He now states that his letter, re-published on the fourth page of this morning's Astorlan, was accom panted by a second communication. At the time of writing these letters he says he made copies of both. Here Is the copy of tho second: Astoria, Or., Mar. 10, 1894, Mr. J. C. Stanton: Deer Sir In accordance with a former conversation and your request of this day, I present to you a contract for your signature in the manner that you wish It drawn up. It is to be distinctly unedrstood that this consideration is to reimburse to me moneys that I have already formerly ex pended In promotion of the R. R., and to pay me for assisting you to develop the subsidy. It is not to influence my actions while a member of the committee, but when ever I am satisfied that you can Bhow to the committee your financial ability to build the It. R., I will then resign from the committee and go to work to help you "boom" the subsidy, very respectfully, . ALFRED KINNEY. The statement that this second letter was ever sent to Mr. Stanton is a delib erate untruth, in was (written last Sunday morning, for the first time, in the Occi dent Hotel. The ink on this document which purported to be a copy made in March, ISM) wan not even dry at 11 o'clock last Aimdny morning when r, Kinney In nan to show It to everybody that would stop and listen to him. It was written by him for the first time as soon as he saw the shameful Stanton contract in Sun day's ABlorlan. But even if this Becond letter were a genuine communication Instead of the shameful fraud it is, how does that affect the matter. Does that make Dr. Kinney's public acts In making the contract any less despicable or dishonorable? Docs that clear him from the Infamous charge brought against hlmT Defeated today at the polls, at the hands of an outraged community, he must immediately resign his position as chair man of tho committee of twenty-one. He certainly cannot have the effrontery to retain his place under the circumstances. Neither can the committee, consisting as It does of honorable and conscientious men, allow him to remain any longer their advisor and commander In chief. They should glvo him the opportunity to retire, and If he is so lost to all sense of shame as to try to keep a place he haB dishonored and disgraced, he should be lirnomlnlously dismissed. Dr. Kinney states that Mr. Stanton signed the (10,000 contract with him. Very well. Mr. Stanton Is an Interested party with Mr. Hammond In thepresent rail road deal. Then Dr. Kinney must have already received the first 13,000, for rail road work has already been started for over thirty days. But If he has received this money, why is he remaining on the committee? Dr. Kinney only sinks further Into the mud of public Ignominy the more his real position gets lo lie midurstoed. Bring forth the ryprcHS and the yew, while tears exude nor cold nor few, and sorrow drips o'er "Cltlser.a." Ring out sad chimes the plaintive knell, as the ilaik tidings how "Flavel" struggled and fought and blankly fell, spread cloudy t grief o'er "Citizens." Oh, Joy Is dsfp and with a will do mighty hands the beaker fill, whereas Disaster's sickening pill poisons the mouth of "Cltlxcns."

It is a condition brought about by Irresponsible office holders, by men who, foisted on us in the middle of a "reform" cry, have slowly brought our affairs into the most disgraceful mesa they have over reached. Today this city is on the mar ket with a bond issu the proceeds from which are necessary to pay Its running expenses. We want honesty of purpose In the con duct of our affairs, more civic morality, more care, and, beyond all, methods more business like add methodical. What is a city government but a bus! ness house on a large scale? Why should Its affairs be handled differently to the affairs of a mercantile concern? Why should its standing be assailed, its melh ods called into question? Business men of Astoria, you must go to the polls today and vote for honest can dldates. You must cast your ballots for clean and reputable men not for de bauched knownothlngs or Incompetent Of fice hunters. Elect Frank J. Taylor mayor, and elect to office today every Republican candidate with the exception of C. J. Curtis a venal and corrupt politician. Elect in his stead George Johnson, a young attorney bright in his profession, honest in his private life. With Mr. Taylor as mayor, a man whose professional knowledge Is unex celled in the state, with Mr, Johnson as city attorney, and. with Mr. John H. Smith as his deputy what city in Oregon will be provided with bettor