A LOST OPPORTUNITY.
Through all its years of blunder
ing stupidity the Democratic party
never made a greater mistake than
in declaring for free silver as it did
at the Portland convention. The
. course of the Republicans in nomin
ating Ellis, a free silver man, had
given to the Democrats an opportu
nity such as seldom comes. The
majority of voters in the Second dis
trict is opposed to the financial views
held by Mr. Ellis, and had it not been
for the factional tight in Multnomah
county, he would have polled but
few votes in the convention. His
nomination was due to circum
stances extraordinary in their na
ture, and which overturned all cal
culations previously made.
Had the Democrats noted the feel
ing existing in Republican ranks at
the triumph of the free silver can
didate, and come to the front with a
sound money platform, honest in
statement and belief, it is by no
means sure but that enough sound
money Republicans would have
voted for the Democratic candidate
to have insured his election.
But blindness prevailed, and the
Democrats fell into the ditch, leav
ing their opponents upon the brink.
Their action has destroyed any hope
of success in the coming campaign,
and, wrapped up in the free silver
delusion, they will suffer a repetition
of former defeats.
From a Republican standpoint, in
the light 6f party advantage, the
action of the Democrats is all that
could be desired. Viewing the situ
ation from - higher ground, it is'dis
appointing that a body of intelligent
men should declare their belief in a
policy which by history and reason
is proved to be ruinous.
The Republican party can well
feel thankful for the magnanimity of
their opponents. It would have
been embarassing in the extreme
had the Democrats declared for
sound money and nominated a can
didate with views in accordance with
such a platform. a But now the two
candidates are alike in their beliefs
upon the coinage -question, while the
Republican nominee has the advan
tage which his tariff views afford
him,
"While the Republican state plat
form does not in so many words de
clare in fav'cr of the gold standard,
it is far from expressing favor for
the free coinage of silver. The
platform as adopted will meet with
general approval, though had the
action of the New York convention
been followed, and a, similar plank
adopted, the party would be less
open to the charge of equivocation.
However, outside of states repre
sented by the senators who held up
the tariff bill, the sentiment of Re
publican leaders is in favor of sound
money, and this ' is obtainable only
by refusing to coin silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1. The Republican
party is against the free coinage of
silver, and when restored to power
will place our coinage on a firm
basis. We think that, outside of a
small number who ' are needlessly
alarmed because everyone- does not
believe as they do, the Republican
platform will commend itself.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that' there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its, stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient Btrength by building op tbe con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors nave so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails ' to cure. Send for list of

to know what a eplended medicine it is :
'"It is with pleasure 1 tell you that by

cold. My head was completely stopped

recommend this remedy." A cold nearly

cold at once and prevent it from extend
