A LOST OPPORTUNITY.

Through all its years of blunder-
ing stupidity the Democratic party
never made a greater mistake than
in declaring for free silver as it did
at the Portland convention. The
course of the Republicans in nomin
ating Ellis, a free silver man, had
given to the Democrats an opportu
nifty such as seldom comes. The
majority of voters in the Second dis
trict is opposed to the financial views
held by Mr.. Ellis, and had it not been
for the factional fight in Multnomah
county, he would have polled but
few votes in the convention. His
nomination was due to circum-
stances extraordinary in their ma
ture, and which overturned all cal
culations previously made.
Had the Democrats noted the feel
ing existing in Republican ranks at
the triumph of the free silver can
didate, and come to the front with a
sound money platform, honest in
statement and belief, it is by no
means sure but that enough sound
money Republicans would have
voted for the Democratic candidate
to have insured his election.
But blindness prevailed, and the
Democrats fell into the ditch, leav-
ing their opponents upon the brink.
Their action has destroyed any hope
of success in the coming campaign,
and, wrapped up in the free silver
delusion, they will suffer repetition
of former defeats.
From a Republican standpoint, in
the light of party advantage. the
action of the Democrats is all that
could be desired. Viewing the stu
alton from higher ground, it is dis
appointing that body of intelligent
men should declare their belief in a
poilcy winch by history and reason
is proved to be ruinous.
The Republican party can well
feel thankful for the magnanimity of
their opponents. It would have
been embarrassing in the extreme
had the Democrats declared for
sound money and nominated can
didate with views in accordance with
such a platform. But now the two
candidates are alike in their beliefs
upon the coinage question, while the
Republican nominee has the advan-
tage which his tariff views afford
him.

Garments made on premises. Perfect fit guaranteed

While the Republican state plat
form does not in so many words de-
clare in favcr of the gold standard,
it is far from expressing favor for
the free coinage Of silver. The
platform as adopted will meet with
general approval, though had the
action of the New York convention
been followed, and similar plank
adopted, the party would be less
open to the charge of equivocation.
However, outside of states repre-
sented by the senators who held up
the tariff bill, the sentiment of Re-
publican leaders is in favor of sound
money, and this is obtainable only
by refusing to coin silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1. The Republican
party is against the free coinage of
silver, and when restored to power
will place our coinage on a firm
basis. We think that, outside of a
small number who are needlessly
alarmed because everyone does not
believe as they do, the Republican
platform will commend itself.

ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the worlds fair, Chicago. Manufact-
urers of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain showing of their

under the application of the rule for

Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows !:

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. thereby destroying the foun-
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con-

squire; and the parson clambered will
