law requiring S4S, 100000 for a sinking
fund will be complied with, there is no
escaping the deficiency have mentioned.
Bankruptcy, which now threatens the
treasury, is the result. first, of the Nc
kinley tariff law, and second, the lavish
appropriations of the Fifty-first Con-
gress."

City Hall tonight, receiving an enthusi-

1t is absolutely essential to the existence
OF the Republican party that within cer-
tain limits we shall train together. You
cannot do anything with divided party.
The Democratic party is not under such
obligations. They are not called upon to
do anything. Their position is simply
one OF negation. They are not Democrats
on account of anything of principle that
runs through the party from Maine to
Texas. l should like to hear Democratic
orators start in Maine and wind up in
Texas with the same speech. When he
got through with it he wouldn't even be

LITTLE MIXED IN OREGON.
SALEM (Or.), Oct. 26. - The County
Clerks in Oregon are just now puzzled
over the Australian ballot law. The resig-
nation of Miller as a Democratic Elector
compIlcates the matter, since the vacancy
was filled by nominating Pierce, a Peo-
ple's party nominee. The Clerks are un-
able to decide whether to put Pierce's
name on the ticket in one, two or three
places. The Chairmen of both Demo-
cratic and Republican Stale Committees
and the AttOrney-Gen agree that
Pierce's name should be on the ballot
in the group with the Democrats and Re-
publicans- Others. however, hold that as
Pierce is the nominee of neither party
separately, his name must go on the
ticket under the group headed "Demo-
cratic Peoples Party"
