EVADE STATING THEIR POSITION
Tliey Mean to Fool Some One, and
the Writer of Thl Letter Is
Not the One to "Be Fooled.
FOREST GROVE, Or., May 29.
The main question with many of
Bean s fdllowers3t,pr.irent''Is: Are there
two Republican Lsgislathc tickets in the
field? My object in writing: this Is not to
change any onc'b vote, but to let the
Mitchell Republicans know that while we
were fool.sh enough to let them get con
trol of our political machinery in the state,
still there is a limit to our ignorance and
that limit is reached. As to my own poll
tics. I have never voted a Republican cr
gold-standard Democratic ticket yet. Jef
ferson says, "Eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty"; and I &ay, "Eternal poverty is
the price of negligence." Yet, so sure was
1 that e crything was all Tight In our state
that -alien the first rumors of Mitchell's
fine work raised a slight fog in our polit
ical sky, 1 thought nothing of It. "When
I had good evidence ot it, I still doubted,
and su3ccted that it was the work of
McKinley Republicans who were trying to
"work" us.
We swallow ed this with about the same
relish I swallowed my first chew of tobac
co. The sight of our leaders and Mitchell's
political grass widows thick as three in a
bed w as not reassuring to one who knows
the effect of such association on a young
party not yet the age of consent. We see
too, that Union candidates "up in the Val
ley, having been smokea out, openly avow
their intention of voting for a Republican
as second choice for United States Senator.
By using vigilance In Multnomah Coun
ty the Cleveland Democrats were kept
from capturing everything or anything.
Later Mitchell gets In his work, and we
now have a Union ticket thore, composed
of Democrats (Bryan, Cleveland and
Mitchell varieties). Republicans (free-silver,
gold-standard, Mitcnell and various
other species), Populiste (middle-of-the-road,
straddle-of-the-road and some in
the brush), all on one ticket
Now, what is the object of this fusion
of parties and confusion of principles? To
heat the Slmon-McKinley crowd? Very
well; so far so good. That mixture would
surely beat the devil. But who would
win? What will it profit a party to gain
a John H. Mitchell and lose all his princi
ples? 1 vi ill lay down as a rule to guide my
actions that when a vote is cast for a
United States Senator by a man of the
opposite party, there is something -crooked.
Those two Populists of Illinois who voted
for Palmer because he was a free-silver
man, elected the one who afterwards head
ed the Gold Democratic ticket. Taube
nach protested and was called a crank,
hut that was not the first instance, nor
will the Republican votes of Montana that
elected Clark be the last.
Now for our own county: That the
X"nion candidates expect and have reason
to expect the entire vote of the Mitchell
men. Is too well known to require proof.
Why w HI they vote for them? Some of us
who are not on the inside, men, too, whose
standing in the party of Brjan is fully
equal to the candidates on the Union Uck
et, considering the above undisputed facts
in connection with the' generally circulated
hut disputed rumor that our Legislative
ticket was pledged to Mitchell, wrote,
printed and presented the following to our
candidates for their signatures:
"I, the undersigned candidate on the
Union ticket, pledge myself that if elect
ed I will vote for neither Mitchell, Mc
Bride, nor any one else not pledged to the
principles of Bryan and the initiative and
referendum."
What was their reply, and what do their
managers say? No, on account of policy;
that the party platform is sufficient; that
to aoubt them is to insult them, and we
must trut them; "that to tell openly which
bide they are on will defeat them; that the
men who origlnutcd it were Simon-Scott
Republicans: that it was done for money.
What do they mean by policy? Honesty?
Why would it defeat them to tell openly
where the stand? This is a confession
that they are a pnrty to that deception by
which their managers have assured each
faction that they were the ones that -were
"in It." They mean to fool some one; that
Is, deceive them, get their vote under false
prepenses, deprive them of the right to
cist an Intelligent ballot. What the wick
ed Republican party obtains by purchase
we reformers hope to get by robbery- Of
cours It would he an Insult for us fel
lows to doubt them after they have been
honest enough to own they ae going to
sell out one side or the other. I wonder
if it would be an Insult if the other side
were to doubt them, too. Of course. In
case of a sale, 1 know it has been cus
tomary for farmers to buy up politicians,
and I suppose that in this deal the mo
nopolist will get done up, as usual.

FORECAST OF THE ELECTION.
Probabilities in the Several Counties
Fav ornlile for Republicans.
Several more responses of politicians in
the several counties to The OresonJan's
request for estimates have been received.
The large registration ot voters has left a
considerable margin of uncertainty and
made most of the political managers hesi
tate about making- predictions. Here is
what some of them, write:
Lake Connlj.
LAKEVIEW. Or., May 29. In compli
ance with our request 1 send you the
estimate of the vote In Lake County, as
follows- Tho registration shows 897 names,
of which probably S50 or SG0 will vote at
the June election. There will probably
be onlv Fusion and Republican tickets
votpd for fctate and district officers, of -1
which the Republican candidates will have
DM and the Fusion 350 or 360.
This being Dal's home, he will prob
ably be about ,0 to 120 votes behind
Tens", although he is claimng a large
majority over Tongue.
Wolverton should have 170 majority,
ar.d Bailej. for Dairy and Food Commis
sioner, probably 140 to ICO over his oppon
ent. For Joint Senator, Williamson should
heat Bennett 150 to 175. The Republican
nominees for Joint Representatives
should have 150 majority, except Emmett
who will probably exceed that by 10to 20.
Watson, for District Attorney, should beat
Rasmus (Fusion) about IfXL
The Republican Clerk will have from 158
to 175 malorltv. The vote on Sheriff will J
be very close, wth the chances in favor
of Dunlap Republican). The vote on
Commissioner and Treasurer will also he
close. For School Superintendent, the
Republican, Willlts, will be elected by a
gocd majority.
For this county, the candidates for Sher
iff are making the only hot fight, the
Republican being supported by most
tho Populists ana a irc
tollowlDg Dl
disaffected Democrats, while the Demo.
cratlc, nominee has many pergonal friend
among thefRepublicahs who will support
him. There 'is no qtheEdtlckets forfSbun
ty officers except Republican 'and,Dcino
cratlc", &. FCONN.

