Fighting at the Polls at Portland,
Oregon.
EXCITING ELECTION In THAT STATE
Party Lines ObIiterated in Many
Counties.
LEGISLATURE TO BE CHOSEN

PORTLAND. Greg, June 1.-The Oregon
state election. which is being held today,
will have significance and interest as being
the first gun" Of the presidential cam
paign. 1t will, however, be impossible for
politicians in other states to get much
satisfaction from the result, because of
the demoraliZed condition of the three
parties. Ever since the fighting and shoot
ing at the April primaries in this city this
campaign has been intensely exciting, and
never before was there election which
caused mere anxiety than the one which
will take place today.
In nearly every county and city there
are three tickets in the field-republican,
democratic and populist-and in some cases
there are Independent tickets and two re-
publican tickets
Fighting Mt the Polls.
The weather throughout the state is
fine, and an unusually heavy vote has been
polled. The greatest interest is centered in
the election of the Congressman in the
second district. where H. H. Northup Gre.
publcan) is running as an Independent
candidate on a gold standard platform.
The regular republican, democrat and pop
ulist nominees are all well known ad-
herentS OF the free coinage of silver.
In this city very bitter feeling has been
engendered by split IN the republican
party, d"d soon after the opening of the
polls several fights occurred. Several score
of special police and deputy sheriffs have
been sworn in, the police being arrayed on
the side of the Mitchell republican ticket.
while the deputy sheriffs are working in
the interest of the regular republican ticket.
To Elect IL United States Senator.
One Justice of the supreme court Is the
only state officer to be elected. Two Con-
gressmen and members of the legislator
which will choose a successor to Senator
Mitchell in the United States Senate will
also be elected.
In many counties party lines are OBJ
liberated. and this is especially the case in
this (Multonah) county. There are two re-
publican tickets in the field, democratic
and populiSt ticket, and a number of in
dependent candidates. 1t Is conceded that
r. S. Bean, republican candidate for SUI
preme judge, will be elected by a majority
probably in excess of 10000.
The Legislature will probably be republic
can by good majority, as the republicans
have ten hold-oyer senators out of thirty.
In the last house the democrats were not
represented, while the populists had only
six out of sixty, the remaining fifty-four
being republicans.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

Perhaps you have noticed
that the advertisers in The Star
are the successful business
houses of Washington. This is
not a coincidence, but a plain
case of cause and effect.
The Stars advertising col
umns are filled to OVERLOOKING
because advertisements in The
Star bring profitable results
and results are what advertisers
want. Washington advertisers
are much too shrewd to be
fooled by ridiculous circulation
claims, nor are they to be black
mailed into throwing their

3 SILVER and The VALUE OF FARM LANDS. 8
IS ~ a

Thepopocrats appear to have a mania
for attrihuting all ills in our body poll
tic. both real and imaginary, to the lack
of free and unlimited coinage Of silver.
Among their numerous claims one of
the boldest, perhaps, is that farm lands
have deprecated in value along with
the depreciation of silver bullion. AS
matter Of act the decennial appraise-
ments or valuations of farm land and
town and city real estate in the state
OF Ohio show that instead of the value
going down there has been decided
rise, proving that the assertions OF free
silver advocates are utterly false on
this point as in other directions Even
If land values had deprecated since
1873 it would not prove that the act OF
that year caused it, but when they
have actually risen in value it COM
pletely refutes the free silver as
sertion that because of the lack Of free
and unlimited coinage of silver land
has deprecated in value.
The records of the state prove that
the farm lands of Ohio are more Valt-
able now than when silver was de-
monetized in 1878. The reports of the
auditor of state speak for themselves
and are proof positive. The valuation
of land for taxation is made in Ohio
every ten years, and it is only neces-
sary to compare the valuation in 1870
with that of 1890 to show that land
Is higher today than when we had free
silver. In 1870 valuations were made
In an inflated currency. In other
words, gold was at a premium of 15.2
Per cent. In 1890 all currency was at
parity and the valuation was on a
gold basis. In 1870 the valuation Of
farm lands in Ohio, exclusive of the
real estate in the towns and cities,
was S503, 1851 ,297. This was in the in
fated war currency, gold being at a
premium of 1872 per cent, SO that the
real valuation Of farm lands of Ohio in
gold was S436 1886, $3.50. In 1890 the
valuation of land, exclusive of the real
estate in towns and cities, was $725,-
642,254, an increase over that of 1870
of s2SS, 705,365, or more than 66 per
cent. In the same period silver bullion
has fallen in value fully 80 per cent
These figures are for the entire state Of
Ohio. But to impress the fact more
forcibly below is given the valuation Of
land in several OF the representative
counties of central Ohio, the figures in
