Election Day in Grseoe.

Election day is an exciting one in
Greece. The last one was especially 30
in Athens. The people-were to vote Tor

occurs every four years For a week
previous to the polling an. the men and
boys were parading the streets; headed
by band The Greeks are blessed With

"Viva" fairly drowned the braying of
the donkeys. The interest was so in
tense that the young children shared it.

The voting takes place in the churches
on Sunday, consequently the customary
service is dispensed with. In the church
to which an American gentleman sue

outward. Looking through these tubes
one could see that the boxes were divided
into two compartments. Beside each
box stood a representative of the candi-
date, and over the box appeared the
candidates picture. Each voter, as he
entered the church. had his name and
address registered, and check given
him. The above mentioned representa-
tive then gave the voter a bullet. or
vote, made of lead.
Formerly the dishonest voter would
slip another bullet up his coat sleeve.
and as he raised his arm to the tube the
bullet would roll down, and two votes
instead Of one be cast; but the repre-
sentative now watches to prevent cheat
ing. Negative votes as well as affirma-
tive must also be cast; that is, if voter
objects to candidate. he must cast a
negative bullet. The voter, of course,
casts one vote at each box, or forty two
in all.-Cor. Youths Companion.

The Chinese are not supposed to have
much talent or liking for hunor, but a
little story related by the author of
''Three Years in Western China" shows
that they are not altogether deficient in
that respect: le
Several of my followers were opium
smokers, and one Of my bearers had con-

and small bundle containing his opium
pipe and the necessary paraphernaha for

that the bundle had assumed larger di-

contents proved to be wide of the mark
A few miles to the west of Yang-lin a

which the smoker smiled and was silent.
On the following day we were sud-

YESTERDAYS VICTORY.

We have met the enemy and they are
ours The issue was squarely Moody or
anti-Moody and the freemen of The
Dalles have risen in their might and
routed Moody, horse, foot and dragons.
1t was no question of the character of
the men on the Moody ticket. They
were all, without exception, honorable
and honest citizens, men who would
have adorned any position to which the
people might have called them; but they
were Moody men and the people did not
want Moody and they said SO yesterday,
in terms not to be mistaken. 1t is more
than defeat, it is a rout, it is more
than victory it is a triumph, it is more
than a conquest, it is a Waterloo.
Every man on the citizens ticket is
elected. The pride of bossism is broken
and the Imperialism of the dictator is
rebuked. The damning outrage of stuff
ing the primary with stockmen from
Crook county, sheep herders from Ante
lope and boys yet in their teens from
Dalles has been resented. The infamy
of delayed public improvements, peo-
pie robbed of the use of hundred thous-
and dollars through frivolous and inn
pertinent vetoes while bank was en-
riched, defeated charter bill and a
water bill amended to suit the exigen-
cies of selfish imperialism, deaf legis-
lature and an insulting representation
all have been remembered and the prime
mover in the infamous drama with al
his abettors has been hurled into the
vortex of political grave while twice 8

THE LESSON OF OUR REPRE-.
SENTATIEES.

The lesson taught by the success of the
anti Moody ticket yesterday should not
be lost upon our representatives whether
state or national. At the last legislature
nothing passed current except it was
coined in the Moody mint. Anything
that Moody asked was granted, anything
that the people demanded was denied.
The humiliating sight of fifteen citizens,
representing fairly the wealth and worth
of The Dalles at the last legislature,
begging and entreating the creatures
whom their votes had made their repre-
sentatives to grant them the passage of
bills endorsed by the common council, by
the chamber of commerce and by the
representatives of three-fourths of the
city's wealth, will never be forgottenR by
those who were eyewitnesses. We re-
member the rude denial of redress with
out the Moody council and concurrence,
the refusal of the legislature to grant us
common justice, it's readiness to believe
lying and contemplate scrap of an ir-
responsible newspaper, because Moody
approved it, while it turned deaf ear
w wiz AOOoOio anu HOoAbAOho VI ~
of our best citizens-all because, for
sooth, the petitioners and lobbyists were
but the representatives of faction at
once insignificant and uninhuential. Let
our representatives know that what was
done yesterday could have been done,
with proper organization at anytime for
the past five years and that what the

at the next state election. Even at the
last state election, without any special
effort whatever being made against the
bossism of M. A. Moody he was unable
to secure a solid delegation from single
precinct in the county. While he carried
The Dalles primary by the same nefar-
ious methods he adopted last Saturday
night, he was unable to control nearly
the half of the men he was obliged to
put on his ticket. Our representatives
will do well to note that the people of
The Dalles and Wasco county want no
more of Boss Moody. They have had
all they want of him already. They
have weighed him him in the balance
and found him wanting in everything
but an answering devotion to his own
selfish interests. When house is about
to fall wise men will stand from under
The men defeated yesterday were de-
feated because they were his nominees
and for no other reason. Not a breath
of suspscion taints the character of any
of them. The city would delight to
honor the names of such men as Judge
Condor and Judd Fish and the same is
true of all the rest. And the city would
honor itself in honoring them, while all
their personal popularity could not elect
them, as the friends of Malcolm A.
Moody.

MoRo. June IA. 1891.

