iJ'i t !! ,- 'x- Daily Capitals Journal BY HOPSR BROTHBRS, THURSDAY, OCT. 8, 1890. PRESIDENTIAL TICKET. For Independent American Bimetallism and People's Government. For President, WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, of Nebraska. For Vice-President, THOMAS WATSON, of Georgia. OREGON UNION PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS, N. L. HUTLER, Polk County, Democratic. M. L. OLMSTED, Baker County, Peoples. HARRY W ATKINS, Yamhill Co., Peoples. E. IIOFER, Marion Co., Silver Republican. A LEGAL. OPINION. (Continued from first page.) ceptcd the People's Party nomination, in wlilcli the named of the candidates for president and vice president, as before stated, were not mentioned. The question tL.cn arises, should these four names be grouped and ar ranged under the designation of Bryan and Watson electors, or should the names of N. L. Butler, Harry Watson and E. Hofer be set apart in one group as Bryan and Watson elec tors nominated by three parties, and the name of of W. II. Spaugh giouped alone as the People's Party nominee without specifying the names of the candidates for president and vice president, because of the fact that tho certificate nominating him, and which alone lie has accepted, did not contain the names of such candidates. Section 34 of the act in question provides, that all certificates of nom ination shall state such facts as are icoulrcd bv the act, and also (1) The name of the candidate. (2) The office for which lie Is nominated. (.'I) The party or political principle which lie represents expressed in not moie than three words. (4) Ills place of resi dence. It' further provides that in the case of electors of president and vice-president of the United States, the names of the candidates for president and vice-president they represent may be added to the party or political appel lation, and the names of all the nom inees for electors of president and vice-president may be UDon the same certificate of nomination. It will be observed that the latter part of the section referred to, is directory merely and not mandatory for if thn word "may" first used therein Is niandutory, then the word "may" used in the second Instance is mandatory, which in the very nature of things cannot be. It is therefore, not necessary to specify in the said certificate of nomi nation the names of the candidates for president and vice-president. In tho certificates of nomination filed by at least one of the parties, namely: Silver Republican, the names of the candidates for president and vice president arc specified as W. J. Bryan for president and T. E. Watson for vice-president. All of these parties nominated W. II. Spaugh, but he lias not as yet accepted the nominations of the Democratic Party and Silver Republicans. Section 30 of the act provides, that several different certificates of noml nntloulmay be filed nominating the same person, and that an acceptance of one of such nominations shall be sufficient and shall bo equivalent to accepting each one of said nomina tions to tho same office. It follows from this! provisions of the act that the acceptance of W II. Spaugh or tho nomination as an elector by the People's Party conven tion, Is an acceptance of all nomina tions subsequently made by any parties whatever. Section 45 of the act, prescribing the duty of tho secretary of state, provides that not more than thirty days nnd not less than twenoy-elght days before tho day fixed by law for the election, tho secretary of state Bucklen n Arnica Halve The best Salve in the world foi Cuts, Soros, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheutn, Fever and all Tetter.

It will be observed that the secre tary of state is not required any where by the act under consideration to Include in the certificate mentioned in the section last referred to, the name either of the candidate for president or vice-president, nor Is It required by section 31 of the act that the certificates of nomination shall contain such names. The statute In this respect is direct ory merely, and whether the certifi cates of nomination contained the names of the candidates for presi dent and vice-president or not, the certificate required to -be made by the secretary of state may contain such names if the secretary sees fit to In clude them within such certificate Whether this construction of the statute be correct or not, I do not deem It material, for the reason that at least one of the certificates nomi nating W. II. Spaugh as an elector, mentions tiie fact that ho is nomi nated as an elector on the Bryan and Watson ticket, and having accepted one of these nominations made, and is clearly untitled to begroupcd in the same grouping with N. L. Butler, E. Ilofcruml Harry Watkins. Suppose that the electors had all been nominated by conventions, by petitions of Individual electors, and by properly constituted committees prior to the holding of any national conventions, and before it could possi bly be known who would bo nomi nated by the several national parties as their respective candidates for president and vice-president, could It be maintained in such event that the certificates of nomination must con tain the names of the candidates for president and vice-president. The statute does not ilx the time when electors shall bo nomi nated, whether before or after the national conventions are held, but it is clearly within the discretion of the secretary of state to place In the cer tificates required to be made out by lilm for the information of voters, the names of the candidates for president and vice-president of the several na tional conventions. If any objection has been made' to the grouping of the names of N. L. Butler, E. Hofer, W. II. Spaugh and Harry Watkins In one group as Bryan and Watson electors nominated by the People's Party, the Democrats and Silver Republicans, it Is purely a technical objection and made for the purpose of gaining some undue advan tage in the election to bo held on the 3rd day of November. It Is tho purpose of the law and within its spirit and scope to arrive at the Intention of tho conventions and a fair and impartial expression of the voters, and I am Inclined to be lieve that tho construction which I c have placed upon tho statue in ques tion, would bo sustained by the courts in caso an appeal Is made to them by any ono to compel you to group the names of Butler, Hofer and Watkins in one group and the niimoof Spaugh in another by itself. Any other con struction than tills given to the law by the courts would, in my opinion, bo construed as a technical attempt to set aside tho clearly expressed wishes and will of the people In this state as announced In heir conven tions and properly appointed com mittees, nnd would be visited by their condemnation at the polls. It fol lows, therefore from wu.it I have said that it is. tho duty of tno secretary or state to group as electors for Bryan an'l Watson the names of K. L. Butler, W.II. Spaugh, E. Hofer and Harry Watkins in ono ' u ; ',,,, ., -ew , , . rr.. t- 1 - political I present T W'XKtF 1:J- group, wiui.uiu VjXTiy or political j up anil about again.

