FOR PRINCIPLE OK PLUMBER !

Lord and Kincaid are both men Of
character. They have minds of their
iwn aud have shown it. They could
at be dragooned into service of
either The DOlph or Mitchell push.
They stood out against the federal Of
flee holding and oflice-seeking M
bines. They have stood up for busi-
ness methods and economy in admin
istration. When railroad commission
ers, lane, ,grabbers or any other odious
form OF leech or robber presented
itself 1t got no special consideration
Not all Of the Mcbride relatives were
kept in public employ-one or two
were dropped. Such acts and such a
record makes men like Lord aud
Kincaid obnoxious to the real push
and pull that is now seeking
TO be constituted brains, Drawn,
bosom and belly of the Republican
party. While Mcbride was hoodoo-
ing the silver men into voting for
him as free silver senator, Lord was
refusing the senatorship on any such
terms. That is enough to damn him
in the eyes of the speculative Repub-
lican gentry, who are for silver in the
spring, for gold in the fall and for
plunder all the time. While Mcbride
imposed a lot of his personal follow.
ers upon Kincaid, who would much
rather have appointed hlsown friends,
the rugged honesty OF the grand old
man from Lane has made him often

pickers. Mcbride has managed
TO keep most Of his friends
employed at the asylum
through Metschan and when the
word was passed that rlr. Kincaid
denomination he was given
the same chilling handgrasp of the
Icy init that the state prison crowd
under McBrlde's man Brophy has ex-
tended TO Lord, 1t is felt by the
thrifty generation, of which Mcbride, |
Metschan and Moore represent the
highest tlower.of evolution, that Lord |
and Kincaid are not safe men. If Il
Iob or a sinecure OF rich and juicy d l.
nensions were in real peril, and it re-
luired hard Scrapping to save il from |
destruction, Lord and Kincaid coul d |
lot be relied upon. The railroad com.
mission with its ten thousand |

would give IL, Lord refused to allow
I TO tile otiicial bonds and Kincaid
efuSed TO allow them TO even file their
'laims. They meet regularly once a
month, make out their claims, grow
ed in the face, swear TO their bill and

tate and 20 Off about their legitimate
business.
There is Moore, OF the supreme

leart. He was perfectly willing to
wear in the Mitchell house, or any
Iouse He would rather cut Off his right
land than cut of one dollar of the per-
