At 93c pair THE EVE OF THE STRUGGLE j I I REPUBLICANS CONFIDENT OF A BIG VICTORY. Democrats Not So Confident, but Serene Little Election Excite ment In. the North End. There was no undue excitement at the political headquarters of cither party in Portland esterday, though the candlaates and committeemen realized they were on the eve of a great contest. Bejond the buying of a few drinks by the 'various candidates there was little life In the North End, and that quarter of the city wore its usual Sunday air. Crowds of Idle men thronged the streets to endure the music, singing, praying and exhorting of the various armies who hold services and pass the hat in the neighborhood of Third and Burnside street. Registration, It is believed, has a good deal to do with the orderly appearance of things, as there is as no horde of trans slent men to offer their votes In the In terest of this or that Jolly good fellow on the morrow. Registration has there fore eystcmatizjM the manner of conduct ing a political campaign, even In the North End. At the Republican headquarters a good deal of activity was displayed, and those who have been carefully figuring on the probable result, based on reports from various precincts, predict a complete vic tory, with votes to spare. At the Demo cratic committee-rooms, things looked somewhat quieter, but the officials ex pressed moderate confidence that things would come their way. Altogether the party leaders seemed to feel as though the hard work of preparation was over, and that the figures today will simply be the result of the vigorous campaign ef forts of the past few weeks. It was a calm, quiet Sunday, but the deep Inter est felt In the election was often mani fest In the greeting, "Well, how's things look?" "All right, all right; we've been making votes every day." BIRTH OF HYBRID TICKET. Hott the Democrats Worked It TJx for Their Own Ends. The Citizens movement, so-called, which put forth the Fusion Legislative ticket. Is nothing more than a scheme to serve the Democrats. One of the remote purposes was the Installment of the portly Judge Thomas O'Day In the United States Sen ate. There were no Republicans In tha movement, save a few willing aids to the Democrats. J. E. Hunt. C. WT. Notting ham and L. H. Tarpley are the agents of Judge O'Day, and Mr. Hunt's clerk is sec retary of the great Citizens movement, and distributes the anonymous literature prepared for him by the Democratic Cen tral Committee. These facta are told by J. SL Head, one of the members of the Good Government Association, who Is ab solutely Informed on every detail of the work. Mr. Head said yesterda: "There never nas been a real Citizens movement -That whole thing was hatched and worked up by the Democrats, particularly Judge O'Day, working with P. A. McPherson. The Good Government people got Into trouble immediately after starting forth, whei. McPherson conceived the Idea that the time was ripe for doing something with It. and he and O'Day took the matter in cbarge. The Democrats knew their Leg islative ticket stood little show, unless they could get it In on some ruse. A com mittee of five was appointed by the Dem ocrats to confer. Then McPherson got hold of the members of the Good Gov ernment Association that would stay to gether and endeavor to do something. There was really no meeting of the sign ers of the petition originating the Good Government moement. No more than 30 ever got together, and this was a meet ing packed by McPherson. McPherson wanted Ballou In the chair because he "nas a willing tool and easily handled, but Ballou began connuvlatlng with Storey and got the members down on him. Finally a committer of five was appointed to con fer with other parties, the Democrats be ing understood, for the few members present when the committee was appoint ed were packed by the Democrats. Hunt and Nottingham were In this, and fully understood the plan. "When the time for the Democratic con vention approached there was lively work. The committees did not yet have enough men to go on the Fusion ticket, be cause hardly any Republicans would takfc the nomination. There had to be a few to give the ticket a color of being non partisan. Hunt and Nottingham were all right, and Tarpley was Judge O'Day's partner, who had Senatorial aspirations. One adjournment had to be taken to give iurther time. When the meeting was held In the Democratic headquarters to organ ize the Citizens movement out of the Good Government Association, there were only these four or five Republicans pres ent. They had to adjourn until that even. lng to get the 100 required. Then the Democratic convention was about to con vene and the Democratic delegates were taken up to the room to form the Citizens movement. William Reld was named chairman, but his secretary. Morgan, would not stand for the work, and Hunt's clerk had to be chosen. It was all a Democratic affair, and the Ave or six Re publicans present had some arrangement bj which they were working. Judge O'Day wanted everything done under the name of the Citizens movement, but Dr. Ladies' Handkerchiefs All Pure Linen 2 for 25c Ladles who understand values appre ciate pure linen handkerchiefs.

