A VERY WEAK BLUFF.
Teller and his Rocky mountain
bushwhackers declare, says the Tele
gram, that they expect 10 carry at
least five states out of the St. Louis
convention with them, and are very
hopeful that the leader of their bolt
will be nominated by the Democratic
convention at Chicago. This dec
laration is a pitiful expose of the
-weakness of the silverite cause at St,
Xiouis. As a menace it is pathetic
The five states referred to are Col
orado, Utah, Idaho, Nevada and
Montana. Their total strength in
the electoral college is sixteen votes,
or less than half of the thirty-six ap
portioned to New York. The party
that opposes sound money is certain
to lose New York, so it is seen that
the Teller "bluff" is a weakling.
And if the silver wing of the Demo
cratic party absorbs the Tcllerites, so
ranch the better it will be for the
sound money cause. With gold or
silver the issue, and the forces pitted
against each other on the two tick
ets, instead of a triangular fight, it
is assumed that the Republicans,
with an anti-silver platform, would
be able to carry nineteen states, giv
ing a total of 205 votes, and the
free-silver Democrats 140, having
only to win from 102 votes in doubt,
In these are included twenty-four
from Illinois and fifteen Indiana,
where silver is an uncertain quantity,
and the revolt of gold men may be
such as to give the Republicans a
victory. In Kentucky, Tennessee
and Virginia the Republican leaders
Relieve they have a lighting chance.
Theiefore it is difficult to see how
the Tcllerites can possibly hope to
intimidate the sound-money-uiajority
at St Louis. .
But the Chicago convention will
not nominate Teller or any other
Republican bolter. There are too
many carefully nurtured presiden
tial booms within the. Democratic
free-coinage camp to allow any such
move as that. The Blands and the
Bryans and the Blackburns and the
Boieses and the other busy B's will
hardly step aside and permit a dis
gruntled Republican to walk off w ith
the prize valueless though it is
for whose possession they have been
laying pipe and stretching wires for
years. Not if they know themselves.

Editor Cheokicle: As all the citi-
zens of Wasco county take and read
Thk Chronicle (if they don't they
ought to) it will save me the time and
work of writing many letters by writing
a brief item to you.
Four days and fourteen hoars of
pleasant and not fatiguing traveling
passed me from The Dalles to Washing
ton, Illinois, a quicker trip than I made
forty-four .rears ago with an ox-team ;
and instead of meeting on the route
sage brush, wild, Bavage Indians and
buffalo by the thousand, I now find
cities with macadamized streets, fine
brick buildings, three, four and 'five
stories high, and with populations vary
ing from a few hundred to 106,000,
which latter figure is the population of
Denver, a city without an equal as to
order, beautiful streets and baildiDgs.
Spent four hours there, most of the timo
on street cars.
Have now spent four, days in Wash
ington, where I passed my boyhood
days. Found my sisters, who were the
object of my visit, but very few of my
boyhood associates. They have mostly
been transported across the dark river.
Great changes take place in forty-four
yeare.
It will be a satisfaction to the many
friends of Andrew Anderson to know
he stood the trip better than was ex
pected. I accompanied him to Topeka,
Kansas. '
' Of all that I have seen on this journey
of more than two thousand miles, as to
climate, scenery, manners and customs
of the people, etc., Oregon for . me,
Yours "Very Truly.

New York is beginning to realize
it is net the controlling force1 in na
tional . conventions as of yore. The
"Middle West is in the saddle and
will name the candidate. One of
the good results of this transfer ot
power will be that New York's local
political squabbles cannot be foisted
upon the nation as has been done in
previous conventions.
There is a great deal of agitation
going on at St Louis as to whether
or not the word "gold" should ap
pear in the Republican platform.
"We see little need for much time to
oe spent over any choice of words.
Since the convention must declare
for sound money, based upon a sin
gle standard and that standard gold,
why not be a9 honest in phrasing as
it pretends to be in conviction.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there 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
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Care is taken internally acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the fonn
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have 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
