BRYAN AND TOWNE FOR PARKER
1t viii be Of interest to Populists and
western democrats to know that both
Bryan and TOwne, candidates respect
lively for president on the democratic
ticket and for vice president on the free
silver republican ticket in 1890, TOwne,
however, resining in favor of the regu-
lar democratic nominee, Stevenson, are
enthusiastically supporting Parker. Mr..
Bryan gives his reasons as follows:
IF you ask me why I, a silver demo-
crat, can support Judge Parker, q gold
democrat, viii answer that am more
interested in constitutional government
and human liberty than ever was in
gold and silver.
Some silver men say they don't like
Parker because he believe in gold.
knew It before the convention and I
have no reason to doubt it since. How
can the situation be improved by voting
against a gold democrat and aiding a
gold republican like Roosevelt. who at
tacks Parker because he voted for me
as a silver man in 1896 and 1900? The
money question is not a paramount is
sue now. say to you silver democrats
that I am more interested in cOnstitu-
tiOnal government than in either gold
or silver. If men who are opposed to
Judge Parker on the money question
were to defeat him now they would
have to take the responsibility for four
years more Of republican rule.
THE republicans are spending mon
ey, circulating my speeches among you
and spreading broadcast what they
claim IS my opinion Of Judge Parker.
want to tell You now that am as sin
cerely for the democratic ticket as head
ed by Parker as I was for the ticket
headed by myself. I am for Parker be
cause Parker stands on a platform which
embraces my views on matters which
are now paramount. Parker voted for
me and supported the democratic ticket
although be did not agree with my
views on the financial question. Why
should not I be for Parker when he and
I agree On the. Philippine question and
other great questions now to the
frontl"

the most eloquent orators IN the United
States, and a lawyer of national emf
hence. After the national campaign of
1900 he retired from politics, went into
business, and, making several millions
in the Texas oil fields, located in the
city of New York IN the practice of law.
The democrats nominated him for con-
gress in the Fourteenth district, and
the Populist organization offered him
their endorsement which he declined,
presumably, believing the proper thing
for all reformers opposed to republican
misrule is to support Judge Parker. In
declining he says:
81 am a democrat. impugn no
mans motives. recognize every Cit
zen's right to exercise his political func-
tons according to his own conscience;
but am profoundly of the opinion that
in this campaign the fundamental Prin-
ciples Of our republic are at stake and
that a vote for any national ticket other
than Parker and Davis is at least half
vote in favor of the abandonment of the
doctrine of our national life. Under
these circumstances 1 do not think my
self justified in accepting a formal ten
der of support which implies discrim-
nation against the balance of the dem
ocratic ticket, in whose success lies the
only hope of defeating the republican
party"
The same New York press dispatch
says: cit was officially stated that both
representative Sulzer and LaughIin,
candidates for congress, have also de-
clined the Populist endorsement"
The endorsement referred to was from
the supporters Of Tom Watson for the
presidency. The impression is gaining
ground that the republican campaign
managers have financed this and other
organizations of voters opposed to the
republican party, keeping them in line
to prevent them from voting with the
democrats, well knowing that they real
ly hold the balance of power. That
this has been the case since the cam
Paign of 1896 has been openly declared
by reputable journals, and the state
ment not called in question nor denied
IN any quarter. 1t is estimated that the
Tom Watson Cooper Union meeting
cost, approximately, $4,000. He spoke
IN Topeka under republican auspices.
Undoubtedly the rank and file do not
know these things, or do not believe
them.
The policy of the republican party is
to divide the forces Of the enemy and
they stop at nothing to accomplish their
ends It is even admitted by rePubli-
cans now that the election was stolen
from Tilden in 1876. And It is now gen
orally believed that the elections Of 1896
and 1900 were carried against Bryan by
the corrupt use of money in doubtful
states. The safety of republican insti-
tutions lies with the democratic party
and the reform element md the labor
vote hold the balance of power. A unit
ed vote for democracy tells the story

