REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

I
The following is the platform adopted
by the republican party Of Oregon in
etsta convention assembled, at Astoria,
THURSDAY, April a. 1898:
the republican voters of the
state of oregon, in convention assem-
bled, congratulate the people of the
state as well as of the whole nation on
the unmistakable fact that the dark
cloud of adversely, which has hung like
pail over our fair land, has been dis
sipated. We recognize that the return
Of prosperity is due to the restoration
of the republican party to power.
1--WE are in favor of the maintenance
OF the present gold standard; we are
unqualihedly opposed to the free coin
age of silver and to all other schemes
looking to the debasement of the cur
rency and the reputation of debt, We
believe that the best money in the
world is none too good to be assured
by the government to the laborer as
the fruit of his toll and to the farmer
as the price of his crop. We condemn
the continued agitation of free silver
as calculated to jeopardise the prosper
ity OF the country and to shake the
confidence of the people in the main
tenance Of a wise financial policy we
particularly condemn as unpatriotic
the efforts of the free silver agltators
to array class against class and sec
ton against section; we declare that
the interests of all classes and of all
sections of our country alike demand
sound and stable financial system.
While we deplore the immlnenee of
war, we recognize that the country is
on the eve of a war. undertaken for
the vindlcation of the national honor
and the performance of a work dictated
by every instinct of humanity; we de-
clare that the administration is en-
titled in this conflict to the confidence
and support of the entire people.
= I'VE are firmly attached to the prln-
ciples 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
constitution which will abrogate this
tlme-honored principle.
I'VE are in favor of retrenchment
and reform in state and county mat
tersr
1--WE demand strict economy in pub
lie affairs, and the abolition of all
needless offices and commissions.
"The salmon fishing industry, so
fruitful source of revenue to the
state, should be fostered, and to that
end we favor state aid in the artificial
propagation of salmon. and their dis
tribution in the waters of the state.
I'VE reaffirm our allegiance to the
principles of the republican party of
the United States, as enunciated by
the republican convention in st. Louis
in 1886,
I'VE denounce the fusion party OF
Oregon as an aggregation of spoils-
men, who are ready to subordinate
principles to Offices Each of the par
ties to this compact Is willing to stul-
tify itself and form alliances with ele-
meLts which 1t has heretofore de-
nounced as dangerous and unfit to be
lntrusted with power; we declare that
good government cannot come from
such an alliance"

Facts and Figures,
Two Washington Orators at
the Armory Last Night.
Complete Exposition of Republican Ex-
travagance, Bribery and Corruption.

Hon. Chas. G., Heifner, Insurance
Commissioner for the State Of Wash
ington, and Hon. Robert Bridges
Commissioner Of Public LANDS for the
same state, made able addresses last
evening at the armory to large and
enthusiastic audience.
Although the rain was pouring 6
down in torrents many ladies were
among the crowd. After some spirited
music by the H. A. G. band, Commit
teeman John Rayne referred to the
libelous charges made by the States
man against Hon. II. L. Barkley. He
stated that the committee had given
the matter the fullest investigation q
and found the charges to be utterly,
wholly and maliciously false. Mr..
Barkley would be In the city Friday
evening and would no doubt haYe
something to say about these charges.
DR.. Jetfries, who acted as chairman
of the meeting then introduced Mr.,
Heifner who made one Of the ablest,
clearest, most forceful as we'll as most
eloquent appeals in behalf of the con-
Stitutional rights Of the people that
has been made in this city during the
pending campaign. In the beginning
he said that the G. o. p. carried the
state of Oregon in 1896 by methods
that should be Investigated by the
grand jury. He spoke Of the war
with Spain and said the great masses
of the people, without regard to polit-
ical affiliations were united to mete
out to Spain just retribution for
four centuries Of crime. All the peo-
pie were willing to hold up the arms
of the president in every copstltu.

citizens of Cuba. He scored IT,

Mr.. Bridges speech was most ef-
fective. He came he said from Wash.
ington state under the blight Of
Popullsm and then he showed the
differe noes in taxation and expendi-
lures in that state under former Re-
publican rule and under the present
Peoples administration. Since the
Popullsts went into power at no time
have any county warrants been below
par. They generally bring a
premium Of 24 cents. Republican
went begging at county warrants
90c. He explained how the state
went in debt under Republican
rule at the rate of $l,025 per
day and under the peoples rule was
cancellina the Indebtedness to the
tune of $l373 per day. He explained
how the people of Washington had
rose in their might and turned the
rascals out.
He compared the assessments of
Washington and Oregon on the same
classes Of property, which showed
that Oregon Republican Office holders
were playing in the hands of corpora
tions
His whole speech was a mastery
arraignment of Republican rascality
and mismanagement and made a
strong impression on his hearers.

I'VE print below Prof. Graham's
letter in defence of Prof. Ackerman,
the Republican candidate for state
superintendent Cf schools. He takes
space To review what is well known.
In the midst If the hardest times for
forty years The JOURNAL did oppose
a change Of textbooks. We were op-
pOsed To the law when it was passed,
we opposed putting it into operation
by the county superintendents, and
executing the contract by our state
officials. We opposed the whole sys-
tenn and advocated bill in the legis-
lature for state publication at cost,
Just as California does.
Prof. Graham asks us If we favor a
change in textbooks If we were re-
quired to vote on the matter the
question would be pertinent. If
Mr.. Graham had heard the lecture OF
State Supt. Brown, of Washington.
at Salem the other night, and had
seen the prices OF textbooks In that
state, and other states published in
this paper he would know that Or
egOn is paying TOO much for text
books. Iftintsare as hard in 1900 as
they were ia 1894 We might oppose a
change again. or course We favor
some changes. Some OF the text
books now used in Oregon and which
We must use until 1901 are disgrace
to free schools. But we are living
under an Ir1nclad trust system.
