C ritica l
There has never been a more crit
ical period in the history of our
country than the present. A cloud
black as the stygian shades, hangs
like a funereal pall over this once
prosperous country.
Business is
paralyzed, there is no market for
farm products, labor is unemployed,
the masses of the people are discon
tented and there is in the air the
rumblings of a great political revo
lution. The American people have
come to understand that through
the machinations of political schem
ers and demagogues of both the
old political parties there has been
gross and dangerous mismanage
ment of the affairs of government,
and that the present appalling con
ditions are the result of this mis
management.
Under these critical conditions
the people of Oregon are called
upon once more to elect men to
administer the affairs of government.
The People’s party is simply the
uprising of the people against these
ruinous conditions. Liberty-loving
and patriotic citizens, to whom coun
try is dearer than party, are rallying
under the people’s banner and mass
ing themselves for a might)’ conflict
in June. The great principle under
lying this people’s movement is,
“ Equal rights to all, special privi
leges to none.”
The Populist platform, based upon
this fundamental principle, is clear-
cut and unequivocal. It reaffirms
the essential principles of the Omaha
platform, favors amending the con
stitution to provide for direct legis
lation by the initiative and’referen
dum, denounces foreign pauper im
migration and demands the free coin
age of silver. It pledges the party
and its candidates to the reduction
of salaries, and to stop the reckless
w’asto of the people’s money that
has characterized the administra
tions of the old parties in the past.
It demands the re-enaetment of the
mortgage tax law and the exemption
clause; the protection of our fish
eries, and the reserving of our min
eral lands from the grasp of rail
road corporations for the benefit of
the people. There is not a plank in
the platform that is not clear and
explicit— no straddles or jingo plat
itudes; it is simply the outspoken
convictions of honest, patriotic citi
zens.
Upon this platform the following
grand men stand pledged as our
standard- bearers :
For congress, in the First district,
Hon. W. 8. Vanderburg, of Coos
county, carries the colors. Mr.
Vanderburg is a man of recognized
legislative ability, a clear thinker, a
logical reasoner, a good speaker,
and withal a man of unblemished
character.
In fact; the state of
Oregon could not produce a more
suitable man to succeed Mr. Her
mann than Hon. W. S. Vanderburg.
In the Second congressional dis
trict, Hon. Martin 8. Quinn, of Port
land, leads the conquering Populist
hosts. Mr. Quinn is essentially a
man of the people, ami os such is the
idol of the laboring masses. As a
polemic orator he has few, if any,
peers in the state, and in his canvass
carries everything before him. If
| he were not a man of unsullied
character he would not bo on the
Populist ticket for congress in the
j Second district.
For joint senator for Coos, Curry
and Josephine counties, Hon. W. C.
Edwards, of Grants Ps»s, Josephine
1 county, is the people’s candidate.
I Mr. Edwards has made his canvass

The following protest written for
the Orego ninn is so apropos of the
present that we give it place in the
HititALD.
The growing tendency to
convert this more than funereal occa
sion into a day of festivity is repre
hensible. It savors too much of an
Irish wake:
Portland, May G.— (To the Editor.)
—In your issue of the 6th, in refer
ring to the observance of Memorial
day, you comment upon tho ten
dency to make it a day of festivities.
And in another column we read that
the baseball and bicycle clubs are
to have unusual contests on that
day. It is to bo deplored that our
young athletes should choose Memo
rial day for their contests, out of
the 3C5 days of the year— tho day
set aside by legislature for paying
tribute to the memory of our patriot
dead; n day when the nation mourns
and the republic bows her head in
grief. Our baseball and bicycle
organizations arc composed of young
men, those upon whoso shoulders
tho great responsibilities of this
nation must soon rest, and it is to
ho regretted that they should bo the
first to desecrate tho day made
sacred by those who died that tho
nation might live, a day honored by
the alien who is sowo irning with us,
ami kept sacred by the biavo men
who looked into the muzzles of our
muskets ti third of a century ago,
and whose cause went down under
failure’s frown.
Let us hope that tho patriotic
press and the American peoplo will
indignantly frown down every
attempt to mnko it a day of festivi
ties, until our athletes will select
some other day for their games and
contests.
