Koiv Conouxss, HON. R. WILLIAMS, of Multnomah county. ." FoK I'EKSItlESTIAl. Kl-Ef.TO!t., V. 11. 01EL1 of Lnnc county. -J. W. WATTS, of Yamhill county. -i. C. CAUTWRlUHT, of Wascocomnj , LOOK AT HOME. The Democratic press and speakers are fond of charging corruption and .mismanagement upon the Ropnb'ican party : and no matter how often the chargos are refuted, a charge once made j by them is clung to and re-printed and ; reiterated from one end of the Union to the other, the Democratic party always adhering to tho idea that a lie well i-tuck to is as good as the truth. Iut while the Democracy have always, been willing and even over-anxious to charge corruption upon their opponents, they have never been willing to acknowledge, much less publish, the rascality with which its whole history teems. IJight here at borne Democratic journals have 'always shown a "desire to charge the Republican patty with all kinds of vil lainy, claiming that the Democratic "arty is the only party of principle and ipurity. Yet -when we come to examine be Tecords, we find the State of Oregon indebted in the sum of over one annum j of dollars! Upon the incoming of the t rover administration, only six years i ago, the State was comparatively out of debt, and now, after but six years of Grover, tlie debt of the State amounts -to tho enormous sum of Sl.OlS ! as (estimated by the Portland Bee. And this enormous debt has not only been created under a pure Itemocratic ad. ministration, but has been created ille gally, iu direct violation of the State Constitution. Section 7 of article 11 provides that : " The Legislative Assemby sha'l not j loan the credit of the State, nor in any j manner create any debts or liabilities j -which shall singly or in the aggregate, j with previous debts or liabilities, exceed the sum of fifty thousand dollars, ex- j cept in case of war, or to repel invasion, or to suppress insurrection. And every -contract of indebtedness entered into or assumed by or on behalf of tho State, when all its liabilities and debts amount to said sum, shall be void and of no effect." Do the people of Oregon desire this , "kind of pure and honest Democracy ? They will soon be called upon to pay this enormous debt, and then they will begin to ee and feel what is meant by " purity aud honesty in governmental affairs " as practiced by the Democracy- ; ' ' " , ; 4;reitne in TrlbulnUon. The Democracy seem to be in more than usnal trouble in fact these are troublous times for Democracy. All kinds of reports come from Washington in regard to the great Western Sphinx, Mr. Heed ricks. One day we are in formed that lie has quarre'ed with Til den; the next.it is denied. Next that he will refuse to run-on tho same ticket with Tilden ; next tliat he has not so refused. One day that he wiil write a letter defining himself on tho financial question; next that he will do no such thing. And we are left iu doulrtas to the actual facts in the case, but have uo doubt that Hendricks finds himself in a situation that he sometimes most always can't frequently , know himself which of the boys he is soft or hard. If Hen dricks is really doubtful about accept ing the empty honors of a. nomination at the bands ot the Democracy, let him Eing out at once. Olebillalien is left. The fact is, neither Tilden nor Hen dricks has accepted the nomination at least no letter of acceptance has been published and the Democracy is still rn suspense as to whether either pf these " great, lights " deem it worth their time and money " to -go before the people and ask their votes, since Hayes and .Wheeler's nomination.. The Cincinnati Enquirer t the leading organ of the Democracy-in Ohio, and a paper of high national reputation in that delectable party has the following in reference to Tilden's nomination : Tlie kid-glove Democracy, of which Tilden is the chief, - have s not the confidence, and cannot obtain the votes- of t lie masses. Ilia - nomination will disrupt and ' disorganize the Democratic party. It means dcbat ' -.- - Tha rsducUou of the- national debt during the month of June amounted to &r,S8 1.377. - Metaphorlml. The following touching piece of . met aphor is found in the Democratic plat form. It ought to cause tears to flow from an iron statue, and Tammany Hall to be deluged by the tears of its innocent followers : u Reform is necessary to rebuild and establish in the licarts of the whole people the Union, eleven years ago hap pily rescued from the danger of a cor rupt centralism, which, after inflicting upon . ten States the carpet-bag tyran nies, has honeycombed the offices of the j Federal Governruert itself with h:ca ; pacity, waste and fraud, infected States and municipalities with the contagion of misrule, and locked fast the prosperi ty of an industrious people in the paral ysis of hard times." " Honeycombed the offices," etc., is good, but the "contagion of misrule" is a tiifie better, while