14 THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1902. INMAN TO RESIGN Senator's Successor to Be Elected in June. DEMOCRATS HUJJT A CANDIDATE Kb One "Wants the Doubtful Honor Republicans Will Probably Xanie Frederick W. Mulkcy, a, Wcll-ICnoivn Lawyer. Robert D. Inman, Democratic candi date for Major of Portland, Is about to tender tp Goernor Geex his resigna tion as State Senator for Multnomah Count)'. His reason doubtless Is that he desires to remove general criticism, that he Is holding: onto one office while seeking another. Republicans 111 prob ably name Frederick W. Mulkey as their candidate for the unexpired term. Robert D. Inman, fusion candidate lor the Mayoralty, will tender his resignation as Senator from Multnomah County In a day or two, and the Simon Democrats are unable to find a candidate to accept the nomination lor his office. Sylvester Pen noyer. F. V. Holman, J. N. Teal, W. E. Hobert&on and R. Livingstone have de clined to allow their names to he used In connection with any Legislative office, and the county committee has deemed it best not to ask them to make the run. Only two possible candidates were mentioned disappointed, as were also the friends of JWrlghtman, but at the club meetings held for the purpose of preparing for the re ception of Mr. Furnish, the supporters of both these candidates were present. The entertainment committees, as reported from Salem, show that leaders of both sides in the primary fight are working together for the election of the ticket and the whole ticket. All the talk about Re publicans outside of Multnomah County voting for Chamberlain comes almost en tirely jfrom the Democrats. Their wish is father to their thought. Republican headquarters In the Benson block, at the corner of Fifth and Wash ington streets, are open even day after 10 o'clock A. M. Chairman "W. F. Mat thews and Secretary Herbert C. Smith are on hand all day to receive visitors and confer with Republican leaders. They are always pleased to have out-of-town Re publicans call at the rooms and become acquainted with leaders from the vari ous sections of the state. Among the visitors at Republican head quarters yesterday were: B. F. Jones, of Lincoln County; Dr. W. Kuykendall, of Lane; J. M. Poorman, of Marlon; J. N. Williamson, of Crook; W. J. Furnish, of Umatilla; C. W. Fulton, of Clatsop: W. N. Barrett, of Hillsboro; H. V. Gates, of Hillsboro; Harrison Allen, of Astoria; F. L Dunbar, of Salem. fffSiSK IWVgj Frederick W. aiulkey, Probable Re publican Xomlnee for State Senator. by the Democrats yesterday, and they w ere F. A. Watts, who was a Police Com missioner during the Pennoyer adminis tration, and John Klernan, who was a candidate for Sheriff in 1S92, and for Treasurer In 1896. Mr. Klernan Is re reived favorably by many of the county committee, and if a stronger candidate should not appear he will probably receive the nomination. The only candidate mentioned by the Re publicans Is Fred W. Mulkey, a member of the City Council. Mr. Mulkey is spoken of by many Republicans and his name will probably receive the favorable con sideration of 'the County Central Committee. GOQD AEWS FROM ALL QUARTERS. Republicans From Every County Are Up and Doing:. From every part of the etate comes the report that Republicans are getting Into line for the battles of the coming cam paign. The Republican headquarters In the Benson block are visited dally by numbers of Republican leaders from out lying counties, and all report commence ment of the work of the political contest. Old Republican Clubs are holding meet ings, electing" new officers and appointing committees to look after speakers for club rallies. New clubs are being formed, and thus the numbers In the organized ranks are swelled. The organization (movement has been begun by the voters themselves, who form their clubs on the plans that suit them best, and then write the state chairman, W. F. Mat thews, inquiring for campaign buttons or informing him that the club Is ready for 'work. It is apparent from the manner in which the Democrats are beginning their cam paign that in many counties they have given up their hope of electing more than one or two of their candidates for county or Legislative offices, but they hope by centering their fight against one or two Republican candidates to capture an of fice. All the candidates on the Demo cratic tickets will contribute to a fund to pay the expenses of a campaign for the benefit of one or two. This sort of a plan is sometimes successful, but as a TUle the people sympathize with a man who Is singled out to take the brunt of the fight, and he Is likely to run near the Jead when the votes are counted. Re publicans will put forth a special effort in behalf of a man who Is put upon the de fensive by an uneven fight, and. thus make up any loss he may sustain by rea son of personal attacks upon him during a campaign. It Is also apparent that the Democrats -will use almost any kind of an argument, or alleged argument, to land their candi date. A Chamberlain supporter said yes terday: "We are going to ask the people of this state whether they want to elect a man Governor who gets his nomina tion by the use of money. That's what we are going to beat Furnish on." "Didn't Mr. Furnish carry the primaries in his own county by a vote of 5 to V the gentleman was asked. "Yes, sir." "Do you mean to say that there are so many people as that In Umatilla Coun ty whose votes are controlled by money?' "Well, no." "Furnish