WIU l Uti DO IT t
Will our Democratic Greenback
friends throw away their votes this year,
and Jim jive aid and comfort to that
Great National Gold Bug, the Radical
party, or will they remain true to the
only consistent greenback j:arty the
Democracy, with whom their interests
for life Lave been identified, and to
which their faith, devotion aatl fealty
Las always been pledged 1 This i3 an
important question, and should be calm
ly weighed by the honest Greenback
votei-s. No liombastic rpeeches or high
Bounding newspajser talk should swerve
them from a calm, careftil consideration
of this subject. In the first )lace they
cannot hope to elect anybody in either
the c mnty, the Legislature or the State.
Hense the Republican party, by getting
them to throw their vo'.es against the
D moorac',', are sim;ly tialm; them as
ca.'s-;awg to rake tho bondholder's and
gold speculator's chestnuts from the fire.
Is it j-ossible that men are so blind that
they cannot see this thing?
There are p'.rhaps 150 Democrats in
Linn county that will rote the Green
back ticket, and many of them are de
!u led into the idea that their Repub
lican neighbors will do the same thing.
But in this they are most wofully hum
bugged unless they watch those fellows
and see that they vote on the square.
It does seem that the Democrats of
Linn, after having been so egregionslv
"sniped" on the Peter Cooper business,
would not again trust these hypocritical
feilows ; but sometimes it requires a
long and patient experience, dearly
bought, to convince persons of human
treachery, in politics as well as in other
affairs of life.
We desire to impress u;m every
Greenback Democrat in Liiin county
the absolute fact that when they cast
their vote on the first Monday in J une
for that most hopeless affair, the Green
back ticket, they are assisting to fasten
the bondholder's collar about their
necks, and are voluntarily folding their
hands for the golden fchackle which they
pretend to abhor.
THE CANVASS IS LIXS.
Xext Monday our county candidates
enter on the campaign, beginning at
Tangent. We trust the people will
turn out at the various points on the
hustings, and beat the vital political
questions of the day discussed. The
Democracy have nothing to fear from
these forensic to'.:! r:!;uj(.uts, as our stand
ard bearers are fully able to vindicate
tho principles and policy of the party.
A TIZZLE.
There wa3 nobody to hear Hendrix
at the Court House yesterday, hence he
didn't talk. He isevidently completely
disgusted with this failure, and will
d .ul.tlcf s abandon the foolish and une
qual contest riion which he has entered-
Portland taisof t elebrating " deco
ration day," May 31st. Better wait
till after June 3rd and then include the
political graves of the Oregon Radicals
in the same performance.
st v.vo in to a t uiuiu.
As wa have some Democrats in Linn
who talk of scratching on the Legisla
tive ticket, we desire to again remind
them, as we have dono heretofore, that
we have an U. S. Senator to elect this
fall, and the importance of securing
every Democratic Legislator possible
should not be overlooked. The Repub
licans of Linn are "laughing-in their
sleeves" at tho hope of beating a Dem
ocratic member or two froin Linn, and
no true Democrat should give them any
such encouragement as this.
Will Democrats forget tb great
Presidential steal to which J. II. Mitch
ell was a party t Will they forgot that
the Republicans only have one majority
in the United States Senate, and (hat
one is Mitchell 1 Will they forgot that
by reversing that one vote to tho Dem
ocratic column we will have a majority
in both branches of that great national
legislative body, and that Oregon will
have the proud prestige of having ac
complished that glorious rosult ?
What is a little family quarrel among
ourselves as Democrats in Linn county
compared to such a grand result as this?
Suppose we should have another
Presidential count in 1880, do the
Democrats want Mitchell back there,
with his past experience in that line, to
assist in manipulating another Radical
Presidential steal ?
We have had in the past, and always
will have some little family quarrel in
our party about Convention time, en
gendered by strife over local offices, but
as Democrats we should now bury those
troubles and as heartily support the
tickft as if our own particular choice
were placed upon it. We should now
stand 'shoulder to shoulder and boot
top to boot-top and while at the Con
vention we may have worked only for
men, we should now work for principle
as; well as for men.
Wo hope Democrats will carefully
ponder these things, and we have no
fear, ef th result when the vote is
counted.
DOST USB IT AT ALL.
The Ortgonian won't stand the Mitch
ell ticket in Multnomah, and thinks it
ought to be beaten. In its leading edi
t jrial in relation to that ticket and the
manner of its nomination by Mitchell's
tools, that paper says : " The Republi
can party ought to have been spared
the effort, so offensive to many of its
members, to push matters so far in the
interest of one man and his corps of
personal adherents. To tho managers
themselves the mistake is likely to be
apparent when the vote is counted. In
local affairs there has not been for sev
eral years any great Republican major
ity in Multnomah to be discounted or
trifled with. It is useless fot those who
have been setting tip the game as far as
they have been able, or as far as tbey
dared, to appeal to all Republicans to
vote for every candidate for the Legis
lature without inquiry, and settle the
Senatorial question afterwards ; because
they knew that sinister purposes and
underhand methods hae in many cases
produced the nominations, and feel in
consequence that they are called to par
ticipate in a game in which, by prior
manipulation, every chance is held
against them. Tha Democrats
will now come into the field with a bet
ter chance for at least partial success

