THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1900. RETURN OF DEMOCRATIC PARTYTO POWER (Copyright, 1000, by Seymour Eaton.) THfcOREGONlAN'S HOME STUDY CIRCLE;. DIRECTED BY PROF. SEYMOUR EATON AMERICAN POLITICAL PARTIES BY HDN. JES3B MACY. xxri. Growing: Division in the Republican Party. Immediately -upon the close of the -arar tendencies appeared lor certain sections at the Republican, party to act at times "with the Democrats. Strict loyalty to Party ties did not prevail. So strong had this 'disintesratlnEr tendency become by 3CT2 that in the Presidential campaign of that year we have seen the National Dem ocratic party accepting the candidates nominated by the disaffected Republicans. The formation and consolidation of a distinct reform element In the party took place later, as a result of the exposure of a series of outrageous scandals involving In some cases persons of high official rank and of long and honorable political ca reers. Mention has already been made of the most famous of these the Credit Mo tolller transaction, the -jvhlsky ring frauds, the salary grab, the star route pecula tions. For these and other delinquencies the party in power was held responsible and was severely arraigned, not by Its political opponents only, but by many of its own adherents. During and after the war there grew tip a new system of party organization and management, designated as tho "boss system" or "machine politics." The par ty gradually ceased to-he the organized representative of all its members, and hecame the representative of only a distinct inner circle of party mem bers, who were in close alliance "wth offi cial patronage and with financial interests which depended upon political action. This inner circle, called "the machine," controlled to a large extent the whole organization and managed party affairs for the benefit of the members of the machine, in selfish conspiracy against the interests of the body of the party and the general public. Opposition within the party therefore took the form of criticism of specific abuses and a demand for re form of the civil service. It was this op position which came near electing the Democratic candidate in 1876, -which re sisted the third term for Grant in 1BS0 and elected Cleveland in ISSi. Arthur's Administration. Party dissensions persisted throughout Arthur's term of office. Events strength ened the reform element and enabled it to carry through Congress the civil service reform bill. Tariff reform was also brought forward for discussion. The war tariff was for the most part still In force. "With the return of prosperity after re sumption of specie payments, and the re vl"al of business, the great Increase of National revenue from customs poured In to the treasury an average surplus of over $100,000,000 per annum. The situation compelled public attention and tariff re vision was seen to he imperative. A, tar iff commission was appointed in 1882 to recommend legislation, and the following year an act inaugurating very moder ate tariff reform was passed. These tar iff measures did not, however. Involve the arraying of one party, against the other, nor the triumph of one faction In the Republican party over another. Party distinctions were greatly obscured. In each party existed a strong Independent element not subservient to the party whip, and at the same time a multitude of intelligent voters had ceased to class themselves as members of either party. The Personal Campaign of 18S4. The Issues growing out of the war had passed from the field of practical poll tics, and parties had not yet divided sharply upon new and clearly defined issues. Hence it happened that the cam paign hill of 18S4 was guided by per sonal considerations rather than by op posing views of great public questions. Grover Cleveland, the Democratic can didate, had first achieved political prom inence as a reforming Sheriff, of "JJuffalo. N. Y and in 1682 had been made Gov ernor of -his state by an overwhelming majority. His conduct of state affairs won him the especial favor of the inde pendent Republicans, who were beginning James G. Bin In e. to be called "mugwumps." The hame class of Republicans had made use of the great - popularity of James G. Blaine In 1S76 and again in 1SS0' to break the force of the "stalwart" fac tion which was devoted to the candidacy of Grant, But before the same magnetic statesman came for the third time before a Republican convention as a candidate for the Presidential nomination he had cbme to personate in the eyes of the independent Republicans all that was cor rupt and dangerous in American politics. In spite of their opposition Blaine re ceived the nomination, and his candidacy was immediately and openly repudiated by a large proportion of the Republican press and by many prominent Individuals. The Republican defection greatly Influ enced Xhe action of the Democrats, whose convention met a few days later. It may be said that their nomination was prac tically dictated by the Republican bolters. Cleveland was their choice and also the choice of a large majority of the New York delegation, although he had strong opposition Trom Tammany Hall. As party issues were not made promi nent and "party lines were not drawn with precision the election turned largely upon the personal -records of the candi dates. The final result was for some days in doubt. The South was still solidly Democratic: all the Northern States ex cept Connecticut, Indiana, New Jersey and New Tork went Republican, and New York was claimed by both parties. Upon the count In that state the decision turned and the corrected final returns gave to the country onco more a Democratic Presi dent. For 24 years the Democrats had be:a excluded from power, and their reinstate ment was due to the action of a dissatis fied faction in the opposing party. A change of C00 votes in the