A Portland paper siy: To state
more sped llcally. It Is desired to have
a Republican, a Democrat and a Pop
ulist Judge at cich pilllnztxnth In
stead of two KupuWIains and one
Democrat or vice vewa, as has been
the cao hereloforc. In order that
this kind of legislation may obtain a
favorable consideration In a Republi
can house It Is deemed necessary, by
the Populists and Democrat, to have
tho speaker and thus the committees
with them. It Is too well known that
there are but two men In the Oregon
legislature, who really pass laws, so to
pcak, tho rcmalng88 members merely
stand In 6o as to obtain favorable con
sideration of some pet measures of
their own. If a hill Is not wantert oy
tho president of the senate or the
speaker of tho house, it Is usually
smothered In committee or reported
adversely, and that invariably settles
Its fate, It will be seen at a glance,

Editor Journal: We see how
General James li. Weaver, of Jowa, Is
trying to effect union in that state
when all bis party leaders are trying
to prevent It. Washburn aDd Butler
are dally writing and sending cir
culars all over the United States, ad
vising Populists to refrain from
union. Washburn says, "We must
not be mere camp followers of an
other party," and "we must not al
low the Democratic party to swallow
us." Nevertheless that veteran silver
leader of Iowa is still hammering
away at union. If Oregon had .more
Populists of hU type she would
be better off. To unite with the Dem
ocrats and Silver Republicans would
not.be camp-following, at least the
Democratic party would not be swal
lowing the Populist brethren, To
still remain united means sure victory
and tobeperate n-cans defeat to the
silver force?. Whl'e .the Democratic
and Populist party stand on the same
platform, or almost the same, why
will they talk of separating for some
minor issue which will not do tho
country any good till free silver
triumphs. To persist on separation
la this question, conveys the impres
sion (hat the Populists arc not flghtl ng
for silver hut for name and place, and
has a tondency to prove that they are
not sincere in their belief. One year
from next Juno the voters of Oregon
will be called together to elect a con
gressman and legislature. For silver
to triumph there must be somo good
work ;donc. Will the Democrats,
Populists and Sliver Republicans,
unite In ono party and carry tho elec
tion or will they separate and allow
the tireless gsldbug to have a sweeping-victory.
This will be the effect
of every campaign for years to como
as long as union Is not effected. The
Populist party will never win to
fight alone as insisted by Washburn,
but will in time, become extinct.
Tho Silver Republicans show that
tboy are flghtlug for principle by
tearing loose from their party, and
advocating Independent American
Bimetallism.
If the two sliver party les had united
In Jfcine an honest American citizen
would have represented the First con
gressional district of Oregon, In con
gress Instead of a Englishman gold
baKm. Thus wo 6ee the need of com
plete union which will bjnd every part
of tho silver clement In one compact
body well organized, and then It will
be able to cope with tho great gold
monarchy. Sliver fought In the last
campaign Just merely In ita infancy
and did better than was really ex
pected, and now as we have a deep
hold wo must not turn back, must not
be discouraged and forever defeat our
selves by rashnesi or anything that
pertains to losing courage. Democrats
Populists,sllver Republtcans.Joln your
hands In party union, for the great
battle which Istotako place before
two years rolls arouud.prcparc for cap
turing congress and tho legislature for
sllver,flght for each other side by side,
work In perfect harmony for the next
two years and your efforts will be
crowned and rewarded by the greatest
land-sliding victory that ever befell a
political party of the state of Oregon.
