The Orrgomntt of to-day contains a short

word utsd In the srtlcle frightened me
when I first read them, but upon consult

In ihe article sou say "In Oregon this year

me to Inform you, the democratic cam

will be actively and vigorously conducted.
and that It will be conducted differently
from the mode and.manner In which the
republican primaries at Portland were
conducted, for particulars of which pleate
read the vrtveman M the day subsequent
to ttiu primaries; and let me leu you that
not only will the democratic campaign In
Oregon be vigorously conducted, but It Is
my opinion that after the democratic ram
palgn dotes, the people wilt give such a
verdict as will tend tome of your friends

We tan furnUh you with many more such
tamplr. Our stock In trade I clean, tree
from blemUhct and defects, can that much
be said vf the stock In trad of other?
You are pleated to say, "There is no
effort lo do anything else but elect Pcnnoy
tr, everything cite ha been abandoned for
rennoyer and on election day every other i
candidate on the democratic ticket will be j
traded lor Pennover. The democratic
party In Oregon hat ceased to exist, etc.,!
etc." To me it Is simply astonishing to
tee Into what error great men often will
fall, for the retult will thow you that the
democratic party not only has not ceased
to exitt, but that it I very much alive, too.
You wilt find that tlte democratic candi
date will not be traded off for Pennoyer;
there no Inclination to do to, and there
It 110 necessit y for It, a Pennoyer is to
overwhelmingly the choice of the people
that he wilt have vote to spare, and plenty
of them, tit that. Our stock in trade a
you call it. and our capital stock, which
you tay consists In uovernor Pennoyer
peculiar personality, both of them suit us.

