-SALEM, Oct 3. (To the Editor.) In
bringing upon my head the disapproba
tion of The Orcgonlan by presuming to
become a candidate for the United States
Senate without Its consent. I should be
more grieved but that I can easily recall
other citizens of Oregon who have made
the same mistake. In your opinion, I
have made a "discreditable appeal" by
taking the members of the Legislature
Into my confidence, publicly, and letting
the people of the state know just what I
am doing and have done In the matter of
my candidacy.
I am aware this is unusual, but had no
Idea It was discreditable. I realize, also,
that those who are called "pretty slick
politicians" are supposed to "saw wood
and say nothing." and that that method
generally succeeds. "Machine politics"
usually does, but the principle upon
which the demand for the election of
United States Senators by the people
rests implies that the people should be
consulted. This is what I have had the
presumption to do, and for doing It have
evidently Incurred the displeasure of some
people.
There are but two or three things in
your column of editorial review of my
letter which I care to mention, the gen
eral effort of it being to show your disap
pointment at the action of the people un
der the Mays law. You assert that "no
trial of strength, either in convention or
at .the polls, contemplated by the Mays
law, was held, or was thought of by any
one, least of all by the solitary Individual
who Insinuated himself on the ticket."
How do you justify the assertion that no
trial of strength was contemplated at the
polls by me, when in the same article you
refer to the fact that on the 27th of April
I invited all men who expected to be
come candidates for Senator to get on the
ticket, as I was doing, for the very pur
pose, as I asserted, that a trial of strength
might be bad at the polls?
A trial of strength at the polls was the
very thing I wanted and asked for, and
It was generally predicted that my appeal
to the people would necessarily bring out
all other candidates, or at least some of
them. In that statement to which you re
fer, I- not only invited all other candi
dates to have a trial of strength before
the people, but promised to assist in the
election of the one who might receive the
highest vote. It would probably puzzle
even The Oregonlan to name anything
plainer than that, or fairer, and a con
trary statement will not change the fact,
which universally understood.
No Trial of Strength.
You say: "The trial of strength con
templated by the Mays law was waived
by the Senatorial candidates, partly from
the manifest danger of antagonizing other
aspirants." Did you say danger of an
tagonizing? So the confession is out,
Anally, that the people were purposely not
given a chance to express themselves on
this Important question. Then there are
other Senatorial candidates, but rather
than avail themselves of an opportunity
to go before the people under the pro
visions c a state law. which was as open
to them as it was to me, they preferred
to "waive" that is, to withhold the op
portunity from the people for fear some
one might be "antagonized!""
If the principal thing Is to avoid an
tagonisms, since a contest before the Leg
islature can hardly be had without en
gendering some sort of antagonism. It
might be well to again "waive" a trial
of strength next Winter before that body.
Are antagonisms any the less to be
dreaded before the Legislature than be
fore a state convention or the people?
And If so. why? Of course The Oregonlan
does not favor "machine politics." vet it
has always been observed that the ma
chine politician Invariably prefers to set
tle his "antagonisms" before the fewest
possible number of people. He would
rather submit his "antagonisms" for a
settlement to the decision of 90 men than
to 90,000.
It might be remarked that your re
peated use of such terms as "cheap bal
derdash," "physical and intellectual at
tenuation," "superfluous exercise," etc.,
simply suggests the absence of anything
to say that meets the' question. Other
public men in Oregon have gone through
the same process of lambasting after the
most approved rough-rider fashion. The
people have come to expect it, but it will
probably surprise those who have known
The Oregonlan best even, to hear a di
rect appeal to the people characterized as
a "disreputable attempt to rape the pop
ular will." There is no such thing pos
sible as coercing the voters of an entire
state, and no man ever succeeds In rap
ing the popular will,, though the popular
will sometimes unmistakably rapes some
combinations and aspirations and settles
antagonisms.
Candidates and Legislature.
You -say that by my own confession I
have employed myself since April 27 last
in an effort to compass my election to
another office at the hands of a Legis
lature that was already nominated before
I became a 'candidate. You are asked to
state when I made such a confession.
I said that on April 27 I invited all can
didates for Senator to go on the ticket
with me, that the question might be tried
out before the people, where it belongs.
