While Mr.. Bryan suits the third party
on the silver question, he is supposed ic
be friendly TO the corporations. That Is
why the Populists mistrust him and eX-
pains their covering OF his tracks in this
state.

the Northern Pacific and other corpora
tions."
The Populist nominee for mayor of
Portland next year wiz be Ex-Governor
Sylvester Pennoyer. The nomination will
be rendered to him at any rate.
Senator Henry E. McGinn, wha was
appointed by Governor Lord presiding
Judge of department No. of the circuit
court to succeed the late Judge Hurley,
is making an excellent waste Of words
and does not permit cases to lag At
torneys have been more pleased than
Otherwise to hear the court say such as
Counsel must not let this case lag"
Counsel for the defense wia cross ex-
- 'iro me witness" always said in a
pleasant but firm tone. Judge McGinn
has al ways been regarded as one Of the
best lawyers in Portland and his ability
and long loya, service to the Repub-
lican party earned for him the endorse
ment which the bar association gave him
for the judgship. Judge McGlnn, though
only S6 years Old, has been district at
toreny, senator and circuit judge.
An Oregon man, who is now in Wash.
lngton, says that President Cleveland,
following the example set by Harrison
in appointing a Democrat Gackson) to
the supreme bench, was somewhat dis
posed for a time to name a Republican
to succeed the ,ate Judge Jackson. The
writer was informed on good authority
that among the names of Republicans the
that of ex-senator Dolph of Oregon.
Dolph has high standing in the East as
jurist and the president has a good
opinion of him because of his soundness
on the money question. However, Mr.
Do!ph is not a candidate for any favors
at the hands of the administration and
probably does not know that his name
was under consideration. The same writer
says that 1t is the general impression at
the capital that the president is prepar-
ing an anti-third term manifesto. 1t may
be delivered during the Atlanta exposi-
tion and may be at the Jackson day
banquet in January.
A. T. Hawley, the Journalist who died
In police patro! wagon in Portland not
long ago, was private secretary to Sena-
tor SQUIRE of Washington when the sena-
tor was territorial governor. 1t was Haw-
lev who who wrote all the territorial re-
ports for which Squire claimed credit
and which were used as an evidence OF
his knowledge of the new state In his
first campaign for United States senator
six years ago. Hawley suffered much
from paralysis. He died in poverty.
Business Is much better than at this
time a year ago The volume Of trade
is larger and confidence is returning
slowly but surely. Money is finding its
way into circulation. Eastern capitalists
regard Oregon as good field for in
vestment and millions of doi'ars will be
sent here as soon as the financial un-
certainty passes away. Capitalists are
that the country ut large will
be for sound money, but fear that
the western states may fall into the
hands of the fiatists and laws inmlcRl
to money and corporate interests be en-
acted. If the elections next year show
a decision in favor OF sound currency
the western states will have more money
than they will know what to do with.
So far as Oregon is concerned 1t is con-
ceded here and we'll known in the East
that the Democratic state convention
win endorse Clevelands financial policy
and that the Republican convention will
not make single concession to free sill
YER and that II there is any danger OF the
Poplllists carrying the state thousands OF
sensible Democrats will vote the Repub-
lican ticket the same as they did last
year.

A Portland man Just back from San
