should be left on yonr ticket. He is an
experienced teacher and an excellent
citizen.
Mr, George DeYaney the union nomi
nee for assessor is a life long resident of
the county and is familiar with values.
He wiil fill the office carefully. Mr.
DeVsney . will never vote to lower rail
road assessments.
Crawfordsville, we believe bas never
been represented on the board of county
commissioners. A vote for Mr. Swann
is one for a practical man.
Mr. F. M. Jack ot Brownsville, will be
a safe man for county treasurer. The
office is one that should - be filled by a
man who is prompt and accurate, qual
ities which Mr. Jack possesses.
All efforts to make any capital out of

principally against his grammar. That
won't play much part with voters.
Be sure when vou vote to tee that a

P. H. D' Amy Is one of the brightest

his If gal transactions and business affairs

No one can question the ability of Mr.

well. He has a faculty in this line that
peculiarly fits him for the position, one
if elected he will fill personally.

-The alleged maiigment of the character
of the present aseeesor by Judge Crowell
consisted simply in the charge that he
voted against raising tbe . f. aasee-

the cost of the road. This is a matter
of record.
Mr. I. A, Munkers, the union nom
inee for sheriff is making an excellent
impression on tbe campaign and the
people of tbe county are realizing that
their interests will be safe in bis bands.
He belongs to a pioneer family, but bis

sufficient to stand the test.
The outlook for lheeection of the nn
ion senatorial and legislative ticket in this
county ia remarkably good. . The ticket is
composed of men who will represent and
not misrepresent the interests of the peo

there will be no reason for any mem

Geo. E. Chamberlain's Address.
Ex Attorney General Geo. E. Cham
berlain spoke at the court house last
night to a fair audience. After a few
complimentary remarks for the city in
which he resided for so many years, he
immediately got down to business on the
main issues of the campaign and con
fined his discussion to the free and un
limited coinage of silver, initiative aod
referendum, and government by injunc
tion. We give a few ideas presented! -
We have jest shown what we can do
without the consent ot any other power
in our war against Spain." As soon as
war was declared the other great coun
tries at once declared their neutrality.
It is not true tnat the republican party
has not been in favor of free coinage of
silver. Both parties in ana iooo
and 1892 declared the eame as the record
shows. The platform of 1S96 is familiar
to alt, - The republican platform of Ore-'
gon In 1890 'ana ios uwi "
free coinage of silver. Mf . C W Fulton's
free Bilver record was, shown and the
speaker made the etatement tbat the re
nublican paper of Albany was advoca.
ting a policy directly opposite to what it
did a few years ago.
From 1792 to 1873 free coinage oi silver
existed without varying a point. In 1873
silver was demonitited and the record
shows it absolutely. Then the price of
gold rose and silver apparently depre
ciated. Silver became a commodity and
either gold has appreciated 100 per cent
or the commodities have fallen, which
was ably Illustrated. Other countries
also demonitieed silver and there could
i,.A.inniimnit. wshTe a 200 cent
nld dollar and not a fifty sent silver
dollar. If the republicans c aim the credit
of good prices for wheat and a few otbeT
iliinmi thev also should tat tne creaii
of the starvation in India. He showed
the falsitv of the statement being made
that the increased price ot wheat.is due
to the factories being opened. The truth
ia thev have not been kepi open but
m.n r dosed : hut to the demand in
toreian countries.
The proposition that silver would be
h h other countries was
inDoe tb e as thev would lose money by
it The honesty of the dollar under free
urinate was fully proven. The Gage
system of finance was well ventilated
under itit places the finance of the count-
m in the hands of the national bants,
under it the bank could expand or con
tract the currency at will. Instead banks
should be absolutely separated from tne
government.
A'hen silver was demomtised in India
in 1393 there was an appreciation in gold
of 25 ner ent in 15 dava. Since 1892 the
value of property in Oregon bas depre
eiated according to assessment trom$22S,
000.000 in 1392 to$143,000,000 in 1897 due
to the appreciation in the value of gold
It was .shown bow remarkably the
value of commodities such as cotton,
corn, rye, oats, etc. bad depreciated,
the figures being given .
Oregon was tbe fi'St state to declare
for a single gold standard, done in Asto
ria Lo you want it or tne money oi our
fathers. The bimetallic platform. of the
republicans in 1S9S was simply to catch
fiiee.
The question of government by
injunction was diseueaed in a very plain
manner, showing the reason tor opposi
tion to it.
The reasonablenees of direct 1 emula
tion was ahown, tbe tendency oi which
is to do away with partisanship and cor
rupt legislation.
Mr. Chamberlain spoke earnestly and
confidently.
Tbe Fight for Governor.
From the Frater.
Mr. (Jeer stands before the voters ot
Oregon in a very precarious condition
He was nominated by the Simon Repub
licans, not because ne was their choice,
but because tbey bad to submit to the
voice of the republicans of the state. It
ia well known that Gov. Lord was to
have been the candidate, and bad prom
ises to that effect, but tbe ring leaders
could not resist the demands of a major
ity of the (arty, hence, Mr. Geer was pot
forward. It ia also well known that the
anti-Simon republicans had selecUd Mr.
Geer as their candidate, and if tbe con
vention bad not nominated Mr. Geer
then the opposition would have organ-
iced and but out a ticket with Mr. Gear's
name at tbe head. Now comes tbe fight
between tbe two factions, the Simon Re
publicans are lukewarm, while the anti
8imon men are indifferent as Simon got
the convention, and they feel tbat Geer
will stand in with that element. So Mr,
Geer is between tbe two fires of his own
party, and will likely go down aa a re
suit. Besides Mr.-Geer is not meeting
with very, great success, as a campaigner
and the enthusiasm is very weak in hie
behalf. As between two candidates, it
looks now as though Mr. King will be
victorious.
