BETWEEN THE IEVIL AND THE
DEEP SEA.
IUre:ly a-.naaing t n way t'te Pop
papers are Houi dering aiound between
the devil and tbe deep sea, on tbe
prosperity question. Take last Monday's
issue of the Review as an illustration.
Tbe first thing o i iis editorial page was a
frantic appeal to the voters to get to
gether in regon, fn as it were, to
Save tbe country from otter ruiu at -the
bands of the gold oluarcby, which, it
claims, is opprawipg the people, and
grinding tbe fau of the poor. In tin
same coluoio thin pi-er 'toasts that ita
business daring Hie present yer has

collections have t-eeu I'O per cent better
than ever before. In the same tiaper ap
pears s statement t tbe condition of the
First National Bitik, of Koeeburg, ehow
iug that the people of l)-uKl(s county
hsve on depoeit in that bank alone,
more than $300,030. Aud yet. those
whining, beily-acbiog hypocrites, prate
aboot the oppression of tbe people by
the trusts and tbe money power, and in- j
sist that tbe voters must "fuee," and go, contract. The court holds that the in

The written agreement to 'which you
ref.r, is a UbrlcUion mch cinmoy
e- etrncii on that it bears its rrfu'.a'.ion
from every ioit of c-jusiJeratioa. To
heliere such a thing true would impeach
my intelligence quit as much as my
integrity. In 'he first pUce, il a man
would sign suth an agreement and ac
cept a sum of money, he would very
naturallv so ahead and make the ap
pointment.
X j man cm b-? fouad whose iugenuiiy
could aaign a reson why a dishonest
governor should not jimp at the chance
to appMn j Jt such a man as the ooe
ooder consideration, specially if there
was a sum of money to be made by it.
There would bo the peciniary profit the
rirprint' no of the transaction, and the
ww . i-r f
nrswervingloyaltv of and constiut in
ststance by him that the governor was
the mot admirable man to be found in
the state.
I had the opportunity to exchange the
appointment for debt that I owe
but refused, and instead appointed an
honest man, wham everybody knows it
ti3 poor to Lave paid a dollar for the of
fice, i- he bad been disposed. In doirg
this I supposed I bad d jae a creJ itable
thing, and if I have a supporter ia the

otherwise, I confess be has a right to be
disappointed. If there u inch a paper
in existence, as the 'one mentioned, it i
aa huut and malicioas a forrerr as war
ever uttered. I would nee stronger lan
guage if I knew bow.
If there is a man in the eUte of Oregon
who believes that I have been knave
enough to sell my ambition, my a It-res
pect and the good name of myself and
children, and stupid enoogb to eigu my
name to a bill of sals, snd fool enough,
having signed the contract and received
lbs money, to not make the appoint

such a transaction or idiot enough to re

bUlofeale, tbe lines are not written
for him, for bis opinion is wholly w itti

TAYLOR INAUGURATED
Kentucky Has a Republican Gov
ernor In Office.
His Aim Will Be to Secure Repeal of
the Present Election Law
of the State.
Fkankfokt, Ky Dec. 12. William t.
Taylor waa inaugurated as governor to- j
day. The crowd was much smaller than
iu past yean, due to a December Mir.-
iii J. The inaugural ceremonies were
simple. Hetiring Governor Bradley, in1
his speech, said that he hoped that the
Goebel election.'iaw, which had brought
so much turmoil to the state, would be
wiped frum the staUte books. Gover
nor EUct I'ajl-jr, in his inaugural ad
drets, raid:
"Tbe verdict rendered hy the people
abt November waa a mandate of tbe
people in favor of civil liberty ; it was s
riuiuph of tbe people over a merciless,
remorseless, partisan machine, erected
to enelave .tiem."
Ho said cue f ll.e chief aims of his
administration would be to secure tha
r.-peal of the election law. The demo
cratic candidates tor state olucea today
bepai serving notices of contests against
the republican candidates who received
certiticstes of election.
POPULISTS UNITED.
Action by the Two Wings of tbe Party
in Jackson County.
Valley (Ashland) IiacorJ.
Pursuant to a call aiguad by J. S. Mc
Cain, fusionist, and Grant Kawliogs,
midroader, a largo and enthusiastic con
ference meeting was held in Med'ord
betwetmbe two wiugs of the party. A
committee on resolutions was e'ected,
consisting oi two from each of the party,
which brought in the following report :
Resolved, That we, your cjamittse
oa resolutions, indorse the Omaha and
St. L-uis p'atforrcs, recommend straight
peepla's party sciion and oppose faeion
or anion in any wsy with either ihe
democratic or republican parties, and we
recommend that all populists regardless
ot former did-rccces get together in their
respective precincts and organize clubs,
This was adopted unanimously sod
forever puts sn end to fusion iem snd
mdrodivm, and makes a united popu
lism founded on the grand principles of
national platforms, with a plan ot or
ganizalioa whose basic principle is the
initiative and referendum and impsra-
slive mandate. It puts sn end to the
tricks cf dirty poaliclans. Tbe wire
puller, the boodler and the office-seeker
a re laid on tbe shelf. Every voter gjs a
chanci at m axing nominations and
shaping the party policy. No more
"platforms to get in on." o more
tricksters to get in on them. Tbe plat
forms will be mads from' principle as
seea by the great common people and
not from expediency by a few shysters
Tbe office will seek the man.
There will be conventions which will
simply ratify tbe action ot Ihe dabs, and
take such steps ss are necessary to com
ply with the election laws.

It has been bandM down for genera

That is just wbst Hood's Saresparilla
does in every esse where it is given
s faithful trial. It eradicates sll imparl
lies from th blood, sod cures tbe
sores, boils, pimples snd all forms of

tbe grateful praise of vast numbers
of people by its grand and complete

curnb to the invisible
genna of consumption
so small that they
can be seen only under
a powerfnl microscope.
The starting; point of
consumption is in the
stomach, which, when
deranged, makes bad
blood because diges
tion is not perfect-and
in bad blood the mi
crobes multiply and
flourish. Sooner or
later the lungs are at
tacked, and in the weak
spots the germs begin
their deadly work of
tearing down the tis
sues. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Dis
covery stops the encroachments of con
sumption microbes. It builds up and
fortifies the whole system by aiding the
stomach in its many functions. It assists
iu the proper assimilation of food. This
scientific remedy cures lingering coughs,
bronchitis, bleeding at the lungs, and
every other symptom that eventually
leads to consumption. Dr. R. V. Pierce,
of Buffalo, N. ., who makes this won
derful medicine, gives free, fatherly ad
vice to all who write htm.
" Lat priug I was taken with nevtre paina ia
my chrM. and am m weak I coiilit hardly walk
atibut the horn,"' nay Mr. G. K. Kerr, of Fort
Dodge. Webster Co. Iowa. "1 tried aeveral
phy:ciaii ami thry told ntc I had consumption,
but thai I might ' brtah. it over ' and perhaps live
rood many veara, I heard of l)r. Pierce'
Golden Medicaf Discovenr and I thought I would
try some of it. Before I had taken the first bottle
X was very much better; t took five bottle of it
and have not yet had anv return of the trouble,
I have also taken Dr. Pie'rce'a Favorite Prescrip
tion and 'Pleasant relicts' with good results."
When the bowels Rre obstinate, take Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They don't gripe.