TBE TM1.W FIXED.
Triffc to the Mitchell programme
which the Orejonian previously an
nounced, the Multnomah Custom House
Ring last Saturday publicly proclaimed
the following ticket : For State Sen
ator, Sol. Hirsch ; for Representatives,
L. B. Stearns, P. Kelly, Jas. Bennett,

IX DESPAIR.
The Linn Rads are in despair. They
can't find any Democrat who will so far
foraet his duty to his party and devo
tion to principle as to trade off any part
of our Legislative ticket.
Of course that lets out the last hope
of Radical success in Linn, as their only
show was to work up trouble and dis
cord on some part of our ticket, and by
ttacking the weak spot, slip some one
of
their fellows in. But the trick
wouldn't scour ; the Democratic lines In
Old Linn are unbroken, and she will
his year roll np at least 250 majority
for the whole ticket.
"O.VT FOBCET IT."
The Salem Mercury says Hon. J. J.
Whitney, Democratic candidate for
Prosecuting Attorney,- is making a can
vass in the counties on the west side of
the river, and is making hosts of friends
at every point. Mr. Whitney is one ol
those men whom everybody is bound to
like -when they know him, as ho is thor
ougbly competent for the office and is
above reproach for any cause, he is sure
of air election. We shall have a Dem
ocratic Prosecuting Attorney this time,
and ion't you forget it.

