Well, Well.

The Kentucky Republicans have
swallowed "Ten Dollar" Breckenridge,
body and boots, Shiny reputation and
all, by nominating him for Congress!
1t seems that to be formally re-
ceived into fellowship by the party of
pretenses, the party of professed NOR
ality, the grand old party that pro-
fessedly saved the Union without
any help from Democratic command
ers like Grant and Stevens, and Fight
ing Jo Hooker and Meade, and a host
of others, and of the party that Sc
cured peace without the aid of blood
shed by Democratic veterans whose
badges of Office were their muskets,
like Charity "covers multitude of
sins," and though they be as scarlet,
regulations may be made white as
snow simply by falling down and
worshiping the Golden calf.
The wrong done 10 wOmannOOu, 10
morality, to common decency, in the
elevation of moral leper to respecta-
bility, is the crowning act of infamy
of the "plutocratic" party.
1t is said, however, that this nomi-
nation is not whit worse than that
of the head of the Republican ticket
OF this State.
Here is a theme for discussion by
the numerous Mckinley clubs of the
sex most interested in the punishment
of those who lower the estimate ir
which the crown jewel of womanhood
| is held.

olt of darkness into light, from dis
order to order and from error to truth,
is for great party to stand together
and face the coming contest with a
bold front and determination to win
at all hazards. The old precept is
good wholesome advice just now
"United we stand, divided we fall"
The gist OF our train OF reasoning,
doubtless applies to all parties, but it
applies in the present instance par
excellence to the Peoples party and
the hosts that are destined to make
Mr.. Bryan the next President of the
United States.
The reiteration is then again iter-
ated, to stand together. Do not coun-
tenance the fusion of two fusions by
mutilating .our ticket. Let your
vote be in every respect an integral
effort to lift our standard to its home
in the blue of heaven.

Charles n, Aver.

When any reform movement in GOV.
ernment is inauguratcd, there are few
master minds that take the lead. Sc
it was with the tremendous movement
now i'll progress to overthrow the ever
increasing tyranny of the money pow
er in this country, and none were ear
lier at the front than the People,
Party candidate for Superior Judge
Charles II. Aver. He was born at
Saybrook, Connecticut, and reared on
a farm. He had the benefit of the
excellent public schools of that state
and also attended the Seabury Insti-
tute. He took the full course in law
at Yale College and graduated from
that institution in 1888 and was admit
ted to the bar in that state. His health
failing him, he did not resume work
that year, and in 1854 came to Olym-
pia. This being the capital, he con-
sidered it the best place to study local
laws. He was an entire stranger and
set to work in his profession. BY his
industry and personal and professional
integrity, he has become one of the
foremost lawyers in the state.
In the summer of 1891 he married
a daughter of l. c. Ellis, of this city,
and his family now consists of his
wife and four boys.
Born during the early days of the
war, he inherited the strong Union
feeling of those years and has always
been a Republican. Though not an
ofhce-seeker he has held several i'm
portant offices, always discharging his
duties to the satisfaction of the pub
lie. In 1894 he was chairman OF the
Republican County Committee, and
under his management this county be-
came the banner Republican county
of the State, every nominee on the
DtillS CltNttu.
held the position of chairman of the
committee until the action of the
Republican national convention re-
versed its former position on the coin
age OF silver He then became active
in organizing the silver forces of the
State AS the time for the county
convention drew near, the almost
unanimous sentiment of the county
turned to him as the nominee for
Judge, and since the convention the
sentiment in favor of his election is
gaining an increased strength. His
election, besides being a rebuke to the
State ring that controlled the Repub-
lican county convention, would bring
to the high Office of Superior Judge a
lawyer of great ability and unchal-
lenged integrity.

Do Not Scratch Your Ticket,

A scratched ticket is diluted ticket,
and a diluted ticket is weakened
ticket. Fusion is legitimate and
honorable but the union of two fu-
sions is confusion and should be viewed
with grave suspicion. A voter may
have reasonable objections to some
name on the ticket he proposes to
vote, but this is, at best, only q per-
sonal matter and should be subordi-
nate to public veal. The Peoples
ticket made up during the present
eventful campaign represents the un'
ion or fusion, that is. the melting to-
gether i'll a harmonious whole, of a
trio or more of great principles repre-
senting momentous issues of the day
and hour to which the American peo.
pie are living.
Never was a more vital time in oui
political history and the surest way

The "OMcial" Ward.

The Fifth ward is well represented
on both of the tickets at the
coming election: On the Republican
ticket by the Secretary of State, State
Printer, Commissioner of Public Lands,
one member of the Legislature, County
School Superintendent, County Clerk,
Surveyor and Coroner. On the Peo-
pies Party ticket, the Superior Judge,
Sheriff, Auditor, Attorney, School SUI
perintendent and Justice of the Peace.
The ward contains few State Off
cials also-the Secretary of State, State
Printer, two Judges of the Supreme
Court, State Land Commissioner, Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction and
the Tenas Governor. OF Federal Off
GERS, the Register of U. S. Land Office,
Surveyor General and U. S. Commits
sioner; the Mayor of the city, the
Chairman of the Jack Republican
State Central Committee, "The Off
cial Family" and last but not least
the local Mark Hanna of the 6. o.
p. The balance of the able bod
led voters are principally ex-oflicials
or employees in the public offices.
! Prior to the meeting OF the different
political conventions it was stated that
at least 80 per cent. of those i'll the
ward eligible to hold Office were candi-
dates. This assertion is borne out by
the number Of successful candidates.
The Fifth is strictly in it, and we chal-
lenge any ward or precinct in fhe
State to make q better showing in this
line.

