Returns on the .Legislative Tickets Fairly Complete. According to lhe election returns re ceived i p to a laUs hour last night, Ore gon hast-lected two populmtconge--raen. In th first district complete returns have been received from every county except Curry, VanderJaurg, populist, has a plurality of 422 over Tongue. In Curry county there are only about 500 votes, and at the last election the repub lican ticket received about 100 plurality. It is probable that the republicans will noil, as fa saw a vote as thev did two years ago, so Vanderburg is without doubt elected. In the second district Quinn, populist, has 400 plurality over Ellis, republican, with Grant, Harney and. Malheur counties yet to bear Irom. Two years ago Grant gave the repuoli' can ticket sou plurality. Mainour went republican by 90, and Harney democra tic by 40. . According to the way his vote has been running in this district, iuinu should have a plurality in Harney and Malheur. The count in Portland is not yet com Die to. It is known, however, that the republicans elected every officer on the county ticket and all the city officers ex cept the mayor and two councilmon Three regular republican state senators are elected and one Mitchell republican The regular republicans elected six representatives and the Mitchell republi cans three. The returns give Quinn, 463 plurality over kllis, with Grant, tlarney and Mai heurto hear from. II they give ths same vote as two years ago uuinn win have 100 plurality. In the first district complete returns with the exception of Curry county give Vanderberg a plurality of 422. Currv countv will probably cut this down to 300. Bean for judge will have 12,000 plurality. In this county Simon probably elected three out of fonr senators and six out of nine representa lives. The indications are, from incomplete returns in the first congressional district in Oregon, that Tongue has been beaten by a small plurality, probably zuu or 3Ut, On the joint ba'lot the legislature stands: ReDublicans. 56: populists. 12: demo crats, 6: union bimetallic, 3; Mitchell republicans, 3. CLACKAMAS COUNTY. The full election returns from this county show the result to have been a more complete populist victory than was claimed last night. Vanderburg teceived 658 plurality over 1 nomas longue lor congress, and Gaston lead Bean 351 votes for the supreme judgeship. Cleeton for district attorney, leaves this county with 292 votes less tnan smitn. ine tnree populist candidates for the legislature were elected by pluralities oi about ouu each. For sheriff, E. O. Maddock, who stood for re-election, lacks 810 of having as many votes as G. W. Grace, and for connty clerk, Dixon wins over Meldrum by a plurality oi i3ots. Htarkweatner wins the school superintendency from Strange by a plurality of only 60, and Kinnaird lacks 32 votes of re election to the county suryeyorship. These returns are, of course, unofficial, and it is pos sible that the official count may make slight changes. The democratic strength was only about bUU. uverytmng is pop ulist with the exception of an occasional constable or justice. . MARION COUNTY. The election returns from Marion county's 36 precincte are all in, but the vote has not been canvassed, mere is variance in the unofficial estimates in some precincts, but it is settled mat Vandetbum has carried the county by about 73 plurality, and Hay den's major ity over Carson for district attorney is 1223. . .. i YAMHILL COUNTY. The union bimetallic ticket is elected. The lowest majority is 128 for sheriff, the highest, 682, for surveyor. The vote of North Newberg will not materially change the result, but will probably add 10 votes to the republican side ot the slate. . BKNTON COUNTY, E. R. Lake, republican nominee for joint representative for Benton bnd Lin coln counties, is elected by 275 majority. B. Q. Loggan, candidate lor representa tive, on the Benton county republican ticket, is defeated by aboutj20 plurality by John Whittaker, a poputiat, the firet one ever elected in the county. On the county ticket, the successful democratic fusion candidates are Peter Reckard, sheriff, and V. E. Watters, clerk. The democrats also elected their assessor, Asa Alexander, and Wm. Buchanan, treasurer. The republicans saved from the wreck the school superintendent, George Denman,. John Gallatly, recorder and John Buchanan, commissioner. JACKSON COUNTY. Complete returns from all but two small precincts give republicans one representative and school superintendent, and the democrats county ( judge, and everything else goes to the populists by email majorities. Hon. W. 8. Orowell was elected connty judg by a majority of less than 100, while Hon, N. Laogell, for representative oa the republican I - Other Companies INSURANCE ticket, will have a majority of less than 50, unless the two remaining precincts give the populists their full- precinct vote. Jackson connty had three representa tives, two of whom will be populists, and she will also have a populist Bun a tor the official count may change the figures a little. WASHINGTON COUNTY. Representatives Hudson, republican, 1660; Marsh, republican, 1714; Thomp son, republican, 1504;Ennie, popaliet, 996; Prickett, populist, 1278; Tipton, populist, 919; Perkins, democrat, 925; Robinson, democrat, 434 ; Schulmerich, democrat, 727. The republicans elected all the rest of the ticket. KLAMATH COUNTY. Representatives Conn, republican. 