WILL R. KINO AT SALEM.
The Senator From Baker County Well
Received at the' Capital.
Senator King of Baker county, was
given a most hearty and cordial re
ception atSalem, Tuesday. He could
not go two blocks on tbe streets In
less than three hours. It was a con
tinuous ovation from personal friends
of all parties.
Mr. King really came tto Salem to
complete the proper lillng of the state
ticket of tbe Silver andReform forces,
and this was satisfactorily completed
before he did any visiting.
ne was Introduced to hundreds of
Salem people In the afternoon and
his time was taken with other lawyers
untlf a late hour at night considering
the law points raised about filing tbe
nominations. He was unable to at
tend the South Salem Bimetallic
club meeting for that reason.
Mr. King will be In Salem again,
when the campaign is more fully en
tered upon, and the intention is to
meet a many people Jas possible loan
Informal manner.
The Statesman Ignored the presence
of Hon. Will R. King In this city. He
was not even "given the cuilomary
courtesy of a personal item. The Re
publican managers do not like the
way King Is received by all classes of
people and hardly know what to do to
check the tidal wave of good will and
friendly feeling shown toward tbe
young leader from east of ithe moun
tains. Tbe Man From Ireland.
William C. Dayles, tbe famous
Irish story teller with Jerome's Her
ald Square comedians in their latest
laughing success, "A Jay Iff New
York," is without doubt one of the
fastest talkers today on the American
stage. It is impossible for him to
talk slow; nature timed him to go
sixty miles an hour, and be is always
strictly true to time, ne is always In
nigh spirits, always traveling at a
break neck pace, and be tumbles one
good 6lory on top of another so quickly
that you arc always wondering what
is coming next. Then too he has a
pecular appreciation of things funny
he has humor that takes hold of
small things be will work round on
trlylal points that other people would
pass unnoticed, and he will dwell
upon and develop that point until
what was originally a side Issue, turns
out to be an immense big joke. Opera

mental failure of the age McKInley
message on Cuba,
The enlarged one cent dally thinks
it ha9 more ReDUblican subscrioers
than any Republican paper at Salem
Jt would never aoio pay lawyers i
really do anything for the taxpayers.
Our Populist county treasurer ought
It would never do to pay lawyers to
to know better.
Such a thine as cutting tbe 20,000
a year umbilical cord between Hon.
Phil Metschan of Brandenburg and
our state government is not to be
dreamed of by the Republican .party.
It's a cold day when Geo. Grab
Binubam don't ring in a 10 per cest
bill for collecting taxes for tbe county
that would be collected anyhow.
The X-Kay man minus ne can
guarantee the old soldiers immunity
from any slams at this Republican
state conyeatlon. They are too badly
needed thisyear.
Now that the Cubans hae practi
cally whipped Spain it Is proper for
Gage, Hanna et al to demand that tbe
U. 8. intervene and compel Ithe Cu
bans to buy their own country.
By the way, who's putting up for ;
T. T. Geer's expenses this spring,
traveling all oyer the state? John Q. ,
Wilson. John G. Wright, Tom Slmms,
M. L. Chamberlain and W. F.Boothby
wouldn't do such a thing.
The Geer boom did not spring
spontaneously out of tbe soil free
gratis. It was carefully fostered and
mustered into existence, and it will
be seen who furnished the capital
later on.
The band was out, the streets were
f ull of Jpeople rejoicing, parading
and ratifying over the wonderful
outburst of Americanism and magnifi
cent display of backbone In McKin
ley's message in a horn.
John Daly of Corvallis was In town
yesterday. He says Prest. Gatch is
doing splendid work for the college.
He Is a gentleman, a scholar, and
has sense enough to keep out of re
ligious and political controverles so
far.
It was really liberal of the A. P. A.
managers to grab only NINE of the
places on the Republican county
ticket. Tho wonderful prosperity of
the people is so great that they will
not object to being taxed fortheparty
machine campaign management, the
expenses of keeping up tbe A. P. A.
organization, and the salaries of the
officials besides.
The Republican state convention
will probably suit even the fastidious
tastes of the immaculate Bob, who
edits the Statesman. Thcro will not
bs many "bull farmers" like Geo.
Dlmlck In that body. The bull whack
ers and cow punchers are not sweet
scented enough to associate with men
of as fine cloth as the gentleman Bob
of the Statesman,
Bob Hendricks Is at Astoria. He is
one of the leading Republican mana
gers and undoubtedly forgot to leaye
word with his young men at Salem to
show the Union candidate for gover
nor the proper courtesies due from an
opposition paper. The young men of
the Statesman bear King no 111 will,
and did not intentionally ignore his
vlsit:to the Capital City.
Salem Statesman on McKlnley's
message:
'There was palpable disappoint
ment noticeable everywhere, and
while party opinion was expressed
with reserve and an evident desire to
make the best of the situation, still
men of all classes, In politics and out

distorting his motives, exhibited a
want of satisfaction that was almost
unanimous.
