conversation with a Word representa- |

vsry close for the past fourteen years,
and since the last election there has

and this appears 70 have been slightly
gsuub,icia. That accounts in some
measure for the result of tne election

think either no or the managers os the
abroad used their influence in any way
10 control the election, but some Of the
resident officials OF the railroad and high
officials did. have no doubt, use their
influence against Us. Then there was
money seat from Washington, and this
sas undoubtedly used III some OF the
back counties. | say money WIS sent
there Doc iuse know by putting certain
circumstances together that such was
the c..ss. For instance, ] know that for
wears past certain men have left here for
Oregon three to six weeks in advance Of
the elections. Their arrival there has
always bsea followed by increased activ-
ity in certsin counties, with every evi-
dence OF Ihe use of money by these Re-
paolican agents. This occurred this
wear just as ii did last year, and the
year before, aud that il the reason say
money was undoubtedly sent on. from
here and used III The recent election.

documents on the Chinese question"
Being asked 10 explain why the Chinese
question bad not apparently been made
much Of au issue i'll this election, Slater
said the reasons are that Democrats as
s,l! as Republicans in Oregon for twelve
or fourteen yoar, past had been in &C
eord on this question. 1t was thought
by Democrats that il thoy could show TO
Representatives, that the policy Of the
National Republican party was hostile
- the interests Of our section. tha. an
inpresson might bs made. This, how
ever, WAS modified by tho siguin2 of tho
llyssrs restriction bill. Had the veto
oi the first Chinese bill come just before
the election, before any othe. measure
hh boen adopted, the Chinese question
would have been an issue. But tho en-
tire Pacific slope delegation came here
and supported the new measure after
tie first one was vetoed, aud. as you can
$40, 1t would have b3en useless to ask
Republicans to vote against him on no.
c,ant OF the Chinese question. when he
had voted and worked in favor of tho !
H,striction bill.

the result Of the election in Oregon will |
disappoint many Democrats and dema-
gogues who have predicted that the first
political canvass in the Pacific States
since the turmoil over the anti Chinese
bill would bs signal rebuke TO the per
ady Of the Republican party. II was
expected that the Democrats would
sweep the State. Democrats have been
swept out side Of the larger centsrs of
population. Oregon i, very largely
Democratic in political sentiments. II
the failure Of the bill 10 suspend Chin
ese immigration had deeply moved the
people, their anger and disappoint-
laent would have been manifes. at this
election, but the Republicans show that
the Democrats who loudly vaunted
themselves az the only sincere support
srs Of the radical anti Chinese legisla
tion have gained nothing by their zeal
and they have not influenced the vote
IN Oregon to any great extent.
