THE PRIMARIES.

Tomorrow the republican prl-
maries will be held. While the
contest of candidates for local Of
fees will not figure i'll the cleo
ton of delegates to as great all
extent as formerly, the general
ard deep interest in the iinpend-
ing struggle is certain to call out
a full vote tomorrow.
To remind men of their duties
as citizens is a delicate task, for
the monitor is apt to be regarded
as a presuming and othclous
meddler. Still one can hardly
deny that the right to participate
ia the primaries implies duty
to do so, and it is not improper
at this time to, urge upon all
good citizens whose political be,
lief will allow them to affiliate
with and support the republican
party, the Importance Of taking
Part in the primaries. 1t is I'M
necessary to argue about this i'm.
portance. No one will dispute IT.
The republican convention, i
is expected, will be composed O
men whose first thought is the
SUCCESS of the party. A large
vote tomorrow means the real1
Izat1on of this expectation.

A REPUBLICAN, PSALM.

Let there be peace. Harmony
is the fertile soil where grows
the tree, SUCCESS. Not jobbery,
not secret understandings, not
sclf-promoting, not selhshness,
will ensure party prosperity.
Broad humanity, wise patriotism,
forbe&rance, open counsels, q sin
cere desire to work for the COM
mon veal, will bring to the re.
publican ticket enthusiastic and
efficient support.
Opposed to the republican
party in Oregon is an unorgan.

teal politicians. Let us not
meet like with like, Hessians
with Hessians. Let us oppose
He&sianisln with patriots, poll
ticians with statesmen, office
seekers with office saught. Vic
tory then would be assured, and
even defeat be honorable and
without sting.

FUSIONISTS.

-rPortland politits" was victor
ious in the alliance that nonina-
ted state ticket at Portland last
week. This was demonstrated
in the selection of Will R. King
for governor over Judge Waldo.
King was the favored of Penney
er and the politicians. Waldo
was the candidate of the theor-
ists-the populists from princi-
pie.
Kincaid's success was another
proof. He was thought to be a
strong man aHd the COMMUNISTS
believed that his nomination
would draw votes for the rest OF
the ticket. They have made a
poor move. Kincaid is really
very unpopular, and deservedly
so. He is one of the worst of
'grafters, and the fusionists
will soon discover that he is a
burden to them instead of help.
The nomination of Veatch, a
democrat, for congressman in
this district, will not please the
pepulists. They desired, above
all else, that office. The con-
gresham has much more to do
with carrying out the principles
advocated by the peoples party
than the governor, and the pop
ulists have not yet full faith in
their Bourbon allies. For this
reason DR.. Hill, the middle-of-
the road candidate, will draw q
great part of the populist votes.
The fusion ticket is a weak
one, more OH account of the gen
eral dissatisfaction and lack oi
enthusiasm that is bound to fol-
low such cold-blooded and prac-
tical for-the-spoils arrangement
than because of the personal de-
merits of the democrats.

A POET CANDIDATE.

Will R. King, the fusion NOM
inee for governor, and Robt. M.
Veatch, the candidate for con-
gressman from this district, were
once agricultural college stu
dents. The fact that these two
men, who studied political econ
olnv under President Arnold, are
now running for Office on free
silver, initiative and referendum
platform, is rather shocking to
the warm admirers of the. de-
parted professor. Certainly moth
ing he taught them is response
BILE for their present erratic pollt-
ical beliefs.
Mr.. King is we'll remembered
! by those who attended the col
lege ia the early eighties. He
was a student of considerable
force and application, but then
had peculiar ideas regarding the
unlimited power Of law to create.
In the Adelphian society and the
"Vinculum club" which then
Aourished, King was prominent
as a debatcr. The Adelphian
Review, a journal simply writ
ten, and read at the society
meetings contained lnany con-
tributions from his pen. 1t is
perhaps unfair to recall can
didate's school-boy apses, but
the temptation to inform the
public that the fusion candidate
for governor once resorted to
rhyme writing, is too strong to
/ be resisted.
The professor of mathematics,
Jos. limerick, "Old Joe," as the
boys called him among them
selves. who is now Indian agent
at the Klamath reservation, once
reused the students ire by
harshly criticising one of the So
cieties for giving a minstrel show.
There was a decided nutiny
for several weeks, when the pro-
Il fessor recalled many of his state
ments. Will King was one of
the rebelling students and the
incident inspired his muse. He
manufactured a long poem, COM
mencing:
''There was n nice and quiet town,
A grand old river running by.
Beyond that town man was found
. Who sometimes told lie.''
The fact that such a discovery
seemed startling enough to Mr..
King to be commemorated in
verse, speaks volumes for his
early faith in the generel verac-
F ity Of mankind. His later polit-
ical experience has perhaps made
him more cynical.
Mr.. King is not running fol
governor upon his reputation as
poet, and this gem from the
romantic period of his life may
be out of place at this time, but
with its publication a valuable
suggestion is offered to him frolt
an old school mate.
) Mr. King always chose the
negative side of that muchly de
| bated question, "Resolved, tina

coal.
The first consignment left Phila-
delphia in 4 steamer, the latter part of

served lest the coal fall into the hands

ment followed from this city the first

left Baltimore, June 10, and the last lot
of 5000 tons cleared from this port, last

no signs of famine in Havana, though

that the distress is no greater than
