One thing is certain ther might go fur a far worse man, but if they have to wait until they are elected they will never go for anyone. Almost every Democrat with whom we have conversed ia in favor of adopt ing the civa voce system of voting at the coming County Convention. It is the only way to prevent dissatisfaction with the result of the Convention's work. Remember that the Democrratic pri maries will be held at the various vot ing places in this county one week from to-morrow Saturday, May Gth, at 1 'clock. Do not fail to attend. Be on hand to secure good delegates tz the County Convention. Lis). County had four candidates in the late Republican State Convention "scooped." One of the delegates re marked to ns when he came home : "I don't care a cent Theylet ns down easy. We did get a member of the State Central ommittc." The Republicans of this District will rue the day they failed to nominate C E. Wolverton for l'rosecating After ey. He would have given Holmes a merry eld wrestle, but now that Piper is nominated the 500 Republican ma jority in thia District will melt away next June like snow before the mid-day sun. That fine little job put up by Rocky Earhart and the two Hirscbes, by sf which Earhart and Ed Hirsch were re nominated, doesn't take with the old wheel-horses of that party who were defeated by their crooked work. Such deep scheming in politics will not al ways win. Sheriff Charltox's re-election is being strenuously opposed by quite a number of leading Republicans, and he will not have the the easy time of it he did two years h"--. The Democrats have ten candidates tochoose from, and we believe any of them can "put the screws" to Mr. t'karlten this year. The Republican State Convention met at Portland last week and ratified the nomination of a ticket which had been made out leng before by the Salem clique and Sol Hirsch, Some of the delegates did not like the idea of being driven about like cattle, but their re sistance to the bosses did not do them any good, and they finally had to sub mit te the Etrhart-Hirsch gracd com bination ticket. W. Reid, Manager of the "Scotch Bank," ''scenteth the battle afar off' and is already flooding the country with circulars showing why mortgages should not be taxed in the counties where they are recorded. He is wasting his paper pd printers ink when he sends those a.ulars to Linn county. Evory Leg islator from this county will bo pledged on that question. At the present time this county is losing taxes on about a half miilioa dollars on account of not having such a law. A come and come soon. change must The nomination of Rev. T. J. Wil son for the Senate by the Republican party has kicked up a terrible rumpus J. B. Irvine was the candidate selected almost by common consent the day be fore the Convention. He claims that his friends made diligent inquiry just before the Convention was called to or der to see if he would have any opposi tion, but none could bo found. Riv. Wilson was then sprung on him in the Convention and was nominated. The latter says he authorized no one to use his name in connection with the nomi nation for the Senate, and did not know he was to be run. But the result is the same Irvine was beaten after the nom ination had been promised him by those in his party who could have given it to him. Such lying as this will produce dissatisfaction in any party. I om v i iiMioor For right down, wilful lying the Orejonian certainly is the bow. Ik is the most unfair and dishonest rag published in Oregon or an f where else. 1 1 makes the statement that the Grovcr Chadwiok administration left a debt on the State of a half million fot the pres ent administration to pay, and it has paid it and built the Insane Asylum besides. AH this has bean done on a levy oi fJ mills while the Democratic administration had but four mills. The fact is no State officers saddled one dol lar of indebtedness on tho State and the Orejonian knows it The farts ate when the extraordinary appropriations were made to build the Penitentiary, &c, for three and four years no extra levy mas ordered by tho legislature to meet them. Hence the ordinary ox pense fund was exhausted upon various demands ordinary and extraordinary leaving the balance of warrants drawn n extraordinary appropriations uupaid which created a debt, though the legis lature was notified of this fact at every session. It was not half a million, nor was it half that sum. After Mr. A. H Brown, State Ireasurer, earns into office every warrant drawn was aid during his term of office. The imlebt edness was fer nnpaid warrants issued prior to h hf term. In 187S, to meet this indebtedness a Democratic legisla tive passed a law giving a three mill tax te pay off these outstanding war rants. When thj preaent adniinittra- . a at ? la. tion came into power ima ueot was nearly all paid oil, leaving nothing but the floating debt of stock bonds, modoc war bonds and swamp land warrants. ButinlSiB nothing was done with this three mill tax law, and a ur plus ..f funds after paying otT old war rants accumulated in the Treasurv. In 1SS0, a law was passed to build an In sane Asylum, and to do this this sur plas money "now in tho treasury" with the act, or which may heieafUr arise from this three mill tax law, shall be used for that purose and ahall 1 known as the "Insane Asvlum Fund." To further carry out