HENRY W AR R EN . W hat H is H om e Paper H as to Say About H im . The Republican Convention, like the m ountain, “ has labored and broughtforth a mouse.” Henry Warren is the nom i nee, the lamb that is to be slaughtered on the 25th of October. W e have heretofore expressed our opin ion of him as a Congressional candidate. We do not impugn his integrity; but we certainly deny that he is fit person to rep resent any constituency in Congress. Mr. Warren is about fifty years of age, and has been in office about seventeen years. He was sheriff of this county six years; a representative in the .lower House o f the Legislature two years and Receiver in the ■ Land Office at Oregon City about nine years. So that he has had a long pull at the public teat and m ay be properly re garded as a chronic office seeker, one who cannot prosper without drawing his sub sistence from the public treasury. The fact that he was four times elected to office by the people of this county is not indicative of any great popularty, be cause the Republicans during that time had an overwhelming majority in this county, and always elected their entire ticket by very large majorities. The peo ple tnink that they have ¿one enough for him and they will not now com m it the superlative blunder of electing him to a po sition which he is not qualified to fill.— lie has a very defective education, and when he was first elected Sheriff he could not write a sentence gram m atically.— W hen in the Legislature in 1864 he was a mere dum m y, and was afraid to open his mouth lest he would betray his igno rance. And to-day he cannot m ake a public speech or express his views in a public audience with any facility. The Bulletin says he w ill m ake an “ effective canvass.” If he m akes any canvass it m ay be effective in losing him hundreds of votes in each county. The Republican party is hard up when it places before the people, for Congress, such asjjmau as W ar ren. Imagine him in Congress in the presence of such men as A lex. H. Steph ens, M. C. Kerr , Sunset Cox and others, debating some matter in which Oregon is deeply interested, and you have a picture o f a pigm y contending with giants. The people will never subm it to the dis grace of electing Warren to Congress. The Republicans have com m itted a great er ror m placing him before the people. W e ask the people to try Warren by the Jef fersonian test. “ Is he honest, is he capa ble.” He m ay pass the first question but be can not com e up to the second. He is not capable. He is destined to be con signed to oblivion along with honest HI. Sm ith. Their qualifications are the same.—Lafayette Courier. IN A MAD F IX . The Oregon City Enterprise, says ever since the Oregonian passed into the hands of H ill & Co., that Radical faction have tried to beat the office-holders by a bush whacking course on the outside, and the Ring has always managed to get away with the outs. The Reading editorial in last Thursday’ s Oregonian puts us in m ind of an old story which w ill bear re peating here. In a certain county in K en tu cky, where the W hig party had but a few followers, they tried for a number of years to defeat the Democrats. Finally, after trying again and again to defeat their opponents, the whigs were called to gether for consultation, and after much discussion as to the course to pursue to defeat the Democrats, no definite plan could be reached. Out of the half a dozen that were present, a committee was ap pointed to report at a subsequent m eet ing the best means to take in the ap proaching; cam paign. This com m ittee reported the follow ing day, and was in substance about as follow s: Gentlemen, your ¡com m ittee have concluded that there is but one w ay of defeating the De m ocracy, and that is to join them , and we reccom m end that the W higs vote the Democratic ticket at the rext election.— Now this is about the case with H ill. He has not been able to defeat the office holders and they have refused to divide with him so, in order to defeat them , he has gone over and join ed the party. I f that don’ t beat them there is no use for Democrats to “ kick against the pricks” an y longer. The editorials in the Oregon ian of Thursday, Friday and Saturday have not been quoted by any of our R adi cal friends as good election documents for Mr. Warren and by m any it has been as serted that H ill had joined the Radical party for the same purpose that the K en tucky W higs did the Democracy. It looks so. Subscribe for the B edrock at £1 per year. D em oceat NO I S E TO PROTEST. The lady assented.

His name was the of support’., ’ property of-the Radical Convention, and 'The Chicago InteP-Ocean has the follow whatever sin that Convention com m itted ing: A very sad and touching circumstance can only be reached now by voting against occurred last evening. Perhaps few among Mr. W arren.

OREGON W A K IN G I P . The Owyhee Avalanche truthfully says: An effort is being made at Portland, Ore gon, looking to th e'bu ild in g of a m anu factory for turning out boots, shoes and leather. Those engaged in the project furnish some very good reasons on behalf of the necessity of the enterprise and its paying prospects. They say that hides are very cheap in that State; that large quantities are annually exported there from, and returned in leather in a raw or manufactured state, transportation being required to be paid both ways. A ll the profit of manufactering boots and shoes are enjoyed by others at their expe»se.— The natural facilities for running such an enterprise are as good there as elsewhere, and in consequence of the absence of such works many persons are idle and are forced to leave the State and get em ploy m ent elsewhere. More than a m illion dollars worth of boots and shoes are an nually imported into the State, and by com bining the capital and skill requisite for such an enterprise this m oney would be saved to the State, and work given to the unemployed. The Oregonian gives the project a hearty support and speaks very enconragingly of its prospects, and the necessity for its speedy eonsumation. Operations o f W om an Suffrage in W yom in g. According to a Laramie paper, woman suffrage works adm irably there. It says: There never was a term of Court held there in a decent and comfortable place, and with decency and decorum, until the ladies were summoned to participate in it. There never was a Grand Jury that investigated offences against decency and m orality until Grand Juries were com posed in part of wom en. There was hard ly a criminal punished until women took part in trial juries; and there never was an election without drunkenness, fight ing and bloodshed until the wives, m oth ers, sisters and daughters were permitted to accom pany the men to the polls; while now the elections go off as quietly as any other social gathering, no matter how heated a political campaign may be, or how important the issues at stake. G re n e ra l C o lle c to r . C alifornia E lection — The election takes place in California today. There is scareeiy any doubt but what the Democracy will car ry the State, by a large majority. C. T. I vyland , who has been stumping the State of California for, Irwin, estimates the total vote at 115,000, and uivides it thus: Irwin, 55,000; Phelps, 35,000; Bidwell, 25,000. It is now generally admitted on all sides that outside of San Erancisco Bidwell is third in the race, but he will probably succeed in electing the Democratic candidate. ---------- ;----;--- J. M.

Their Agencies at Virginia City and Gold Hill were nobbed to close with ail haste. Later—4 p. m . —On account of the failure o f the Bm k of California the ¡Stock Boards have adjourned until called together by the Executive Committees. Caliiornia Street is the scene of the most iuteuse excitement. It is literally jammed with a solid living mass. The exact loss is not known, but it is estimat- at millions. A run on the other banks is now going on, and it is impossible to even guess at the result.' The stock market has entire ly collapsed, and there is no demand what ever. All orders due in the Stcok Board to day will be due on the day after the Board meets again. It is said by supporters of S. S. Cox for the Speakership, that Mr* Blaine virtually threw the office into the hands of Mr. Randall, by recognizing him on thqfloor of the House m preference to any other member, during the light on the Force bill.
