His presentation of his cause was at tractive. He made no enemies, and Iriends rushed to his support with in creased vigor as he passed over and through the state. He proved himself , competent to fill the high office of governor and the disaffection among the republicans grew with the pass ing of each day until the verdict at the polls was rendered. The attitude of the republican press toward the men and issues in the campaign weakened instead of strengthened the republican cause. ft At 1 1 .11.3 i I TlAHtx.

Democrats are not in a position to crow any more than a large number of republicans who just now are as silent as they have been throughout the contest ju3t closed. SYLVESTER PENNOYER. Sylvester Pennoyer was a demo crat. He lived and died one. He lived quietly, without display; he died peacefully, without trouble to any one. He believoi in doing everything possible for one's self. He disliked the master and servant Idea; he opposed the master and Blave condition, in short he believed In free men; the maximum of liberty and the minimum of restraint to the individual. Sylvester Pennoyer, as a democrat should, believed In self-government, In government by the people, in the rule of the many against that of the lew. He was ever faithful to the cause of free men. He may have been in consistent at times, but he soon returned to his general course and steered straight for the goal of equality, where every man, irrespec tive of race or creed, was to have justice done him. Sylvester Pennoyer was a forceful man, but ever respectful to his op iwnents and their opinions. He stood close to his Tellovis and had utmost confidence In them and they in him. His cheery word and pleas ant smile were for every one. The coin he passed out was returned to William Pennoyer's brother Robert. Since that time for mo 9 than two centuries has that 40 pounds per an num been sent to the enhege, wltn out a single failure. In 1855 young Pennoyer came to Oregon, having journeyed to San Francisco by way of Kicarugua, thence to Puget Sound by the bark Leonesa, and from there to Portland paddling down the Cow'Uz river in J an Indian canoe and taking a Colum river steamer at its mouth. He was admitted to the bar by thei Supreme court, consisting of Judges Williams, Olney and Deady, but never practiced here. He taught school for a time, and m 1862 he en gaged in the lumber business. He was long succesful, founding a large concern, which up to 1890 that a fine new mill was built, then the largest in the city. Ko sooner was the new mill complet ed than Pennoyer, with characteris tic eccentricity, decided that he would not operate it, Lolding that under the gold standard he could not make it pay. Other mills sprang up around it, took the business that threw away, and flourished, but still the governor remained firm, and even refused a number of flattering offers for the plant. Three years ago he de cided to allow the controlling inter est to pass out of his hands and the mill is now cutting many thousand feet of lumber per day. The governor was married the f-year following his arrival to Mrs. Mary A. Allen and of the five child horn to him Mrs. Russell is the sole survivor. some of them with nothing more sub-i stantial and no less hopeful than his; cneery smile and pleasant word, and ! to his family the priceless possession j of an honored name and the fond re- collection of a faithful bean. ! Governor Pennoyer was a man of integrity of life and blameless habit. His intellectual makeup was one of exceeding vigor, yet so peculiar as to pass at times into the realm of the eccentric. It would not ve violat ing the truth to say tha: he permit ted himself to becoruc infatuate! with certain notions, which were, if ! not altogether errop":;:i, at least grotesquely distorted from their Jruel significance. These hallucinations, which pertained chiefly to tho func tions of the courts, the "sov-.'reign-Ity" of the states and the nature of money he pursued as steadfastly as faithfu'.'.y as he did of upright private life from which he never swerved. His weakness in this and other ways made him the prey of evil men as well as of falacious theories. Ko one believed that the silver craze In Oregon to which Governor Pennoyer mightily contributed, or the corrupt police regime that flourished under his administration as mayor of Port land, grew out of anything unsound or corrupt in his heart. He .was im posed upon out of the goodness of his nature, which more wordly minds would have suspicioned and escaped. Mr. Penoyer's publi: record in, Oregon has been that of a man of j great force and of very great note.; He has done much good and would i have done much more if his oppor-1 tunities had been wider. Probably i "The sauare pec in the round hole" was so prosperous . figuratively expresses the use of means fino nM7 mill vas ' i A..:...A 1 . . many people who have been cured of dyspepsia and other diseases of the stom ach and its allied organs of digestion and nutrition by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery say: " We tried many medicines with only temporary benefit It was not until we began the use of Golden Medical Discovery ' that we , found a complete and lasting cure." It is undoubtedly true that Dr. Pierce's j Golden Medical Discover)- holds the rec- , ord for the perfect and permanent cure of indigestion and other diseases of the , stomach and associated organs of diges- ; tion and nutrition. It is not a palliative. It cures the cause of disease and builds up the body with solid healthy flesh, not 1 flabby fat. "It U with pleasure that I tell you what Dr. , Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and ' Pellets liave done for me " writes Mrs. T. M. Palmer, of i Peede, Haulman Co., Texas. "Two years ago I was taken with stomach and bowel trouble. Everything I ate would put me in distress. I lived two weeks on milk and even that gave me pain. I felt as though I would starve to death. Three doctors attended me one said I had dys pepsia, two said catarrh of the stomach and bowels. They attended me (one at a time) for one year. I stopped taking their medicine and tried other patent medicine; got no better, and I grew so weak and nervous my heart would flutter. 1 could not do any kiud of work. Now I can do my house work very well ; am gaining in Jlah and strength, and can eat anything I want,'' Accept no substitute for Dr. Pierce's Although he became in 1881 asso ciated with Dr. Weatherrrrd in the Oregon Herald, and afterward pur chased and edited the paper for two years, he did not enter politics to any extent until 1885, when he was nominated for mayor against John W. Gates, on the Issue of municipal ownership of the water plant, then in the hands of John Green and H. him. He neither paid nor received jc- Leonard. Gates easily defeated the spurious article. He was an hon- hlm.V for Penn?yer WttB a Btrong tti n. j . 'southern sympathizer, and the utter- t man. His life was filled with ancC8 of 4 lpaper nd ,8 Golden Medical Discovery.
