Adlai E. titeveuson, the democratic
nominee for vice president, served
one term in that oftice, from 1893 to
1807. Immediately thereafter he
waa appointed by Pres. McKinl' y on
tbe European Monetary Commission
of which Beuator Wolcod waa chair
man. That committee failed to eon
Vlnce the European commercial
class that international free coinage
of silver la desirable. None of the
European nations were willing to
undertake the scheme either singly
or joiutly. The committee returned
to America, aa was at the time sup

Harrison Allen, the district attor
ney for this district, has tiled in the
office of the county clerk, the ap
polntmeut of E. B-. Tongue aa deputy
district attorney for this county. Mr
Tongue, besides the endorsement of
tbe influential citizens of the county
had that of the delegates to the state
convention who assisted in the noml
nation of Mr. Allen.
Mr. Tongue is a native Oregonian
and was born in llillsboro. . He at
tended the publicschool at llillsboro.
attended the Hi ale University ft
three years, and completed his col
lege course at Pacific University, i
this county. He studied law in hi
father's office and was admitted
the bar in 1897. A partnership with
his father was formed, and he bp.
came the junior memlier of the firm
of Thus. II. 4 E. li. Tongue. He I
of course, a republican in Klitics,
ud during tbe last political cam
palgn, though scarcely recovered
from a severe attack of pneumonia
took an active part in the politiml
campaign in this county, and iimde
quite numlier of political speeches
in favor ol the election of the repub
lican ticket.
Mr. E. 11. Tongue, in practice of
nearly three years has been remarks
bly succeHsful. In that .time he has
lost but four vej-dicts, ai.d those
Jh rough no fault of his, but lavaiise
the evidence was unfavorable to hi
aide. Besides being professional!,
strong, he Is a favorite In society, and
Mr. Allen has exercised rare good
Judgment in the (election of his dep
uty In this county.
The appointment of the youngt
member of th" firm to this office
withdraws tbe senior member from
tbe defence of criminal cases, at least
In just icea' courts, and from all ch
prosecuted by E. B. Tongue. N
donbt the other members of the bar
at llillsboro will be both ready and
willing to take the practice thus
relinquished.

flowing from the entangling alliance
of the old world and enjoying tl
benefit Ihe Monroe Doctrine ronf. rs.
the United Hiates announces our (Mil-
icy and our purpose in China. The
identical note quoted below has t een
sent by our administration to all the
powers. Itiao)ui-t aud ao politic
that it is serving aa a model fur shap
ing the policy of Ihe world toward
China. Without deflating it, the
United Htates dictate to the power
bow they shall treat Chtiut. Ihe
rule is simple and easily olservel.
We only ling to the Monroe Doc
tnue In Asia. We no more expect
to eipand territorially ou the Asiatic
contiuent than we did when we en
gaged to pacify Cubai and insure a
stable government. We send foop"
to China to compel eace and for Ihe
protection of American citizens. We
demand no territory, not even a cottl-
ng t-ttliou'. II territory falls to us it
will lie unexpected aud tiken be-
ause we cannot surrelnlt-r it with
safety, and thus defeat the very o
it for which we invade China. The
United Ktateti will not recognize a
-late of war with China. The dis
turbance is a mol, and we, as a friend
t ) the Chinese government, help to
quell It. The other government
have adopted ihe American idea.
The full text of Mr. lily's note is
published in these wonli-:
' Depart inert ol State, Washington,
July 3, 1900.
"In this critical pot-lure of Hff.iirr
In Cliiua, it is deemed appropriate to
brine the attitude of Ihe United
States as far as present clreuimttnet's
M?rmit this to be done. We adhere to
the policy "iiiitiht -d by us in 18o7 '
of peace with the Chinese nation, ol
furtherance of lawful commerce, and
if protection ol live aud properly of
our citizens by all means guaranleeil
under extralerrt rial treaty right"
and by the law of nations. If wrong
lie done to our citiens, we propos.
to hold the responsible authors It the
u t rmost accountability.
"We regard the condition ot Pekiu
as one of virtual anarchy, whereby
power and resHinsibility is practical
ly devolved upon the local provincial
authorities. So long as they are not
in overt collusion with rebellion and
use their power lo protect foreign life
and projierty, we regard them as rep
resell ting the Chinese people, with
whom we seek to remain lu peaci
and friendship.
'The purpose of the president is as
it has been heretofore, t ) ai t concur
rently with the ether powers first in
opening up communication with I'e
kin and rescuing the American otll
cials, missionaries and other Ameri
cans who are in danger; second!,
affording all pons! tile protection
everywhere in China to American
life and property; thirdly, in guard
ing and protecting all legitimate
American interests, and fourthly, in
uiding to prevent a spread of the dis
inleis to the other provinces of lh
empire, and n recurrence ol such
disasters.
"It is,of course, too early to forecast
the means of attaining this last re
sult, but the policy of the govern
meut of the Uoitid States is to seek
a solution winch may bring atnu

