The following are the resolu-
ton adopted as amended:
We, the Republican, of Custer county
in convention assembled, do hereby eX-
press our confidence in the principles of
Republicanism and our loyalty to the
policies which the party puts i'll force,
fully believing that they are the motor
which start the wheels that grind the
grist that makes this country prosperous
and great, never looking backward only
to gain knowledge from lessons of ex-
perience, but ever forward to higher
planes of usefulness to the people. We
arraign the Democratic party for its i'll
sincerity of purpose and its incompetency
to keep abreast of the times when in adj
ninistrative power. 1t is always point
ing with pride to some act of theirs
which happened before Noah built the
Ark. There is nothing i'll their recent
history of which they can feel proud, UNI
less it be the famous swallowing act by
which they absorbed the late populist
party. This we admit rivals the feat of
Jonah when he swallowed the whale.
We endorse the administration of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. His sturdy manhood,
unflfnching courage in unfolding right.
His wise conservative judgement places
him on higher plane of manhood where
only manly men can stand, and we
pledge ourselves to assist i'll his renomina-
ton and triumphant election.
Resolved, That as matter of right and
good public policy that faithful official
is entitled encouragement at the hands OF

Colorado Governor.

Denver, Dec. 10.-The supreme court
today heard arguments on a motion
which has an important bearing upon
the result of the election OF governor
and members Of the legislature In this
state.
Attorneys representing the republl-
can party have asked the supreme
court, which has assumed original
jurisdiction in the local election cases
to- order the Denver election com
mission to throw out the entire vote In
which It is alleged the courts order re-
lating to watchers was violated. with
out an Investigation to determine the
number of legal votes cast and without
opening the ballot box.
Should the court order the vote of
this precinct thrown out. the attorneys
for the republicans will demand similar
action in respect to about fifty pre-
cincts in which 1t is charged that the
courts orders were violated.
All these precincts gave majorities
for Alva Adams for governor, and by
throwing out the returns the republi-
can managers hope to overcome
Adams majority Of about 1000 in the
state and continue Governor Peabody
In office The control Of the state SEN
ate also appears to hinge upon the de-
cision on this matter. h

The Usual Story.

The Portland Journal contained an
article yesterday, wherein First Officer
Findlay claims that he was subjected
to many indignities while the Elleric
was lying in quarantine. Like all Of
ficers Of this class he is Of the opinion
that he should be taken to first class
hotel and treated as some noted digni-
tary. Arrogance and Importance are
two Of the component parts Of petty
officials, who demand for themselves
what they are not willing to accord to
their subordinates. When ship is in
fected with smallpox the quarantine
officer knows no distinction or rank
and follows the laws implicitly. DIR.
Earle is always considerate to the un-
fortunates, but he has certain duties
to perform and he proposes to perform
them without fear or favor. The
charges made by Findlay are unwar-
ranted by the facts. Ports have to be
protected from infectious diseases as
a safeguard to the lives and health of
the community and DR.. Earle can be
depended upon to see that these inter-
ests are protected.

CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.

The Civic improvement Club Is a
necessary adjunct t6 every enterpris-
ing city. The results accomplished
by these organizations in eastern cities
are wonderful. For some reason, the
club in Astoria did not receive the en-
couragement it deserved. 1t was in
the hands of efficient officers who
worked hard to secure members and
make it a success. The objects Of the
club were not generally understood in
Astoria. It was an Innovation that the
early settlers were not accustomed to.
To keep yards clean and beautiful, the
streets free from rubbish and filth,
was something new to them. and there
mt being sufficient number Of eastern
neople here to take hold Of the matter,
the civic Improvement League went
out of business. They had collected
about s25. They offered to turn it
back to the donors, but they refused
and it was turned over to the Civic
Improvement department of the Wo-
mems Club. This club is composed Of
prominent women Of Astoria, whose in

A GOVERNORS MISTAKE.

Denver will soon wrest the palm as a
rotten borough from Manhattan, Baiti-
more, Delaware and other places which
have been notorious for ballot box
Istuffing and political corruption. sIn
one election precinct of Denver 1t has
been established that ten persons cast
81 ballots. the repeaters voting from
2 to 19 ballots each. OF the 81 bal
lots cast by these repeaters 50 were
democratic and five republican. For
mer Congressman Shafroth Of Denver,
an honorable democrat, resigned his
seat in the present congress when he
learned of the ballot-box stuffing that
his supporters had INDUCED in two
years ago. 1t is high time that Denver
reused herself to throw off the yoke of
political corruption.
Evidently Governor Peabody made a
mistake and drove the wrong men out
of the state. 1t should have been the
politicians deported instead Of the
miners.

DUTY OF CITIZENS.

Christmas is fast approaching. The
children are on the tip toe OF expect
ancy; parents are busy with gifts fol
children: the stores of Astoria have
provided a larger stock OF Christmas
novelties this year than usual in an
ticipation of an increased trade. There
is one important matter ,that should be
impressed upon the people of Astoria
and that is the necessity of patronizing
home merchants. They have all pur-
chased large stock of goods. equal in
variety to any stock in Portland, and
the prices are in many instances low
er. The position taken by the Astorian
in urging people to patronize home
merchants has stimulated the mer-
chants and relying upon the loyalty
and good Judgment OF the public, have
purchased an unusually large stock of
goods. The stocks embrace everything
in the line Of Christmas presents. The
toy stores are full Of new novelties, Just
as many and just as good as can be
purchased in Portland. A little child
is just as much pleased with a toy
bought in Astoria as one bought in
Portland. Dry goods stores have laid
in stock adapted for holiday gifts.
larger and better than ever before.
Clothing merchants have WED with each
other in purchasing goods that win
meet with the wants and requirements
of the people. All the merchants are
better prepared this year to entertain
Christmas shoppers than ever before.
They should be encouraged in their
of all the people of Astoria. they will
continue to increase their stocks, both
for holiday and ordinary trade. 1t will
not be long before the stocks carried
in Astoria will be equal, If not superior
to stocks carried in any store in Ore
gon. II, however, the people continue
to go to Portland to do their trading;
If they persist in purchasing their
Christmas goods in Portland. the mer-
chants of Astoria will not feel justi-
fed in trying to cater to their trade.
Every dollar left in Astoria is a pro-
portionate increase in the wealth Of the
city, BY building up our mercantile
we give an incentive for
to come here and locate.
No manufacturing industry will locate
In q city where a large percentage !
Of Its people go away from home to
trade. 1t shows that they have no con-
Germ for home institutions.
I There is not single person in AS
toria that can offer a legitimate ex-
cuse for going away from home to
trade. There is no reason why we
should not build up Astoria instead OF
ending our efforts to build up Port
and. Every dollar spent in Portland
e SO much added to the prosperity Of
hat city, and so much taken away
trom Astoria. 1t cannot be expected
hat Astoria merchants will contribute
iberally to public entertainments and
public enterprises, when they are not
oatronized by the people seeking their
assistance. When merchants are max
ng money, they spend money. This is
rue of every avocation, every employ
nent, every business. The more pros
porous the business Of the city, the
more substantial improvements will be
made. 1t is not question Of saving a
lew cents, but of keeping money at
iome. That is what builds up city
makes it prosperous and its people hap
by and contented.
