"PERsONs WHO WANTED TO BEAT Nc
KINLEY0

Ex-Judge Amber, Of Salem, a McKin-
ley attorney, was a willing witness to
the Cleveland Leader, and told a great
deal, referring to several lamentable
things in the high and glorious career
of 1.-The young Napoleon
The Judge never failed to claim strong
for his client, being an earnest man. In
his "OpiniOn McKinley's majority is 49,"
but further on he makes 1t %.
The Judge beats Baldwin on the Bon
sail $500; but the former lives at Salem.
He says $50 was a contribution from the
Salem Knights of Labor, "and $3.50 was
furnished by persons at Salem who want
ed to beat Mckinley for Congress-"
Now. the Judge may be right about
this, for we are satisfied there were
persons at Salem who wanted to beat
Mckinley" And the presumption is
tshere were persons at East Liverpool,
rot to mention other places, "whO
wanted to beat Mckinley"
At the committee meeting at East
Liverpool, when BOnsall handed over
the $500, it seems Rankin remarked 1t
was IAN indefinite loan" Why, these
poor people could take no other kind Of
a loan. Part Of this loan has been paid
back. but neither the ex.Judge nor
Baldwin mentions this.
The Judge says: "The money was paid
in weekly installments to the men locked
out" Now, let us consider this. When
the lockout occurred there were some
700 men, but many soon scattered out
and got work elsewhere. At the time of
this $500 loan there were probably not
less than 500 men, many with families,
to be provided with means of support.
The $500 then would only give 81 to
each mani A terrible corruption fund,
Mr.. AmblerP And Mr.. Baldwin, too,
opens his eyes In holy hOrrOrl Mr.. Day
had sense enough not to refer to 1t.
.when shall these three meet again"
In thunder. lightning. or In rainR
The most melancholy part of Judge
Ambler's contribution is the following:
eat the time OF the Republican pri-
mary election for delegates to the Con-
gTessiOnal Convention, all but about q
dozen Of the Knights of Labor voted,
and instructed the delegates for McKin-
ley, the vote at East Liverpool being
632 to 48 in McKinley's favor. At the
election the Knights supported Wal
lace"
No doubt, "the Knights" many Of
them, supported Wallace;" and thus
showed their good sense. They had be-
come satisfied that Mckinley had no
sympathy for them; that he was, in fact,
their enemy; that he sided with the
heartless, tyrant bosses, who wanted to
starve them into submission. We say,
let labOring men ever act thus, and ever
maintain the rights of labor. jefferson
said: 81 have sworn upon the altar Of
"God, eternal hostility to every form of
tyranny over the mind Of man."

fight ensued, stones, brickbats, and clubs
rained in the moonlight. No less than
fifty shots were fired from both sides.

To New York journal ex-COngress-
man Roswell P. Flower gives some in
teresting views on Democratic prospects
and policy. He Is of the opinion that
"there we're but two important ques-
tiOns awaiting solution by the people in
1884 which would afford the whole cOun-
try practical relief in Government ad-
ministratiOn. The first was to correct
the great wrong Of 1876 by nominating
Samuel J. Tilden for President in 1884.
The second was to limit revenue charges
to the actual requirements necessary to
ryustain honest governmental adminis-
ration" As one of the accepted leaders
of the Democracy Of New York, Mr..
Flowers interpretations of the signs of
the times carries no little weight. Mr..
Flower believes that Samuel j. Randall
will be the next Speaker, and we may
add the Indications are increasing In
that direction every week. 1t is seen
that It Is the safe policy. and that it
would not be good plan to 20 .blunder-
ing into Presidential year, with q
threat directed at the manufacturing
and business interests Of the country

THE late Republican primaries In Co
lumbiana county show up in a startling
light the defect in the popular vote sys-
tenn of nominating. Majority rule
should prevail, but in this instance it is
not the case. For the nomination of
Commissioner ten candidates were voted
for, and Hugh McFall, the man nOmina-
ted, got SOL votes out of total vote in the
county of about $500. The man nOmi-
mated got less than One-sixth of the votes
cast. For every one who wanted him,
five preferred some one else. Several
persOnseame within hundred of Nc
Falrs vote. This is minority, not ma
jOrity rule.

"a Slight Error"

A slight error occurred in the men
tion of the assault and battery case of
James McCrea against John McGregOr,
as given in Fridays Repository in regard
to McGregOr not appearing before the
Mayor. 1t seems he did call at the May
OT's office Thursday evening, but the
Mayor was absent. McCrea is not dis
posed to appear against him, but the
Mayor has sent word to him to call and
signify what shall be done.-RepOsitOry
18th.
"A slight errorr' Was it not a wiIful
"errOrp' 1t was, by confession, a mis-
statement of fact, of which there was no
occasion. The truth could have been
got by enquiring at the Mayors office,
and clerk Ballard is regularly on duty.
We have heard of persons who draw upon
their imagination for their facts, and
mould them to suit.
And, "McCrea is not disposed to ap-
pear against him." James Is good fell
low, when himself; but at other times
rather fond of fun. Well, the Rep. has
so corrected its account "Of the assault
and battery case," that there is not much
left. We suppose they wanted to score
a point against John McGregOr; but
they will have to try again.

PORT DIsCovERY.-We learn that this
mill, under the direction of Supervising
Engineer j. j. Hicks, is doing at pres
ent the biggest and best business in its
history. The new gang works to a
charm. The daily cnt of lumber, which
was only about $4,000 feet a year ago. is
now up to 10000, and is expected to go
up to 10000 feet before summer. In the
company's boom at the mill are now
100000 feet of saw-logs Four vessels
are loading at the dock, namely: the
War Hawk, Mary Glover, Makah and
Levi Stevens, all for California. The
company owns and sails on connection
with its lumber business three vessels,
the ship War Hawk, bark Mary Glover
and brig Deacon, and in the s. l.. Mas
tick it has one of the largest, most pow
erful and seaworthy tugboats on the
Coast. In one respect the Port Dis.
covery sawmill is the most advantage
ously located on the Sound, being near
est the ocean. The business goes on
lust as refore the death OF the late S. L.
Mastick and j. W. Ackerson. The firm
OF 5. l.. Mastick continues to be repre-
sented by l.. G. Mastick, the surviving
partner, and the well known San Fran
cisco lawyer, Il. b. Mastick, as executor
as the estate of l.. Eastick The firm
of Ackerson Moore x Co. will continue
until the end OF its contract to supply
logs to the mill, and sell the lumber
manufactured under the management
of the surviving partner. A. ID. Moor.
In fact, we learn that within the last
twenty days the firm has made two of
the largest lumber contracts ever made
by any mill on the Sound; one for a
wharf three miles long at Alameda, on
San Francisco Bay, for the South Pacif-
ic Railroad Company, aud the otEer for
the immense Touring mills to be erected
on Carquine Straits, in California, for
the Star Mill Campany. 1t is said
these contracts will alone require ten
million feet of lumber, and perhaps

Quileute is coming to the front. Set
tiers are coming in. Mr.. Loomiller, the
blind man who located here in Septem-
her, has refused $500 for his claim. Mr..
Ford has been offered $500 for his, but
refused; he asks $500 for his squatter's
right. The man who wanted his claim
found one vacant that he likes better
than Mr.. Ford's. 1t is estimated that
there are 1000 claims vacant in the Quill
eute valley that are good farming lands,
besides thousands OF acres of the best
timber land in Western Washington.

has been found is taken, but there are