Where do you find your confession or
proof that I did anything after that to
gain a single vote for myself? I did not
leave Marlon County during the entire
campaign, and did not ask a man in the
state to vote for me. And what differ
ence did it make if members of the Legis
lature were "already nominated before I
became a candidate"? Certainly this is
not intended to mean that candidates for
the Legislature were nominated in the in
terests of certain candidates for United
States Senator. If this was done and was
kept from the people, it was not fair and
was not known, or were the different
county conventions "set up" in certain
interests and the fact kept In the back
grdund lest some -"antagonisms? should
be made? , Probably this fact was
"waived." not foreseeing that the people
were going to have an opportunity to
say a word on the subject

This theory assumes that a nomination
by a state or county convention, then,

way for them to express their disap
proval. Alas, the histories of all the states lur
nish an endless array of defeated can
dfefates who know better than this. What

3Iays Law Defended.
But nothing is so lame In your labored
floundering as the assertion that the Mays
law is "a broken reed," because the nec
essary steps were not taken "these steps
involved a trial of strength between can
didates, either In convention, or at pri
maries, or at the polls." But if candi
dates are to be Justified in "waiving"
such trials of strength "either In conven
tion, at primaries or at the polls," no
place is left but in the Legislature, and
what becomes of your desire to remove
such contests from that body?
You would make a better case before
the people If you would undertake to
analyze the motive of each individual vot--er
Instead of decrying the Mays law, for
everyone understands that the manner of
getting before the people is not of the
slightest possible consequence, so the man
ner Is according to law. The only feature
of the case, of Importance, Is what the
people have done -with a name after it was
presented to them. The standing a man
has with the people is not determined by
the manner of his getting on the ticket,
but by the votes he gets after he gets
on, and a thousand editorials on "a dis
creditable appeal" will not change this
fact It cannot be "waived."
For some time before the election. The
Oregonlan dally Informed the people of the
state that I was an "Indian." a "sulker,"
a "party wrecker" by editorials and car
toons, and the statement was confidently
made that my vote for Senator would be
small. The people were, therefore, fully
informed when they gave me within 1800
votes of the full Republican vote of the
state, and Mr. Wood nearly the same
number above the Democratic vote.
Voted a Straight Ticket.
Noticing your fling that certain sore
heads "knifed the ticket" last June, allow
me to say that, as for myself, I voted for
every name on the ticket marked "Repub
lican," and that if any other man did more
he should announce his name at once. In
a voting experience of exactly SO years
I bave never failed to vote for every Re
publican candidate for President to Con
stable, save only once when I voted for
L. L. McArthur for Circuit Judge. Allow
me to suggest, further, for the reflection
of certain busy critics, that if my record
for party fealty should be made the test
for holding public office as a Republican,
the resignations of several distinguished
gentlemen whose names will at once come
to mind would be the first thing in order.
Indeed I feel justified In calling attention
to the fact that some prominent men who
now profess hostility to me as a "Senatorial
candidate because I took no part In the
last campaign, have themselves In the
past, and for far less justifiable reasons,
arrayed themselves openly and actively
against the nominees of the Republican
party. What more could an actual sinner
do?
You repeat an Insinuation made a time
or two before by The Oregonlan since the
election, that I was not renominated for
reasons which "had reference to his ad
ministration of the Governorship," and
which, If pressed, would be embarrassing,
etc. Allow me to suggest that you will
never have a better opportunity to exploit
your reserved information and the source
from whence it comes than at this time.
I have been Governor of this state now
for nearly four years, and there has not
been one moment of that time that I have
not been the target of a clique of Repub
lican politicians for every kind of abuse,
villiflcation, slander and misrepresentation
that their designing minds, working to
gether, could Invent and circulate. The
first thing was to claim that some one had
a written agreement, signed by me, show
ing that before I was elected I had prom
ised to appoint, for a consideration, a man
to an office, but that when the time came,
rather than do it I repaid the money arid
did not appoint him. Here was a confessed
opportunity to have made some money
by making a certain appointment, but
because I refused to do the one and secure
the other, certain scrupulous politicians
professed to be very much Incensed and
Indignant It was actually claimed that I
had agreed to do a wrong thing, but when
the time came. I refused to do It This
was. the utmost of the claim which, even
if It had been true, would suggest that
if every public man who agrees to do a
wrong thing would refuse to do it in time
to save himself and the public, there would
be a marked Improvement in the public
service.
