ToH. W. Gilpin, R. H. Darnielle and
Many Others:
In accepting the nomination for joint
representative, which you have tendered
me in the regular manner provided by
law, permit me to say that I appreciate
the honor thus conferred upon me.
I stand upon the following platform:
"Let the people rule. Turn down the
bosses.
I am opposed to sending any man to
the United States senate who cares more
for the interests of the money power
than for the welfare of the common peo
ple. I will, therefore, not vote for any
man for United States senator who
would fasten upon this country a single
gold standard. James G. Blaine said :
"I believe the struggle now going on in
this country and in other countries for a
single gold standard would, if successful,
produce widespread disaster in the end
throughout the world." The people of
Oregon, beyond a doubt, think that Mr.
Blaine was right when he said,: "The
responsibility of re-establishing silver in
its ancient and honorable place as money
in Europe and America devolves really
on the congress of the United states.
If we act here with prudence, wisdom
and firmness, we shall not only success
fully re-monetize silver and bring it into
general use as money in our country,
but the influence of our example will be
potential among all European nations,
with the possible exception of Eng
land."
We want men in congress who can be
depended upon to stand for the interests
of this country, and whom even British
gold cannot buy. Hon. John H. Mitch
ell having shown himself to be such a
man, I will, if given a seat in the next
egislature, cast my vote for John H.
itcbell for United States senator.

peace. He dwelt also upon the financial
question, declaring against free . silver
and denouncing it aa repudiation. He
struck a popular chord in denouncing
the Oreonian, staling the facts about
its suppressing the news, when such
news would bo prejudicial to the Ore
gonian's political schemes and interests,
and cited in support of the claim that
Senator Mitchell had secured an appro
priation of $450,000 for rivers and hai
bore, which the Oregonian did not allow
a place in its news columns. The Re
publican platform of 1894 was written
by Harvey Scott himself, reaffirming the
platform of 1892 which declared for ti
metallism. Now ' Scott attacks that
platform and declares a new B9t of prin
ciples of which Mr. Northrnp is the ex
ponent. He urged the Republicans to
stand by Ellis, and read a telegram from
that gentleman, pledging ' himself to
stand by the St. Louis platform, what
ever that shall be.

principles of the Republican party,
