THE MATHEWS PLEDGE.
The Journal asserts that Mr. Matthews
ffexed te nominate on his ticket tot
CouncDman a gentleman of this city on
the following conditions:
FirstIn the event of the death 0!
Judge Williams, if the latter should b
elected Mayor, the candidate tor Coun
cilman was to pledge himself to vote tot
the man J or Mayor whom Jack Matthewi
might dictate.,,
Second He was te vote against a fran
chise tor the City 4b Suburban Railway.
It la not delicate to speculate about a
. .
man'a death. We sincerely hope tnat
Judge Williams will live many, man)
years. It is reserved for Jack Matthewi
to make a cold-blooded proposition like
that.
The condition about the City and Su
burban Railway I nothing but a hold
up. The term were not proposed to one
man alone, They were presumably pro
posed, or others like them, to all the can
didate of Mr. Matthew. The gentle
man referred to rejected the proposition
and he was left off the ticket The in
ference Is strong that Mr. Matthews now
has his wholo ticket bound to him by
pledges of a similar character.
Thla Is a Plata, statement Will Mr
1
Matthews deny its truth T
THE CITIZENS' JUSTIFICATION.
The Gregealaa yesterday again misin
terprets the Citisens movement It pro
fesses to believe that' Its only Incentive
a "desire for office," or for revenge.
Neither of these motives is the true mo
tive. Neither of hem" could be the
source of a movement of such vital
strength. No considerable body of the
people Could be Invited in such a petty
enterprise. The nam, the sentiment, the
momentum of a party already organised
might do something like that But nc
effective party of the people was ever yet
based in the beginning upon such narrow
principles. The very fact that the Citi
sens' movement haa attained its present
resistless progress is the best answer to
the charge. More than half the people
Multnomah County do not create a
party solely out of a desire for ffleerTsr
revenge. , . -r .
There is a real grievance. The Ore--,
a-onlan, however, turns Its face the othet
way, and exercises the' utmost care to
exclude from its columns the slightest
reference to the real cause of the Clti-
ren's movement It is the skeleton In the
cfoeet of the House of Matthews, which
is not willingly the subject Of polite con
venation. That Cause' Is the Matthews
Ring Convention. ,K ' t
We are told tbaTthe primaries were
fair (which theyj were not) but we can t
(ret the Oregonlan past the primaries.
Judge Williams, too, halts at that point.
They do net tell 'W that the convention
was fair. In fact, both of them have
admitted, in effect, that It was not
Now the convention nullified the pri
marie. If the primaries expressed the
will of th majority, th convention set

that will aside. If the primaries decided
that ring methods should be obliterated
from Multnomah County politics, the con
vention decided that eWythlng should be
eliminated except ring method.
And these methods are so far in ad
vance of anythtifg before known that
they aa fairly entitled te a patent as a
hew invention. Th representatives of
nearly half of the Republican party la
this County were is absolutely exclud
ed from voice or vote from consideration,
from deliberation, from. Influence In that
convention, as the Greeks from Troy.
Every candidate was nominated, every
function of the convention was perform
ed outside of the convention Itself, and
by a little ring of little politicians.
Mr. Matthews expunged half the Re
publican party and then expunged the
other half. His caucus represented no
body but himself. The delegates r who
supported his scheme were his subordi-
The Oresontan devotes considerable space to parallel col

success oj the Matthews republican ticket, and those who will

up unnecessary space. We can put our notion in a nutshell

nates. The majority who voted for them
at the primaries were not represented by
them. They were only; the-delegates of
Mr. Matthews. '
Within party' lttiesr the disfranchised
Republicans were remediless. Demo
crats, who certainly nave as muoa inter
est in good local government, as others,
saw the county aboutto be delivered
Into the hands of an irresponsible ring,
without all hope of success. The spirit
of cltlsensbip arose above the spirit of
party, and the Citizen' movement begat
its march.
The Oregon lan may fight the move
ment and berate it but the time haa gone
by to belittle it And It will learn. If it
eeks to know, that th true cause of the
Citisens' movement is the Matthews Ring
Convention.

REPORTING POLITICAL MEETING
On Saturday morning: en esteemed con
temporary contained a telegrapbld dis
patch which tended to convey the Im
pression that George E. Chamberlain re
ceived a "frost" at Pendleton. Ia a per
sonal letter to- a member of The Journal
staff from an estimable and reliable citi
zen of Pendleton was mad the assertion
that such an enormous crowd of people
gathered at the Court House In that city
that an, overflow meeting was held In the
Opera House. It Was Also Intimated in
the ; dispatch referred. to' thiat a.merej
handful of people met Mr. Chamberlain
at the train when he arrived from Athena
on Friday afternoon.'' The same estima
ble and reliable Pendleton gentleman, in
his personal letter to the member of The
Journal staff asserts that SUM people met
M. C-hamberiain at tha traifc V :

dletoa ctusea writing the personal letter

presume, tor the sake of argument thai

for the sake of argument cut down

Twenty-five per cent of tts total popula
tion met George- Chamberlain at the
train. According to what system of logic
can it be argued that that constitutes
a "frost r' Suppose that 25,000 people, one-
fourth of Portland's population, met any
body at the Union station, would uiat
constitute a "frost?" . And if that would
not be a "frost," is it not equally true
that the Pendleton reception waa not a
"frost." As a matter ot fact the Jour
nal would be under obligations to some
bright young man if be would reason
out in some way that the Pendleton cor
respondent of the esteemed contempo
rary is not himself a certain' kind of
newspaper "frost" and to put the state-
men, rather mildly, at least in' need of
instruction in the art of political re
porting.
JACK MATHEWS HORNETS NEST
The publication in the Journal last week
of an interview with Chairman Jack
Matthews, ef the Republican Stat Cen
tral CwftmTWee,' end '""WalterTyou,'' Pri
vate Beeretary of Governor Oeer, stirred
up a hornet's nest-among the brethren
of the Matthews atrip of politics. It
had no sooner appeared In print and The
Journal gone Into the hands ot the read-
era, than Governor Qeer'a friends begun
to inquire what sort of political insanity
had taken possession of the erstwhile as
tute Mr. Matthew. Th friends of Mr.
Fulton wanted to take Mr. Matthews by
the ears, and the supporters of Mr. Fur
nhm and Williamson and their combine
went about with political murder in their
hearts. Ia the first place, . Governor
Oeer's friends saw In the attitude of Mr.
Matthewa an explicit promise of opposi
tion to their candidate for United States
Senator. The friends ot Mr. Fulton saw
that he was being used as a cats paw to
pull political chestnuts from th fire for
some unknown candidate for the Senate,
and Messrs, Furnish and Williamson and
their friends were made a target of rapid
fir guns loaded with embarrassing in
terrogatories.
As a matter of fact the interview pub
lished In The Journal caused no end of
trouble to the accompltehed Mr. Mat
thews, and those who inhabit the Re
publican State Central Committee's head
quarters. The Journal desire to express
its sympathy with those gentlemen, but
feels compelled to add that ft must pub
lish the news.
If Mr. Matthews shall succeed In elect
ing Mr. Charles W. Fulton to the Unit
ed Stat Senate, Mr. Matthews and the
Columbia River will b alike la one parr
ttcularv: They will both be damned.