SAME IX 1,1 NN.
A prominent republican farmer who
wat In the city Saturday tald that he could
not see how politics could be considered
by the firmer as between such men as
Pennoyer and lhompton. ror hi part
he should unhesitatingly vote for the
former, and tome of hit republican neigh
bors would do the mme. List Vrtfomaa.
It U no longer a question of politics.
Whether "Dollar Mark" will be able to
literally buy the state is the question.
A sensation hat been created among republi
cans in Iddianapoti by a letter from John
Overmeyer, cx chairman of the republican
stole central committee, in which he takes
strong ground in favor of tariff reform. He
declares that protection a demanded ia the
McKinley bill is not desired by the party at
large and that it will result in certain defeat if
it is pert tted in. lie says that the doctrine
of prot eel km as now taught by the party was
never beard of a a republican principle nntil
limine introduced tl in 1 854 for his own per
sonal ends, and that the passage of the birl
now ia congress will be the death of the party.
Mr Overmeyer hat been one of the most prom
inent republicans in the state for years having
been a member of the genera) assembly for
three year, one of which he was speaker of the
house, and aflerwc rd chairman of the slat
central committee. "
WHY NOT?
A great many republicans all over the state
have declared their purpose to vote for Pnnnay
er because he vetoed the biil creating non
taxable bonds. In this we believe they exer
cise sound discretion. But if this is reason
enough to lead them to vote for him why
ihould thev not vote for Col R A Miller for
congr its who was a member of the legislature
at the time the bond bill was passed and stood
like a wall of adamant to prevent the 'ring"
from ptssing the bill over the Governor's veto,
Col Miller and those who stood with Dim in
that memorable fight deserve the support of the
people.
. If Mr $ P.Thompson is elected next
June he will tell his Willamette locks to
the state before his term of office expires.
Then he will be rich enough to give a bit
or two to the next calamity sufferers of the
northwest. But God pity the unfortunates
upon w hose hornet he hold a mortgage, if
he Is defeated. He will nail them to the
cross until he gets back the boodle he Is
tpending in this campaign with 11 per
cent interest.
There may bs nothing new under the sun,
but the elopement of a Buflalo man with his
mother in law is ratcer out of the common ord
er of things.
HOW TIIOMIVON I'KUCirUBI) III X01IINA
TIOK rOR 00 VKRSOK TH K STATE.
It it we!J known in this State that D T
Thompson' fight for the Gu!erntorial nomi'
nation was made in the City of Portland, and
that James iMnn wtf his agent nr "Host" in
carrying the primary elections in tlmt city.
un 1 re 7m ! April last, fte the result of
the Republican primaries ws known Ihe
"Daily Oregemtin" said-.
"The result of the primtiies held ' Saturday
is regarded by Ihe defeated faction as showing
a very ominous stale of affairs. That in Souih
Portland, precinct No 3, whers charges of bal
lot box ttumng were claimed, t here were 852
votes cast, Against a total vote, democratic
and republican, of two years sgo, of 650. So
also in North Portland, No I, carried by the
IOtsiiitef, theit were 780 votes cast a the
primaries, W4ere two years eo tlx total vote
of UHb parties was only 331, Oiber similar
discrepancies occur in North Portland, No 6,
where 387 bow are contrasted sgabtt ijq, and
in North Portland, No 3, where the combined
vote, two year nan wat 675. thit time at the
primarks 988, the pfeciscts curried by
aunoo ao not snow up in any such shape,
nouin ror 110 nd, no 2 polled corimned two
years sgo 816, Salunlty $$ republicsn votes,
North Portland No 1, shows now 570 sgainst
a lormer record 01 545."
"More money was used in the primaries
than hat ever been used ia a primary; election
in wrcgoa be lore.
Of ccourte no one wilt ever know etActlv
how much wat spent, and rsndom estimates
sre to sutceptiute to exaggeration."
. wniie tlere is doubt ss to the exact sutn
spent, there is uo doubt that money wat used
ejenly and shamelessly. Both sides were in
(lata bouses snd there wss no stone throwing-
Neither dared go Into the contest without
money, snd each relied Uon its ability to out
work, outcount. and last, but not least, out
buy the other. Men walked like sheep to the
polls, deposited their ballots snd turned snd
received the psltry price of their volet from
herders who stood within a yard of the polling
booth."
"The pries for votes in the early si ace of
the primaries was fa. $0. Ia the last boar cr
o, when both side felt confident, only If. 00
wss ps id at tome places."
None of these statements have been denied
ay Thompson and they may be taaeo st true.
By the use of money Thompson, wat able to
vote 852 men where there were but 650 voters
ia the prectnt two years sgo, counting both
democrslic snd republicans.
la North l'ortland,Thomptoa't faction of the
Republican party polled 780 votes while both
the political parlies coulJ muster but 650
voter at Ut elrcUan two yjmr$ aqo.
The paper says, "The precincts carried by
Simon do not show op in aoy such shape."
This make it very clear that Thompson
bought bis nominal ion and the "Daily Ortg-
" is the undisputed witness.
If rhis method of procuring a nomination is
winked at and allowed to pat unrebuked. the
election wilt sett be carritd by the "open sod
tharaeicM ate of money" and the state will be
come tlte properly of the rich Portland men at
they take tarns buyirg it.
TMUMPSOJI ASD THE WOKKINtiXr.
One of the proud boasts of the republi
can leaders In tbeir advocacy of protection
that It sustain the wage of the labor-
ng clatse. and pretcrvet them from ruin
out competition with the degraded pauper
labor of Europe. Thit point Is the chief
rgument they use when they desire to
hoodwink the working people, and It I one
too, that ha an Influential effect Of
course It I the sheerest, thaltowett pre
tence, and is mede only like the razor poor
hog bought "to sell.' In the first place
It Is the height of absurdity to believe that
the big, high priests of plutocracy, whose
coffers have been swollen by frying the
fat out of the poor through the Instrumen
tality of the tariff gridiron, could have any
sympsthy ith their employer. They
want the labor employes at the lowest
possible point, and it the latter object and
strike for higher wages, their places are
tided by Importations from that tame
pauper labor of Europe." Mr Powderly,
the head of the Knight of Labor. ha
recently shown up this system, in a series
ot letter to the NY WotlJ. He relates
that the average wages of the employes of
the mills and mines of Pennsylvania,
state In which the to called benefits of pro
tection should be more etpeclally felt, are
on an average of about $jo a month. He
gives a fearful picture of pitiful distress of
the people, and describes how their main
article" of diet Is mush and milk and not
enough ot that. Another very slgntgficant
thing he related was that one day he saw
thirty young Welshmen take passage for
their former homes In Wales, where, they
told him, they could get better wsgers and
live more comfortably. To iho more
clearly that this cry of the protection
leaders to preserve the wages of labor It
mere hollow mockery, let us cite a case
nearer home. Let ut In fact see how D P
Thompson, the tepublican candidate for
governor, regards the laboring people,
We will only give Incontestable facts that
can easily be verified by consulting hun
dreds of men at Portland. When D P
Thompson was teveral years ago made
receiver for WeldhVt sawmill at Po-t
land, a part ot the Ilolladay etUte, one
ot his first acts was to reduce the wages of
the employes an average of 30 cents a
day. The men had to stand it, for the
times were herd, and they could not afford
to strike, as tney could not find employ
ment elsewhere. Now was this act of D
P Thompson dictated by motives of econo
my ? Not a bit of It For thei e la the of
ffcial record of the supreme court of this
state which shows that he brought suits,
amounting In the aggregate of $30,000 for
his own services as receiver. In oth er
words, D P Thompson reduced the wages
of the men ot Weildcr's mill, took the
bread out of the mouths of their struggling
families, and for no other purpose than to
put the money in his own pocket This is
the man that now Stan 3s on the platform
of protection lo American labor, and he
serves at a fine specimen of the rent of his
class who have honied phrases for work
Ing men snd farmers around election time
ar.d nothing but cuff and kicks when in
power and place. ; '
$ $ $ $ Thompson was in the k-gisla
ture of this ttate in 1870 when a memoria
was introduced requesting our reprcsena
tlves In congress to use all the means in
their power to secure the annulling of the
Burlingame treaty under which the Chi
nese were then swarming into tnis country
In vast hordes, and under which they were
entitled to all the privileges of the most
favored nations of Europe. Da$id voted
no on this memorial. . He was then, and
doubtless is now in favor of openirg our
door and establishing a kind of "free trade"
in Chinese immigration. Voters should
think of this on the day ot election.
Dollar Mark Thompson and his friends Lave
but one ground of kepe of his election, and
that is in the abundance of boodle in his seven
teen banks, Democrats have but one ground
of fear of the election of Pennoyer, and that is
the influence of Ps?'s $ $ 3 f -
