For county treasurer the name OF VIM
Michel will appeal to large majority
of the citizens of the county, irrespec-
tive of party. He possesses the rugged
principles of the Puritan, and in resi-
dence of upwards of thirty years, no one
can point to single act, private or
public, which would deviate from the
straight path of rectitude- His selection
to this Office is peculiarly appropriate.
For county commissioners the conven-
ton have gone further into the ranks OF
experience and selected a man who be-
cause of leaving for Oregon was com
PEELED to resign like Office in Ottertail
county, Mimi, a position he had held
for three consecutive terms. He is now
engaged in storeleeping and farming in
Hood River, Oregon. He is an army
veteran, having enlisted at the age OF 10
years in the Second Minnesota cavalry.
He will make valuable commissioner.
The only question that could be raised
over the selection of Mr.. w. H. Butts for
coroner, lie that he has such jovial ex-
preston of countenance, where a long

fitting. Mr.. Butts face is the perpetual
fount of good humor, the Inspiration hof
peace with the world and all mankind.
However, at the rare intervals when his
services would be demanded, his features
would probably assume that thoughtful
expression which is given them when he
pulls down his specs over his nose and
gives himself over to philosophic re-
Election, for Mr.. Butts is philosopher
and reasoner, as we'll.
Mr.. E. F. Sharp, the candidate for sur
veyor, will poll large vote. He is a
young man of pleasing manner, capable
and efficient, and counts his friends up
on every hand.
The county ticket, in its entirety, is as
good one as was ever presented to the
voters of Wasco county for their con-
sideration. No objection can be seriously
urged against any one of them, and this
year, more than all others, it is desirable
to obtain as large q. republican majority
as possible.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

The county ticket presented to the
voters of Wasco county comprises some
of the very best men to be found in their
respective precincts. All OF them stand
for republican principles and have full
courage of their convictions.
The ticket is headed by Thos. j.
Driver of Wamic for sheriff. His name
is, synonymous for integrity and honor.
The longer one knows Mr.. Driver the
better they like him. He is what is
called in western parlance, "a square
man." meaning that he is thoroughly
upright and honorable, a true friend and
q good neighbor. For the character
istics of bravery, caution and cool head
edness, demanded OF an official in this
capacity, Mr.. Driver has no superior in
the county.
For county clerk, the convention
wisely selected Mr.. A. M. Kelsay OF The
Dalles. This young man has not been
in our community more than year, but
is an old resident of the county, having
previously lived at Antelope, where ne
is universally liked. His nomination
pleased that community to unit, with
out regard to political prediction. Mr.
Kelsay represents the younger men
the party and is a valiant worker for re
publican principles. He is believed t.
be one of the strongest men on tn
ticket.
Mr.. Troy Shelley, for superintendent
of public schools, has served in tha
capacity for four years, already, an
owing to his successful and well-know
stewardship of these interests, does nc
require any extended mention at OF
hands.
For county assessor, is presented NJ
F. H. Wakefield of The Dalles. M
Wakefield will make good official. 3
is intelligent, wide-awake and alert, an
possesses just the qualities which are d
sired to make successful assessor Il
nomination pleases the entire party. T
is an old resident and farmer.

Ex.PREmIER mEEoIER DEAD.
Sketch of Man Once Prominent in Cana
dian Politics.

MONTREAL, October 30-EX-Premier
Mercier died az 9:1O this morning.
The family OF the late ex-premier
Mercier came to Canada from France.
His father, J. B. h. Mercier, was a
farmer at St. Athenaise. Here Honore
was born October 10 1910. He was
educated at the Jesuit College OF ST..
Marys, at Montreal, and was called TO
the bar of Quebec in 1867 From 1862
10 1864 he was editor OF lie
Courier dc st. HyHciHtbe, a Con-
servative sheet. In 1864, when confed-
Grafton was first discussed, be con-
demned the project and left the edi-
torlal chair OF the Courier. From that
moment he was ranked with the
Liberal party, and as such was elected
TO the Dominion House Of Commons for
Rouville in 1872. In 1874 be resigned
his seat in the Commons. Four years
later he contested 81. Hyacinthe as a
Liberal candidate for the Quebec Legis-
lature. lie was elected and SUBJ
seouently called to the ministry as
solicitor general in the Jolly admins
tration. The Jolly government fell
soon after, whereupon Mr.. Mercler sue
ceeded Mr.. Jolly as the leader OF the
local Liberal party.
In 1886 there was a revulsion OF feel
ing among the French.Canadians, due
to the Northwest troubles, which had
resulted iu the execution Of Louis RleI,
aad on this cry Mercior succeeded in
carrying the province in 1887, upon
which he was commissioned 10 form a
ministry. He remained in office, hold
ing the portfolio OF attorney general un-
I'll Decemb Der, 1891, when he was dis.
missed by the lieutenant governor Of
the province as the result Of al iuvestl-
CATION by royal commission on what
became known as the Bale des Chaleurs
scandal. In the ensuing elections his
party was annihilated, and although be
himself was returned from the county
OF Bonaventure, since that moment be
ceased to be factor in Canadian poll

