As soon as the latter have been

proceed to do the work as rapidly

If it should turn ont that the

The Indiana mem bers-elect of the
new House Of representatives have
agreed every candidate for postmaster
must submit his claims to the patrons
Of the Office which he seeks, and that
the man who makes the most favor
able showing in popular vote should
be recommended by the congressman
ofnhis district for the appointment
In pursuance of this plan it is pro-
posed that elections shall be held in
every town in the state in order that
the people shall have the largest
liberty in choosing men to fill their
post offices.

Free silver won in IL of he states
that were carried by the repu blican'
at the last preceding election, namely
Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina
South Dakota, Tennessee. Utah,
Washington and Wyoming. In addi
tion to this free silver won in all the
territories.
The republicans went in to the cam.
paign with So states in their column
and came out with but %.
The returns will show that fifteen
counties heretofore republican in
Oregon have been carried by the silver
forces united under Bryan. These
forces If they remain united will form
an opposition party Of the people that
will be formidable in the future. II
is doubtful if there can ever again be
put in the field three distinct silver
parties as was done in Oregon last
June.

American Economist, Nov. 20:Spec-
ial from Bradford, England, the great
manufacturing center for America n
markets, Date Nov. 7:-Hurrah, Nc
Kinley won! Bryan smashed. When
this glorious message was blazed
abroad the intensity Of feeling among
the Bradford business men was DEM
onstrated on all sides by outbursts of
enthusiasm and throughout the whole
of England shout went up. In Lon
don there was thorough ferment"
What were the British celebrating?
The triumph of protective tariff doc
trines, or their downfall? Nc. is not
the colossal bugbear in English eyes

dah speeches to workingmen.

Mr.. Bryan at Denver exactly ex-
pressed the sentiments of the voters
who supported him in every village
and city of this land when he used the
following words:
81 think 1 have never seen a body of
voters rally so soon after a campaign
in which they were defeated as they
have at this time, and l believe that
/ speak within the limits of the truth
when l say that our people who fought
so hard for free silver are as happy to-
day in defeat as our enemies who were
victorious, and have yet to find the
first person who regards the defeat of
this year as a final defeat. The free
silver people are satisfied that four
years more of the gold standard will
convince those who have been deaf to
reason that they are wrong, land at the
next election they will be only too glad
to rally around the banner about
which you have been fighting"

The OregOnian says candidates fo
either house Of congress who don't
unhcsitatingly declare for the single
gold standard have no just claim VI on
Republican support. As the Repub-
licans have a majority of about
twenty on joint ballot in the next
legislature this is equivalent TO de-
claring that Mr.. Mitchell, the pIon-
e,r champion Of free coinage on the
Pacific coast, must come out for the
single gold standard or stay at home.
Mr.. Mitchell does not want to do
either. As among tie politicians in
this state, who have been silver men
in the past, Mr.. Mitchell has the pres.
tige of great experience and influence
in his favor. No sincere silver man
or supporter of independent Ameri-
can bimetallism can afford to vote for
any of these men who have been
trifiing with this subject. They
should vote for no man who is under
the control of the money power or of
the corporations. We have too many
such men in congress now.

The Democrats of independence
have put out a strong city ticket. 1t
is not yet known what part the Bryan
voters Of Salem will take in the city
election here. Silver men as such
have no concern in city politics but
the silver forces should not and will
not Stultify themselves with support
ofany bonding schemes. Mayor Catch s
administration has thwarted all such
schemes for the past four years. and
no more bonded debt should be fast
ened upon this city. 1t robs the
workingman and creates class who
live by clipping coupons for which the
rest pay high taxes. This city is
now paying more for interest than
would build miles Of good streets each
year. If such taxes were levied to
build good streets, and employ labor

against it. But high taxes that go

once down, disease finds an easy en-
trance.
If there is weak spot in the body, dis
ease-germs will find it. They will lodge
right in that spot and unless they are
driven out at once, will increase and
multiply and grow into seriousness.
Weakness is a predisposition to disease.
Whether the weakness be local or gen
eral, it is dangerous. Good healthy
strength all over the body is the best
safeguard against disease. Debility of
any kind is direct invitation to serious
sickness. The reason that DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures o8 per
cent. of all cases of consumption if taken
in the early stages of the disease, is that
it puts the whole body into hearty,
healthy condition. The poisonous tuber.
cular matter is thrown off by the
lungs, and the pure, rich blood cours-
ing through them, quickly stops the
Inflammation, heals the broken mem.
braues and makes the lungs perfectly
strong and sound. Consumption is
marked by wasting away of the bodily
tissues and vice versa. A wasting of the
flesh brings on consumption. Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in
duces the accumulation of sound, hard,
healthy flesh. 1t increases the appetite
and the capacity of the digestive organs

fer, tonic and powerful curative rem

The A. p. A. isn't doing much brag'
ging about what il accomplished In
the campaign, and that isn't strange
either. It's two most prominent and
outspoken members Of the house
/ Linton, of Michigan, and Hainer, OF
! Nebraska, were defeated for re-elec.
tion. and in the sixth Maryland dis.
trict Mudd was elected, although the
entire power OF the \. u. a. was
openly used against him. Oregon was
flooded with circulars from Linton
who had found 10y Scrapiug the con-
gressional records that Bryan voted
with a majority of congress against
putting a sentence in the constitution
of New Mexico that no language but
the English should be taught there in
the public schools. No such clause
was ever put in the constitutions Of
new states seeking admission. But
Bryan's name was printed in black
letters in the roll call on this vote in
congress and Mr.. Linton's pamphlets
in the interest Of the A. p. \. were
seat to every voter by the Republican
Dational committee. AZ the same
time the national committee was
sending confidential letters to every
preist of the Catholic church and all
other denominations appealing to the
church to uphold Mckinley in the in
terestS of morality and religion.
With unlimited money and abandon
ment of all principle, Mark Hanna's
committee was thus able to catch
both the A. p. \. and Catholic vote.
viii the administration be able to
serve and satisfy both? Was there
ever a more un-American victory won,
ind one which an honorable man
'eels less pride in jubilatiug over, to
'ay nothing of profiting by it?
