GOV. PENNoYER's APPEAL.
His Assertions Called Into Question by
an oregonian.

| The following communication appear
ed in the Washington Post Of a recent
date:
AS one of large number of young
men who have settled in Oregon during
the last six years. have property inter,
csts there. and believe sincerely that
1t has resources which will ultimately
establish 1t as a great and important
commonwealth Of the United States, ]
wish to protest emphatically against
the impression that Governor Pennoycr
strives to spread broadcast over the
country in his public letter addressed
to President Cleveland.
IT is granted that hard times are
prevalert t al over the country, but Or
egon is no greater a sufferer than any
other state, no more than California or
New York, Michigan or Georgia, dc.
spite the governors exaggerated state
ments Of poverty. 1t is as ridiculous te
say that ''two-thirds of it's people are
out of employment" as 1t would be to
assert that two thirds of it's population
are millionaires; as foolish to declare
that "one-third are without sufficient
means of support" as TO claim that one
third are sivash' Indians living in
the same condition as when Captain
Gray sailed into the Columbia river 1Ol
years ago. Only yesterday l met a
New York business man who had just
returned from the Pacific coast and
spent over two weeks in Portland. Said
he without reservations: II saw no
country in my travels that looked in
better condition tfhn Oregon, while
Portland was the busiest city I have
visited. Apparently there were less pro.
pie out of employment there than in
any place of like population
If Gov. Pennoyer in his discreet com
munications on the art of personal ad-
vertising )lld cLrfire himself to poll
itics and to showing the American pes-
pie what he thinks are true economies
We Young men would rake no objection
But when he miiss-states facts ana thus
tradutea the good name Of state in
which we have tile utmost confidence
placing It in such a Light that
neither capital nor immigration will
come within its borders, we must OBJ
ject. Though have but little invest.
ed, while scme have thousands, / know
l speak for a majority of Oregonians
when l say that Oregon's condition is
no worse than that of any other state,
and that we consider her future oppor-
tunities unsurpassed by those of any
other commonwealth
Ia 1t not trifle inconsistent, too, fol
this Same governor to 81 bera;. his wn
state, when 1t is true that he is one Of
its richest men, owns the largest lum-
Der manufacturing plant in Portland
and some Of the best real estate ir the
heart of the city, with its 100000 popu
on land and of real estate in Portland
go far from showing that there has
been depreciation Of values in that
city, clearly indicate that there has
been an appreciationi an Of this fa tn
cannot fail TO be fully aware.
In connection With this l would add
that whereas we elected Pennoycr as &
democrat he is no longer such, and has
openly declared himself to be a populIst.
