., . . Mi-.. "i 1 r.lim?Ilf V1LV VTUUrU SATURDAY JI'lv FUSION SHEKIFKS. The Fuuunists have tn j sheriffs in iHirly .til the vall-v ounlies. In .Virion, Frank Durbln, in Linn J A Munkors, in Lane, W W Withers, in Douglax, 11 L Stephens, in Clackamas, J J Cooke. Over on the coast, in Coos, tiny also have V V Gage a I'opulist. Even in Columbia county when- everything most went for the i lamia gold sUndard, J N Uice, the I'opulist was elected shorill. And in the ,.rim college county o. Benton they gave both sheriff' and clerk to Fusionists, former Democrats, Peter Rickard aud Virgil E Watters. But to cap the climax the Republi cans turned down the man who did perhaps more than any man in Oregon to effect the election of President MoKiolej. That is James W Hare, Republican candi date for sheriff of Clat-op county. They elected J VV Williams, a Peo ples, Democratic, Silver Republi cm In place of Hare, who did bo nOUOO t r M Kinley. Hare is well known to have carried every c junty bordering on tho Columbia river tor the II .nii i preridential ticket by large majorities. He increased the vote of every county along the river in a mauuer that was amaz ing. Evea in the little o unity of Columbia tho presidential vote of 189G was 700 greater than the state election vote of tin ume year, and Jimmy Hare would wink one eye and Fay, "didn't I tell you the river counties would be all right?" TEBB1T0RI A 1 1 KX PANSIOI. The words of warning from W'm J Bryan against a permanent occu pation of the Philippines are timely and should command earnest at tention. He say t: "To infliot upon the enemy all possible harm is legitimate warfare, but shall we contemplate a scheme for tho colonisation of the Orient merely because our Hem won a re markable victory in the harbor of Manila? Our guns destroyed the Spanish Iket, but can they destroy that self-evident truth, that gov ernments derive their just powers, not from superior force, but from the consent of tho governed? Shall we abandon njust resistance to European encroachment upon the western hemisphere in order to m ingle in the controversies of Europe aud Asia? "If some dream of the splendor of a heterogeneous empire encirc ling the globe, we shall be content to aid in bringing enduring hap binees to a homogenous people, conaecratad to the purpose of main taining a government of tho people, by the people and for tiie people." HliYAN tiltUWS STP.O.NliEK. The New York World which op posed Bryan in lS'JC has the follow ing to say now of the great silver champion: "Mr Bryan, perhaps better than any other democrat, is lilted to lead in the new revolt against republi can faithlessness and failure. "He has it in him to becomo a national Henry George, giving el -quent expression to what is slum bering in the minds of the masses. "This, and this alone, can elect him president iu 1000. "His hold upon tho de uocralic party in the nation is stronger than ever. "The democrats who elected Mr McKinley on tho issue of national, honor and sound money have been afforded no reason for satisfaction j with their choice of evils. "The so called 'national demo cratic' movement is ended. The World never sympathised wiih nor supported it. "The Indianapolis platform was constructed under plutocratic in fluences. It evaded the democrati: issue against.tho trust and tr.onop olies and their control of politics.' THK DAISY IS THE SOUTH. Here is a curious story pertain ing to the growth of the daisy in ii. a i .. iuumi. ii seeni that it wus I unknown to Dixit Und before tho Civil War. The army of tho North is responsible for planting "tin- flower thai never dice," Kvery part of the Sjuth visi'ed oy the n,on j s covered with dui-.. -. An ex-Confederate oflicer says that ticueral Sherman unconsciously introduced h nrot'e H..I.1 lU.. . i tc-tvs it Mil ".Sherman's famous march to the sea' can be followed iu the summer time by keeping where the daisies grow. The seeds seem to hav ) been transported in the hay that was brought along to feed the horses. This is the only explanation of tho daisy colony." Think of the meadow (lowers accompanying Uncle .-ain's soldiers, and then making the South their home. That Sherman daisy path is the lloral bond between North and South, and the true national fiower the flower of the Union is the Ameri can daisy. ELECTION .NOTES. home Results of the Oregon Contest as Noted by the Salem Jjurnal. Arthur HodVes, county clerk of Crook county, is the only National Democrat elected in the stato. Doughs county, which has for years been in the entire control of the Republicans, is now in the hands of the fusionists. Down iu Cs county thev took a vote on the question of allowing hogs to run at large. The vote stood -138 for nogs running at large and 1210 against. The canvassing board of Coos county were also par ticular to state in their returns that in that county 35 votcj only yoted the state ticket. Linn oonnty decided two import ant questions on the day of election besides the question of officers. Each voter was asked to voto "for or against remodeling the court house." The vote stood 1719 for and loO'J against. Each voter was also askid to vote "tor or against the purchase of a county poor farm." The vote stood 2-19G for and 872 against. Lane and Linn couniy each elected a "Silver Republican" to the legislature. Governor Rogers of Washington. is not a hard hearted man, but seu timentalism does not move him to pardon from the eniten iry dangerous persons, who have for feited their rights to be free. LaBt week the board of pardons recom mended commutation of sentence to five years for outrageous assault. The parents of the little girl protest ed aiiainst commutation of the villain's eentence. After consider ing the case, Governor Rogers wrote this all-meaninj indorse ment on the papers: "Protest of parents respected and commutation denied." Portland Dispatch: Tho anti Mitchell republicans did their best to retain Mr Black as collector of cu-toms, in recognition of tho ser vices render d by the gold demo crats in the recent election aud that of two years ago. But Haunt had to deliver the goods. It causes considerable satisfac tion to know that treacherous time serving Tom Black is out of office. He has no principle almve the love of money and lust for preferment. Ho has been heard of tho last time. Judge Boise, who has just been eleoted in the third district, is 79 vears of age, and he enters upon a six-years' term, at the close of which, should he live, he will be So. He has been on the bench and held other offices longer than any other citizen in the state, and is hale and heart . The Oregonian loves gold stand ard Tom Black erstwhile claimant I of the democratic d signation. And it hates John H Mitchell whom Tom Black voted lor in 1885, treacherously betray ing the party that honored him with its confi dence.

It put to u Vote, the almost unanimous oholosoftbs patrons f the Eugene post office. A man entitled, not only as a part Nan. hut u.s a citizen of worth, to the position, Yit, there is sorrow and grief; some thing must be dons to retrieve the for tune lost, during tiie past campaign, by failure of election of certain persons who promised Dolsl slo for support of the party "mo too" organ, that a few nil Men might roll into its ei Hers, thus keeplug it In existence Tin- county court will not be equal to the occasion; Its days Of Usefulness, "to the victor be longs the spoils," ia past, and "ol polloi," will not be deceived Ugaiu. And, i gaill, our comrades are charg ed with being un'uiihful by "mo loo" editor of the Register, and a friend of "VIOl's" lias been accused of writing what was the truth, and In bis tribu latum some one must bu charged with iulldcllty to party ring ruling that he may cover his grief by being com pelled tO give up the OOUntjP teat. But this astilutc me-too Is entirely wrong, and us a musician wo would suy that he is "Itntando" to iearu Ibe public; at the same time "affettno-o," and easily "agitati." aud that be may learn "a poena pOOO," and in time try and lead and not depend upon others for views and opiuloiis.

The past election should be a lesson to these vain, iiildnlght seekers of pow- er, thut the voters of old Lane wilt not tie shackled by rings or clicks, and are pleased with the change and ever will' be as long as a little "ring" claims to bo the responsible body of this county.
