TEE CIFICUL PAPER FOR OREGON
, KJUU3AD KEETIXQ.
There will be a meeting of the citi-
ten of Linn county at the Court House,
la AlWtny, on Tuesday, April 2, at
o'clock P. M., to devise ways and means
fer constructing the proposed railroad
. between Albany and Brownsville. Let
everybody interested attend the meeting
and assist by their counsel and substance
this most important of all our local en
terprise.
IB btttOTKlTIC CU B MEKTIXC.
The Club meeting at the Court House
on Thursday night of last week was
largely attended some three hundred
persons being present. After being
called to order by the President, M. V.
Brown, Judge Bonham proceeded to ad
dress the meeting in a clear, logical,
forcible argument in behalf of Deni
cratic principles. The Judge is not an
eloquent speaker, but his good sense,
sound judgment and admirable reason
ing powers render him a most interest-
in talker and rive sreat weight to
whatever he has to say. His s;eecB
was enthusiastically received and made
an excellent impression on his large
audience. At the conclusion of his
speech J adge Burnett, of Benton cs-un
ty, appeared upon the stand and deliv
ered a speech ef one hour, holding the
audience spell-bound with his logic and
eloquence. He has evidently made the
'financial' question his study, for he
showed himself most complete master
of its details, and the different phases
which it has assumed in the history of
the station. The greenback question
was handled with a tact and skill most
flattering to the speaker, and his argu
ments upon that question more than
ever served to convince his hearers of
the folly of leaving the Democratic par
ty to accomplish relief by that financial
system. At the conclusion of Judge
Burnett's speech, Mr. TV. R. Bilyeu, of
Scio, delivered a brief but eloquent ad
dress, in which he evinced the fact to
his hearers that, though quite a young
man, he was thoroughly posted and
fully able to vindicate the policy and
principles of the Democratic party at
all times. Each of the speakers were
from time to time enthusiastically ap-
plaaded, and at times the house fairly
shook with storms of applause.
It was a grand meeting a glorious
Democratic revival, and one which will
count at the June election.
M AUUST AX BKOW5SVIM.E U. B.
Much interest is now being manifest
ed in the project of building a narrow
gauge railroad to span the 22 miles of
distance between this city and Browns
ville,' and so far as we have observed
the proposition meets with general fa
vor. There is no question of the ad
vantages to be derived from this road.
It will traverse a section of the richest
agricultural country in the world, which
at present is comparatively devoid of
transportation facilities. As the ground
between the initial points is a perfectly
level plain, the cost of grading would
be comparatively nothing, and the roil
ing stock, if it could be put on auxi
liary to that of the Yaquina Bay road,
(which Albany is bound to have,) would
eost almost a nominal figure. Many
citizens and farmers adjacent to this
proposed road are willing to aid liber
ally to secure its completion, and all
that is required is concert of action and
active leaders to secure the road at an
early day. We hope Albany will" not
bo backward in tHis movement, as its
interests are undoubtedly equal if not
paramount to thoss of any other Motion
interested.

The Benton County Democratic Con
vention was held at Corvallis. last
Wednesday, with the largest attendance
ef delegates ever known in the county.
The utmost harmony and good feeling
pervaded the deliberations of the Con
vention, and the following excellent
ticket was nominated :
For State Senator, John Bui net t ;
For Represenatives, John T. Hughes,
H. Green, Wm. Burgett ; For County
Judge, W. S. McFadden ; For Clerk,
W. T. Webber; For Sheriff, J. D. John
ton ; For Treasurer, Thos. Graham ;
For Assessor, Jacob Modie ; For Coun
ty Commissioners, Hugh Herrun and
John Priest ; For Surveyor, J. W.
Webber ; For Coroner, Dr. J. 11. Bay

. The Polk county TUdi met in con
vention last Friday, and after resolving
in favor of specie resumption and other
bond-holding dogmas, they nominated
for R-vresentatives, J. D. Lee, F. S.
Powell and Captain Lafollet ; for Coun
ty Judge,. Wm. Dawson; for County
Clark, Linville. The Convention
then adjourned till the next day to hunt
up a suitable candidate for Sheriff, but
who they managed to resurrect for that
lamentable and hopeless mission the de
ponent saith not.

