THE
DEMOCRATIC ALLY.
PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECTS.
St. John, the npoetle from the Dem
ocratic camp, may love the prohibition
cause, but he has shown beyond the
shadow of a doubt that he love« the
service of the Democratic party —or
the prioe it brings far more. Prohi
bition success is not half so dear to his
heart as Republican defeat Last
November the question of prohibition
was presented to the people of Oregon
in the shape of a constitutional
amendment, upon its own merits alone,
free from entanglement with any other
political issue. St. John was in Cali
fornia during the campaign of discus
sion preceding the vote upon this
amendment, but he failed to come over
the Siskiyous and labor for prohibition
success. That isn’t the kind of work
he is employed to do. It might have
helped prohibition without hurting
the Republican party, and “ there’s
nothing in that” for St John. He
doee bis work where it will strike the
Republican party the hardest and help
the prohibition cause the last. Hence
the announcement that he is to speak
in Oregon during the coming state
election campaign. Cleveland want's
Oregon to go Democratic next June.
He knows what St. John did in New
York in 1884. and hopes he may be
able to do the same thing here this
year. By a majority which covered
the proposed amendment like a New
York snow storm, the people of Ore
gon have just decided that they do not
want prohibition. Only one thing can
be hoped for in dragging the question
into the coming campaign, and that is
Republican defeat St John is ready
and available for this work; it is just
in his line, and he is to be set at it
soon. Prohibition can take care of^t-
self in Oregon when there is no na
tional politics in it, but when Demo
cratic interests demand it, and the
liquor interests cannot be damaged,
then St John is ready to come even to
Oregon to set up his third party trap
for Republican prohibitionists. But
he will not meet with the success he
anticipates. It has boen so short a
time since the vote on the amendment
that his shameless inconsistency is too
harsh for most people to endure with
patience. He need not declare in Ore
gon that he is working to cripple the
Republicans as a means to the great
end of prohibition success. His couree
with regard to this state proves beyond
ground of denial that he has just re
versed the proposition. He is simply
using prohibition as a means to de
feat the Republican party. He may
be doing all this in revenge for the re
buffs he has met with in the past, but
most people will believe there is more
than that in it for St. John.

Looking at the present demoralized
condition of the Democratic partv, the
Kansas Democrat very truthfully re
marks that “if the message of Presi
dent Cleveland is, indeed, to be the
central issue in the coming campaign,

the state in connection with the nomi-
natiprr for supreme judge to be made
by the Republican state convention
next month. It is pleasing to note
the ability and high character of our
circuit judge thus recognized in
other parts of the state. The remarka
ble popularity shown in his election
twice by a good majority npon the Re
publican ticket in a district largely
Democratic, has very naturally turned
attention toward him, but the T idings
is under the impression that Judge
Webster could not be induced to leave
his present position for a seat upon the
bench of the Oregon Supreme Court.
With its present parsimony and in
consistency in holding the supreme
judge's salary at $2000, while a circuit
judge receives $3000, the State of Ore
gon would confer a doubtful favor in
most cases in thus “promoting” a mem
ber of its judicary. Of course, tho
T idinos does not known whether or
not Judge Webster would consent to
the sacrifice involved if the nomina
tion should be offered him, but it pre
sumes that b<s name has lieen used
without his consent thus far, and while
it would heartily rejoice in his advance
ment in any manner, it doesn't feel
that the First Judicial District could
very well afford to lose the judge it
has twice elected in so notable a man
ner. And, by the way, how would
some other district that has a judge
who presides over its court with ability
and honor, like the suggestion from
ns, that he be sent to Salem for six
yeara, and have hie salary reduced 331s
per cent, by way of promotion?
The Philadelphia Times (Indepen
dent with Democratic leading) has
made a wide canvass among Republi
can voters of New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, and Minnesota, to learn
the preference« for Presidential nomi
nee, and the estimates of Republican
chance« of success in the next election.
The result is told as follows in Mon
day's dispatches:
Conservative and observant republi
cans in every ward and township in all
the state« named were consulted and
asked for their estimate of the feeling
among republican voters in their re
flective districts. Immediately upon
the publication of Mr. Blaine’s de
clination, which hail for the first time
made the situation at all Complicated,
these representative republicans were
asked to carefully observe the feeling
in their respective localities, and on a
given day during the past week to re
port especially for this canvass. This
they did to the numlier of several
thousand, over 800 replies having been
received from New York city alone.
Every effort was made to get at the
feeling of the people, without regard
to the politicians. The canvass was
not conducted in the interest of any
body, but solely for the purpose of as
certaining the preferences of the peo
ple.
The questions upon which informa
tion was sought were preferences for
presidential nominees; condition of the
party as compared with the same time
in 1884; whether the labor or the pro
hibition vote would be likely to change
the usual results; and in Minnesota,
whether or not the people favored high
protective tariff. Each man consulted
was asked to drop his own prejudices,
and to report the feeling among the
republicans in bis own voting precinct
exactly as he found it. Comparatively
few wards or townships in any of the
five states of New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Minnesota were un
heard from.
Beginning in the Northwest, it is
found that Lincoln leads in Minnesota
for first place, with Gresham a close
second. Many refuse to accept
Blaine's declination as final, while
others declare that his withdrawal has
increased his chances in their districts
at least 25 per cent. Moderate tariff
reform is demanded, but the assertion
that the republicans of Minnesota are
for tariff for revenue only is repudi
ated. Prohibition is making some in
roads, but is not greatly feared.