256; Hanks, democrat, 206; Larrabee, populist, Z73. l be two precincts not heard Irom are small, aggregating less than 30 votes, and will not change the result materially. lhe populists elected the sheriff, the re publicans the clerk, treasurer, and com missioner, and the democrats the assessor, superintendent and surveyor. , . LINN COUNTY. The election was a landslide for popu lism. 'Vanderburg's majority is 1087, with a tew minor corrections probable, Hay den has 240 majority over Carson. The republicans elect recorder, treasur er, assessor and surveyor. .The remain der of the county ticket is populist County clerk is very close between the republican and populist, and may require an official count to decide. .V: LANK, COUNTY., ' I The republicans are very despondent over the outlook on the question of senator and the principal county offices.

Nosier, populist nominee for joint representative, has carried the county 250 plurality. It is doubtful, though, if this is sufficient to elect him, as Curry is strongly republican. The vote in Coos county shows a fall-ing-off in the populist vote. The repub licans elect the connty clerk and surveyor ; the democratn the coroner, and the popu lists the rest of the ticket.

Gov't Report ' AB5QWEEE.Y ' PUHE THEY ARE JUBILANT The Populists are Rejoicing Over Results. THE GENERAL OPINION From a Steam Laundry to the Halls of Congress. The populists had their turn Wednes day. With the certainty of the election of Vanderberg as congressman in the first district, and the strong probability that Martin L. Quinn was also elected in the second district, their joy knew no bounds. Even the fact of Populist Bourne being elected to the legislature was lost sight ol in the general hilarity produced over the results of the con gressional events. The progress of the count between Ellis and Quinn was close ly watched at populist headquarters in Portland, and, as the returns from out lying precincts came in, showing a steady gain for Quinn, the enthusiasm in creased. Mr. Quinn is now declared a sure winner. It is claimed that the re turns from Harney and Crook counties cannot hurt the populist candidate, and, while Grant county may give Ellis a small plurality, it will not be sufficient to affect the result. - General Weaver and J atnea R. Rove ' reicn left Portland confident that. Quinn had been elected, and. beiore their de parture. tvth 'ufjn sent eastward con--.otiiiatoiy telegrams over the great victory won. Early In the day, Mr. Quinn was in receipt of several telegrams congratulating him on his election. Some of them were a little previous, as the closeness of the count made his elec tion problematical until late in the afternoon. Even now the race between him and Ellis is considered very close, with indications pointing to the election of the populist by a plurality of but a few hundred. Among the telegrams received by Mr. Quinn, was one from New York city ' that caused some amusement at populist headquarters. The Bender, with an evident eye to business, applied for a (1200 clerkship, which all congressmen bavo within their power to give. Under a recent act of congress, each member of the lower house has the privilege of em ploying a clerk, and the New York ap plicant, who, by the way, formerly lived in Portland, and was employed in a rail road offlce here, took time by the fore lock. Mr. Quinn did not answer the telegram, thinking that it would he best to wait until he had his certificate of election in his pocket before selecting a clerk. Mr. Quinn takes his prospective honors with good grace. Tho fact that a man can leave tho driver's seat of a laundry waeon and drop into nn upholstered chair in the halls of congress shows the possibilities of American cltizonship, but it has not turned the head of Mr. Quinn. He knows where he is at, and the pos sibility o his being elected to congress has not changed the size of his hat. While it is true that a member of con gress may bs a big man in bis district, a congressman in Washington really does not amount to much, and Mr. Quinn evidently realizes that fact. While at populist headquarters talking with a reporter, ho said : "I believe that the growth of our party in Oregon is largely due to the discussion of the finance question, which by natural economic evolution has now become the storm center of political thought. A question great enough to disrupt ' three political parties is of such importance