Much to the disappointment and
chagrin of the Radical party, Judge
T)avishasignified bis acceptanceof the
Presidential nomination tendered him
by the National Labor Reform Con
vention, which met at Columbus a few
days ago, and warmly endorses the
platform, which is anti-Grant, and
really Democratic in every particu
lar. It is fully, expected that Gov.
Parker will accept the nomination for
the Tice Presidency, also. Judge
Davis is a Liberal, Republican and a
long-time opponent of the corruptions

nomination will doubtless carry with
it the sympathy and support of the
Independent Republican element of
the country. Hon. Joel Parker, the
-candidate for Vice President, is the
newly elected ' Governor of New
-Jersey nnder whose guidance and
leadership the Democracy of "the
-Jerseys" last fall redeemed their
State from the short Radical thrall
dom under which it had been placed
bv the newlv enfranchised necrro
vote. His Democracy is orthodox
and his statesmanship of the highest
order. It is confidently predicted
that the nomination of this ticket
will be enthusiastically endorsed bv
the Independent Republican National
Convention which meets at Cincin
nati on the 1st of May. This move
ment is a crushing blow to the Grant
ites and leaves their cause in an al
most hopeless condition. Lat the
friends of civil reform and politi
cal liberty cheer up, for " there is life
in the old land yet." - '

Judge Davis, who has received the
nomination from the Labor Re
formers, is a Justice of the. Supreme
Court, and was appointed by Presi
dent Lincoln. He -is considered a
conservative Republican. Geo. W.
Julian, his strongest opponent, well
known for his views on the land aues-
tion, had been warmly endorsed by
the women suffragists, and his rer udi
ation by the Labor Reformers shows
that they believed his endorsement by
the female roosters would make him
a poor candidate for the people's suf-

Time ojp Electing Congressmen.
The time for election of Congress
men nas been nxed by Congress oa
the Tuesday after the first Monday in
November, commencing . with the
year 1876. . This provision will make
the election of Congressmen uniform
throughout the States, and will pre
vent any importation of voters from a
strong party district to a doubtful
one. It will necessitate the changing
of the time- of holding a number of
State elections, ro that the State elec
tions can be held at the same time as
the Congressional elections. After
the year 1876 there will be very few
October elections. : '
The Clackamas Kads. "We are
informed by a private letter from

The indications now are that the
question of the liquor traffic will cut
an important figure in our approach-
political campaign and that strong ef
forts will be made by the Temperance
clement to wield apower in the choice
of officers especially Legislators.-
Many of the recent Radical primaries
and County Conventions have adopted
prohibition resolutions and declared
themselves unalterably opposed to
any but strict temperance men for
office. Not one of the resolutions
speak in favor of even a stringent li
cense law they all point unerringly
to Prohibition. ;
Wo certaiuly do not believe that
such precipitate and arbitrary action
on the part of tho advocates of tem
perance will result in any good to tho
cause. Here on the Pacifio coast,
where the restraints of law have been
lightly lolt and loosely regarded aud
where ouly a few years since tho ties
perndo'8 bullet or the assassin's kuifo
were the only guardians of rights or
arbitrators of justice, it is hardly to be
expected that the people are yet edu
cated up to the prohibition standard
which these temperance zealots seek
to establish. Prohibition is generally
regarded as proscription and is looked
npon witfi disfavor by a large major!
ty of citizens of almost every State in
the Union ; and when tho friends of
temperance attempt to establish it by
legislation, the cause which might lie
vastly benefited by judicious and con
servat'ive measures always loses
ground.
To inject temperance planks into
political platforms give the cause a
partisan aspect and creates suspicion
in regard to the purity of the motives
of its advocates, thus weakening the
cause rather than giving it a forwai
impetus. .1 olitical; conventions are
made up of men of all occupations and
habits of life, and to see men in those
bodies voting for ultra temperance
measures whose every -day actions are
wholly at variance with such doctrines
appears too much like demagoguery
and trickery to invest the temperance
movement with any additional respect
from the outside observer.
The cause of temperance, in the ab
stract, is a good and noble one, and
should meet with consistent encour
agement from all good citizens, but.it
must be kept aloof from politics in
order to win the respect, countenance
and support of the good and true
men of the country
A Dead "Isu-ue." Grant is the
nearest a dead issue of anything we
have yet heard. It is true that he is
an "issue," but his name fails to
awaken any enthusiasm or warmth in
the Radical bosom. The Jfercury
tells us that in the Radical Marion
County Convention last Saturday the
usual resolution urging Grant's re
nomination was received in dead si
lence not a voice being raised to ap
plaud or " enthuse." There is no dis
guising the fact that Grant's shameless
nepotism, his corrupt jobs and his as
sociation with and protection of Cus
tom House thieves and all manner of
scoundrels, long ago filled the people
of the whole country with disgust, so
that were it left to the masses of the
Radical party of Oregon or any other
State, to express their preference for
a Presidential candidate, uninfluenced
by the dictation of officeholders and
nnpi incited political leaders, no re
spectable body of men conld be found
to name him as the man of their
choice.
. Prohibition-. The following res
olution was last Saturday unanimous
ly adopted in the Radical Convention
of Marion county:
Whereas, The fruits of the liquor
traffic are evil, only evil, and that con
tinually; inciting men to all manner
of crime, and bringing untold miser
ies upon innocent and helpless wo
men and children. , And since this un
holy, disgraceful and sin-enrsed traffic
is a greater burden to tax-payers than
free schools would be, therefore,
Jietolved, That this convention is
in favor of putting down the liquor
traffic and building up a system of
free schools. ,
This means prohibition in the strict
est sense of the term and r,hows that
the Radicals are determined to make
a fight against liquor license in any
form. The "free school" clause is
only thrown in as ballast and has
nothing whatever to do with the ulteri
or prescriptive design of the resolu
tion. . . .' ., . ... ,

