Til CI II l OL'UTII I'LASiK,
Wo were at a loss for Homo time to
boo the exact point to bo attained by
the Radicals in their terrific howl
against repudiation. Had there boon
a repudiation plank ia the Albany
Platform the problem would have
been of easy solution. But such ia
not the cane. Then why is it that ev
er niuco tho opening of tho campaign
every Radical orator and editor has
been diligently eng getl in manufac
turing and promulgating tho prepoa
terous falsehood ? Tho 4th Resolution
of tho Portland Platform furnishes an
answer in these words: "That tho
national honor requires tho payment
of tho public indebtedness in tho ut
most good faith to all creditors at
homo or abroad, not only according to
the letter, but (he spirit if the law under
which it vm contracted."
Hero then, wo have, in a Binglo par
agraph, a key-note to tho wholo pro
gramme of tho Radical campaign :
It was conceived in duplicity, was born
in mendacity, and ia having its being
iu the hlimo and corruption of a mer
ccnary horde of public plunderers.
It ia a fitting preludo to tho infamous
design of a corrupt party striving to
maintain its supremacy iu bo unwor

tention of tho people of this Slate
froni the letter and ?jirit of that 4lh
resolution, by tho specious cry of re

of tho votes that could only thus be
obtained from the honest, honorable
government. Tho system is a gratui- iaud hard-fisted yeomanry of tho State,

II A MI MONOPOLIES.
The National Banks - constitute a
part, ond a prominent part, cf tho mo
nopoly system inaugurated and sought
to bo perpetuated in tho country
by the Republican party. It has al
ready grown into a power so gigantic
that it has obtained absolute control
of Congress and can therefore over
ride the popular will and defy popu
laf sentiment. It is said that a major
ity of the members of Congress arc
interested directly or indirectly, in
National Banks, tho maintainanco of
which is a perpetual war upon tho
rights of tho people.
Tho Washington correspondence of
tho New York Herald of April 30th
ays: "Tho strength of tho national
bank interest is beginning to develop
itself, esnocially in tho House.
Members from tho .West boast that no
measure can go through that is inimi
cal to the banks. The same is also
true of the Southern members."
There is no doubt but that this
national bank interest, already no
strong, will continue to grow stronger.
It is already strong enough to inter
dict any measure that threatens to im
pair the least of iis vast privileges.
If in its infancy, it is so powerful,
what may wo not reasonbly fear from
it when it shall have reached a more
mature age ?
The bank circulation should bo ex
changed for government paper.
There is no good rcasou for giving in
to private hands the benefit of a cir

J1ETKOPOLITAN LOGIC.
In our article of last week, in which
wo endcuvorod to show that tho 8th
resolution does not mean repudiation
of any part of tho public debt, wo
have touched up tho sensitive nature
of tho Oreyouian' to such an extent
that it has becomo uuballanccd and
been compelled to resort to that der
nier resource unmeaning invectives
and bungling efforts at humor to cov
er up its stupidity. When a journal
that professes respectability answers
any given proposition by exclaiming
"sago conclusions," it confesses its in
ability to reply by argument. When
that journal asks "how does tho Demo
crat propose to get rid of tho semi
annual interest exct'T t by repudiating
tho principal ?" as an answer to the
plain language of tho resolution that
the Democratic party propose to pay
tho principal uud thus stop tho inter
est its obtuHencss is only equalled by
its cfl'ronttry. And when that paper
insists that urging tho payment of tho
priucipal and interest according to the
terms tf tho contract is repudiation,
wo can only say what Goldsmith said
of tho village pedagoguo :
"In arguing to t'.iu ur."ii, oimip I hi. nkill.
For rven lliou-li a-Mini-lio 1 bo could wrj;ue t'll."
"The fanciful division" of Unit 8th
resolution is another thorn in tho side
of our ucrobutic cotcmporary, aud be
trays the illy-concealed chagrin, with
which his heart is fostering, at tho fu
tile efforts it has made to fasten upon
tho Democratic party its pet theory of
repudiation. While thero was uny
difference Ix'tween Democratic jour
nals, the Ori-twiinii was daily patting
one side on the back and taunting tho
other to e ngage iu controversy. When
that failed it turned and now assails
us as a repudiationist. That journal
is bound to admit, if a truthful ad
mission can by any possibility lo ex
torted from it, that we have earnestly
and consistently opposed repudiation
during the campaign. An I when wo,
in answer to tho continued clamor of
the Oretjnuian, make that resolution
sustain and interpret itself ajfiiiil re
pudiation, wo are gravely told that our
position is undignified and that we are
to be a laughing stock for everyldy.
And this is the logic of a metropolitan
daily journal, that arrogates to itself
brains, c insistency and respectability.
When we how by the resolution itse-lf
that it means payment according to the
tt-rnii of the contract the Oreymiau re
plies : "Why lias not the convention
so declared?'' Let us apply this same
style of logic to the assertion of that
journal, that the resolution means re
pudiation, and would it not have reason
to complain of unfairness? Wo arc
gla l that it has opened its batteries
upon i4. Wo would rejoice were
it a foeumn more worthy of our ?teel.

