MITCHELL AND BARLEY

1
The gold standard organs are has
tening TO the support and laudatlon
Of Senator Mitchell, the poineer adj
vOcate OF free coinage on the Pacific
coast. II Is their custom TO heap
such batteries on man whose neck
they wish to break politically, and the
senior Oregon senator is not wise II
he is deceived thereby.
In the same column is renewed the
demand that Hon. II. l.. Barkley re-
sign as Republican member Of the leg
isIature from Marion county. They
would slaughter man whom they
could not defeat in the primaries, at
the convention, or at the polls. They
would make senator the man who In
January last told them they might as
we'll expect TO build railroad to the
planet Mars, as try TO get interna-
tional blmetallism with the consent
OF England.
Senator Mitchell Will open his
speaking campaign for Mckinley at
Woodburn, the home OF the Marion
county man who told the Republicans
that II they made gold standard
platform he would not stand upon 1t
and who has kept his word. Senator
Mitchell will show the silver Republic
cans how they c.ln stand upon gold
standard platform-how TO build a
railroad to the planet Mars! Barkley
isn't as smart a man as Mitchell.
Senator Mitchell has undoubtedly
the right to construe the Mckinley
platform. He has a right to convince
Democrats, Populistsand Republicans
that the Mckinley platform is con-
structed of pure silver sixteen to one.
But he has no right To build that
railroad TO the planet Mars after he
said IL could never be done. Bryan
and Barkley will favor putting an in
junction on building IL.

FOR BRYAN AND WATSON,

The union electoral ticket in Ore
gon is instructed and pledged for
Bryan and Watson. This was brought
about at Portland Aug. 25th and the
Bryan and Watson ticket will be COM
posed OF two Peoples party electors,
one Democratic elector, and one
American Blmetallic party elector.
The agreement as TO the men is not
yet perfected, as some are still refus'
ing TO withdraw who have already
filed their acceptance. But no doubt
the perfected Bryan and Watson elec
toral ticket is an accomplished fact.
A spirit OF justice, fairness and
moderation prevailed throughout the
conference. Both the Peoples party
and the Bryan Democracy were will
Ing TO cOncede an elector to the silver
Republicans. Wise counsel and har
mony prevailed and the result will bt
an union of forces against the gold
standard in Oregon. There will be
but two electoral tickets In the field

The Statesman says Bryan's repud-

not unusually worry much about the
minister's salary or any other feature
of his work, but now it is greatly ex-

The long expected letter from the
Federated Trades council OF Milwau-
kee to the Chicago Trade and Labor
assembly that no Milwaukee trades
union or central body was responsible
for the letter which caused the Chi-
cago organization to drop the investi-
cation directed against Henry u.
Payne arrived. Matters have pro-
gressed to that stage in this city
where the letter received some time
ago is generally pronounced a forgery
and the desire is to find the man re-
sponsible for IL. August Lueders, a
member of the grievance committee
of the Trade and Labor assembly, has
announced that he purposes to contln-

who wrote the letter. and that he
will then publish the name of the
writer. 1t is the general belief that
the letter was written by Chicago
man, and some one well acquainted
with the workings OF the committee.

printed a form for forecasting the

common that nine-tenths Of all the sickness
In the world Is tTaceable to II. II is merely
that simple, common thing-constipation
There Is no telling what Il may lead to, but
mediate effects are unpleasant in the ex-

them headaches, makes the digestion poor,

OUR ILLINOIS LETTER.
tContlnued from first pase.l


MUST CARRY ILLINOIS TO WIN.
This belief was probably the one
which induced Mr.. Bryan TO desire
Democratic headquarters at Chicago.
Illinois is looked upon, by many poll
tlclans, as the state which will be the
most bitterly fought for and whlch
will decide the election. Nearly all
western politicians, like Mr.. Stevens,
are OF this opinion. They count on a
solid south and west, land they believe
that somehow or other Illinois must
be won TO win the day. Mr.. Stevens
added:
81 shall devote all of my time to
pushing the work of the campaign,
sending out appropriate literature
and urging the formation Of silver
clubs everywhere. Our work will
chiefly be among those who have form
erly affiliated with the Republicans
and only differ on the one point Of
finance. The main basis, of our
routine work, will be the organization
OF silver clubs. This is now well un-
der way, more than 1000 having al
ready been organized, with a large
membership.
The outlook is so doubtful as to who
will carry Illinois, and causing both
sides at this stage uneasiness,at same
time the tide for silver was so strong,
that DIR. Jameson of the Central
Committee had almost given up the
fight, had the election occurred at that
period. The following from the New
York Herald contains information in
a nutshell.
MCKINLEY HAS NO wALKovER.
The plain truth about the national
campaign is that Chairman Mark
Hanna, when he returned from the
west, although he wore smiling face
and openly said everything was going
well, brought the news for the eastern
members Of the executive committee
that the outlook Is far from satlsfac-
tory. Mr.. Hanna will not for one
moment concede defeat in any of the
states that go to make up the battle
ground for honest money, but he told
every friend with whom he talked pri-
vately that the fight was hard one,
and that the ticket could only be
elected by the most tremendous exer-
tlons, continued every day from now
until Nov. 3.
1.-THE great battle ground is COM
pact. 1t includes the states Of Mich
igan, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and
Kentucky. The Republican national
committee is going in with deter
mination to win them all. The rose.
ate reports about Illinois being solid
for Mckinley by $4,000 are put out for
the benefit of the marines. Unless the
situation changes between now and
October no living man will be able to
tell with confidence in his predictions
how Illinois will vote"

in reference 10 the cOmpany's entrance

cable had recently been laid across the
Mississippi river. An eXtentiOn to
Texas from there will be via Little

From New Orleans Col. Foster could
not say how soon they would get into
Texas, owing to the eX-appropriation
cases pending in the supreme court at
New Orleans, a hearing of which has
been set for Dec. Il. The distance
covered is to Lafayette, along the
Southern Pacific, 144 miles, but the
telegraph company thought the award
made by the lower court too high,
hence an appeal was taken.
From Lafayette to the state line is
112 miles, and in this case will have its
first hearing at Lafayette Dec. IS.
The right of way from the state line to
Houston will be heard at Orange on an
appeal by the Southern Pacific Jan. IL.
Accompanying Col. Foster is George
d. Goldman, an attorney from Dallas,
who is right of way agent for the tele-
graph company, and will make Hous-
ton his headquarters for the present.
Col. Foster expects to go to Helena,
Ark, shortly for the next two months,
to attend to the business at that end of
the line. He has grip full of applica-
tiOns for positions with the new COM

| There is many property that would
pay well on all that is asked for it if

500. 600 is put on the London market
at 5000, 900. and then d superintendent
