to do any one an injury. All honor­
able men distrust them, and do not
now and will not in the future trust
them in political matters. Any per­
son who goes into a convention for a
nomination and is defeated, acts in
bad faith to his friends when he op­
poses his successful competitor. He
may fool his friends once but be will
never Lave the second opportunity.
If he had been nominated he would
have expected that his opponents
would support him, and if they had
not he would have been the first

us and any and everything we wrould

I t is a w e ll known and conceded
fact that when ever Religion, Tem­
perance, or any other Moral or be­
nevolent institution or creed is bro’t
into politics that from that time for­
ward its course is downward, and a
large portion of, if not the whole
- community, look upon the particu­
lar society, thus prostituting itself,
as being corrupt, and that it is led
and controlled by a set of low politi­
cal tricksters who have stolen the
. livery of Heaven to serve the Devil
; in, and this is the position in which
the Temperance organizations of Or*
. egon are now placed by a few fanati-
. cal political demagogues who claim
to act for the Temperance cause in
Oregon. We see by our late P ort­
land papers that a body calling it­
self the “ Temperance League of Or­
egon,” met in a State Convention at
Portland a few days since and pro
ceeded to nominate a State ticket to
..‘.be supported by the members of the
r Temperance organizations in this
'• .State. This action of the Temper­
ance League is in direct violation of
. the solemn obligations of all the
. temperance organizations of Oregon.
'.The obligation taken by every indi­
vidual who connects himself with
: any of the organizations e x p re ssly
excludes Religion and Politics from
their creed and proceeedings, and
the men who attempt to bring these
•etfbjaets into the organization vio­
late their obligation and should be
looked .upon by the whole communi­
ty as a set o f perjured scoundrels.—
W e look upon tire action of this so
.called State Temperance Convention
,as a direct attack upon the Temper­
ance organization, and done with in­
tent to injure and destroy the organ­
izations. All good and true mem­
bers of the various Temperance or­
ganizations in the State, we are sat­
isfied, will look upon the matter in
the same light .and have nothing to
do with the political matter sought
to be foisted upon their cause.

The Jacksonville Times of May
2nd, in speaking of the speaking at
Jacksonville on the 25th of last
month says, “ Governor Grover, the
Democratic champion, arose and de­
livered a most exhaustive, conclu­
sive and eloquent speech that has
been our fortune to bear. He rebut­
ted the charges made against his Ad­
ministration in such a conclusive
manner that he at once dispelltd ail
doubt of the honesty, efficiency and
economy.of his Administration from
many of the minus of the most big
oted Republicans. We have not the
space to review the entire effort, but
will proceed to give some of its most
prominent features.
His Excellencv commenced by as­
serting that although not born and
raised on the lrontier like bis com ­
petitors claimed they had been, he
has been a resident of Oregon for
many years, and was the first to
bring aid to the suffering settlers of
this valley in the early Indian wars.
He said that the people when they
came to vote wanted to know who
they were voting for, and therefore
believed in canvassing. He explain­
ed in a most satisfactory manner
bow the Penitentiary was carried on
economically and well. That the
convict labor had furnished the brick
for several public buildings and the
cost for keeping said convicts bad
been reduced almost three fourths,
as compared with the Woods’ Radi­
cal Administration. That State Land
Office, Executive Office, tug boat and
health office at Astoria, and several
other public necessities bad been es­
tablished by his Administration.—
Showed how recklessly affairs were
administered by Woods. That Sam
May had embezzled the sum of $15,-
000, as found by a Grand Jury. E x ­
plained the Portland Police B ill.—
That it was a necessity for the peace
and safety of that city from burglars
murderers, etc.
That a bill was
never passed to repeal it, but only
one to put the appointing of the po­
licemen in the bands of the Police
Judge and City Council, who were
known to be .engineered by a certain
man, and that, upon the petition of
several of the most prominent men
of Portland, he vetoed it.
Explain­
ed his veto of the iitigant act. That
the proprietors of the papers ap­
pointed under that act were under
contract to do the printing for the
term of the appointive power, and
that much litigation would have
been the result as was the case in
California. Showed that the $10,000
lent to build an academy at Baker
City by the State, wTich was a dire
necessity for the educational inter­
ests of Eastern Oregon, was secured
by a moitgage on the said building
and lot, and that if Toiman would
call it a steal in Eastern Oregon he
would receive but few votes there.—
Showed of what benefit the Locks
were to the people of the Willamette
How they had reduced the rate of
transportation charged by Holiaday’
railroads. That they had been built
according to specifications and gave
universal satisfaction.
Said that
foreign ships had been brought to
buy our wheat at large prices by the
tug boat that had been placed at the
Columbia bar, over winch vessel«
could not pass without the assist
ance of the same. That instead of
one as provided by law, two were
kept, and were amply sustained. He
conclusively showed up the fallacy
pf other statements made against
him by the Republican press and
speakers. It is but just to say that
he cleared himseif ot all charges in
a manner creditable to himsejf and
to the eminent satisfaction of his
bearers, Republicans and Democrats
alike.”