THE DLOt RiTIC PBIMABIES.
On the 30th instant (one week from j
to-niorrow) the Democracy of Linn will
holi their primaries for the purjxSse of
electing delegates to the County Con
vention, and we earnestly urge upon
the party the importance of a full at
tendance. On the character of the del
egates to tho County Convention the
ticket to be nominated for county offices
will largely depend. It is therefore the
duty of every member of the party to
attend the primery and cast his vote for
men of known resjcctability and stand
ing in the community, who do not go
to the Convention as the representative
of any particular individual, but as in
telligent and honest exponents of tie
will of the members of the party col
lectively. The fact is, there is entirely
too much strife engendered over the
two or three paying offices in the coun
ty, to the detriment of the ticket and
the dauiago of the party. The great
mass of the Democrats do not care the
toss of a copper about anybody's jmr
sonnl claim, nor have they any mrtic-
ular objection to any one of fair stand
ing ; all that they do want is a good
ticket, representing t he Democratic par
ty snd it3 principles a ticket composed
of men for whom they can vote with
confidence.
A fair and honest primary is the first
stop toward good government, and that
we believe the Democracy of Linn ex
pect to have next Saturday. They seem
to feel and know their power, and
they intend to exercise it. To this
no candidate or friend of any candidate
can object. To accomplish this result
the Democrats of Linn will turn out to
the primary en masse and vote for men
whose first object will be the welfare of
the party and for the best interests of
the county. It is worse than idle when
the ticket is nominated to camplain of
it if one stays at home and shirks his
plain duty when, as is now the case,
the opportunity is open, to him to act
and impress his ideas upon delegates
who are to form the nominating con
vention. We write thi with the view
of drawing attention to the great im
portance of a primary election, and if
possible to bring out a full vote. We
do not think there would be a murmur
of complaint on the part of anyone now
before the people for a nomination, if
he failed to receive it at the hands of
delegates chosen as is here recommend
ed. We hope the delegates will be tin
pledged, and that the dominating idea
of the Convention will be from first to
last the welfare of the Democratic par
ty, disregarding the claims of any per
son whose success will not promote the
interests of the party.
KECKLESS IWESifflV.
The fellow who wrote up for the Si;
lew Statesman that account of our last
Democratic Club meeting should either
inflate his brain-pan with a little com
mou sense or cultivate, his bump of ve
racity. He says Judge Bonham "ridi
culed the Greenback movement," when
the very reverse was the ca3e. He
treated it with more respect aud eonsid
eration than any Radical has ever done,
urging most earnestly upon its followers
the importance of a unity of action
with the Democracy to secure the ends
desired by each party.
The Statesman writer also puts Judge
Burnett down a3 "President of a Green
back Club at Corvallis ;" This is a most
ignorant assertion or a malicious false
hood. The Judge k President of the
Corvallis Democratic Club, and is labor
ing with his earnest brain and eloquent
tongue in behalf of the good old cause,
and will lead the Democratic hosts of
Benton to a glorious victory in J une.
The Statesman writer will learn that
wilful misrepresentation and palpable
falsehood will do more harm than good
to the rotten ami fast decaying cause
of Radicalism in Oregon.
-HOXET JOHN- El ttNETT.
Last Wednesday the Democratic Con
vention of Benton county unanimously
nominated Hon. John Burnett for State
Senator. This is the best nomination
that could jiossibly have been made.
Capa'.ie, able, and above all, honest in
even thing he does, Judge Burnett is
the k ride of the people of Benton coun
ty, :i'iJ his election is so certain that it
is doubtful if the Benton county Radi
cals can find a man who will be so fool
ish as to run against him.
Whoopee ! Hurrah for Honest John
Burnett !
This is just the same as finding a
Democratic Senator in Benton !

