the Chicago nomination, his friend will

It is said that Senator-elect Garfield

Tho feeling among thinking men is in
ftvor of M r. fc'iinn tor the ofllce of County
Jatfge. And the reasons tor this are many
and aofiSdeot. The office certainly is not
a political one in any sense, and as it is of
the utmost Importance that a competent,
snond, sonest, reliable man should fill the

and well earned fame to the office, and
will go Into ofilec fUlly qualified to attend
to an the duties devolving opon him from

White Gen. Grant is not our first choioe
lor the Presidency, we may be permitted
to say that he. stands before the country
opon a record never hitherto attained by
mortal man. He has made some ot the
grandest, noblest and best declarations to a
fallen foe that ever proceeded from the
heart and lips of victorious general.
Washington was 'first In war, first In
peace, and first in the hearts of his country
men," and so, too. Grant is first, not only
in the -hearts of his countrymen," but in
the hearts of the hte enemies of his coun
try, as Well. Jo such grand ovation was
ever tendered a-conqueror, unattended in
the enemy's country, as was given Gen.
Grant in tlie South. His words to the
Southern people Were of. good cheer. He
entered into no t'.rade ot abuc and dls.
played no enmity 5 on the contrary, wiih
ont ostentation or arrogance, lie went
among the people of the South and de
monstrated his friendship and patriotism,
representing no North, no South, no East,
no West, but extended tlie right hiiiid of
fellowship and brotherly love, and the
people, with one, accord, white and black,
received him with open arms to their hearts
and homes, and tendered him ovations
such as no man ever received since the
beginning of time. This much we will
say in regard to Ger.. Grant, no matter
whether he obtains the Chicago uoHii na
tion or not.
Hon. M. C. George's reputation for
honesty Is equal taTttiat of an J' man ; his
honesty has never been ealhxl in question
by any man. Compared with his competi
tor. Mr. George has had but small experi
ence in legislative matters and yctelie has
accomplished much mote. He is younger
than his opponent, and therefore will bo
more active and energetic in tlie interests
ot his State, and having a far better edu
cation lie will be able to present his views
more clearly and impress them more firm
ly than Mr. Whiteaker. Mr. George is in
sympathy with the age in which ho lives
and therefore is progres.-Ive m his ideas,
while Mr. Whiteaker occupies his position
of twenty years ago when he took the
narrow ground of bitter opposition to
everything having for its object the pres
ervation of our glorious union. He stands
where he stood in 1861, and deserves noth
ing ot this people but an overwhelming
defeat, which we feel assured will be given
him in June.
A country wholly dependent upon
agriculture lor Its exports is unbalanced,
and liable to periods of great depression.'
Oregon occupies this position, and as soon
as the people become aware of the fact
and the fact embraced in th: above propo
sition is indisputable the better tor ail
concerned. If the people wish to get rid
of these periodical depressions, they mut
take hold and aid manufacturing enter
prise!?. Oregon produces an abundance of
wool, flax and hide, and if these were
turned into their legitimate products, em
ployment would be' given to at least ns
many more people as are now citizens of
the State. These products could be man
ufacture as cheap liere as elsewhere, and
instead of sending money out of the State
or the manufactured articles, 'never to le
turn, the money would be sent here and
remain, to build up and enrich the State.
Other industries would follow, and tlie
spectacle that now may be seen each year,
of hundreds ot thousands of dollars going
out ot the State to purchase all kinds ot
goods, implements, etRjjroUjULbgtfii no
more, mm niu'icj' Could always be com
manded in Oregon.
Democrats generally, as well as a large
number ot Republicans, believe that Gen.
Grant will be tlie nominee of the Chicago
Convention. ' We are not convincd of thi3
but believe that some one else will be the
nominee, but who that . man will be it
would be impossible to name now. In
case Gen. Grant shall oe the nominee ol
the Chicago Convention, Tilden will as
suredly be the nominee of the Cincinnati
Convention. There seems to be nothing
more certain than W.sl From being fee
ble and showing symptoms if an early
demise, Tilden has suddenly fired up, fill.
of vigor and a bar'l ot money, as eager
for the nomination as ever. So far as we
are concerned, Tilden would be our choice
as be Is by far the easiest man to beat that
ts at all likely to be named by the Cincin
nati Convention. Tlie great Iraitdce of
Gniinercy park would be such n load that
even the Democratic party could not carry
It. If then we are to have Gen. Grant and
Samuel J. Tilden as the standard bearers
In the coming Presidential tight, there Is
nothing more certain than that Gen. Orant
will, for the third tine, occupy the Presi.
dtntl il chair. , .
Our legislative ticket Is an exceedingly
good one, composed ot men w-ho com
maud the respect of all parties for their
intelligence, energy, honesty and moral
worth. Having lived clean lives they
have no Kist record of bad faults or ac
tions to defend, and' will therefore get tlie
undivided support of alt Republicans, and
scores of votes from thinkers of opposite
political belief. Men who think for them