Of course the italics and small cap's
are ours. In keeping with the spirit of
accommodation claimed in the first part
of tms paragraph, we gave this quota
tion the fullest credit. It indicated
the position of tho Democratic party
everywhere. It indicated tho position
of the Dkmocrat on the vital eighth
resolution. It indicated what the posi
tion of every Democratic nominee in the
State ought to be. And we were glad
to find that it indicated Mr. Slater's
position; particularly so, inasmuch as
an attempt had been made to make
him appear to endorse the nonsen
sical anil preposterous " gold stand
ard" theory, or tho Fay platform
(which is the gold standard theory
run to seed.) But, as if to show how
unstable are all things human, only
two days from the time the above ex
tract mode its appearance, the Oregon
ian came to hand with another refer
ence to Mr. Slater's position, to-wit
(wo quote from the issue of May Cth).

these statements our full and implicit

WASTED, S50 MAJORITY.
The Democratic State ticket wants
a majority of 350 votes, in Linn coun
'ty and that majority it expects to get.
If every Democrat does his duty it will
get it. We must not be contented
with a respectable majority. We want
one that isoverwhelniing. Linn ought
to give the largest majority that is giv
en in the State, on either, side, and
she will most certainly do so. The
Radicals concede ns 200. Bat by
nearly doubling that Lumber, we shall
teach them how to estimate majorities
in the future. We send greeting to
our friends in all parts of the State
nd confidently assure them that Linn
will more than stand Marion off this
year. - -
Thb Oregonian of the 5th instant,
speaking of the 8th resolution of the
Democratic platform,' eays: "It is
singular, indeed, that any difference
of opinion should arise as to the in
terpretation of a document that in
terprets . itself." ' Now this exactly
what we have been thinking and urg
ing for some time; and we are very
much pleased at this manifestation of
returning rearon on the part of the
Oregonian. Before the campaign ia
oyer it will require considerable argu
ment, no doubt, to convince that pa
per, that there -was any reasonable
ground for more than one opinion
about the meaning of the immortal
8th resolution,' anxl the man who will
dare insinuate that equitable adjust
ment could be tortured to mean repu
diation will be looked at as unfit to
run at large, and pointed out as ' a
proper subject for the ' issuance of a

most inevitable destruction that such a
course of conduct will bring upon
their heads, and urgo upon them to
forsake their serpentine ways and walk

in the future.
Tne Democrat. aUcmpl'ng to argue against
repudiation, is by its own arguiueut committed t j
tbe odious doctrine. It siys that the seini-anuu-
al interest is one of tbe "enormous expenses of
Kadieal tnal-adniinirtration. Then, cf courne,
it would cut off this "expen c" at oi cc. l.iLtiu
tbe out-ei of bis argument thut paper thus con
victs itself of what it calls in am. her article
" shameless robbery." Oreyouian:'
That may be good metropolitan logic,
but it won't stand the wear and tear
of every day use. Does the Oregoni
an mean to say that repudiation is the
only means by which the expense of
the semi-annual interest can be cut
off? Any individual owing an inter
est bearing note, can save himself tho
expense consequent upon the payment
of interest by paying the principal of
the note. We hope the Oregonian can
see the point. We shall certa nly do
our best to make the matter so plain
that even that paper can see it. The
whole question can be summed up in
a few words. The Government pays
now in the course of a few years, in
semi-annual gold coin interest, (just
what the 8th resolution so complains
of) a sum equal to the entire principal ot
the debt. And there is a prospect that
this process, under Radical rule, will
be many times repeated. The Dem
cratic party proposes to pay this prin
cipal. This "lawful money" does not
draw interest, and government will
save its hundred and odd millions
every year, that is now exacted from
the . tax imvers to pay interest. It
. A V as, .
will thus save, in interest, enough in
a few years, to redeem the greenbaoks.
Tf tpa nrA told that inflation of
the currency will cause its depreciation
we answer that it will not, if the prop
osition of the Republican party that
the yalue of the paper money depeno.3
upon the confidence that people have
in the ability . of the Government to
redeem it, be true.