The fallow who wrote Hiram Smith's
puff in the Orejoman of last Monday
has a funny way of putting forth Hi.'s
qualifications. Hear him :
'A a btuine-v man of ability and undoaMoJ in
tegrity, Mr. Smith b well and unfavorably known."
For a left-handed jolt or a dig under
the belt that would do first-rate, but as
a laudatory puff it is about the worst
we ever saw. Such recommends as that
would kill off a fellow quicker than a
iiitro-glycerine explosion.

and Rev. P. S. Knight who writes

of their initials and the consequent con
founding of their several occupations.
HBAI MAKES HAB IIKE.. f
When the magnificent scheme ef is-
ung bonds tor the redemption ot the
1 iMil.lin flalif. v firsf. lirnnpVtil Vv onlnH
it was considered a glorious idea. Now
this is how it works : the bondholders
have become non-producers, many of
them have sold their interest in their
factories, aud put the proceeds in bonds,
and have abandoned all other business,
for that of sitting still, and like vam
pires drawing the life blood from the
people, in the way of interest on bonds.
It might not bo so bad if they took this
interest even, and put it to use, so the
people could get hold of it again, but
they don't do that, they, go and buy
more bonds, Hence it is in the nature of
compound interest, iuterest upon inter
est, forever eating into the substance of
the people. Such a system as this con
tinued for twenty years would ruin the
country. There has always been a ma
jority in both Houses of Congress to
vote down any measure proposing taxa
tion of the.se bonds. The moment tmch
action is mooted the bondholders cry,
No ! these bonds are Forbidden Fruit ;
we bought them with the understanding
that they were never to bo taxed, and
it would be bad faith now to break this
system. However heavy the burden is
to the people, it must be carried. Yet
if they bought them with this under
standing it is evident they bought them
with the understanding they wero never
to bo redeemed. Although they can be
redeemed by putting at work the ma
chinery in the U. S. Treasury depart
ment at Washington, making green
backs and redeeming the bonds there
with it being-the same currency with
which they were bought. If iiot as
good as gold the greenbacks are as good
as bonds, for the government that is
good for the bonds is good for the green
backs. But, says the bondholder, you
cannot take my bonds, which were to
be paid in gold, aud give me greenbacks
which are not worth as much, dollar for
dollar, as gold. Yet without inakiin;
war on the bondholders this can be
done, say, by throwing in a scoopful
more or less, and making it equal to
gold, for it is not right that they shall
stand forever blocking the wheels of in
dustry and preventing the progress and
prosperity of the people. At the pres
ent rate one thing is certain, either tbey
will never be redeemed, but will go on
drawing interest till they quadruple in
re-payment the price for which they
were bought, or they will have to be
taxed, the taxes being paid in green
backs, which will even then diminish
their gold-born interest so slight that
they will remain, as now, stagnant but
desirable investments. Supposing the
bonds are redeemed and the bondholder
has tho greenbacks instead of the bonds,
he desires at once to invest the money
aud obtain interest, therefore he says :
"It will not do for me to keep them
locked up in the safe, producing noth
ing." And so he is compelled to do
something besides cutting off coupons.
He must go to manufacturing, agricul
ture or in some other line of business
where his hoarded wealth will do the
people some good, and in which he will
be compelled to call on the toiling mass
es for their services. Ho will say to
the people, "you have been idle long
enough. Come here aud I will give
you something to do. I have the cap
ital and you have the bono and sinew.
Come and aid me in this enterprise and
I will divide with you. All I want is
to get a fair interest for my capital and
you may have all the rest." Where is
the laborer that will not come on that !
Now by such a remedy as this every
man, woman ami cbild would be em
ployed. As it now remains, the toiling masses
have the interest of the bends to pay,
in consequence of which the country
has become impoverished. This is what
makes times hard.
"LOTE'S LIBOR LOST."
Hie Democratic Times savs au at
tempt is being mado to infect Jackon
county with tho greenback fever, but
it is destined as aborative. The Dem
ocracy of this section take no stock in
that incorrigible fraud, Brick Pomeroy,
and his fallacies, and are not inclined
to waste their votes on an affair so asi
nine and causeless. The leaders of this
greenback fiasco expect to profit there
by, and in this State Mitchell and hijs
flunkies, per Edmunds, Smith &, Co.,
are the moving spirits in tho humbug.
We trust none are susceptible enough to
be caught by the chaff they may throw
out.
The immediate effect of the passage
of the silver bill on the London Market,
was to advance the price of United
States londs. Now what have the op
ponents of tho bill to say Does it
injure the credit of our government to
have our bonds go upjn price on foreign
'changes? Iu the light of this gratifying
fact, the people will perceive that the
gold organs of this country have been
grossly deceiving thein as to the effects
of the bill, or else pretended to a wis
dom that they did not possess.

