Agent EXPLAINS HIS POSITION MR. FULTON SAYS HE HAS KEEN MlSQl'OTKD. Alternating From Abuae to Sur amin lit Score 'Ihe AhIo rlun In IIU Ancr. EDITOR ASTORIAN: I stated In a prevloua article that I had tnil con templated being drawn Into a dlacusalon of ibe river Improvement luxation and that I did not then proio pursuing It further. I hav I but one object In view at that trine, namely, to protea'. agilnt the publication of article op poiliig appropriation by cwgre for the Improvement of the Columbia, a being In bad Unto and calculated on ly to do u harm. In an article writ ten by Mr. Samuel Elmore, present edi tor of tbe Astorian, aubscrtbed "A Loy al Astorian," you My: "I am afraid you will have to recall the remark that you "will not be drawn into a nwa paper controversy or rtae your argu ment in Sunday'a article being torn no hopeleaaly to tatter, your constitu ency w ill have to rally to your aid and pitch It up for you." Well, really, that article you wrote under the name "A Loyal Astorian" waa a crusher, wasn't It? And yet. strange as It may app-ar to you, were It not that you have so deliberately and willfully misouoted and mlareprment- ed me and at the fame time ought to conceal your ow n ear beneath the lion's akin, I cunfe I can see no:hing In any one of your article that d-a not bear on Ita own fare its own anaw-r. Uy the way, Mr. "A Loyal As:orlan"i wbv did you not lgn your own nam to your communlcitlon Instead of well ing to conceal yourself under the man tie of "A Loyal Astorian"? Did you hope by many d ff-rent aounds to cre ate the Impression that public opin ion was with you? Many of u have live I In countries Infested by coyotes before, ne know- how one can hide bebmd a hill and, with hs tongue. r'pr-ent a hundred, but. Just slip iu!et!y around that hill, and '-u Will aee only that aame old coyote. I It not strange that one o loyal so Intensely loyal should hesitate tj sien his true na-ne? Which nu he ashamed of. hla name or his position? I know he should be a.himed of the latler; I doubt not he has every rea son to be ishanicd of the former. You are kind enough to say that I am a can lldate for office, writing for P"" tlcal effect, and that "it Is quite well understood by person familiar with the devioii wiy of political strategy that Mr. Fulton has no desire to antagmize the Multnomah delegation." "Devious ways I good, coming as it does from a past master in the art. I hall no: attempt to question your Am ple knowledge of such ways, nor shall I attempt to match you In tht Held. for I deem It neither wisdom nor recre ation to "dice with the devil." " There are. you say, no political aspiration bulling in Ihe editorial bonnet." (Sam's bonnet at present.) Who has said ny thing about politic but yourself. Who haa accused you of aspiring to office? ho are they that flee when none pur sue? I fear "the lady doth protest too mui-h." Now, .ir, so far as my alleged fear of antagonizing, politically, the Multno mah delegation Is concerned, ihe whole state knows I have continuously antag onized It during the laat twenty yeans, and luring .he lat 'en years, you, Mr. Editor. It ! equally well kno.vn, have assisted them In all their political tlirhta. Now, really, were you not Just a little unhappy in Introducing politics into this dlscr.'.on? It waa unneces sary, certilnly Just J unnecessary as it was to become personal or ascribe motives at all. I had not questioned your motive, but condemned your Judg ment In contending against appropria tions for the Improvement of the Co lumbia. You say you have always stooj for the common point. Have vou? Always? Well, yes, sometimes. Hut, who win dlacujisalng the common point? This Is the charge I bnng against you. that you have completely evaded the issue. 'You seek to make it appear rhat I m opposing the extension of common rate to Astoria. ou say that Mr. Ful ton "scored this paper for Its attitude in demanding that Astoria be recognu ed aa the seaport of Oregon." Is that true? You knj.v, and every person who ha real my articles, know it is not true. The following are the statements criticised: "The government of tho United States has no m.ire right to expend money on the improvement of the Columbia river hmnel between Astorian and Portland than It has to exp"n.i money to Im prove the streets of Portbod." And. 'government appropriatt ns to enable easoing vessel io ascend the river to Portland are not only a misuse of public fund they are at the same time a swindle on the government and a fraud upon tho .'Igh's of every pro ducer in the Columoia, bisin. And. the Delaware Is a very deep, wide river, navigable at aM season of the ear." whil'. per inference, "the Co lumbia la not," that is. neither wide nor deep, nor navigable at all seasons of the vear. These were the statements I crlti. iseil. I as red and I repeat that such article only create enemies for us throughout the entire state not alone in Portland- Eastern Oregon, as w'ell as Portland, is Interested In this mat ter. When you tell them that ihe Co lumbia is not "wile nor deep" and that It Is a fraud on the government and the producrs to Improve it. you Justly excite their indignation and in- Ite thoir enmity, i protested in me name of our pe iple, against such state ment belrg accepted as representing the sentiment of this community I re iterate that protest. You answer that I am a candidate for oftlee. Even If I were, It would not, in all probability, mnke tho Columbia loss wide or les eep. or bus a highway for commerce, nor an axiom any the less a solf-evl- ent truth, nor decency and manliness anv the less admirable. You say "It would be interesting to known what I Pacific NavigationCompany Steamers "Sue II. Elmore" and "XV. II. Harrison" Only line Astoria to Tillamook.

