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

haste to get buck to their reservation
which they reached in a thoronghly
frightened and demoralized condition.

attempts will be made by tl.cn to move

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

, 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. . ; '

Tilden has an eye single to tlwa public

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 . --." :- : . ' Vivify
Then they planned that they would
elope. They had both had nearly all
kinds of experience, but neither of them
had ever clopcdC So Ihcy ran away,
and registered at Rawlins as John Cam
eron and wife. Thus, these two, who
seemed to be made for each other, were
at last brought together, and lived hap
py ever afterwards. So the green grass
waved, the mountain blast blasted, the
zephyr sighed through the sage-brush,
the Iambs whisked their tails, aud Cam

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

ot his eyes l-wiged up aud his nose drij
ping blood at every pore.

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