single state of New York from Cleveland to Blaine would have given the Presidency to Blaine and kept the Republicans in office for another term. And many thousands of New York Republicans were known to have voted for Cleveland. The Tariff n Leading Issue. If the Democrats came into control of the Government in 1SS4 without standing for any clearly defined party issue under the leadership of Cleveland, they -were not long in finding such an issue. The traditional Democratic policy was that of steady, consistent opposition to a high protective tariff. The Republicans had favored a protective tariff, as ,had the "Whigs before thorn. As Incident to the taxation system, of the Civil War, a very high protective tariff had been fastened upon the country. A system of Internal revenue had been created which taxed do mestic producers heavily", and by way "of compensation the duties on Imported goods were made correspondingly high. After the close of the war the taxes were removed from one after another of the domestic products, while the customs duties remained. Added to this, many of the duties upon Imported goods were specific so many, cents a yard or a pound. As prices declined upon the re turn to specie payments specific duties became proportionately higher. Had it not been for the many other press ing questions the Democrats would undoubtedly have promptly made a serious attack upon the war tariff of the Republican party. But the reconstruc tion of the Southern States, negro suf frage, military rule in the South, the re funding of Government bonds, the return to specie payments, the scandals of offi cial dishonesty all these problems left little time for either Republicans or Dem ocrats to devote to the details of a tariff system. Even as late as 18S0 Democrats had not arrived at a clear apprehension of their duty as a party in respect to criticism of the tariff from the standpoint of the tax payer. The party platform of that year did in deed contain the traditional words favoring "a tariff for revenue only." but there Is no evidence that they wero meant Grover Cleveland. to set forth a serious party conviction. The campaign was proceeding upon other issues. Democrats were arraigning ite publicans for accumulated party sins, and Republicans were depending chiefly upon a sentimental presentation of the "bloody shirt" issue when the state election In Maine occurred with a defeat for the Re publicans by such majorities as created serious alarm. Then there was a sudden change In the type of campaign oratory. Republicans all at once sprung the tariff question upon their oppononts. The Dem ocrats were arraigned as being privy to a damnable plot to force upon the un suspecting American people the diabolical policy of absolute free trade, which would result in the wholesale destruc tion of American industries, the pauper ism of American labor, wdth Innumera ble other frightful Ills. The Democrats were wholly unprepared for such a change In front on the part of their "enemy. There was hesitation, divid ed counsels, and their candidate, General Hancock, added to the confusion by cabal istic remarks which .et the country laugh ing. Out of this unpremeditated con founding of the Democrats it appeared that the Republicans made gains. Never theless, as has been mentioned, they came during Arthur's Administration to recog nize and admit the need of reforming th'o tariff. "When Cleveland entered upon his Ad ministrative duties the taxes upon im ports were still furnishing a considerable surplus ,of revenue, and the new Presi dent set himself earnestly to work to se cure the necessary reduction of duties. To the country at large the subject was pre sented .as a .party issue. -Opposition there was to the President's policy from Demo cratic members of Congress, but the par ty as a whole indorsed it. It was at tacked by Republican politicians, who strenuously defended the policy of pro tection against the alleged destructive de signs of the Anglicized free-traders. Though the Democrats failed to secure legislation of any kind upon the tariff during Cleveland's first term, they did succeed In making the tariff question for the time the leading political issue, and very distinctly a party issue. The element of opposition within the party to the re forms urged by President Cleveland grew weaker as the discussion was continued. The President's message of 1SS7 was whol ly devoted to a consideration of tariff questions, and during the session of Con gress which followed 'two elaborate bills for reform were brought forward. That supported by the Senate was drawn by Republicans, and proposed alterations In the existing tariff which would strengthen Its protective features. The House bill, on the other hand, was a Democratic measure, and was passed in the House by a strictly party vote, only four Demo crats voting against it It provided for sharp reductions in the duties, more par ticularly upon raw materials. These two-bllls exactly defined the posi-' tions of the two parties, and they wrre made the basis of the discussions of the Presidential campaign of 1S83, and upon the two opposing policies respecting the tariff that battle was fought Iowa College. BODY RECOVERED. Remains of Wnlplia Konkle Taken From the River. The body of Walpha Konkle was re covered from the river beneath the Jefferson-street depot yesterday morning, and now lies at Hdlman's undertaking parlors. Walpha was the G4-year-old son of Mrs. George Stoddard, who re sides at 'the corner of Pine and Jefferson streets. Saturday afternoon the lad was walking a plank, when he lost his bal ance and fell In where the water was 12 feet deep. His stepfather, Mr. Stoddard, assisted by other men, worked all Satur day night and until about 10 o'clock yes terday, dragged the spot where the boy was seen to fall. A curious Incident is related in con- CULLISON&CO.

