0RE30N ON FINANCE.
The Oregouiau claims that
Mitchell, Hermann and Ellis
failed to stand upon the republi
can platform of 1892, in voting
for free silver, and yet it con
demned our recent republican
state convention for endorsing the
financial plank of that platform.
In truth that plank leaves the
financial question to a great ex
tent a matter of opinion.
- There is a wide difference of
ideas as to how much silver the
mints can be allowed to coin,
without affecting the parity of
the two metals as money. The
coining capacity of the mints is
limited, and a great many peo
ple who scorn the proposition
that more money will tend to
bring about prosperity, are hard
ly frightened at the bug-a-boos of
the rabid gold organs. The thing
chiefly to be desired is to have
the financial question settled.
The recent election in Oregon
can hardly be claimed as a victo
ry for free silver. In this dis
trict it is true that Tongue re
ceived but a bare plurality, and
that a large number of silver re
publicans voted for him rightly
believing that the republican
party is the safest with which to
trust the solution of all great
national questions. But on the
other hand only a small propor
tion of Myer's votes were those
of free silver democrats. They
voted for Vanderberg, and many
republicans, not for free silver,
also voted for Vanderberg, deem
ing Tongue's election certain,
and wishing to rebuke party lead
ers for the manner in which they
set aside Hermann. - -
In the second district Bennett's
vote evidently came from demo
crats without niuch destinctton
as to belief on the money ques
tion. Ellis' vote was also made
up of republicans of all shades
as to financial opinions, while
Northrup's 8,000 votes were,
without doubt, from the anti-free
silver forces alone. '
The lesson of the election
seems to be, that the people of
Oregon are opposed to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver,
but are not adverse to a much
more liberal attitude toward the
white metal than the present ad
ministration assumes. The vo
ters of Oregon evidently believe
that they can best trust the re
publican party to handle the ques
tion satisfactorily, and that there
are other questions than the fi
nancial one; more important and
more pertinent to our prosperity.
The election is a practical en
dorsement of the principle of pro
tection, and considering the leg
islature, of one of the most able
advocates of protection, Senator
John H. Mitchell.
1 .
In practical operation under
the present condition of affairs,
free coinage of silver in the Uni
ted States would perhaps not do
a great deal of harm. But the
principle seems an unsound one,
and the people of this nation will
not care to experiment with
wrong policies. The extreme
ideas of Cleveland, and such as
are advocated by the Oregonian,
seem greatly away from the true
solution of the problem, while
the position taken by Mr. Tongue
will doubtless be that of the re
publican party, and wfll be the
one endorsed by the people of
this country next November.
The people of the nation ,will
not allow any secretly conspiring
body of men, no matter how good
their purpose, control of its af-"
fairs. The A. P. A. has given
and can give no sensible, intelli
gent reason for its existence as .i
political factor. Good men should
not be afraid to advocate good
principle openly, and as plain
American citizens. The wrong
not the right should prefer dark
ness to light.