the act an a l ii tional levy was ordered to be made in evory countv in the State of ane mill on the dollar, to be set apart and knoi as the "Insane Asylum Fund" for the purpose stated. This insane asylum was to cost $100,000, and no more, exclusive of convict labor. The bill would not have passed it the building would have cost o:ore. The facts are the three mill tax was levied by a Democratic administration, and this debt nearly paid oil before it went out of office. The fact is further patent that the insane asylum was built by the surplus of these funds and the oue mill extra lary. Now if the Demo crats ran the State on the 4 mill tax, what is done with the oh millt. It did not pay a farthing of that State debt. Did it build the asylum? It may in the lump contain the one mill extra levy for the asylum fund, and it can contain no more Vy law. this leaving four and a half miils to run the State. Why that extra half mill. I.t uss- how false the statement of the regmtkm is. Of this 5 mills the law allows but one mill the asylum, and not a farthing for past indebtedness. How then could the ok mills pay off a debt of half a million and pay $100,000 on the asylum, making $000,800. That one mill tax would raise about $50,000 per isnum which for three vears would be $150,000. New we are c:d1yh "leading journal" that the present State officers paid an old Democratic debt of $600,000 with $10,000. This is as near the truth as the Orejonian can get possibly. Now a word about the asylum. Its entire east and outfit was to have been $100,000 and no m-w . A At A more. It lias cast over mat now ane wo are credibly informed it needs 100. 000 more to . complete it. It is the whitest elephant politicians ever drove through a legislative body. It will cost more to keep the insane in this institution than the State now pays for its insane by one third. This fact can not be successfully disputed. If the Ore Jordan wants it a Republican meas ure, it is welcome te it, but to be con sistent in its false statements it should, and perhaps will in a year or two de nounce the State officer as thieves be cause an extra tax was levied to nav a for this white elephant, when in fact those officers had no more to do with the debt than the editor of the Oregon- rt i i i van. lfte legislature is tespoasible, and not the agents who exacute and are con demned for doing it. Thw ia a poor time for the Oregonian to stir up that white elephant We understand that Rv. T. J. Wil son, Republican candidate for the State Senate, will not be here during the canvas as he starts on a triu to the a East in a few days. An effort is being made to have him withdraw from the ticket Wbyisit that this party, which claims to be "a party of moral ideas and advanced political intelligence," always try to horn such a man as Rev. Wilscn off the "political track. They want tlse name of being moral, but they do not want candidates who represent that claf s of society to a positive degree. They never consider themselves well fixtdi until they get a platform in favor of a prohibitory liquor law, end put upon it a lot of candidates, half of whom will take their toddy. It seems that this time they have their temperance plank and too many temperance candidates, and a judicious system of pruning is to be commenced. 101.11 If 1 1 OK 1" II V One thing ia trueot Republicans, and wc admire it. When they are bed-rid den they know it. Just enough of a humbug suits them. And when puahed to the csmor by the aforesaid humbug they resist with tho same offensive spir it that is manifested by a drove of hogs when a strange shoat gets into the band out he must go, dead or alive. Among thoir self-made candidates for Governor was ono Davo Thompson. He has hung on to tho Republican party as tho party of contracts like a leech. This is not David who put Uriah in the front of the battlo to be killed, but like his namesake, he is valiant, and would make hay at any lime whether the sun shone or not, regardless of cost. David conceived the idea of be ing Governor, a grand financial schotue. lie claimed it because he was an inves tigator in 1 873. As such investigator m had that poor old soul, John I loss, investigate himself. Now John was a Brigadier-General under Gov. Graver in the Modoc war, And by virtue of that office signed his name to the correct ness of tho documents and ran the con cern generally. But David had an oye to business, so he got up a report for poor old John to sign and ho signedi it, stating that the officers in that war had defrauded tho State out of over $40,. 