the " paralysis of hard times," rises to the level of the sublime. Posh ! Just think of the sin scarred politicians of New York and St. Louis indulging in such ta'k, and sit ting in judgment over a party that made the Centennial year possible 1 Democratic Ri-hsnning. nation is in need of Th, therefore the nation is in need of De mocracy . The nation is burdened with a heavy debt ; therefore it should be saddled with Democracy. The nation is suffering from hard t uks ; --therefore it should accept De mocracy. The nation should have a better cur rency; therefore it should have Democ racy. pverybody should have all the mon ey they want ; therefore everybody should support 'Democracy. Kvery passing ill has its antidote, and this antidote is Democracy. I'ron a black spot in the civil service to a liolc in a man's hat the otdy remedy He in a dose of Democracy. We may Fi;fVer a few Mis as a people, but good men generally will pray that to these may not be added four years of Democ- racy. The West may have its grass hoppers, the East hard times, the South Ivu-klux, but all these combined in one plague could not equal the evil effects of a single term of Democracy. The Lord spare the land this severe afflic tion. Tilden's friends claim that lie carried his Slate in 1874 by 50,000 majority. His vote was 410,000 against 378,000, which gives him a majority of 38.0OO only. Last j-ear a majority of 14,810 is claimed for his ticket. His vote was 390,000 against 386,000, which gives him some 4,000 majority. It is well to state the figures accurately, a they take down the lofty pretension of Governor Tilden's popularity, and show that he has fallen far short of his claims to pub lic -confidence. He will find that a rev olution has taken place since it was seen that he wore only, a mask of reform, and that New York is good for 50,000 against him, of which Kings county wll furnish 10,000. A Reversible Ticket. Hero we have a platform for the millions! Hard money or soft money; greenbacks or gold; resumption and anti-resumption; free schools as you like them; the whole world invited to our shores, and good will expressed for everybody, except the Chinese. All in one platform, and that Democratic. Tilden the head and Hen dricks the tail, tlve only reversible ticket that has been put in the field. Doth ends are calculated to suit any aud all tastes. Anything to beat the Republi can partv! If this reversible ticket fails, then, indeed, the star oi Dcai'-craey goes down forever. Tn5 Nw Orleans Bulletin (Dem.) is disgusted with the performances of the St. Louis Convention. It says: "A party that has not the courage to an nounce a single emphatic conviction, or that has none to declare, is it. capable of aggression, and stands confessed as noth ing more than a mere organized com munion, whose sole purpose is to get offices, 'which they propose to fill in an indefinite sort of way." This was the editorially expressed opinion of the Memphis .Avalanche, on Tuesday morning: ' "Tilden is a sham reformer, and the canvass in his behalf has for its basis misrepresentation, deceit and Ira id." We shall be curious to see whether these views havo undergone revision since his nomination. , . : Fays the : A lbany, N. Y , Journal : The Democratic platform is not a decla ration of principles, but a stump speech; jjot a clear enunciation of a definite pol icy, but a string of false -and reckless as sertions, garnished with alt tho verbone rhetoric and glitterin" ' utterances, of a campaign ranter . t. Samuel J. Tilden is in his 73d year, a bachelor,, 5 -feet 10- inchesr hij;ht weighs more than the Dernociaey can carry, and has grizzly gray hair and blue eyes, 's ,.' THE TWO TICKETS. Both tickets are in the field and the people can now make choice between them. Doth parties have put forward their best men. The issue therefore will not le on the men selected, but on the principles they represent. Hayes repre sents an element that was true during the war. Tilden an element that was untrue to the country. The one went to the field to save the Republic. The j other staid a; home and by voice -ana ; example discouraged enlistments. 1 he one represents the v'ntue and intelligence of the country. The other its vice and ignorance. Tho one belongs to the pro gressive element. The other to the ele ment that would retard and destroy. Hayes has proven his fidelity to the na tion. Tilden has nothing but empty promises to 'rely upon. The first is a true reformer, the ialter a pretender, who could not if he would bring about reform. The abuses which have grown ip in New York under lifs rule prove this. Gen. Crook appears to be doing his ; usual eood "vork. I.earnin-j that some ; eight h oud red Choycrines were on their way to join fitting Dull, he made a forced tnareh of seventy-five miles in thirty-five hours and fell upon the In dians like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.