Dallas, Ogn., May 11, 18T8.
Editor Democrat :
So long as the clergy attend to their
divinely appointed work, preaching the
gospel, and "visiting from house to
house," I have not a word to say, ex
cept in their praise for the noblo lives
they live; lives ravered by every good
citizen of all lands. But, when they
turn from this, forgetting God and en
listing under the banner of Ca'sar, that
they may Bhare tho booty of his con
quests, I must be pardonsd if I say
some hard things; and more especially,
when I say with the pen, only what
they have said with their tongues or
performed with their hands.
If there is one class of men more on
earth, which I honor above another, it
is the clergy of the Methodist Church,
who have forsaken so much for the good
of others. . Earth knows iio nobler man
than the Methodist minister, who fol
lows in the footsteps of his divine
leader; nor does it know a more pitiable
object than the Methodist who has
turned his back upon that divine leader,
unless it is one who looks Him full in
the face and says "I know him not."
Now let me ask, what has Rev, II.
K. Hines done? What relation does
he sustain to his divine Master? Has
he foi-gotten his ministerial vows, more
sacred by far than were ever imposed
on any other class of men? Is it pos
sible he can stand upon a political ros
trum with a remembrance of these vows
ever ringing in his ears? J udas could
riot endure the remorse of conscience
welling up from his denial and so
hanged himself; and yet he had played
no dasher part for thirty pieces of sil
ver, than Rev. H. K. Hines has done.
Do you doubt this? If so turn with
me to the rote he toot, when ho first
applied for license to preach.
.In the Methodist Discipline vou will
find:
Question 1. "'How shall we try tho whi profess
to be moved by the Holy Spirit to prcachf
Answer. Let the following questions bo asked,
namely:
''Dothey know God as a pardoning God! Have
the? the love of God abiding in thimT '1H thev de
sire nothing but Godr And are they holy in all'man
neraf conversation?'
Mr. Hines took these vows, and in
the presence of God and nn assembled
annual Conference promised "he troulJ
know nothing but God," and forgettiug
all things else cleave only to his high
calling. One of two things must be
true the logic is inevitable, he was
never moved by the Holy Spirit to
preach, and foreswore himself when he
took the vows of consecration, or Judas
like, he has fallen from grace.
And now let me ask is it possible
that the ministers of the Methodist
Church will support this man in his
race for Congress? Will they by sus
taining hiin, offer a premium for minis
terial apostacy? or will they denounce
his conduct as unbecoming a christian
minister, and rebuke him at the polls!
We wilt see. , Mr. Acton, it would
seem, regrets tie conduct of his brother,
but will he tell us whether or no he
will aid in his election?
It may be Mr. Acton regards the
success of the Republican party vast
ly more important than the success of
me cause 01 tiirist, Out i fcnow one
member of both tiie party and the
church, who will neither vote for Rev
H. K. limes nor again sit under the
sound of his voice as a minister.
And since I have asked Brother Ac
ton a question I will ask him another,
and I expect hint to anstcer it. I ex
pect this because he has free access to
the Journals of his Conference, and
can answer at once and correctly.
Was not Rev. II. K. Hines suspended
from the ministry, "for wars that are
dark and tricks that are mean ?" Was
there not a little "pig" transaction in
which the Rer. II. K. Hines came as
near being "drowned" as the devil at
the time "the herd of swine ran vio
lently down a steep place into the seal"
Again, did not Rev. II. K. Hines sell
to his brother in the church, Mr. Chas.
Adams, a house and lot in Salem, and
represent the same free from all encum
brances, when he had just a short time
before mortgaged it for "00 ? Did not
this wilful, unblushing falsehood cause
Mr. Adams to lose near 1 ,000, and,
counting the "hogs" in, near $1,500 ?
Now, if my memory serves me right,
and I think it does, it was this "hog
and mortgage business" that caused the
suspension of Rev. H. K. Hines from
the ministry ? If so, will you just tell
us about this ? I know he was sus
pended, and if not for this, then he is
guilty of something else for which l.e
was suspended.
Come, Brother Acton, as votei-3 we
want to know all about Rev. II. K.
Hines. The journals of the Confer
ence are open to you ; will you tell us
just what they say about this gentle
man (?) and his susfiension from the
Methodist ministry.

Remarks the Christian Messenex, at Monmouth :
"There are twenty-five Southern Methodists in con
gress. Mart. Brown, of the Albany Democrat, should
(low write up the proceedings of our national confer
ence, as he is in the business."
Yes, but we can't do the subject jus
tice in that way. None of those twenty-Eve
are preachers, and being Con
gressmen they are unfit for preachei-s.
Every man has, or should have, some
sort of religion, and if he is a good
preacher he ought to stick to that high
calling, and if he isn't a gcod preacher
he hasn't sense enough to go to Con
gress. D'ye see it ?

The Republican candidate for Gover
nor, C. C. Beekman, is supposed to be a
wealthy man, and we believe he is, but
as the most of his wealth is invested in
San Francisco, it docs not appear on
tho assessment rolls. Tho nmotint for
which ho was assessed last year is. as
follows:
3rt0 acret of land valuod at. .
Value of city lots
Value of improvement
Money, notes and accounts.
Uougchuld furniture
1 horse ,'
1 head of cattle
8 4,W)0 IS)
WOO 00
1.SH0 00

