Oregon election and its lesson
The complete returns from the Oregon election are not in but the margin shifts show a major drop in Republican lead. The Democrats failed to adopt a free silver plank, aiding the People's party rise as Gov Pennoyer advised disciplined silver Democrats and Republicans to unite. In Coos and Josephine counties the People’s party crossed, winning several offices and a legislator in Josephine, while Coos saw a clean sweep except for the Assessor. Hermann's county loss reflects rising reform sentiment and calls for state and national fiscal reform to align with popular will.
