was held on June I, of this year.
Yesterday thirty days had elapsed
since the election had been held,
and according to the statutes the
time for filing contest expired with
the expiration of the thirty days.
During that time no contest on the
election was fled III this county,
and none can now be filed.
1t is we'll that it is as it is. No
good could have possibly come of a
contest, but a whole train of evils
would surely have followed. Not
the least of these evils would have
been the sectional feeling that it
would have engendered and fostered.
We understand that wiser counsels
have prevailed at Yaquina and on
the south side of the river and those
people, while they worked hard to
secure the county seat at West
Yaquina now accept the situation
and want to drop all differences and
work for the best interests of the
county. This is as it should be,
and as we believed it would be.
The resident people of Yaquina and
the south side are too broad minded
and sensible to be beguiled into a
struggle that would mean nothing
but injury to all concerned.
Now that wisdom has prevailed
in this matter let there be a real
union between all parts of the
county. We are not ashamed to
admit on the part of Toledo and
the north side that we need the
help of the people of Yaquina,
Beaver Creek, Alsea, Yahats, and
that whole south country. On the
other hand we believe that our helr
and good will toward them will not
prove to be an injury toward them.
For the Toledo and north-side peo-
pie we do not hesitate to promise
that they will meet every friendly
advance to bridge the chasm that
the late conflict has made more
than half way.
Letus then bury all past differences
and in the future work as an united
whole tor the best interests of ali
the county. Let us aid and assist
each other in settling up and i'm.
proving our vacant lands, making
roads, building school houses and
churches, and the furthering ot
every legitimate enterprise within
our county. Let us turn oui
energies in those channels instead
of exhausting ourselves trying tc
tear down and destroy each other.
The result will be a realization oi
many of our fondest hopes. If we
work with a common effort for the
advancement of all parts of our
county we will reap a bountiful
harvest for all. Then let us be
united, for like bundle of sticks
that represents the strength oi
union, united we cannot be broken,
but separate the bundle and each
separate stick may easily be broken.

CRUSHING DEFEAT
Sustained by Spanish Troops
Commanded by General
Juarez InClan.
The Leader himself Said to Have
Been Captur ed.

Key West, Fla The Spaniards
under Gen. Juarez Inclan have sus-
tanned a crushing defeat at the hands
of the insurgents under Antonio
Maceo, according TO advices received
by the Cuban revolutionary leaders
in this city. Not only was Inclan's
column defeated with heavy loss, but
the Cuban leaders are informed that
it is currently reported in Havana
that the Spanish General himself was
captured and is now held as prisoner
by Maceo. The battle is said to have
occurred on July Is near Maceo's
strong hold in the province of Pinar
del Rio. For the last two weeks the
insurgents have been very aggressive
and small parties have repeatedly at
tackled the Troacha, causing the Span
iards much annoyance. Gen. Inclan
was ordered to drive back these de-
tached bands of insurgents and for
this purpose took with him 1000 men.
Maceo seems to have expected such
a movement and arranged to ambush
the Spaniards. The Spaniards fol-
lowed the insurgent skirmishers in
cautiously and fell into the ambush.
Then the insurgents opened fire from
all sides, which threw the Slaniards
into confusion. While the Spaniards
were thus dis0rdered the Cubans
charged completely routing their foes.
Gen. Inelan made desperate effort
to rally his demoralized forces, but
was surrounded by the Cubans and
compelled to surrender. 1t is reported
in Havana, according to the revolution
lists here, that the Spaniards were
pursued almost to Trocha and lost
more than 300 men killed and wound
ed. There were fourteen officers
among the killed. Cubans here also
say Maceo will hold Inclan as hostage
to save the lives of prominent insur-
gent officers who have been captured
by the Spaniards.

Hon. j. w. Bookwalter, of Spring

from visit to the east, in an inter-
view he said, "Bryan will be elected

that the convention would not allow a
crown of thorns pressed down upon
the brow of labor and not permit
mankind to be crusiied upon golden

was the real sentiment of the people.

The inimitable and invincible
Henry Watterson, would be boss in
politics, has cracked his whip from
across the waters and demanded a
revolt in Democratic ranks. The
party which he thought was legion
and would be obedient to his will, is
composed of only few disorganized
boilers, who are crying aloud and the
responses are the echoes of their wild
vocferations for cause which has
proven itself disastrous, Inflated and
calametous to our countrys cause +.
Mr. Watterson will be without an
organized following and his demand
for another ticket will, in our opinion,
90 unheeded. Mr.. Watterson is not

rant of the real condition of affairs

Mr.. Henry Watterson, who is stay.
ing at Geneva, Switzerland, has al.
lowed himself to be interviewed by
New York Herald representative in
which he says of the ticket nominated
at Chicago:
personally, il is an exceptional
ticket. Mr.. Bryan is a most worthy
and well-educated young man, with a
talent for what passes for oratory,
He is fervid, sincere. poor and honest.
Mr.. SewalI is a Democrat of long
standing and credit"
In answer to a question for his
opinion OF the platform he said
"Monstrous. 1t not only means
national reputation and spoliatioD,
but is an open door to revolution. If
the leaders Of this movement could
come into power, those of them who
have any sense Of accountability, any
conception of orderly government,
would be quickly set aside by the
wild elements behind. In this way
civil war, as toreshadowed by the
Chicago out break last year, could be
precipitated upon the country"
When asked about third ticket he
expressed himself as strongly in favor
of the talked of departure on the part
of the gold Democrats.
Mr.. Watterson is long way
from home to be 30 free in
his expressions of opinion on
political matters here. E{e has been
away from this country and out of
touch with its politics a sufficient
length of time for his opinions and
advice to lose much of their old time
weight.

The Philadelphia Times suggests to
Mr.. Bryan that he overlooked script
ural allusion in his great speech at
Chicago. An incident in the career
of another brilliant young man who
rose to the chief place in his nation,
might be presently pertinent. 1t is
recorded in the first book of Samuel,
viz:
David, therefore, departed thence
and escaped to the cave OF Adullum ;
and when his brethren and all his
fathers house heard it, they went
down thither to him.
"And every one that was in distress,
and every one that was in debt, and
every one that was Discontinued,
gathered themselves unto him; and
he became a captain over them. -
Daily Capital.
The Times and the Capital both
overlooked the fact that David soon
afterw ards became king, and that his
country under him reached height
of prosperity never equaled before
