PENNOYER.S PLATFORM.


Portland April 6.-Ex-Gov. Sylvester
Pennoyer, who has been nominated for
mayor of this city by the Taxpayers
League and by the Populists. and who will
no doubt receive the Democratic nominal
ton next week. today addressed the fol-
lowing letter 10 b. Goldsmith. chairman of
The Taxpayers League:
In answer TO your letter apprising me
of my nomination for the office Of mayor
of the city of Portland by the Taxpayers
League, l will say that thank the league
and accept the nomination. The wages Of
labor, the prices of products, the volume
and profits of business. and the values OF
landed and all other property have all been
reduced in conformity to the recently
adopted narrow basis of one single money
metal But while this has been done, the
expenditures of government and the sal
aries OF officials have not been reduced,
and so our people are being ground to pow
erty between the upper milestone Of ex-
travagant public expenditures and high Of
fielal salaries and the neither milestone of
low prices and Frustrated industries. If
elected. II shall be my purpose, beginning
with the office Of mayor, to have public
expenditures conform to existing condi-
tons, SO far as the same can be done.
without impairing proper municipal ad-
ministration or interfering with necessary
public Improvements"

ton met today, but adjourned until April
