FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

little over year ago a company of
young men from the Agricultural Col
lege was sent to Monmouth to compete for
the supremacy in football. Their victory
was flashed over the wires before the mud
in their hair had had time to dry. At the
depot on their return they were met with a
brass band. and a vast concourse of citizens
with flaming banners. A herald went forth
to proclaim their achievements. Monday
there returned single contestant in the
oratorieal contest, bringing home with him
second honors. No assembled throng was
at tho station to greet him, no brass band
played Fourth of July tunes in honor of his
triumph. He took his departure quietly,
won his/prize quietly, and is quietly receiv-
ed by those whom he has covered with
glory. Is physical prowess superior to men.

paper feels especially pleased over the re-
suit. Mr.. Yates is young. active, energetic
business man, deservsdiy popular. and Gov
ernor Lord is to be congratulated for having
made such fortunate and entirely satisfac-
tory selection. The appointment came en-
tirely unsolicited on the part Of Mr.. Yates,
and he naturally feels highly complimented
that the governor should select him from
among the many prominent men of the state
for so honorable position, when several
applications for the place from influential
citizens were on file, accompanied by strong
letters Of recommendation. In the new
regent the institution will find friend who
will ever be found working industriously
for its welfare and advancement. The other
two regents appointed were, Benton KILN,
a well to do farmer and prominent citizen Of
Washington county, and Il. B. Miller, an
extensive lumber manufacturer Of Grants
Pass, and one of the best known and in

THE GAZETTE, during the senatorial
contest just closed, favored especially the
election of Governor Lord. This was
done simply because it seemed that he
was the strongest candidate, and one on
whom all factions might possibly unite
However, the movement was not one of
personality; but of principle. It was a
fight against Dolph. Not ON account of
his coldness, or his unpopular personal
qualities, but because he was the repre-
sentative of the corporations and the
machine; because he was the candidate
of Joe Simon, who had betrayed the party
time and time again; because of his ad-
vocation of radical gold policy The
thing was not to elect Mr.. Lord, Mr. Full
ton, Mr.. Tongue, or any other man in
particular. The thing was to defeat Mr..
Do1ph, the candidate of all those inter
ests which the people opposed. That
defeat has been accomplished. The
thirty" who stood against; Mr.. Do1ph
are to be heartily congratulated; not be-
cause they won a personal victory for
themselves, but because they did their
duty by the people, who trusted them to
represent their interests in the state leg
islature. The GAZETTE has no apology
for its advocacy of Governor Lord Mr..
Lord would have made a good SEN
ator. The GAZETTE is satisfied with the
result, and feels confident that Mr.. Nc
Bride will represent the state with all
proper credit.

THOMAS H. Cooper returns to his con-
stituents with clear conscience and a
consciousness that he has merited and is
receiving their decided approval of his
course as a legislator. Every equitable
measure of economy received ;his active
support. Mr.. Cooper's several changes
of vote in the senatorial contest have been
cuiticised somewhat, but in reality this
changing was due to desire on his part
to truly represent the desires of the peo-
pie of this county. His return to Dolph
after leaving him was due to gross mis-
representation by several Benton county
politicians. Personal investigation unde-
ceived him as to the choice Of Benton
republicans, aud he again voted with the
thirty who finally won the victory.
It has been said that Mr.. Coopers defec-
ton from the Dolph ranks really decid-
ed the Simon senator's defeat. It
strengthened those who were opposing
him in that that it showed the popular
will was supporting them and they might
count on accessions from the Dolph ranks
at any time. Mr.. Cooper can we'll be
proud of his first experience in the legis-
1ative halls of the state. The GAZETTE
can only say to him "well done thou
good and faithful servant"

SLMONS DYNASTY COMPLETELY Y
OVERTHROWN.

