HARRITY's DOODLE.
A Barrel of it Thrown Into The Oregon
Campaign Last Night.


Campaign Last Night.
Additional particulars concerning the
Barrel of Doodle pitched into Oregon
last night with torch and fuse attached
by the New York Tammany party to
help Weaver capture Oregon is furnished
by the noon train today. The Oregonian
says:
Doodle has come to the assistance of
Chairman Dan Murphy and his per-
picked committee. 1t arrived last even
ing in custody of trusted agent of the
democratic central committee, and he
was not in town an hour until arrange
ments were being made to spend the
money as speedily and effectively as
the brief ante-election interim and the
demoralized condition of tthe party
would permit. Just how much lucre
has been thrown into the Oregon cam
paign it is impossible to ascertain, but
that the amount Is no stingy one may
be suspected from the expense already
incurred. Every dollar of it will be
spent in the effort to carry the state for
Weaver. At l o'clock this morning
Baltes & Co.'s ten printing presses were
rattling off this self-explanatory circu-
lar:
Democrats OF Oregon: Important
orders have just been received from
Chairman Harrity. The election of
Cleveland depends on Oregon going for
Weaver. A democratic vote for Cleve-
land electors in this state is vote for
Harrison. If you are democrat and
want Cleveland elected vote for Weaver.
D. r. MURPHY,
Chairman State Democratic Com
AS many of these appeals as can be
printed before five O'Clock this morning
will be bundled aboard of special trains
that start from this city at 5 80. Each
will consist of locomotive and cars, and
their conductors have been instructed to
maintain an average speed of forty miles
an hour. One carries Chairman Muir
ply and Capt. Moffett over the Southern
Pacific to Ashland and return, and the
other conveys Messrs. Markley and
! Sperry to Baker City and back again,
over the Union Pacific. At each station
of any Importance the train will stop long
enough to deliver the democratic boss of
the district, who has been notified by
wire of its advent, a bundle of the cir
culars and bit of the Doodle. All the
arrangements were completed before 2
O'Clock, at which hour the jubilant
patriots were crowding the party's state
headquarters.
No attempt was made to conceal the
fact that money had arrived, and that by
its free use the party hoped to defeat the
Harrison ticket. Chairman Murphy
only regretted that it had not arrived
sooner. 1--WE are going to carry this
state for Weaver if unlimited money
and tireless work can do it, he said
Nor were his conferees more modest in
their exultation. The atmosphere reek-
ed of Doodle suddenly and unexpectedly
acquired.
1t is extremely doubtful that even the
entire Harrity barrel could reorganizt
the demoralized democracy of Oregon
sufficiently to enable it to vote as a unit
Nor is it likely that the staunch par
tisans who sustained the position as
sumed by Messrs. Butcher, Noland anl
Colvig can be purchased to renounce tn,
principles of democracy and vote fo
candidates whose platform is nauseatini
/; to them. Mr.. Murphy will experienc
r no difficulty in distributing the content
of his barrel but the result of the ex
penditure will certainly disappoint him
