Bat a a matter of interest, and to be used by any who wish to know the msgnanimity of the republican par ty toward ex-rebels, here is a par-.i- tial list of Johnnies who have held government positions: -- .

'There is no doubt but that a large number of Democrats will fol low Governor Pennoyer' into the PeopTe'sr party, which is today the best organized and most active party in the state. Governor Pen noyer is as- likely as not to take the stuinp for the People's party. The fJemocratic party cannot be said to hate a state organization. It is the People's party that is the potent factor Republicans must f;ie, as it is almost certain to poll a larger vote than the Democrais. Demo cracy as a political organization has almost ceased to exist in Oregon."- Salem Journal. (Rep.) Ha! iLt! IIAf For more thai?- two dreades the people have suffered the wrongs in flicted upon them - and they have come to the point where there lunst be a -change, and they ore going to have it.

" We woiild not be at all surprised to see Harri son's campaign collapse before the ides of November, and the Democrats- are already reduced to the ex tremity of felying upon the House to seat Grovar Cleveland. The peo ple are ripe for a change and. it is coming. Let our reform friends redoxtble their efforts and fight "for victory not merely of. party, but principles. . , , , . r, . A FAKE- It is how stated on good author ity, and we hare the abundant proof on our table, that the great Berg man tragedy ot the Homestead iron district wa3 a fake of the very first water. Fnck was not hurt and the attack was planned to create sym wathy. This trick on the public Was needed bv. the millionaire conspir ators against the American repub lic. - The mistaken easy victory over organized labor - by long plan ned and expensive fortifications and armed boats was checked. "Clear the track, we are Pinkertons." had failed to terrorise the peaceful but brave citizens of Homestead. Pink erton'8 thugs ..were captives. Car negie and Frick bit their nails in raie. The best card must be play ed to stop public sympathy and prevent reaction. JJergman was brought on the scene with great flourish to fire' a jew blank shots, and a ; free newspaper advrrtise uient was had for the millionaire cause through all America and' Eu rope. : f . ? .: .," : ' - Wbai effect the realization of the Bergman swindle will have upon the degraded American is hard to tell- Political corruption seems to have destroyed bis moral courage and left -him .without the power of virtuous indignation. Other amuse ments will" be brought forward in time as needed to delude him, by the organized wealthy conspirators, whose plan to destroy the farmer and artisan, and afterwards cat up the small income idle class lacks no detail in its completeness. Alter the shooting, stabbint arid all the rest of the fussJFrick laid on his lounge and directed every thing to be dono. His surgeons next morning announced that balls had passed through his neck close to the spine, down under the shoul der blade and. were cutout. Va rious other balls had crossed in different directions, and several Atabs in the side completed the list of hi3 wounds. In addition to all this his pulse was normal, a thing unknown to medical science, and an impossibility. Newspapers blazed with the trag edy and sold in thousauds. Berg man was serene and laughed and joked with the reporters who visited him in Drison. A fewdavs of retire ment and Frick was-announced as better His dreadful wounds healed more rapidly than the magic touch of niedaevnl magicians. He sudden ly, appeared at his .flice in full health. Wonderful man ; great physical strength ; said the capital istic press of Pittsburgh.- ' No scars were visible beneath his collar, and the hero of twentyonc strikes was miraculously sated. Two .much champagne caused an alderman and some of the Carnegie and Frick oflioials to joke unguard ingly a few nights since, over the success of tho Bergman trick on the public. Unfortunately for them it was overheard. The clerks also give knowing winks at each other. With all their silence the truth lias been confidently whispered to friends. The CotFcyville dynamite plot to bill the Vincents Is enlarg ing to a national scale, and the shameless effrontery of the fnonop olibts' agents in ollice cliil?ted then in rewarding the wcn)d-le as sassins, rs now shown by insulting a credulous public with so shallow a fake as the Bergman incident.

IVachrs and plums are more plentiful in the markets of Portland than expected, and prices for fine fruit will not be so high aa at one time predicted. It is a remarkable fact that the Ohio State Food Commissioner, iu his official examination of baking powders, after exception the Royal, found no one to contain less than ten per cent, of impurities. The Royal was found practically pure. The number of applications for tickets to the threo slogging matches at New Orleans so far gives as surance of a crowded arena at each fight. Already there have been sold $40,000 worth of scat , ex clusive of the general admission tickeU, the sale of which will not begin until the 8th of September. A 40-acre field of wheat, owned by H.

