JiEFOliM"' NEQESSAJIY.- "
Tlie Democracy went into the late
canvass liowlincr for "relorm," iloclarinw
that the immense burden ot taxation
fastened upon tlie people was eating out
their very vitals finil hail become too
grievous to bo borne ! . They entirely
ujnoreil the fact that the leiiiocratic
parly, and the Democratic party alone,
was chargable for this great burden,
arid went lieiore the people pleading for
votes for tie Democratic standard beai
ere, asserting that (in the face of the
history of the past), it was the party of
"reform !". And to prove more clearly
its right to be considered the "reform
party, it immediately engaged, not only
in wholesale intimidation of voters
wherever it was cousidered safe, but iit
perpetrating the most gigantic frauds,
ballot-box stuffing, repeating, etc., ever
witnessed in any country ; they attempt
through their courts -and Democratic
Clovernors'to sot aside the will of the
people, and declare a minority candi
date elected, and issue certificates of
election to parties who have not the
slightest right to them, and then throat
ed to "die in the last ditch" if any ot
their outrageous acts of usurpation and
fraud are examined into. This is the
"reform" Democracy which, by its
murders, destroying ballot-boxes, rack
ing false returns and committing other
outrages against the laws and peace of
the country, has necessitated the ap
pointment of committees, and 'the sum
monsing of scores cf witnesses from
diflerert parts of tlie country, at a cost
of hundreds of thousands of dollars to
be added to the already burdensome
debt fastened upon the Nation by it a
fe v years ago. For the truth of these
charges we refer to the record of the
Democratic party which is now being
made up. Will the patriotic, Union
loving, God fearing men of this'corm
try further tolerate and by their votes
sustain such a party ? We think not.
"THE ItCMI DEMOCRATIC
SXEAKS."
As showing the high estiination(?)
in which the Democracy of the North
in hejd by the Democracy of the South,
we quote the above as one of the 'pet"
expressions of the latter when referring
to the former! The Southern people
always claimed to be the "head and
brains" of the Democratic party ; and
now in their disgust and contempt for
their Northern allies, who are "invinci
ble in peace and invisible' in war," they
style them the "rump Democratic
sneaks !" The appropriateness of this
characterization, as applied to the
Northern Democratic politicians, will
be seen at once. Our contemporary
occupies the same position to the
"rump" that the cork does to the
bottle ! ; '

ASSOCIATE
FOIt
GEXTEEMEX.
The infamous part enacted by Grover
and those who rule over him, at Salem,
not only meets with the condemnation
of the honest citizens of Oregon, but he
and they are receiving the . condemna
tion ot the honest press everywhere.
An outspoken, independent journal of
California has this to say in thematteri
"How much does Lafayette Grover
make by the political swindle, which he
has practiced upon the people of , Ore
gon and ot the United States? . Will
he ever be recognized as a fit associate
for gentlemen, even in his own party ?
If not, he will curse the day when lie
sacrificed his plain legal duty to satisfy
the demands of rabbid partisans. The
proverb says that though men may love
the treason they hate the traitor ; and
Grover will learn its truth.'
Six mining deeds on the ledge of the
great IJonanza (mud springs) on Camp
creek, in Wasco county, have been re
coided, ii the clerk's office in The
Dalles, ..- . '
: Frank Knnis, superintendent of the
English Company at Galice creek, re
ports a scarcity ot s water for working
the mines, they having only 150 inehes
in the ditch. , ; , . . ; :
The Caledonian mine on Isthmus
Slough, is opened ami will be ready to
ship coalsoou. This is claimed to be
as good a ruhie as there is on Coos Bay.

CHARGE OF' T,ltlBEItY ,
, The chief organ of the: Democracy of
Oregon threatens, that 'if publicans
persist ia presenting the proofs in their
possession ot GroverV :gllilt'a : briber,
it ' will ' blast' forever the reputation cf
leading men in the liepnblicaii party
This is the old, old storyof "stop
thief!" ; IJut these .Democratic politi
cians of Oregon, disciples pt those great
est of thieves and liars, Tweed-Tildci
may as well learn now that for all time
hereafter threats of any; kind, coming
from them, will scare iib'oiie, ,nTiieir
threats of inaugurating bloody war un
less Tildon is . elected, president 'fell
stiHbrfni tni . the atf fKepublieaiw,
and only excited the derision "of the
leaders ot the Democratic, party of the
Souths who characterizo the Northern
Democrats as "rtimp sneaks !"
'" 'Dut the most astOnisl)tn2-thin2,to Ue-.
publicans as well as : Democrats, is the
virtual acknowledgment of the orgSn
that Grover is guilty of briberies. It
has always been the custom of Demo
cratic journals to deny all allegations
against partisans, both before and after
the charges were : established. ; Ilaring
this one instance, Democratic, papers
during the late canvass have almost
universally followed this course aid a
majority, if not all, of them are still
keeping up their lick ! Tlie organ de
clares that if yon prove "bribery" and
"corruption" against Gov. Grover, and
thus throw him out of the U. -S. Senate
and into the .penitentiary, it will pro.
ceed at once to show up similar cases o
bribery in the Ilepublican party ! If
the organ knew of any such cases, it
was its duty, as an honest guardian of
the people's interests, to have preseuted
the facts and had the parties brought to
justice. As it has not done it, all hou-
est men will believe that it has not
now, and never has had, any such evi
dence but it hopes by such threats and
insinuations to create a belief in the
public mind that other parties are
equally gui'ty in those matters, with the
Democracy, and thus lighten the fall
'which is sure to overtake Grover. ' "
MORE- DEMOCRATIC REFORM. !
This great "lieform Democratic"
party has brought another burden' upon
tlie Nation. By it,s attempts to over
ride the will -of the people, possibly
through tho orders of Tiiden, in this
State at Salem on the Gth inst., it has
necessitated the summoning of a large
number of witnesses to Washington
City, at an expense ot thousands of
dollars to" tlie people of this Nation.
The leaders of the Democratic party in
Oregon, by this outrageous attempt at
fraud upon the people have covered
themselves with obloquy, and brought
an otherwise needless expense upon the
Nation, adding thousands of dollars, to
the already heavy burdens of the peo
ple ; andj this in addition -to the State
debt of nearly one million dollars which
Grover leaves the people to pay '