Ed. Buckeye: We hear that J. ".
Tibbels, formerly of this place, has
been nominated for representative of
Sherman county, kan, by the demo
cratic party. While we think John is
all wrong politically, yet as a man and
a citizen none was more loyal to his
friends or more faithful and honest in
business transactions; and he is worthy
of the support of his party. His father
was a soldier, a member of the sd
Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and died in
the service. A. RUSSELL"
Oberlin Eye:-''Our old friend, John
Tibbels, who recently declined thedem-
Ocratic nomination for representative in
Sherman county, has been persuaded
to a ccept the nomination. Some Peo-
pie in Sherman county are saying that
John is a tenderfOot. The people Of
Decatur county who have known him
as a farmer and stock man for the last
IS years viii laugh when they hear Of
John being called a tenderfOOt. John
Tibbels is mighty well fixed and made
the most of his money right here in
Decatur county. We have no earthly
use for his politics but a better friend
never lived. He is keen too, and honest

sPEcuLAToRs NOT SLOW.
Have Gobbled Up Large Part Of Grand
Ronde Reserve,

L NOUue nSeSfNSs
| Salem, Aug. 5.--According to the OBJ
servations of State Land Agent Oswald
West, who returned last evening from
a visit TO the Grand Ronde reservation
1t is quite apparent that timber land
spectators have not been mapping OF
late. These men have had experienced
cruisers at work ever since the land
was advertised for sale, covering the
entire portion of the reservation bear
ing green timber In any quantities.
They have selected the choisest tracts
of timber lands and have the advant-
age over the inexperienced buyer in
that they will be prepared to bid all
that the land is worth from a specula-
tive point Of view. The man who
chances TO buy the land over their
heads stands In danger OF finding out
that he is liable to pay more than the
land is worth.
"The northern portion Of the re-
serve" said Mr.. West, has been
burned, is covered with heavy growth
Of salal brush and is fit for nothing
except grazing, but the southern part
bears some valuable green timber. The
best Of the timber Is located In the
southeastern corner Of the reservation,
while the rest of the timber-cove
portion is only heavy in patches. Tim
ber cruisers by the score have trav-
ersed and viewed every section and
quarter section of the land, and no
doubt have mapped out the most valu-
able divisions. These men have de-
cided advantage, In that they know
exactly how to go about 1t, and are
financially able to have. the land
cruised thoroughly.
Hundreds of prospective buyers
have visited the reservation to pick
out the most desirable land, but when
they get there they are entirely at sea.
While on the reservation / saw many
amusing instances. The majority of
the visitors drive. somewhat excitedly
and anticipatingly, up to the agency,
greet the Indian agent, inform him
that they had come to look at the ad-
vertised land, and ask him where 1t is
located. The agent smiles blandly,
and with, a sweep OF his hand first
in one direction and then in the oppo-
site one, says: Well, some Of it is
over there, and some over there
THE aspect of the land is by no
means the most engaging, being rugged |
and mountainous. The sight which |
greets the eyes Of the erstwhile pros
pective purchaser is not one to foster
very brilliant prospects in the heart |

STATE WILL SELL STOCK.
Highest Bidder to Get Maryland's In
terest in Big Canal.

Baltimore, Aug. 5.-The board OF
public works has decided to sell the
interests of the state of Maryland
amounting to sSO.OOO.OOO, in the Ches-
apeake & Ohio canal to the highest
bidder. The stock 1t was supposed the
state had been holding for many years
cannot be found and no evidence has
come to light that 1t ever existed.
Governor Warfield is quoted as say
ing that neither the treasurer, con-
troller nor himself had been able to
trace any receipts that the state had
ever had an interest In the canal, but
that there was no doubt as to the
legal rights Of the commonwealth in
the property.
1t is now believed that the states
interests are centered in the rights Of
the assembly, giving the right to build
the waterway and the passage of ap-
propriations, but these documents are
yet to be found.

Somewhat Remarkable Showing of Re-

New York, Aug. 5.-From almost
every part of the country from which
the International Mercantile Agency
has received special reports this week,
there are signs Of an improvement in
trade with better business on hand than
is customary at this season of the
year and few cancellations as a re-
suit of the rather calamitous reports
that have been sent the past few days
from spring wheat sections in the
northwest. This is a splendid augury
for the trade for the next six months.
1t is quite remarkable how little alarm
has been evidenced by the labor trou-
bles that already exist and those that
threaten. Locally, the strike of the
men in the packing house trade. is of
