When the Republican conven
tion placed Ourdane and Davis on
their ticket, a direct slap was
made at the Pendleton Tribune,
and the "organ" was severely sat
downUpon. From present indica
tions the Pendleton Tribune will
a a f. nrrw
Alt the American nations will
yet join in maintaining the Monroe
doctrine. President Diaz, of Mex
ico, in his message to congress,
commends the Venezuelan message
of President Cleveland, and says
that all American Republics should
make similar declarations.
It gives one a pain to observe
the Pendleton Tribune in its efforts
to trump up the "dissatisfaction"
racket in the Democratic ranks.
The 4 Tribune, better known as the
"organ," no doubt would be pleased
to throw a red blanket nround the
Democratic candidate for county
judge, and also apply paint and a
f.i trior nr f.wiv TCh? - .
A good many girla are pleading
that they need bicycles for the ex
ercise it gives them. This is true.
It is pitiful to think of the girls of
fifty years ago who had no other
exercise than sweeping, washing
and scrubbing, and whose lives
were fhortened by pain and sick
ness becauce they never chased a
tennis ball or strapped on a pair of
leggins and rode off on a whee',
By all means get the girls bicycles.
The Democratic county conven
tion has been held, and the strong
est ticket that has ever been put
before the people of Umatilla
county, will be found at the head
of the Puess editorial page. Every
man whose name adorns thnt roll
of honor is capable and competent
in every way to conduct the affairs
)f the office to which he is nomi
nated for election on the 2nd day
of June, next. The men who are
on the Democratic ticket this year,
are meivof unquestionable honesty,
integrity, Democratic to the core,
and they nro proud of it. It was
confidently expected byourltepub
lican brethern, that there would
be fusion between the Democratic
forces and the Populists in this
county for the present campaign,
and there organ even enlisted .its
services so far as to make up a
portion of the "fused" ticket and
publish it. This Republican castle,
which wa "built on do sand,"
collapsed, when men among the
very best in Umatilla county were
nominated from the Democratic
ranks, by a Democratic convention,
in which every nomination was
made unanimous) and in which
there were no factions to war and
pull wires, and where nothing but
good feeling and harmony prevailed.
Injun blankets, war paint and
feathers don't go with Umatilla
Democracy; notwithstanding the
fact that some republicans are try
ing to make you believe that there
is discord in the Democratic camp.
UPennoyer has accepted the nom
ination for the office of mayor of
Portland from the taxpayer's
league and Populists, and will be
endorsed by the Democrats. Syl
vester Pennoyer will be the next
mayor of the city of Portland.
Says the Pendleton Tribune, a
paper supposed to be the only
republican organ in Umatilla
county, if we may except the Mil
ton Eagle though it is hardly
late enough yet in the season to
tell exactly what its politics are to
be speaking of the Democratic
ticket: , '.
"Republicans claim that the
county ticket named by the Demo
crats is the best, from top to bot
tom, ever nominated by that party
in this county. Especially Btrong
is the nominations for sheriff and
the candidates for legislative
honors."
Of course Zo Houser had a string
on the sheriffs office door. He
pulled it and got the nomination
for a third time notwithstanding
he promised Republican friends
and warm ones, too last campaign,
that if he were given the nomina
tion and support of the party then,
he would step down and out peace
fully in 1896, and give some one
else in the party a show for' the
nomination. Well, little Zo fooled
'em again. And by the way, how
will Tommy Hailey's words, which
ho uttered at the big ratification
meeting the other night, in Pendle
ton, fit here, namely: "A Demo
crat's word is as good as a Repub
lican's bond!"
'The Republican convention at
Pendleton did more to close the
breach that has so long existed be
tween that part of the county and
the East End than anything that
happened for the last eighteen
years. Delegates from this vicin
ity have no cause for complaint at
the Pendleton brethren, as in all
things they were treated with the
utmost consideration."
The above is from the Milton
Eagle, and we are glad, decidedly
glad, to hear that the Eagle is sat
isfied. However, from the fact
that the word "Pendleton" is stero
typed on the Republican ticket,
the Press fails to see any consist
ency in the awowal made by our
contemporary, and its assertions in
the past.
?he latest thing we have heard
of was sprung by a man living
near Weston, He has been tapping
box elder trees and making maple
sugar from the sap. We rather
think that overlays anything
sprung so far this season. We can
expect to hear next of an ice
factory making ice from the pure,
clear water furnished by a watch
spring or learn of some honest
farmer starting a dairy with the
product of milkweed. There is no
limit to what can be done in Ore
gon. Tho manufacture of pure
Vermont maple sugar from the sap
of box elder treeR may become one
of the leading industries of the
state in future years. Something,
too, might be done by an inventive
genius in the way of making cloth
from cottonwood trees. There is
no limit to what can be accom
plished here by intelligent effort,
although we have not had time as
yet to study out any plan to utilize
the tumble weed.
NOTE AND COMMENT.
Pendleton Tribune (before the
Republican county convention):
Tht county ticket can be greatly
strengthened by the nomination of
a legislative ticket which will offer
no excuse for the reopening of old
sores.- Those who feel under obli
gations to members ot the last
legislature for the bestowal of
favors, should remember that in
the nomination of a legislative
ticket this year very largely de
pends the success of the Republican
party in this county. In order to
be more explicit the Tribune is
free to ttata without prejudico
ajaintt Gurdane and Davis, that it
would be a mistake to force their
nomination on the forthcoming
convention. They are both sound
money men to be sure, but as there
seems to exist no objection to the
election of Senator Mitchell the
position of legislative nominees on
the money question counts for
little.
East Oregonian: The Pendleton
Tribune is again being edited by
Colonel Parsons, candidate for
prosecuting attorney on the Popu
list ticket, its regular editor being
on a visit to Portland. Politics
makes as strange bed fellows these
days as ever in the history of the
world. To read the colonel's de
fense of the present county admin
istration and to follow his advice
as temporary editor would bring
tears to a crocodile, if that animal
could thoroughly understand the
great sacrifices of the editor pro
tem.

way to cure deafness, and that I by constitut

you have a rumbling nou.nl or imperfect hear

the result and unless the information can be
