HERE IS LOGIC FOR YOU.
Vote Against Ellis But Vote for Bennett
for the Same Reason.
LET US HAVE A STRAIGHT VOTE.
Voters of the second district, who
wish to Bend to congress a man who
will support frcc'colnaKo of sliver, and
who, through his political associations
and the help of n powerful party, will
bo able to do something for free coin
ago of silver, should vote for Bennett,
the Democratic nominee.
The Populist nominee Is also a free
silver man, but this party Is too weak
to do anything for silver, and. votes
thrown fdr him will therefore be
thrown away.
As forEllls.the Republican nominee,
though ho Is a free-silver man, ho can
do nothlug for silver; since tho Repub
lican party Is Inflexibly opposed to free
colnago of silver, and Ellis at Wash
Ihgton finds himself practically alone.
Tho Republican vote In tho house
recently was 184 against silver, to 25
for it, Tho Republican party there
fore will do nothing for free coinage
of sliver, and Ellis, In voting for sil
ver Is going against tho policy and
and purpose of his party.
They who wish to bring about free
colnago of silver, therefore, should
vote for tho candidate of a party that
is disposed to promote that measure.
The Populists aro too weak to do any
thing. Their strength In congress Is
really nothing. The only way, there
fore, by which tho voter .who desires
free coinage can contribute to that
result Is through support of Demo
crats who aro committed to the silver
cause.
Every votor, therefore, of the sec
ond district, who thinks it important
that free coinage of silver bo carried,
should vote for Bennett, the demo
cratic nominee. lie alone Is In posi
tion to render available scrvlro to
that cause.
Likewise, every voter who opposes
freo colnago of silver should rcf uso to
vote for Ellis, because Ellis supports
free coinage, as a demagogue, when
his party is against It; and it is tltno
measures were taken to enforce honest
dealing on thjs all-Important subject.
Gold-standard men cannot vote for
Ellis, because they detest false pre
tenses, and know how important It Is
that the attack in congress on the
money standard shall cease. Silver
standard men should not vote for
Ellis, because he can do their cause no
good, and they cannot wish to be
fooled and deceived. If they wish to
make their votes for silver effective,
Bennett Is their man.
Honest aud straightforward dealing
in this matter, as in all others, Is the
essential thing. Let us hare an crid
of pretenses, delusions and humbugs,
so that votes may bo placed Just where
they belong. Oregonlan, April 20,
Ellis and Tonguo aro tho Oregon
Republican nominees for congress on
the national bimetallic platform of
1802. If tho Oregonlan is a Repub
lican paper, and If It btlll has Influ
ence with Republicans, it must know
that its advice to the silver Republic
ans in Eastern Oregon will also be
considered advice to silver Republic
ans in "Western Oregon. Tho logic or
tho above Is sclf-contrndlotory. "What
the Oregonlan Is really working for Is
to defeat both Republican congress,
men from Oregon, and Senator Mitch
ell, as well. Tho pcoplo will not obey
its command In this respect. They
will elect tho very men the Oregonlan
would destroy, because it cannot rulo
them. Editor Journal.1
Harvey Scott is In favor ot execu
tions. Mrs. Maybrlck was not hanged
quickly enough to suit; her friends
are ho rash ns to hopo she may never
be hauged. That is an outrage when
there Is n chance to hang a woman
and It i s not done! That is a text for
the Oregonlan to grind tapeworm
editorials upon, calling for the enforce
ment of English law. Harvey Scott,
tho Portland editor, Is never quite
satisfied with American law. He
wants English law, because It is moro
severe, becauso more pcoplo aro hung,
moro aro imprisoned, fewer are par
doned. So poor Mrs. Maybrlck catches
it away off hero In Oregon. She
should be hung and so should all her
friends bo hung for over- daring to
hope for mercy l
The Oregonlan couldn't dictate the
money plunk of the Republican plat
form, and becauso of that fact Is very
wrathy and will use its Influence to
defeat the party, being already en
gaged In making war upon Mr. Ellis,
the congressional nominee from the
second district. It wants an cxcluslvo
gold standard man to come out and
run against Ellis. Well, suppose that
were done; and then suppose all favor-
nolo to silver in the first district
should swing to Vanderberg or Myers,
where would Mr. Tongue be? The
retaliation idea has defeated many a
good man outside of Oregon and it
may do It here. As a promoter of the
best Interests of the Republican party,
the Oregonlan knocks them all silly.
Valley Transcript.
The Statesman should let up on Its
abuse of Blnger Hermann. It made
Mr. Ford's candidacy Impossible. It
should not embaraw Mr. Tongue. In
a private letter received from Mr.
nermann, he has expressed the hope
that congress will adjourn early
enough to allow him to return home
and "take part In the campaign for
Mr. TouKue's election." What more
does the Statesman want?
Proposed Fusion in Georgia.
There Is more than a possibility
that the Republicans and Populists
of Georgia will this year try to cap
ture the state, as tho Republicans
and Populists ot North Carolina capt
ured that state In the last election.
Talk of fusion has gone on until 1
there Is a probability that It will be
effected, It, indeed, It has uot already
been agreed upon. C. II. Ellington
ex-prcsldent of the state alliance, and
Johu T. West aro both In touch with
rPntu r.itorii titm la tlin liua rf tlin
Populist In the state. Mr. Ellington
and Mr. West have been Interviewed
by the Atlanta Journal, and both ex
press themselves in favor of fusion.
This they should not do without tho
boss's consent to the scheme.
Nominally the fusion Is to bo upon
tho stuto issue of honest elections,
while acsually It will bo In tho Inter
est of free silver and a division of the
spoils. It Is said tho plan Is to give
the Republicans tho governor to suc
ceed to Atkinson, and the Populist
tho senator to succeed Gordon. The
Journal'scorrcspondcnt at Thomson,
who saw Ellington and West says tho
deal has been made and that nil that
Is lacking now is a completion of tho
details nnd the rati Heat Ion of tho
bargain by the bosses of the respective
parties.
The Illinois legislature has passed
a primary law. One weak point Is
that tlir central-committee of parties
may elect whether to hold their pri
maries under tho provisions of tho
now' law or not. Perhaps this Is a
necessary trlbuto paid to bosslsm, In
order to secure tho passugo of tho law
and likely tho observance will bo
made mandatory at a subsequent leg
islature. A good point Is the enforced
division of primary voting districts,
so that not more than 800 otcrs will
be lnadlstrct. Canvass of tho votes
must bo publicly conducted. Oregon
lan The abovo from a Portland paper Is
written by tho editor with a knowl
edge that Oregon has ulxnit tho worst
primary law that could bo drawn. It
was drawn to legalize twenty years of
Jo Simon's corrupt practices in that
city.
Tho Republican party In Oregon is
In a bad way. Tho truth must bo
told. It Is without leadership for the
people, and It Is without a respectable
machine leadership. Either of theso
may develop, however. In tho mean
time the people arc preparing to act.
They will stand by men who do their
duty and who give tho peoplo to un
derstand that they aro with them on
the vital principles of protection and
genuine bimetallism. To theso prin
ciples tho Republican party stands
committed without leadership.
Again thecommlttco on flro and
water appoint an engineer without
consulting Fire Chief Hutton. It is
bclloved that Fire Chief Hutton un
derstands his business. Tho property
owners have confidence in Mr.Hutton.
Then why should tho commlttco se
lect men for him unless ho has confi
dence in them? It is time to quit
fooling with this question If wo are
to have an eniclent Fire Department
and low rates of insurance.

