Monday afternoon Hon. John Mi e.
CELL and Fred w. Wilson addressed cl
tae citizens of Endersby, and their au- q
dence consisted of 25 of the union h
party and five republicans. A cores 50
pondent writing an account of the fir
meeting says the republicans of that
esetien are not in politics this year, .
but are "saying nothing and saving y.
wood" "
The Times -Mountaipeer desires to d
deal fairly with all political parties, !"
nevertheless it fearlessly exposes the ~
fallacies OF its opponents, it therefore "
desires that they should have every "
opportunity to expose their own weak -
ness, hence it very much regrets hav-
ing misstated the date of Mr.. Schoon- in
makers meeting, for it we'll knew e
what the line of his pretended argu- W
ment would be.
Today prominent republican was "
met ON the streets by Times Noun of
taineer representative aud asked how w
he liked Mr.. Schoomaker's speech
His reply was: 81 am glad it is not to n
io' ~ ou' o""'o sh
would be lost, We can not hope to :.
win votes by abusing our enemies. =,
We must win them by argument, and a;
If we have no convincing argument, a.
our cause must fall. Schoonmdker is -
entirely too abusive to convince the ~
populace Of their error" al
Yesterday the Times -Mountaineer
Inadvertently got Mr.. Schoomaker's 81
dates at Dufur and The Dalles mixed, in
and possibly might have kept some OF
away from his meeting. If so it is CT
sincerely sorry, for it would haye been fr
pleased if every voter in Wasco county a
could have heard Mr.. Schoomaker, for SC
his abusive style and gross misrepre-
sentations is convincing evidence of ell
the weakness of the gold standard az
cause, and has the tendency to drive II
votes away from the gold standard :,
nominees. g
The amount of salmon packed on u
the river up to the presens time is U
reported to be almost up to that OF q,
last season. says the Astorian. Not !.
withstanding reports to the contrary,
many Of the fishermen have made aver
age catches aud their deliveries at the .
canueries are fully up to those at the =
same time last season. Salmon have ~
run steadily since the beginning of the d
season, winch is considered rather un- -
usual, as past seasons show that the y
ruin increases or lessons, as the case
may be. before the lst of June. The Il
weight of the fish is above the avar- =
age, I'd POUNDS, but the past day or two
they are reported to be increasing in
size as we'll as in number.
Last evening James Blakeney start