DUO OS
75 00
15 00
Gross value of property 2,520 00
Amount o. indebtedness and property ex
empt 7,lt4 00
Total value of taxable property $15,3:W 00
Now this assessment appears all right
enough on its luce, and is a matter
which is nobodys business, perhaps, if
it were not for another little iti-m which
does not show in thii statement. Mr.
Beekman draws' from the State Treas
ury yearly tho sum of 1,400 as inter
est on Modic War Bonds. These bonds
bear seven per cent, interest, and con
sequently he must havo invested in
these bonds the sum of $20,000. Ol
course this amount cannot be included
in the sum charged above as "money,
notes and accounts," as that item is
only placed at 14,630, and it is hardly
possible to get $20,000 out of a less
sum. We can't quite see how these
bonds on which he regularly draws in
terest are exempt from taxation, but
perhaps they ar a sort of "floating"
bonds, and float over the Hue into Cali
fornia about the time the Assessor is
around. We also have it on good au
thority thut Mr. Beckrmm owns 1 5,000
worth of Douglas County Wagon Road
Bonds, or what is known as the "Black
Mud Swindle," which it is probable also
have floated around in such manner
that the Assessor never knows of their
existence. We also w ish to inquire il
the item of 3G0 acres of land given
above is the half section up Jackson
creek, which Mr. Beekman made oath
was more valuable for agricultural than
mining purjoses, and which every citi
zen of Jackson county knows would not
support a jack-rabbit six months in the
year, and is not worth S t 50 for agri
cultural purposes. This ground is sup
posed to contain valuable mines, and in
order to get a patent to it "Beek" had
to make oath as above, and if it has
any value at all it is for mining pur
poses. Possibly this half section of
mineral land purchased as agricultural
land is not the one assessed above for
$4,500. But these matters properly
rest with the Assessor and "Beek's"
conscience, and if thev are satisfied we
suppose the people should be. "Beek"
is a success as a broker and monef
lender, and is doing such a good busi
ness iu that line that the people of Ore
gon won't feel like asking him to aban
don it for the ioor pittance of a Gov
ernor's salary; besidtsyif he were obliged
to stuy here iu Salem he wouldn't have
so good an opportunity for looking after
his swamp lands in Lake county.

Tho Radical papers assert that Rev.
Hines is an able preacher, but no politi
cian. Well, if ho is a good preacher he
ought to stick to it, for goodness knows
there is a marked scarcity of that sort
of material in Oregon. And if ho is
not a politician he has no business in
Congress, where men must necessarilv
be more or less posted in the intricate
mazes of political machinery to succeed
iu accomplishing any good for their
constituency.
The people of Oregon have too much
sense to spoil a good preacher to make
a ijor Consressman and therefote
Bro.. Hines will be allowed to remain
on his local circuit.

Editor Democrat : '
Tho "crewel" Democrats of Lake

principles animating them, and their
own time-hoMotd iov.s nerving them
to action uiifc iu council (convention)
to-day, and said by their words and ac
tions that they no longer intended that
Republicans t'.ionld r-.-igu in and rule
over this land of ours, in either County,
State or Nation. What do they mean
Why will they persist in such conduct
just as "greenbrtx," for which we long
have hungered, are gettiug so near par?
rrom their action here to-day comes
"the winter of our discontent" the
hour of our sorrow, or, as your old
friend J. H. Evans, Land Office Regis
ter here, puts it, "tho glorious summer
of our much uneasiness," because of
this persistence on the part of ye Dem
ocrats in alarming and declaring that
"our side" has had the offices fully Jong
enough for the good of the land. As
for me, I am fully prepared to exclaim
in the fullness of my heart : Gentle
men, take the offices if you will, but
leave us th salaries; take "the offices
ail except that of President. We
must hold to that this four years out,
as we need it in carrying on our busi
ness witli the Territories, Indian Agen
cies, Custom Houses, ic (For the
Postoffice Department we are not car

Here are the men that these unkind
Democrats, of Lake say shall keep

sought in the county : For Represent

Snelling. No nomination was made for
Corouer. They said they would give
us that office. We will take him in

First Did you scratch all the tein

Third Tell us how much land you

If the Methodist Conference ticket
should win it would he a good thing for
that religious-element iu Oregon. A
tax could be levied on the jieople of the
State to pay off the debt on that ?40,

Methodist University at the Capital
All else that would be necessary to
complete the glory of the M. E. Zion
would be to elect a Wesleyan Legisla
ture and have a law passed exempting
the members and property of that church
in Oregon from taxation ; and then the
millenial needn't come at all.

Bro. Harvey K. iiines will in all
probability be a "thoroughbred" by the
time ho gets through the campaign, if
be is not already; There is scarcely a
Christian in the State but laments the
disgrace cast upon the church by the
action of Brother Hines. The East
Orejonian publishes his return to Pen
dleton as follows : Parson Hines ar
rived in town yesterday. He says ha
is a candidate for Congress ; claims that
ho has been in several Methodist Con
ferences ; is at present presiding elder
of the Grand Ronde and Boise district,
and is generally a bully boy with a
glass eyo, in his own estimation a
"whole team and little dog tinder the
wagon." He and Pendleton's Handy
man met a few of the faithful and held
a kind of love feast at the office of the
"Little Waif." As the Handy man is
a dispenser of the "O' be joyful," it is
said champagne flowed freely, and we
have even heard it intimated that the
Parson's religious scruples were so far
laid aside that even he became very
much elated, but of course the Parson
only used it in the way of administer
ing the sacrament. The better part of
his own church at this place discarded
him as a "wolf in sheep's clothing," and
charge bim with " stealing the livery of
heaven to serve the devil in."