" j fore tlie Presidential election nt Ncvem- The Cincinnati JCnquirer, the; lead ing Democratic 'paper in Ohio, didn't want Tilden nominated, but on the con trary proved him a swindler, railroad jobber, trieks-ter, deceiver, etc. Yet the St. Louis convent! n pronounced him their sty'e of man. The TLiiquirer, While acquiescing in the nomination ! "mcr s.icceeueu oy ,.,, rams, ,s, y er - , . , ., . 1 haps the cause of the diseased coiiui- says that what it hr.s said against I uden j ,iuI1 ot our jH)taU)CS hu eariv iu ti,e "Tnnsl stand; ava that it il-a arguments' in opposition to his uotuiua&ion "now serve the enemy, we fill can't help it." - -- " j , The Steuoenvil c Gazt t.tc, a life-long . Democratic paper, bolt the nomination j of Tilden. It says : As Cr Mr. lilden, we have Sequent- ly saiit that it tie was iurmnalei we woHld not jrive linn or supiHirt, a now that he has liocn chosen as the "Democratic" candidate for President, we dec'are freely and unequivocal y that unless something lieyond our pres ent knowledge conspires to change our opinion of tlie man and position, we will do nothing whatever to further his election. We do not now consider him a Democrat, for no Democrat wosW have used his influence and money to defea the election ot Wm. Allen to the Governorship of 'Ohio, as did Mr. Til den last year John Morrissey, Tilden's chief fugle man at St. Louis, is announced as the projector of a new Democratic paper at Washington . Yoacan't most always tell now who isn't going to start a new p.ijxr. It mainly requires "cheek" to go in, but it is Providentially arranged that there is a hereafter. The Brooklyn Argiis throws this lit tle ray of light on the strength of Tilden in his own State : The Argus would like to support an honest Democrat, as against Governor Hayes, but as between Gc venior Hayes aud Samuel J, Tilden. there is not an independent paper in the Slate of New York that will not sup port Hayes as a matter of patriotic duty. ' . t ; Horace Greeley knew very well that during tho Tweed regime, during which Samuel J- Tilden was chaiiman of tho Democratic state central committee; of New York, extensive election frauds were ronstautlv practiced uithat. .state. In lSGS Mr. Greeley wrote an open let ter to Tilden. calling his attention to this fact, advising him that if these frauds were cotinued the people, would hold him resjtonsible, and appealing to h!m fir an honest vote in the cry of New York at the pending election. The only reply made was that,' at the election that fall, the Republicans were swindled out ot the majority , vote of that state by Tilden and his associates. Hoffman was counted in as governor against Griswold who was real y elect ed; and the electoral vote of the state was given to Seymour, when it honest ly belonged to; --General Grant. '-The truth of this statement has been demon strated by some of the parties who par ticipated in the fraud. In the letter re ferred to, Mr. Greeley informed Tilden that one word from him in favor of hot est elections; would bo respected by every Democrat ; in ; New, York city. But that word was never spoken. Mr. R. IT.' Carter," well known at Boise and elsewhere as a mining super intendent, died rather suddenly in Silver City about half-past -ten o'clock Mon day morning the 10th inst. ' His disease was congestion of the brain. . ; ' The Iblic fJoop.