WILL STAY WITH TIE TICKET.

Chairman Stephenson OF Michigan Sup
ports the Chicago Nominee.
DETROIT, July 29.-The democratic
state central committee this evening
declined to accept the resignation of
Chairman Stephenson, and called the
state nominating convention to be
held in Bay City, August l5. Although
Chairman Stephenson, who is q law
partner of Don NJ. Dickinson, had
been radical advocate of the gold
policy and still emphatically depre-
Gated what he terms the outrage of un-
seating some of the Michigan gold
standard delegates at the Chicago con.
vention, he accepts the platform and
candidates decreed by the national
convention aud declares that being
democrat, he will do his whole duty in
waging vigorous campaign in Miehi-
gan for the success of the party nomi-
nees and its declared policies.
It is now arranged that.the populists
and the new union silver party con-
ventions will be held at Bay City on
the same day as the democratic con-
vention and it is expected thata fusion
of the three parties on one ticket will
be accomplished. This is considered
a necessity by the silver men, as the
state law enacted by the last (republi-
can) legislature, requires that no candi-
date can appear on more than any one

SHOULD BE ABOLISHED.

II Tor no other reason than that OF
economy, the June election should be
abolished. and the next legislature
should pass resolution for an amend
ment to the constitution, to be SUBJ
mitted to the voters at the next
general election, changing the time
for holding the county and state elec-
tions from the first Monday in June to
the first Tuesday after the first Monday
in Novem ber, the date of the presi-
Dental election. Such change would
save to the taxpayers of the state some
S25, 600 every Two years, as that il
about the estimated cost of holding
general election in Oregon.
The last general election cost Wasco
county s7733, IS follows: judges and
clerks of election, S47l; deputy sheriffs
putting up and taking down booths, s95;
messengers conveying election returns
from precincts to county seat, S96;
election tickets, 81. Waeco is per-
haps an average of the 80 counties in
the state as to the number of voters
and election precincts, hence taking
the cost of conducting the election
here as an average it would amount ia
all the counties to S23. 3.456. Very
nearly the same expense will be nee.
essary again at the November elec.
lion, therefore Oregon will pay out
nearly $50, 600 this year for elections.
or S25, 900 more than would be required
had the trainers of our constitution
fixed the date for the general election
on the same day as the presidential
election is held. This unnecessary ex-
pense of government falls upon the in
dustry and thrift of the country, with
especially relentless force during times
of depression, and even in times of
prosperity is an item of considerable
amount that had as well be saved to
the taxpayers.
Aside from theq question of economy.
it is to the best interest of the country
that elections be held in all the
states on the same day. Then
every state would conduct its
campaign independently OF strikers,
bosses and foreign campaign orators.
Besides it would to a great extent
prevent the colonization of non-resi.
dent voters in localities where the
election is close, and the people of
each state would be allowed to express
their preference for local officers with.
out the interference of a floating ele-
ment that may be moved across state
lines at the convenience Of political
parties.

that this Is an exaggerdtion, but the

At the second signal tower, the

the signal to stop, but the brakes
either failed to work or the speed OF
the express was too great to be check

cause his running mate Sewell is a

up hue and cry that he could not be
endorsed; and knowing Bryan would
refuse to desert the man with whom he
was nominated. they defeated all
efforts to combine the silver vote by
resorting to foolish prejudice, and
nominating Watson for vice-president.
The populists had it in their hands
to bring the money question squarely
before the people at the coming elec.
tion, but they frittered the opportunity
away. How binding the rank and file
of that party will consider the acts of
the national convention remains to be
seen, but it is not likely the more con.
servative ones will follow the lead of
the bosses, for they can see nothing
but defeat in it, hence We believe the
greater portion of the populist vote
will go to the democratic nominees,
regardless of the convention.

DEMAGoGY PREVAILED.


The middle-of-the readers in the ST.
Louis convention, by resorting to what
they term sharp practice, have done
what they could to defeat the issue
which they hold to be of the greatest
importance, and have convinced the
more conservative element in their
party, those who are sincere in their
demands for free silver, that they are a
set of demago rues.
Their only hope of success lay In
centering the silver vote OF the country
upon one candidate for president. This
was in their power. provided they
would lay aside their prejudice and en-
dorse the national democratic ticket.
A considerable majority OF the dele
gates were favorable TO Brysn, but be-.

tial cam paign. They.take the position
that the plank in the democratic plat.
form favoring the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 10 to /, without
awaiting similar action by any other
government, is most dangerous one.
They set forth that II the United States
should alone attempt fres coinage of
silver al that ratio, gold would be
boarded to await premium or shipped
to foreign countries, and silver alone
remain as circulating medium. They
also fear that capital would be- driven
away, credit paralyzed and enterprise
crippled:
The pamphlet concludes:

ment for maintaining the present gold

those paid ia the gold-standard coun.
tries, England, Germany and Italy. or
the wages paid in America prior to

ing to these republican authorities,
the ordinary farm laborer receives 80
cents day, the bricklayer Is cents,
the carpenter 90 cents, the blacksmith
Is cents, the stonecutrer IS to 80 cents.
This low rate of wages has been at
tributed't to England being free-trade
country, but such argument hardly
holds good, when right across the
channel in Germany, where the high.
est kind Of protection prevails, the
wages are even lower. Therefore pro-
tective tariffs or free trade can have
little effect upon fixing wages.
In more recent argument, which is
intended to convince the American
laborer, that in oroer to keep up his
present thigh'standard of wages he must
maintain a gold standard: the same
high republican authority invites/his
attention to the wage scales Of Mexico,
which is silver.ssandard country.
There we are toldfthat the ordinary
farm laborer is paid from 50to75 cents
a day, the blacksmith sl.75 the. CIR.
penter and stonecutter the same. This
of course Is IN Mexican silver, worth
only half as much as the British coin,
but the result!of the days work, will
buy the laborer just as much of the
necessaries of life in Mexico as it will
in England. In connection with this
comparison, however, it must be taken
into consideration that the ordinary
Mexican laborer is by no means the
equal of the Englishman, being indo.
lent, unskiliea and ignorant, and if
placed side by side with an English
working man would not do one.half
the work performed by the latter.
Then for the same amount of work
done the Englishnan receives only one
half what the despised free.silver Mex
lean does.
The money of England has been
based on gold for almost a century,
while in Mexico silver has been the
basic MONEY since the government was
formed. England is pointed to as the
most enlightened nation on earth,
Mexico the very opposite. English
laborers are said to be more Industrious
than any. others except Americans,
while-the lazy Mexican is proverbiaf. Z
With this comparison made by the re-
publican press, and in. the face of this
sort of educational campaign, can the
American laoorer see ruch. In the