Indiana is uudeniably for Harrison,
Gresham hardly being in sight Lalxir
and temperance will not figure promi
nently as issues, but pensions for old
soldiers, and a fair count of all the
votes cast either North or South, are
loudly called for.
Ohio is solid, outwardly at least, for
Senator Sherman, with inclination no
ticeable everywhere to desert him on
the least provocation and go over
either to Blaine or Foraker. The
latter says he is not a candidate for
first or second place, but he has lots
of warm friends throughout the state.
Sherman will have a solid delegation
in the Chicago convention.
In Pennsylvania there is no settled
consensus or preferences. All the
republicans in the state were for
Blaine, and since his withdrawal the
sentiment has not been fixed upon
any one. Cameron could have some
delegates, but be insists that he is Dot
a candidate. Those who mention him
are politicians; the people say nothing
about him. The next most prominent
men are Lincoln, Hawley, Sherman
and Depew. The state is safely re-
publican for anybody.
By far the most carefully canvassed
state was New York, There is un-
deniably a strong sentiment in favor
of the nomination of Blaine by acclama
tion. With him out of the way Depew
leads with Blaine a close second, de
clination or no declination. Hiscock
and Sherman are the next favorites,
but they are a long way behind.
From every section come reports
that the party is in far better fighting
6hape than at this time four years ago,
dissensions and personal ambitions
having been wholly dropped, and the
one idea being that of winning. It
will be a campaign between the two
old parties, and third or fourth partiee
will not affect the result. The tariff
is to lie the main issue. Expressions
of good will are held out toward Conk
ling, because it is deemed essential to
harmonize all the heretofore discordant
elements in the party. Voters say
they are already eager for the fray,
and wish it were now on, and they are
organizing campaign clubs in every
city, village, and even in the country.
The New York Tribune editorially
reviews the result of the canvass, and
says: “More than seven thousand
responses were received. ThB canvass
was based on the assumption that
Blaine is out of the race, yet nearly
one-third say they will have him any
way, declination or no declination.
The next most striking fact is the
strength of Chauncey M. Depew in the
East, with a lack of it quite as marked
in the West and Northwest In New
York be is firet choice, always with
the previse that Blaine is out of the
way. In Ohio he stands third on the
list, Sherman being first, with Blaine
only a close second. The Gresham
boom is nowhere lie«ide that of Har
rison, either m their own state or else
where. In Minnesota Senator Hawley
makes a small showing. The only
stato among the five in which Allison
exhibits any strength is Minnesota.
Hiscock has nearly as large a total as
Allison, but it is to be remomlx-red
that New York is included in the can
vass, while Iowa is not. Conkling has
little less thas half the strength of
Hiscock. It is noteworthy that there
is do sign of crystalization upon any
candidate.”
IS IT A BLUFFf
IB. F. dispatch to Oregonian Mar. 20.;
By some persons it is thought the
Southern Pacific Company’s plan for
the construction of a railroad from
Montagne, on the California & Oregon
line, into Nevada, apd through to Kel
ton, Utah, where it will connect with
the Central Pacific, is for the purpose
of discouraging the Chicago A North
western in its efforts to reach thia city,
and also to cut off the Union Pacific
railroad from securing the extensive
stock shipments which it obtains from
that part of its territory. The con
struction of such n line would iisenre
the Southern Pacific Company of a
share of Oregon and Washington ter
ritory trade now going by the Oregon
Stiort-Line and the Northern Pacific.
In commenting npon tho report of
this intention of the Southern Pacific
Company, a well-informed man re
marked to-day: “Having covered its
own territory pretty thoroughly in the
building of branch lines here and
there, the Southern Pacific now con
templates the construction of several
strategic lines, which are intended to
insure it against invasion. I don’t
say these roads will actually be built,
but th?y will be surveyed with a flour
ish of trumpets that means to warn in
vading hosts that they are treading on
dangerous ground. Surveys will lie
run and passes bold against new comers
wherever possible. The company has
a strong and well equipped force of en
gineers on its road, for which it dow
has but little use except to employ in
this way. The new line from Monta
gue to Kelton may be built in the couree
of time, but if it is only surveyed, and
there is great noise about it, it will have
nearly the same effect upon outside
lines seeking entrance here as if the
road were actually constructed and in
operation.”
In its editorial comment upon the
results of the Philadelphia Times’ can
vass of republican sentiment in New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Minnesota, the San Francisco Chron
icle says: “An especially encouraging
sign of success is that in all of the five
states referred to the republican party
is already as wide awake, eight months
before the election, as it usually is in
June or J uly. There can be no doubt
that more interest by far is felt now
than was felt in 1884 even just before
the election, and that the ranks are be
ing closed up and the republican forces
put in battle array in ample time for
the oomiug contest We may talk as
we like about the defeat of 1884 being
attributable to St John or to Burchard
or to the mugwumps; the plain fact is
that it was due to internal dissensions
i^the republican party, and to a lack
of organization and discipline, so es
sential to success in any kind of a con
test. The republican party will not
make that misLake again this year, and
if defeated will not have its own lack
of preparation and harmony to thank
for it The outlook, as reported to the
Times, is extremely favorable for re
publican success. The democrats,true
to their custom, have managed to do
the wrong thing at tho right time, by
trying to cram free trade down the na
tion's throat, and the republicans pro
pose to resist tho process, on liehalf of
the bono and sinew of the country, and
in so doing to elect a republican presi
dent and a republican house of repre
sentatives."
