VOTERS are discussing the
prospects for a lively political
campaign this spring. Two years
ago there was a general EXPIRES
sion in favor of a clean, harmo-
nious campaign, devoid of un-
|pleasantness. Glee clubs were
organized and we had some nice
music, recitations and speeches,
and everything gave evidence of
brotherly love. Republicans and
democrats gazed at each other
with afectionate eyes and all
went merry as a Philomath dance
until the canvass fairly opened.
Then the music and speaking
still continued, but they were
minor notes in the grand chorus.
Republicans, democrats and pop
ulists were on the rounds with
large sized hammers and ringing
fire bells, The search light of
history was turned on the darkest
and furtherest corner of every
candidates character, and there
was a general scramble for mud.
There is a general desire for a
decent campaign in the county
during the coming election, and
it is possible we shall enjoy that
luxury, but 1t will be a safer
proposition to cooper" than to
play straight up" The signs
of the times point to a real live,
interesting campaign.

THE Times, touched to the
quick by our casual mention of
its "cuckoo" propensities, sneers
at the GAZETTE, asserting that
it reprints from the Times. The
charge is a master study in the
art of revenge. The accusation
that the GAZETTE relies upon
such source for its information,

Compare the work of all the

gon ever had previous to the year
1886, and see the result. Before
1886 Oregon had received OH
these several public works the
total sum of 81, ,3eo,7o3.o2, while
during the ten years (not includ-
ing the year 18o4) of Hermann's S
service in the house, and ex-Sen-
ator Dolph and Senator Mitchell
in the senate, we have the mag
nifcent sum of 81, ,126, $50. IL,
or to be palmer, 81, 2,726, e66. 80
more than the combined efforts
of all previous representation in
both houses were able to secure
for us. Nearly three times as
much money has been appropri-
ated for Oregon since and includ-
ing 1886 as there was altogether
before that date. I doubt very
much if half the people in the
state fully understand the full
extent and benefit Oregon has de-
rived from the active, intelligent
and efficient labor of our delega-
ton. w. V. is informed that
Mr.. Hermann did not furnish
these, or any other figures; they
are correct, however, and I-chal-
lenge w. ", or any one else to
disprove their correctness. They
are taken from the official records
of the war department. If Mr..
Hermann entered the ring by
telegram, against the caucus NOM
inee, it was unwise, but there are
many republican politicians who
did the same thing in person, and
would like to be recognized as
Hermann's successor. l said
some of these appropriations were
raised in the senate by ex-Sena-
tor Dolph and Senator Mitchell's
influence. I shall try and obtain
the exact amounts, and give it to
the public later, as it is no part
of my intention to deny full
credit where it is due our public
servants. The first consideration
with me is the best interest of
the state; second, the ambition
of my political friends. Who
ever receives the nomination at

political organizations existing
now, and that there have been
such in the past, which are free
lIo1u, ,corrupting influences in the
matter of platform utterances.
l will not venture to say that all
political organizations are not
free from it for my experience
has been very limited. But one
does not have to actually pass
through a convention to under
stand where the platform of free
and self-governing people has
been moulded in, or modified to
meet the interests of persons, or
classes of persons who derive
great pecuniary benefit from the
legislation, resulting from the
election of men who make laws
in harmony with such platforms.
Whenever a party platform is
thus framed to protect class inter
ests, regardless of the rights of
all the people, and legislation
results therefrorn which carries
out the intents of such platforms,
then the free citizens of America,
who do not happen to fall within
the protected class, are far from
enjoying the inalienable rights
of freeborn American citizens.

London for his speeches at Boston and Edinburgh.
Mr. Adams (Rep., PENN was the first speaker, sup
porting the passage Of the resolutions. He paid .
high tribute to the personal character OF MI Bayard
and said that he was the first American to bear the
title Of Ambassador. The duties OF that position
had been defined by the conference at Berlin In 1874
An Ambassador and should be considered az
the personal representative Of his sovereign. There

pointed Ambassador by Mr. Cleveland. he became
the representative Of the sovereignty residing IN the
whole American people. and should no more cast .
reflection the character or policy OF that people
than the Ambassador Of a reignng personal sover'

policy of his royal master.
