FRIDAY, JUNE IS, 1898
MIR. MALoNEY.

Mr.. Dan Maloney, as was stated last
night, is adopting queer methods to
gain him the suffrages of the people.
His latest attempt is to muzzle THE
CHRONICLE by intimidation. He ap-
parently does not realize the magnifi-
cence of bis contract, for while he might
go on and slaughter graveyard full of
CHRONICLE reporters, there would al
ways be one more. The following
excerpt in last nights CHRONICLE, is
the cause of his umbrage:
Dan Maloney has filled the Office of
marshal fairly well, having proved him
self to be an industrious officer, though
lacking in judgemnt on one or two no.
table occasions, but his methods IN pol
itics the last few days are at least ques-
tionable. Having secured the nomina-
ton on the regular democratic ticket it
is not strictly the part of wisdom to &C
cept like honors at the hands of the cit
liens convention. He should repudiate
the latter, since it is now too late to re-
pudiate the former. Geo. Herbert
who is his partner in misfortune, did
the honorable thing in refusing to be a
nominee last night, which was wise as
we'll.
Now, if the CHRONICLE had stated that
he secured the nomination by only
eighteen votes, which, with two other
candidates in the field, gave him really
large minority; if we had stated that
he was out with a handsome equipage
with four spirited black horses, going
into the country for votes for city
election; that he had peremtorily for
hidden an unassuming quiet stranger the
privilege of expounding his religion
upon the public streets; and allowed a
leg-show to exhibit their immoral graces
upon the street on Sunday, all of which
facts we knew at the time, he would
have had more excuse for thus hailing
reporter:
eff you put my name in the paper
again, l will hunt you up, slap your
face and kick you; you hear me; you
There is SO little argument in the
above, though forcible enough, that the
reporter did not attempt reply other
than the modest statement that he
would not be kicked if he had dexterity
enough to pull gun.
Nevertheless. this is personal matter,
anu IAO PuOllO 10 AOC ApOCIOO W
est themselves in these details, only as
showing the manner of the man who
asks to be marshal. If the people OF
the Dalles want man for this position
whose insignia is club, who adopts for
his motto "Might is right" a bully of
the Sullivan type, and man who has
so little intelligence that he thinks he
can force a newspaper into the same
dumb submission that he can an indi-
Vidual, who while an officer of the law,
adopts such lawless methods, then vote
for Dan Maloney. If you prefer manly
individual, one who commands the re-
spect of his fellows, and will not abuse
the power conferred upon him with the
star, we say in all sincerity, vote for
George D. Read.
