RIDICULE AND ABUSE OF
HARVEY W. 8COTT
The New Dally Paper, "The Journal,"
and Those Behind It, Said to be
Subsidized by the Simon Machine;
Democrats Have Living Chance;
Dark Horse Named Cake.
Portland, March 9. Special Corres
pondence to the East Oregonlan.
Thus early fully five months nbo
fore the tlmq when things politically
will Indeed, "warm up" around
pointB where politicians from all sides
most do congregate a spectacular
feature has been Introduced Into the
Oregon campaign, the like of which
has never been equaled: It Is ,a fea
ture which possesses much -humor.
The reeking metropolis is enduring
an overdose of premature politics
conducted In the cartoon press, newly
denominated.
There arc no able weokly journals
in this town of sufficient rcspectabil
ity, backing or brains to command
respectful attention. ,Now It is ob
served that what the editors of the
six-by-nines fail to accomplish with
their prolific pens they are hiring cor
toonlsts to do for them' and the
town Is holding its sides, figuratively
speaking, over the deluge of spiteful
caricatures given currency each
week. The Oregonian's cartoon
ist is not in it. The il
lustrated weeklies produced have
never sold so well before, never has
tho field been so inviting and never
were the weeklies more numerous.
A month ago the rage got its start
through. the introduction to the pub
lic of a small sheet named "Pace."
After volume 1, number 1, was issu
ed and quickly consumed, despite MS
fair promises of something novel and
interesting, it came no more. Its
backer got cold feet at tho same time
he got a faint heart. "Pace" was
bullded on humorous, Independent
lines and was designed to have fun
with Oregon statesmen at large. Im
itators filled the field. After the end
of "Pace," the Portland "Bee" began
to buzz. One of its backers was
John F. Cordray, who, having made
a winning in the theatrical business
after years of struggling, bighed for
journalistic experiences.
The "Bee" was fearfully and won
derfully conceived and worked its
stinger - overtime while itB honey
doled out was not of the quality to in
duce people to pay for -it. Amateur
sketch artists from Tillamook to
Silverton were encouraged to come
out of their retreats and the result
has been something trying to a man
of taste. N
The "Bee" gave the other weeklies
a scare and then died. It was suc
ceded by the Hornet more sting
geree and less honey, H. S. Harcourt
being the man. behind the stinger.
The "Hornet" carries for Charles
Fulton, he of Astoria, with aspira
tions largely toward the senatorship.
Already in the field were the "Lan
tern," with a modest pose toward
virtue, in search of graft and except
ing nothing in that line, from the min
eral water sold by a gambling house
to legal notices. Then there was
"Town Topics," Dick Clinton's per
sonal palaver of weekly appearance.
Suddenly they made a rush to get re
dlculous sketches. After that come
Dunham & White's "Chronicle,"
which has hung on to life the past
few years with the tenacity of one in
ten thousand, and yelled lustily, whila
there was a semblance of life in its
forms, for the eminently honorable
Mr. Corbett. Revived two years ago
as a tariff quotation sheet, the Chron
icle has since been making a bid for
some patrons on account of a, trying
amount of service for the G. O. P.
cause. Every one of these sheets
and particularly the latter has been
loading the news-stands with car
toons reflecting every phase of the
political situation. Harvey W. Scott,
owing to his alleged alignment with
the Mitchell party of republicans, is
the brunt of most of the spirited pic
torial work. For the first time in the
history of Portland the brainy man in
tho tower is the object of as bitter
cartooning as over Hanna was by
Davenport. The "Chronicle has been
employing a man who has won recog-

nition in the large cities as a clover
man and he haB portrayed Mr. Scott
in startling guises, from that of a
shouter throwing wool in the faces
of the people to a jelly-fish with a
grip on all sorts of graft. The ground
work for this prolonged attack on the
'subject from the "Chronicle" Is the
attack made by the Oregonlan on one
of Senator Simon's county officials.
The public, one may be sure, is huge-)
ly enjoying the fun because In char
acterization of the foibles of a great
local man he who chooses may run as j
he reads. Instead of so many-wordy
nuffs on the one side and refutations
and charges and counter charges of
corruptions on the other the warsome
scandal is now expressed in an aston
ishing series of pictures which Mr.
Scott cannot be enjoying. In fact he
is suffering from the ridicule. It Is
a malady never before experienced
by him.
The New Paper, "The Journal."
The new paper, the "Journal," has
succeeded in impressing a number of
people with its importance, which is
rated better and higher than several
of tho previoius enterprises of the
sort. And everyone knows, that of
new paper enterprises Portland has
certainly had her double allowance.
The "Journal," It is understood,
will bo subsidized by the Simon peo
ple at the rate of from $1000 to $2000
a month. While professedly Inde
pendent in politics, at the same time
this is too well understood to require
explanation among those who are on
to tho ropes. The "Journal" is an
nounced to appear March 10. Ma
chinery for a perfecting press is be;
ing put into -position in the base
ment of the Goodnough building on
Yamhill street and the shop will run
four linotypes so there appears to
be something dojng In tho way of
contracting obligations.

Busy Around Democratic Quarters.
Things are getting busy around the
democratic headquarters. There is
no doubt hut that George E, Cham
berlain will get the nomination for
the governorship. This much is con
ceded. The policy of the democrats
will be to steer clear of all flirtations
combinations and to run Independent.
In every county. Whereas, before tho
democrats made a bid for the local
offices In the county this time they
will make their best attempt to get
Into the legislature. J. K. Smith, of
Astoria, will certainly be honored
with the nomination for senator and
he earnestly desires the distinction.
By taking a good moral brace anil
sticking to their colors, It Is bollcved
thnt the stalwart old party's chances
for a hold on the legislativo seats, and
some of the Important offices In Mult
