CHMN'S PLURALITY SEEMS CERTAIN
Vanderberg's Election in the First District is Now Conceeded
- Populists in Baker
lection day parsed off very serenly in
Atbena, notwithstanding; liquid refresh
ments could be bad in abundance at
more than one joint on Main street.
The vote . cast in North and Sooth
Athena precincts was not so heavy as
cast two years ago. r , The two precincts
stilt hold the honor of being the banner
democratic .precincts of the county, and
had other certain precincts done tneir '
duty, as in the paet),a republican ava
lanche would not have occurred.
Throughout the state, generally speak
ing, the populists h7e made gains. In
Umatilla county toe populist vote ien on
considerably and the democrats made
some gains. The republicans in Umatil
la county elect their entire ticket except
(Jillilana, lor county commissioner, wno
will be succeeded by Frazier, democrat.

THE STATE.
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

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

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.

W. H. Nosier, populist nominee for

though, if this is sufficient to elect him,
as Curry is strongly republican.

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

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?