OS THE TTI5C.
A certain Portland job printar, who
is doubtless in with Carter on the State
work, went up to Corvallis last week,
and after wrestling with Billy over
night, spirited him away to Eastern
Oregon or somewhere, and of course
great results will be expected from the
trip. We would advise Billy, however,
to take up a ranche while he is in the
bunch grass region, as Teny Noltner
will not care to employ him on the State
work none but first-class mechanics
lieing needed.
A BIStOVERT.
A certain self-reliant candidate on
the Republican ticket of Linn, who is a
strict temperance man when among that
sort, and who sometimes boasts that he
neither fears God, whisky or the devil,
has been recently canght "setting 'em
up for the boys, and taking a " wee
drap of the crather" himself, and now
some of the immaculate of his party
say he is a wolf in sheep's clothing aud
must go the way of the ungodly. .
"Tuff," isn't it ?
IT WOST SCOIR."
We understand the Mitchell Rads of
Linn have agreed to concentrate all
their forces in attempting to elect Ma
rion Cunningham to the Legislature,
knowing that he can be relied on as
"solid" for the Senatorial R. R. attor
ney ; but the anti-Hippleitcs are on the
keen hcent of these fellows, have their
weather eyo open, and don't propose
that their candidates shall bo slaugh
tered in Mitchipple's interest.
TO OI R SIBSCRIKERS) 1.1 LIS.
There will be a representative of the
Democrat establishment with the coun
ty canvassers who stait on the hustings
next week, and we hojio our friends
who owe us will be prepared to pay up
on their accounts, as we are greatly in
need of the "wherewith" just now.
Please don't forget this when you at
tend the meetings.
"POOLl"
The boys say they expect to beat the
Radical candidate for County Judge of
Marion county. They have already fig
ured him down to one majority (" Pee
bles' hoi,") and think they can make
him "bust" on the next shot.
"A RICHMOND IX THE FIELD."
E. C. Edmunds has decided that Rev.
Mr. Casapbell shall not withdraw. We
suppoao that settles the matter, as Ed
munds owns the whole Greenback out
fit Bro. Campbell included.
GOVERSOB THATLR.
Remember that Hon. W. W. Thayer,
he next Governot of Oregon, will speak
in this city next Tuesday. Our friends
may expect a good speech, and we look
for a general good turnout.
THE CANVASS.
Gov. Whiteaker and Rev. Hines will
hold a joint discussion at the Court
House in this city to-day at 1 p. m.
Remember tho time and place, and give
them a rousing house.
About the funniest thing out is the
nomination of Sol. Hirsch, of Multno

for the State ' Senate 1 Isn't Sol. a

CSASCE PIC.VIC. J
We learn from a friend that there is
to be an immense gathering of the
Grangers on the Fair Grounds at Salem
on Friday, tho 7th day of June. Hon.
John II. Smith has been invited to de
liver an address, and a "way up" time
is expected. The picnic is to be held
under the auspicts of the Pomona
Grange of Marion county. It is the
intention to have trains run from
Eugene down and from Portland up.
Albany Democrat.
We learn from Hon. J. n. Smith,
that notices of place where tickets can
be had, will be given in next week's
nucleus. The price of tickets for the
round trip from Hair.sburgand Ilalssy,
$1 75 ; from Shedd, Tangent, and Al
bany, 1 50 ; Millers, $1 25. Social
rates have been made with tho Clieme
keta hotel for those who do not wish to
carry lunch with them. Ilarrisburj
Nucleus.
And now prances forth into the jour
nalistic arena a new cladiator the
Portland Labor Gazette, edited by Prof.
W. H. Chaney. It supports Messrs.
Whiteaker, Thayor and Stites on the
Democratic State ticket, and Earhart,
Hirsch and Carter on the Republican
aide. We can't see why it could not
support Reames, Brown and Noltncr,
as they have surely been as active work-
ingmen, and have all through their
lives been the true and steadfast friends
of the laboring elates.
The Labor Gazette, in teac and senti
ment, is a great improvement on Ed
munds' abortion, the Labor World.
