Judge Gray's explanation of the
country's financial condition merits the
attention of taxpayers. It Is a com
plete and convincing answer to the
wanton and malicious "charges" of
the democrats who are steering the
"citizens" campaign. It is a state
ment upon which Judge Gray chal
lenges Investigation. Instead of run'
nlng the county In debt, as these demo,
crats would have It appear, the pres.
ent administration has actually reduc
ed the county's Indebtedness over $20,-
00o, besides paying nearly JU.OOO of
Interest on the debt accumulated be
fore It went Into oftlce. There can
be no question as to the correctness
of the showing, and any citizen can
so satisfy himself by an examination
of the statement In another column.
The utter desperation and unscrupu
lousness of the men behind the "clti
ens" movement Is clearly demonstrat
ed by this statement. It exposes a
deliberate and premeditated purpose on
the part of these men to defeat the
republican ticket by willful fraud and
Imposition on the people. Its effect
will be disastrous on the "citizens"
ticket. It is difficult to see how any
man with a spark of honesty and
truthfulness la ' his composition can
endorse such campaign methods as
Judge Gray's statement convicts the
democrats of at the polls on Monday.
The Astorian would like to say a few
earnest words to the republicans on the
subject of the legislative ticket As
explained a few days ago there can
be no objection raised to John Hahn
on the score of his standing as a citizen
and a business man. He is known to
be honest, but headstrong and inde
pendent. And there Is Just the rub
with his candidacy for the legislature
this time. Any other year John Hahn
might be a good man to send to the
legislature from Clatsop county. But
the very virtue which would recom
mend John Hahn In an off year Is a
vice this time. Let the Astorian ex
plain very briefly what It means. John
Hahn has been Induced to become a
candidate for the legislature on the
theory that the republican party of
Clatsop county deserves to be turned
down. It Is not necessary to discuss
the reasons, fancied or real, why this
sertiment has found expression in
John Hahn's nomination; suffice it Is to
say that it exists and that the demo
crats are moving heaven and earth to
take ADVANTAGE of it. Now. or.
dinarily, It should be enough for any
republican to know that the democrats
are favoring any local political com
bination to justify his opposition to
it. Especially ought this to be so In
a year like this, when the combined
forces of opposition to republican
measures of public policy are making
the most desperate battle In their his
tory. The republican party has made
wonderful gains In the affection of the
people within the last four years. Its
success In the administration of the
affairs of the Nation has been un
paralleled in human experience. It is
a waste of time to attempt to explain
why this Is so; every man, woman or
child, of reasoning age, knows that It
is true. If William McKinley is elect
ed this year, and congress continues
to be controlled by a republican major
ity, both the democratic and populist
parties, so far as their present alleged
principles are concerned, will go to
pieces. Neither will ever dare affirm
In national or state platform the doc
trines upon which they now profess to
stand, any more than the democratic
party dared to affirm after the civil
war, which It fomented and encouraged
by every means in its power, the here
sies of negro slavery and state rights.
Beaten this time, no more will ever
be heard of the democratic and popu
list parties, as those parties are now
constituted and under their existing
leadership. There is nothing, there
fore, that a democratic or populist poli
tician can do or promise that he will
not undertake or pledge this year for
the sake of defeating the republican
party. It is their last stand, and they
will make the most of It. Now, com
ing back to John Hahn, the Astorian
wants to say that by reason of the
crisis that confronts the republican
party, to send men of his stamp to the
legislature this time is a dangerous
experiment. To any reasoning and In
telligent man the Astorian can prove
this by an argument resistless and
unanswerable. In doing this it will
not, and need not, say one word against
his character. In fact the very prin
ciples for which he is supposed to
stand, and which the Astorian would
ordinarily be among the foremost to
commend, prove his utter unfltness as
a legislative candidate. The first qual
ification; the overwhelming qualifica
tion; almost the only qualitlcatlon, a
candidate for the legislature in any
state In the Union should possess to
day and especially candidates for the
legislature In Oregon Is unswerving,
uncompromising, utter and unquestion
ed fealty to republican measures and
fidelity to the majority rule of the
party In Its conventions and caucuses.
No other republican, whatever his per
sonal worth, his personal views or his
opinions, is a safe man to put in the
responsible office of state legislator.
Now. let it be noted! IT 13 UPON
HIS VERY OPPOSITION TO THESE
PRINCIPLES THAT JOHN HAHN
HAS BEEN NOMINATED AND IS
BEING BOOMED FOR THE LEGIS
LATURE. Out of some personal wh!m
or opinion, IT MATTERS NOT WHAT
since It Is an assertion of his Indi
vidual views, contrary to the expressed
will of the republican majority of Clat
sop couaty. JOHN HAHN. still pro
fesslng to be a republican, is seeking
the overthrow of the REGULAR leg
islative candidates of the REPUBLI
CAN party for the legislature. That
is to say, he asserts the right of his
Individual opinion upon a matter of
party policy against the MAJORITY
opinion of the republican party. Now.
what John Hahn has done In Clatsop
county politics in Astoria, he will do
in Oregon politics at Salem. He Is that
kind of a man; it is because of Just
such egotistical, revolutionary, unre
strained and thick-headed tendency
that THE DEMOCRATS COAXED
HIM ON THE "CITIZENS" TICKET.
AND ARE MAKING ALL KINDS OF
TRADES ON COUNTY CANDIDATES
TO SECURE HIS ELECTION. They
know, if they can fill his mind with the
Idea that he is greater than the re
publican party at Salem, JUST AS
THEY HAVE PERSUADED HIM HE
IS IN ASTORIA, he will feel himself no
mors bound by the republican caucus
nomination for United States senator
than he has considered himself bound
by the republican majority nomina
tions for legislative candidates in
Clatsop county. It Is for these rea
sons, the Astorian contends, that any
republican who voles for John 'lahn
violates the first principle of republican
organization and exposes his party,
his country and his state to a disaster
which may be Irremediable. The best
republican the only good republican
in the situation that now confronts
Oregon and the Nation is the republi
can, regardless of what his other de
flciencies may be, who stands first, last
and all the time for his party rule and
discipline, ABOVE ALL OTHER CON
SIDERATIONS, PERSONAL, PRI
VATE OR LOCAL.
THE ISSUE PRESENTED.
Salem Statesman.
In three years and one month of the
McKinley administration we have ex
ported more agricultural products of
the United States than in four years
of Cleveland's administration, and we
have exported over two hundred mil
lions more of manufactured goods in
three years and two months than In the
full four years of Cleveland's adminis
tration. There can be no mistaking
the fact that und-?r the present era
of comparative prosperity, with labor
ers so generally employed, there has
been a very much larger consumption
of agricultural products than during
the administration of Cleveland. There
has been expansion at home and
abroad, and there will be further ex
pansion, under a republican adminis
tration. Is there any voter In Oregon,
upon carefully taking a view of the
present situation, who would like to
have it disturbed? The way to disturb
It Is to give the opposition to the repub
lican party lease of power at this time.