CLEVELAND AND HUB8ELL
Boston, April 21.Jj-Wlth tin enthu
siasm almost surpassing that noted at
the recent state convention of tho
Republicans of Massachusetts, when
Thomas B. Reed was endorsed ns n
presidential candidate, the Democrats
of this stato today sot, their approval
upon Cleveland for president, and
named ex-Governor William Russell
us their choice for nomination to be
his successor.
CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS.
John E. Thnyer, of Worcester, tho
permanent chairman In his address
took ground against freo colnago of
silver. "The True Interests of all our
people," ho said, "who cannot con
stantly imd closely observo tho money
market, Is to have every dollar Issued
or authorized by government to bo at
times and in all Its uses an exact un
changing equivalent, Hot only In debt
paying, but In tho purchasing powor
of any dollar. Of what avail Is It to
pass resolutions for n slnglo gold
standard If, as It now.nppeurs tsqulto
probable, McKlnley Is to recclvo tho
nomination for president. The pco
plo well know that MoKlnley has a
long, consistent nnd uninterrupted
record, while in congress, favorable
to silver." Thayer denounced tho
American Protective association
which he compared to "fungus growth
that sprang from and took root, flour
ished nnd fructlllcd In tho very heart
of tho Republican party." Thnyer
closed his address with an eulogy
upon the administration of President
Cleveland.
RUSSELL KOU PRESIDENT.
At the mention of William Eustls
Russell's name, as the choice of tho
Democracy for president, a mighty
cheer went up, which was repeated
again nnd again.
CLEVELAND A CANDIDATE.
Chicago, April 21. In an Interview
today comptroller of tho currency Eck
les said: "I do uot know positively
about President Cleveland's inten
tions or wishes relative to tho presi
dency, but my Impression is, ho feels
that thcro Is a reason why ho should
bo willing to enter another president
ial canvass."
THE RHODE ISLAND DEMOCRATS
Providence, R. I. April 21. Tho
Democratic convention to choose
eight delegates for the .national con
vention, assembled today. There was
but little enthusiasm and many towns
not represented. The platform
adopted endorses tho administration
of Grovcr Cleveland. It centinues:
"It Is vital to the Interests of our
people that there should bo no de
parture from the gold standard to
which all money, whether gold, silver,
or paper should conform, and wo arc
opposed to freo colnago of silver until
at least four of tho great powers of
tho western world shall como to an
International agreement."
RHODE ISLAND FOR RUSSELL.
The platforms commends to tho
delegates at the Chicago convention
one who will make an ideal president,
William E. RusmII of Massachusetts.
Mention of Ex-Governor Russell's
name called forth a great demonstru-tlon.

