FUSION FOR SPOILS.

The action of the populists in
declaring against fusion, is encour-
aging to patriotic citizens. The So
called union party organized at
Albany recently, is but an at
temptby old party politicians, to
secure offices for themselves and
ther friends. 1t is an effort to en-
list voters of conflicting beliefs
under one banner to engage in a
piratical political enterprise. This
involves the sacrifice of principle,
and the populists honor themselves
in breaking lose from the combin-
ton. But this alliance is no
more dishonorable than the one
that Simon and his minions are
urging. The proposition that the
republicans and national demo
Gratis combine to secure con-
troll of the state offices, insults
both parties. The conditions that
obliterated party lines and issues
last fall. no longer exist. There is
no reason for such union. no pur-
pose in it, except the desire for
spoils. No self respecting repub-
lican or democrat will sanction the
movement.
The men who are ever ready to
sacrifice or trim their principles,
are not safe counselors. The
country is suffering from too much
politics of the practical variety,
and it is not the part of patriot
ism to further the cause of these
fusionists for spoils.
Simon's object in agitating a
fusion with Cleveland democrats
is apparent. The men who at
present control the national demo.
cratic organization in Oregon, are
Simon democrats. G. E. S. Woods
is Corbett's lawyer. Zera Snow is
a partner of Wallace McCamant
Simon's only hope Of securing con
troll of the republican party is
through the strength these men
can lend him in a fusion deal
Through Bourne, Far From Simple
Simon has effectively managed
the populists. but the old line
democrats are made of stsrnel
stuff.
