Multnomah county has Ger
tainly four energetic representa-
tives in the persons of Hons.
Kelly, PIulnmer, Yates and
Beebe. They not only work
late and early, but they work for
the promotion of the interests OF
the State, and with the idea that
their party is to be benefited
more by the passage of merltori-

sumation of personal projects.

IA PARTY MEASURE.

The oregonian i opposed to
the passage BY the Legislature Of
proposed amendments to the city |
charter of Portland, and urges
that ii the amendments become a |
part Of the CITY laws, there will
be nc one surprised should the
democrats carr the city IN the
forthcoming city election. 20
make the matter more plain. the
paper named would create the im-
preston that the success of the
party in the city hereafter depends
upon the defeat of the amends
ments, and the inference is that
the republican who votes for the
charter amendment votes against
the interests of his party.
We have no doubt as to the
truthtullness of the Oregonian's
remarks; but we do know that
the argument made would have
but little effect when directed to
q house of representatives pre-
sided over by one who is in the
hands of men claiming to be
democrats, and yet have SO con-
lducte6 themselves as to becom,
men without a party. 1t thl
whole truth was known, it would
doubtless be shown that, havlnI
lost prestige with the democratic
!. party, Thayer, Bush and Thomp
