ELECTION FRAUDS.
:.... . ,4 . . .
THE ELECTION IN Denver
-not long ago afforded an ex-
, rtreme example of a common
occurrence, the apparent or; official
defeat of the great majority of the
people by an organized and criminal
. gang of corporation looters, in corn
; bination with the city's most vicious
elements. The election was a stolen
openly, insolentlyr defiantly r-with
- scarcely ' a pretense at "concealment
. There was bribery, illegal voting by
the wholesale, , and false counting,
and the ballot thieves asked: What
are yon fool people going to do
Li!?
. The Denver Honest Election league
"set"ab6ut"nunifythglh(e declared te
. suit, of the election-through the
courts, but was ' hampered, by the
fact that the prosecuting officer was
not. to be depended upon, and was
-atrpposed to have been bought by
the thieves. On this representation,
and perhaps assuming judicial know!
" edge-otv the -fact" Judge" Mulline" of
the criminal court promptly removed
the prosecuting attorney, so far as
all the election fraud cases were con
cemed, and administered a atinging
rebuke to that officer. He also an
nounced that, not being satisfied with
the conduct of the sheriff and his
deputies in t.lje matter of summoning
jurors, he would deprive the ..sheriff
of that duty. , f'
". It is not supposed that the supreme
court of Colorado, which has evinced
a strong judicial de"sireto"givethe
thieves the benefit of every legal
doubt and technicality, will, austain
Judge Mullins in these acts, but un
der the circumstances,' and with the
criminal acts by the wholesale known
to everybody and denied by nobody,
a court oL white ver.. degree that -will
not strain the strict letter of the law
a little if necessary to afford relief to
the robbed people, rather than to aid
the thieves, is not only entitled ' to
no respect, but is beneath contempt
, . Elections in Portland have gained
greatly in freedom from fraud during
the past few years, and It is now ex
ceptional and remarkable, instead of
improbable or impossible as formerly,
' if the people" do noFget a square deal
at the polls. . As a rule, w'e believe,
only honest ballots are cast, and th'at
they are honestly counted; but. it
j. seems . that evidence will: be . forth
coming to show that such- was not
the case in some instances," notably
in Sell wood precinct, in the last elec
tion. Current reports of fraudulent
jyotingherc are so persistent and
circumstantial that a thorough . of
ficial investigation is generally de
manded, and must be made. '
.' Opponents of the local option law
were overwhelmingly defeated arm the
state, on their amendment," and they
must not be permitted to win by
fraud what the people .have denied
them, not even in a 'single instance
such as the Sellwood precinct; though
1 "The Oaks" should go dry all sum
mer and thereafter.., -m
JWn e th e rw tjoodsa r dispf ins ed
at "The Oaks" or not is a minor
question; an honest,, pure ballot, that

.they must and will have. .
THE CRY OFSTOP THIEF,
- r F H E I iqtiof de4ewt-organ-om-i
plains most bitterly that the
" citizens of Portland are no
longer in possession of "all the frsn-
thisesJLwJiich in "former times they
have given away." It is" a regret
vtortb entertaining, but not on the
part of the organ," for the reason that
it has existed and "done. buines"
here during-all the time the fran
r hier were given away, and, although
it had opportunity to protest against
this "robbery of the people," it kept
silence with always a hope upper
most that it would secure a "piece of
the pork," and it has never failed to
-share in any ditieioa of profit , , , ..
Further, in the same connection its
proprietors have gathered "unearned
increment" in other forms without
any, stricture of Conscience untjl- they
havtVecome rich, almost bayond thetheheada-df-taiU process, Th ea
dreams of avarice, and yet are n a
howling mood 'for a further division,
The principal proprietor of the or
gan owna a block of land, bounded
by Washington, West Park, Stark
and Tenth streets, which he obtained
for little or nothing, something like
$500, and of late he has refused an
offer of more than $400,000 for if.
Here is an absorption of value, the
same kind of value as that possessed
by the franchises referred to, a, value
which as much belongs to the. com
munity, . without even a thought r of
the "robbery" he is a party to, and
I thie-value he holde-ontd without ren
dering a tittle of service to the-com
munity. 'And further, he will neither
improve it nor allow others to do so,
whileair thetime " permitting "his
newspaper' to cry '"stop thief"at
others . Vho have . legally possessed
themselves -ot similar -t value -or
property ,. . '....P ' "
It all depends upon whose ox is
gored whether or not the liquor
dealers' organ is in for "reform."
AN UNSEASONABLE BOOM;
rpHE SINCERE FRIENDS of
T I Mr Bryan, those who really

should go slow, in booming him-thus
early, and should advise him to re
main comparatively quiet for another
year . 6r- two. t Not necessarily that
he would be indiscreet, but people
would become weary of a two-years'
boom, with nothing but' "Bryan all

in the excitement of the hour was
considered a great feat, and he is in
consequence the highest naval officer,
after the president; yet from a Dewey

to be delivered. Beside he" is not
a public officer of any degree, only
a private citizen, and, though a noted
one,' there is no occasion for his
recipiency of great public demonstra

It is two years yet before a nom
ination-ia to he mader and it j peril
ous to launch a- political rocket too
soon. Its flaming head, even though
a splendid Bryan, has too much time
forx sputtering - out; and - its stick,
though of the best of materjal, to
come tumbling back ignobly to earth.
Bryan's friends should bid htm be
ware the noxious activity of hysteri
cal boomers, no less than the pe
nicious pretended friendship of deadly
enemies. , Racea are won, hot in the
first quarter; but in the home stretch,
and the track is not even graded nor
the grandstand erected yet
While letting politics pretty much
alone for two years past, Mr. Bryan
has . grown . immensely in popular
favor. Why-nofr-maintain-that-atti
tude for another. year or more? Peo
ple know him, need no introduction
to him. If he must talk, let him
lecture on any subject except poli
tics, or on that in only the most
general terms; "
. A ''masterly inactivity," a dignified
receptivity, a statesmanlike reserve,
for the most part a private life on

will do more to make Mr. Bryan
president than all the "demonstra-
ions" that could be made in the next
18 months.
