On the silver side seems to be,

ELLIS AND NORTHUP.

Congressman Tongue and Ell

EkeaiIst the Teller resolution.
Oregon IS ;r-sound, no''e4. SAFE,
and her representatives i'll con-
gress being republicans who
staad upon the St, Louis plat
form, it was expected that they
would cast their votes against
the Teller attempt to disllonor
the government.
Those who voted for Mr.. FL
lis in 1896, knew that he would
earnestly support the national re-
publican platform. Those who
voted for Quinn, Bennett or Nor
thup knew it. And yet the
Northup party pretended to be
devoted to the cause of sound
money. The sole object of Nor
thup's candidacy was not to elect
Nortllup, but to defeat Ellis.
Had the supporters Of the Nor
thup party succeeded in their
plans, Oregon's second congress
sional district would now be rep
resented by populist instead OF
a republican, and the Teller res
olution would have gained a
vote
Eastern Oregon republicans
believe, and they are justified i'll
so believing, that the republican
opposition to Ellis was the op-
position Of spoilsmen and those
,uhom the spoils,nen confined to

paign deprived Mr.. Tongue, i'll
directly, of a great many votes
he should have received.
If the opposition to the repub-
lican party believe i'll the same
important political theories, it is
k,iht and proper that this oppos-
1t}on unite under one banner.
We want a good square fight and
the republicans will be greatly
plea-ed if they have chance to
defeat a combined enemy. But
if the opposition are united as to
beliefs, why is it necessary to
support three or four party Or

NARRUWESI BUILDING LOT IN THE WORT n

If you were to go to New York. and were to be shown about the place by a native, one of the wonders of the city pointed out to you no doubt would be the famous four-foot lot on which 6 capitalist there has built him resi- dence. You would duly marvel at the size of the city where such close quar- ters had become necessary. You would return to San Francisco and preach sermons from such and such a text. You would measure off the distance on your table. You would calculate the length of your trunk, and wonder what possible use human being could have for such a narrow strip of land. And all the while you would very likely be ignorant of the fact that in San Fran cisco there are no less than twenty res idence and business lots under four feet in width. and that the narrowest frontage in the world is on our own Mission street.

 Ah, Kate said he and l faneied could detect faint sheer in the tones of his voice, "I thought l heard you singing. Upon my soul, your voice sends the blood dancing through my veins.
