It can t e supported conscientiously not ouiy by the republican" Nit by all ol the people who dwrire to - iee, economical and judicious ador. itration ol cauoty af faire. It ia a ui j winner! The manner ia which Mr. Fisher garbled up the republic n platform in hie report of Saturday's cooveutico.J reflects little credit to hinisfil or the Soviet. For instance, at th o?ginoirg olthe platform be mtkm it read, "There fore, we congratulate the republicans," when it should bave been, 'We con gratulate the at ate of Oregon." etc. Bryan has come and none and little was the fusion cuee benefitted by hi adyent to this city, indeed, so bitter was hia arraignment of the republicans that, if any thiog, the opposite was the result. Owing to his physical condition he was a disappointment from an oratorical etandpoiu', t the lets than 3500 psopl who assembled to hear his speech, tha majority of whom were Rose burgers. Oar review of his speech was crowded out f thin i woe. With this im the I'laixdkalkh is changed from au eight column folio to a quarto, the change being made wilb a view of giving our many advertisers better position and better service, at the SJtne time vnabltug uh to ryatrmis OU' news and advertising mailer, and putihe piper in a more convenient and readad- form.

Many democrats will vote the republi can ticket this year on account of tbe ex pansion issue. The Bry unite convention ia ctriain to oppose expansion, and this will cause a bolt lu that p.trty as big as the otiO produced by the repudiation declaration iu 1806. A large portion of the democrats of the country are on the republican side in regard to the nccea stone of territory made in t he past two years. The flag-furling which the Kan sas City convention will declare (or will, be shown to be au unpopular policy among the voters of the Uuited States.

This policy of imperial conquest has iucreaaed our standing army upon the land several fold and trebied our na- vt neon the seat, growing evidence on every hand that tbe enormous expenses attt tiiiant npou tbe increane of army an! armament mint, under this policy, be come permanent only to be met by the ever obnoxious stamp taxes that only an emerging of foreign wai should justify We further charge against the policy of iinprrialitim thut it ia contrary to all tbe time houored, uud time tried principles of,cur govern men t. and violated alike' the letter hh. 1 the spirit ol the declara tion of independence which asserts that all governments derive thtir just powers from the consent o.' the governed. , We pledge ourselves o wage an on- ceasing warefare against all the trust the money trust, tbe industrial trusts and the international landgrabbtng trust We are in favor of tbe immediate con struction, fortification and control ol tbe Nicaragua canai by tbe United States. We favor such control, supervision or ownership by the government ol rail roads and telegraph lines as in the due progress of time may be lound necessary te protect the people from outrageous and unjust exactions in the shape of freight, fares an 1 tods. We favor admendmenls to the federal constitution, specially authorizing an in come lax and providing for the election of tbe United States senators bv a direct vote of the people, and we pledge our legislators to vote only for a candidate lor United States senator who will pup port with bis voice and vote such amend ments. We oppose government by injunction and the blacklist, and favor arbitration as a means of eettliug dispntie between corporations and their employes. In state and local matters we would call especial attention to tbe following: We pledge our legislative candidates to eapport an amendment tj the state constitution providing for the enactment of that system of direct legislation known as the initiative and referendum and the imperative mandates. We be lieve that thereby much vichus legisla tion might be nullified and many good laws placed upon our s atuie hoots. We denounce the republiciu party of Ortjcou for repealing the mor't.ige tax law, thereby exempting a large amount of foreign money from taxation, and corref pondiuly increasing tluu al ready heavy burden upon resident tax payers. We demand the immediate en actment of said mortgage tax law, and that a deduction of indebtedness where thi-re ia a corresponding taxable credit be allowed in acsepuients !or the pur poses of taxation. We denounce as an outrage upon th taxpayers, tbe district attorney' salary bill passed at th last eesMon of the legislature, fixing tin calary f r the secon I judicial dixtrict at fQ0i per en naai. This measure was lobbied through h legislature by a combination tf llioe odicuU of tl.e f tale who neglected ttu-ir dutieo that they might bring undue pres sure to tuar upon the ! gielaturtt iwcl tbui legally rob the taxpayers wbo-.s in terest they ha I e"?rrt to t ro'-i.t a fid -If fend.