PORTLAND, June 3. (To the Editor.) At the specia. session of the Legislature in 1SS5, the act was passed creating the watsor committee and empowering It to provide a water supply lor the city. This is the act which resulted In Portland be ing supplied with Bull Run water. Hon. Goorge L. Story was a member cf the House of Representatives at that session. He introduced the water bill in the House, and Hon. J. C. Cai-yon, then one of the; Senators from this county Introduced the same bill In the Senate. The . Senate reached and. parsed the bill before It could be reached In the House. On the Sen ate bill coming Into the. House Mr. Story at once took personal charge of the Sen ate bU and pushed It through .The spe cial session was of short duration, and but for Mr. Story's watchfulness and care the water bill would probably not have been passed. Mr. Stdry Is a candi date on the Republican ticket for Repre sentative at the present election. All citi zens who enjoy the benefits of Bull Run water ought to vote for him. At the same session the first registration law was passed. Mr. Story worked" and voted for it. Mr. Story was a"eo a mem ber of tho House In 1831. At that session the law regulating primary elections, the Australian ballot law and the .act provid ing' for the consolidation of Portland. East Portland and Alblna wore all passed. Mr. Story in tho House and Hon. Donald Mac kay, who was then a Senator from this count', and is now a candidate on tho Republican ticket for re-election to the Senate, both worked and voted for the passage of all these acts and contributed largely to their passage. When It came to bringing m tho water from Bull Run. additional legislation was found necessary. Senator Mackay se cured its passage. The Interests of the people of Multnomah County will be pro moted by the election of such faithful, experienced and effidewt legislators. O. F. P. On. the Bant Side. On the East Side the prospects for a big majority for the entire Republican ticket are considered excellent. There has been a constant Improvement In the situation in all the four East Side Wards. The methods of campaign adopted by Mayor Storey in that part of the city have been losing him friends every day, while Henry S. Rowe has been constantly gain ing. On the Mayor contest it Is considered that Mr. Rowe will cross the river from the East Side with not less than 1500 ma jority over Storey. In the Eighth Ward, where a special light was made against Mr. Rowe a few weeks ago, the opposition bas broken down. Russell E. Sewall, who has been so outrageously maligned, will carry his own ward with a big majority. His neighbors and friends there are de termined to show his standing at hlB home by rolling up his majority. The best of feeling prevails all through the ward in spite of the efforts to cause dissensions. In the Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Wards there will be surprising majorities for the regular Republican ticket. Mayor Storey as a Bartender. But few cities of 80.000 inhabitants can boast of a Mayor of such diversified qual ities as those possessed by Hia Honor, Mayor Storey. Saturday evening he went into a saloon on the comer of Russell and Railroad streets, Alblna. diligently helped the barkeeper dish up beer to a thirsty crowd of 25 or more men. After lending a hand until thirst had been quenched, the Mayor pulled out two or three $5 bills and generously paid for the beer con sumed. A photograph of Portland's chief executive wearing a barkeeper's apron and "slinging" beer might produce a bad im pression on straight-laced, church people Who do not understand politics. Such a picture could have been taken Saturday night in a saloon at the lower end of Rus sell street, as 40 men will swear on oath. Election Wsjer. Quite a number of bets were made yes terday on the success of several candi dates at today's election. Party bets are few, and none are known to exist out side of a few small amounts on the Legislative tickets. A. A Rosenthal bet Captain Spencer yesterday afternoon $200 that Donald Mackay would be elected, and bet $103 later on with Larry Sullivan i that Sewall would carry the county. Cap tain Spencer also bet Patsy Elkles $200 that Storey would be elected. A number of wagers were entered Into for amounts between $50 and $100 that Frasier would poll at least SOW -votes.

WHY YOUR TAXES ARE LOW CAPT. GREEXLEAF'S EFFICIENCY AS COUNTY ASSESSOR. Great Savlasr" to the Taxpayer N'ott, and No Chance for Increase Next Year. To the Taxpayers: In order that the taxpayers may not bo misled by some of the statements re cently made by speakers who axe opposed to my candidacy. In regard to my conduct of the AssfflSors offlce, I will try ana state briefly the true condition of affairs. The taxes this year, as most of the tax payers are aware, are very much lower than they have been for several years. I As compared wltn last year, tne raxes this year In the whole county are $225,000 less. The total valuation of -property for this year Is SU.O00.OW less than It was in 189S. This reduction resulted in tho cav ing to the taxpayers of $45,000 on state tax; $56,000 on state school tax; $S1,000 on city tax and $15.0C0 on Port of Portland , tax. This, added to tho reduction of special school tax In District No. L resulted m a saving to the taxpayers of the City or Portland and the County of Multnomah of $250,000. The reduction of valuation of property was made by myself In the fac of the most bitter opposition of a num ber of officials connected with the city governintnti It Is claimed now, owing to the low taxes of this year, that there will bo deficits In the several funds which will have to be made good by a higher levy next year. This Is not true, for the reason that, under the city charter no Indebtedness can be Incurred by issuing warrants "not paid for want of funds." The expense or the city must be kept witllln the limit of the taxes raised on the fixed levy-jof 8 mills. The same Is true In regard to the fixed state school levy of 5 mills and of the 14 mills for the Port of Portland. An examination of the amount required by the County Commissioners for county and road purposes reveals the fact that for this year the county and road tax Is higher than It was last year by $20,039. I wish to assure the taxpayers of Mult nomah County that the assessed valuation for 1900 will be- no higher than It was In 1899. Or, In other words, I propose to keep this county, so far as assessed valua tion Is concerned, on a level with the other counties of the state. Some of the speakers ask the question, "Why was not tho valuations reduced In former years?" Why this great reduction In the year 1S99? T find by comparing the assessed, valua tlons of this county from 1KH to the pres ent year that they were as follows: 1S84 $54,000,000 I 1S97 $44,000,000 1S95 52.000.000 1SJS 43.000.000 1S96 51,000.000 ' 1S99., 32,000;0 The figures above show that as As sessor I nave tried to bring the valuations of the county down", and this, too. It must be remembered, was done during the years when wo had an Institution known as the State Board of Equalization, whose prin cipal aim seemed to be to cinch' ifultno. mah County. Fortunately for this county, this board was abolished at the special session In 1SSS. And in making up the 1S99 roll It was the first year that we had an opportunity to give Multnomah County an equal assessment with the other coun ties of the state. At a convention of Assessors of the state hold In this city last February, the low valuation of Multnomah County, as com pared with former years, was considerably discussed, and, after the close of two days' session, I was assured by nearly alL the Assessors that they were perfectly satisfied that the valuation of Multnomah I County was on a level, or, in other words, on an-equality, with the valuations of the other counties of the state Governor FOULARD SILKS THIS SHOULD INTEREST YOU At these prices our high grade choice Foulard Silks jare leading bargains.