No Oregon voter should think for a
moment of casting a ballot for a can
didate' for congress who will give aid
and comfort to the opposition, or for
a CANDIDATE FOR THE LEGISLA
TURE WHOSE VOICE MIGHT HELP
TO SEND A MAN TO THE UNITED

AID AND COMFORT. This Is the

of this state when our people need

ELI PERKINS DOWN SOUTH.
The other day. says the Louisville
Commercial. Eli Perkins was Intro
duced by Judge Scott, an old dyed-ln-
the-wool Kentucky democrat. The
ludge Is well known In the blue grass
region, and the grand old Kentucklan
has always been looked up to as a
high priest of "befo' the wah democ
racy." Perkins was Introduced by an old
democrat, and Judge Scott supposed
that Ell was a democrat, too, and he
became confidential with him at once.
"How are we democrats getting along
Judge?" asked Eli In a confidential
tone.
The judge looked at Ell for a moment
to see if he really wanted Information
about the party, and slowly remarked:
"Well, sir, we are getting on very
well financially, but politically we are
running behind; yes, I'm afraid we are
running behind."
"What causes this?" asked Ell.
"Well, sir." said the Judge, sadly,
"I am afraid our party has not been al
together right We have erred In some
thing."
"Where have we erred. Judge?"
"Well, sir, I hate to admit It, but our
Grover Cleveland policy hurt us Ken
tuckians. I wouldn't say it to a black
republican, but we democrats all ad
mit it among ourselves. You see," said
the Judge, "we used to get 35 cents for
wool, and a big price for hemp and
tobacco before Grover came In, but that
Wilson bill hurt us. It knocked wool
down to 12 cents. Free Jute, put in to
help the cotton fellows, ruined our
hemp, and It rotted In the ground.
Then we lowered the tariff on tobacco
and our tobacco went down on us. We
didn't complain, but we democrats did
a good deal of thinking. Cattle and
hogs got lower and lower, and whenj
Grover went out we were pretty poor;
yes, dog-on hardup, sir."
"Are they still bad the times?"
asked Eli.
"No, honestly, the times are good.
Wool and hemp and tobacco have
doubled in price and are still going up,
Cattle and hogs are high and our blue
grass farmers are getting rich."
"Well, what is the matter, then?'
"Why, these good times have knocked
out our dear old democratic party. Our
democratic farmers say that they will
never vote for free trade or low tariff
again."
"Well, what can we democrats do?'
asked Ell.
"I hate to admit It," said the Judge
sadly, "but If we democrats want to
win again we've got to keep the tariff
right where it is. That old Wilson bill
and Bryan's free silver will be a scare
crow to every farmer In Kentucky and
Tennessee. We've tried low tariff and
we know I'm ashamed to say so, but
we know It hurt us! No, sir, the people
are prosperous, but 'our democratic
party Is doing poorly. I wouldn't say
it to a black republican, but that is
the way we democrats talk among our
selves."
As the judge got off the train at Lex.
ington he remarked: "Yes, and there
was another mistake we democrats
made. Grover Cleveland wanted to
sink the republic of Hawaii and put a
nigger on the throne. We democrats
didn't complain, but it made us sick,
for, between you and me, we democrats
ain't puttin' niggers on thrones. Mc-
Kinley's white governor over a repub
lic suits old Kentucky and the South."
