PRESIDENTIAL TICKET.
VETERAN LEAVES MK1NLEY.

The following are extracts from a
letter written by an old veteran of
Eastern Oregon to friend at Salem.
He has been a life long Republican
and patriotic citizen. He says:
EIGHT MILE, Or, Oct. II, 1896.
"We are still complaining of hard
times, however, crops are better and
prices better than they were last year.
Those of us who oppose the gold
standard firmly believe that the hard
times will continue indefinitely If the
gold standard is permanently estab-
lished in this country, hence we ale
for Bryan, first, last, and all the time.
This is campaign of falsehood,
slander and vituperation. 1t is a
campaign In which the rich are ar
rayed against the poor, the classes
against the masses, Notwithstanding
Mckinley said in his letter of accept
ance that there are no classes in this
country. Mckinley may be a very
nice man, but he has got into bad
company. He has placed himself in
the hands of the most corrupt ring
Of politicians, that ever disgraced
American soil. When l consider the
means that are being employed, and
the vast amount of money subscribed
by the monopolies, trusts and combines
to the Republican campaign fund for
the purpose of purchasing McKinley's
election, my blood boils with just in
dignation. / hope to see the day |
when men, instead of blindly follow
ing party, will lay aside party preju-
dice and vote for principle, vote for
the welfare of the people instead of
the success of party. | was trained
In early youth to oppose slavery in
any form, mo matter If was black or
white slavery, chattel or industrial
slavery, and l hope have not so far
forgot my early training as to vote
with the oppressors of the human
race. When I look around me and
see my friends lending aid by voice
and vote to this unholy cause, to this
unholy crusade against humanity, l
almost despair, 1 almost lose hope of
the ultimate triumph of the right.
The Republicans still insist that IL is
only lack of confidence that has
caused the hard times and all we have
TO do to restore prosperity is to elect
Mckinley. am one of those who
believe that confidence must have
something more substantial than a
mere shadow to rest upon"

Senator Tlllman had an immense
crowd at McMinnyllle Monday, where
he spoke over the noon hour Farm
ers came to hear him from points as
far as Independence, Salem, Nestucca
and Others less distant. Loads came in
armed with pitchforks and all manner
OF emblems, such as showed their ap
probation of the senator's position.
A Mckinley man in the crowd asked
some questions, which were satisfac-
tOrily answered, until he sprung one
OF an impertlnent nature. At this the
Senator invited his questioner to the
platform, but he declined, saying ''you
will try to prove me liar"
'No, ''said the Senator, "but might
prove you fool"
The meeting closed with three
cheers and amid the best OF feeling.

LEaDVILLE. Col, June 22.-Unless a

between the mine owners and the
Miners union work is likely to be sus-
pended at nearly all of the silver mines
in the camp. The hex company,
owners of the Little Johnny mine,
shut down all of their properties to-
day All the miners were also laid off
indefinitely at the Alps. Garbutt. Yak
and other mines where the mems
wages were s. per day.
Although the trouble originated in
a demand of the union for 81 FER day
in silver mines, the owners of which
claim they cannot pay such wages at
the present price of silver, the owners
claim that the real issue is whether
the Miners union shall be permittt d
to dictate the employment of only
union men, and they will fight this to
the end.
The streets are crowded with miners,
but they are well behaved.

OMAHA. June a0-The business men
of Omaha met last night to discuss
the trans Mississippi exposition pro-

Mississippi Exposition associa-
ton gave brief but thorough account
of the nature of the exposition and
the benefit it would be to Omaha and
Nebraska and said: ITO make the
exposition such a success as it must
be. the city should appropriated large
sum. the state should do the same and
the people of Omaha should contrib
ute at least I. million dollars to the
enterprise. l believe we can rely on

ator Allen told me the other day that
if we can raise million dollars he
did not doubt but that $500. 600 more
could be obtained from the next
Congress. and that he would introduce

quakerlike appearance. The River
Brethren are Pennsylvaniansi in thought
and inclination, and their Pennsyl-
vania thrift has made their homes on
the prairie models of neatness, comfort
and prosperity. They have succeeded
where others have failed and are prob
ably the most prosperous of Central
Kansas residents.
Originally they are Germans. two
brothers having led them from the
fatherland early in the century to find
a land where greater freedom in re-
ligious matters might be secured.
They were Brethren in Christ, prop
erly speaking, but because they lived
by the Susquehanna were dubbed
River Brethren" and even yet, al
though their homes are on the high
prairies, the name clings to them. The
Kansas branch has it's headquarters in

a paper of pins. The agents breath

difficulty that he could get the tickets

After that the railroads were resdy
for them, and travelling passenger
agents began to work for their gOod
graces. Free transportation for the
ladies, chair cars (the height of the
brethren's dream of luxury and quick
time were promised lavishly, but the
shrewd churchmen soon learned that
the scramble meant profit to them and
would start out in carload lots for the
east, buying tickets only to Kansas

there because of greater rivalry.

creditor and made the bishop free of
all claims. Nor do they expect any
reward or repayment. 1t is a part of
their religion to do this for one an
other.
The aim of the church is to keep
the members humble. One who fails
to allow his hair to grow long upon
his shoulders or a woman guilty of a
bit Of ribbon is in danger of excom-
munication. The women's dresses are
gray or black without fiounce or bit
of trimming, and watch and chain are
an abomination. One of their leading

They build Old-fashioned Pennsylva-
MIA red barns and stuff them full of
oats and hay for the sleek horses and
the well-bred cows. They give much
attention to cattle, hens and hogs.
They have been the most successful
creamery managers in the state. One
company of River Brethren in this
county pays out $4,000 a month to
farmers for milk and makes a brand
of butter that is sold and known from
Chicago to the City of Mexico. They
have nearly 700 patrons for the cream
cry, and it Is a curious sight in the
summer mornings to see the long lines
of farm wagons driven by the wife or
big sister of each household, coming
up to the creamery station to unload
the precious burden. When crops have
failed this milk money has been the
salvation of many family.

hearts.