When the frantic mother rushed to the scene ot her son's disappearance a man was still fishing off the ock. He admitted having seen the boy fall In, but made no effort to give an alarm or assist the drowning lad. "He never came up after he went down," this individual told Mrs. Stod dard, and the man still continued to fish. Arrangements have been made to have tho remains interred at Oregon City. COMING TENNIS GAMES. Complete Schedule of Approaching Contests. The frequent showers of tho past few days have sadly Interfered with the ten nis matches schedulod on the Multnomah courts, but the playnrs are taking ad vantage of the sunshine between storm and several Interesting matches were fin ished. La Farge defeated McAlpin In two sets, 9-7, 6-4. Brandt Wickersham beat "Van Duzer comparatively easy, 6-3, 6-0. He then went through La Farge, 6-1, 6-1, thereby becoming winner of the fourth class. , Peter McCraken' and Dr. Mackay had a hot match, the former winning two of tha three sets, 9-7, 0-6, 9-7. Though Mackay won two more games than McCraken, hd lost the match. This makes McCraken winner of class 7. The continued rain and slowness on tho part of tho players to, pull off their matches In the early part of the tourna ment, when the weather was good, have necessitated greater severity by the schedule committee. A schedule of all tha remaining matches has been arranged 'and tho players will be required to play at the time schedule or suffer a default,' ex cept', of course, the courts are not play able. In order to play all the games by Sat urday the schedule must be strictly fol lowed, and any one not appearing at the time schedule will lose by default.

GRESHAM, Or., Sept 15. The prune crop in this neighborhood and through out Clackamas County south of here is considerably heavier than It gave promise of being two months ago. All the grow ers, report an average yield of Italians, while in French and petites there Is an unusually heavy crop. At least 10 dry houses, large and small, are known to be In operation, and their products are' all turning out remarkably bright and of good size, which fact is accounted for by the excellent condition in which the fruit has-been gathered during the good weather of the past two weeks. It is also remarkably clear of blemishes, and has matured more perfectly than in many former seasons. It is estimated that the various dryhouses in this section are turning out about 12 tons of the fruit each day, the drying season lasting about two weeks. Extension of Bnrr Road. A petition is being prepared and will be circulated In a few days asking for an extension of the Ban road from Its present eastern terminus to the town of Falrview, a distance of four miles. The Barr road leads from North Mount Ta bor eastward, and is graded to the cor ner of Judge, Seneca Smith's farm, where ii stops abruptly. By having it opened to Fairvlew, a largo section of country would be benefited and a direct roadway given to many farmers who now have to go two or three miles around in going to either Fairvlew or Portland. By Its being opened there would be a roadway on every section line leading eastward In Multnomah County, as the Barr road, when completed, will be half way between the Ease Line and Sandy roads, which are two miles apart. Brief Notes. School opening in Gresham district has been postponed until September 24, owing to so many of the pupils being still away on their Summer outings. The Troutdale zoo has just received two black bears, which were brought from east of the Sandy. They were a present from Checkman Wright, who takes much Interest In zoological work.

Her placo here will be filled by Miss Jean Sprague, who will begin tho Fall term of school today. Ten teams and an eaual number of men are now employed In hauling rail road ties from Helneys new mill to Falrview. A tralnload was Inspected and loaded this week and will be sent east of the Rockies. The Falrview public school will begin its Fall term today, with Professor W. Rounds, late' of Junction City, as prin cipal. He was but lately elected to suc ceed Professor Altman, who resigned td become a farmer. Tho new railroad bridge at Troutdale will be finished this week, and the men employed thereon will be transferred tQ other points along the road.
