THE PROOF IN THE CASE.
This paper has unqualifiedly sum
moned the so-called CITIZENS' party
of Astoria, and Clatsop county to the
bar of public opinion upon the notorious
hypothesis that it is NOT a citizens'
party; that it is purely, and simply, a
vehicle for the democracy of the city and
county. That, whatever it was in its
primary conception and work, in this
community, it is now a mask, a subter
fuge, a blind and clever snare; domi
nated by democrats, officered by demo
crats, administered, guided, and main
taine by democrats for democrats; that
54
it name is a travesity and a fraud; and
that the only reason it is permitted to
maintain it title of "Citizens'" party N
that it may scvve a a political hiding
place foi' men who do not dare declare
themselves to be Democrats and who
dciro to vote Minvptitiou-ly against
their own party; that the democrat of
the city and county are the more candid
of all involved in the pot-pourri, and are
naturally appropriating to themselves
and their party, the civatn of the whole
situation, and that the cream i never
denied them. This is our c;im And
here is the proof, and all of it
On the 21st of April last, the chair
man of the alleged 'Citizens'" party,
Judge C. J. Trenehavd, called it in con
vention; that chairman, was and is. one
of the prominent democrats of this city,
county and state. The record of that
convention weue kept by Secretary Max
Pohl. n good a democrat as any in the
land.
Mayor Herman Wise, of this city,
leading democrat, was made permanent
chairman of the convention and the
first important business of the conven
tion was the appointing of a committee
on platform which was done by the
naming of Messrs. J. K. ftratke. 11. F.
Allen, C. F. McDermott, C. K. Lancaster,
ami H. M. Lorentson. each and all
simon-pure democrats.
At the evening session Chairman
Wise (democrat), named Bert Ross
(Democrat), as assistant secretary and
Olaf Anderson (democrat), W. C. Lo
tan (democrat), and Robert Wherry
(democrat), a tellers for the session.
The "Citizens' " convention thus clev
erly man-handled in favor of the demo
crats, then proceeded to nominate:
H. L. Henderson, for state senator, a
democrat of the democrats;
O. I. Peterson for county judge, a
leading democrat, and an ex-employe in
the custom house, under Grover Cleve
land; Geo. Morton, for the legislature, a
democrat, if there is one; democratic
candidate for sheriff two years ago and
defeated;
C. J. Trenchard, for the legislature,
democrat (who subsequently re-nigged
and is now running as a straight demo
crat for the county judgeship) ;
J. V. Burns, for sheriff, than whom
there is no more certain democrat, and
a democratic ex-member of the state
legislature from this county;
R, R. Wallace, for treasurer, an
other democrat, declared, and registered;
C. C. Utzinger, for justice of the
peace, an undeviating democrat.
Joseph Bartoldus, for commissioner,
still another democrat;
W. C. A. Pohl, for coroner, a life-long
democrat;
And, upon motion of the democratic
city attorney, A. M. Smith, the
"Citizens'" convention unanimously en
dorsed the nomination of the king of the
Oregon democracy, George E. Chamber
lain, for governor.
As a sop to the old traditions of the
Citizens' movement in its early organic
days, the county surveyorship was ten
dered to G. L. Parker (Republican), who
has never even acknowledged the dis
tinction, much less accepted it.
Not a word of this is written in a
reproachful sense to these democrats, as
such; they took the goods the "Gods
provided," quietly aided by their own
adroit political manipulation and the
tendencies of the convention. But it U
written to show the color and character
of the so-called "Citizens'" party of
Astoria and Clatsop; and "he who runs
may read" the pertinent and perfect
truth of the whole situation.

PAST AND FUTURE.
The demand of the hour upon the R
publicans of Oregon is for the future;
the past is, or should be, done with,
with all it3 blunders its bickerings, its
mistakes, its jealousies. The immediate
future commands the first and fullest
devotion of every Republican in the
state; home factions and the animus
behind them are contemptibly small be
side the larger and more crucial inter
ests of the whole party; the stake
overshadows all petty, personal issues
and interest, and the redemption of the
state to Rppuldican trusteeship is the
one living issue involving the good
faith of every man who calls himself a
Republican. He has a superb ticket to
enlist his ardor, his pride and his inde
fatigable effort. The opposition offers
nothing of distinguishable moment, in
contravention of the men and policies
declared for by the Republicans of Ore
gon, and nothing short of partisan
treachery and a selfishness, that over
rides the best dictates of honest Repub
licanism, can account for any lapse
from the program. What is true in
state matters, is equally true in the
counties. . The time is at hand for the
abandonment of all factional purposes
and the assumption of the bigger and
broader obligation to the party as
such. It is not a question of men, for
the men who are standing for the true
Republican spirit and ideals of the party
in Oregon, are simply flawless, and
their election, from governor down, is
the supremo test that shall tell the
story of party loyalty, or of party dis
honor. The question of the hour is
answerable in one way only, by the
custiug of an enormous majority vote
in favor of the Republican nominees on
the fourth of .lime. Anything less than
this must put the banner Republican
strttc of the West upon the "doubtful"
list; and once thetv, the process of
political diintegition is well afoot.

A Cat Dilemma.
A babu In charge of the documents
of a certain town In India found that
they were being seriously damaged by
rata. He wrote to the government to
provide him witJh weekly rations for
two cats to destroy the rats. The re
quest was granted, and the two cats
were Installed, one, the larger of the
two, receiving slightly better rations
than the other. All went well for a
few weeks, when the supreme govern
ment of India received the following
dispatch: "I have the honor to Inform
you that the senior cat Is absent with
out leave. What shall I do?" The
problem seemed to baffle the supreme
government, for the babu receive! no
answer. After waiting a few days be
ent off a proposal: "In re absentee
cat I propose to promote the Junior
cat and In the meantime to take Into
government service a probationer cat
on full rations." The supreme govern
ment expressed Its approval of the
cheme, and things once more ran
smoothly In that department.
Heatlnic Building.
There Is ample evidence to prove
that the rational heating of buildings
was a well understood art severnl thou
sand years ago. In the palmy days of
Pompeii's early existence, before Its
burial under volcanic ashes, the old
Soman baths In that town were heated
by steam and In a better and far more
scientific manner than is followed at
the present time. The walls of the
buildings were double, and the steam,
it atmospheric pressure, no doubt, was
carried up through these walls all
around the rooms to be warmed, bring
ing them to a temperature approximat
ing that of the steam, and the occu
pants of the room were thus exposed
to a radiation of warmth from all di
rections. In this we have the true tho
017 of beating.

LACE IS PARAMOUNT.
It Is quite a fud to have the sleeves

lace ruffles that were so tremendously
popular.
Ou the smartest lingerie blouses ap

These motifs give the whole design uu
eflect of light and shading that Is ex

Fringes and buttons play au impor

Buttons are small, und fringes are
heavy, but no doubt this order of things
will be reversed before hmg. Just now
freaks of fashion ure numerous, for
many trial trips are being made ou
the field of dress.
Velvet rlbljoiiB are a favorite trim
