Secre tary Carlisle Is a candidate for the presidential nomination and tho pub lic announcement to that elTect will soon bo made bygone of the secretary's close friends In the semite: This announcement, however, will not be made until President Cleveland has formally stated his purpose not to permit his name to be used In the convention In connection with the third term. It Is learned on excell ent authority that the president has fully decided on his course , and. It Is expected he will make known his determination within a short time. Although Secretary Olney has been considered by Democratic leadors, It Is known he docs not desire a nohifna Uon. It Is undoubtedly true Carlisle's candidacy will have- the suppdrt of Mr. Clovcland and tho members of the cabinet. He will go before tho country as a representative of 'sound money views. .. ..i Ills friends In conducting thQ.pait, vass for his nomination will urgo that It bo mnde upon a sound money plat f 6rm and If ho bo successful at Chica go, will make this tho paramount lssuo In tho campaign leading up to tho November elections. Representative Patterson, of Tenn essee, has received from Mr. Carllslo a long letter In response to ex-Speaker Crisp's declaration that silver had received unfriendly treatment at tho secretary's hands. In the speech de livered In the house on tho 14th of February tho ex-speaker said: "He," meaning tho secretary of tho treasury, "refuses to give silver for gold because ho must hold tho silver to pay silver certltlcates and Sherman notes Issued under tho act of 1890 arc presented ho redeems them In gold and not In silver. What measure Is this? What sort of friendly treat ment Is accorded silver by this law and practlco that obtains nt the treasury of the United States?" Mr, Carllslo In his reply to tho letter written by Representative Patterson says: "In answor to your question I can only say that in all the operations In tho treasury department In my ad ministration of Its affairs, legal tender gold and silver certificates have been treated alike except that greater cf orts have been made to keep silver coin In circulation. Tho amount paid out for this department In silver coins and sliver certificates greatly exceeds the amount paid ont In gold coins and gold certificates, and In no Instance has tho least discrimination been made against sliver or Us paper repre sentative. "In no Instance has sllvcar or silver certificates been refused In payment of a debt or demand due tho govern ment and In no instance has the gov ernment refused to pay sliver coins or silver certificates In discharging Its obligations when the holders of obli gations demanded or requested such payment, When United States notes or treasury notes are presented for re demption, gold Is paid If It Is de manded and If sliver Is demanded It is paid. "Thus the coin of tho two metals aro treaieu exueuy uu&u m uiukmib payment by tho government as well as In the discharge of debts duo to tho government.

A Salem correspondent of tho Qre gonlati writes: "Republicans threw off tholr coats today and wont to work lu earnest to try to effect an under standing as to who shall bo scut as delegates from tho different wards and preclnctH. to tho county conven tion. It Is a herculean taHli, and a' largo vote at tho primary election, which will lo held In tho county n.oxt Friday, will bo the result. The long list of candidates for county offices, supplemented by congres sional candidates and candidates for district attorney, makes It Impossible to arrange any but an unpledged slate that will not meet formidable opposl tlon. Realizing this, xomo of tho political workers have started In to put up only unpledged tickets. Obstacles In tho way of carrying out this plan, however, aro found, as friends of some of tho candidates want no delegates who will not go to tho convention pledged. The situ ation Is as yet chaotic." It la now formally announced that that popular young Republican attor ney, J. If. McNary, has withdrawn or rather declined to permit tho use of Ills name as a possible candidate for tho position of district attorney. This leaves tho field open to but four candidates, viz: Jas. McCain, the present incumbent, his efficient deputy, A. 0. Condlt of this city, and that clcan-luinded young lighting at- KXTRAVAOANCE OF THE SENATE. Senator Chandler has been Investi gating tho senate's extravagances. Tho results of his researches mora than Justify nil Unit has been said In tho nowspaperson the subject. The senator finds that the roll of employes' of the senate has been growing until It has now reached the startling mi la bor of .153. Among theso are 121 clerks, 67 messengers, C2 laborers, 23 pages, 18 folders, 15 policemen, 7 mail carriers, 8 watchmen, and so on. The senate employes draw 482,000 annually. Tho striking feature Is tho rapid Increase In tho number of persons required to mako official life comfortable for tho nlnoty senators. This pay-roll was. $317,031 in 1687. It has been increased 9175,000 tn nlno years. The salaries and mileage of tho nlnoty senators Is $180,000 annually. So It appears that tho cost ot the help. Is a llttlo mora than' tho cost of the senators. Besides tho enormous sal ury account of tho employes the sena tors manago to got away with $175,- OOOaycarfor various Incidentals, or for "contingent expenses," as tho re port has It. Nino years ago tho son nto spent $157,232 for employes and on contingent account. In 1801 these ex penses reached $000,189. Last year tho senate had a Bpasm of economy, and got away with only $018,201, be sides salarlcb and mileage. These figures compiled by Senator Chandler show there arc about foiir'employcsto each sonator. "It must bo manifest," says Sona tor Chandler, "upon tho briefest pos sible consideration given to tho sub ject, that tho force Is excessive and extravagant. "Deduct from tho 121 clerkH and ninety secretaries of sena tors and there remain thlrty-ouo clerks, Theso might not lie in excess If it woro not for tho targd additional forco described lu tho lint. What aro fifty-seven messengers and fifty-two laborers doing? Itcanuot bo potxtlblo that they aro all usefully employed, giving full 6crvlco for themonoy re ceived by them. "Into tho details of the expendi tures of tho senate, which have grown so cnormoiuly, I havo not been able to go. Thoso details should bo Investi gated with a view te tho dismissal of every surplus cmployo and the omis sion hereafter of every needless ex penditure. It is Impossible that the public service required BUchVoHtlays. Tho senate wing of tho Capltol Is kept In repair by tho architect and guarded by tho Capltol police. For tho comfort within the senate wing of the ninety senators and to enable them to perform their functions it cannot bo possible that 358 officers und employes, ut an annual salary of $482,000, are necessary, and In addi tion other expenses amounting to $105,000. There Is fault In some ene: I do not know whom, There Is ex- torney of Oregon's capital, John A. trnyuganco wmowhere; I do not pre Carson. J. Russell Wyatt, of Albany, tend to know exactly In what place," Highest of all in Leavening Power. -Latest U.S.Gov'1 Report $m Baking rowoer LM3 AM&WTEK.Y PtJWE i