But since this bold attempt to capture
an important office by bribery failed ut
terly, and an honest, competent, but poor
man was selected for It, It had no bearing
on the public service, whatever, and, for
that reason, no connection with the "ad
ministration of the Governorship." The
admissions made by those who manufae-
ktured the "claim" went further than in
tended and nullified its object But some
thing else was needed, and. therefore, im
mediately hatched. Nothing will so" cer
tainly Insure the everlasting hostility of
the grafter as to turn him down.
The Chnrter Veto.
The last Legislature provided an en
tirely new charter for the City of Port
land, a charter which was not called for
by a single business interest In the city,
but passed wholly for political purposes,
and which 90 per cent of the people of
that city will now admit was not needed,
and which would have been productive of
unnecessary turmoil and disturbance. In
the Interest of the city's welfare, and for
no other reason, I vetoed It The veto
was so just that the next morning The
Oregonlan said I had "saved the people
of Portland from the consequences of
their own acts." But at once, the very
influence that was barely able to domi
nate the last state convention, through
the efforts of a very few men, started
the report that I had been paid a large
sum of money for vetoing the charter
bill, alleging different sums from $1500 to
115,000. That there was never the sem
blance of a shadow for this Infamous
He made no difference with these profes
sional bosses whatever. An end was to
be gained and this means was adopted.
Some wild-eyed lickspittles would assert
that the men who brought the money to
me were known and could be named. The
manner In which the money was raised
was within their knowledge. Men who
had no more interest in what kind of a
charter Portland had than the ghost of
Julius Caesar had In the result of the
Boer War were sent to different parts of
the state, some of them In the capacity
of subordinate Federal employes; for tho
purpose of circulating this manufactured
lie.
To this end. for the purpose of break
ing me down with the common people of
the state, was added the other malicious
lie that all any one needed to do .to get
a man pardoned from the Penitentiary
was to come to Salem with $100 and his
wish would be gratified.
That there never was and is not now
an individual in the entire State of Ore
gon who knows or ever did know of a sin
gle instance where any one has ap
proached me with money or an offer of
money for a pardon, or ever made any
pecuniary or other offer of any kind, di
rectly or indirectly, to secure the veto
of the Portland city charter, made no
difference with the men who originated
these lies, who threatened to "refuse to
support the ticket" In case I should be
renominated, but who have themselves
many times in the past "refused to sup
port the ticket"
A Few of the Popular Impressions.
Two weeks before the state convention,
when in Portland. I asked a well-known
attache of The Telegram whom I met
how the political contest was running. He
replied that they were fighting me In
Portland pretty hard, and when I In
quired how or In what manner, he re
plied that "they say you are getting rich
out of your office." I asked him how. and
he said. "Oh, I don't know: but that is
what we hear all the time." During the
campaign a well-known attorney of Port
land' was in Vancouver, and in talking
to a friend of mine there who asked why
I was not renominated, said that 1 was
a "grafter," and that I bad "beep paid
$15,000 for vetoing the Portland charter
bill, and there was no doubt about it"
It was such infamous lies as these, Mr.
Editor, invented and circulated by a gang
of unscrupulous scoundrels, some of whom
you yourself have- within the past three
years said are "grafters, always un
scrupulous and always corrupt" "who
have furnished the "reasons" you refer
to, and which you say. having "reference
to ray administration of the Governor
ship," contributed to my failure of re
nomlnaton. The history of all the. states In the
Union combined cannot furnish a parallel
for this Instance of unprincpled and
malevolent scoundrcllsm In the Interest
of personal and contemptibly dirty poli
tics. It triumphed In the state conven
tion, and after its consummation I was
nearly the first man In the state asked to
go before the people and help ratify it!
My love for the Republican party was. and
is so great that even then I .was ready
to do so, until I discovered that all the
way through the campaign these same
lies were busily kept in circulation as a
means of Justifying my defeat
Under these circumstances, when I
voted for the entire Republican ticket I
did more than many of those who seek
to criticise my course, would have done
under similar conditions. When the Re
publican candidate for Governor called
at this office and asked me to make some
speeches for him in the campaign, I told
him frankly that unless his particular
friends ceased their attacks on me he
need expect no help from me on the
stump. These attacks never ceased, but
rather increased In vigor until election
day. and if, as a candidate for Senator,
I chose to make no speeches for myself
in order to secure I'otes, surely I should
not be blamed for not making speeches
for others.
