THE PEOPLES CHANCE.

Oregon politics have been corrupt
for years. and the II anagement of state
affairs have been such tha. the rights
of taxpayers have been in every in err
est made secondary to the interest OF
an army of off .e holders aud taxeaters.
AS result taxes have grown more
and more burdensome. until the prop.
erty owner has begun 20 debate in his
mind whether it were better to migrate
or wait for time when economical
and honest administration to bring
about a state OF aff iirs that taxoaying
would not be % nearly conf .catiOn.
So long as the state government was
controlled by a mercinary gang it
seemed there was little encouragement
that there ,uld be relief from
burdensome taxation. but now there
seems to be raw OF hope for the future.
A move has been started to take state
government out of the hands of tax
eaters and place it with true men, and
it seems now that the people Instead
of the politicians were to be given a
show.
The triple convention In Portland
last week promulgated principles ::
nominated ticket that insures to Il
paop.e better and more economical
government. Such principles as were
enunciated in the platform are the
ones on which good government is
based. The men nominated for office
are such as will execute the laws
Hence tho people have
chance to throw off the yoke of official
ism, and relegate the professional
politicians to private life.

II is now inevitable that Spain

RESORTING TO LIES.

II there ever was a time when the
Oregonian would not resort to false
hood when it had no foundation on
which to base its arguments, it was in
deed fn the infancy of that party
organ, and not since the present editor
took control. Truth occasionally
creeps into its editorials but when it
does it ls unintentional, or at least at
a time when a political campaign is
not on; but during a political cam
paign truth is carefully excluded from
the editorial columns of the Oregonian.
1t deals in fa'sehoods when truth
would better serve its purpose Here
is one OF its most f tgrant falsehoods:
"On Friday last.after the adaotion of
the populist platform by the democratic
and silver-republican conventions
without dissenting vote, resolution
indOrsing W. ]. Rryan rs the leader
of the silver movement in the United
States was offered to the populi-t and
democratic conventions and rejected
by both by an overr helming vote"
When the O,egonian editor penned
the above, he knew it contained not
single word of truth, not even a sem
blance OF fact. The Ores oman was
represented at both conventions by an
able corps of reporters who recorded
every resolution introduced and every
vote taken. and in their manuscript |
not one word will be found recording |
a vote having been taken upon a resO.
luton endorsing W. J. Bryan. In !
fact no such resolution was introduced |
In the populist convention, nor was
there an attempt made to endorse the
great silver leader, but whenever the
name of Bryan was mentioned it
brought forth hearty applause.
In the democratic convention NJ.
A. Miller. of Linn county, int oduced
| resolution endorsing w. j. Bryan
or president in 1900. and the resolu-
ion was received with great applause,
,ut it was Withdrawn before a vo,e
vas taken. Had it been allowed to so
o q vote, very likely it would have been
dOpted by unanimous vote. for the
was composed uf earnest
dmirers of Bryan. However the con.
'entions that assembled in Portland
ast Friday were no. called to nomi-
late man for president in 1900. there
nre the resolution was untimely, and
fr. Miller DISPLAYED better Judgment
n Withdrawing 1t than he did in in
it at that time.

WHAT THE ISSUE WILL BE

Already the platform of the union
forces in Oregon has been adopted,
and fearless stand has been taken
against fastening upon the nation ir-
revokably ;he single gold standard.
What will be the declarations of the
republican state co vention on the
money question is already a foregone
conclusion. 1t must declare in favor
of the gold standard and the Gage cur
rency bill. The republican leagues
convention has already outlined the
policy # the party and it cannot
deviate therefrom. The issue will
therefore not be strictly between gold
and silver, but between an attemp. to
contract the currency on the one hand
and determination 70 keep it as it
is on the other.
Silver men have by no means
abandoned the fight for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the
present legal ratio of 16 to 1, but they
realize thai until there is a change in
the national administration their cause
is hopeless, even though they should