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
Pltn.AMI.TniA. Following la the foil
text of tbe platform adopted by the Re
publican Niitioiial convention t
The Kepiililicar gof the United States,
Uirongh their chosen representativea,
met in national convention, looking
back upon au nuKnrpaasexl record. of
achievement, and looking forward into
a great field of dnty aud opportunity
aud appealing to the judgment of their
countrymen, make these declaration:
The expectation in which the Ameri
can people, turning from the Democratic,
party, intrusted power four years ago to
a Republican chief magistrate and a
Repnblioan congress, has been met and
satisfied. When the people then as
sembled at the polls after a term qf
Democratic! legislation and administra
tion, busine was dead. Industry para
lysed aud tbe national credit disastrous
ly impaired. The country's capital
was hidden away snd its labor distress
ed and unemployed. The Democrats
had no other plan with which to im
prove the miyons condition which they
bad themselves produced than to coin
silver at the ratio of 18 to 1.
Prosperity rironght By Repnbllean.
The Rt-pi-blican party denouncing
this plan as snre to pmdnoe conditions
even worse thnr. those from which re
lief was sought, promised to restore
prosperity by means of two legislative
measures a protective tariff and a law
making (told the standard of Talus.
The people by great majorities issued to
the Republican party a commission to
enact these laws. This commission has
been executed and tha Republican
promise is redeemed. Prosperity mora
fenerai and mora abundant than ws
have ever known has followed these
enactments. There is no longer any
controversy as to tha value of any gov
eminent obligations. Every American
aollar Is a sold dollar or its assured
equivalent, and American credit stands
higher than that of any other nation.
Capital la fully employed and every
where labor Is profitably occupied.
No sincls fact can more strikingly
tall tbe story of what Republican govern
ment means to the country than this
that while dnring the whole period from
1801 to 1897 there waa an excess of ex
porta over imports of only $.MI,034,41'7,
there has been in the short three year of
the present RepnblicanadminUtrationan
xopsa of ex poru over imports in tha
enormons tnm of f 1.4RS, 7:18,094, and
while the American people, sustained
by this Republican legilation, bars
been achieving these splendid triumphs
In their business and commerce, they
hare conducted and in Tictory conclud
ed war for liberty and human rights.

