Tub Chronicle feela a deep interest in
the re-election of Hon. Binger Hermann
in the first congressional district of Ore
gon, and shall be greatly disappointed
if he is not again chosen. In view of
his close sytnpatby with the mass of the
people, and his work in Washington for
their benefit, it would be a strange revo
lution, as well as the basest ingratitude,
If the people of his district were to set
him aside. One can never-be certain of
anything in politics. The surprises of
two years ago in Kansas wus enough to
shake all faith in' political predictions.
People sometimes become stampeVled, so
to speak, and the power of reflection
soems bereft. Even gratitude is blinded.
From what we can hear concerning cer
tain portious of the valley, Mr. Her
jraann may be elected by a phenomenal
majority, and he may be defeated.
Nothing would surprise us. The
caprices of the human mind
are sometimes beyond our ' own
-analysis. But the vote of Mr. Hermann
on the silver question; his consistent
record against monopoly and corpora
tion influences in legislation ; his record
on all matters affecting the agricultural
Interests, . whenever they have sought
national legislative aid, should commend
liim to the farmers of this state. His
attitude on the wool question should be
host satisfactory to alt wool growers.
His name has never been associated
with any scandals at the National capi
tol, or in any jobs or unclean legislation.
He has labored for one common end
the advancement and prosperity of all
parts of Oregon, and the honor of her
citizefts. We cannot, for one moment,
lelieve otherwise 'than thathe will be re
turned by a very large majority of the
votes of his constituency on Monday
next. We have too much faith in the
people to donbt the result. They have
always sustained Mr. Hermann; and we
Jfeel assured they will nowstand by him.
Chauncey M. Depew arrived in Chi
cago last night, and speaking of the
possibility of Blaine being a candidate,
he said Harrison was almost certain to
be the nominee of the convention, but
in case Blaine . was nominated and re
. fused, then Harrison could not be a can
didate for an office declined by the chief
officer of .his cabinet. The demoraliza
tion of such an event would spread all
over the country, and the party would
be defeated before the election began.
The inevitable and irresistible logic of
the situation is the nomination of Har
rison. The only chance to beat Harrison
is that the convention should . vote for
half a dozen favorite sons and prevent a
choice until his -opponents could concen-
xraie.ou someoouy. xae supreme euort
to induce Blaine to become a candidate
' has practically retired everybody but
'him, so that .unless Blaine allows his
name to be presented, Harrison will be
nominated by the potential force of his
record and friends, and by default of his
opponents. He said nothing could be
more suggestive of the difficulties of the
situation to the opponents of Harrison'
than the spectacle of 'practical politic
, ians like Piatt, Quay, Clarkson and
others, flirting with the ghost of C8ar
and the coffin of Mahomet. -
Recently a Chicago politician in pub
lic quoted the1cclaration of independ
ence as declaring that "all men are
created free and equal." This is a com
mon error, inexcusable at all times, but
in this instance reprehensible because
it was used as an argument to Drove
that the founders of the republic . know
ingly pronounced a falsehood. It would
have been absured for Thomas Jefferson
. and his slave-holding associates to de
clare that all men are Created free and
' equal. They merely said that "all men
are created equal." It was in the in
terest of civil rights for the colored men
in the. south that the speech referred, to
was delivered. .. Orators inclined to quote
the declaration of independence or, 'the
national constitution in demanding re
forms politic should be tolerablv exact.

HORRID BEDFELLOWS
TARANTULAS CRAWL. ALL OVER. A
! SLEEPING TRAVELER. .
.A Tired Camper Who Awoke One Morn
ing to Keel I'liiMiiiuai Keptile Ex
ploring Hi Anatomy, While Auotber
i Made a lied f the .tlan'a Upright Hair.
! Joseph (irandelmyer, a well known
fuming man of Nevada, . has passed
throngh many startling experiences dur
ing 'a residence of twenty-eight years in
the far west, but is perhaps the only
man who cati boast of having had a
round baker's dozen of deadly tarantulas
for bedfellows and surviving the terri
ble experience without material injury.
It happened a number of years ago, bnt
even now it causes cold shivers to chase
tip Mr. U-randelmyer's spinal column
,whnn his mind reverts to that particular
evvys However, surrounded by a cir
cle of friends at the Palace hotel a few
evenings since, he was induced to relate
the incident.
I Lu 1804 1 came to -San Francisco."
said the gentleman, and with the hope
fulness of youth determined to make my
fortune. 1 bad a little money saved up.
but was a raw tenderfoot, and whatever
I put my money into failed to pan out.
Finally 1 concluded to strike out for Ne
vada, it was a new section of ' country
.then, that had been explored to a very
limited extent, and when 1 made known
my intention many and urgent were the
requests for me to -refrain from being so
foolish as to encounter dangers in such
a wild and almost unknown country.
'Nothing daunted, however, and not
allowing myself to be dissuaded from
my purpose, one day in the summer of
1864. after inducing three acquaintances
to join me, I set out for the land of sage
brush.. My particular object in going
was to better my fortune by any method
I could. Two of the party were pros
pectors, and the "-fourth, a Err. Heath,
went along to spy out a' good location
for a hog ranch.