County.
Yamhill Coanty.
An active Republican of Yamhill Coun
ty submits the following estimates:
"Carlton, Or.. June 1. The number ot
voters registered In Yamhill County Is
3417. I estimate that the Republican votes
of this county will he about 1700. That
the votes of the Bryan party will be about
1550. The Prohibition vote will be from
100 to 123. I do not think that there will
be much scratching done by either party,
excepting as to the candidates for Sheriff.
The vcte for Sheriff will be very close.
hut otherwise I am inclined to think the
Republicans w ill elect their whole ticket."
Umatilla County.
PENDLETON. Or.. June L I find that
there is no one that can give an intent
gent estimate of the result of the coming
election. The large registration In this
county hao made all forecasts unreliable,
and the canvass has been conducted so
quietly that enthusiasm, for either side,
is lacking. There are very many voters
that will give no expression "as to their
preference for candidate?, and, in some
Instances, for parties. I would, therefore,
prefer not to venture to predict the re

Both Side Claim Clnckmunx.
OREGON CITY. Or.. June 2. Tonight
closed the campaign in Clackamas Count,
and the county and Legislative candidates
of the Republican and Citizens tickets
each held final rattles here. Judge O'Day
of Portland, was tho principal speaker at
the Citizens meeting. The campaign man-'
agers of both parties claim that each will
win a complete victory on county candi
dates Monday, while tho more conserva
tive observers predict that a mixed ticket
will be elected. It Is generally conceded,
however, that the majority of the voters
in the county are Republicans.
Forecast for Yamhill County.
M'MINNVILLE, Or., June 2. The cam
paign of 1200 has been fought, and a
glance over the field indicates that Yam
hill County will he safely Republican.
Congressman Tongue. Judge. Wolverton
and Mr. Bailey wil receive pluralities
ranging from 200 to 250, while the county
ticket is eafe for the Republicans, with
the exception perhaps of Sheriff and Com.
missioner. upon whom a special fight has
been waged, and they, too, stand a good
show for election.
Jackson County Politics.
MEDFORD, Or.. June 2. Jackson Coun
ty is safe for the Republicans. Con
servative party leaders express all confi
dence in the election of the entire Re
publican ticket The only candidate in
doubt. 'Narrcgan, for County Judge, is
now being conceded "by many of the
Union candidates' supporters.
Says Fuslonists Will Carry Linn.
LEBANON. Or., June 2. Hon. M. A.
Miller, who has hcen making a thor
ough canvass of Linn County, says the
Union ticket will be elected next Monday
hy a large majority. He also says that
Dr. Daly -will run considerably ahead of
his ticket in the county.
Crook County.
PRINEVILLE, Or.. June 2. The polit
ical situation here is hard to )lve, but
it is estimated that the Legislative ticket
will carry by from 50 to 100 majority in this
county for the Republicans. As to count
offices, it Is too uncertain to make any
estimate.
ALL KINDS OF POLITICS.

MUCH POLITICS AT MEDFORD.
Prospect Favors' Election of Most
of the Republicans.
MEDFORD. Or., June 2. People of all
political creeds have thronged the streets
of Medford today. Populists were out in
force to hear Hon. W. M. Howard, of
Alabama, in the afternoon. In the even
ing J. B. Osborne, of Georgia, addressed
Populists at the Opera-House, while Gen
eral J. B. Weaver, of Iowa, favored the
Democracy, which had taken possession
of a large warehouse fitted up for the
occasion. Republicans were In promi
nent evidence all day, and seemed to
reap much good from the rally. Uncer
tainty exists regarding the prospects of
two or three candidates, "but most of the
Republican ticket will be elected.

SALEM, Or., 'June 2. The joint canvass
of Marion County by the Republican and

dates on both tickets. The arguments ad
vanced were much the same sis those used

the Republicans were in the greatest favor
with the audience.

CONDON, Or., June 2. Louis Smlthfe. a

three days, went to tho Sheriffs office yes
terday and voluntarily gave himself up for
the murder of George Young, which crime
he claims to have committed at Soda

years ago. Deputy Sheriff C. T. Pinkham
was la charge of the office at the time, and
to him Smlthie stated that he had kept
the secret as long as he could stand it and
that be desired to let the law take Its
cour.se.
Smithie had been drinking some for a
day or two, and although apparently some
what unbalanced, seems to tell a pretty
straight story- Sheriff Wilcox has com

County, and Is holding the man pending
Instructions from that official.
A MISTAKE
The First District has In
Mr. Tongue an intelligent, in

sentative. He understands
l the needs of the state, and
has endeavored with unusual
fidelity to promote all its in
terests. He has experience
and capacity. He Is the kind
of Congressman who achieves
results. He is sound on
main questions. He voic.es
the views and sentiments of
Oregon accurately In the Na
tion's councils. He wants the
flag to fly forever in the
Philippines. That Is what
the state wants. The alter
native to Tongue Is Daly,
who stands for financial In
flation and National contrac

of the flag; and who would

Several causes combined to bring about
the postponement, the principal one being
that last month tho overstock of logs at
the mills was not increased on account of
had weather, and an unprecedented de
mand for logs from British Columbia mill
men. Safe Crackers
