dark cloud of adversity, which has
hung like a pall over our fair land,
has been dissipated. We recognize

"We are in favor of the mainte

we are unqualifiedly opposed to the
free coinage of silver and to all other
schemes look lug to the debasement
of tbe currency and the repudiation
of debt. We believe that the best
money in the world ia none too good
to be assured by the government to
the laborer as the fruit of his toil
aiul to the farmer as the price of his
crop. We condemn ine continued
agitation for free silver as calculated
to jeopardize the prosjicrity of the
country aud to shake the confiilcnci
of the people in the maintenance of a
wlae financial policy; we particularly
condemn as unpatriotic, the effort of
the free-silver agitator to array class

There can be no perfect union of the
bimetallists of the county on tbe plat
form adopted by the fusion conven
tion in this city. It is natural to
suppose that - the platform emanated
from the na ional committee from
the fact that it is announced that
that committee proposes to manage
the present campaign. If this is the
fact, the sooner the democrats dis
solve themselves from this alliance
the belter will be their condition to
enter the next presidential contest.
Of the 6i00,UiK) votes cast for W.J.
Bryan, 5,000,000 w- r' dem s-nts and
of these not one-fl fth would vote for
him on this platform. There aieten
thousand democrits in Oregon to day
that are not going to indorse that
platform even though they httve to
sacrifice their loyally to free silver.
Free coinage of silvi r dm-s not carry
with it flat money und government
paternalism, and it takes no great
intellect to understand thai fut paper
money will drive out of circulation
both gold and silver ami leave paper
as the currency of the country. In
place of being a mean to re-establish
the legal .status of silver, it would
prove it is-rmanent retirement and
ties! ruction. Xo doubt the Oregon
platform was suggested so as to catch
populist votes, the democrats not be
ing considered in the matter any
more than they were in the distribu
tion of the tiffins. There can be no
fellowship on these terms. It is said
that this union was formed for the
pursse of giving the free silver re
publicans and populists an oppor
tunity to slip into the democratic
party. It looks, however, as if the
democracts and free silver republi
cans got on a greased plank
landrd in the populist camp. It will
not win. Portland Dispatch (Itcmo-cratic
I. II. Tafle and S-ufcrt Bros, have
started their wheels at tVlilo, but as
yet are making light catches. Few
salmon have come into the river yet,
since no catches of importance) are
reported either ou theupK'r or lower

A drive of 800,000 feet of saw lues
from Mohawk has arrived at the mill
at Coburg, in Lane county, and the

to have another log drive down from

The Ashland mine stamp -lill,
which has been umlerguin u

A. J. Teuipleton, deputy assessor
of Linn county, was held up by a

After getting passesslon of the tie

The present spring has been a very
favoruble one for the sheep interests
of Lincoln county. Lambing is iu
progress and the reports are that a
great srcentage of the lambs sur
vived, owing to the absence of the
usual cold spring rains. The flock
of sheep and goats in Lincoln county
are rapidly increasing, and will soon
be a source of wealth to the people of
the county.

Much uneasiness Is felt in Detroit,
Marion county, over the continued
alisence of James Coyne, who is sup-
osed to have left F'ossil, In Gilliam

mountains. Nothing has lieen heart!
from him since that time, aud it is
fe red he inay have perished in the
