In this The Journal thinks Mr.
Cake la making a mistake similar to
that made by Senator Fulton when
he, too, said he , took neither .Bide,
had no advice to give, no opinion to
express. Mr.i Cake then, took the
right side, expressed an opinion, gave
cdvice, urged certain action. The
people were not offended at that, but
liked it, and nominated him. But
what will they think of his throwing

Indorsement by the people at voting

Washington authorities do not give

all history, was to be had for the

privilege of Importance to the people

one with which Portland people and
Oregon people would have been de

honor of infinitely greater Import

all over the world has been or will be
heralded the news of the fleet's visit
to California ports, to Washington

oriental ports, but In no language nor
tongue will It be told that Oregon re
ceived a visit, even from a single bat

With anchors weighed, bannem fly

fleet, will sail by Oregon as an in
hospitable shore, will steam past the
mouth of the mighty Columbia, from
which is carried more wheat than
from any other port on the coast, and
nearly as much as from any port on
