RISP oF4ICA ET ELECTED.
Hardly Any Doubt as to Success of All
 But Hearst.

New York, Nov S.--With the official vote of but three counties missing to- night, Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler appar- entity is elected lieutenant-goyernor on the cratic-independenee league ticket by plurality approximating 1,700 votes over M. Linn Bruce, repub- lican.
 While slight changes may be made in the returns from several counties, it is not believed they will materially re- duce Chanlers lead, but, on the con- trary, may increase it.
 At republican headquarters Chairman Woodruff was not prepared to give out any statement, but it was stated that the official canvass of the vote of the city of Greater New York may show enough changes in favor of Bruce to overcome Chanler's apparent lead at this time.
 It appears late tonight that all the other candidates on the democratic state ticket are elected by small but safe pluralities.

INSULTING TO 0N.NATIvES.

The Portland Journal, with its nor
NAL perspicacity, and no more, proceeds
to the undoing of James Withycombe,
Republican candidate for the governor
ship of the State of Oregon, upon the
ground that he is foreign-born and did
not take out his final papers in ma
turalization until he was "a years of
age and after a residence in the coun-
try of seventeen years. Shades of old
Plymouth! What an offense! And
what a case of retching for reasons is
here
The predicate laid by the Journal is
a deliberate insult to every citizen of
foreign birth in the land and will be so
considered by everyone who reads the
laborel article. 1t is proof positive of
the paucity of the Democratic "stone.
pile" that such dribble as this is per-
mitted to be written to the discredit of
a paper Of such pretension.
That James Withycombe came to
America from the very ground the ma
tion's fathers hailed from, Plymouth,
England), lad of II years and worked
through his educational years and into
his normal manhood, learning all he
might of the laws and customs and
obligations that apply to good citizen
ship, before he broached the primal gift
of the land and then at 20 years of
age, in the very glow of his early man.
hood, with a distinct understanding of
all that naturalization meant and i'm
posed, fled his declaration of intention
and five years later took on the bur-
dens and privileges of the highest es
tate in the known world, is the meat
and merit of the Democratic howl rails
ed in this instance. And the reflection
reaches infinitely farther than James
Withycombe; it is slap in the face to
every naturalzed citizen in the coun-
try; and here in Astoria it is peculiarly
offensive where the foreign born citizen
is on an equal numerical footing with
his native born colleague. If this is
the limit of reproach that attaches to
. the head and front of Republican party
and spirit in this State, then we have
but little to deplore and less to fear in
June.

That it comprehended no political
distinctions in its earlier and its clean
er ideals;
That its original program has been
long fulfilled and its best and highest
purposes long since attained;
That the Citizens movement in the
sense in which ii was organized, no
longer exists:
That il has become the vehicle for
the requirement of democratic pres
tige and place, for democrats
That its leadership and influence to-
day is absolutely and undeniably demo
cratic in every phase;
That the Citizens movement. as such,
is a thing of the past; and in its place
and masked in its name and character
the democrats of Astoria and Clatsop
county, are posing and electioneering
and doing the work of the local demo
cracy.
That il has spread from the city to
the county; the one infallible sign of
its departure from the its organic ira
ditions and objects;
That it has nothing of efficacy or
cleanliness or correction or progress. to
offer that is not embodied in the de-
mands and aspirations of the honest
Republicans of city and county.
That the Democrats have captured it
body and soul and that the proof of
this declaration lies in the names and
political status of the men now demoin'
ating it.
That, so far as the political campaign
in and of Clatsop county, is concerned,
the contest is squarely and openly and
actually by and between the Repubi-
can and Democratic forces as they exist
here, and no sophistry nor barking back
to other names or conditions will
change this living fact.
That nothing short of Democratic
chicanery would accomplish the transpo-
sition that has been effected; that it
has been wrought; that it is still work
ing overtime, and the man who votes
the alleged Citizens ticket on the 4th
of June next, is voting the straight, un.
adulterated Democratic ticket and moth
ing else.

Herbert's note in "Nimrod," volume 2,
page 81, says, "Kybelc Is the ark, and
as Cush was begotten in the ark his
posterity were in peculiar sense de-
scended from that ship" Although
Herbert makes no direct reference to
the fact Of Cush being actually born In
the ark, he speaks Of him In several
places as "Cush, the ark born" The
Talmudic writer's discredit the Bedwig
story, but declare that Cush was born
on the day that Gods covenant" the

THE FALSENESS OF IT ALL.

The Evening Budget thrusts itself from
out its shell just long enough to emit a
labored, and oft-repeated lat infinitely
long intervals), declaration of the
beautiful and harmonious program in
herent in the "Citizens" movement
here.
There are others who know some
thing of the "Citizens'" cult in this
mans town, and amoung the trenchant
bits of acquired information are the
following cold and pointed facts.
That the original Citizens movement
was purely a municipal movement
