party to suit the cohorts of Bryanism,
but he failed to answer any of the ale
cations made by the Republicans, who
are everywhere making a fight of ag-
gression. His principal argument was
that lack of currency produced con-
traction and falling prices. He aban
doned the position from which Repub-
1lcan argument has driven him, that
silver was not demonetized in 1873, and
takes new stand upon a rampant in
the rear of his former position, and now
shouts that if silver was not demone-
tized, then something worse happened
to it. He also had the effrontery to
compare Bryan to Lincoln, and actually
argued that because Lincoln was be-
Titled by the opposition in the contest
of 1850, and because Bryan is now be-
Titled, the two men are equally great
and equally glorious. The impecunious
Popocrats are truly in hard straits for
argument. They have produced moth
ing yet but misststements, and most of
these have been branded.

Petty Business.

The Hon. F. x. Schoomaker of New
Jersey, who speaks in The Dalles on the
Goth, is looked upon as the ablest expo
nent of the financial question who is
likely to appear on the Pacific coast
He has gone deeply into the matter and
is a specialist upon that question. The
Republicans, who have carried on per-
fectly fair campaign up to date, are
deeply grieved that the other side has
seen fit to attempt to draw the people
away from him by putting up on the
same night one of their most sensation
al speakers, Pitchfork Tillman of South
Carolina, who for curiosity alone, to see
and hear genuine anarchist, many would
naturally go to see. The effort ought to
prove a boomerang. We believe that
the fair-minded and thinking public
will see this scheme in its true light,
and choose to hear wisdom instead of
the fiery words of anarchy. The Re-
publicans would have been glad to listen
to Hon. G. w. Fulton last evening, and
might have done go had they not pos
eessed that regard for the rights of the
other side, as Mr.. Butler was billed IN
advance.

E. Kiblinger was arrested in Pendle-
ton Tuesday for beating mis- 6-year-old
boy. It is alleged he took piece of
scantling four feet long and beat the
little boy until his body was mass of
bruises. Neighbors assert that he neg
lects his children, and they say they
will take steps now to have them re-
moved from his home and given into
better care.
DR.. Logan found the individual whom
he was called by special to attend at
Grants to be party without means try
ing to go to Portland. He was sitting
on the edge of the low platform at Grants
and fell asleep. The locomotive came
along; the engineer not believing the
man was asleep, from his position, and
he was struck in the head by the pilot.
The wound, however, did not prove to
be serious.
A surprise was given the audience last
evening at the stereopticon exhibition
by showing a mammoth Gran berry patch
in which there were number OF pickers
gathering the fruit. Many thought it
represented a strawberry patch, and
there was but one person who, upon in
vitation of the lecturer, guessed what it
was. It lie a fact very little is known.
even in Oregon, that the most phe-
nomenal yields of cranberries abound
near Long Beach, and it is also true that
a comparatively few persons have made
hundreds of dollars by gathering and
selling this fruit.
