Clasps Chairman Dan Murphy--A

F,om the Portland Telegram.l

Scan Weaver carry Oregon if the
electoral ticket is withdrawn"
The above is the substance of a dis
patch received from the national demo-
cratic committee by the state central
committee here last night, and the an
swer wired was, Yes
Withdraw the remaining three cleo
tors came over the wires in return,
and was repeated by wire to the electors
in the field, with instructions to return
to this city at once.
Hon. w. F. Butcher was in the city at
the time the dispatch was received, and
the news was delivered to him in per-
son. Hon. George Noland was at Albany,
and arrived in Portland this morning.
Hon. w. NJ. Co1vig answered by wire
from Roseburg that, owing to the serious
illness of his father, he would be unable
| to come to Portland. Messrs. Noland
and Butcher held conference with the
chairman and members of the state
| central committee at the democratic
headquarters this afternoon.
A Telegram reporter called upon
Chairman Dan r. Murphy this morning,
and asked him what action would be
taken by the state central committee
regarding the matter.
Whatever is done said Mr.. Murphy,
twill be done by electoral candidates by
] their own volition. The state central
committee cannot withdraw the electors,
/ but if they should see fit to resign, their
designations would be accepted. The
matter will be laid before them, and
they will be advised of the national
committees wishes. This is as far as
the state central committee will go.'
.'What will the electors do in the
matter?''
81 presume they will continue their
canvass" replied Mr.. Murphy with a
smile. s'I have talked with the electors,
and they have all told me they are will
ing to withdraw, and I presume they
will do this
''In your judgment, is this a wise
thing for the democrats to do?''
Eyes, sir It is the only thing for u:
to do. The only way for US to fight the
devil is with fire.
will the Weaver ticket be elected?'
..l. Yes, sir, by IA 900 majority. Boil
the democratic and peoples parties have
been gaining votes since the June elec
ton, while the republicans lost. All th'
members of both parties will stand firm
for. the Weaver ticket, and no power OF
earth can defeat it..
'Will not democrats regard it as al
Endorsement of the Omaha platform? p
81 believe am as good a democrat a
there is in the state of Oregon, and
can more easily indorse the Omah
platform than the Minneapolis; that is
of two evils, 1 believe In choosing tn
least. The democrats cannot carry tn
state, and it resolved itself into a ques
ton of whether Harrison or Weave
= should get the electoral vote of Oregon
As it now stands in this state, it j
everything VS.. McKinleyism and tn
iforce bill, which are the paramount
planks of the democratic platform
ssWill the democrats continue tn
work of the campaign for the Weave
electors?"
"Yes, more zealously than before
Believing we will be successful, the dem
, ocrats will have a greater incentive 1
work, and harder work will be don
than ever before in this state.''
'tWill not the republicans who hay
gone over to the peoples party return I
the republican fold?"
"No, sir; the republicans who ha,
gone over to the peoples party have lie
the republican party for principle an
there is no reason for their desertion
the principle contended for, because tt
democrats propose to aid them in carr,
ing out that principle"
"Will not some of the democrats bo
r the Weaver ticket?"
