. T. Branch for this office, and the suggestion met with his approval. This Is the only subject which was discussed between us, and at the Interview there was no reference what ever to any other office." Ills Statements Utterly False. H. "W. Stone, secretary of the T. M. C A., who was one of the original mover In a, plan to unite the citizens to nominate a ticket. In speaking of the matter, mid: "Ballou tfltd to make deals with the Mitch ell people, with Storey. In fact. I believe with every one who had any money. Ho A RELEASE From the Q. G. Pledges. Inasmuch, as the Good Gov ernment movement lins been perverted from the object for which It was originally formed, all persons who signed pledges nt my solicita tion are released from all ob ligations to the same. The pledges have never Rone oat of my hands, and tvlll lie de stroyed. ' Til O.MAS IIOVD. Portland, April 21, 1000. nearly brought the movement Into disre pute, and three distinct and several Hints we got him "out of it, only to find him bobbing up again in some way each time. It was. I believe, his only purpose to use the league for his own personal Interests, and when the members found thte out, they were soon glad to be rid of him."' "Wonted to Support Storey. Mr. Stone's assistant, Oscar Cox, served for a time on a committee with Mr. Bal lou, and had on opportunity to see the objects which the latter was playing for. " "He came to me one day," said Mr. Cox, yesterday, "and told me that he wanted the league to support Storey. " 'If that is what you are going to do," said I, "I will resign." He said he thought that was for the best Interests of all concerned, and, feeling that he "either had been misinformed concerning Storey, or was In some kind of a deal with him, I withdrew from the committee, aa did Mr. Davis, the other member. What other deals he may have made or was intending to make I cannot say, but I was satisfied that he was working for hifl own selfish Interests, and I decided to have nothing more to do with him. He was finally forced to resign, but got back somehow or other, and we turned him down agaloi Whct he has to do with the matter now I do not know." For City Offices Only. The communication was shown to Mr. L. B. Cox. one of the members of the ex ecutive committee of the Good Govern ment organization, and he was asked if he could throw any light upon the controversy outlined' by the communication. Ho replied that he could not; that the movement had been presented to him In the first Instance by Dr. Hill and Mr. Ballou, at which time there did not seem to be any line of ac tion adopted by the Good Government or ganization. It was represented by these gentlemen that this organization intended to bring Its Influence to bear only upon the municipal offices and the office of DIs trist Attorney. Mr. Cox was requested to eerve as a member of the executive com mittee. It having been represented to him that he had been chosen at some previous meeting as a member of this committee. Ho did not determine to act upon the com mittee for some time, nor until the move ment had formulated more definite plans than had been at first outlined to him. Tho culmination of the matter and the bads upon which he agreed to serve upon the committee wao that all the functions of the Good Government movement were to be merged In the executive committee of five persons, to-wlt. William M. Ladd, E. C. Bronaugh. David Dalglelsh, Oscar M. Cox and L. B. Cox. The action which tho committee understood it was to take was to go alike to the controlling Influ ences in all of the political parties and de mand that good nominations should be made for the respective municipal office and for the office of District Attorney. If all parties -acceded to this demand and placed good men In the field as candidates, tho members of the Good Government or ganization were to be free to vote their political preferences. If, on the other hand, one party made a good nomination in the Judgment of the committee and other parties made obnoxious nomina tions, then the committee was to recom mend to the member of the Good Gov ernment organization that they should support the candidate who had been an. i proved by Its committee and oppose the I ono wno naa oecn condemned by the com- mittee. This was the sum and substance of the whole matter, as Mr. Cox agreed to take hold of It and serve upon the committee. TWO NOMINEES DECI.IXE.