that t can be sutcly used as a basis for the formation of a pnrty within which will crystallize all the forces and elements of money reform that noedonly organiza tion to be successful. We also conducted a clean, honest campaign. No attempt at illegal voting was made, and only honest methods were used to attain victory. The populists believe in legitl mato methods." There were others conregated at popu lint headquarters in Portland, and natur ally the drift of conversation was politics. The eloctiou of Uniied States senator J. W. SMITH, Mena, Oregon. e.irjne in tor a g -.! share of discussion, together With tl. chance of John H. Mitchell being r. known populist: uriiod Sjti l one well- "John H. Mite:. V :. te. He has got to say 'I am a populist' if he expects the populist vote, and there will be enough of our kind in the legislature to hold the balance of power, lhe republican con vention at St. Louis will undoubtedly declare for the gold standard. This dec laration will solidify the republicans in the next legislature, and they will have to get on that platform. If John H. Mitchell wants to go back to the United States Senate, he will have to get away from his party. If he insists on being a republican, and stands on the republican platform regardicg money, the populists will never vote for him. If be favors free silver, we will support him, and there will be enough of his republican f riends to help elect bim. If he doesn't stand by free silver, he will never be e lected as senator, and from present indi cations, it looks as though there might be a deadlock. While not having a ma jority of the legislature, the populists will have enough votes under control to elect a senator, when the time comes." : Portland,- June 4 Martin tuinn, driver for a steam laundry of Portland, through a split in the republican . party, which could not but mean ruin and de feat, leaps from the obscurity of an, $11 a week job, handling soiled linen, to the proud eminence of representing the state of Oregon at the capital of the nation, and be it known that Mr. Quinn, despite his humble occupation, will in no way bring diecredit upon the state, so far as intelligence and ability to express himself are concerned. In fact his elec tion may be almost attributed to the ' m splendid showin m4 v niin tuo piatiuim during the late campaign in the brilliancy of his speeches. Men who were not populists listened to his silvery oratory and in sheer sympathy for the man and his boundless ambition cast their votes for him. As a result, the laundry wagon driver goes to congress in precedence of men learned and experi enced in the needs of the nation. Truly it may be said that tho knock of fortune at Martin Qulnn's door went not un heeded. As the returns come in and the results are assured a general feeling of relief is expressed even by those with friends defeated that the agony is over. That another such election should ever occur in Portland is not likely. How the News is Taken. Washington, June 6. Silver men are jubilant over the result in Oregon and are trying to make it appear that strad dling will be necessary at St. Louis. The ' straight party men say that necessity ex- lBts now more than ever to secure a sound money plank in the platform, and that the issue should be plain, especially as it appears that the silver men will con tol at Chicago. They declaro that they are not to be frightened by outcroppings of populists in Oregon or any other state, especially when the tendency was this way in most of theee states in 18()2.i The -leaders of the party not coin initted to the silver craze believe that a atrnllit &uht on the currency should be hfcti at this", time, if the democrats offer it. The populists and silver men are es pecially jubilant. Representative Ellis attributes the result in his district to the fact that an independent gold standard republican was running against the reg ular republican nominee, and in the first district to the fact that a great many re publicans were dissatisfied with the de feat of Hermann for renoraination. Sen ator Mitchell has no doubt that ho will he elected by the legislature just chosen. Herman thinks he would have been elec ted had he been nominated. If it required an annual outlay of $100 to insure a family against any serious consequences from an attack of bowel complaint during the year there are many who would feel it their duty to pay it; that they could not afford to risk their lives, and those of their family for such an amount. Any one can get this in surance for 25 cents, that being the price of a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. In al most every neighborhood some one has died from aa attack of bowel complaint before medicine could he procured or a phvsician summoned. One or two doses of this remedy will cure any ordinary case. It never fails. Can you afford to take the risk for so small an amount? For sale by Osburr .
