SATURDAY - SEPTEMBER 18, 1897
MR. GEER'S APPOINTMENT.
The Oregoniaii prints Hon. T. T.
Geer's letter declining the appoint
ment of register of the land office at
Oregon City. The letter is just such
an one as could be expected from
Tom Geer. It is manly, frank, open,
plain ; in fact, T. T. Geer himself.
The letter is, like Geer, "way above
the average," and yet. we regret its
writing and its publication. The
position offered Mr. Geer is a goo3
one, and it is unfortunate that it is
not so good as he deserves, for there
is no office in the gift of delegation
or people to which he might not as,
pire. And yet "there are others."
There are others whom the party '
must consider; and while Mr. Geer
is probably entitled to the best, he
should remember that all cannot be
satisfied.
We hope he will re-consider the
matter and withdraw bis refusal. He
ought to do it in his own interests
and for the benefit of the party. He
is placing himself in a peculiarly em
barrassing position, for he says by
hia action "My services are worth so
much." He measures himself and
fixes his stature high. "We realize
his merit and know that he is not
rating himself too high : but yet he
is, after all, setting a value upon
himself. The office is a good one,
that almost any man in the state
would be glad to get. Having only
the kindliest feelings toward Mr.
Geer, and a keen appreciation of his
valuable services to his party and the
country during the last campaign,
we sincerely hope that he may take
the teat at the table provided for
him, feeling sure that in the near
futue he will grace the head of the
board. ,
The Oregoniun, in indorsing his
declination, is not moved by friend
ship to him nor fealty to the Repub
ican party, and Mr. Geer, if he per
mits himself to be influenced by its
ideas, its theories or its prejudices,
will make tbe most serious mistake
of his life. We do not believe that
be has been sufficiently rewarded,
but it certainly is in bad taste for
him to make that assertion. We be-
lieve the delegation has done tbe
best it could to harmonize fdl inter
ests, and that every good Republican
should indorse its action.
We regret to see that Hon-. T. T.
Geer has announced his - intention of
not accepting the registership at the
Oregon City land office if tendered
him, as recommended by the Oregon
delegation ; and now that the presi
dent has appointed him, we are sorry
indeed of bis probable refuse to take
the place. It is very embarrassing
to the Oregon ' delegation not to be
ab'e to satisfy their friends after the
labored effort they have made to do
so. Mr. Geer's friends ought to be
willing to allow the sound money
Democrats some recognition for the
valuable service they rendered in
carrying the state for McKinley, and
the retention of T. J. Black in the
place thai Mr. Geer wants, is all they
asked. Their request, which is rea
sonable and right, should be granted.
There were large petitions from , dif
ferent parts of the state, signed by
leading Republicans, asking that the
sound money Democrats be recog
nized by the retention of Mr. Black
. as collector of customs. We should
not be unmindful of the value of
that patriotic vote or of how import
ant it might again be to the state.
This morning we received from
the Pendleton Wcolen Mills a fine
blanket of the variety known as
"Indian . robes..' It was a splendid
piece of work, reflecting credit on
the Pendleton mills, the weavers art
being rivaled by that of the dyer.
As we let our critical eye (we have
only one of that style) gather in the
beauties of texture and color, we
could not fail to draw the moral that
manufactured product presented
The Dalles should have been sending
blankets to the heathen instead of
receiving them, (our contemporary
got one) and the money expended
in their manufacture should have
gone to Dalles people. We can't
have the Pendleton mills, of . course,
but we can have, and should have,
others iust as good. Pendleton has
taken advantage of the opportunities
The Dalles has neglected, and as a
result is rushing to the front, with all
seats reserved, while we loaf idly into
the "Nigger heaven."
We appreciate our neighboring
town's enterprise, and we hope that
her blankets may cover a multitude
of sins, beside? those of our contem
porary.