--It is said that Tilden has an eye single to tlwa public goodi The other eye is retained for .he benefit, of Samuel, the reformer ? . . Food lor Reflection. The country has crossed the thresh hold of and is tow entering upon its second century. Throughout the land I rejoicing is the order of the day North, South, East and West, the people have uttered words of devotion and gratitude. Is it not a "thought worthy of special prominence that, the "Nation lives to day through the patriotism aud wisdom 0f the Hepubfican party? Is not the ConrIiotIig and irrecoiicifabTe yiews of the leaders of the opposition, equally suggestive of their incompetency and lack of wisdom? Most assuredly this centennial year the great American people cannot afford to give the control of the government into the hands of men whobut a few short years ago, were themselves conspicuous in their efforts to destroy the nation. The Albany Journal, speaking of the much that is said of Mr. 'ritdeu's success and ower in accomplishing his objects, dee'aros that the simple truth is t hat he is successful when he is not ser;ousv opposed, aud never successful when lie is. A PxeTrEK. Morrissey and Kely shedding tears over official corruption and embracing each other for the public good is a picture worthy the pencil ot a Nast. Senator Thurman does not hesitate to say that the Republican Presidential ticket is a strong one. He declares that Hayes is a splendid man, and that his reputation is without flaw or stain.

It will be remembered that at the tonl1 t,f Court, in one of thetli- voree suUs cntule,I Crout vs. Cront, the . uj v.r e(1 ,,,at sli(J was oltitlol to a jivolve on ,ie. rrr.mlHls that Crout I J didn't pet her enough; that Crout did not buzz the requisite amount of sweet ness ii.to her ear, nor shed tlie required number of beaming smiles onto her which her dinging fondness seemed to demand; and that Crou was morose, or, in other words, "he wa's a sour front," and so she soured on him. Dut with the blooming of the cactus and the sighing of the mountain zephyr, came the true knight for whom Mrs. Crout had sighed. He was poor but honest, withal he had a place in his heart for Mrs. Crout, and a raging hun ger in h'm pocket fvf the contributions of his friends. Ilis name was Cameron. And according to the tale of Cameron, some of the noblest Uood of Sco1 land circulated through his oa-pillaries in the projrtiou of eight parts Highland blood to n"u!Ctv-two parts of very poor whiskey, or, to put iC practiea-Hy, the the boss blood of bonny Scotland" was "comin' thro' the rye." Hut in an evil hour he skipped. His views were b'ood; he conld not brook the narrow limits of Laramio So one bright May morning he bounded lightly into the train, and, gent'y putting his thumb upon his ruddy nose as a parting sa uto to lus friends wtio taa generous ly contributed toward paying tor lus hash and whisky straights, he hied himself awav to other fields. Hut after awhile he came back , lledidn't really want to, but he Ukjk the ad dee of the Sheriff aud came back. Tlie t ity Clerk tho City Marshal, the Prosecuting At tomey, the Sheriff, and quite a large number ot citizens, got up a grand meeting. for him at the City Hall. I Ion. N . L. Andrews made some very ap propriate remarks, and was then fol lowed by Hon. C. W Uraniel and others. Then tho occasion seemed to require that Mr. Cameron shon!d make some acknowledgement of this attention. He rose with evident-emotiou and said "Not guiity." Although not very loquacious, he seemed to fully appreci ate tlie kindness manifested toward him, more especially when he became the guest of Sheriff Brophy for the remain der of his slay in tlra city, i : But, to cut a long story short, Mr. C, on a wril of habeas corpus, once more became a free American cit zen, without a mother-in-law, So he went with his grief to Mrs, Crout. -And did Mrs. Crout look upon him coldly ? Not by a bushel and a halt. The fel low who took her to be a cold Crout didn't know the party in question. She smashed the off rim of her new spring hat on his shoulder and cried till the paper collar of Cameron hung around his neck like a wet bandage on a sore toe . --." :- : .