The Orrjt.nitm of the Sih intimates,
bv implication, that our protest
against its endorsement of tho Fay
construction of tho 8th resolution of
the Albany platform, was not made in
tlue time. In our issue of April 1st,
tho first opportunity that wc had to
express ourselves on the subject, we
made use ef the following language :
"It (the platform) embodies no such a
proposition as repudiation, and such a
charge made against the Democracy of
Oregon is slanderous and false." This
was our first utterance aud our first
oppoitunity for an utterance. This

Chicago, May 6. A fire in Quiocy,
llliuoii'. ihi. iiinrniiiir, dc.-t roved the Ex-
ly in the rag, tag and lob-tail of tbe
Democratic tlcbrti.
Tue ria'uidcakr pays "that those pa
pers who are opposed to the 8th reso
lution are like rams butting against
the wail." So say we, and believe with
the I'laindeal r "that although the but
ting may be vigorous, we guess the
wall can stand it." la very paper
which has hitherto attempted to go off
of the platform and begun the oirera
tion of butting agaiust the 8th resolu
tion has come off worsted. This is
tw.toriniiH. We admire tho nluck of
proposition we have endeavored to the Le vlai,Mt but think that when
The Plaindealer of Gth remarks: "It
ill becomes any Democratic newspa
per to attempt any interpretation of
this (the 8th) plank in our platform,
other than that which theaConventiou
intended; and it is folly and nonsense
for Republican journals to charge re
pudiation its meaning is apparant
not repudiation."
We are glad that our Roxebvrg co
temporary has raised its voice against
that " pestilential abortion," "repudi
lion." The debate upon that ill-starred
8th, resolution, as it was originally,
reported by the committee on resolu
tions, has been tho causa of all
the dispute that has grown out of that
resolution during the campaign. We
are prouet at tins manuesiauon oi
sterling Democracy in our Douglas
county cotemporary.
Inasmuch as every Radical journal in
the State is at war with us in our con
struction of thr Albany platform, we
desire to ask of every. Democrat in the
State this question : Will you sup
port the platform of your party or do
you propose to support a platform
made for you by . the Radicals and
their sympathizers? Every sane man
can see by our last issue, in the article
entitled "Coming to the Point," that
the platform is a self-sustaining and
self-interpreting institution and needs
only to be read to be , understood. It
construes itself.
Thb Oregonian' 8 vapid diatribes
against the arguments of the Hon.
Daniel Vjorheesremind one of the
barking .of a little dog at her majesty,
the moon. ' -..
lruol. wilt rn.b In wtumk ann-als fear In treed '
licst of our humble ability to maintain
against the enemies of tho Democratic
party both within and without its
ranks ever since. We never seriously
supposed at tho outset that any one
would be guilty of such cabalistic non
sense as to attempt to construe equita
ble adjustment to mean wholesale
robbery.
Oca Portland, occasional, corres
pondent, Smith, seems to be an un
lucky genius. In one of his letters,
published in the Democrat of January
21st, he commented on a Spiritual
lecturer; whereupon an irate individ
ual, who signed after his own proper
name, the words " boot and shoo ma
ker" let fly at his head a half column
of savage and sarcastic literature which
ought to have gratified the splentic
humor of the writer, even if it did not
appall our correspondent. But it
did nothing of tho kind, for the ap
pearance of Smith in our issue of week
before last, is made the occasion for
nearly a columnful in the Commercial,
which, though not adorned with
the signature and avocational menace
of tho first attack, nevertheless bears
tho unmistakable signs of having the
same origin. " Smith," deserves sym
pathy. However willing he may be to
take up the glove when it is thrown at
his feet, he has no alternative but to
dodge when a last is thrown at him.
We should feel very much humilia
ted did the Radical press endorse us
in our ideas on the 8th resolution.
We are not of that school of politi
cians that believe in conforming to the
views of the enemy. We have lived
too long to expect encouragement
fiom our political opponents. We
would mistrust our competency to ad
vocate Democratic principles did we
not receive Radical misrepresentation
deserve. Radical censure.
an enemy's batteries are silenced and
the white flag suspended from its bat
tlements, that further hostilities
should cease. Wo are aware that
prominent journals were at one time
giving to the 8th plauk irj our plat
form "an interpretation other than
that which the convention intended."
But they are not doing so now.
"Fair play is bonuio piny."
Let it be remembered that no Rad
ical journal iu this State has ever com-
batted the idea of repudiation upon
principle, or urged a single reason
against its monstrosity during the cau-
vass. So far as Radical logic is con
cerned, iepudiation may be right.-
Why do not these champions of bight r
law say something agaiust repudiation
outside of mere fault-finding with
those who are so silly as to advocate it?
It i renorted h it A. J Thnycr. the Pcmocrnt-
ic euiididiiU) for Jude of this Judicial District,
in a recent ratification mocting. ileolured himself

Madame Grundy and Radical edit
ors are eternally reporting this thing
and that thing about Democratic nom
inees. The very name of the Hon. A.
J. Thayer is of itself a sufficient guar
antee of tho falsity of this silly para
graph. Try again.
