POLITICAL SINCERITY.

The campaign of Charles E. Hughes
for the governorsnip OF New York has
struck new note in political discus
sion. Mr. Hughes went into the battle
with but little knowledge of campaign
ing. His first speeches were rather Ia
bored, and his Attempts to put his
views before the people fell rather
fiat, because he was overscholastic in
statement. AS he proceeded, however,
it became apparent that Mr.. Hughes
was not incapable. He was not merely
a technical lawyer, VINO had found him.
self out of place. He was feeling his
way, says the Minneapolis Journal All
at once the campaign struck fire.
Hearst in one of his wild TRADES ac-
cused Hughes of being a corporation
lawyer. Now the facts happened to be
that Mr.. Hughes had general practice
and that his big cases, in which he
earned his big fees, were cases where
he represented the state against the
corporations Mr.. Hughes took up the
matter and defended himself from the
charge, and then turning savagely on
Mr.. Hearst pilloried him before the
whole state as the owner of about a
dozen corporations, one of which was

pealing to the people he said: 1.-THE

IS PAID TWICE FOR HIS LAND
Land Slide Works Hardship On Dali
road But It Was Fine For
Shields.

CULDESAC, Idaho, Oct. 29.-Damo
Nature. through sliding hillside, has
assisted William Shields of this ci,r
in securing double pay from the North
ern Pacific Railway company for right
of way for the Grangeville extension
and damages to his property. As
result of the nature phenomena Mr.
Shields is $1,000 in pocket and tho
railroad company is far from being ont
of its dilemma.
Shields is the owner of an unpre.
tentlous frame shack which stood
upon the Northern Pacific right of wav
through the city. He sold out for $500
and moved his little home further IN
the hillside, out of the right of way.
Just about the time he got settled, the
monster steam shovel began cutting
away the hillside for the road grade
Before the steam shovel had gotten
beyond the shields house. the hillside
began to slide. The earth above the
cut gave way, and began to slide mo
the cut. The slide brought with it
the humble home of Mr.. Shields. II
did not take the slide many days to
bring the Shields home into the rlgn,
of way of the Northern Pacific. It was
clear to Mr.. Shields that ne did not
move of his own volition, and it was
equally clear to the Northern Pacific
that it had to get rid of Mr. Shields
a second time before the steam shovel
could proceed much further.
The Northern Pacific officials for
second time entered into negotiations
with Mr.. Shields looking to mis- aban-
donment of his position on the right of
way. AS in the first instance. Mr.
Shields received $500. But this time
he put no further trust in Dame Ma
ture. Instead of moving further up
the hillside, with the chance that the
hill would slide down into the cut,
ference with the Northern Pacific, Mr.
Shields took his house to pieces, dis
sembled it, and is now moving it to
lot in another section Of town, where
it is to be reassembled.
Mr.. Shields said he did not care to
take any further chances on sliding
hills and the generosity of North9rn
Pacific officials when it came to pay
ing three times over for a house that
persists in sliding down into a cut

GreeIey's Handwriting.

Probably the very worst handwriting
ever known was that of Horace Gree
ley, the founder Of the New York
Tribune. Greeley's manuscript was so
bad and so little like English in its
characters that the printers called IL
Koran" The consequence was that
when he was unable to correct MS
proofs the most ludicrous mistakes
were made. For example, celebrat-
ed speech by Secretary w. H. Seward
in 1858 drew a leader from Greeley in
the Tribune. which he headed seward
w. H." Circumstances prevented his
seeing a proof. and you may imagine
the feelings of Horace when the next
morning he saw his leader headed

SHERIFF TAYLOR LANDS ANOTHER
Pinches Young Hoskins for Aiding
PendIeton Prisoners to Break
Jail.

Another man is now under arrest
for having assisted in the recent
break at the county Jail by having
furnished saws with which Weddle,
Young and Bowman cut their way to
liberty, says the East Oregonian. The
prisoners name is Haskins and he was
found in Seattle by Sheriff T. D. Tay-
Tor yesterday.
The capture of Haskins is some
thing that has been earnestly de-
sired by the sheriff and his deputies
ever since the famous getaway was
make one Thursday night in Septem-
Der. He was implicated in the plot
through the confessions of Guy Young,
after mis- recapture, and Winnefred
Perry, now held in the county jail
upon a similar charge
According to the story told by the
boys. after they had been severely
"sweated" by the sheriff. the saws
were passed through the grated Jail
door by Haskins and Perry. Perry
was arrested in Walla Walla by Sher-
iff Taylor a few days after Weddle
and Young had been recaptured. AT
that time Haskins was in the Garden
City and the fact was known to Tay-
lor However, ne did not learn def
nitely of Haskins' connection with the
plot until his return to Pendleton,
when a full confession was made by
young Perry.
The search for Haskins was then
taken up in earnest and it was prose-
cuted vigorously until he was finally
captured by Sheriff Taylor.