I urn informed that Mr. Sp;ugli, has never declined the nominations tendered him by the Silver Republi cans and Democrats, but that on the contrary he Is o,f tle opinion that the acceptance "of the nomination tendered him by the People's Party, Is an acceptance of all subsequent nom inations, atiti I agree with lilm in tlilsoplnion. Further than that, he has written the chairman of the Democratic State Central committee as follows: "I refer you to section 30 of the election laws of Oregon, that my accepting one nomination Is equivalent to accepting all." This letter is addressed to you and this opinion given at the request! of the Democratic State Central com mittee and the People's Party State committee. I have the Honor to re main, Yours respectfully, Geo. E. Chamueklain. THE ONLY ARGUMENT. The only argument left the McKm leyltes, is for all the loyal to shout in concert, "McKlnley will bo elected!" "It is conceded he is elected!" All the rank and file repeat this continually and with vehement savage howls, and the gamblers among them offer to bet with people who have no money to bet with. In the meantime Bryan goes on bravely, courageously, fighting the battle of Independent American Bi metallism, a principle the Republi cans concede is sound, but dare not advocate because the millionaires of America have not got quite through skinning the American people under the gold standard. And Mark Hanna's Imported Relegations are hauled to Canton by the tratnloads and bow down before McKlnley as the great American jossi It is not told how many bows or salaams each worshipper is required to make before the padlocked mummy on his protected throne. But lie is required to go away shouting until sundown of election day: "McKlnley Is elected!" This is enthusiasm put into an underscrving and un-American campaign. We will only remark in conclusion that these shouters can make a great deal of noise but noise don't count for much in the ballot box. The only argument the Salem Statesman has left against Bryan is: "Would you enjoy a panic? Wait till you declare for McKlnley and the J gold standard and try to fiood $1,C00,- 000 paper and silver currency with $100,000 000 gold?Panic won't describe it. Now we have heard from Florida and Georgia. The south and west will be solid for Bryan and Independ ent American Bimetallism. He will then need but four electoral votes, lie will pick those up running along in the grass where Coxey tramped. Chauncey Depew has broken loose. The president of the Vanderbilt railroads couldn't keep still In this light. How could any monopolist or person making $5000 a year or over? The Oregon state fair possesses re markable vitality. The people seem to want a fair even In the hardest times. The present fair Is a success, and by no artificial push. The State Fair is a remarkable suc cess, considering that there was no advertising done beyond a few posters, and that the press of the state has al most ignored It. Government by Injunction s a great fad with the gold standard people. ftyou don't do what we want you to, we'll get a judge to enjoin you, d n you." Keep your eye on that political dls cusslon' at the state fair. If It isa rep- Ultlon of last year don't no near it. Let us have fair play or none. The Discovery Saved His Life Mr. G. Callloutte, Druggist, Ileaversville, 111., says; "To Dr. King's New Discovery I owe my life Was taken with La Grippe . and tried all the physicians for miles about, 1 but of no avail and was given up and told I 1 omilil nr lit ITmrlnn Tt- l.l- XT discovery in my store I sent for 'a b6ttlc and lB?n i,s use ?nJ,r"m the first dose began to Ib'i v!lt,V"" "", "" ' "- us Int !itl..r anil nftp iieinrr lliri.

The Bryan people do not offer it. Bryan will keep up ills lick until the night of election, lie has made the best single-handed fight ever fought against an awful combination.

Secretary of State Klncaid shows staying qualities when tho vital in terests of the people are involved. Gold standard injunctions will not restrain the people from voting for Bryan.
