The uproar over oregon.

While there is no controversy about
the general fact that recent elections
have gone pretty uniformly against
the Democrats for the Obvious reason
that Congress has come 81 far short OF
Democratic expectations, there is
good deal OF the ridiculous in the
claims OF the Republicans OF stupen-
dous gains in many localities. The
outcry about Oregon, for example, is
very much Of a tempest in teapot.
Oregon has been pretty steadIast
Republican State fol a score of years.
In 1872 it gave 1905 Republican plu-
rality; in 1876, 1850, although there
was claim OF the election OF one
Cronin by the Democrats, ON the
ground OF the ineligibility Of his oppo-
nent. In 1880 the plurality was cut
down to GIL, but in 1884 it had risen
to 2256, and in 1888 to 600. Even
in 1890 Congressman at large Herman
received about 10000 plurality. I'M
migrants to Oregon are mostly Re-
publicans, and that has increased the
Republican lead.
In 1892 Cleveland received IS per
cent of the total vote and Harrison
nearly 45. The Populists received
over "a per cent A fusion of the
Democrats and Populists caused one
elector for Weaver to be chosen, but
it is cleal that the Democrats had but
a small part OF the vote. Mr.. Harri
sons plurality was shout 5000, but
this was over Weaver, his leading
competitor. His plurality over Cleve
land was nearly 21,00O The absurditJ
OF claiming the result in such State
as this as a great Republican victory
over the Democrats is obvious enough
In 1890. when there was no P0pulist
candidate for Congressman at large
the Republican had nearly 10000
plurality. According to he estimates
the Republican plurality on the Con
gressional race this year is about {, 000
There is rot much gain shown b,
these figures.
The picturesque but absurd PeRnoy
er had done a good deal to confuse tn
public mind with reference to Oregon
For some instructable reason Penney
er has been popular in the State ant
has been elected Governor when Re
publicans were chosen To every Othe
