Washington, May 22-The debate
in the senate took on decidedly DO
litical aspect. The most interesting
feature was a declaration by Mr..
George, democrat of Mississippi, that if
the republicans would agree on a fair
non-partlsan tariff measure, he would
vote for it, even including a duty on
wool and lumber, tax on beer and
higher tobacco taxes. Mr. Dubois
called attention to the fact that all
hVe republican boiling senators had
been endorsed, and announced that
SILVER would have to be recognized IN
any tariff bill. Mr.. Butler renewed his
motion to take up the bill prohibiting
the issue of interest bearing bonds,

In the house the Phillips labor com
mission bill which was to have come to
vote was completely crowded out by
the conference reports on the river and

conference report on the harbor bill,
which reported agreement on all items
save that relating to Santa Monica and
San Pedro harbors, California, was
made the basis of bitter attack on
the bill by Mr. Hepburn, republican of

A call has been issued by leading
populists Of Marion county for meet.
ing at Salem next Saturday. The call
will explain the situation:
"There Is ample proof that high
handed piece Of fraud and trickery is
being perpetrated under color Of law,
whereby Hon. w. s. Vanderburg, the
legally elected congressman for this
district, is being unlawfully and fraud
ulently counted out, and Hon. Thos.
H. Tongue counted in, contrary to the
expressed will Of the majority Of the
legal voters Of this district.
Therefore we call upon all good and
law-ablding citizens who believe In
honest elections, in an honest vote and
fair count, to unite with us in pub
lie mass meeting duly and lawfully
assembled, to take such measures as
may be necessary to protect the purity
Of the ballot box, and TO utter our pro-
test and indignation against the most
disgraceful attempt to defeat the will
Of the people ever attempted In the
history Of our state, and If allowed to
be consumated would be lasting dis
grace to the name of our state.
therefore, all good citizens are re-
quested to assemble at Marion square
where gooc speakers will address the
assemblage."

he was.
Quite crowd came In from the hills

so excited talking about politics and
how much they would bet, that the
ladies had to walk around them in the
street or cross over to Gibson to get by.
The marshall had to eat dinner that
day on time, the same as any other
day, and as we don't need any deputies
in quiet town like this, a blockade Of
