A secret meeting was held last night al
the palace between the commanding Of
flcers of the American army and the
Cuban leaders. 1t can be said with good
authority that General Garcia was pres

effect that the Cuban situation was
thoroughly reviewed and that 1t was
resolved to disband the Cuban army
and that the United States should pay
the men off. This involves the expendi-

THE PRINCIPLES.
N~~N~

1t is nothing more than proper that
every endeavor should be made to ac-
quaint the voters of Wasco county and
the counties composing this legislative
and judicial district with the principles
and men which are represented by the
various political tickets now asking the
sufferages of the people. The privilege
of casting ballot is little less than
sacred, and no act of citizenship is ac-
companied with weightier responsibility
nor is fraught with more far-reaching
results. 1t is probably just criticism
of the American people that they are
accustomed to look upon the duty of
voting with less seriousness than is de-
manded by the privileges and honors
conferred by American citizenship and
in the hope that such criticisms may
not be justified in the present campaign,
the Republicans of Wasco county,
through the Woman's Edition, call at
The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1898-05-17

Mr., Whipple has conducted the duties.
OF his office with far greater satisfaction
than had been previously done, and his
work is his best endorsement for reelec-
ton. Mr.. Evans is prominent farmer
at Hood River who has been careful and
prudent in his own affairs and this is a
guarantee that he would be so in the
management of the county's business.
j. B. Golt and w. H. Butts, the NOM
lnees for surveyor and coroner respect
lively, are well known throughout Wasco
county, and the Woman's Edition pre-
diets their election. Not word can be
said against their conduct in office and
the same good report may be expected
OF them in the future as in the past.
The Office of justice of the peace is an
exceedingly important one. In his
hands rests vast amount of discretion
and unless it be wisely exercised the
interests of the county will suffer. The.
Republican ticket is fortunate in having
upon it for this position Mr.. C. f. Bay
ard, who is in every way qualified for
this duty. Mr.. Bayard is taxpayer,
fair minded, able man, and as Justice of
the peace would serve the people well.
Mr.. w. G. Clark, the nominee for con-
stable, is known as sober, industrious
young man, well qualified for the office
to which he has been nominated.
These are the men whom the Republi-
can party asks you to support. Can
you do better by not voting for them?
Think carefully over. this question be-
fore you scratch Republican nominee.
They are worthy your support and two
years from now you will rejoice that you
chose them for your ballots.

THE PLATFORM. .

We. the Republican voters of the state
of Oregon, In convention assembled, con-
gratulate the people of the state as well
as of the whole nation on the unmistaka-
BILE fact that the dark cloud of adversely,
which has hung like pail over our fair
land, has been dissipated. We recognize
that the return of prosperity is due to
the restoration of the Republican party
to power.
The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1898-05-17
A CONCLUDING WORD.

The duty of the voters next June is
plain. The momentous struggle i'm
which our country is involved makes it
necessary that politics be lain aside,
and, as American citizens we rally to the
support of the administration. Upon
President Mckinley rests the response
bility of guarding the nations interests
in this trying crisis. He is not the
president of the Republicans any more
than he is of the Democrats. He be-
longs to the American people collectively,
and it is their duty to see that they are
not lead away from support of the gov
ernment by any narrow considerations
of politics.
Oregon is the first state to hold gen.
eral election since the war with Spain
has opened. The nation has it's eyes
upon us, and the decision of the voters
in this state will be either comfort or
source of regret to the administration.
Let it be said that the people who dwell
in the fertile valleys, and on the broad
lying plains and among the timbered
hills of Oregon are patriotic to the
hearts core, and take this opportunity
of testifying to their confidence and ap-
proval of the efforts of the administra-
tion to maintain American honor and
remove from the fair page of Western
history the blot which Spain has put
upon Cuba.
How best can this be done? The ans
wer is easy. Let us elect the Republi-
can candidates for congress who will be
ever ready to aid the administration i'm
carrying out its plans; let us elect the
republican nominee for governor and his
associates upon the state ticket, which
will say to the nation that Oregon did
not fail in the duty of the hour And
when we have made such good begin
ming let us continue the work and elect
the republican ticket throughout from
judge to coroner. There is not man
among them who is not worthy your
support. The ticket is clean, represent
ative and capable. The candidates are
all worthy men, free from prejudices
and if elected will serve the whole peo-
pie and not any particular few The re-
publicans of Wasco County appeal to
the voters to carefully consider before
voting against the party which has no
other aim in view than providing best
for the interests of the nation.
Read the ticket over carefully; think
over each name and then decide if there
is any reason why the Republican NOM
inees should not be supported The
party can be depended up
On, in the future, as in the past, to
enact legislation which will be the
wisest for the welfare of us all. In the
words of Lincoln, the Republican party
s government of the people, for the
people and by the people.
The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1898-05-17

We are in favor of the maintenance of
the present gold standard we are un-
qualifiedly opposed to the free coinage
of silver and to all other schemes look
ing to the debasement of the currency
and the reputation of debt We believe
that the best money in the world is
none too good to be assured by the gov
ernment to the labOrer as the fruit of
his toll and to the farmer as the price of
his crop. We condemn the continued
agitation for free silver as calculated to
jeopardize the prosperity of the country
and to shake the confidence of the peo-
pie in the maintenance of wise fnan-
cial policy; we particularly condemn as
unpatriotic, the efforts of the free silver
agitators to array class against class and
section against section we declare that
the interests of all classes and of all sec
tions of our country alike demand
sound stable financial system.
While we deplore the imminence of
war, we recognize that the country is on
the eve of war, undertaken for the vim
dication of the national honor and the
performance of work dictated by every
instinct of humanity, we declare that
the administration is entitled in this
conflict to the confidence and support of
the entire people.
We are firmly attached to the princi-
Piles of the federal constitution; we
recognize that representative govern
ment is one of these principles, and we
are opposed to any change in law or con-
stitution which will abrogate this time
honored principle.
We are in favor of retrenchment and
reform in state and county matters.
We demand strict economy in public
affairs, and the abolition of all needless
Offices and commissions.
The salmon fishing industry, so fruit
full a source of revenue to the state.
should be fostered, and to that end we
favor state aid in the artificial propaga-
tion of salmon, and their distribution in
the waters of this state.
We reaffirm our allegience to the prin-
ciples of the Republican party of the
United states, as enunciated by the Re-
publican convention in St. Louis in 1896.
We denounce the fusion party of Ore
gon as an aggregation of spoilsmen, who
are ready to subordinate principles to
offices. Each of the parties to this COM
pact is willing to stultify itself and form
alliances with elements which it has
heretofore denounced as dangerous and
unfit to be intrusted with power; we de-
clare that good government cannot come
from such an alliance
