Harding T. Grover. j
Take the statements made by L. F.
Grover, Democratic candidate for Gover
nor, in his speech here last week, in re
lation to ChinameD, and hla balderdash
about paying off the bonded debt in
greenbacks, and contrast them -with the
position taken on these same questions by
B. F. llarding, Democratic candidate for
State Senator from Marion county. In
a recent speech Ben. F. Harding said:
Tbo questiou of Chinese citizenship was not and
could cot bo made an issue in this campaign, and
ho doubted very much whether it would ever seri
ously divide the people of this coast. Both par
tics wcro alike opposed to it. Besides, he said
there wag no probability that the Chinaman would
over ask to become a citizen, and if be did he
could not under our naturalization laws. Speak
inir ot the late treaty with the Chinese Empire, he
said the object and end of that treaty, like the for
mer treaties, was to extend and enlarge onr com
merce with that nation ; that it secured to us com
mercial advantages that we never enjoyed before,
and that this nation, and the people 01 this coast
in particular, could not afford to lose the trade and
commerce of that great Empire. Ho showed that
our principal commerce in the future must be with
those Asiatic nations, and li-om whom wc would
derive our commercial greatness.
On tho question of the payment of the national
d?bt, he said there ws now po other way of pay-
: 3g that debt except in coin, since the recent fle
ction of tho Supreme Coart made coin the only
'3-a1. tender; that we had to pay it dollar for dollar
iaco 1, and that all t-.'k about paying it any other
way was twad i'e. ' The repeal of the 14th and
15,"h Amendments was sin; j't nu impossibility, he
said. He differed with the lpublican party on
questions of tariff and the administration of tho
affairs of this State.
Harding sa3's that all talk of paying
the public debt in anything else than
coin is twaddle J He shows that the
prophecy of Grover, that Chinamen would
overrun and prove the destruction of this
country in a few years, ia about as fool
ish a piece of election clap-trap as was
ever uttered in anv canvass. How long
has it been since this same U rover was
contemplating the employment of China
men, to the exclusion of white operatives,
in the Salem factory presided over by
him ? And bow comes it that it has on
ly been made apparent since his nomina
tion for Governor, that Chinamen, through
the Burlingame treaty, were to be the
destruction of this Government in a few
years ? Judged from B. F. Harding's
standpoint, Grover ia a mere political
trickster, unworthy the suffrages of the
"That's What's the Matter."
It was left to the Jacksonville News, a
bedrock Democratic journal, to make
known the real cause of the S. R. Demo
crat's disaffection towards the Democracy
of Oregon. The attempt of the Democrat
to give the platform adopted by the party
a different signification or interpretation
from that originally given it by all the
leaders, journals, and the great majority
of the delegates in the State Convention, I
can be considered in no other light than '
as an attempt to distract and confuse the
members of the party, and thus cause it
to be easily defeated by the Republican
party. The Hews still believes in, and
openly and fearlessly advocates, the orig
inal interpretation of the 8th resolution,
and administers a stinging rebuke to
those journals who first proclaimed them
selves in favor of repudiation and "com
pulsory disgorgement," and, later. lacking
the necessary sand, "went back" on their
previous declarations. A paragraph taken
from the iVcic of week before last, not
only defends Mr. Fay from the attacks of
the Democrat, and proves what we have
a'.l a't 3 asserted in relation to tho ms-
jority of the i nvention being in favor of
repudiation, but gives the "secret of Mr.
Bellinger's patriotic indignation " toward
the Democracy of Oregon : -
The Albany Democrat appears to be wonderfully
exercised over Mr. Fay's letter to the Portland
ratification meeting ; and is quite severe in its de
nunciations of the author. The secret of Mr. Bel
linger's patriotic; indignation lies in the fact that
Mr? Fay cast tbe ten votes he held in the Albany
Contention against Mr. Bellinger's partner, Mr.
"ilj V. Brown, thereby defeating him for tbe nom
ination for State Printer, and nominating T. Pat
terson. The "head and front of Mr. Fay's
offending hath this extent no more." So far

The Albany Democrat as good as says
the Fay letter, which-the Herald pub-'
lished, was a forgery ; therefore, by indi
rection, it says the editor of the Herald
is guilty of that grave crime. The Salem
Press says any man is a " villain " who
charges that the 8th resolution of the
Albany platform"" means Repudiation ;
therefore, as Col. Kelly, Mr. Slater, Mr.
Fav, Judge Thayer, Judge McArthur,
the editor of the Herald, and other lead
ing men of the Albany platform party,
have emphatically declared that the res
olution docs mean repudiation, they are,
according to tho lress, just so many vil
lians The Mercury and Press and Her
ald stigmatize all who have left the Dem
ocratic party as " traitors ;" therefore as
Mr. Grover himself bolted, and, as leader
of other bolters from Marion, Polk, and

Col. Shiel, the - regularlyclected Demo

Prosecuting Attorney. And. we could

Influence over Animals. The
horse is like his driver, and the dog like
his master. A nervous, timorous man
is almost sure to have a skittish horse,
shying at anything, unsteady, and a run
away if he can get a chance. Many a
cow is spoiled for want of patience and
quickness in the milker, and the amount
of milk depends more upon the milker
than the pasturage. If a man is afraid of
ahorse the animal knows it before he
goes in the stable. We have seen the
most inoffensive cow in the herd . so
wrought upon by the' nervousness of a
greenhorn son of Erin, as. to dexterously
plant her foot in his breast and send him
heels over head. A noisy, boisterous fel

serious loss in gain of flesh to animals.

in favor of Grover only, and will not

the effort to elect any one else on the
ticket. This is in perfect keeping with
the past record of the man. Wrapped
up in self, he can see no good in using
his influence or , means in advancing the
interest or preferment of anybody but
Grover. t All that money and downright
knavery can accomplish will be attempted
by Grover and his satellites to secure the
Governorship, but all will fail. Grover