. That sterling Democratic paper, the
Sonoma (Cat.) Democrat, is justly in
dignant because some Radical nose-rag
asserts that "the Democratic party is
not tho friend of tho workingmen of

lowing unanswerable propositions :
Who opposed the eoiiunuing of the
slave trade, in the framing of the Fed
eral Constitution ? The Democracy of
Virginia, North aud South, Carolina,
Georgia, aud all of the Southern portion
of the then Thirteen colonies.
Who defeated the Federal party, with
its measures for an elec'ive monarchy
projierty qualification for the right of
franchise, and its "Alien and Sedition

the lead of Jefferson aud his co-patriots.
Who defeated and rendered nugatory

out the States, with the money out of
the Federal treasury, for the controlling
of the elections, etc.! The Democratic

THF. AK1 SAW.
The Democratic parly ii accused of
insincerity and inconsistency iu its pres
ent financial views, as expressed by
Voorltees, Pendleton, Thurman nnd oth
er leaders, when the fact is, the Democ
racy is the most consistent of any of
the parties, and adheres strictly to the
text and the record made ten years ago.
The Democratic National Platform of
1868 declared as follows :
8. Where the ohllgationfl of the Government do uot
expressly atate uiou thoir face, or where the law undor
which they were iaaucd does not provide they shall be
paid in coin, they ring-lit in Right and Justice to be

6. One currency for the Government and the Peo
ple, the Laborer and the OlHco Holder, the Pensioner
and the Soldier, the Producer aud the Bondholder.
And on this issue the Democracy of
Oregon instructed its delegates to the
National Democratic Convention to vote
for Hon. Geo. II. Pendleton for Presi
dent he being the apostle of this doc

In view of this record we ask who

and kept dark all day. He lectured
this evening at St. Patrick' Hall to an
audience of about 150; The streets
and vicinity were crowded by a mob.
rive companies of the Queens Own
and four of the 10th Rjyuls were mut
tered quietly in the drill shod a hun
dred yards from the hall. The moment
gas was turned on in the hall the mob
outside opened fire with stones, and a
perfect shower was rained in the win
dows until the theater closed, at 9:30.
Not a pane of bIubs was left. Rossa
stopped several times, and one of the
audience proposed they should charge
down stairs and out. This was over
ruled, and the audience waited in dark
ness for the mob to disperse. At 10:15
Rossa stole quietly out to King street
and passed unobserved Into the crowd,
and the audience got out in twos and
threes after lnm.
Later, 19tb, 2 A. M. Shortly after
midnight the mob advanced up to Queen

The crowd insid answered with revolvers
and the rioters returned the fire. Hun
dreds of shots were exchanged and
stones poured into the hotel. The win

strong charged the mob and wielded
their batons with great vigor. Four
men were shot, one young f rotostant
named James Clegg, it is feared, fatally,
Meantime another mob a thousand

All our readers will remember the
story of the King and his sons. He
being upon his death bed, and wishing
to impress indelibly this truth, that in
union there is strength, "bade them to
bundle together a parcel of sticks, and
fasten them with a cord. After they
had done so, he commanded each one to
break them, and each one failed to ac
complish it. He then bade them to
take off the cord, and take the sticks
singly and break them. This was eas
ily aceomplished. When they had fin
ished, he then remarked : " My sons,
in union there is strength."
We can apply this truth in political
matters as well as any other. Just so
long as we remain a unit, just so long
will we be successful.
The Radical party are at this time
doing everything that is possible to dis
rupt our party. They feel the force of
the truth, in union there is strength,
henco they want to break that Unity
Let us stick together, and be not de
ceived by our enemies, by enemies of
good government, by those who care
for nothing but self and pelf. Let us
guard against anything that will have a
tendency to disrupt our own party and
add strength to the enemy. "Behold
how good aud how pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity.
