Washington Letter.
Pram oar regular Oarnspondtnt.
Washihotow, Oct. 28th,1895.
President Cleveland and Secretary
Olney could not have teen red a more
satisfactory state ot affairs than the ex
pressions of prominent republican news
papers and Congressmen have brought
about if they had personally had charge
of the arrangements themselves. These
republicans have publicly pnt their
party on record and when President
Cleveland sends a special message to
Congress, as he will do shortly alter it
assembles, setting forth the demands he
has made upon Great Britain to recog
nise the Monroe doctrine, and accom
panying it with Great Britain's answers
thereto concerning its claims in Ven-
suela, the republicans cannot without
. stultifying themselves hold up their
hands in holy horror and cry "jingo
ism 1" They will be compelled to en
dorse the President's position, simply
because their previous utterances will
have left them nothing else to do.
The rather silly report that Harrison
and Quay had made friends and that the
latter is going to take charge ot the for
mer's boom found no believers in Wash'
ington, but it served to bring out several
good, if not new stories, concerning sim
ilar reports in the past. Lota ot people
remember that during the latter part of
the campaign in 1892, at about the time
the Harrison tirket struck the toboggan
slide, Boss Quay went to New York, and
the papers were full ot stories about his
having become reconciled with Harri
son and going to succeed Carter, who
had as chairman ol the Republican Na
tional Committee made a mess of the
campaign, so far as his own party was
concerned. Col. McClare, editor ot the
Philadelphia Times, met Quay in New
York, and being an old personal friend
asked him in confidence whether there
was any truth in. the story. Quay re
plied: "Not a word. I'll tell you why
I'm in New York. I heard that there
might be some danger of Harrison's
election, and I merely ran up here to
test the truth ot the story from the ap
pearance of things. I find that Harri
son stands no more show of election
than a snow-bird. That relieves me.
I'll now return to Pennsylvania and at
tend to re-electing Matt Quay Senator."
Mr. Benjamin Harrison has not given
up hope of getting that nomination
again, notwithstanding the opposition
of Quay, Piatt and other republican
bosses. This has been made very plain
to those who know the inside track
When a number of the Republican Ni
tional Committee met in New York City
last week, to decide upon the date for
the committee meeting which will de
termine the time and place for holding
the National Convention of the party,
Mr. Harrison had a confidential repre
sentative on the ground be is reported
to entertain doubts of Chairman Carter's
friendship for him; others are certain
that Carter has joined the combine
against him in the person of W. S. Jle-
Keen, the railroad man, to find rat the
lull strength of the combine against
bim. He also has an agent Ex-Gov
Saunders, whose daughter is the wife of
"Prince Rues" in the South- trying to
"arrange" foi delegates to the National
Convention.
Secretaries Carlisle and Lamont have
been to their respective homes and reg
istered and they will both vote the
straight democratic ticket on election
day. President Cleveland did not regis
ter, consequently he will have no vote.
Secretary Carlisle says Kentucky will go
democratic, although the majority may
be smaller than usual.
Senator Gorman after having careful
ly gone over returns made by trusty
democrats in every election precinct is
Maryland say there isn't the slightest
doubt of tba state remaining in the
democratic column. The republican
trick of tryiug to persuade democrats to
vote for the republican candidate for
Governor and the rest of the democratic
state ticket is loo transparent to catch
many votes.

there is one carious fact respecting the

this: No living representative of the

tbe same opinion and courage to expreec

make good cit:sens, and twenty one years
might be too long a probation, but tbe
present emigration and naturalization
laws are altogether too liberal, since so