Ws indortw Ihe aituiinlHtratiou of
'William McKiuley. It act have been
estabhahed iu wiadom and in patriot
lam, aud at home and al roml it ha ili
tiuclly elevatetl aud exU uded tbe influ
aaoa of the Antericau natiou. Walk
ing untried path and facing unforeseen
reapoUHibiUt'ea, President McKiuley haa
been in every situation Ihe true Ameri
can patriot aud upright statesman, clear
in vision, strong in jmttfuieut, firm in
actiou, always luHpiriug and deserving
the ooufiduiice of his countrymen.
In akkiug the Anierioau ptxiple toiu
dorse this Republican record aud to re
new their couimiMinu to the Republi
can party, we remind them of the fact
that the menace to their prosperity b.ts
always resided in Democratic principle
and no leas iu the geuorul incapacity of
the Democratic party to condui t publio
affaire. The prima eHauutial of busi
ness prosperity is public confidence in
the good kenae of the government and
its ability to deal intelligently with all
new problems of admiuistration and
legislation. That confidence the Demo
emtio party haa never earned. It is
hopelessly inadequate, and the country's
prosperity, when Democratic uorcH3 ut
the polls i anuouueed, halts aud ceaat-a
in niere antiaipatioB of Democrutio
blunders aud failures.
Dselaratlea for th Gold Ktaadard.
W renew our allegiunoe to the nri...
dpi of the gold standard, aud dec lure
our confidence in the wisdom of the
legislation of the Fifty-sixth congress
by which the parity of all our
money and the stability of our currency
on a gold basis has been secured. We
recognise that interest rates are a po
tent factor in production and business
activity and for tbe purpose of further
equalising and of further loweriug the
rates Of interest we furor such mone
tary legislation as will enable the vary
ing needs of the season and or all xv
tioas to be properly met in order that
trade may be evenly sustained, labor
steadily employed aud commerce en
larged. The rolume of money ju cir
culation was never so great pur capita
as It is today.
We declare our steadfast opposition
to the free and ualiinitod coinage of
silver. No measure to that eud could
be considered which waa without the
support of the leaxling commercial coun
tries ef the world. However firmly
Kepubllcaa legislation may seem tc
have sesursd the country against the
peril of base and aiscredited currency
thseleetioa of a Deaiocratio president
could net fail te impair the country'
credit aad to bring onoe more into ques
tion theinteatiou of the Ainoricau peo
ple te maintain upua the gold standard
the parity of their money circulation.
The Democratic party must be con
vinced that the American people will
never tolerate the Chicago platform.
On the Qnestltta of Trusts.
We recognize the necessity and pro
priety of the honest oo-operation of cap
ital to meet now business conditions,
and especially to extend our rapidly in
creasing foreign trade, but we condemn
all conspiracies and combinations in
tended to restrict busiuee-i, to create
monopolies, to limit production or to
control prices, aud favor such legis
lation as will effectually restrain and
prevent all snoh abuses, protect and
promote competition and secure the
rights of producers, laborers aud all
Who are engaged in industry and com
merce. -
Iieelaratlna for Protection.
We renew our faith In the policy of
protection to American labor. Iu that
policy our industries have been estab
lished, diversified and maintained. By
protecting the home market, the com
petition has been stimulated and pro
duction cheapened. Opportunity the
inventive genius of our people baa been
secured and wages in every deport,
ment of labor have been maintained at
high rates, highnr-now than evor before,
thus distinguishing our working people
in their better conditions of life from
those of any competing country. Eu
joyiug the blessings of American com
mon schools, secure in the right of self
government and protected in tha occu
pancy of their own markets their con
stantly increasing knowlege and skill
have enabled them finally to enter the
markets of the world. We favor tbe
associated policy of reciprocity, so di
rected as to open our markets on favor
able terms for what we do not ourselves
produce in return for free foreign mar
kets. In the further interests of American
workmen, we favor a more effective re
striction of the immigration of cheap
labor from foreign lauds, the extension
of opportunities of education for work
ing children, the raising of tha age
limit for child labor, the protection of
free labor as against convict labor and
an effective system of labor insurance.
Our present dependence on f-eign
shipping for nine-tenths of our foreign
carrying is a great loss to th industry
of this country. It is also a serious
danger to our trade for its sudden with
drawal in the event of a European war
would seriously cripple our expanding
foreign commerce. The national de
fense and naval efficiency of thia coun
try, moreover, supply a compelling rea
son for legislatiou which will enable us
to recover onr former place among t!is
trade carrying fleets of the world.
Liberal Petition I.itw a Favored.
The nation owes a debt of profound
gratitude to the soldiers and sailors who
have fonglit its Isittles, and it is the gov
ernment's fluty to provide for tlm sur
vivor and for the widow and orphan
of those who biivi fallen in the coun
try's wars. The pension biws founded
in this just sentiment should be lateral
and should te liberally administered,
and preference should l givou, wher
ever practicable, with reflect to eiu
ployment in the public M rvice, to sol
diers and sailors and to their widows
and ophan.
Repnnllrana and tiie Civil Service.
We commend the policy of the R.
publican purtyin maintaining the effici
ency of the civil service. The admini-
tration has acted wisely in its effort to
secure for pnl lic service in Cuba, P.ir'O
Rico, Hawaii nnd the Philippines only
those whose fitness has beeu determin
ed by training and experience. We be
lieve that employment in the publio
aervio in these territories should lie
confined, as fur a pntcticabln, to their
Inhabitant.
It was the plain purpose of tha Fif
tcenth amendment to the constitution
to prevent d'at rimlnatiiHi on acconnt of
race or color in regulating the elective
franchise. Devices of states govern
ment, whether by statutory or cnusti
tntioiri' enactment, to avoid the pur

In the further pnrsnance of the con

Tha Dingley act, amended to pro

work that it has been possible to redaoe
the war debt in the sum of 940,000,000.
So ample are the government's revenues
and so great is the public confidence in
tha Integrity of its obligations, that its
newly funded two per Ocnt bonds sell
at a premium. The country is now

policy of the Republican party to bring
about a reduction of the war taxes.

In the interest of our expanding com

Treatment of tha Philippines.
In accepting by the treaty of Paris
the just responsibility of our victories
in the Spanish war, the president and
the senate won th undoubted approval
of the American people. No other
course was possible than to destroy
Spain's sovereignty throughout the
West Indies anil in the Philippines.
That course created our responsibility
before the world and with the unorgan
ized population whom our intervention
had freed from Spain, to provide for
maintenance of law and order, and for
the establishment of good government
and for this performance of international
obligations. Our authority could not
be less than our responsibility, and
wherever sovereign rights were extend
ed, it became the high duty .of the gov
ernment to maintain its authority, to
pot down armed insurrection aud to
confer the blessings of liberty and civil
isation upon all the rescued peoples.
The largest measure of self-govern
ment oonsistant with their welfare and
our duties shall be secured to them by
law. To Cuba, independence and self
government were issued in the same
voice by which war was declared and to
the letter this pledge shall be performed.

principles and policies, confidently in
