A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with very severe cold that caused him
to be in most miserable condition. It
was undoubtedly bad case of la grippe
and recognizing it as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about speedy
cure. From the advertisement of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and the many
good recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make a first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was satisfac.
tory IN its results, is putting it very
mildly, indeed. It acted ike magic and
the result was speedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in recon-
mending this excellent Cough Remedy

been appointed United States dis
trict attorney for Oregon. He was
recommended for the position by the
Oregon delegation, and, the Orego-
nian says, by Mr.. Mitchell. The Or
egonian comments upon the appoint
ment In style so different from its
usual handling of such subjects as to
provoke, or at least suggest, comment
thereon. 1t seems to realize that the
Mitchell Republicans are in the as
cendant in this state, and while dep
recating that fact, lays the founda-
tion of its editorial comment upon
the basis of monetary principles, in
stead of Mr.. Mitchell's connection
with Oregon's politics. 1t goes back
to the monetary standard, and bases
It's objections to the federal appoint
ees, not on the ground that they were
recomne nded by Mr.. Mitchell, but
ON the broader ground that they are
not sound upon the money question,
and incidentally attacks ex-senator
Mitchell, Mr.. Hermann and Con-
gresham Ellis because they have
heretofore been friends of silver.
The Oregonian never has, and
probably never will, admit that
while the Oregon delegation were adj
vocating the free coinage of silver,
they we're obeying the commands of
the party IN the state as given them
in the state platforms. 1t has never
admitted, and will probably never
admit that the Oregon state plat
forms since 1890 have been free
silver platforms, and that the delega-
ton were in duty bound to obey
the commands of the party or to re-
sign. 1t has lodged this matter in
a masterly manner in order to be in
a position to attack ex-senator
Mitchell. 1t has pretended at all
times since and during the last cam
paign that ex-senator Mitchell's re-
peated public declarations that he
stood firmly by the national plat
form of the party as promulgated by
the st. Louis convention, were not
sufficient; that Mitchell, having been
a free silver advocate, could not
possibly be an advocate of the prin-
cipals laid down in the national plat
form. 1t has persistently asserted
that the St. Louis platform was q
gold standard platform, when the
most violent construction of the Ian
guage could not possibly be tortured
into any such meaning.
1t has declared itself dissatisfied
with Mr.. Mitche!rs position, has
made platform of its own, upon
which it demands he shall stand, and
condemns him and all his friends for
preferring to follow the st. Louis
platform rather than the Oregonian
platform. 1t pinned its faith to Cor
bett, and is sore at the result.
The Oregon legislature was held
up largely through the influence OF
the Oregonian for the purpose OF
downing Mitchell, and Corbett was
simply the shovel used for the pur-
pose of drawing the chestnuts from
the fire.
President Mckinley has taken the
only course open to him He ina;
needed the suggestions of the dele
CATION as it is, not as it may here
after be, and has wisely appointed
the men who fought the battles oi
the party; who stood by the st
Louis platform, and who dared tc
run counter to the Corbett-O -Orego-
nian Republicans, who built a plat
form of their own, and ignored thai
of the party.
