The Oregon Result.

New York Sun: The Democratic
party gathered some more fruits Of
Populism in Oregon on Monday. Judge
Lord, the Republican candidate for
governor. was elected by plurality es-
tilnated at $4,000 The legislature.

is Republican. Both congressman elec-
ted are Republicans. In 1892 the COM
biued vuty tor Weaver and Cleveland
in Oregon wa, G.2aUG greater than the
vote for Harrison. A Weaver elector
put on Lile Democratic ticket WAS elec
ted. Since then the Representatives Of
the Democratic party ut Washington
combined with Populisln. aud gone
from endorsing Populist candi-
dates to stealing Populist principles.
The Oregon election shows how much
the Democratic party has proIited by
becoming an inmate OF the Populist in
sane ASYLUM. Oregon which has been
stronghold of the Populists, and gave
Weaver. in 1892, 26,9G5 votes to Harr-
sons 81. .uO2, and actually elected Pop
ulist elector by means OF Democratic
help. now returns to its senses. and re-
paws the Democratic crawling in CON
eress by casting away Populism and
giving big Republican plurality.
This Is what the Democrats have earn
ed with their fraudulent tariff and their
Populist income tax. Populism is dy-
ing in the country just as the wiggling
break promises in the White House
and the Capitol are preparing to sacri-
flee every Democratic duty and hope to
win it's favor.
If the income tax and the himlam
tariff bill are good for $4,000 Repnbli-
can plurality in Populist Oregon, what
are they worth in states where the
Populists have had no hold at all?

ANOTHER ALLEGED SLATE.

THE REPUBLICAN has it direct from
well-posted and disinterested Republi-
canfrom the north part of the state that
there is an entirely new deal behind the
candidacy OF r. j. Gamble forcongress.
This authority says that it is not as has
been intimated Pettigrew move. but
that Governor Sheldon himself is in the
deal. and that it involves the candidacy
OF r. j. Washabaugh Of the Hills as
Candles running mate for congress.
Washabaugh has formally announced
his candidacy and claims to be sure of
Lawrence county. A further element
in the arrangement is to make Banker
Moody of Brown county state treasurer,
the ultimate object being to eliminate
Major Pickler as a senatorial possible
ty and leave the way to Kyle's seat two
years from now open to Gov. Sheldon.
Under the circumstances Senator Petit
grew can afford to keep his hands off.
He is ostensibly favorable to both Pick
ler and Lucas. yet his relations to Gam
BILE and Washabaugh have always been
friendly in high degree. We give
the gossip for what it is worth. but it
certainly has some elements of proba-
bility. CANDLES candidacy is already
announced, and within the past three
days Washabaugh has advised friends
on this side OF the river of his intention
to go after Capt. Lucas's seat,

 ROME, Jan. S0.-Burglars forced an entrance into the American legation, No. 13 Via Nazionale Sunday night by breaking the locks The thieves broke open the safe and desks of the minister and consul-general. and then set fire to all the papers in the office. A number of the archives were com pletely destroyed and others partially burned.
 The outrage is supposed tohave been perpetrated about midnight The rep resentative in this city of the United Press visited the legation this morning and found the offices q scene of ruin. In the first large room, where visitors usually wait. only the charred remains of table and a set of drawers were left.
 In the smaller room used for the vice. consul. there were no traces of the fire, tall the papers of the vice-consul were strewn in disorder In the room occu- pied by the consul l-geperal the wood- work and the desks had been set on fire, and most of the archives were in ashes Some partially-burned docu- ments were found lying scattered about The offices of Minister Potter were in similar condition. and it was evident that fire had been applied ev- anywhere. with the exception of the vice-consul's room 1t was obvious that the thieves had spent several hours undisturbed in their work of de- struction.
 Minister Potter stated that no valua- ble documents were destroyed. The minister informed Baron Blanc, minis ter of foreign affairs, as soon as he himself learned of it. and the police were immediatly set to work on the case. but as yet they have found noth- ing that would lead to the identifica- ton of the robbers The motives of the thieves-and there is considera ble doubt of their being ordinary burglars in so thoroughly wrecking the offices and destroying the papers, especially the archives. is inexplica ble.