selves and have minds of their own, will
vote to place in office the persons best
qualified to serve them men who have
no cloud upon their political or moral
characters. To such we confidently ask
the careful and candid consideration . of
tlie Republican . Legislative ticket, being
assured that a careful comparislon will in
duce them to cast their votes with us. To
those who vote as they are ordered by the
party leaders, we do not appeal their
Ignorance Is too dense, to be reached by
anything short ot Gabriel's trumpet.
Democracy in Yamhill is badly mixed.
The Grover ling are after Galloway, de
termined to secure Ids defeat. Galloway's
friends will not support F-rguson, who is
ou'lhe ticket with him. ,The candidate for
Sheriff, Hendricks, is in the same boat
with Galloway, and Is likely to be defeat
ed if Galloway Is. But While the I ingsters
are defeating j Gal toway and. Hendricks,
they will swamp the balance ot the tick
et, Andy Shuck for State Senator, Included.
It is urged that out or the number of
bills introduced by Hon M. C. George In
tlie Stale Senate, otfly six became laws.
Snpposetlils to be true,! during tlie same
time Whiteaker was a member and he did
notjiJucceed In getting a single measure
through. During all this time Whiteaker
was President of the Senate wbicli gave
him additional influence lu putting through
any measure lie may have advocated.
And while occupying the office of Presi
dent ot the State Senate, with all the pow
er and influence which it gave him more
than he would have had, had he only
been entitled to a seat in that body, either
through a hick or ability or desire, he failed
to accomplish anything for his immediate
constituency or the State i It will not do
to say that lie was an officer and could
not introduce bills, as he was just as much
a member and had i:s much right to do
so as Mr. George Or any one oh that floor.
But we believe, in justice to Whiteaker, it
will be as well to state that lie did not
refuse to introduce bills, but did claim the
right, introducing several measures.
None of them ever became laws, however,
as they were so entirely worthless and
without merit that, notwithstanding he
was President ot the Senate, and his party
bad the. majority in the Legislature,
both in 137G and IS 3, the two sessions In
which lie and Mr. George served together,
his party could'nt be Induced to vote them
into laws! As a representative In the
Legislature of his State, with the work
ings of which he certainly must have been
perfectly familiar, having been a member
so long, he was ot no profit whatever.
As a member of Congress he is a still
greater failure, and has not and never
will be able to accomplish anything what
ever. In all those years of service as Gov
ernor, niembrr of the Legislature and
Conzress, he has accomplish d but one
thing, be has been dubbed '-Honest John,'
and now this title is denied him, by bis
own party, too. prominent members ot
which charge hint with taking a $3,000
bribe. So much for Whiteaker.
An acre of government land costs $1.25.
A corner grocery hangcr-oli will easily
consume five ten-cent drinks per day. In
two and one-hail days he has swallowed
an acre of as fine land as '-lays out ot
doors." If he averages two days and a
half of loafing per week, he consumes a
fair sized farm every year. If his toliacco
and cigars average a trifle over lialt as
much, he has squandered a quarter section.
And these are the men who in cities can
find nothing to do. are continually com
plaining of hard times, and their faroiliss,
when the wife cannot earn enough to keep
them in lirjiior, or refuses to give them
more, overrun the country as tramps. I1
is these men who are festering communists
and fasten themselves ujon every honest
movement of Labor for reforms in hours
ot work or tor needed and just demands
for bt-tter wages. Who can have any
great amount of sympathy for a man who
swallows his garden patch in the morning
before breakfast, and who whines tor bread
before sunset ?
Democratic journals in answer to the
charge that Whiteaker never Introduced
any hills while In the Legislature, and
was therefore a mere figure-head in tfcat
body, say he could have iiitPCuhieed bills If
he clioe ; but avtib'n. M. C. George did
introtluQe'Tteral bills that failed to become
laws, he didn't think it worth his while to
make an attempt. And in this probably
he was right ; still, even an attempt would
at least have shown that he had some idi a
ot the business which tils constituents sent
him to the Leglslaaie for.
Two or three weeks ago the smelters ot
Omaha struck for 20 per cent, advance of
wages. On the 21 inst. the bosses secured
105 negroes from Kaivcas City, Leaven
worth and St. Joe, a large number of
whom were armed with revolvers and
guns, and therefore were not molested by
tlie strikers, who held a council ot war
and determined to offer the colored men
return tickets to their homes, after ex
plaining the condition of affairs. The
offer was made and excepted, when tlie
bosses offered an advance of 5 per cent to
the strikers, . which was accepted, and
peace reigns In Omaha.
The World declares that tlere Is not the
slightest ground for belief tliat Tilden can
by and' means whatever be elected, but
there Is tlie strongest ground tor belief
that he cannot be, and cites the Oregon
case as one ot the most serious impedi
ments. It says : .
We lay letor; nnr readers this morning
a careful digest abstract or the only too fa

