Judge Gray's explanation Of the
cOuntry's financial condition merits the
attention of taxpayers. 1t is a COM
plete and convincing answer to the
wanton and malicious charges" Of
the democrats who are steering the
citizens" campaign. 1t is state
ment upon which Judge Gray chal-
lenees investigation. Instead of run
ming the county in debt, as these demo-
Gratis would have il appear, the pres
ent administration has actually reduc-
ed the county's indebtedness over $2O.-
900, besides paying nearly $4,000 of
interest on the debt accumulated be-
fore 1t went into office. There can
Dc no QueSllOH US 10 the COITCClutSS
of the showing. and any citizen can
so satisfy himself by an examination
Of the statement in another column.
The utter desperation and unscrupu-
lousness of the men behind the ''cid-
zens" movement is clearly demonstrate
ed by this statement. 1t exposes a
deliberate and premeditated purpose on
the part Of these men to defeat the
republican ticket by willful fraud and
imposition on the people. Its effect
win be disastrous on the citizens"
ticket. 1t is difficult to see how any
man with a spark Of honesty and
truthfulness in his composition can
endorse such campaign methods as
Judge Gray's statement convicts the
democrats of at the polls on Monday.

The Astorian would like to say few
earnest words to the republicans on the
subject of the legislative ticket As
explained few days ago there can
be no objection raised to John Hahn
on the score of his standing as citizen
and a business man. He is known to
be honest. but headstrong and inde-
pendent. And there is just the rub
with his candidacy for the legislature
this time. Any other year John Hahn
might be a good man to send to the
legislature from Clatsop county. But
the very virtue which would recon-
mend John Hahn in an off year is a
vice this time. Let the Astorian ex-
plain very briefly what it means. John
Hahn has been induced to become a
candidate for the legislature on the
theory that the republican party Of
Clatsop county deserves to be turned
down. 1t is not necessary to discuss
the reasons, fancied or real, why this
sentiment has found expression in
John Hahn's nomination; suffice It is to
say that it exists and that the demo-
Gratis are moving heaven and earth to
take ADVANTAGE of it. Now. or
dinarily, it should be enough for any
republican to know that the democrats
are favoring any local political COM
bination TO justify his opposition to
it. Especially ought this to be so in
a year like this. when the combined
forces of opposition to republican
measures Of public policy are making
the most desperate battle in their mis-
tory. The republican party has made
wonderful gains in TIE affection of the
people within the last four years. It's
success in the administration of the
affairs of the Nation has been un-
paralleled in human experience. 1t is
a waste of time to attempt to explain
why this is so; every man, woman or
child, of reasoning age, knows that it
is true. If William Mckinley is elect
ed this year, and congress continues
to be controlled by republican major
ity, both the democratic and populist
parties, so far as their present alleged
principles are concerned, will go to
pieces. Neither will ever dare affirm
in national or state platform the doc
trines upon which they now profess to
stand. any more than the democratic
party dared to affirm after the civil
war, which IT fomented and encouraged
by every means in its power, the here

ELI PERKINS DOWN SOUTH.

The other day. says the Louisville
Commercial. Eli Perkins was intro
duced by Judge Scott. an old dyed-in-
the-wool Kentucky democrat. The
Judge is well known in the blue grass
region. and the grand old Kentuckian
has always been looked up to as a
high priest of "befo' the wah democ-
racy."
Perkins was introduced by an old
democrat, and Judge Scott supposed
that Eli was democrat, too, and he
became confidential with him at once.
How are we democrats getting along
judge?" asked Eli in a confidential
tone.
The judge looked at Eli for a moment
to see II he really wanted information
about the party, and slowly remarked:
Wen. sir. We are getting on very
well financially, but politically We are
running behind; yes, I'm afraid we are
running behind"
What causes this?" asked Eli.
We'll. sir" said The judge. sadly,
Il am afraid our party has not been al
together right. We have erred in some
thing"
Where have We erred. judge?"
We'll. sir, hate to admit 1t, but our
Grover Cleveland policy hurt us Ken
tuckians. wouldn't say 1t to a black
republican. but We democrats all ad-
nit it among ourselves. You see," said
the judge, Eve used to get 35 cents for
wool. and a big price for hemp and
tobacco before Grover came in, but that
Wilson bill hurt us. II knocked wool
down to u cents. Free jute. put in to
help the cotton fellows, ruined our
hemp. and 1t rotted in the ground.
Then we lowered the tariff on tobacco
and our tobacco went down on US. We
didn't complain. but we democrats did
a good deal Of thinking. Cattle and
hogs got lower and lower, and when
Grover went out We were pretty poor;
yes, dog-on hardup, sir"
Are they still bad-the times?"
asked Ell.
No, honestly, the times are good.
Wool and hemp and tobacco have
doubled in price and are still going up.
Cattle and hogs are high and our blue
grass farmers are getting rich"
We'll, what is the matter. them"
Why, these good times have knocked
out our dear old democratic party. Our
democratic farmers say that they win
never vote for free trade or low tariff
again.
Well. what can we democrats do?"
asked Eli.
Il hate to admit it," said the judge
sadly, but If we democrats want to
win again we've got to keep the tariff
right where 1t is. That old Wilson bill
and Bryan's free silver will be scare
crow to every farmer in Kentucky and
Tennessee. We've tried low tariff and
We know-I'm ashamed to say so. but
we know 1t hurt us! No, sir, the people
are prosperous, but our democratic
party is doing poorly. I wouldn't say
1t to black republican, but that is
the way we democrats talk among our
selves"
As the Judge got off the train at Lex
ington he remarked: Yes, and there
was another mistake we democrats
made. Grover Cleveland wanted to
sink the republic Of Hawaii and put
niger on the throne. We democrats
didn't complain, but 1t made us sick,
for, between you and me. we democrats
amt putin niggers on thrones. Nc
