Knowing that fits -position politically
was in some doubt since the curious in
terview alleged to have been held be
tween himself and an Oregonian re
perter, a Chronicle representative
called upon him at the Umatilla Honse.
"Will you take a part in the cam
paign this year?'' began the reporter.
"I will," replied Mr. Ellis. "I have
offered my services at state Republican
headquarters, and will be ready to go
on the stump as soon as the campaign
opens. I would prefer to be assigned in
my own district, but will go wherever
in the judgment of the committee I am
needed."
'The general impression among the
people of the state ib that you favor the
silver side of the question?"
"Oh, not wholly," with a deprecating
gesture. "I have been friendly to both
metals, and should like to see , the larg
est use of both consistent with keeping
up the parity. I am not one of that
number who believe that great dis
order is to follow, the financial issue,
no' matter which way it is settled.
Whatever may be the result of the elec
tion I do not believe we shall have any
great panic or commotion. I think Mc
Kinley will be elected and that the fight
is going to be settled along 'Republican
lines, and I do not think the financial
plank is the most important. There are
several others ahead of that. I believe
the tariff plank is paramount to all
others. ' Then the old established Re
publican principle of restriction of
foreign immigration is of more import
ance than the financial plank. There
are several that in my judgment come
ahead of that one." "
Mr. Ellis will remain in the city till
tomorrow afternoon. In the . morning
he will receive the applicants for mili
tary examination.

The sliding mountain just below the
Upper Cascades is one of the wonders of
the Western world. It has the slides
this year worse than usual, and its
movement has rendered necessary the
relocation of the O. R. & N. Co.'s rail
way for a distance of some 1200 feet
Tne new line will be moved some sixty
feet back, and will be eighteen feet
higher than the present line, which has
gone away below grade, owing to the
sinking and sliding of the land. The
railroad engineers have become so ac
customed to the antics of this sliding
mountain that they just let it elide, and
when it gets the track too far down
they move it np again. Oregonian.
