TURNED HEARST DOWN.

AS a result of the fierce fight
waged in the Democratic State
Convention over the passage of a
resolution instructing the dele
gates from Oregon to the St Louis
convention for Hearst, the jour-
nalist candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination can count on re-
ceiving Oregon's eight votes only
in case he can develop surprising
strength in the National Conven-
ton. This seems to be the ver-
dict of impartial observers, albeit
the Portland Journal, the leading
Democratic paper of the state,
takes more hopeful view of the
situation. According to that au-
thority the delegation twill be
distinctly favorable to Hearst.
The debate which preceded the
vote upon the resolution was acri-
monious. Cries and groans as
sailed the speakers, and turmoil
reigned while the orators spit fire
at each other. Delegates from all
sections of the state were eager to
go on record and, incidentally,
give others an opportunity to hear
them talk. Benton county's rep
resentatives were not remiss, and
the Portland papers give them
special mention. The Oregonian
has this to say:
sour party is not limited to one
Moses," shouted w. s. McFadden, of
Benton, the next lucky gentleman to OBJ
tain the chairman's consenting eye. eve
have several Daniels. We have more
than one man who will be the Moses to
wave mis- wand over the Red Sea of our
discomfort" Some of the delegates be-
gan to gasp for breath at the Benton
County orators tangled metaphors, but
the obliyious Judge McF adden proceeded
to give them more.
"Some one else may come forth" :" he
shouted. "The ides of July are but three
months off. Are we Hessians Are we
harbarians that we need missionaries
sent to us from California? Let our del
egates go to st Louis untrammeled."
The chairman recognized Benton
county delegate, but Thomas Guinean be-
gan to speak also. The Benton man
stopped.
another gentleman has the floor,
said the chairman to Guinean.
But I'll only keep it minute" pro-
tested Guinean, and the Benton man sur
rendered. Mr.. Guineau was vehement
supporter of Hearst

THE ONLY REMEDY.

1t is by satisfying the trio of
bosses, of which Judge McFad-
den is the head, that Democratic
candidatesin this county secure
a place on their party ticket and
to these bosses they owe their first
allegiance. However much regard
these candidates, when elected,
may have for their official duty,
their denominations depend upon
the will of the trio of bosses, and
they must satisfy the bosses or
get out.
There is just one way in which
the Democratic party can rid it.
self of this trio who exploit that
party for their own personal ends,
and that way is to defeat every
candidate named in convention
ruled by Judge McFadden and his
right and left bower. The rerne-
dy may be severe, but every Dem
ocrat, who has sought Office and
found that nominations could be
secured only from the trio just
named, will bear witness that the
disease is desperate.
These three bosses regard the
election of a Democratic candi-
date as a personal triumph for
themselves, aud an Endorsement
ofthe despicable methods employ
ed by them in the campaign.
1t is Judge McFadden's boast
that the merits of the candidates
on either ticket are OF no conse-
quence; that he can ''give the op-
position cards aud spades and win
out"
Members OF both parties who
have grown sick and tired of the
abuse and calumny which Judge
McFadden and his lieutenants in
ject into every campaign conduct
ed in this county, will unite in
showing their disapproval by vot-
ing against the candidates these
methods are designed to elect.

That Mr.. Frank G. Baker, dur
ing his absence on a sick bed,
was selected as chairman of the
Republican state central commit

qualifications and efficiency, but
an unusual testimonial of conf

The '''good roads, resolution
read before the recent Demo-
cratic convention, held in this
city, has not seen the light of
day since Delegate William
Bryans of Wren, swatted its
authors for their assurance in
even mentioning roads when
they had expended the peoples
money so extravagantly and in
many instances had made the
roads worse instead of better.

NO FAVORIIIS1M SHOWN.

There is al attemp. on the plrt
of certain Democratic papers in
the state, says the Telegram, to
associate the failure of a Con-
gressional appropriation for har-
Dor work and the improvement
of the lower Columbia with the
fac1 that the state is not repre-
sented by d Demo cratic delega-
ton. In o. her words, that in the
matter of sop throwing Congress
faces no necessity to propitiate
the webfoot state, because it is
safely Republican. and the inter
ests of the commonwealth suffer
in consequence 1t has long been
admitted that the science of psy-
chology will never reveal the
secret springs of Democratic
thought, conjecture and theory,
but if, in its multifarious maun-
derings, it has ever gone wider
of the mark, the instance-local-
ly at least-is not of record. If,
as has been the case, a Republi-
can Congress determines that
river and harbor appropriations
shall be eliminated from the Ma
tional budget for the ensuing year,
and has consistently carried the
effect of that determination to all
sections of the Union without ref
erence to political alignment, it
is painfully difficult to understand
wherein the influence of men who
are opposed to the prevailing poll
cy would be more potent than
the strenuous efforts that have
been made in favor of Oregon by
the present Congressional dele
cation. Is it possible that Demo
cratic Senators and Congressman
could be considered as approach
able on the basis of swapping a
birthright for a mess of pottage !?
While the people of Oregon may
regret the failure to secure the
appropriation, they have
no complaint to make on the
ground OF favoritism shown other
sections of the country. To the
contrary, consideration has been
shown for their interests in a very
important matter, possibly at this
time the most important, namely
a provision for the Inauguration
of work on the Cello canal. This
is fact our Democratic brethren
have apparntly overlooked.

The Demeeratic party was not limited
to one Moses declared w. 8. McFadden,
of Benton County. He proclaimed the
existence of several Daniels, and further
he declared by way OF another metaphor
that Eve had more than one man who
would be the Moses to wave his wand
over the Red Sea of our discomfort" And
then he announced that the ides of July
were bot three months off and those who
heard him marveled at the Shakespear-