A larger attendance is tins .year at tne schools than ever before. " Reports' come from towns down the valley that counterfeiters are circulating bogus coins and green backs in considerable quantity. Persons handling money these times would do well to keep , their eyes open. In some places they are using the old dodge by changing a two dollar bill to a 10, by placing a fig ure ten from a cigar-stamp on a two dollar bill, which when the work is skillfully done it said that one can hardly tell the difference. The bo gus silver coins are lighter than irenuino and have slick feeling and can be detected by their ring. , In some instances the doctored two dollar bills have passed as ten dol lar bills through many hands be fore noticed.

Weaver for president of the UniteA States by the Omaha convention nos natural, for G.-neral Weaver has be:D the fnrentost man connected with the movement. His regulation is national, for ho has been before the country iii the people's champion for over ten years. His memorable agitation for cheap mtmey whihs tho nominee of the Green back party in 1SS9 will bo recalled by every voter. His remarkable record n congress, VUere, single handed, he compelled tha two parties in control of the lower. hou&a to recognise his priuciplw. and his val iant and er.ccoifnl attack on ton Public? Land Strip U known to all who have fol lowed tho actions of coasp-eea for lb past twelve years. His national canTaa in HSO dentori strsled that ho id a speaker and writer of a very high order. General Weaver's strong point is that he placee principle above party disci pline: that u the renacu why he ap peared in congrwa firnna a Republican, later aa a Democrat and for the third time aa a thirJ party or Greenback ad vocate. General Weaver was born fifty-aii year ago la Dayton. O.f whnre he was educated in the public schools. Ho vu graduated in 1S51 from tho law chooJ of the University of Ohio at Cincinnati. He practiced ltw after being admitted to the bar until the brooking oct of the ctvil war in 1861, wben he enlitd as private iu the Second Iowa infantry, having removed from Ohio son sf tar his ail minion to the bur i! his native state. Successive promotions for (roliant coo duct found hint ia breveited brigo- fiicr general. Since the war be has d;-J7tod into joumali.4n and is r-t present editor of the Iowa Tribune iu Do Moines. G on oral Weaver first held e-Gcfl in 1SG6, when he was clectud district attor ney of tho Second judicial district of th atate. Tho next year lie was appointed to th ro venue service by ' President Johnson. His national career began in the For ty-sixth congresa. to which he was elect, ed after a brilliant campaign. He re appeared in the Forty-ninth conicrtws. and was re-elected to the Fiftieth con gress. It was in the Litter body, in the year 1S87, that General Weaver held the house In his famous deadlock. His superior qualities modo it easy for him to compel a hearing such aa would have taken a lesser man many terms to (rain, livery device was reeortexl to py the congressional upholders of the power to suppress tho member from Iowa, but his resource wore limitless, and disc a -siona upon finance resalted which at tracted the attention of the whole na tion and opened the eyes of hundreds of thousands of voters to the viciousneua of the existing financial system. It must not be forgotten that General Weaver left a lucrative and growing practice at the bar to engage in the uuromunerative pioneer work of reform. He has never flogged in his course and stands today the champion of a new order of things. The dominant desire of his life fa to assist in creating conditions under which the Btrngglo for existence for tho major ity may be lightened. He is a respected and admired authority on various prob lems of industrial reform, and has writ ten several books that are standard in their treatment of these vital sul-jecta. His unquestioned popularity makei him a formidublo candidate for the other parties. James G. Fields, the candidate for vice president Of tho People's party, is not an unknown inau. . For thirty years he has been a lawyer of considerable prominence in Virginia, his nativestate. He is known throughout the country as a prominont Baptist, having beeu iden tified with that denominatiou for nearly fifty years. During thtit time he has held several important offices in the Sliiloh Baptist association and was for several years its moderator. He has 'plso been a delegate to tho national meetings of the denomination. His pop olarity in his nativestate way bo judged from tho fact that ho was elected attor ney general on tho stale ticket without any opposition, the other party declin ing to put a candidate in the field against him. Ha was born Feb. 81, 1828, in Cul peper connty. Va., and there grew to manhood. Ho was trained for tho law, which has been his life profession, and at an early age he went iuto politics. Of courso be was a Democrat Ho has hold two offices. In 185!) he was ap pointed the commonwealth's attorney for Culpoper county, aud iu 1877 he was appointed by the governor to fill an unexpired term as attorney general for the state of Virginia. He was elected to that office in November of 1877 for a full term of four years ending with 1881. He enlisted in tho Confederate army on April 17, lliul, resigning nia position as county attorney for that, purpose. Ho was one of the famous Culpeper minute men who carried a banner with Latest U.
