of a governor in June hasnow as
sumed such q shape that the contes
is not a party question. The nomi
nation OF a man with eighteet
banks is an open challenge TO thu
virtue and integrity of the voters %
the state. It is not whether the gov
ernor shall be a republican ora dem
ocrat. With two clean men thai
would be matter of small impor
tance. But when a candidate an5
his particular supporters asset that
he will spend Il hundred thousand
dollars if necessary TO secure his
election, if this is not priina facie
that there is something rotten in the
candidate whose party has eight or
ten thousand majority in the state
to back him, find it necessary ia
make such threats? Is he such a
man that decentrepublicans can not
vote for? There is something rotten
in Denmark and the issue is above
and beyond that of u mere party.
1t is question as to whether this
rising commonwealth can be bought
even by man who has eighteen
banks. We can not believe that it
can.
Corvallis Times: The ticket mont
mated in Portland at the republi-
can state convention last week is
undoubtedly the strongest that has
ever been presented by the party in
Oregon for years and we candidly
believe that the entire ticket viii he
elected. OF course there are some
objections made in Il few instances,
but the ticket as whole gives more
than ordinary satisfaction. R. =.

San Francisco Examiner: The
confession of the New York World
that its alleged Interview with Mr..
Cleveland, upon which the Suns
scurrilous attack was based, was
"iake,n leaves Mr.. Dana in an un-
enviable position. AS between the
Sun and the World honOrs are even,
and the only party to the three-cor-
nercd controversy who comes out
of it with any credit is Mr.. Cleve-
land. When the World carries SEN
sationalisnl to the point of invent
ing interviews that are bound to
make trouble it deserves rebu e, but
the deliberate malignity of the Sun
is even worse. The two ought 10
frame aioint apology.
Dallas Observer: One of the
natural products Of this section is
the fine building rock an eXhaustless
bed of which lies wi hin short dis

which il can be worked and the fact
of its being so close to market. will
in the near future make il an item

Polk County Observer: In Salem
upward of hundred buildings are
in course Of construction or contracts
are let for building Of same. Yet
population is pouring into the city
so fast that enough stores and dwell

year of unusual building and activ-
ity in the state capital.
Monmouth Democrat: 1t is said
that there are 32l convicts in the
Oregon penitentiary, and among
that number there are only two
women, being one to every 10000 in
the state. This speaks well for the
women of Oregon.
Who will take up the fight for
