OREGON GOES SILVER.
~. y

Oregon elects both the Popu-
list congressman by round ma
jorities, and Portland elects Gov.
Pennoyer, Populist mayor by
1900. This is an overwhelm-
ing victory for the free coinage
and reform movement as. repre-
sented in the Oregon campaign
by the Peoples Party. The leg
islature is still in doubt. but
would naturally go the same as
the congressman.
This is a tremendous gain for
the free coinage principle and
the Peoples Party cause in Ore
gon. 1t is all the more signi-
ticant because the Republican
gold machine put into Oregon its
best resources in order to make
this first gun of the campaign
give forth Republican gold
thunders.
The Associated Press, the Of
fetal national organ of the G.. O.
P. gold machine, has tried it's
best to put a favorable front on
the Oregon returns. It first
announced that the state went
solidly Republican. Then it adj
mitted that the vote on congress
man was "close." At length, it
acknowledged that the vote on
first district congressman was
in doubt. Finally, it states this
morning that this congressman
is elected 1000 and tonight it
will have to admit the election of
the Second district congress
man by an equally large MAORI
| W. Inc vote on the two con
gresham, in which free coin
age was the issue, shows the
emphatic sentiment of Oregon
This victory: is most signif
cant. In 1890 there was no Pop
ulist ticket in Oregon. In 1892
and 1894 the Republicans Won
handily. In 1894, the vote
stood 41,034 Republican; 17,49s
Democrat; and 26,033 Populist
In other words, the Republi
cans had 1901 plurality owe,
the Peoples Party. This large
Republican plurality Of 1894 is
turned into a Populist plurality
of several thousands in 1896
The first gun of the campaign
may well be- heeded.-Penny

DR.. Johnson of the Willmar
Tribune, whether knowingly or
unknowingly, we know not,
seems to have taken the liberty
of accreditlng to, and then taking
this paper to task for an editorial
as foreign to both our thoughts
and our columns as it is to his.
We hope that the error was unin-
territorial and that it will be cor
rected. Mcintosh Times.
We cut the clipping from
"Fisher Bulletin where it stood
credited to Mcintosh Times. So
possibly this is another of Bro.
knappen's mistakes. It did strike
US as a peculiar doctrine, that it
make no difference who call a
committee together, and that
was the reason we called atten-
ton to it. We are pleased to
know that Bro. Lanman Of the
Mcintosh Times is not guilty of
uttering what was credited to
him. We apologize to Bro. Lam
man for circulating this state
ment, as coming from him, but it
was with the best of intention on
our part. But we feel gratitied
to know that we have hunted
down an error, and incidentally
became the means of calling Bro.
Lanman's attention to it. We
are more than pleased at his en-
phatic disapproval of the senti-
ment. The clipping should have
been credited to Fisher Bulletin
in Willmar TRIBUNE but by an
oversight in the office this was
omitted. We have just received
the first copy at this Office of Nc
InJosh Times and see it is wide
awake peoples party news paper
of the broad guag variety.
Shake Bro, Lanman: You will
find us som ewhat peculiar but
evidentally suffering from the
same species of insanity that
you yourself are infected with.

the Revolution, when the great
was first brought into
being and was inits infancy, they
were a most important element
Of our success. A large portion
of the Continental Army was of
foreign birth, indeed the very
backbone Of the men in the ranks
were of that class. The his
torian Lecky says:
No troops had shown them
selves more courageous, more
patient, and more devoted than
tee Pennsylvania line. Its
privates and noncommissioned
officers consisted chiefly of i'm
migrants from the north of Ire
land. 80
Again he shows by statistics
that the foreign born population
furnishes fewer criminals than the
native born. Senator Nelson is a
foreign born citizen, and con
spicious illustration of the truth
Of his views on this matter, and
it is especially to his credit that
heposseses the courage ofhis con
victions to voice them on the
floor of the Senate. Two thirds
Of the population of Minnesota
are foreign born or of foreign
parentage, and while we are all
whether native or foreign born
simply Americans, with equa
right and privileges, it is pecu
liarly appropriate that our state
should furnish a Statesman
broad minded enough to look a
this immigration question from
wide philosophic standpoint.
Senator Nelson has been crit
cised from certain quarters in tn
state for his views on this mat
ter. We think we can assure tn
Senator that what ever may b

We welcome to our desk the Willmar Trb-
une. OF course we don't agree with it's
politics. But il there is one honest populist
in the Seventh District it is DR.. Christian
Johnson, who writes the party editorials for
the Tribune, Our friend Victor Lawson
who manages the paper is also. an addition
to anyones acquaintance and does not fail
in keeping his paper a credit to the city,
Satterlee's Journal.
Satterlee's Journal of Red
Lake Falls give the editors of
Willmar TRIBUNEa kindly notice,
but intimates that it is aquestion
whether there are any honest
populists in the seventh district.
Bro. Satterlee is a talented man,
but we are sorry to say that his
talents are spent for the purpose
of perpetuating the present mon
ey system to the utter ruin of the
prosperity of the common peo-
pie here and elsewhere.
He publishes sound money plate
matter and last week he had q
very suggestive cartoon. There
is q big mogul engine labeled
''capital' under a full head of
steam, just in front of stands a
buffalo labeled "16 to l." in the
attitude of charging the COW
catcher with the intent of stop
ping or ditching the engine.
Above is the motto, ''plenty of
pluck, but poor Judgment
Yes! it is gruesome and fear
full picture of an awful truth.
Capital is a great mogul engine
under full head Of steam, plow-
ing ahead in it's mad career as
unfeeling and unconscious Of the
thoughts, aspirations and feel
ings Of ordinary humanity, as
the iron and steel in the locom0-
tor engine is Of the enraged OK
before it. In amoment the COW
catcher losses that OK bleeding
and battered wreck in. the ditch
and passes on to the next victim
with scarcely a culver in it's
machinery. So the engine Of
capital. For half d dozen of years
the bitches Of the highway Of
business has been filled with the
victims in the track. Not only
the common people who are
ground as the grasshoppers on
the track in 1876, but presidential
candidates, governors, bishops,
merchant princess lumber bar
ons, the Oldest and most reliable
business houses in the land lie all
in heaps the victims of the iron
levers of capital. And Bro
Satterlee and his pals stand off
and shout, "Bravo! Bravo! If you
don't want to be ground to dust
get out Of the way! Get off the
earth! Capital is king! Labor,
BRAIN, honesty, humanity, home
and happiness is all sentimental
nonsense. # you want to live,
get on the engine and take the
sop Of charity that capital gives,