children, tho mother taking tho two
oldest, and the father the baby.
There was a light; they saw their
father and mother kill these three
with their own hands. The father
killed tho baby first, then the mother
killed Leah ami Samuel. They then
came into the house naked and began
to pray to God. They saw the three
dead upon the ground, and the mother
and father naked. The two children
were hunted for by the parents after
the death of the three, but wero not
found. They got away to a draw
stack at daylight on Sunday, and
stayed there, where they were found
in the afternoon.

hugely disgusted with tho Multno
mah Radical Convention of last Sat
urday. The following withering sar
casm which we clip from that paper
of last Monday shows how Bro. Scott
feels over the way the thing worked
in that Convention:
"The proceedings wero marked
by perfect unanimity. After an or
ganization was effected, the Conven
tion proceeded to elect twenty-four ,
delegates. They were all elected by
a single ballot, each of tho twenty
four voting for himself and twenty
three of his associates. To avoid all
excuse for dissatisfaction, it was
thought prudent not to elect any out
sider to tho State Convention. We
like harmony. Now if we could
only get a county ticket nominated oq
these satisfactory and harmonious
principles!"
A Portlander named Jno. Carry

and the secret of bis death be buried
with him.

Indigestion is not dangerous, say . the faculty.'
Perhaps aot la itself, while it remains mere In
digestion; but look at tha consequences to
which it may lead, and efln dees lead when it
becomes a chronic disease. A spark of fir U
small thing. A pressure of tha foot will pat It
out, breath will extinguish it. .Yet it may
fire a powder mill, or kindle a Cam taat wAl
consume a city. Ia like manner indlgestionf
may produce gastritis, cancer of tha stomach,
congestion of tba bowels, apoplexy, liver dis
ease, and many other dangerous maladies, la
it not wise, then, to check it in tba germ?
Nothing Is mora clearly and indisputably estab
lished than that Hrstetfcer's Stomach Bitters will 1
eradicate dyspepsia in ail its stages. Tba tru.'
po icy, however, is to extinguish it in tba first
stages with this wholesome, powerful, and infal
lible to tic and alterative. It is easier to qasnch
spark tban a flame, and it ia easier to eora
dyspepsia when it is first developed, than wbea
it ba made beaiway by neglect, and beeemw
complicated with other ailments. There is not
the shadow of a doubt that tba bitters are as
directly antagonistic to dyspepsia aa water if tar
fire. There are thousands of ease on record
pro"fng this fact. . The remedy U safe and
agreeable. All the liqnors of commerce pre
scribed as stimulants leave atisg behind. Bat '
tba sting is taken ant of the spirituous basis of
this great remedy by vegetable medication, and,
moreover, the stimulant thus medicated is of
exceptional parity.. Of all tonics taken as
safeguards or remedies for (ever and ago, bd
l'u remittents, and other epidemics, it ia tha'
only one taat can nniforroiy ba depended on.