Meanwhile- the beautiful view of Portland and Its -surroundings was suffi cient appeal to beguile the waiting mln tjes. And the cold, damp atmosphere found a responsive harmony In the masses of gray clouds hanging like a pall over the northern and eastern sky. Here and there were white spiral columns of fleecy qlbuds relieving the somlerries3 of the ce lestial vault. Suddenly a rift of light that had be tokened the sun's abode all along widened, and tho sun burst Into full view. It was then almost 20 minutes past 5, and the smoked glass revealed a gibbous sun.

Marie Yoar Ballot "Yes," if Yon Want the Parks-Taken Oat. of Politics. ' One of the most Important questions to be decided' today bythe people of Port land Is the sBytem of managing the public, parka of the city. Heretofore the parks have been under the control of the Coun cil, and the result., as Is unlversally known, has been that politics affected their' management. Other large cities have bod the same experience. Today tne voters" will determine whether the parks shall continue 00, or shall be placed un der the management of a park commis sion, Temoved as far as possible from the turbulence and changefulnesa of politics. An association of the best citizens of Portland is working for the establishment of the park commission. They who have studied the parks of all the large cities in the United States think this is the only way to assure Portland's parks the attention and scientific care they demand. The'propoaltlon being voted on today Is according to the law enacted at the last Legislature, providing that the electors of cities of certain size should determine by ballot whether a park commission should be created. If a majority of the electors vote "yes," the four Circuit judges of this judicial district will appoint five citizens tx act with the.Clty Engineer, and Auditor as a commission. This com mission will "be empowered to levy a tax not exceeding one-half mill' for park, pur poses. It Is not compelled to levy any amount, but cannot exceed one-half mill, unless the proposition is again submitted to the electors of raising an additional half mill. By this provision it has been the purpose of the framers of the law to place It within the power of the people to Indicate how much shall beexpended on their parks. In the distribution of the money raised, the park commission, which is not on salary, Is certainly capable of administering park affairs as cheaply as the Council. There is no reason why parks should cost a cent more under the new system, and there Is every hope that much less money will bo expended, ac cording to the amount of work done, which can be regulated by the people.

(To the Ed ltor.) The Oregonian has persistently opposed the constitutional amendment providing for an Increase in the number of -the Judges In the Supreme Court, with arguments that seem to be captious. Too many officials have been created in the past, but the judiciary Is one branch of the Government that should not -be treated niggardly or parsi moniously. Our Supreme Court Is over worked, ft is admitted. The remedy ac cording to the Oregonian, Is to limit ap peals, when we reap of the agitation In some of the older states to make courts absolutely free.

It would t be as reasonable to deprive one of the right to bring actions to recover small amounts In the first Instance. "While It woyld not, perhaps, cause material loss to the public interest to restrict appeals such a law would be trespassing upon fundamental rights and would lead to other legislation along the same line. The argument that It would Increase the burden of taxation Is without much force, as the Legislature has that power to fix the fees to be paid, and make the court self-sustaining. At the present time the costs paid upon appeal amount to ?i5. If the Supreme Court could try two cases a day or 600 In a year, the rev enue thus received would amount to $27,000. If necessary the fees could be In creased or the expense of the judiciary j could be lessenrd by cutting off the half dozen additional Circuit Judges with which some of the districts are encum bered.
