cupy because Macarthur was
SO sure Of being elected, but
he wanted to get as many
votes as possible, so as to, in
some measure, approximate
the old mans vote. He was
popular with the young
Wing lawyers and also with
hundreds Of young Wings
who were not lawyers. So
he appealed to them to vote
for him, since McArthur was
sure To - elected, and OBJ

Inanyiofs them as possible.
In the meantime he melted
the Democrats to- work as

was that when the polls
closed and the votes were
counted VIM. Allen received
one more vote than his pop

Disappointment and chagrin

The Wings accused Mr.. AL

means to induce minors and
repeaters to vote for him,
which was really and intact
the truth, but Macarthur re-
fused for family reasons,
though urged thereto by
many of his supporters.

i ]. j. Browne of Spokane Falls,
Wash. is:aleading Democrat Of
| the new State. He has the Vest
ern relish for a good story, even
when it hits one OF his own party
friends, and he told me one yes
tterday. Early in The seventies
Ohio Democrats carried that
State for Governor, their cani-
dats being william Allen, q veter-
an who had sat in the United
States Senate before half of the
voters of the day were born.
He was variously dubbed "Oid
Bin Allen" from his age, Fog
horn Allen" because Of his tIe-
mendos voice, with which he was
said once to have drowned the
the shrill whistling Of a locomo-
tive, and "Rise up, Bill Allen"
because he was literally dragged
out of obscnrity into the field of
modern politics. On the morn
ing after the Ohio election Mr..
Browne was on q railroad train
approaching Chicago, where he
saw in the morning paper the a.
nouncment that Allen was cleo
ted. Stepping off the train, he
met an old Democratic friend,
named Douglas, when this con-
versatiOn took place:
81 say, Douglas, have you
heard the news from Ohio? Allen
is elected"
"Is that so? No, it can't be
true. Are you in earnest?"
Certainly. Here are the head
lines of the news in the morning.
p0per. See, Allen elected"
well, that's q blessing indeed.
God must have stuffed the ballot
boxes for him." :.
The political success and
career of William Allen was
curious.
About 1902 three young
men hailing from the same
neighborhood, left the Shen-
andoah valley in Virginia and
emigrated to Ohio because
they desired to escape from
the blighting curse ofslavery
with which the Old Dominion
had been afflicted since the
landing of the pilgrims in
Massachusetts in 1920. One
was named Macarthur, an
other Lucas; the.name Of the
third has escaped my mem
ory so completely that Icitn-
not recall it. All these young
men became governors Of
their adopted State. Nc
Aruthr was particularly con-
spicieus in the early history
OF Ohio. Hehad already been
governor when the said VIM.
Allen, talso q native Of Vir-
ginia and uncle to Allan g.
Thurman, who ran for Vice
President on the ticket with
Grover Cleveland in 1888, \
married his daughter.
Young Vim. Allen studied
law with Gov. Macarthur, and /
was well thought Of by him
as well as BY most if not all
his Appropriateness.
IN 1894 or 'S6, Gov. Mel
Arthur was nominated byl'

A large audience greeted Miss

had never seen the play before
and we now say we have rarely
been better pleased or entertained
than by the faultless presentation.
Miss Gage links 80 completely her
own identity in the noble character
that one becomes unconscious Of the
surroundings, and is impressed with
the reality of the scene and persons.
Nothing more natural, graceful or
freer from gush or rant have we
ever seen on the stage than Miss
Cages Marina Paoli, aud indeed
we may say that so faithful por-
straiture is equal to a sermon.

ters of our suffering factories and to
relieve the great army Of consumers
from the burdens of a tax which op.

them nothing, and to rebuke the
party which now announces not
only that the body polite Of this
country shall make brick, but that
they shall make them without

SOME DRY FAcTs.-Tnere are
always few matters that do not
show up In the official proceedings
of any gathering. And 90 II appears
that the reason why Portland was
almost unanimously chosen, as the
place for holding the next demo
cratic state convention, was not "a
serious one. One Of the committee
from Eastern Oregon said that at
tending the state convention was
all the fun they would have this
year anyhow, so they wanted to
go to the big city at reduced
rates. Salem was too good n
town and too dry n town
for democratic convention,
said another member. In look
ing up election returns on which to
base the representation for delegates
10 was found necessary to go back
four years, as to have taken the
democratic vote of Oregon In 1888
would have left many counties with
out much Of representation, and
the convention would have been too
small to get itself together in any
kind of creditable shape. So they
took the returns of 1886 as a bas
for the call. They found the cleo
ion figures Of 1888 so rocky that they
bad to go back two years further to
strike any kind Of pay dirt.

A KICKER FROM POLK.
Here is Nan Who Thinks We Ought
to Have q Complete, New and
Costly Bridge.
DERRY. Or, March 10, 1890,

DERRY, Or., March ~, l69O,
To the Editor OF the Capital Journal:
see your paper has been inclined
to allow a fair and impartial discus
sion of the big bridge question, and
want to have a few words With
you and your readers.
/ think there hrs been such O
pressure used upon the county
courts of your county and ours as
has brought forth hasty and ill.ad-
vised action; action that, If followed
out, will give us an unreliable struc-
ture and one that will prove most
cbstly aud uneconomical in the end.
/ believe il would be better to take
the cool judgment of the whole
people, secure a decent appropria-
tion and provide for a substantial
bridge. In which all would have
confidence. This could be done
without being burdensome or OPP
pressive.
IDstead Of Polk county appropriat-
ing $4,000 and having it used in
patching up an old, broken-down
structure, she could we'll afford to
give three times that sum and be-
come partner is solid, lasting
structure. And the appropriation
could be 50 arranged that her tax
payers would not feel il. To illus
trate: The taxable valuation of
Polk county, after deducting in
debtedness and making all other
deductions which the laws of Ore
gon allow, Is about three million
dollars. A thirty thousand dollar
appropriation would require one
cent on the dollar TO wipe 1t out in
one year. But if twenty year bOAds
were issued, bearing live per cent
interest, tax of One-half mill Oh
the dollar each year would create a
fund for their payment, while the
sum of fifty cents on every th0us-
and dollars valuation would pay the
interest. A party paying taxes on
$4,000 year, it would be $150 per
year and so on. A like comparison /
can be drawn with Marion county !
aud the fact readily drduced that
the taxpayer would be only slightly
in contributing to the ex-
pense Of decent bridge.
There would be some consolation,
Mr.. Editor, to every contributor, in
Jhe fact that he had assisted in build
ing bridge in which he had cor
Ildence, but, no matter how small
his tax may he under the present
he will never feel that he
Is getting value received.
1t was well known before the
Hood that the bridge was not alto
yether safe and considerably out of
'epair by only two years use, which
would be obviated by getting now II
good and substantial iron bridge.
GOOD BRIDGE.