Mono, June IA, 1891.
| EDITOR CHRoNICLE-Quite a number
take the CHRONICLE but your reporter
fails to CLEAN all the news.
Mrs. Mcdaniel and daughter, Miss
Katie, of Oakland, are visiting Mr.. H. S.
Mcdaniel.
Mr.. John J. Schaffer has a brother
from Iowa visiting him.
Miss Pearl Rust has just returned
from six months visit to California.
Messrs. w. H. Pugh, of Wasco, G. G.
Comstock, of Kent, Frank Jams, of
Grass Valley, E. Peoples, of Monkland,
and L. K. Moore, of Erskineville, are
some of the carpenters working on the
new buildings under construction at this
place.
E. o. Mccoy has been having lot of
work done on his property here which
has helped the looks of it and gives the
town better appearance.
We hear Messrs. Mcdonald & CHM
are to use the Mccoy building with a
line of hardware. They are also agents
for Knapp, Burrell & Co. for Sherman
county.
Mr.. A. G. Sanford, Filloon Bros head
travelling man and collector is making
Moro his headquarters. Filloon Bros,
are always up to the times; they are
putting branch house in at this place.
Mr.. F. M. Hampton has teams hauling
lumber for livery and feed stable; we
are glad to see it as good stable is badly
needed.
Moore Bros. have nearly completed a
neat two-story building across the street
from their store. We believe it is to be
used as harness store below and pub
lie hall above.
We also hear rumors of newspaper
body, as it might be all gas, but there is
big lot of lumber being hauled and
piled on lot s, block 2. Peoples & Moore,
contractors say they are going to erect q
fine two story building. Time will tell
what it is for.
Mr.. Kaseberg is building new black
smith shop.
Peoples & Moore intend building a
store for their own use in which to sell
furniture, undertaking goods, ETC., be-
side several dwelling houses.
We had quite an excitement the other
day. The town is furnished with water
from large cistern on the hill above
town. The cistern was built about four
years ago and unbeknown to the citizens
and also to the cattle around town, the
timbers that supported the top had be-
come rotten, and when one of Mr.. Uriah
Servise's large steers walked over it the
top gave way and let about 1900 pounds
of beef down into the cistern. Mr.. John
Mason saw the catastrophe and spread
the news. About fifteen men headed by
w. II. Fulweiler made haste to the
rescue. After much hard work by the
wise ones it was decided to make raft
out of some logs close by which was
done. The steer, after some urging, got
aboard the raft and was foated to the
low side of the cistern and his oxship
walked off.
In talking with J. B. Morrison, Chas
Belchie, A. D. Mcdonald, j. A. 'Thomp-
son, W. G. Rutledge, Geo. Nader and
others from different parts of this end of
the county, we are glad to know they all
think the crop prospect is good as could
be asked for. DICK Doe.

chatted with the distinguished tO-be

Blaine in New England did not
move the secretary of war, but it did his
companion, Gov. Carroll 5. Page, of
Vermont, who asserted that Harrison
was as strong in Vermont as the
Plumed Knight.
Those people," he continued, .'who
think that Secretary Blaine is the only
man who has friends in the race for

are mistaken. Mr.. Blaine has a
great following, but President Har-

and supporters. In my opinion, there
will be no contest between the presi-

Republican nomination, as the question
will he settled long before the conven-

The State Fair This Year Has
Proved Money Maker.
The State Fair closed yesterday
best Fair. and the most successful Fair
held in this state" remarked the secre-
tary. ''We do not KNOW he continued,
chow much the society will make on
the Fair, but tn at there is profit we
know for certain. 1t is anywhere from
Sl.50 to $4,000. Everything has passed
off satisfactorily, outside the regretable
accident in the ladies' race, which we
all greatly regret"
There was a large turnout of work
ingmen Oh the grounds yesterday, but
their attention was almost solely occu-
pied by the races. The exhibitors, in
fact, in the afternoon began to make
preparations for returning their exhib-
its. and thus the visitors did not have a
full opportunity of overlooking the yari-
Gus halls. However, this mattered very
little, as thiee-fourthS OF those entering
the ground made straight for the grand
stand.
The managers are naturally iubilant
at the success of the Fair. "It's the
first fair in the history of the state that
has made money" trlumphantly re-
marked President Clough. The officers
unuOuotedlg deserve great creGii. Iney
have worked with one purpose to make
the fair successful, and the results at,

reported last night that both Miss Lane

former is at the st. Joseph's hospital.

ust a year ago we for

Then it was an experiment.

and faultless methods, all of
which we had in abundance.
To-day it is the great com
mercial success of the great

Many changes have since
been made. The interior
has been decorated, and we
have now one of the most
beautiful salesrooms manner
lea.
All of the stocks have
been greatly enlarged, and
there cannot now be found
a better assortment of high
grade merchandise in the
largest stores Of Eastern

New departments have
been added, prominent of
which is the Department for

Small Biazes.

The fire department was called last
evening shortly after 10 the printing
house Of Keogh q Gates, 317 jackson
street, where fire had broken out on
the third floor. Tho flames were pre-
vented from spreading by the energetic
work of the firemen led by Chief Jack
son, who succeeded in a short while in
drowning out the blaze. The damage
by fire and water amounted to $500, COW
cred by insurance.
First Pipeman Edwards of Engine
Company No. IL, was severely cut on
the right hand by falling glass, and a
doctor was necessary to stitch up the
wound,
During the fire another blaze broke
out on Fifth street, near Robert, in the
carpenter shop of G. P. Doyle. A
chemical engine put out the flames in
a few minutes.