000, This made it imoasible to get re lief at Washington, andtheStato auff ered disgrace and delay in her de mands upon the government. Two asr years thereafter a Republican legisla ture wanted to know of the Secretary of State what all this meant. His an swer led to an investigation of David's report, and it was found to be a false hood and so denounced by said Ilepub licau legislature. Neither David nor lloss over replied to the cxjKMmre. Peo ple believed then and am convinced new that David did that trick to alia credit modoc war bonds so that ho could buv them tin at a discount. David's w a acknowledgment under oath that he made $1 5,000 as a stra sr bidder, under a disreputable scheme that would latke Dorsey or Brady blush, was fresh in the minds of Republicans. Ilia rt puta tlea for mail contracts, surveying con tracts, atreet contracts, otc., etc. all tended to render hts unfitness for po litical position more glarir.g. It was horrifying to Republicans to think he had cheek enough to ask to be consign to an ignominious death, and make the (tarty mourners. So they patacd him as a waif they could not support. How very pitiful is this delectable and moat undutiful Republican orphan. They certainly know him. THE (RIUU AMD THttBlU Mr. Rufus Mallory, the defunct U. S. Diatrtet Attorney, squoaled a big squeal at the Republican ratification meeting in Portland because J S. Smith was nominated for Governor, and Mr. Fenton for Congress en the Democtat ic ticket. The cradle and the grave were his themes. Mr. Fenton is not far from the age of Mr. George, the present Congressman, and old enough to drive Mr. Georgo from his nurses. The cradle Mr. Fenton was raised in is the old Democratic cradle, in which the founders of our government were nurtured. No wonder Mallory fears that cradle. He certainly has a love for the grave. It is but a few months ago that the Statesman and Onjoniau were asking concerning a federal officer who boarded at Salem, but doing business in Portland, came to Salem twice a week en a rail road pass to lengthen out his salary. He could havo boarded at a hotel in Portland as well. This inquiry consigned Mallory to a political grave, from which he will never be resurrected, No wonder tho grave troubled him. And when he gets in another weaving way, and is bent on making au ass of himself as asual, we ask him to tell the dear peo ple bow much he laid up by the little dodge in boarding at Halem for eight years of his official term, and drawing his mileage while bo could have just as well lived at Portland, which charge was made by the Republican organs aforesaid. Tbe grave has its victory, Mallory, and so will J. S. Smith have his. KEPI BLIC'A.Sj HI fPOKT. The late Republican State Conven tion put forth a platform that should drive the Orejonian from the support of the Republican ticket. If the issue is made on a high protective tariff, which the Republican platform advo cates, how can the free trade Orejonian support that platform. But it does support it, and will labor nevertheless to elect the entire Republican ticket. This is another evidence that the Orejonian is devoid of principle. It has no character for sound judgment or firmness in principle, and never had. Of all the newspapers in Oregon the Orejonian h the lsast respected among the masses. It cannot influence fifty votes in the State outside of its em ployees. To be true to its instincts, however faithless, it is said that the editor in chief will go away and remain abroad until after the election, as he claims to be neither Republican nor Democrat. This is the leading so-called Republican journal. Democrats would understand it, and if the convictions of the editor are not to control its columns or principle, then money must. And the editor going away shows the object, but not the exact prica of it. Let the cat out, even though it sits on tho bag. A II.NOIU T MINIH1T.K.

The Indian still lie and steal when needed te bo dene, and a converted Chinese h:t tho nail on the head when he saul he "got roligion join the Cbarcb, and ainco tnado money like the D 1." In three years this senlisaentalistn will absorb the Repub licanfparty, and the old grannies like Recchcr will shape its religious course. We want Republicans to put them selves squsruly on the record, so we may know hereafter what tbey have said and done. Kvery Republican vote now on this coast will strengthen the views of those who opposed the Chinese bill. If the Pacific States go Republi can, then all our opposition to the Chi nese immigration will bo taken as mock ery. Let us have a clear record ou this question. We want to rebuko this sen timent now at the outsot. Democrats have this to do and Republicans should unite with them iu this work of self preservation. Will they do it I It is more important as a principle than the success of any paiticular man. ABTUlSt AMMIIfc HINi: SIMsTKS. It is a fact that the Chinese minister dictated Arthur's veto message. Arthur says so and gives the memorandum that the Chinese minister furnished him, and from which he constructed his message. Every point in that memor andum is in tho veto message, and when the Cliineso minister requested President Arthur to band in his mem orandum with the veto message. Ar thur did so and staled that he did it by request of the Chinese minister. We have two leadors of the Republican sentiment on thia question as promul gated in tho east. Of the two advo cates Arthur and the Chinese minis ter the latter is the better of the two. Are we not proud as Americans that we have such an auxilliary as the Chinese minister. He can dictate to our President, construct his veto mes sage, and get away with the best of the bargain. That Chinese minister should be put bodily into the next Re publican national platform. There is ne two to one that he does not construct it himself. Every man who toils,having the right to vote, should not fail to de posit his vote for tho Democratic party. I It ia the only salvation for these Paci fic States, politically, socially and com mercially. Judob - Kelsay was badly beaten for Governor at Portland. He says "By theby, they put up a job on me.

