Down with tin; factional lilT. rcn.-t

The. alitor of the rttur will confer n
favor by mentioning the time in Oregon's
history when the Kepublican party was
not rent by factions ami when partv
principles were paramount to spoils ami
office. Fact is that a long period of mis.
rule, graft and corruption is resiwtisiblc
for the present state of affairs. The
people saw no relief in aight, o lhe
voted fur any meatir they thought
would place direct power in the hand;'
of the voters to convct nine of the evils
their representatives refused or neglect
ed to abolish. The election of Vnitwl
States Senators from Oregon has at all
times been a matter of trade am) barter,
and lias leeu absolutely devoid of prin
ciple. Has the Oregon Legislature, for
the past twenty-live years, elected a
senator becau.-e of his fnncs for the
position and because of the principle of
the party he represented ? For ti greater
part of the time we have had an able
man, but who will pretend that he rep
resented any kind of a principle, or
that his election was the result of his
devotion to the tenets of the Republican
party ? It it not a fact that the Senators
from Oregon, tince the defeat of Ihilpli,
have been opportunists who either con
cealed their real sentiment or eagerly
adopted what they llieTed to be the
popular idea? Is it not also a fact that
under the old system from the packed
primary to the legislative caucus the
methods employed were notoriously
and openly corrupt? It was o plain
that none were deceived. The tog was
bought, either with cash r political
preferment, and vet cur friends who
oppose .Statement No. I talk blatantly
about the good old days when princi
ples were paramount to spoils and nff
ices. In those good ol I days they were
not even true to their corupt bargains,
and they took lesions from the lesser
thieves and practiced the "double cross"
upon their wealthy victim. Do you re
inemtier the holdup legislature, wiih all
Its disgraceful and .ircicsl surroundings,
when the pupil nut-peneraled the master
in the good old methods 7
Do yoo remember the Sirnon Lotan
primaries and the CorbetSimon sen
atorial contett? I)o you remember
when Senator McRride'a beneficiaries
betrayed hitn in ti.e interest of Senator
Mitcll-Il, to the crowning disgrace Of
the State? How and why wera mem
bers of the Legislature elected nnder
that good old system? Was it on ac
count of their fitrrietw. 'or because tlu-y
stood pledged to (heir constiluents for
the support of certain principles, or
was it because they had given their
pledge (and in some cases a written one)
to stand for the selfish aspirations if a
certain candidate? Really it is too
early to talk about the good old ways of
the Grand Old Tarty, J,et the people
have time to forget and tin stench to
float away.

of noupartisanship will fall from him. He will lake his j
proper place as an opponent of Republican measures, and,
long before his term expires, the people will have lire I ot j

Democrat to represent Oregon at the national capital. It is;