A BAD IMPRESSION.
The election of John Whita-
ker does not imply a belief on
the part of Benton county' peo
ple in the principles of popu
lism. The local situation, local
interests, personal matters and
the A. P. A. question contribu
ted to his election. No one
doubts but that Mr. Whitakerj
desires to do all he can for the j
best interests of the people of I
his county and the state, and as
the populists have not strength
enough in the legislature to en
sure the passage of any of their
peculiar legislative ideas, he will
do no harm. .
But it is not to . the credit of
Benton county that a populist
represents her. The populist
pafth is not a safe party. It is a
party of malcontents and vision-
anes. it is tue party iavorea Dy
strikers and anarchists. It is
not a party called into existence
by some mighty convicting prin
ciple of right, but is the project
of little and disappointed poli
ticians, and seizes upon every
floating craze concerning govern
mental matters, in order to gain
popularity. It is but a tempo
rary makeshift party, a party
that has gained control of two
states, nearly wrecked the credit
of both, and been repudiated by
both at the first opportunity.
Benton county .is not a popu
list county. But a small portion
of Mr. Whitaker's votes were
cast by populists and he was
elected despite the fact that he
was a populist, not because of it.
His personality, his honesty of
purpose, is not called into ques
tion, but politically, his election
misrepresents the people of Ben
ton county and does their intelli
gence and good sense an injus
tice. We are represented by a
populist and the world in gener
al will not enquire closely as to
the real reasons.
An important factor in the
prosperity of the Oregon Agri
cultural College is the close
warm sympathy of the citizens
of Corvallis toward the institu
tion. This sympathy is mani
fested in various ways and not
j the least important is the inter
est manifested in the athletic
sports of the students. It would
be difficult to find 'a healthier,
more manly, more intelligent lot
of young men anywhere than
those tht attend the O. A. C.
The worthless sort soon find
themselves out of place and
either reform or leave. Corval
lis people have every reason to
be proud of the. boys and girls
of the splendidly . endowed col
lege that is .yearly gaining in
popularity and is generally
known as the O. A. C
The title Oregon Agricultural
College is somewhat misleading
by limitation. The institution
is also a mechanical college and
in fact is a college of general
science. The literary courses are
far from being neglected and the
young man or woman who thor
oughly masters the courses at the
O. A. C, is well fitted to prose
cute any special pursuit his in
clination and taste may choose.
The scope and practicality of the
work at this institution are but
faintly comprehended by even
some of its warmest friends. The
people ot the state are. fast awak
ing to its value, and indications
point to a largely increased at
tendance next autumn.
Our populist contemporary, the
Times, waxes merry because
Tongue's plurality at the Siletz
Indian votes was 96, while his
plurality over Van'deiburg is only
about 75 in the district. The In
dian contempt Tor populism is
stronger and better based than
the populists' contempt for the In
dian. The Indian looks upon the
populist as a political interloper, a
foreigner and wants none ofMn's
class. These native American
voters by the sea have at 'last a
distinct position on the. money
question, something that our pop
ulist contemporary ha not. at
tained, as far as we can discover
from its editorial columns.

Republican Victory Impossible.
Corvallis, Or., June 6, '96.
Ed. Gazette:
In your last issue, you say "As
usual in this county, republicans
are responsible for republican de
feat," Permit me to say I do not
think the defeat of the county or
legislative ticket is fairly charg
able, to republicans, or . even to
those admirable qualities 'which
you say Sol King possesses, and
which some of our "sore heads" in
du!g d in. We had less dissatis
faction with our nominations than
the democrats had. No man can
count on every member ol his par
ty, but will usually draw from the
opposite one what he losses in his
own.
There were about 1,900 votes
cast. I think the populist party
polled not less than 400 of them.
This would leave 1,500 democratic
and republican votes. I received
833 a fair majority, and all I had
reason to expect Irom my parly.
The combination between populists
and democrats, winch was adhered
to as strictly as if it had been
agreed to in convention, rendered
republican victory impossible. The
democrats surrendered principle
for pelf; the populists fastened a
$5,000 fraud upon the county in
order to get Whitaker in the legis-
lat'ie. He may be worth the
money, but we can tell better when,
we pay our taxes.
The commercial vote was cen
lered upon the democratic clerk
and sheriff by the liberal use of
money and whiskey.
As for myself, I thank the re
publican party for the support
given me, and hope no republican
will feel despondent over defeat
Such a combination as was made
against us is sure to re-act upon
the parties forming it, and will in
time be sure to aid the success of
our principles. "We have made a
clean fight and need not be
ashamed of our record. Will the
democrats dare say as much.

THE VIC
Some of theTamminy boys, at considerable trouble, procured a cut of Tam
many's Tiger flaying the "Gaz6o." - They offered it to the Times,? but our
populist contemporary refused it Fpace, evidently' c'ahning all the glory for the
pops. Fairness to Tammany induces the Gazette-to d'splay the gallant animal.
Uufortunately the Tammany boys, with dlica'e Oii .iderat'on, erased the picture
of the prostrate "Gazoo" before handing in the cut.
