Resolution of Condolence by the 1.1 u
cola Republican Hub Other In
terestinft Sotes from Orvllle.
Okviiii, June 11. rolitics are quirting
down in this part of tlie county. I wonder
if Hie democrats can tell us the reason why.
Some of the democrats got very indignant
just before election because w told them
their party would come out behind in the
race. How Is it, boy didn't we tell it
about right? It always ys to stop and
figure; no matter whether in politics on in
any other business the same rule can be ap
plied. Lincoln republican club met last Friday
- evening to rejoice over the success of the
republican Tictorr in this slate and county.
The following resolutions of condolence
were adopted :
Whereas, It has pleased the Supreme
Ruler of the Universe to open the eyes and
ears of the people of Oregon, we hail with
profound glee the fact that we are called
upon to record the defeat and death of the
democratic party and its co-operatives, the
pops; and,
Whereas, In the demise of these parties
the republicans have achieved a victory
greater than was ever known before in Ore
gon ; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the rictors, will shout
the glad tidings of our Lord's elevation as
we would the second coining ol Christ
Resolved, That each member of this large
fraternity of ours shall publicly acknowl
edge to his neighbors and friends that a
great plague has been removed and stricken
from tins grand state of ours, and we again
bare prosperity staring us in the face.
Re&olved, That we extend to the families
of the bereaved our heartfelt sympathy and
condolence; and may our Lord in his wis
dom and mercy so shape their paths that
they may find relief from their ignorant
and corrupt teachings.
Resolved, That we will smother our true
feelings during the sad rites of the burial
services, but we will shout a terrible shout
when we see the last of our enemies in
terred. We will shoot crackers, send up
rockets, and perform sundry well-nigh im
possibilities in token of our glad jny. We
will drape the walls of our houses with the
Red, White and Blue in further token of our
aincerity.
Resolved, That we present the widows
and orphans with a copy of these resolu
tions, and that they be published in the
leading papers of the county, signed by the
committee.