Enters n General Denial.
And now let me say as plainly as it is
possible to do, that I have never received
so much as one cent, directly, or indirectly,
for the performance of any duty In any
way pertaining to the office of Governor
of Oregon, save upon the warrant of the
Secretary of State, drawn upon' the State
Treasurer, and lying hyenas who have
been furnishing "reasons" along this lino
for the last year why I ought not to bo
renominated, are hereby asked to give
public evidence of their prodf.
From the day of my Inauguration, I
have in every case appointed the best
men for official positions that could be
found and who would accept them. This
rule has been followed from the Text
Book Commissioners, the State Board of
Agriculture, the Regents of the different
universities and colleges, the Superintend
ent of the Penitentiary, the Commandant
of the Soldiers' Home, tho Adjutant-General,
to every other officer who has been
selected. The State of Oregon was never
in better condition than it is today, and
perhaps no state in the Union has so lit
tle complaint among its people as to th6
non-enforcement of Its laws.
But "having been defeated for renomlna
tlon without any cause whatever, save to
gratify the spleen of a few political
bosses, I appealed to the popular vote for
United States Senator, and Invited all
others to do the same. The way was
open to them as it was to me, and with
this opportunity. It was only fair to the
people to accept it and let them be heard.
The Oregonlan knows of other candi
dates for the Senate, but how Is the pub
lic going to find out who they are? So
far, not a word of disapproval of any one
of them seems to have found a place in
your columns.
The public will no doubt have noticed
that your condemnation is visited only on
that particular candidate who had the
audacity to move publicly and to consult
the people. This should be a warning to
others to keep out of sight, "waive" all
tests of strength until the danger of "an
tagonism" is past, and to steadfastly
maintain that any Instrument which of
fers the people an opportunity to speak
on a great public matter is a "broken
reed." If the people's verdict shall be
thus flagrantly flouted next Winter, the
greater victory will come at the end of a
subsequent contest T. T. GEER.

DIMSDALE IS CHARTERED
WILL LOAD FLOUR HERE FOR
SOUTH. AFRICA.
Only One Disengaged Ship Is Left in
the River Thrilling Experience
of the Andromeda.
After lingering in port in Idleness for
two months and ten days the British ship
DImsdale was chartered yesterday to load
flour at Portland for South Africa. The
rate paid was 28 shillings, which is slight
ly above the market value as indicated
by recent engagements in San Francisco,
but the reason given was that the. ship
was wanted. for special business and was
worth more because she was of the right
size and ready to receive cargo. The
charter of the DImsdale leaVes Portland
with but one disengaged, ship In the river,
the Euphrosyne being withdrawn from
the markets several days ago to await
an improvement in the freights. One of
the Puget Sound disengaged vessels, the
British ship Glenesslln. was also chart
ered yesterday to load flour on Puget
Sound for South Africa. She received the
same rate as was paid the' DImsdale, tho
two ships being nearly the same size,
the DImsdale registering 1779 tons and
the Glenesslln 1743 tons.
With only the Euphrosyne on the free
list, there is now under engagement In
the river, exclusive of the ships that
have finished, about 25,000 tons net regis
ter. There Is also about 25,000 tons net reg
ister due within the next thirty days.
About two-thirds of this is under charter,
but the remainder Is on the free list
and wlllbe available for wheat as soon
as the inward cargo Is discharged. There
is more grain tonnage in port on Puget
Sound at the present time than there
Is in port at Portland, but the amount
due to arrive In, the next sixty days la
only about half as great as that which
Is due at Portland in the same period.
BATTLED FOR LIFE ON SEA.
Andromeda Makes a 2000-Mile Voy
age Under- Jury Rig.