idea by the fact that 6r. W. Ames or­

The Gazette. Baxters organ, has a
special from Pine Bluffs, reporting
a large meeting approving Baxter
and denouncing Brooks.
A dispatch from Helena states
that J. T. White. ex-Seuator (col­
ored), addressed a meeting chiefly
colored persons, advised them to
preserve neutral ground, and leave
the decision of the question to legis­
lation.
L i t t l e R o c k , May 5—The U. S.
troops formed a line across Markham
street several times last night to
prevent Baxter from
advancing
against Brooks.
There is a report of another battle
between King White’s forces and a
party of Brooksites. The city is full
of warlike rumors that Brooks is
about to attack Baxter, and vice ver­
sa. The U. S. troops occupy the
old position between the belligerents.
L i t t l e R o c k , May 6—Judges Ben­
nett and Searle escaped from their
captors and arrived here to day un­
der a Federal escort. A party of
Brooks’ adherents pelted the house
of Gen. Bloeher last night. The
measles and smallpox are reported
to be raging in Brooks camp. Mat­
ters are becoming daily more critical
and complicated.
S t . Louis, May 6 —The Democrat’s
special gives an account of tho cap­
ture and escape o f the Justices of
the Supreme Court, Bennett and
Searle. Lieut. Summerbill moved
them after their capture to the out­
skirts of the city, whence by Gen.
Bloclier’s orders, they were transfer­
red to Benton. Summerliill having
learned that assassination was inten­
ded for the prisoners, disclaimed
complicity and offered them his aid
in makiug their escape. This waa
affected and tfae prisoners were sup
plied with revolvers, which they
subsequently gave up to their escorts
Summerbill and Thompson. Soon
after meeting a squad of United
States troops, they were taken under
their protection and conducted to
Little Rock.
L i t t l e R o c k . May 7—The Supreme
Court met this morning. The case
of Brooks against Page, State Treas­
urer, asking for a mandamus, com ­
pelling Page, to pay a requisition
made to him by Brooks as Governor
of Arkansas, came up. A decision
was rendered granting the manda­
mus, the Court holding that the de­
cision of Judge- W hylock, of the cir­
cuit Court, rendering judgment af
ouster against Baxter was valid.
Brooks’ supporters now think the
President will recognize Brooks as
Governor.

V eto . — A
Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune solemnly declares
that Senator Logan thus expressed
himself on the veto., in a hotel in
that ®ity:
“ Grant is now assured of his third
term, and I have no doubt lie will be
continued in office for then#xt. thirty
or forty years, if be so desires. He
has secured the support of the eigh­
teen hundred national banks of this
c o u n t r y , and, as a population of the
nation is but a little over 40.000,000,
what can such a handful 1 of people
expected to do against the combined
money interest?”
Tbe brilliant Senator; warming
with his subject continued:
“ Yes, it is a hell of a message. It
is a most- wonderful message; more
damned nonsense was prob il 1 never
condensed into the same space.
Why, this Grant don’t know, even
how to do a sum in simple addition.
He adds up 44 and 46 and calls it
to connect with railroads running to
the Eastern States. The latter ref­
erence is understood to be the Port­
land, Dalles and Salt Lake Railroad,
and the Northern jPacific.
The House Committee on Pacific
Railroads have agreed to report a
bill directing the Secretary of the
Treasury to demand payment from
the Pacific Railroads of five per cent
annuity due the Government on their
bonds, and providing that if the
companies refuse, the Attorney Gen­
