SOME QUEER IDEAS.

Some Of the Portland Bosses seem to
have Queer Ideas. They are willing a
man should talk reform as long a. he
don't mean It. The Oregonian does not
object to q Jay talking against the use
Of money 10 election because Quay
says,it but because he is known TO be a
man who means what he says.
There is no objection among this
CLASS to John II. Mitchell because he
says be is for gold and silver as stand
ard money, but because they suspect
be is in earnest about it, and means
what he says.
They do not object TO platforms and
candidates that talk about econony
aud reform ss long as 1t is only talk.
But when they finds man who means
Just what he says, and swears with
I'D Hickory Jackson thst by the eter-
nal he will carry out what is promised
the people, they have no further use
for him.
This same class of sham Republicans
are all admires Of Grover Cleveland, a
goldbug who was smart enough to be
elected on a platform promising the
money of the constitution. They
admire Carlisle and Hoke Smith who
a few years ago were rampant free sll.
