HOW THOMPSON PROCURED HIS NOMINA
TiON FOR GOVERNOR OF THE STATE.

| Il isweli known in this State that y !
Thompson's fight for The Cubenatorinl nom:-
nation was made in the City Of Portland, and
that James I.otan was his agent or ..Boss" IN
carrying the primary elections in that city.
| On The 9Th Of April last, afe, the result oI
the Republican primaries was known The
"Daiiy Oyegeaian' said.
"The result Of the primaries held Saturday
Is regarded by the defeated faction as showing
very ominons state Of affairs. Thus In South
Portland, precinct No ), where charges Of bal
lot box siuffing were claimed, there we're Ssz
votes cast, against total vote, democratic
aud republican, Of two years ago, Of 6so. So
also In North Portland, No 4, carried by the
lsoianites, there were 7So votes cast a. the
primaries, waere two years ago the total vote
Of 10th parties was only 23I, Other similar
discrepancies occur 10 North Portland, No 8,
where 3S7 nov are eonirasted agaiast z7o, and
In North Portland, No 5, where the combined
vote, two years ago was CTS. this time at the
primaries oSS. The precincts carried by
Simon do not show % IN any such shape,
South Portland, No po.ied combined Two
yeaFs ago $40, Saturday s75 republican votes,
North Portland No z, shows now so against
! tormer record Of s4s."
"More money was used 10 the primaries
than has ever been used In primary election
10 Oregon before.
"of ecourse no one will ever know exactly
how much was spent. and random estimates
are 30 susceptible TO exaggeraiion."
"While there Is doubt as 70 the exact sum
spent, there is no doubt that money was used
openly and shamelessiy. Both sides were in
glass houses and there was no stone throwing.
Neither dared go into the contest without
money, and each relied upon is ability to out.
work, ousconnt. and last, but not least, out
buy the other. Men walked like sheep to the
polls, deposited their ballots and turned and
received the pailry price Of their votes from
herders who stood within yard Of The polling
booth.
AThs pric. for votes In the early stages Of
the primaries was e.. 90. In the las. hour or
tso, when both sides felt confident, only sf.oo
was paid at some places"
None of these statements have been denied
ey Thompson and they may be taken as true.
BY the use Of money Thompson was able to
vote sss men where there were bat 6so voters
Ia the precini two years ago. counting both
democratic aud republicans.
In North Portland, Thompson's faction Of the
Republican party polled $50 votes while both
the political parties couli muster but 65o
voters al ne election fsvo ysays ago.
The paper says. ''The precincts carried by
Simon do not show up in any such shape. ;"
This makes /, very clear that Thompson
boagh, bis nomination and the ''Daiiy Greg
sHias" is the nndisputed witness.
II fhis method Of proearinga nomination Is
wiaked At and allowed 10 pass unrebuked. the
election will next he carried By the .'open and
shameless use Of money" and the state win be

A prominent republican farmer who
was in the city Saturday said that he could
not sec how politics could be considered
by the farmers as between such men as
Pennoyer and Thompson. For his part
be should unhesitatingly vote for the
former. and some Of his republican neigh
hors would do the same.--Easf 0regoaiaa
Il Is no longer question of politics.
Whether aDollar Mark" will be able to

WHY NOT?

A great many republicans all over the state
have declared their purpose TO vote for Penney
er because he vetoed the blu creating non
taxable bonds. In this We believe they exer-
else sound discretion. But II this is reason
enough to lead them to vote for him why
should they not vote for Col r A Miller for

JUPITER'S DOMAIN.
A Room Where tho Classical in Art is Ex-
hibited

A Room Where tho Classical in Art is Ex-
hibited.
The Temple Of Jupiter is an odd spot to come
upon unexpectedly. 1t is on the second story
south side. Like the other single rooms, the
visitor does not know there is such place i'll
he turns the angle near which the door is To-
Gated, and the vision bursts upon him.
There is nothing elaborate in the decorations
Of the room but the amount of delicate ,intTica
work expended upon il must have been enor-
nous. On q dark background are shown imita-
ton of those old frescoes, such
as are represented as ornamenting
the rooms of the Roman aristocracy when
that empire was at the climax of its glory; and
the fidelity with which each subject has been
handled, notwithstanding the limited mat erial
used. has caused EXPLANATIONS of surprise from
the ignorant, who could only appreciate the
minute delicacy of the work, as well as the edu-
Gated, who could observe that each subject has
been carried out to the last detail
of historical and mythical accuracy. The ma
terial most generously used in making the white
outlines on the dark background is pumpkin
seeds, though melon seeds, beans and other
small articles of agricultural production are
handled profusely. The floor is of the
mosaic pattern, the numerous pillars
made to harmonic with the wall decorations,
and the ceiling is ornamented in accordance
with the best historical lights on the art. Thor
ough knowledge of ancient classical mythology
has been brought into use in the forming of the
figures and designs, so that the most erudite OF
scholars can pick no flaw in the compositions.

Hanging over the tops are creeping vines such
as would grow in such an abandoned place, and

sleepy looking owls, while one portfolio has

growth of moss which is kept alive where it
hangs. Looking between the pillars of the
lower part is seen a gushing fountain throwing
the water high up in the air, to fall again in
sparkling spray upon the plants which line the
pool.
This exhibit is one of the prettiest in the
Spring Palace, and it is also one Of the most
difficult to keep in order, as the flowers used in
the decorations need replenishing each day, and
the amount Of labor and taste necessary for the
accomplishment of what is presented must be
undertaken to be appreciated. The ladies who
devote themselves 10 this work have for their
reward only the qualification of knowledge OF
good accomplished.

MOUNTAIN VIEW.
In Which Rugged Mountain O'erhangs
Somber Cave.

In Which Rugged Mountain O'erhangs
Somber Cave.
On the second story in the southern
extension of the Spring Palace build
ing is one of the most striking scenes
of the exhibition, the same consisting
of the imitation of a cave entrance
in rocky, precipitous. tree-covered mountain
and SO naturally is the idea carried out that
everyone passing that way is attracted thither
to scrutinize this somber touch of picturesque
nature. There is just enough Of the
face of the mountain given to show
the heavy growth of the fir and
cedar trees on the top and sloping sides.
The mountain is constructed of natural
rocks of large size and rugged proper
tons, and from every available crack
and Granny protrude such verdure as
usually grows in such places, while here and
there are to be seen creeping serpents and other
shiny Shiny reptiles, such would naturally
infest such q wild spot as this is supposed to
represent.
The floor of the cave is of gravel, and top and
bottom are large stalactiles and stalagmites,
true to nature, sparkling in the bright lights,
and the cavern itself extends far back until the
darkness shuts out further view. But running
across the cave is a stream of water which drops
from crevice at the top, the whole being per-
fectly plain to the spectator.
The originality of the exhibit is only equaled
by the accuracy to detail with which it is carried
out. 1t is wild, rugged view, and extracts ex-
CARNATIONS of admiration after the feeling of
surprise wears off.

On Wednesday next a couple of them will reach
the city, and they will be of the usual kind
that make Fort Worth the objective point
One of them comes from Boston, Mass. and
among the number on board will be some of that
city's representative merchants and big capital
lists. The Chicago excursion train will bring
Mayor Cregier OF that city and his party to Fort
Worth. Both parties will take in the Spring
Palace and Mayor Cregier will probably
speak at night. 1t will undoubtedly
be interesting for the people of this hustling
state to listen to the mayor of the champion
hustler of the country. They will all arrive on
Wednesday morning and during the day and
evening they will visit the Texas Spring Palace.
