Umatilla is Intensely Democratic. As
the result of years of Democratic rule
121 free and independent Democrats
issue a call ftr an independent conven
tion, cutting themselves loose from all
party obligations, In the hopes of thus
bettering their political condition.
They complain that 'through political
leaders, ana rings, compos ng mem
bers of the Democratic party, the agri
cultural, mechanical and laborine in
terests of Umatilla county have been
criminally neglected and outrageously
taxed, and the .'wilrv Ot the people
thwarted and shamefully disregarded,
the treasury depleted, and heavy obli
gations contracted in open disregard
of justice, economy and our constitu
tional rights." That during the last
ten years the tax levies of the county
have been from 24 to 32 mills on the
dollar. That the Sheriff's during that
time have made fortunes from salaries
altogether out of due proportion to the
services rendered, while the people
have been growing poorer and poorer.
The debt of the county foots up $40,-

Shocking Trajredy.
The Sacramento pa pera give acconnts
of a terrible tragedy that occurred tlie
day before at Dutch Flat from which
we condense as follows : Charles Cal
houn, a resident of Dutch Flat, became
aoritwluted with a young widow ot
that place about four months ago, and
immediately began paying his addres
ses to her with a view to marriage.
Hl9 addresses were discouraged by
the lady in question in every way,
and when the suitor made n formal
demand for Iter hand, he met wlh a
decided refusal. But Calhoun, undis
couraged, set to work with success to
induce the parents to intercede for him,
all the time continuing his attentions.
The persistence of the lover with the
aid of the parents at last overcome the
lady's oposition, but not her dislike,
and two weeks ago they were married.
A marriage under such circumstances
could not but be unhappy. Very soon
after tlie union the husband exhibited
jealousy toward his wife. The fires of
jealousy grew fiercer day by day. until
on the morning ot Saturday. February
2Stli. goaded to frenzy by the green-
eyed monster, Calhoun shot his wife
before she had risen from her bed, the
shot taking effect in her right eye,
which it destroyed, and inflicted a
wound which, if not mortal, is certainly
very serious. Having, as he supposed
killed his wife, the desperate man then
placed the pistol to his own head and
fired, killing himself instantly. Ills
remains were deposited In the grave
the next day.

From the Inception of the Republi
can party to the present time, its lead
ing feature has been its strict adher

ciples above men. For the principles
avouched hy this great party men have
considered neither position or life dear.
And this has made it the party of the
people, has given itpowerand strength
this lias made it conspicuous and
above all other parties and tbe people
have mined to it as the political organ-
laition formed for the public welfare
and determined to administer tlie re
sponsibilities entrusted to it with effi
ciency and ability. Another peculiar
merit of this great party is its power
ot self-renovation. If necessary to its
purity and its high mission of liberty.

leaders and part company with its
cherished organs. A party of princi
ples, it wan of tbe people and for the
people and by tbe people, and when
ever a scheme or leader or an organ
become too selfish for this broad pur
pose, its vigorous life parted frith the
perverted part as the tree drops the
dead leaf. What party has a record
of such saaifloeaiiral such accomplish
mentsa Union saved, slavery de

the press, and wlien charges against

more manifest that a vigorous honesty
