oregon Election.
JAY

The election in Oregon on June 6
was the first opportunity which the
voters of doubtful state have had
to pass on the financial policy of the
administration since it has been fully
developed. The issue was joined
there on the financial question alone,
all side issues being tabooed by both
parties The republicans only had
two planks in their platform, one en-
dorsing the administration and the
other endorsing the present financial
system. The silverites had effected
a complete and harmonious fusion of
all the silver parties and were con
tident of victory.
The result proved the most sweep
ing victory for the republicans that
any party has ever gained in Oregon.
The republican candidate for Cover
nor is elected by over ten thousand
majority. Both districts send re
publican congressman by heavy ma
jorities, and the Legislature stands
80 to 81 in favor of republicans on
joint ballot, thus insuring the cleo
ton of republican senator.
The events of the past two years
have exploded all the fine-spun the
ories of the free-silverites and made
them ridiculous, and the movement,
with all its wild vagaries, will here
after be confined to the silver pro
ducing sections.

Gloster Oct. 16.-Congressman w F.

died at O'Clock this afternoon For
several days it had been known that re-
covery was impossible, and yesterday it
became apparent that the end was but a
few hours away. When taken sick, his

born March 20, 1852, in Amite county,
Miss, near Liberty; was educated in the
common schools of the county and at
the University of MssssppI; was
brought up on the farm and was engaged
in agriculture. When twenty-one years
of age he was elected to represent Amite
county in the Legislature, which position
he held for ten years, and was then
elected State Senator for eight years.
He was delegate to the Constitutional
Convention in 1890; was chairman of the
finance committee of the Senate when
elected to the Fifty-ffth Congress as a
Democrat, receiving 6739 votes, against
1858 votes for N. c. HathorD, Populist,
and 1855 for Henry c, Griffin, Republi-
can. At the recent congressional prim a.
ries he was renomnated by the Demo-
Gratis.
Congressman Love represented the
Sixth District, embracing the counties of
Adams, Amite, Covington, Greene, Han
cock. Harrison Jackson, Jones, Law
renee, Marion, Perry, Pike and Wilkin-
son.

The Senatorship in the Second Dis
trict.


Editor Herald Under the above cap
ton appeared an article in the Greene
County Herald OF Oct. 18th, that should
claim more than the passing interest of
every voter in Greene county. As one of
the voting and tax-paying citizens of this
county l endorse the stand the Herald
has taken in this matter and l advocate
an immediate action in regard to it.
Should we put out candidate our sister
counties in this district will, am salts
fed, through common courtesy, endorse
our candidate without opposition. Greene
county has never had representative in
the Senate and she is entitled to her
representation Let the citizen express
their opinion through the columns of the
Herald. Let us see where we stand.
Much success to your paper; will let
you hear from me again in the near
future.