Few ships go through a rougher expe
rience Tind reach port than did the Nor
wegian bark Andromeda, which arrived
at Honolulu the night of September 23
almost wholly dismasted. According to
Hawaiian papers the Andromeda left
Iquiqul in ballast July 25. She had fair
weather and a fair wind until August 29,
On that day the vessel was in 13 degrees
N. and 126 W. The barometer w:ent down
rapidly during the afternoon, the , wind
came strong from the west, and the offi
cers of the vessel feared a cyclone. Sail
was shortened, leaving only the two
lower topsails, the foresail and fore
staysail set. The wind changed to the
south and the vessel kept before it In an
effort to ride it out. After 6 o'clock the
storm Increased. About 7:30 o'clock the
main lower topsail was carried away. In
rapid succession during the next few
minutes the foresail and forestaysall
were torn, to shreds, accompanied by
a report louder than a cannon shot A
few minutes later the vessel became un
manageable.. She could not be steered
and broached to the wind' Just In time
to catch two mountainous seas -which
swept the vessel for6 anil aft, and, shift
ing the ballast, leff 'her listed on her port
side. The vessel rolled In a fearful man
ner and it become well nigh Impossible
for the crew to- dd any work.
The ship continued to roll fearfully
and her port bulwarks were constantly
under water. Some members of the crew
went to the captain and told him they
thought they could save the vessel If
they were allowed to go below and trim
the ballast The skipper then sent part
of the crew Into the hold and, the others,
remained oh" "deck to work w'lth tackles
In an effort to haul the braces tight
enough to hold the rigging. Then a ter
rible time was experienced by the brave
men working in the hold. A tremendous
sea swept the vessel, toppled her over
to the port side and burled one man in
the stones and sand of the ballast. His
mates made a rush for him and man
aged to effect a rescue. Captain Rotter
ordered the men on deck. The port bul
warks were entirely under water, and It
had also crept up as far as the hatches.
The captain ordered the masts, cut away
as a means of saving" the vessel from list
ing to a greater degree In the roll of the
seas..
The main mast fell over ,the port side
with a tremendous crash, smashing the
bulwarks, smashing the Iron gear of the
pumps Into unrecognizable scrap Iron, and
breaking up some of the vessel's life
boats. With the main mast the mlzzen
topmast broke short off and came crash
ing to the deck, going right through the
bottom of the after port life boat. The
fore-gallant backstay was cut and this
released the fore-gallant and fore-topmast
and these two dropped over the ves
sel's side. The middle boat on the port
side was broken to splinters and the fore
part of the bottom of the middle star
board boat was also smashed.
Four of the crew were Injured during
this time. Captain Rotter had a three
inch nail driven right through "his right
foot The ship's carpenter was knocked
in the side and It Is feared that some of
his ribs are broken. Second Mate Hanson
had his ankle sprained and was laid up,
while the sallmaker also had his ankles
sprained.
The storm moderated late In the night
and the following day was clear, but tho
sea was rough. Several days were spent
by those of the crew who could work
trimming the shifted ballast and then
sail was bent on the stumps of the masts
that were left standing. An attempt was
made to take the bark up the California
coast, but contrary winds held her back,
and then It was decided to make the
run of over 2000 miles to Honolulu before
fair winds, and there seek shelter.
LAYING PACIFIC CABLE.
Colonla Will Complete Her Part of

RAIN STOPS MANEUVERS.
Fort Riley In Being Deserted by Offi
cers of the Nntional Gnnrd.
FORT RILEY, Km.. Oct. 3. Another
fierce storm, more severe than that of the
earlier part of the week, swept over
Camp Root today, and put a temporary
stop to the maneuvers. Tonight the
storm is still raging, and the prospects
for tomorrow are not reassuring, al
though the Weather Bureau has sched
uled fair skies." The ground wis in such a
condition by 8 o'clock that General Bates
declared the day's maneuvers off. until
further orders.
A number of the National Guard officers
have left for home. Unless there Is favor
able weather tomorrow, It Is probable
that more of them will turn their backs
upon Fprt Riley. It has been planned
by the regular Army officers. to make the
closing exercises the -most Interesting of
the entire series, but there will be none
of the National .Guard to take part in,
the last maneuvers, save 200 men of the
Colorado. Guard, and they will leave one
day before the close of the full pro
gramme. The work laid out for tomorrow, weath
er permitting, includes the construction
of a pontoon bridge by the engineers, and
the formation of an advance guard by the
entire command. There will be, as usual,
an attack upon the marching column.
The Forty-fourth Hospital Corps left
for Washington this afternoon. The move