Democrat: I u voting for candidates for OoT ernor, if tho neoplo do not inquire in to the personal vlows of candidate for tho purpose of voting for those whoso views are in harmony with theirs, then their voting is a farce. This proposition, farmers and labor ing men are beginning to endow all over the country, What were the view of tho farm ers, laborers, and in fact men of all vocations two years ago, in reforence te reducing the rate of interest ? Tho voters of Linn county wero ui most a unit in favor of that measure, and they would not vote for aay man for the Legislature who was not in harmony with them on that subject. The law was passed rodut ing interest and was approved by tho (iovernor. Now suppose there had been a man in tho gubernatorial chair who would havo vetoed the bill. Do not tho vot era seo that their demand for a reduc tion ef interest would havo boon firosV trated, and our formor high rate of interest would yet provall ? Now tho money sharks and iron-hearted brokers are organizing a movement for the purpose of procuring a repeal of that law. From the papers I learn that in Mflon county the only two members ef the Legislature of two years ago who voted against reduction of interest have been renominated by tho Republicans. I mean Mr. Ferd and Mr. Waldo. All tho other mem bers from that county voted for the bill, but none of them luiix hern renmni natctl. Bob Hirsch and seme other enemies ef that law have been renom inated andthese, with new members to be choson, are depended upon to repeal the law. But tho most danger. threat to that law is the nomination of . I Moody for Govcrm r by tho Republi cans. Mr. Moody was a member of the last Legislature, -and at every stage of that bill ho voifl promptly against it. See House Juunal, 180, piges 112 and 1S2. Now suppose Mr. Moody should bo elected Govern or, and tho legislature through the influence ef such men as Hirsch, of Multnomah, Ford and Waldo, of Ma rion, and others should repeal tho in terest law, would not Mr. Moody, as Governor, aud as a banker, approve the bill ? Of course. ' I appeal to all voters without regard to party, to re fuse thoir votes in support of a man for Governor whose interests are so antagonistic to theirs. GUANV.RR. HMii mrrs coxKEsionEiK.

Editir DfSWHkWk A a Republican I protect against the nomination of Mr Meedy f .r Co ernor. We naa plenty ei gov.i inen- whem wo might have nominated, but instead of that we havo nominated a man who has no sort of rjualiHcations for tho office. If Moody is competent to act as Governor, then overy third man you meet U competent He may be competent to run a bank or brok erage buxincii, but he would soon bring shame axd disgrace upon tho ,-Jtato If h were elected Govornor. Ho know-? nothing of law and has had no experience in public affairs. So, only that, but he is opposed to tho interest of tho farmer, as is shown by tho record he made in the last Legislature. Up here two years ago wo n ;do our candidates for the Leg islature agree to pose a law that would reduce tho fees of Cierk and Sheriff. Mr. Moody wai then a member and Speaker of the House, and voted against tho bill. Now we want the Legislature thh fall to pass another law to reduce the fees nf Clerks and .Sheriffs b4 if Mr. Moody should be cloeted Governor ho would veto it. as i shown by his vote in the lut LcgMilure. As a Republican I prefer to vetc for Republicans, but when my party pots up such nn objectionable man as Moody I aay that I wrtrt not vote for him,butil will vote fir J. S.Sraith.who is known to bo a friend of the people. The Republican of this lo cality have made up their minds to vote fer the best men, whether they be Republicans or Democrats, and for the reasons I have given above mmy Republicans here have determined to vote for Smith for Governer.
