The oreeonian says;
1--WE believe the people OF the Unite
Q States will not support the democrats
party In any proclamation that we are
. nation OF poltroons and dastards." Sine,
when did II become known that tRs
democratic party had Issued, or woulc
issue such a proclamationa Such a pro.
cedure never catered the mind of any
democrat in the land and no republican
other than the editor Of the oregonlan.
1t democrat suggests that we should
say openly ard in all candor TO the peo-
pie OF the Philippine islands that 1t is
the purpose of our government to extend
them the same rights and privileges that
we have agreed to extend to the Cubane,
the oregonian comes forward and says
this Is proclamation.that I'VE are ma.
tion Of poltroons and cowards,"
To make such promises to the Philip
pine islands would be doing just the
thing we would have TO do to carry out
the pledge we made TO the civilized
world at the beginning Of the Spanish
war when We solemnly declared by reso-
luton passed by both houses Of Congress
thas the war was to be waged entirely
upon humanitarian grounds and not
Tor conquest.
Now to refuse to do right and keep
this pledge makes us rather like towards |
and poltroons and thus the chickens
come home TO roost at the 0regonian
chicken house. That paper would treat
all people who take this view OF the mat
ter as traitors and on one or two occa-
sions Ii has published the statutory law

Ioar. Ex-senator Eilnunds, Senator
Jason of I.linois, Mr.. Atkinson the
reat antl-imperiaiiss leader in Boston,
x-Goveruoo Boutwell,, the Springfield