How Jones Siccurrd the Repect of Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Jones was standing in her back yard feeding the chickens, when Stone wall Jackson came running in, crying as though his heart would break, and told her that 15ill Brown had slapped him , for nothing. -..Mrs. Jones never said -a' word, but she grit her teeth hard and went into the house to cut cabbage, and elopied il so tii.e, thinking it was Bid Brown's -head, that ' you might have sifted it through a cob-web. While Jones sat eating his dinner that evening, Mrs. Jones told oi the outrage that had been committed, and asked him what he was going to do about it. Jot es, pondered Bill Brown was fullv 21 years old, a shining light in the Fire Department, pitcher in a base-ball club, and had the genera! reputation among experts of being "a good man." After considering these things carefully, Jones carne to the conclusion that, the best course to pursue was "to treat Brown with silent contempt," and so he told his wife, adding, by way of parenthesis, "My dear, such cattle are beneath . our notice." "All right, Mr. Jones,' said Mrs. Jones, "if your not man enough to pro tect 3'our family, thank God! I've got a brother," and she swept trowr the room with a lool that Jones knew only too well. He had seen that same look on his wife's face once before, when he 'brought a fiiend home to dinner on washing day, and he knew it meant war. '1 here was no help tor it; it flash ed upon Jones with the swiftness ol lightning; there would be no peace in the Joi.es fauii y until the insult ot the morning had been wiped out with blood. 'I hat night the boys were all sitting in a neighboring Ijcer saloon, aud the genial proprietor was telling them what he won d do if he got the uominalion tor Alderman. The gentleman, whom we will call Mike, because that was net his name, was an ex-prize fighter, could barely wvite his name, and wars in many other respects especial y qualified for an Alderman. He kept good beer, and offered it with that lavish lilerality and recklessness of expenditure ibr which Vicksburg c id dates' are famous. Jones tame in, took his prorata of beer and sat uowu to meditate upon the Brown a-fi'air.- At last a happy idea seemed to strike him; he called for an other "shoo-ny," tii.d rubbed his hands and sls'pjicc hits knees in gleeful antici pation At lft-.t he said to Mike, with careless air, "Mike, is Bi.I Brown one ot your supjtortersV" 'You can ju t bet your tminkey lnnek on that," says MUe;. thcie'i a boy I do stand solid with." "That's strange." said Jones. What's strange?" sail! Mike with that uneasy, snspicious air so common to candidates. - uOh' ntnhing," said Jones mysteri ously; " I don't think I ought to tell." "Jones," ssid Mike, solemnly, "if you're a friend of aiine you'll tell." "Well, I will," snid Jones, "but you must kVt p it confidential " "AH right;, go ahead," said Mike anxrioiislv. "Wclf, raid Jones,' ''I just came from the ' "c:.lei n'al bai-r.om. and heard Br-'W';s:y !':;:it you did'iit know your head :ivn a shut-gun;- that he caught you .,.e day reading a newspa per upside down; that he'd sooner yote tor the lowest down nigger in the ware5 than v te for you, and that if you were elected, city scrip would go down to 5 cents on the dollar, and taxes go tip so high you coiddi't reach them with a ba. loon." . - .... , ' ; Mike put on his hat and coat, and t made a bee line for the Centennial bar room. Jcnes went home -and sat down on the front gallery, smoking his cigar with that peace of mind whiebonly one can know whose bosom is distended with the ppond eonsciouvnes8 of having done good at ion. . About half an hour .afterwards; he sa-id to his wife, who was sitting inside. "Mrs. Jones, I don't think Bill Brown will hit our boy any mufe. "Why?" . "Come and see.'' Mrs.-Jones steppe i to the window, and looked- out. They Were bringing Urown jMnne-on shutter, , with both ot his eyes l-wiged up aud his nose drij ping blood at every pore. . Mrs, Jones turned- to lier husband-, and said : " ." ! '.. "' ' .,- '"Darling, can you forgive me!" Jones drew himself up -haughtily, and replied with withering sarcasm ; "Mrs. Jones, 1 don't think I am able to protect this family ; you'd better seud tor your brother.'' '' ''. ".