You may talk about your posters and

But they ain't the kind ot mediums that
appeal to common sense.
You may talk about your dodgers nod
your circulars and such,
But I calculate they don't assit-t an ad
vertiser much ;
And especially in winter, when the snow
is on the ground,
I wonder where your posters and your
dodgers can be found?
But within the cosy homestead, when
the parlor stove's aglow,
Tbe newspaper is read aloud to every
one, we know.
The farmer sees tbe painted sign upon
his barn and grins;
Five dollars yearly for the space he
usually wine,
And there his interest in the ad.' begins
and there it ends,
And the same is true of nearly all his
neighbors and bis friends;
But they read thelocai paper every day
or every week.
And in its welcome columns all 'their
information seek,
And you may be quite certain that the
adds, therein displayed -
Are also read with interest and are sure
to mske some trade.
It stands to reason, anyhow, that what

He's going to read and get bis money's

The father, mother, uncle, aunt, the
daighter, aod the son,
Are going to read tbe newspaper, and
so is every one.
So it also stands to reason that a local
merchant's ad.
Will there attract attention, he it either
good or bad,
And the newspaper as medium leads all
other kinds with ease,
For that is where tLe multitude the ad

Rustling ForJCongress.
There Is everyjindicatiou" of a lively
scramble for congressional honors among
republicans of tbe first; district of the
state, saya the Oregon i an, a half dozen
or more candidates this early in tbe cam

Tbe knowledge of this fact has brought
out a number of aspirants who want to
succeed M r. Ellis. Baker eountybea no
less than three candidates. Tbey are R.
S. Anderson,a well-known lawyer; John
L. Band, now prosecuting attorney for
eighth judicial district, and M. L. Olm
sted, also an attorney, who, during the
campaign of 1S94, was looked op on as a
supporter ot the peculiar opinions of the
populist party. When James A. Fee
resigned his position as judge of tbe
sixth judicial district, a few weeks ago
speculation was rife as to what led him
to take the step. Tbe excuse was givtn
that he retired from the bench in order
to give more attention to bis private af
fairs, bnt it ia now developing that

the delegates of Eastern Oregon. Tbe
vote of Multnomah county, hitherto par
ticularly solid for tbe buncbgrass, can
didate, is likely in tbe convention to be
badly split up, unless it is cast entirely
for some candidate from another portion
of tbe second district. Portland will lay
no claims to tbe nomination, although
it is stated that Franklin F. Mars wonld

Don't SnMer with Rheumatism Take Paine's
Celery Compound,
The common sense of the people has
long refused to believe that rheumatism
and neuralgia were diseases hopeless of
cure. j
Prof. Edward E. Their. 5f. D., LL.
p., of Dartmouth college, has confirmed
their belief. There is an absolute spe
cific for both of these disease in Paine's
celero compound. Thousands of men
and women are every year entirely freed
from theee two torturing diserders by
Paine's celery compound.
Neuralgia-pain affects first one part of
the body and then another. Nature's
restorer, sleep, is sought in vain, and
life's ordinary duties Iwoome burdens
too heavy to be borne. In this condition
rest
serious
consequence are likely to ensue, the
nerve must tie built up by a proper
nerve food. There is nothing e-jua! to
Paine' celery compound.
The bodv is not a machine which simp
ly wears out after a certain number of
years, but a vital organUm having the
' ; of rerivifring i!f-pabie of
Uing hard worked, but demanding fre-
UmM of recuperation m sleep.

Paine's relet y compound was first pre
pared. This rapid production of Ireeh
nervous energy and pure blood was the
one endeavor of Prof Edward E. Phelps,
long study of the cause of nervous ex
haustion. The rosult of his life work was Paine's
celery compoond, that remarkable rem
edy that permanently and speediy cures
disease. It is the greatest nerve regu
lator and blood purifier of this present
century.
For men and women out of health.
Paine s celery compound should be tried
without fail. It has meant health in
place of sickness ia thousands of
that seemed bopelees.
The fari that this is the season when
rheumatism most painfully shows itself,
makes the following communication
from Mr. J. SI. Tobias of South Omaha,
Neb., of special interest. Mr. Tobias
writes.
I suffered for years with rheumatism
in the joints of my bands and arms, so
that I could perform my work only with
the greatest difficultv. I used all kinds
of medicines without result. Finally I
