AS TO OREGON.
Chairman Breidenthal lis Sus-
picious of Reports.
Fears There Is eSCOunting OUT
in That State.
PACIFIC COAST
Favorable to POpuIist Ideas,
Says Breidenthal.
Some Remarks on National
Politics.

Bank Commissioner John w. Breiden-
thai. who is chairman of the Populist
state central committee, still believes
that his party has carried Oregon and
elected it's candidates for congress.
Speaking of the election today to a
State Journal reporter. Chairman
Breidenthal said:
1T seems strange that there is SO
much doubt about the way the cleo
ton is going. Here in Kansas we gen
orally know within two days what is
the result, yet in Oregon, they have had
nearly a whole week. Then, too, it
seems somewhat strange that all the
errors discovered so far should be
found to be in favor OF the Republi-
cans. 1t looks somewhat suspicious, Z
think"
Chairman Breidentha1 predicted q
victory for the Populists in Oregon sew
eraI weeks ago, and was positive that
his party would carry the state. He
thinks so yet, and says he viii not be
convinced that the Popuhsts have lost
1T may take the official count to de-
termine the result" he said, but
am confident that we wiz be winners.
We have good deal to contend with,
though, all the machinery being in the
hands of the Republicans and at their
disposal"
The chairman was asked if he
thought the closeness of the vote in
! Oregon, and the possible victory for the
Popunsts, would have its effect in other
/ coast states. and if it presaged POpulist
victory in the west In reply he said.
II think SO. You know we came very
/ near carrying California the last elec-
/ ton, and did elect a POpulist mayor for
/ San Francisco by q huge Majority
4 think this Oregon victory means that
/ we viii get a number of Pacific coast
states. perhaps Washington, and surely
/ Nevada, as well as Oregon and CALI

for it, This viii be a great year for the
