THE STATE FOR UNION.
The Three Reform Parties Unite for
The Coming Battle.
The three conventions which convened
in Portland last week, completed their
labors on last Saturday, after having
been in session four days. The result of
their work is a union ticket composed of
democrats, populists and free silver re
publicans. The platform is an earnest
and patriotic utterance, and speaks in no
uncertain terms upon the issue of oppo
sition to the single gold standard and
the national bank issue and control of
the money of the country. The conven
tions were harmonious, and while their
deliberations were lengthy, yet they
were marked with calmness and wisdom.
The ticket is composed of strong, clean
men. The old political hacks were left
out entirely. The conventions reached
out and sought men in whom perfect
confidence can be reposed. The offices
were distributed as follows : Governor,
state printer, superintendent of public
instruction to the populists ; supreme
judge, state treasurer and congressman
first district to the democrats, and the
secretary of state and congressman in
the second district to the free silver re
publicans. MONEY ISSUE IN A NUTSHELL.
. Union Congress shall have sole power
to coin money and regulate the value
thereof.
Republican The government shall go
out of the banking business, and Con
gress shall grant sole power to banking
corporations to issue and regulate the
currency of the country.
This is the leading question to be dis
cussed in this campaign. The Republican
writers and speakers will seek to evade
this main question, and will endeavor to
engross the minds of the people with the
relative merits of a single or a double
standard, monometalism, bimetalism,
honest money, fifty-cent dollars, and all
the old straw that was so exhaustively
threshed in the lust campaign. They
will sneer at fiat money, while unablo
to show a single dollar that is not fiat
money. Having succeeded in electing
McKinley by equivocation, misrepresen
tation, intimidation, downright lying,
and corrupt use of millions of dollars,
they have thereby become emboldened
to throw off all disguise, and openly an
nounce their determination to make
gold the only money for tho redemption
of the immense iniquitous bonded in
debtedness; to further contract the cur
rency by converting the 340 millions of
greebaeks into interest-bearing bonds;
and to grant 'such further privileges to
national banking corporations as will
enable them to fix the rate of all wages,
the price of all products of the soil and
of machinery, and by expanding and
contracting the currency at will, have all
property and business at their mercy.
To accede to the demands of tho gold
standard Republicans would be a virtual
abdication of the sovereign people of all
constitutional rights or voice in tho gov
ernment. H.D.

"A Significant Vote." Under this
caption Tho Oregonian of March 251th
says: "On Friday last, after the
adoption of the populist platform by the
democratic and silver republican conven
tions without a dissenting vote, a reso
lution indorsing W. J. Bryan as the lead
er of the silver movement in the United
States was offered to tho populist and
democratic conventions and rejected by
both by an overwhelming vote." I was
a constant attendant in the populist con
vention and know no such resolut ion was
presented, and no " significant vote "
taken thereon. Populists were in that
convention to advunce their principles,
not to boom presidential aspirants.
II. Denmnukk, sr.
It is becoming apparent that
there has been some slick work
done by some one in connection
with the leiting of the contract for
the construction of tbe government
building in -Portland. There has
been a strong effort made to have
the building constructed out of
Oregon material, and it was con
ceded by the department that it
should be given the preference, all
other things being equal. When
the architect was asked to disign
ate Oiegon stone in the specifica
tions he refused on the ground that
he was not allowed to specify any
particular brand of material, but
was allowed to specify generally,
only. With this in miud and be
leaving that the architect would act
in good faith Mr. G. W. Davis, of
the Pioneer Stone company made
considerable of an effort to secure
the selection of Pioneer stone tor
the work, and interested several
prospective bidders in the Pioneer
stone. But imagine the surprise of
Mr. Davis and others interesested in
the matter to find that when the
bids were made out that stone was
directly specified of a certain kind
and from a certain quarry. The
stone fpecified is from a quarry sit
uated on the line between Wash
ington and Idaho and is called in
the specifications "Oregon stone."
The Pioneer people feal that thsy
have thrown down pretty hard in
the matter. They have had the
matter taken up by Congressman
Tongue who is using his best ef
forts to adjust the matter in a fair
way. The Pioneer people do not
ask for any advantage in the mat
ter, only that the bids may be so
called lor that they may furnish the
stone if they can do so witn advan
tage to tbe government. They do
not like to be shut out of bidding
by some one that has a pull on
some place along the line. The
quarry that the stone has been sel
ected from belongs to Mile9 C.
Moore, a prominent politician of
the state of Washington, and this
may possibly have had something
to do with the selection of that par
ticular kind of stone.
i
