The long drawn out contest over
the Pullman postot1ice has at last
been decided, the president having
sent the name Of Geo. w. Ford to
the senate for confirmation as post
master Monday Ever since Cleve-
lands election as president the local
postotfice has been a thorn in the
flesh of our democrats, but Lo-
baugh was permitted to hold his
position till his term Of office had
about expired, and now Ford gets
the persimmon.
The appointment of Mr.. Ford
gives satisfaction to the mrjority OF
our business men, and if we must
have a democratic postmaster no
one could have been more accep-
tabla. George has also beeu a con
sistent democrrt, for which he has
now received his reward.
The senate has yet to confirm
the appointment, and after the red
tape has been gone through with
the postofIice will be turned over to
the new appointee. The salary at
tached is $l400.

&C. +. Durham, who had been
employed by the Washington Com
neecial Co. for some time past,
committed sdicide at the home Of
B. A. Mcclure, near Moscow, last
Sunday, by shooting himself
through the heart with a 38-caliber
revolver. Durham had been sep
arated from his wife for some time,
and Sunday be went to the Me
Guire place, where his wife was
working, and tried to effect a recon
ciliation. The woman, however,
would not listen to his pleas, and
refused to again live with him,
when Durham left the house end
went to where his team was tied.
Mrs. Durham then heard the re-
port of pistol, and investigation
proved that the man had taken his
own life. Death was almost IN
Simultaneous, Durham recognizing
no one after they reached him. The
fact that his wife and twa children
were separated from him had so
preyed upon Durham's mind that
he was undoubtedly insane, and SO
the coroner's jury decided. In Pull
man Durham had many friends, as
he was leading an exemplary life,
and had lately embraced religion,
but to be separated from a wife and
children whom he loved was to him
worse than death, and at last he
took his own tife as he had often
threatened to do The deceased
was a member of the local camp,
Woodmen Of the World, and car
ried $4,000 life insurance. in that
order, $1,000 of which is payable to
each of his children and to his wife
The funeral was held Tuesday un-
der the auspices Of the Woodmen,
number from this city attending.
The funeral sermon was preached
by Elder Lotz, and the interment
was in the Moscow cemetery, de-
ceased having left note requesting
that he be buried by the side of his
dead child. Let the mantle of char
ity cover over this last sad act OF
Chas. Durham.

The proposition that The Dalles
entertain the people interested IN the
opening of the locks is certainly one
that should appeal to the loyalty of
every citizen of Wascc county. The
Commercial Club has this matter in
hand, and if it is undertaken at all
it will. be well done. The business
men of The Dalles are ever ready
to respond to the appeals which are
in line with our commercial growth
and prosperity. They laid aside all
business rivalry and built line of
steamers, whose whistles have been
the strongest possible demands for
the speedy opening of the river.
This boat line has done more to
bring to g close the long drawn-out
construction of the locks than any
other one influence. They have
continued to operate the boats, some
times in the face of almost insur-
mountable obstacles. When the i'm
provement or building of new roads
has been called to their attention
they have always joined hands and
contributed literally. And now
that the most important event IN our
commercial history is about to occur
they will not hold back their purses
in presenting to that part of the
comm ercial world which is directly
interested in the locks at the Cascades
our commercial and social standing
The entertainment should be mos
hospitable one; but this does moi
necessarily mean a lavish expendi
ture of funds. It will take consid
erable sum, but not more than th'
people directly interested will bt
willing to give.

REPUBLICAN, CAMPAIGN
SUCCESSFUL.
THE

The most remarkable campaign in
the. history of the country since 1860
is drawing rapidly to close. Sell
dom has contest been so entiI ely
free from abuse or vilifcation of the
candidates; but seldom has so many
false representations been made. In
many instances the statements, no
doubt, were supposed to be tue,
and were innocently made. But in
too many cases when the truth was
made known the press and the cam
paigners continued to reiterate them.
The Republican press has been kept
busy disproving false allegations.
The whole campaign as originally
laid out by the Popocratlc managers
was upon false basis.
The act of 1873 was not surrepti
tiously passed, and this is now con-
clusively proven. Ernest Seyd, who
is alleged to have been employed by
London bankers to distribute 1eO,-
900 pounds sterling to demonetlze
silver in America, was a silver adj
Vocate and urged congress, by a
written paper to the committee who
had the act OF 1873 in charge, not to
drop the silver dollar from our none
tary system. Seyd was not in this
country at any time except some
tive or six years prior to the passage
of this act. The Bismarck letter was
garbled; Blame was misquoted; Gar
fields relatives were misrepresented
and hundred other fallacies were
put before the people and have been
disproved.
Last, but not least, the great foun-
daticn stone of Populism, the alleged
relation between wheat and silver
was knocked into a cooked hat, tc
use slang phrase, by nature herself
Now all our Populist friends have
left is the claim that the rich have
all the money. This we have never
disputed, for it would be indeed
queer if the poor had the money. Il
such were the case the bankers an6
shrewd business men would all be-
come poor, and the Populist, who
devotes his time to discussing the
affairs of the nation on street corner,
instead of repairing his fences anc
digging potatoes, would be rich
Then indeed it would be cry of rel
against the poor.
The real fact is becoming more
and more prominent that the Ameri
can people cannot be fooled all thu
time. Wise counsel and presenta

tournament. This was brought about by
the defeat of Team A in the contest with
Team 2. The result has placed Teams
