.WS FROM OUR EXCHANGES. No More Partie* Seeded. At a railway bamjuet in Chicago the counsel for one of the big roads, urged the formation of a new party, to be ■ levotrd «« ti 11 r«« I v to t In- d«-fi n.»«- <4 r.i i class of clean decent Republicans have ‘ rejected their proposition. They arc rallying for the Statement No. 1 candidates, who are not the ma chine candidates in thia tight The machine candidates want no ills* > euaaiun before th«' fwuple ami want an evasive pledge that will enable them to Imrtcr for a M-nator. The situation in t Irvgon is up to the Republican voters whom- intelligence, I character ami Americanism are on trial. s ■ \ law lieeause ti«ey claimed to twlievc in the vlecilon ol I tilted States senator* by direct vote of Hie people. To now Muller a few selfish machine txauies to nim ilam It out of the law would be an impeachment of both their character and intelligence, which we no not believe they w ill stand lor, and Uw result in April and in June will demon ftrate that the Republican |>arty is still the |>arty of the |**ople and not tne |M»rty of the ts»SM ami the machine. The people me to decide whether they want to go bace to the old way when a few booses named the senator. Shall your pencil mar« in the ballot booth count, or shall the barrel count in electmg the » nator? Shall the t.epublican |>arty travel bac«wards into the hai»U ol the <na chines or shall it go forward for clean progress. .«■ reform«? The ga .«• is too open and too easily understood w lien tne machine w»ll let the people name ail but the legislative ticket. The machine »ays we will name th» legislative tic ,et for you. We want to attend to the biunm-sc of inn .u g senators. Tin- Oregonian has never yet »tatev, in an uneipjtvocal manner wbetter 4 favors electing senators by the direct vote of liie people or nut. The machine manager* at heart arc op|mM*d to election of senators I tne direct vote ol the |wople ami are tryii.j. to Itim-tla n them out of It.

They hate no con victions on the subject. Cap.tai Journ al. • 'll- easy to organize the 1,600J *00 railway ■ ' pose such harmful legislation against the roads as has been enacted in many states in the past two years. "Only one man." he says, "can stop the anti railroad legislation which prevaiis. and he is the voter. We should u-rganize railway men into a compact |«>litn-al {«arty, and I believe a competent leader will arise if we sound this call now." This sort of folly would be mischiev ous if it were to tie heede«! by any con aiderable numtier of persona. But it will receive very little attention. We now have about as many |iarties its the fieople will supfiort, and several new ones are proposed. On April 2 the Populists w ill meet in St Louis and pul up a presidential ticket. At Rock Is land on May 1 the representatives of a so-called Christian party w ill nominate a ticket to stand on a platform which will say that everybody not of the Pro testant faith should I*- ttacluded from office. The Republicans will meet in Chicago on June 15, the Democrats in Denver on July 7 an«i the Prohibition ists in Columbus, Ohio, on July I... while Hearst’s National |>arty proposes to meet alxmt July 20 and name candi dates for president and vice president. One or two Socialist parties are still to hear from, but they will hold their con ventions in due time. It would seem that the |>arty field is pretty well occupied without getting the railway workers to enter it us a distinctive organization. The Republi can party can look after the interests of the railways and of all other active ties much more intelligently and effect ively than sejiarate organizations for any of them could «io. The United States Supreme Court has just set aside some laws which hampered the railways, ami which were also against the public interest, ami the court w ill continue its work along the same line. There u» no urgent need either for the establishment of a new |>arty or the town cm wi creation of any new governmental ma chinery.
