Chamberlain or Fornish Which Will Oregon Choose
The piece contrasts George K. Chamberlain and W J Furnish for Oregon governor. It recalls Chamberlain’s hardship losses during the 1893 panic and Furnish’s rise via official fees, framing a stark choice between a poor man and a rich man tied to fee hunting and patronage. It cites county and federal posts and questions the electorate’s verdict. It also includes a short aside on actresses and dress signaling character in stage roles.