Beyond stating that they would not run, neither had any statement to make, but it Is understood that they had assured the members of 'the con-" vention that they would take the nomina tion under no circumstances, and the del egates, believing that no Democrat would really refuse anything when It was offered him. nominated them any way. Tho cen tral committee, which has power to fill ail vacancies on the ticket. wae out late last night with a locomotive headlight looking for some one to run . In thclt places, but at last accounts had been un successful. Nominations for most of the fusion Leg islative ticket seemed to have been a eur prise both to the nominees and to their friends. The Orcgonlan furnished moro than one with the- first notice of his great ness. Acceptance of the honor was not nlways, nor Is yet. a matter of course. Among the Republican members, there was manifest a disposition to wait for the other Republican members to act before pledging" Individual acceptance. All day those Interested argued that D. P. Thomp son would and would not accept the nom ination. One man would be met who would assert with certainty (hat Mr. Thompson would net. while the next mo ment a man would be met who had a statement direct that he would not. The statement by Mr. Thompson In The Orc gonlan convinced many that he had no purpose or desire to become a candidate. while others read between the lines a subtle Indication of a purpose to become a candidate under proper Influence. Dr. A. C Smith said that he had ac cepted the nomination, an admission that contrasted strongly with the numerous conditions Imposed by others before mak ing a statement either way. He said, be ing a Democrat, of course he had con sented to enter the race. Otto Schuman said he had never at tended a political convention, and was not aware that his name was being consid ered as a candidate. When the list print ed in The Oregonlan camo to his atten tion he was very much astonished, and was not ready yesterday to' state where he stood in regard to the candidacy. His pol itics In National affairs bad been of the Democratic persuasion. J. J. Shipley said his nomination was a completo surprise, and he had not given the matter sufficient thought to determine whether he .would accept or not. This de cision rested largely on who and what the ticket was. which he would have to Inves tigate further before reaching a final con clusion. C W. Nottingham said his honor came unsought. He claimed to be as ardent a Republican as there was In the State of Oregon, gold standard through and through. Indorsing the McKlnley Adminis tration fully, which convictions would not be altered by the acceptance of the nom ination. Mr. Nottingham has been one of the workers in the Good Government movement. As for support of the hybrid ticket, the Democracy seemed. In some instances, at least, to be bracing to swallow the pill. Some of those who opposed fusion In the convention raid their fight would extend no further. When the ticket was made out they would feel constrained to work for it. There are several who Insist that they are Democrats, pure and simple, for principle rather than office, and that no amount of conjurations will affect their purpose to 6teer clear of these entangle ments. George Hutchln, W. L. Catena and C K. Henry said they would stand by the ticket. PERSONAL MENTION. A. B. Little, of Houlton, Is registered at the Perkins. J. W.

ONE MORE OAY OF SHOW FIXE DOGS -WILL BE OX rAItADB TODAY. List of Awards Completed Yesterday Special Children's Matinee This Afternoon. But one more day of the Portland Ken nel Club's bench show of this season re mains lor the people of Portland. This evening the fine collection of blooded dogs will be seen for the last time this year in exhibition here. Yesterday Judge Payno completed the awarding of medals and dlolomus to the various classes, a work of much magnitude and difficulty, which was naturally attended by disappointment for some. This morning at loao o'clocK wm begin the Judging for the special prizes. around which attaches the greatest inter est. These special prizes consist of silver cups, plates and such other medals as pri vate Individuals have seen fit to offer as encouragement to the breeding of fine dogs. While the awards of the past threo days practically settle the possession of the private prizes, there yet remains con siderable doubt on details, which will be decided by the Judge today. This after noon, beginning at 2 o clock, there will be a matinee for children, when the trained dogs will perform. It is probable that the cups and other individual prizes will be delivered to the winners this evening, which will be an occasion of great Inter est. In this award the prize for the best decorated kennel will be Included. Two dogs became champions by their triumphs nt the "bench show clos ing today. These are Count Dick F., the English setter belonging to C. D. Stlmson. of Seattle, and Count Mack, the Irish setter, exhibited by Tudor J. A. Tiedemann. of Portland. .It will be of further Interest to know that Mr. Tledcmann's dog is a Portland dog in nearly every sense, as we was brought here when a very young pup. He has won his championship title-' without a single defeat. The most Interesting animal In the show Is Countess Noble, belonging to Judge Payne. Sho Is merely here on ex hibition, and Is not in the competition In any manner. Countess Noble has all the honors the proudest dog could ask for. She has won 26 medals, silver and gold cups In bench shows, two field trials, and Is the dam of three bench-show champions. One of her Illustrious progeny, Queen ot Counts, occupied the same kennel with her, and appeared In the championship class. This Is but one or two of the blue bloods in the show. To a pereon who Is not particularly en amored with dogs, the