there Ii as deep an interest IN this
subject, broadcast here, as this IN
telligent seeker. himself, feels IN the
premise. The gentleman was IN no
wise reticent and unbosomed himself
to the following effect:
"To my surprise ! found, upon
casual inquiry. that there were exact.
ly 23 candidates for the United
Senate In, and OF, the city Of
Portland: and this impressed me with
the conviction that Portland was com
mitted to the policy OF holding the
representation from this State in the
upper house exclusively within her
own bounds, an impression that was
crystalized into righteous conviction
before ! left there.
"As the Portland proposition is
now framed up, the 'unholy rs, as
they are dubbed up there, are pledged

namely, the election OF one Of their
group TO the Senate at Washington,
and the obliteration OF Statement No

"Jack Matthews has been hailed back
from the fastnesses Of his long re-
tirement, reinforced with brand new
suit OF togs and clean shave, and is
in charge OF the propaganda; and as
consequence OF the new assignment
he has ehuckcd all his old alliance:
and is as busy as 10 men around the
Imperial Hotel lobby, button-holins
every man that looks as II he needet

that may qualify him as an adhercn

"The fact that Mr.. Matthews is tax

lagous to Statement No !, leaves, o
course, the incontestable inference
that that gentleman will be a candi