"Well, after crossing the" Sierras at
Walker's pass, . we found ourselves in
Owen's valley, which is now in Inyo
ttonnty. Dusk was approaching, and
'when, after riding a distance in the
teeth of a cold wind, we found onrselves
at a deserted adobe hut by tbe roadside
we halted, unpacked and unsaddled our
animals, and prepared to camp for the
night.
A TKRU1BLE AWAK'EKING.
There was feed for the horses in abun
dance, and while one staked them out
lue others began preparations for supper
and made the beds ready. My friends
preferred sleeping under a large oak tree
near, but 1 chose a spot adjoining the
old adobe bouRe. where 1 spread tny
blankets close to the wall where the
wind would not reach me. After a hasty
meal we all retired to our respective beds
on the ground and readily dropped off to
sleep.
1 presume it was within an uonrbf
daybreak when 1 awoke with a sudden
start. A peculiarly dreadful- feeling,
worse than any nightmare, took posses
sion of me. 1 felt paralyzed and was
afraid to stir. Thore was something
moving on my face. It was not a large
'object, bnt as it moved about the trail
left seemed to scorch my face. 1' felt
the thing traverse my face from the left
eye down " over my nose and mouth.
Then it crossed to the other side and ex
plored in the region of my ear. Then it
was gone.
, "l knew it was not a snake gliding
over my face. but. some animal much
mnaller, though what it was i was utter--iy
unable to conjecture. I was wide
awake, of course, but snch an uncom
fortable horror held me fast that I was
unable to move a muscle and gazed help
lessly up at the- stars. . Once A tried to
call out to my companions, but not a
sound could 1 muster. , 1 lay there rigid
us a log. maybe for one minute, maybe
for five, when I again knew that the
same thing, or something like it, was on
iny hand, which rested outside the blan
ket, and a cold chill ran up ray arm and
through my whole body. Still 1 was
absolutely powerless to' move a limb, and
involuntarily closed my eyes, almost ex
pecting "to feel them closed in death, so
dreadful and indescribable was the sen
sation. - . -
A HORRIBLE SUSPENSE.. '
"Next 1 knew 'it was climbing up
over my throat, then . to my chin and
aoont my nose. An irresistible impulse
caused me to open my right eye, and 1
saw by the dim light the fiery eyes of a
big tarantula looking into mine, with
its hairy body cm my face, not two inches
away!
"Knowing that death or at least pain
ful injury might result if 1 moved my
body, 1 immediately dropped the eyelid
and had the satisfaction of feeling the
sprawling spider crawl over that eye to
my forehead and into my hair, where it
prepared a nest and finally settled down, .
no donbt as snugly as a bug in a rug.
,"ou may think you can imagine my
feelings, bnt you cannot. For .a full
half hour, 1 should -judge, I endured all
the suspense and. torment that comes to
most mortals in a lifetime, and allowed
another spider to slowly trawl np my
leg, not knowing at what time 1 would
feel those black fangs sink into my flesh.
"But, thank Gcd, that did not hap
pen, or 1 should probably not now be
alive.' Ages after that, so it seemed,
Dr. Heath arose, and, after dressing,
came to see if 1 was awake. 1 whis
pered to liim the particulars of my
plight, and in. my hai which had been
standing on end for 1 -don't know how
long, he discovered and at once killed
one of the tarantulas, an immense fel
'Iowj fully three inches long., Carefully
turning back,.the blankets and ' examin
ing me, he found twelve others that had
undoubtedly sought-"ray quarters for
.warmth.-' These ha quickly but quietly
dispatched in a manner not to alarm the
others, v When the strain was over I
jfainted " and was delirious with brain
fever for many days.- Since then, yon
'may . depend upon it, 1 have always
taken good care in the selection of a
camping spot, for of all the bedfellows
one can encounter one of the most terri
fying is a tarantula." San Francisco
Chronicle. - .
Rheumatism Cured in Three Days.
Miss Grace "Xattlejohn is a little girl,
aged eleven years, reeiding;in Baltimore,
Ohio.' Read what she says: "I .was
troubled with rheumatism for two years,
but could get nothing to do me any
good. - I was so helpless that I had to be
carried like a babe when I was advised
to get a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. . I got it from our druggists, Mr.
J. A. Kuniber, and ia three days I was
up and walking around. I have not felt
any return of it since and my limbs are
limber as they ever were." '50 cent bot

NEW TO-DAY.
TO THE PUBLIC. It having come
to our knowledge that a party in
The Dalles in selling lime has made the
assertion that be charges more for other
brands than the "Oregon" because they
are better,, thereby implying that the
"Oregon" is an inferior article, we desire
to state that the "Oregon" is the strong
est lime on the market ; that it will work
more plastic and leave the work when set
stronger and firmer than any other lime at
present manufactured in either Oregon
or Washington. Win. Butler& Co.TAgents
at The Dalles for the "Oregon" lime, are
instructedto furnish, free of charge, any
and all Oregon lime, which does not fully
come up to the stipulations above set
forth. The object of .this i notice is solely
to defend our goods against the false im
putations and statements of any person
whatsoever. The Or. Marble and Lime
