A DKMOURATIO VKTO.
Governor Frauds, of Missouri,
bus vetoed the Australian ballot lmv
because of the provision which al
lows u certain number of peoplo of
any party to put up a ticket aud
have it printed on tho ballot. Tho
St. Louis Pepublic, (Dem.) uys:
"If the party in power is to be al
lowed to say what patty fchnll and
what shall not oppose It, there Is nu
end of party government ami of
popular government. The demo
cratic party was once a "a quasi
party" which would have been sup
pressed, under the governor's theory
of government, as impertinent, cal
culated to make tho ticket bulky
and to be "tiresome" to tho voter.
Tho paternal interest iu the health
and physical condition of tho citizen
w hich would restrict the number of
names he is allowed to choose from,
on tuo ground tuat it mora were
printed for his consideration they
would be "tiresome" to him, would
have preveuted the formation of any
of the great parties in American
history. Such paternal solicitude is
out of place In Missouri. Maintain
ing liberty Is a tiresome busiuess,
but Missouriaus aro a stalwart lot,
not readily exhausted in making
the effort, and they will goon mak
ing it until and after tho Aus
tralian ballot system is perfected in
its own spirit, aud not made uu in
strumentality thiough which one or
two officials can exclude from u
ticket tho names of qualified citizens
of the state who wishto runfor olllce.
Unless a man otherwise qualified for
office has been convicted of an in
famous crime, his constitutional
standing as a caudldato before tho
people of the state is not Inferior to
that of the nominee of any party
whatever, no matter how small his
preliminary indorsement. Tako
away this and the entire democratic
system falls. Eut It cannot be taken
away. The democratic party will
resist all attempts to do it, as it has
shown In tho passage of the act
which the goyernor lias so thought
lessly vetoed."
then kept well cultivated there can
be but ore result as a rule. On the
contrary, If tho other conditions
prevail, weeds will bo the result.
Tho family tieo which should bear
fiult for the healing of the race will
bring nothing but leaves and often
worse. Thero are noblo exceptions
fotho rule, but the K. G. Idea
would reverse tho exceptions into
the rule. It Is u significant sign
that intelligent and progressive
uiotheis propose to make a study of
childhood.

Tho ladies of Salem who consti
tute tho committee on decorntlou on
the occasion of President Huriison's
visit, have wisely resolved to rely
mainly on wild flowers. In Oregon
there Is a rich array of these lloral
beuutk'b. Whllo tho orchards nre
dressed In the snow-banks of fruit
blossoms, so that the bills look like
brides treading upon snowy carpets,
the meadows are allame with the
royal purple of tho camas Illy, and
the forests blaze with pyramids of
doc wood blossoms. Tho lowly dec
orations of field and lawn aro the
dandelion, violets, heart's-ease, trll
lum and lamb-tongue?), whllo thou
sands of roses aro rt'clnc with each
other to expand their swelling buds
In time to creet the President. Ver
ily Oregon la tho home of tho wild
flower, and the wild flower will bo a
novelty as well as a rarity that will
moio than hold Its own with tho
cultivated. The western portico of
the stato houso will bo literally
coyered with flowers. Ilaiii or
shine, they will greet tho presiden
tial party and speuk with their
myriad velvet lips and porfumed
breath for the climate and peoplo of
Oregon, with an eloquence not horn
of artificial human greatness, but as
tho voice of nature lu her loveliest
array. Tlio wild Mowers ot uregon
will make tho President's visit to
Oregon one that he will never forget.

The Oregonian lias had Us usual
Coos bay grapevine specl'tl that the
steam schooner Geo. II. Chtinco was
bar bound at Yauuina bay. This ns
usual is a nilsiepnsentation. The
truth Is, that last "Wednesday she
had laid up at Alsea buy, Waldport.
just a week bar bound, and not
much show of getting oil. Coming
from Portland tho Chance put Into
Newport and discharged freight,
getting out with no delay. The
persistent lying about Yaquina to
advanco Coos bay interests will not
help Unit region nor tho Oregonlan.
The general opinion of seamen is
that Ynquina bar is fully as good
if not better than tho bar at Coos
bnv, aud both are better than Alsea
Tho facts aro best in nil these mat
ters, we think. There Is 112 to 11
feet of water on Alsea bar at ordi
nary high tide. Tho Chanco is re
ported drawing 10 to 11 feet. This
paper has no Interest In any of the
harbors and only seeks to prevent
injustice to any.

Ex-State Treasurer Webb, of
Salem, was interviewed by tho Port
land Telegium:
"Who do you think will be the
nominees for piesidentV ho was
asked.
Mr. Webb, with a slijnifleaut
shako of hid iiead, said: "Well, it
won't be Cleveland. His ideas on
the stiver question do not suit tho
West, aud this region of country
must bo recognized.''
That is a sound proposition. Tho
West must bo recognized. Wall
street nlouo must not be permitted to
dictate the whole financial policy
of this government. Wall street
does not caro whether tho policy of
this country is for a reventio or a
protective tarrfl to long as it cun
Hhnne tho llnnnolal polloy. It Is
high llmo the West understood this.
It is a sound proposition, and all
Western men should see tho Im
portance of this. Tho Wall street

They aro afraid of free sliver. Tlioy
want to force tho Issue In future en

A M'lUNMIV CONVKKT.
A prominent lUiodo Island demo,
crat has como out for protection to
home industries. In a letter dated
Pawturkct, It. I., March 20, 1801,
addressed to Mr. Charles K, Sexton,
secretary of the democratic city com
mittee, ho writes: "Permit mo,
through you, to present my resigna
tion as a member of tho democratic
committee. Tho undersigned Is a
tariff reformer. Tho republican and
democratic parties aro both turlfl ie-
formers. Tho distinction between
both on the question is ouo of meth
od. Tho republican method Is by
protection, supplemented by Its
natural and logical complement,
reciprocity. Tho writer had the
honor and prllilego to hear Mr. Mc
Kinley at tho young men's republi
can club, of Providence. That
political lineal descendant of Hamil
ton, Clay and Webster made tho
most masterly speech, upon the tariff
question thut Khodo Island has
ever heard. Tho presentation of the
topic from tho standpoint of protec
tion was complete. In matter, form
and delivery It was ull but perfect.
Its force, weight and urgunionts
are Incontestable and unanswerable.
It has left no doubt in tho writer's
mind that protection Is tho life-line
along which tho United Statea with
leust Injury to Itself must follow In
Its march toward ultimate free trude
with ull the nations. Coming to
such a conclusion tho Nutlonul ques
tion which has been uud Is tho chief

"But is John L. going to fight

"No. Sullivan Is no longer in