We content ourselves with reproducing
the story as it stmd. It is as colorless a
narrative as could well be made of such
a chapter in our politics ; but is there any
democrat in his right mind, north or south

any party who goes Into tlw next presi
dential contest with a candidate about
whom such a wall of circumstantial evi
dence impugning his ability, bis integrity,
his methods, his whole iiolltical inner

persoftlie Oregon story which We this

Tlie bill introduced in Congress by Mr.
Daggett of Nevada, to compel a survey ot
the 25.000.000 acres ot land belonging to
the Union and Central Pacific, railroads,
is a measme that has long been needed.
These corporations possess a vast landed
domain, considerably larger than New
Hampshire, Vermont. Massachusefs,
Rhode Island and Connecticut combined,
whieh thev have received as a eltt from
the tieonle. and tor which scores of mil
lions of dollars will ultimately flow Into
their coders ; yet with ample revenues and
an Immense and profitable business, they
are persistently endeavoring to avoid- tlie
payment of taxes opon It, by refusing to.
liave it surveyed. Without this, it can
not be assessed ; and without assessments
it cannot, of course, be taxed. There is no
way to compel surveys except by Act of
Congress, and the only disposition tt'w far
shown by the companies lias been t? lei ay
suu lino' -tiny sucn legislation. . i
Elsewhere in this Issue will be found a
letter from Judge Flinn, in which be gives
his reasons for refusing to canvass the
county for the office-of County Judge.
The pos'tlon taken by Judge Flinn lit this
matter Is perfectly correct th office .is
not a political one, and the candidates
should not be called upon to canvass the
county like other political aspirant. It
was understood, too, as one of the consider
ations ot Judge Flmn's , accepting tlte
nomination, that he would not be compell
ed to canvass ; In fact he told the com
mittee that he positively would not can
vass if they persisted in nominating him.
While we know that Judge Flinu can and
would make., a most effective canvass,
we endorse his position, and believe he
shows his appreciation ot tlie office and
its duties when he refuses to go on tlie
stump and proclaim his political views.
It Is proposed to tunnel the St. Lawrence
river at Montreal. An engineer lias the
matter in liand. so far as surveys are con
cerned, and a syndicate Is on the eve of
formation to apply for a charter with a
capital ot 1.000.000 ami borrowing pow
ers up to $3,008,000. The tunnel will 1
sufficiently broad to accommodate a double
track. The boring will. It is expected, be
through th substance known as black
rock, and, should the geological stlffey
previously made by the Government prove
to be correct.' there will be no more difficult
substance to' contend with. The cost is
roughly estimated at $3,000,000, and Is less
tlian a substantial bridge could be built for.
Politics must be a very fascinating busi
ness. We know ' Men who ran kheel
down and offer loud prayers for Godliness,
morality and temperance, wImJ would not
cheat a neighbor, who give change scrupu
lously but who. when mixed In politice
seem to forget vey prviciple ot decency,
resort to the tricks of knaves, tlie practie
of backbiters and forj,-t temperance and
morality in the scramble tor office. Such
are hypocrites who will find thei'
'N'niu-Mn" barring the ga.e of luaven
agiiu.it them.