You pay nclhfnj for a fancy box, wrapper or perfume. It is all in the soap I It floats. Mr. Fulton' sources are for ascertttn - Ing the sentiment of this community." I answer, by meeting and talkin with our people. Sine; publishing the two artlcl ' you cr tlciae, I have been assured by letters from nil over the oountv and by th great majority of the peop! I have met. tha: I have truly expressed the r?n:tment or m;s community. You say that you "have been demand ing that Anoria be recognized as the saport of Oregon." I am with you for that, moat heartily. Uut is it neces sary' to "knock" some other Place in order io advance our own Interest? W want appropriation for Improvement of the entrance to ihe river and of our harbor. In the name of common decen cy wbv should we protest aganst cm. gross aiding some othr place. I agre that Improvement of the entrance 's of first importance and I would asaert (If the order of Importance were under discussion), that opening the upper Co lumbia is next in Importance, but I also contend chat It is Important that appropriations be made for Improving the lower Columbia. Were the latter. however .'In our judgment), not or any importance, I contend that it w ould b narrow minded and semsh to the Bor der of 'ndecency in us t oppose such appropria.lons. and that, in particular. Is the point I have sought to make clear. Conscious, evidently, true you 'tan J en slippery ground, you talk loudly about the common pn'-, and about what the Budget and Daily News Live sa'.d. I can not avoid remarking, in passing, that It will not eac.ipe the notice of the public tiiat your desper ate need of help haa caused you for the first time to speak a kmdiy word concerning your "esteemed contempor aries." But you will not find them rushing to your lid. Nor will yourj "clevirus strategy m pi'ung mem un the shoulder avail. The Bu-Ig-.'t has never voiced and. I am told, does not endorse any such sentiments as those for uttering which I criticised you. The Dailv News did once, in the article I criticised, but all Its orevlous utter ances were In line with my Position, and the editor of rhe News has Inform ed me that the article I criticised ap peared in his paper unobserved by him and did not express his sentiments. The fact Is. I should properly have given attention to the Astorian first, as It has been the real, uniform ana con tinuous offender In this matter. It is responsible for having arrayed every part of Oregon against us. But the river and harbor committee being about due when I saw the article In the Duly News, I answered It for I thought I oucht not, at this time, to remain un answered. But, you may observe. have not been so far wrong, after all in mv estimate of public sentiment. Had I not known the sentiment of our people, I would never have doubted It I know they would never be guilty of so ghouimh an act as that of seeking to prevent some other locality from se curing congresMl inal aid In order to help themselves. I do not have to ask our people what they th'nk about such a proposition. Now. hereafter, in your discussion. I want you to stick to the ouestion. Don't try to ring irf any more propositions like this: "For years the business men of Astoria and investors whose fortunes, large and rmall, are Invested here, have been demanding that common point rites be granted this port." You know we all aeree on that proposition. I believe I have labored as earnestly as any per son to secure common rate for our rort. I have invested as much money In our city. In proportion, as any other nerson. surely, for I have invested in this city and county every dollar I lave made, and I expect to continue doing so. But. sir, the common point is not the question and you know it. It is a ques tion purely of nonesty and decency The question is, were you Justified in saying, (1) that Astoria will oppose all appropriations by congress to improve the Columbia. For tht, remember, Is v. hat you a il l; and, (2) that the Columbia Is not a wide or deep river and Is not navigable, between here and Portland, at ail seasons of the year, lor that, remember, is whit you said, Now, I assert that the sentiment of our peopb will not sustain you in such con tontions and that ' In making such statement you do not reflect 'heir sen timent. On that proposition. Mr. "A I.oval Astorian," (remember, Tieroarter. IN VALUES. pound for pound, there is ! that a truly loyal man never fear ; to ubcriSe his nsme In support at his position) I do not hesitate to gJ before "my constituency" concerning; whom you are ao sincerely alarmed. As for my loyalty to Astoria, whlcl you seek to impugn, I have only to say. that I have resided bre now, over $. ifuarin il a i-7ijiu.j. 'in ua.e u i vestel here. I am willing that my fel low citzens "hall answer whether or not I h.iv been loval to our city. I can . ... 4 ti f I .. - f- I n ! rielv hnne ?n neitn.r thronrh that growth and prosperity of Astoria. But if it be disloyalty to decline to believe that one may properly pull another down in order to lull himself up; that to advance our own locality we muet retard another: tha In order to establ ish on-j own good character. It i necessary to slander one's neighbor, and tha: the doing of all these I honorable and decent, then, sir. I am disloyal. C. W. FCLTON.
