BENEFIT OF HAVING AN OP-
POSITION PARTY.

The predatory politician who shouts
for the gold standard, because he
kinks it will keep his party in
power 'and his nose Sin The pub
lie crib, sneers at the Union party as a
mere fusion for spoils. He can't see
any possible good IN it.
The thoughtful citizen, who is
really the controlling factor In public
affairs, can see the value of a we'll
organized opposition party to hold
down these self-same predatory ele-
n.ents Ia the Republican party. He
can see that safe conservative union
OF forces is the only means OF saliva
tion against high taxes, extravaganza
in public affairs and corruption in
politics.
The intelligent taxpayer knows
that mere financial theories have
nothing 10 do with practical admin
lstration in state, county, city and
school affairs. The goldbug may be a
Doodle politician. The silver man or
Populst may be strictly honest pub
lie Official.
Who are the taxpayers of Marion
county 10 turn TO for relief from high
taxes cut the Union, or opposition
party. If the Union had not proposed
net reduction Of salaries of $4,000 a
year would IL ever have occurred to
the Republicans to promise reduc-
tion Of $4,000 OF more? Don't II
make you smile ?
Solong as the Republicans are able
to keep the people DIVIDED into three
OF -four minority parties, and elect
any yellow dog" that can get on the
ticket, they will not put up any other
than "yellow dog" candidates or give
the people anything but yellow dog
governments.
IL the taxpayers In the Republican
party who want relief from high
taxes la comfy aud state, they can
get IL by electing the Union ticket,
IL they endorse the insincere promises

Lrolled by the cormOfant class oi

pect reforms
No state 10 the Union needs the

ian pledged the Republican state
ticket TO accomplish the same re-
forms that IL now denounces King

Oregon is state twice as large as
Iowa, with about one-seYenth the
population. Nearly one'thlrd the
voters are 10 one county, or under It's

STAND BY EASTERN OREGON.

1t would have a wholesome salu-
tary effect on this commonwealth to
elect Hon. VIII r. King Of Eastern
Oregon governor.
1t would establish new relations
and new bonds Of friendship between
two .sections of the state that have
become somewhat estranged.
Let us tie Eastern and Western Or.
egon together by new alliance, and
sunder the old corrupt political influ-
ences and CO. partnership that has pre-
vailed too long TO the detriment OF
our people, aud has hindered the de-
yelopment of our state,
Western Oregon and Willamette
alley have too long held monopoly
in our state affairs. Let US destroy

ing VIII r. King, governor. A man

what this man has done for the party
and why we are whooping him up ?
We understand the incentive Of those
who have been promised the peBiten-
tiary, the asylum, the reform school,
etc. But l address the rank and file
who simply vote. He Is the avowcd
tool Of the mOnied interests we know;
yet we are quite willing to elevate
him TO place where he can serve
them still better. 1t makes no differ
ence what party he affiliates with, no
one who loves good government
should give him support.
The politicians and newspapers
raise the battle cry of "goldite, "
"silverite," " and the fool voters divide
into two hostile camps and vote
against one another and their own
interests. 1t would seem that any
other issue outside of this shlboleth is
an unknown quantity with the ma
jority Of voters.
II we we're not so prejuliced and
biased we would not suffer these dem
agogues and political shysters to run
our primaries and pack our conven
tions. As it is. we blindly follow
their lead, and vote to a man for
their nominees. That is why Geer
has been so diligent and profuse in
promising offices to men as hungry as
himself, and they packed the prlm-
aries and conventions. II he could
get the nomination, he was sure of
the vote. The convention departed
from the usual Republican precedent
of comforting a second nomination
upon a deserving servant, turning
down an able jurist for a trucKling
shyster, er,-dethroning the king aud
crowning the knaye, sacrificing Gov
ernor Lord and his friends to the in
terests of T. T. Geer.
From the dissatisfaction OF some Of
his delegates, it would appear that
they were slaughtered also. But that
was small affair; he would have
slaughtered the party had it beer
necessary, to procure the nomination
He is for T, T. Geer first, last, an6
all the time, but some of his delegate:
don't seem to know it even now. How
the Republican party has fallen from
its high ideals since the days of Lin
coin. No lofty aspirations to obtain
noble ends by noble deeds.
Blatant blatherskites, and incom
petent blockheads pose for our ap
| plause, and receive our ballots, anC
crowd one another at the pie counter
trough, What shall we say Of the
intelligence of party that suffer-
this indignity? We ask the ques
tion with all due respect. What il
Mr.. Geer's estimate of its intellig
ence? He affirmed it was not to b,
trusted to elect senator by popular
vote. OF course not. They mus
elect him and he will choose thei
senator. He holds us at less valu,
than the forty cent dollar.
In conclusion, would say, that th
man is a political degenerate. W.
shout for clean man, and then nom
mate one notoriously corrupt and in
competent, and gulltless OF any &C
worthy our support. 1t remains to b'
seen whether the Republican party II
going to stoop to the degradation o
electing him. Buzzards prey onl
upon dead carcases.