Mr.. Hughes went on to heighten the
contrast between the anti-corporaion
editorials in Mr.. Hearst's newspapers,
and the acts of the Hearst corporations.
1t all went to show Hearst as an insin-
cere demagogue ready to play any part
before the public which would bring
him votes, and ready to play any part
in private which would save his COM
panies from paying rightful taxes or
proper damages at law.
The issue of political sincerity ap-
peals to the people of New York. 1t
ought to appeal to the people of every
state and city in the country, which
must vote for officials this fall
1t ought in particular to appeal to
the people of Minneapolis, who are
face to face with two candidates for
mayor, both claiming to be devoted to
law enforcement. On the surface both
candidates look alike. But the people
are quite likely to look under the sur
face this time and test the sincerity Of
the claims of the two men. Mayor
Jones they will find is the man who en-
forced the laws. Mr.. Haynes is the
man who promises ne will enforce them
next time. Mayor Jones is the man
who has put public gambling down.
Mr.. Haynes is the man who ridicules
the efforts of his opponent to do that,
but says while it cannot be done he
will try his best if he is elected.
The sincerity of the utterances of the
two men is in question. What can
reasonably be expected of either one
in case of his election is the issue.
On the point of what may be ex-
pected the letter of Walter N. Carroll
to the Tribune may be Of some value to
voters who are conscientiOusly seek
ing to discriminate between the claims
of the candidates.
"Mr. Haynes as mayor was possessed
of the most discouraging inertia which
has ever beset a public official. The
unvarnished recital of facts and figures
of the awful wineroom and low dive
theater conditions which obtained when
he was mayor, failed to bulge him an
inch.'

SCHEMES OF THE TRAITORS.

With a scheme to throw all possible
sunport to the democratic candidates
for the legislature, those enemies OF
Senator Ankeny, VINO belong to the
Evening Bunc"-Kees crowd of dis
charged politicians, are working
among the boxer element with the in
tention of cutting down the republican
legislative candidates majorities and,
if possible, crowd in at least one
democratic representative.
This is a statement which can be
verified. It is no news to those who
have an interest in periodically sup
porting the senator as Walla Walla
man. It is almost common street talk
and has resulted in large number OF
democrats announcing their intention
of voting for the republican legislative
candidates.
When arrangements were made Tor
the democratic convention, there were
a number of democratic leaders who
advised the endorsement of the repub-
lican legislative candidates, instead Of
nominating men to run for those Of
fees This advice was given out Of a
proper respect to Senator Ankeny as a
Walla Walla man who should have
H., ,,,;to1 e,,ppor4 ~ q II nartieS with
an idea of the effectiveness with
which such support could be used
throughout the state. wnen the proper
time came.
For time the proposition was &C
ceptable to the democrats. 1t was
practically certain such endorsement
would be given, until representatives
of the boxers, who were defeated in
the last primaries, began to circulate
among some Of the more ambitious
democrats and to promise them sup
port for a democratic legislative ticket
as against the Ankeny ticket if can
didates were put up.
knowing the decided enmity of the
Evening Bunc", KEGS, Mohundro and
others of that gang, some of the DEM
ocrats consented to make the deal.
It mad been declared to them that
the opposition of the "Bunc"-Kees
crowd of boxers to Mr.. Ankeny was
positive, despite the public assertions
that the fight was not against the SEN
ator.
The fact was pointed out that the
boxers mad purposely omitted to place
the senator on the boxer delegate
ticket in Clark precinct, believing as
they did that they would snow him
under and be able to boast that the
senator was beaten in his own pre-
cinct.
This talk convinced the democrats
they could depend on the boxers in the
"Bunc"- crowd and for this reason
candidates for the legislature were
nominated instead of the endorsement
being given to the senator.
That same crowd has two and, pos
sibly three, candidates on the republi-
can ticket. They are straining every
nerve to elect Otto B. Rupp and Wal
ter Cadman-and at the same time are
treacherously working for the demo-
cratic legislative candidates in the hope
of giving the senatorial interests an
other black eye.
The only safe method IS to vote
against every candidate branded with
the "Bunc" KEGS brand. Vote against
the democratic candidates for the
legislature. Vote against Otto B. Rupp
and Walter Cadman.
And don't forget it!

TO ENTERTAIN OREGON MEN.
Visitors to Jute Mill Arrive Tomorrow
in Special Cars.

Details for entertaining the mem
bers of the Oregon legislature and
we'll known Pendleton men who will
arrive in Walla Walla tomorrow morn
ing to inspect the jute mill at the state
penitentiary have been arranged by
Major A. N. Brown, secretary to Gov
ernor Mead and Secretary Moore of
the Commercial club.
1t was largely through Governor
Mead that the Oregon legislators ac-
copied an invitation to inspect the jute
mill and Major Brown, as personal
of the governor, arrived
this morning from Spokane to ar
range the details of showing the visi-
tors through the prison.
The excursionists will arrive in two
special cars attached to the Spokane
flyer at so returning to weston on
the freight which will be held until
1870.
Owing to the short time the excur-
sionists will be in Walla Walla it is
highly improbable that any attempt
will be made to formally entertain the
visitors except to give them a drive
about the city.
Governor Mead will arrive over the
Northern Pacific to meet the Oregon
men at the prison and if time per-
mits may entertain them at luncheon
at the warden's residence.
