PAGE EIGHT. THE MORNING ASTORIAN, TUESDAY, APRIL 12,1901. STRAIGHT-OUT DEMOCRATS WILL CONTROL CONVENTION Mean to Name Their Ticket at the Conven tion to Be Held on Saturday and to Forever Forsake the Name Citizen. RiVoutionists Have Been Hustling for Weeks Past and Will Go Into the Convention Prepared to Do Business Without Con sideration for (he Political Feelings of Those Who Have Backed the Mongrel Organization. Local political Interests now centers in the democratic county convention. which will be held next Saturday after noon at the court house. In brief, it can be stated that the straight-outs have put a kink in the "cltlien" aggre ration that trill never again be straightened out, and the nomination of a real democratic ticket is assured. To those who know of the uncertainty and vislssttudes of politics, the state ment will seem rather a strange one. but it's true "nevertheless. The cltlsens hopes have gone agllmmering, and yes terday the citixen leader, City Attorney "Tone" Smith, threw up the sponge. The straight-out moveemnt has been on for years. When the citizen move ment was first inaugurated the old time democrats found solace in ad ministering occasional defeats to the YeDublicans. and the novelty of the thing kept them in line. But they soon began to long for the old name and the old principles, and they protested against their dellverence to what they came to regard as an unholy political machine. However, the citizen leaders .managed to pull the right strings at the right time, and all efforts to disrupt the organization fell flat So citizen tickets were named despite the grow ing rebellion within the ranks of the democrats. . Every year there has been more or less talk of a straight ticket, but no genuine effort was ever made until this spring. Because of the fact that this is presidential year, the democrats de termined to take the political lever in their own hands, and for the past three weeks the straight-outs have been hustling. They sounded all of the un terrified, and generally found sentiment in favor of an unmasked organization. The vagaries of the citizens movement disgusted them very much when Dr. J. Tuttte wits permitted to make the race for state senator in the recent special election without opposition, and ever since the doctor paced along the polit ical path at his ease the straight-outs have been smoking the anti-citizen pipe. It transpires that the most promi nent men and the most active work ers on the democratic side are straight outs. They furnish the sinews of war and do the hustling. For years the citizen leaders have been In position to compliment themselves on the ex cellent work which they have permit ted the atralght-ouj to do for the mongrel organization, but the worm has finally and effectually turned. The straight-outs got together in large numbers, and, absolutely Ignoring the other fellows, went to work to Insure the stability of the ounty convention. They told their friends they would hereafter vote the democratic ticket or else stay away from the polls, and they meant every word they said. The citi zen partisans were not consulted; the other fellows said they could get along without them. "This is going to be our convention," they said, emphasis ing the "our," "and," they continued with emphasis on the personal pronoun "we are going to run it" And this seems to be the situation. When the convention is called to order straight-out will be elected chair man and a straight-out committee on order of business will be named. It ill bring In a straight-out report and the report will be adopted with much enthusiasm. The adoption of the re Dort will mean that there will be no occasion for holding the citizen con-f vention, to which the democrats used i all right with me. to adjourn, but straight-out candidates ' good men to run." will be named. The citizens may not like the proceeding, but they will have to stand for it City Attorney Smith has been at the head t)f the citizen movement For anyof the faults of the machine he has been blamed. Indeed, the straight- out campaign which has terminated so successfully is openly stated to be nothing less than a revolt agulnat Mr. Smith's administration. The straight-' outs have determined to relieve Mm of the responsibility of conducting the af fairs of the democratic party. There may be interlal dissensions be fort this object is accomplished, but the straight-outs feet they may as well be hanged for sheep as for lambs. Just at present, confident of success at the convention, the straight-outs art looking around for candidates. They declare Councilman J. V, Burns and Councilman George W. Morton will be named for the legislature They aver John Blue is going to be their candi date for the office of sheriff, although it has ben said Mr. Blue would not con sent to make the race. Democrats say they have talked with him and he ha consented, while republicans allege he will not run. No one will be named for county clerk. It Is agreed no man In the county could make even a re spectable showing against Couch Clin ton, who Is satisfactory to all of the democrats, and so far as county clerk Is concerned the democrats will have no candidate. If some enthusiast wants to pay for some advertising, the con vention might nominate him, but such action would, in the opinion of leaders, be bad politics, as It would merely have the effect of antagonizing the friends of a man who can not be beaten. The democrats will take advantage of In creased timber land assessments to provide campaign thunder against As sessor Cornelius, and will rename An drew Toung for county commissioner. Whether or not Surveyor Astbury will have opposition does not appear from developments thus far. School Super intendent Lyman and Coroner Pohl, democrats, have already been nomi nated by the republican "I guess the boys are determined to name a straight ticket," said City At torney Smith yesterday. "They talk that way, at least, and It looks now like a cinch. So far as I'm concerned, it's PERSONAL MENTION. Captain Nick Weber was In the city yesterday. Frank It Stokes returned Inst night from IortIund. L. Lebevk was up the river yesler- dtty. returning on the night train. R. V. Jones returned lust night from the metropolis. II. T.

London, April 1L The mall which has just reached London from east Africa brings an interesting account of a somewhat exciting experience which recently befell the travelers on the Uganda railway. The train was ln the act of slowing down before reach ing Sultan Hamond station, where it was due to arrive at daybreak, and was traveling at only 8 or 10 miles an hour, when the engine driver experienced series of shocks, which convinced him that he had run over something. He immediately applied the brakes, and as a result the nasseneers. who were for the most part attired in sleep ing costumes, turned out on the four foot way. It was then discovered that the impact was caused by a monster rhinoceros, which was found slowly rising Itself from a sitting, posture about 100 yards down the line. The more sportive section of the passengers rushed back for their rifles, but, pos sibly owing to the feeble and uncer tain character of the light, the bullets whizzed past the mighty pachydrem, terrified were the native laborers' that they absolutely refused to work unless protected by a stockade, which was built round them, Total , $784,768 01 LIABILITIES.
