SORE REPUBLICANS
DISSATISFIED WITH TEE STATE
CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
Headquarters Opened On Same Floor
With Jonathan Bourne and
His Politicians.
Westgate
get into
Portland, May 17. Special Corres
pondeuco. There is no gainsaying tbe
fact that a feeling of dissatinfaction
pervades republioau circles, over tbe
organization of the state ceutral com
mittee. This was evident from the
start, bat as time goei on a ad a little
leaks here and there a fellow doesn't
bavo to carry an ear trumpet to find
out that some of the brethren are sore
and sour to the middle.
Two things happened right after
Chairman Westgate bad got through
with the IrVington horse sale and set
tled down to business. One was tbe
selootioo of republican state bead
quarters and the other was the em
ployment of a secretray of tbe state
committee.
In tbe first place Mr.
tumbled all over himself to
tbe Bourne camp. He got there and
not only that, but be landed tbe whole
organization witbin the Bourne fold.
Bourne was consulted about every
thing and iu order to make tho pro
cess of consultation more convenient
tbe state committee's headquarters
were opened on the same iloor and ad
joining those occupied by Jonathan
Bourno uud bis attachment of paid
politicians.
This, locally at least, for no one
else, scarcely, knows anything about
it, caused considerable commeut. An
other cause for alarm and one which
Veterinarian Withycombe aud bis
friends look upon with all kinds of
distrust, is the appointment by West
gate of Colonel Schuyler Colfax Spen
cer as secretary of tbe state commit
tee. This is especially distasteful . to
the followers of Withycombe, for tbe
roasou that Spouoer is a Simon man
of the dyed-in-tho-wool stripe and
throughout tbe primary oampaign
supportod Tull Timothy Geer with a
vim that was more than merely polit
ical. The appointment of Spencer
occasioned no little surprise and much
dissatisfied commeut on tbe part of
Withycombe campaign boostors.
It's protty late to talk about tbe
faotioual politics that ragod ut the
time of the organization of tbe state
committeo,. but here as iu other
thingj done in star chain bor, tho facts
have begun to leak out.
- If evor tbe baud of tho old Carey -Matthews
inuohino appeared in any
thing it was iu the organization of
that committee. The Simon interests
triod bard to laud a man at tbe bead
of the committee and iu turn advauo
od tho caudidacy of Ueorgo A. Steel,
Wallace MoCuuiant, Major Kennedy
and other staunch Simon adherents,
but they were turned down flat by the
Bourno crowd, whose sympathies are
with tbe Curey-Muttbews-Mitobell
aud tho old factional politioal align
ment. This oreated some considerable fool
ing among the Smiou people, whiob
even tho sop thrown to thorn iu the
selootion of Colonel Spencer as soore-.
tary hasn't cooled off.
Dr. Witiiyoombe sturted bis oatu
pnign boomlot this week. It is a rath
er tamo adair, notwithstanding nil
tbut "was suid to the contrary. The
doctor makes a good impression for he
is a uico man, but he has tailed yet
to give out tho idea that be is guber
natorial timber. II o is a pleasant
kiud of man, but hasn't been gifted
by naturo with uu overabundance ot
force. ' He is somewhat popular with
ooituin farmers who huve met hi in
during the official trips through tho
state as head of tho Agricultural Col
lege Experimeut station; trips, too,
that were not eutirely divorced from
politics, for the doctor played tho
game well.
Dr. Witiiyoombe is oarryiug on his
campaign with the disadvantage of
runuiug against a man who has been
triod. The dootor may promise re
forms, but these will fall upon ears ot
people who know that the presout gov
ernor has made good in tho Hue of
conservative aud dooeut refoim.
The record of the old sohool laud
ring under former administrations aud
the suddeuuess with which Governor
Chumborluiu set himself to work to
straighten it out aud tbo effectiveness
with which it was straightened out
are not forgotteu.
Aud another thing not forgotteu is
the1 good work of Gov. Chauiberlaiu
whuu ho blocked tbe game of the Mat
thews legislature in its attempts to
fastou ou the taxpayers u million dol
lor appropriation bill fullof graft aud
wrath-provoking waste of the people's
money.
Governor Chuuiberlaiu's woik dur
ing that legislature made him the
friend of every lover of fair play iu
the state. He served notice on tbe
legislature that if it attempted to vote
away large sums of money with au
emergency clause attached, thus pre
venting the people from exercising tbe
right of referendum be would veto the
bill. The bill voted by the legisla
ture, whioh was niaohiue dominated
irom Matthews Speaker to Matthews'
president of the senate, was a wasteful
measure, but it was held up, aa it of
right should, by referendum. AU
that pi evented the legislature from
fostering tbe whole gigantio graft
ou tho people wus tho fact that Oreg
on bad a governor who bad the inter
ests of tbe state euongh at heart and
bad tbe nerve to stand his ground and
say to tbe legislature that he would
veto tbe bill if it didn't give tbe peo
ple a chance.
Governor Cbamberlaiu's part in
holding down tbe lid on tbe last leg
islature has converted many a fair
minded man to tbe policy of having
a governor of different politioal
views than the legislature. It is a
foregone conclusion that bad Oregon
had a machine-ruled governor in the
executive office, of tbe stripe tbe ma
chiue makes it a point to put in office,
not one measuro of vicious legislation
would have been curbed.