Ladies" of the city and women"
of the country! There is the distinc-
tion which Snobocracy draws between
honest worth and sasSiety" senti-
mentality.
1t is evident from the wording of
this simple announcement that the
snobs of this republic are in rhapport
with the "upper crust" of the Old
world, who use the term lady as So
cial distinction corresponding to
"lord," and to distinguish the We're
de-Veres from the plain individual
who answers to the name of woman"
which means simply the female of the
human race, who fills the important
place of helpmate to man and per-
forms the holy offices of wife and
mother.
1t was this spirit that impelled the
Oregonian to allude to Mrs Bryan as
the "rustic" wife of the Peoples Pres
idential candidate. A woman who,
by the way, is an honor to woman
hood, and the peer of the man who
wrote the vulgar criticism in intel
lectual force.
1t was this spirit of Snobocracy that
worded the above invitation to the
"women from the country" But it
Is said "Whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad" and in this
instances the aninus was displayed SO
plainly that none may fail to see it.
One woman who lives but few
miles in the country received a cor
dial invitation by mali to call on the
Woman's Sound Money Club, and
complied with the request. She says
that she was received with much cor
diality by ladies who had been strsn.
gers to her during a prolonged resi-.
dence in the same county and almost
the same town; that she was RECALLED
with many reasons why the women
should support "sound" money and
'honest" government. She listened
with all the complacency that the
honors required, and the ladies were
elated with their success in obtaining
a compliant "stool pidgeon." But on
her return home her advice to her
son was "Shout for silver, work for
silver, and when you vote, let it be
the whole Peoples ticket, with single
X"
That is about the extent of the work
accomplished by the Ladies' Moneyless
Partisan Club, which hold Mckinley
and Palmer and Sullivan up as models
that are worthy Of imitation

Cause of Discomfort.

The Agricultural Department has
issued a circular that will help to ex-
plain why the farmers are not as happy
now as they used to be. 1t compares
the prices of leading farm products
year by year, from 1866 to 1895. The
prices are given in currency, but
wheat reduced to a gold basis the
results are sufficiently striking. In
speci these figures, for instance:

IT is noticeable that Mckinley was
unusually quiet prior to his nomina-
ton regarding the alleged dishonesty
of the dollar. If the silver dollar is
dishonest now, it must have been dis
honest then; and if it was dishonest
then why did not the Canton states
man call our attention to it2

THE P.-L. artist has undoubtedly
lost his situation since the appearance
of the half-page illustration OF the
parade in Seattle last night. Just
three men are observable in all that
crowd who had enthusiasm enough to
wave their hats while cheering. But
then the haste with which these " on
the spot" pictures are made, from the
time an X-ray penetrates the darkness
to enable objects to impress the sensi-
tive film in the camera, to the time
that nature etches the metal surface
is so short from start to finish-only a
few hours-that there is an almost
irresistible temptation to prepare the
plates beforehand, from the mind"
in which case such blunders would be
inexcusable.

inexcusablt

"THE silver is mine, and the gold
is mine," saith the Lord of hosts. In
these wonderful words pronounced by
the Almighty himself, there is no de-
thronement of the white metal. On
the contrary, in the order of mention,
it stands first in the original Hebrew
as well as in the Greek of the Septua-
gint and the Latin of the Vulgate.
In a word, the clearest bimetallism is
the policy of the Bible from beginning
to end.

The indictment of all merchants
who have in their employ white
clerks, by the recent grand jury,
was rather a surprise to many, as
it was generally believed that tho
law would be dead letter in the
white district. No measure ever
adopted by the Cherokee nation
will have such tendency to cre-
ate dissatisfaction among the citi-
zens of the nation as this law. 1t
is arbitrary, unjust and unfair to
one of the most progressive and
loyal classes of citizens. Many
hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been invested in buildings
and goods that would not have been
spent if the merchants of the na-
ton had known that they could
not employ whom they pleased.
Now that they have invested these
vast amounts, and lawfully too, to
be restricted from employing whom
they please IS an unjust imposi-
tion. Such class legislation Is one
of the strongest arguments why
tribal government should be abol-
ished and in their stead erected a
form of government which will
protect all in their just rights

their proposed work in this nation:
In the execution of the duties
thus required of them the CON-
mission thus again appeals to you,
to the constituted authorities OF
your nation to authorize some per-
son or persons to meet and confer
with them upon the subjects and
matters embraced in their origin al

explained in communication here
totore to your duly constituted au-
thorities.
To that end they request that
they may be notified at an early
day what time and place and with
whom said conference may be
held. Before entering upon the
execution of the additional duties
required of them by this the COM
mission takes this occasion to as
sure the people and the govern
ment of each of the five civilized
tribes, that the United States gov
ernment is most anxious to accom-
plish the results contemplated by
this legislation through negotia-
tions; tina: whatever changes in
present conditions may be at
tanned, shall be reached with the
consent and cooperation of those
who are TO be most affected there
by, and on terms that shall be by
them deemed most honorable and
just.
Any communication addressed
at VInita will be duly acknowl-
edged.

The citizenship lawyer is abroad

devour some intruder up.

We do not wish to appear as &
derider of things sacred, but we dc
think that it is almost ridiculous
to have men circulate petitions tc
the chief of this nation, asking him
to set aside day for special pray
er, looking for divine interference
in the matter of the proposed
changes in the conditions of the
country. When will such people
learn that such matters are not
subjects for divine intercession.
They are simply matters of busi-
ness and the result of the ever in
creasing domination of the advance
of progress and civilization, and
they might as well ask the divine
power TO stop the falls of Niagara
as to ask him to interfere in such
matters as his.-Bartlesville Mag
net.
To those who believe in divine
providence the above does not
seem to be exactly orthodox. The
God that condescends to note the
fall of sparrow, and keeps a rec
ord of tho number of the hairs of
the head, will certainly not fail to
shape the destiny Of the Cherokee
nation,
