"fort tq Oust HlnTls Successful.
Whether tha land fraud eases of Ore
gon will be brought to a successful con
clusion or not seems to rest with th
confirmation or rejection of W. C. Bris

trict attorney by tha senate, In that, it
is conceded by those who are acquainted
with the affair, that the . Work being
conducted - by th government in - th
prosecution of meq who have been fob
bing . the country of its publlo lands,
will be apt to: cease If the effort to oust
Bristol Is- successful..
It la well known that Peiialur Fulton'.
whose opposition Is the obstacle In the
way of Bristol's confirmation., has not
been In sympathy with the land fraud
prosecutions. .
Although Mr. Bristol .refuses toapehk
of ths affair hla frUrxl assert that
he will not take a confirmation with
a atring attached to it Th dispatch
from Washington in tha past few days
have stated that Briatol's appointment
may be confirmed by the aenate on tha
condition that he step out of office after
th conclusion of the land fraud cases!
Coupled with this is th statement that
it Is expected In Washington that all of
these cases will be concluded by next
December. There is strong reason to be
lieve that Bristol would refuae to en
tertain such a proposition,. If It were
mad to him, and 'that ha will either
demand full confirmation or that the
senate either affirm or decline to ap
point . htm, leaving tha field open to
whomsoever the Oregon senator-wish
to Install In office.

and has plaoed it upon a question of

publlo good. He has at all times refused
to discuss the situation for publication,
declaring that-the publlo should decide
the. case upon the merits and in view
of th work to be done and that accom
plished already. - It will cause no sur
prise If Bristol should maks th next
decisive move and demand that Imme
diate action be taken which will decide
whether ha -will continue in office or

Tb reported agreement of Senator
Bourne with Senator Fulton does not
find much credenc 'among - Bristol's
friends, though- they concede that Ful
ton la probably-working wires In such
a way that should th matter go over
until December he will have ample .time
In which to effect an alliance - with