ANTI-SILVER DEMOCRATS.
Dallas, Tex., April 21. Tho Texas
Democrats opposed to silver, met In n
state conference at Dallas today. Up
wards of three hundred delegates nro
present. It looks ns if n full state
ticket, congressional candidates, and
IKisslbly members of the legislature
will be determined on, If the national
convention adopts an antl-rrco silver
platform.
TACOMA'S MAYOR.

Fawcett hns quulltlcd as mayor with

tho courts for seating him.

Walter Lyon writes in tho Oregon
Inn teday:
Tho governor today mado a personal
Inspection of the stato penitentiary

plated expenditures In tho way of Im
provements. Superintendent Gilbert
maintains that tho proper oversight
of tho premises requires a policy dif
ferent from that pursued by his prede
cessor. It will bo romemborcd ex
Superintendent Downing turned back
Into tho state treasury part of tho
ponltcntlary appropriation. This It
.Is claimed was done to tho neglect of
needed repairs and Improvements.
Tho decayed condition of tho wooden
flumo, rickety sheds, the weather
beaten window frames of tho hos
pital, a partly caved-ln bakcoven,
and a lack of drainage is
pointed out us evidence. Con
siderable repairing -has boon done by
Superintendent Gilbert. To mako It
posslblo to drain tho penitentiary
lauds ho has mado a ditch through
tho asylum lands udajucent, nnd at a
lower loyel. Tho ditch Is about three
fourths of a mile long, llvo feet wldo
at tho top, and three feet at tho bot
tom.wlth an average depth of four feet
It Is tho intention to mako this tho
outlet for a system or tiling by means
of which tho penitentiary farm Is to
bo thoroughly drained. Mr. Gilbert
estimates that by allowing repairing
and needed improvements to go by
default, of tho $25,000 gcnoral appro
priation, ho could turn back from
$8000 to 10,000 this year. Of tho $18,000
appropriated by tho last legislature,
only $300 moro than one-half has
been used to date. This includes
pald-for eatables to last until July.
Tho approprlrtlons for general
purposes by tho legislature of 180.1
was WO.OOO. Out of that appropria
tion each discharged convict was al
lowed $Q In cash, n $15 suit of clothes,
and mileage to some destination
within. tho stato. Tho last, legisla
ture, fulling to mako any provisions
for released prisoners, tl;? manage
ment has tho advantage of tho $5,
and about $8 on each suit, besides tho
mllcugo expense, making approxi
mately $20 on each released convict.
During tho year the saving thus mado
Is something over $2000.
Loss of Sheep,
Speaking of tho lots sustained to
heep raisers, occasioned by tho In
clemency of tho weather, tho Hcpp
nor Gazette says:
"N. A. Kellcy says he will not save
over 75 to 80 per cent but many think
they will bo fortunate If they got out
with -10 to CO per cent. William Poiin
land, who has 30,000 head of sheep,
will loso not less than 7000 to 8000
head of lambs."