The JIMMY In POLITICS.
Disreputable Politics.

bItuVOFe SUM-
The burglary of the Democratic head
quarters of Hon. Wan. l.. Wilson, at
Grafton, w. Va, announced in a special
TO The Sun, shows the desperation Of
his opponents. The burglars carried
of private letters and documents bear
Ing on the campaign, but it is safe TO
say they obtained nothing which can
damage the Democrats, for while Chair
man McGraw has carried on an exceed
ingly energetic and systematic canvass,
1t has been a clean one. 1t behooves
the Republican leaders in the Second
district to promptly disaVow any com.
plicity or sympathy with this burglary
IL is dsreputable politics and must re-
coil on its projectors and would-be ben
eficiarieS. Chairman McGraw says be
has clue te the thieves, and II so, IL Is
very certain be will make it very warm
for them. In the meantime Mr.. Wilson
Is pursuing his canvass with great en-
ergy, and the outlook is bright for his
reelection.

WASHINGTON, October 3O.-Two i'm
portaut and Significant japanese victo-
Ties are recorded 5y United States Min
lister DeuOy ia cable Co the State
Department from Pekin to-day. He
says tha; the Chinese forces have been
defeated az Cnin Lien Chen and have
retreGted % M0ukden; also he reports
that the japanese have taken one Of the
Chinese forts at Port Arthur.
The scene OF the 6rst engagement is
just across the Iaiu river ia Manchu-
ria, and it marks the first real aggreS-
sive movement by the japanese
on Chinese soil, for 10 is believed
here that the preceding move
meDts on the west side OF the
Yalu river by the Japanese have been
IN the nature OF skirmishes 10 develop
the real strength OF the Chinese forces.
This having been done the japanese
are supposed 20 have formally entered
upon the campeiEu with Moukden, the
Manchurian capital, as the objective
point. Unless they are fully prepared
20 make Jhis winter campaign, some
thing heretofore unknown in eastern
warfare, they will Oe obliged 20 force
Ms only Is days remain before cod
weather comes.
In the neighbOrhood OF Port Arthur,
where the second japanese success Is
reported, the winter climate is not so
severe, and operations may be main
tained until much later TO the season,
partlcu.a rly ia view Of the excellent
base OF supplies Afforded for tine Japan
csc troops ,n the presence Of their own
war vessels 10 the Ueigh6OrhOOd, keep
ing open free lines OF communication
with Corea and Japanese supply ports.
il is believed here that Notwithstanding
the taking of Chinese fort by the ia
panese al Port Arthur, the place will be
able 10 hold out FOR d long time IL Is
strongly fortified by land and sea, the
plans being drawn by experienced Euro
pean engineer officers, and can O-er
most formidable resistance. The eX-
perts IN Washington believe that tJ can
not be reduced by toe japanese without
the use or heavy siege artillery, and so
far as reported the japanese are not
supplied with this.
Iuasmuch as the capture Of Port
Arthur would result 10 giving Japan
eODlrOI OF the G4ll ol O. N4--L4t aLu
cut OF the Chinese capital from COM
muuiCati0n with the sea, nc Is believed
that the japanese will make a most de-
terminsd effort 20 capture the fortress.
Tue belief that they are prepared 20 do
this, even II il involves .Ong siege
aDd a winter campaign, is horne cut
by the fact that the agents OF
The Japanese government 10
this country have quietly bought up
vast store Of goat skins and have praC-
tica..y coruered The market AS these
skins are commonly used 10 China and
ia pan as a necessary part Of the soldiers
winter raiment 10 Is fair TO presume that
The japanese are making ready for
winter campaign.
Great interest is shown 10 the news OF
the day at both the Japanese aud Chi
nese legations here. The former up 70
noon lad received no advices from their
bcme governments relative 10 their last
engagements, aud the Chinese minister
evidently was 10 a similar position, for
be was anEiOus.y seeking news from
Secretary Gresham this morning even
before Office hours.

A Resort to Crime.

o 10 their desperate eagerness to en-
arrass Mr.. w. L. Wilson's canvass
miscreants have broken into his cam
paign headquarters and stolen the docu-
ments and letters on file there. Who 10
responsible for this resort to crime as a
campaign device is not yet known, but
the Wheeling IntCUiGGRCcr has protited
by it to the extent OF promptly publish
ing one CT the stolen letters. II that
journal is not accessory before or after
the fact IL should make haste 10 tell
where II got the stolen letter. Mean
time, if there had been any doubt OF
Mr.. Wilson's triumphant election this
event would end it. Unless we utterly
misjudge the people Of the Second dis