carried the convention by a rote of 24S to 92, did he not?" "I believe so." "Then you mean to say that out of the well-known men who constituted that convention that large a number were in fluenced by money?" "Not exactly. But we are going to talk this money proposition all through the campaign and will make the people be lieve it, anyway." But the people who know the dele gates who voted .for Furnish in the state convention are not likely to swallow much of that sort of campaign fol-de-rol. They will consider the purpose of the story, and will set it down as so much hot air, generated for the occasion. Another scheme of the Democrats is to send out reports from Salem that Marlon County Is disgruntled1 and will give Chamberlain a majority. That Is a story easily-'told, but not easily believed by those who know" the Republicans of Ma rlon County Thc friends of Geer were TO MAXAGE CAMPAIGN. Slmonltes Get Elprlit Places and Democrats Six on Committee. In the appointment of their county campaign committee the Slmonltes made places for eight of their followers and for six Democrats. As the natural result the committee when It met elected as Its chairman Miller Murdoch, a law partner of G. C. Moeer, who has for years been one of Senator S.imon's most ardent pre cinct workers, and who was rewarded for his labor In 1S9G by a nomination for the office of Justice of the Peace, an of fice to which he was not elected. As a sop to the Democrats, W. N. Gatcns was elected secretary of the committee. The committee was appointed by J. P. Shaw, chairman of the Simon mass meet ing and a former Bryanlte, and Is as fol lows: M. L. Nicholas Democrat. A. W. Allen Republican. S. C. Spencer Republican. Alex Sweek Democrat. L. D. Cole Republican. John Lamont Democrat. Peter Hobkirk Republican. F. A. Niedermark Republican. W. N. Gatens Democrat. M. G. Munly Democrat. J. R. Swlnton Republican. Miller Murdoch Republican. J. W. Shattuck Democrat. W. J. Miller Republican. - A meeting of the committee was held, and those who attended It were: Chair man White, of the Democratic State Cen tral Committee, and Messrs. Sweek, Shaw, Gatens. Lamont, Spencer, Nicholas and Murdoch. Mr. Shaw called the meeting to order, and on motion of Senator Sweek, Murdoch was elected chairman without opposition. On motion of Mr. Lamont, Gatens was unanimously elected secretary- None of the committee was able to name a suitable location for headquarters, and the matter was left open. Senator Sweek said last night that rooms would prob ably be secured within a day or two. DEMOCRATS GO OVER STATE. Candidates Will Travel In a Bunch Open at Baker City.

MR- RE1LLY WITHDRAWS. Will N'ot Run for County Treasurer on Fusion Ticket. B. S. Reilly, secretary of the Hlberala Savings Bank, announced yesterday that he had decided not to permit his name to be used In connection with his nomina tion to the office of County Treasurer on the Fusion ticket "Yes, I have resigned," said Mr. Reilly to an Oregonlan man. "My reason Is because of the condition of my health. I am acting on the advice, of my physician, who Informs me that I am not equal to the excitement and hard work of a campaign." "It Is rumored on the street that you are to vote for Mr. Furnish," remarked the reporter. "That Is not so." replied Mr. Reilly. "I am a Democrat, and will work and vote for Democrats. I have no sympathy with or respect for any man who changes his politics. I am not elck, but lately I have suffered from having worked too much Indoors, and think that I ought to take care of my health first, 'mat is an. BIG PETITION HELPS. Document With 4000 Signatures Reaches Senator Mitchell. Senator Mitchell has acknowledged re ceipt of the petition of the Portland Chamber of Commerce for an open river. The petition was circulated throughout the Northwest, and received about 4000 signatures. About two weeks ago it was sent to Washington. Mr. Mitchell writes: "I beg to acknowledge receipt of yours of April 12, advising me that a petition signed by nearly 4000 business men of the Columbia River Valley, praying for the improvement of navigation between The Dalles and Celllo, and for a 40-foot channel at the mouth of the Columbia, had been forwarded by registered mall. I am glad these petitions are coming. We have won a great victory In the Sen ate committee on commerce In getting a provision for the commencement of the work at The Dalles and Celllo; a provi sion which provides for the appropriation of $614,570. The only trouble will be to hold this In conference. The petition will be valuable In this direction. "While we secured no increase for the mouth of the Columbia, we prevented a cut, so that the conference committee cannot interfere with the $1,500,000 pro vided in the bill for the mouth of the Columbia River. G. L. TOOLEY IS DYING Farmer Stabbed by XI ck Anderson Slakes Last Statement. George L.

Anderson walked past, somewhat under the influence of liquor, and as he passed he Insulted my wife. I told him. to move on, and he refused to go until he got ready, saying lie did not have to go. I knocked him down, and held him down until he asked to be al lowed to get up. I allowed him to get up and assisted him, and had hold of one of his shoulders. As soon as he got to his feet he took out his pocket knife and slashed me in the abdomen. I clinched with him to get hold of the Tcnlfe, and my wife took hold of a sledge-hammer a.nd struck, him over the head with it and knocked him down.
