HE VET. In view of the fact that a uemovia has not been sent to congress within at least 80 years, and possibly longer, we called up several leading members of the party and without looking up their ancient histories they could not tell In what decade It was, or who the man was. One gentleman thought it was Whlttaker, and we believe he Is correct. It seems that the -opposition to statement No. 1 by a few of the republicans on the ground that they might be compelled to vote for a dem ocratic United States senator Is not well founded. There Is not the least fear, gentlemen, of such a contingen cy, and if In a . state' like Oregon which is credited with a republican majority of anywhere from 26.000 to 40,000, a democrat should receive a plurality, -the way the natural drift of public opinion towards popular government Is Increasing, there is a mighty poor argument that could be put up to Justify any representative in not voting for him.