bench show seems in point of noise much like a Populist convention. A grouty old chap who vis ited tho show yosterday was escorted around by a friend and 6eemcd Impressed by several things. He wanted to know why so many of the dogs kept up such an incessant barking and why so many of their owners seemed Inclined the same way. He was told that It was because there were not prizes enough to go around, which satisfied him. He was amused at seeing over a den of particu larly snappy-looking fox terriers a card bearing the Inscription, "Don't handle the dogs." Ho remarked that putting the card there seemed to him a work of superer rogatlon. He admired the great big fat St. Bernard dogs lolling In their pens, but waa of opinion that, if they were sent out in a snow storm on the Mount St. Gothard pass to rescue belated travelers. It would take all the monks at tho Hospice of the great St. Bernard to get them back. He looked at a monstrous brindled Great Dane dog for some time and quoted: "There sat fluid Nick In shape of beast; a towsy tike, big, grim and large." A tiny Italian greyhound, a mere shadow, which a breath would blow away, attracted his attention, but rot favorably. A wall-eyed, white-faced, brindled bulldog, of genuine French breed, he voted the ugliest beast In the room and could not understand whj It-had a blue ribbon, nor why there were no French poodles present. Pugs and Jap anese spaniels be passed with a snort of contempt, but gazed long and earnestly at several rusty, frosty looking "yaUer"" dogs, which an attendant told him were Irish "terriers." Ho said ho now knew why some of .our most patriotic and eloquent citizens were given the eame title. Finally, when he got among the Scotch collies, ho began to smile approval, and when ho saw tho English fetters and pointers, he was delighted, and launched out Into a dissertation on the good qualities of the Anglo-Saxon race, which, he said, extend ed even to their dogs and made them su perior to French, Italian and all other Continental dogs. A pretty little loving cup of solid silver, offered by Captain W. J. Riley as a prlzo for the best pointer or setter exhibited at the dog show, was not accepted by the manager, on the ground that it brought two classes of dogs into competition. Cap tain Riley Is perfectly willing that it should be made one of the special prizes to be awarded today, and an endeavor will b3 made to have this done. It seems a pity that any prize offered should be re jected when there are so many more dogs than prizes. In the following awards. H. T. Payne was Judge of all classes. The awards for first, second and third prizes were: First, silver medal; second, diploma; third, dip loma. This applies all through tho awards In the following list.

A letter eays: "I drank Im ported coffee because I needed something warm with my meals. While I was using coffee I was thin In flesh and nervous, with stomach trouble as well as bowel and kidney trouble. I left off coffee In 1S9S, taking Postum Food Coffee In its place. "I was fortunatt. in the first trial of Postum. when It was well made by the wife of a groceryman. who had used It long enough to know Juet how to make It right. It tasted so good to me that I have had It at home ever since, and havo gained 20. pounds. I am much strongor than I was a year ago. "It speaks pretty well for the food value of the Postum Food Coffee, for a person 70 years old to gain weight at that age. Not only that, but the old trouble with tho stomach, kidneys and bowels has disappeared." Health does not always set In Imme diately after a person makes a change In diet, nor does sickness always set In Im mediately after bad habits are taken up. but the dally life maintained by good food and good drink, free from poisonous ele ments like coffee, will gradually build in new and perfect cells In the human body, so that month by month a sturdy and steady condition of health Is set up that will carry a person through many Irreg ularities of sleep and diet, and through a vast amount of hard work, whereas a per son who Is Just barely well, subject to continual trouble from some sort of ail ment caused by coffee and Its effects on the nerves, would be completely pros trated and be unable to carry out the work of life.

Lost night the April Social of the Young Men's Christian Association was In charge ot the young people of the First Christian church. An especially erected stage was placed In the gymnnstum from which tho musical and literary numbers were ren dered. Tho entire programme was excel lent and much appreciated by the largo audience present. The programme was opened by a piano solo from Miss Nellie Hennesy; then Mr. James Burger sang "As Your Hair Grows "Whiter." The third number was a most' unique rendition of the "'Songs of Seven." In as many different parts, each part be ing taken by a different person, repre senting exultation, romance, love, maturn- Ity, widowhood, giving In marriage, long ing for home. Miss Maud Springer sang, "Of the Springtime Days." Miss Hoopen garner captured the audience with a reci tation about finding "The Nest of the Old Speckled Hen." Miss Viola Gilbert sang, "The Quiet Moon Is Beaming." Tho marked feature of the evening was tho rendering of the cantata. "The Ten Vir gins." by as many young ladles dressed In white, five taking the part of the wise virgins who had provided themselves with oil and five who delayed until the gate was closed, only to hear tho pathetic strain. "Too late, ye cannot enter now." Professor M. M. Rlng-.er gave an exhi bition of electric Club swinging. Tha formal programme was followed by an en joyable social In the parlors of the build ing, bountiful refreshments being served. A basket-ball game between the Intermedi ates and the evening class resulted In a score of 8 to 13, in favor ot the Inter mediates.