legal talent? The Republican candidates for council men: Look at their names F. L. Par ker, II. C. Thompson, W. F. McGregor, Need we say anything more? Are they honest, capable, bright and progressive in their own private business? You know they are. Then is not their reputation a guarantee of the value of their public services? Elect Mr. Holt, Mr. Hahn, Mr. tfell and Mr. Larsen. Business men, Judge the candidates by their private worth and reputation. Don't vote for a man without manhood or sta bility. And above all, mark your ballots not for the Republicans, not for the Dem ocrats, not for the "Citizens," but for the honor and fair fame of the city of As toria. Do that, and you can't go wrong. How thin is Dr. A. . Kinney's last "ex planation!" He would not resign hU posi tion until he was Bure of Stanton's ability to build the railroad. ''Oh, no, Mr. Stan ton, I don't propose to let go the Influ ence my position us chulrman of the com mittee gives me, for, if YOU don't build the railroad, I propose to try the same game on with the man who docs." How pitiable to Bee a man like this dropped from a pinnacle of respect and the esteem of his fellow citizens down to the lowest depths of ostracism and con tempt! At lust night's Republican meeting C. J. Curtis stood up on the platform and de liberately, shamefully dishonored himself by a vicious and false attack upon the honor of reputable private citizens. It was the man's dying spasm. Republicans, you have the opportunity today. Sweep this demagogue, this blot upon the name of the city, out of the ranks of the party forever. It was discovered last night that every, employe of the Clatsop Mill Company had been threatened with discharge un less ho voted today for Dr. Kinney. That men should be paid barely board wages Is deplorable enough. But that they should be ordered to sacrifice their manhood In this way Is Infinitely worse. Never In the history of Astoria has there been uncovered So shameless and Indefensible an act as Dr. Kinney's de. liberate sale of himself to a man to whom he was only useful on account of his public position a position with which he had been honored by people who believed hint to bo an honest man. If one-half the people that C. J. Curtis has vilified and abused as correspondent of tho 1'ortlanil Sunday Mercury and pro prietor of the Weekly Herald will get out today and Bay with their ballots whut they think of him, he will bo snowed un der bo deep that nobody will be able to find him for a month. Mayor A. t. Kinney's downfall, like thut of many other good man, Is pitiable. A physical wreck without dignity or wis dom, he may find It a blessing In disguise to be forcibly removed, as he will be to day, from any further possibilities of public oftlce. The members of the Astoria Chamber of Commerce wilt remember the con temptible act of Mayor Kinney in insult ing Mayor Frank and the leading citizens of Portland, while their guest. A nice figurehead to be saddled with, Isn't It? The election returns will bulletined In front of the Astorlan oftlce as soon as they ore made known this evening and full arrangements have been made to trace tho progress of the vote from time to time In all the polling places. Mr, Curtis: You have failed, either in puUllo or private, to explain what has be come of that 11700 that was assigned to you for collection by Messrs. Hickman, ltuin and the engineering corps of the Dundee Reld railroad, Dr. Alfred Kinney returns to Flavel to morrow for the winter. It will be a pretty hard winter, too, but then that $10,000 will see him through, if he exer cises reusonuble economy. Where Is the derrick to hoist this ten Uoiihjml dollur heavyweight out of the mayoralty? And a thousand votes to night will answer: "Right here." WANTED Ar.y kind of a Job till the spring. Am a handy man at anything. Can split wood. City warrants for sale. Apply K. O., on top of th Hill. Mr. K. Outturn: "I am the working men's friend. I'm an horny-handed son of toll. If you don't b.llev mo. too nt my mansion on the hill." Vale, Kinney! Soon We'll Bhow them by the numbers Civic honor's not a dream; Truth has wakened from her slumbers And has fired tho old regime. Let us then be up and doing; Strew the ballots thick and fast, Honent times again renewing With the bubble pricked at last. Voters of Astorlu; honest citizens, who want clean, sober, manly city oflleiuls, your opportunity is here. Make use of it. - Dr. Kinney says that Mr. Stanton is no gentleman. He wrote It himself, nnd the cat came back. .Watch the Astorlan's bulletins tonight.