The election of George W. Mcbride to
succeed ]. N. Dolph, after one of the most
determined contests known in modern
politics. marks an era in the history of
Oregon which will not be soon forgotten.
It is victory which the best element of
the republican party have been striving
! to achieve for many years. But few far
mers have gone to the legislature during
the past fifteen years, who have not re-
turned home to their constituents embit-
tered against the political ring which has
just been overthrown.
It is of no use for those who have no
interest in the victory, except to ridicule
and belittle the righteous and unright-
eous elike, to try to make anyone believe
the legislature has not completely put its
seal OF condemnation upon Joseph ST.

ruptionist came up to the senate this time
with moro than his usual amount of
assurance. This is eviuced by the num-

Just what his feelings were when he saw

turned over to him the city of Portland
completely demolished, no one can tell
All, however, can imagine the constcrna-
ton which must have filed his little soul
as one after another of his little pets were
smooth laid plans were tried; pleasant
smiles, aud subtle parliamentary tactics
: were of no await, and when at last, obedi-
ent to his cali, Oregon's greatest orator,
Henry McGinn, thrilled the senate with
his laundering eIoquences, urging the
delivery of our metropolis to his master,
the iron entered Siron's soul, because
the house refused to concur.
| Of ali the litter Of schemes with which
| the Simon ring was pregnant, but one
was safely delivered and survives today.
The railroad company, of which Simon
! is the attorney, did not like to trust the
to the Oregon Legislature, and preferred
that thesssspresent board should remain
undisturbed. BY continuing to vote for
Dolpil for hours after every one knew
he could not be elected, the time until
adjournment was consumed, and election
of railroad commissioners prevented.
The old board holds two years longer,
and as it shows more of a disposition to
raise rates than to lower them, it will
save hundreds Of thousands of dollars to
Simon'e company in the future as il
has In the past. Meanwhile our farmers
are called upon to pay twenty thousand
dollars for its support. This is the only
trophy saved from the wreck. It is to be
hoped Simon may never return to the
same battlefield to secure such another.

OREGOWS NEW SENATOR.

The election of Mr. Mcbride was a
happy accident Although a prominent
man in Oregon politics, his name had
not been mentioned in connection with
the senatorship until a day or SO before
his election, and he was not regularly
nominated until Just before the ballot
that settled the senatorial controversy.
The new senator comes from what the
old Yauhillites cali the royal family"
from the fact that there are eighteen
children In the family, and nearly all OF
them have gained distinction in various
fclda OF usefulness.
several capacities. As member Of the
Legislature he gained the reputation OF
being one of the most active and success
fui workers IN that body that the state
has ever had. AS speaker of the house
he showed himself to be q thorough
parltar0 entarian audir that capacity iacii-
ilated the transaction Of Legislative bust
ness. His services as secretary of state
during period of eight years gave uni
versal satisfaction, and the legislative
committee that investigated his Office
this mouth reported that they could not
speak too highly of the manner in which
he conducted that office.
Mr.. Mcbride is a gentleman OF win
ming presence; has a reputation as q
friend maker md is deservedly popular
with the general public, Like Mr..
Mitchell, he is in close sympathy with
the people, and is not apt to forget that
it Is them he represents, He must real

the righteous revolt of the people against
ring rule and corporation influence. re
is true bimettalist rather than q radical
gold man or an ultra silver advocate. In
Mr.. Mcbride the white metal has friend,
who believes in restoring it to its proper
position as money. He is too much a
man Of the people to ever attempt to
override their wishes insinancial matters.
While Mr. Mcbride is a speaker of earn
estness and force, he will gain more re-
nown in the senate as an efficient worker
than as all orator.
Mr.. Mcbride Is man of sterling integ-
rity, not only in general matters, but
what is more rare, in political affairs.
He is more of statesman than politi-
cian,. and will represent Oregon with
credit, dignity..and efficiency.
BeingSa young man, his selection is
particularly gratifying to the younger
element of the party. Probably there
could have been no other candidate
elected that would give more general
satisfaction thansMr. Mcbride. It will
have the effect of closing the breaches
and settling the differences which the
long contest has engendered. The party
was on the verge of dangerous disrup-
ton which has happily been averted by
the election of a man who was identified
with neither faction. In his election the
Oregon legislature has done well.
