Press Comment on the Election.
Party fealty has become tlling OF
the past. Even the Democratic party
whose chief hold upon the masses in
the days OF It's glory, has, in a meas
ure, passed away. It's once powerful
grip has been loOsened and II no longer
chokes the liberty Of thought. Many
are leaving the party outright while
others remaining will not support
men for orilce not Of their liking
Roseburg Plaindealer.
ST.. Moorehead, who received $40
day for "a days for work on the journal
Of the last legislature was defeated
for reelection, receiving the lowest
vote on the Republican ticket In Lane
c0unty.--Albany Democrat.
Speaking OF Hermann's defeat in
I the Albany convention the Newport
News says:
"That 10 Is possible TO be 80 shows
that there is something radically
wrong yea even rotten lin our present
primaries system OF electing leglsla-
tors. In this IL is an insult TO our
boasted civil and political individual
rights, to our so called popular govern
ment and II cries aloud for amend
ment."
Mitchell, Pennoyer Vanderburg,
and Ellis. What an array OF linger-
ing, loathsome stencil In the nostrils
OF Harvey Scott!-Baker City Repub-
llcan.
The defeat OF Thomas Tongue for
congress will be little regretted by
many people, because few had any
confidence in him. "Sound money"
men dlstrusted him because his ac-
cession 10 their ranks had been very
recent, and the silver men despised
him for his sudden flop.-Roseburg
Review.
That John II. Mitchell will succeed
himself In the United States senate
Is not certainty, but he stands a
better show now than any other man
In the state. Silver Republicans,
Popullsts and Democrats will concen-
trate on him In preference TO any gold
standard man, and that no gold
standard man can be elected Is certain.
--Dalles Tlmes-Mountalneer.
IL was unfortunate for Sheriff Sears
that he permitted the use Of his name
In Simon's county convention. He
could have had the nomination from
the other side and been elected. He
would have had slight opposition had
he maintained the lofty position he
occupied two years ago. william
Frazier the most formidable oppOn-
ent that could be selected TO contest
the race with him, would not have
been In the Held, and George G. Sears
would most certally have been his own
successor. Portland Mercury.
Simon and the morning paper out
ragged the Republican party In Oregon.
They disrupted the organlzatlon-tore
IL limb from limb. In Multnomah
county decency was debauched az the
primaries, at the state convention
and later 10y the knitting OF several OF
the nominees OF that convention at
the behest OF Joseph Simon. The
conduct OF the "bosses" originated the
Mitchell Republicans and defeated
good men nominated In Joseph
Slmon's convention. Bulldozl1g and
treachery has been rebuked. Portland
Mercury.
Senator Mitchell voted with the
majority not 10 issue bonds. The
proposition Is all right but what on
earth is Cleveland 10 do TO feed his
English friends without boundsP-
Baker Republican.
The manner lu which the returns
are being handled In the first district
Is conclusive evidence that w. S. Van
derburg will not be permitted TO sue
ceed Hermann In congress. He was
elected without n doubt but that cuts
no figure with politicians when IL Is
possible 10 manipulate the returns
and count a successful candidate out
But let us wait day or two and
watch; then II will be time enough 10
talk.-Astorla Budget.
