At the meeting of the Republican Coun
ty Central Committee, held in this city
last Friday, the resignation of Alex. Bran
don, as candidate for the legislature, was
accepted, and Mr. Wm. Davis, of Peoiia,
substituted. Mr- Davis is an old and
highly respected resident of this county,
competent to fill the seat ot a legislator
with ability and credit to himself anil con
stituents, and Iiis honesty is unquestionable.
Mr. Davis will receive the hearty support
of all Republicans mid ail Vo'erS tHio de
sire ability and honesty in their represen
tative. An exchange says Congress is contem
plating the passage of a bill providing for
the acquirement of citizenship by the In
dians Civilization is rapidly overtaking
the Indian. Soon lie will run tor office anil
Itarn how much a vote in a close ward will
cost bhii ; lie w'll learn, instead ot getting
into troitble with the soldier, to steal
from the government as largely and as
sately as the IniTian agent used-to steal
from him. And ijie flr?-t Indian who goes
to Congress will introduce a bill to regit
late the finances, long before he knows
enough English to swear gHrnatically.
Our De-nocratic friends rile unfortunate
in their nominations, a usual. Mr. Whit
eaker. Democratic candidate tor re-election
to Congress,' whoe inefficiency and inter
u-e!essncss as an M. C. is so notorious is
now charged by reputable members of hi
party with being a bribe-taker. If the
crime ot bribery be proven, then Whitea
ker is a criminal, and should be punished
as the law directs. Two of the Democrat
ic nominees for the Supreme Bench must
stand dumb before the accusations which
public opinion freely anil boldly makes
against their judicial acts. As a contrast
we present the nominees of the Republi
can party, and challenge the closest scru
tiny. For ability, honesty, truth and
faithfulness in every tru-t hitherto placed
in their hands, tliey deserve and have re
ceive! l be plaudit of the whole people.
And the voters of Oregon will show their
al i.ling trust and confidence in - them by
giving the whole State ticket a rousing ma
jority io .Tone.
The Democracy of Oregon hae nomi
nated John Wliifeaker, the present incum
bent, for Representative in Congress. In
their pist affliction of having a n-eless del
egation in Congress, we sympathize with
the people ot Oregon. Senator G rover
and John Whiteaker are two good cyphers
and are neither nrn-unenta.1 or useful.
But Whiteaker will be elected to stay at
home next Juneiiy nbout 2.000 votes, as
the people he represents understand that
the on5y remarkable thing be has evc-r
doiie was the ride across trie continent on
double-quick to help organize a Democratic
Congress. a:id they will not,-by. consider
able, give him another chance to maguity
his name. Xo. Honest John" will soon
be returned to his humble firm in Lntu

. The Republican State Centra! Com
mittee will meet next week to nominate
a candidate for the office of State Printer;
The office ot State Printer belongs right
fully to the newspaper man to the; man
who has worked faithfully, not atone for
the party, but the tor building' up of the
country. The office was intended, and
should always be given, to the printer,
not to the dispenser of horse, bills and
business cards, but to the hnrd-worfced editor-printer,
who has done something to
better . his fellow men ; who h.n done
something toward improving society ;
who has aided In building up your towns
and cities. In creating new industries, and
who Itas labored, in season 'and out of
i seasoii; for the welfare of the whole peo-
j pie. This U the feeling, we believe, of
the editors of this State. If the Central
j Committee nominate such a man, he will
prove a satisfactory candidate ; if they do
I not. the reverse will t,e case. Even
j Editors as strange as It may seem, have
j'a-iglits that mut be respected. Do you
: catch our meaning? We have been a
member ot the Republican party since

A statement is made by a prominent

mediately after the adjournment ot the
Legislature was In possession often shares
In the Lock. Company's stock ; that he ac
knowledged the ossession of tlie rtnek ;
that these ten shares were represented lor
him by proxy at the meetings of the Com
pany, aud that subsequently he so'd tiiree
of them tor t'3.C00 in cash. Gen. Lane
was so .veil satisfied of the truth of the
charge that be refuted to vote In the Dem
ocratic Convention for Whites &er, ard
has statc'f Whi:i the past few days to the
editor of the Rust-burg Ic!dj-n7tii( "ih:it
prominent Democrat and men of responsi
bility had informed him, that It was with
in their power to prove "hat John Whitea
ker. while a member of the Oregon Legis
lature, hail accepted a bribe, amounting
in the end to $3,000." Tlie citizens of
Oregon do not intend to be represented In
Congress by a bribe-taker when they
knrf.v If. and Mr. Whiteaker will be com
pelled to come before the people of Oregon
a'nd refute tlie charge, or he will meet with

profits of the office during the term to the
w'tlow of Mr. Carter. We understand
that the long illness ot Mr. Carter has left
the estate In a bad fix, and Sirs. Carter
really needs the aid as proposed. If this
be a true statement, then we are In fiA'or
of givfiiff the nomination to Mr. Cady.

The Jacksonville Times says the M. C.

Mr. George, and worked for his defeat.
