HENRY
W AR R EN .
W hat H is H om e Paper H as to Say
About H im .
The Republican Convention, like the
m ountain, “ has labored and broughtforth
a mouse.” Henry Warren is the nom i­
nee, the lamb that is to be slaughtered on
the 25th of October.
W e have heretofore expressed our opin­
ion of him as a Congressional candidate.
We do not impugn his integrity; but we
certainly deny that he is fit person to rep­
resent any constituency in Congress. Mr.
Warren is about fifty years of age, and
has been in office about seventeen years.
He was sheriff of this county six years; a
representative in the .lower House o f the
Legislature two years and Receiver in the
■ Land Office at Oregon City about nine
years. So that he has had a long pull at
the public teat and m ay be properly re­
garded as a chronic office seeker, one who
cannot prosper without drawing his sub­
sistence from the public treasury.
The fact that he was four times elected
to office by the people of this county is
not indicative of any great popularty, be­
cause the Republicans during that time
had an overwhelming majority in this
county, and always elected their entire
ticket by very large majorities. The peo­
ple tnink that they have ¿one enough for
him and they will not now com m it the
superlative blunder of electing him to a po­
sition which he is not qualified to fill.—
lie has a very defective education, and
when he was first elected Sheriff he could
not write a sentence gram m atically.—
W hen in the Legislature in 1864 he was a
mere dum m y, and was afraid to open his
mouth lest he would betray his igno­
rance. And to-day he cannot m ake a
public speech or express his views in a
public audience with any facility. The
Bulletin says he w ill m ake an “ effective
canvass.” If he m akes any canvass it
m ay be effective in losing him hundreds
of votes in each county. The Republican
party is hard up when it places before the
people, for Congress, such asjjmau as W ar­
ren. Imagine him in Congress in the
presence of such men as A lex. H. Steph­
ens, M. C. Kerr , Sunset Cox and others,
debating some matter in which Oregon is
deeply interested, and you have a picture
o f a pigm y contending with giants.
The people will never subm it to the dis­
grace of electing Warren to Congress. The
Republicans have com m itted a great er­
ror m placing him before the people. W e
ask the people to try Warren by the Jef­
fersonian test. “ Is he honest, is he capa­
ble.” He m ay pass the first question but
be can not com e up to the second. He is
not capable. He is destined to be con­
signed to oblivion along with honest HI.
Sm ith. Their qualifications are the
same.—Lafayette Courier.
IN A MAD F IX .
The Oregon City Enterprise, says ever
since the Oregonian passed into the hands
of H ill & Co., that Radical faction have
tried to beat the office-holders by a bush­
whacking course on the outside, and the
Ring has always managed to get away
with the outs. The Reading editorial in
last Thursday’ s Oregonian puts us in
m ind of an old story which w ill bear re­
peating here. In a certain county in K en­
tu cky, where the W hig party had but a
few followers, they tried for a number of
years to defeat the Democrats. Finally,
after trying again and again to defeat
their opponents, the whigs were called to­
gether for consultation, and after much
discussion as to the course to pursue to
defeat the Democrats, no definite plan
could be reached. Out of the half a dozen
that were present, a committee was ap­
pointed to report at a subsequent m eet­
ing the best means to take in the ap­
proaching; cam paign. This com m ittee
reported the follow ing day, and was in
substance about as follow s: Gentlemen,
your ¡com m ittee have concluded that
there is but one w ay of defeating the De­
m ocracy, and that is to join them , and we
reccom m end that the W higs vote the
Democratic ticket at the rext election.—
Now this is about the case with H ill. He
has not been able to defeat the office­
holders and they have refused to divide
with him so, in order to defeat them , he
has gone over and join ed the party. I f
that don’ t beat them there is no use for
Democrats to “ kick against the pricks”
an y longer. The editorials in the Oregon­
ian of Thursday, Friday and Saturday
have not been quoted by any of our R adi­
cal friends as good election documents for
Mr. Warren and by m any it has been as­
serted that H ill had joined the Radical
party for the same purpose that the K en­
tucky W higs did the Democracy. It looks
so.

after the election.
OREGON W A K IN G I P .
The Owyhee Avalanche truthfully says:
An effort is being made at Portland, Ore­
gon, looking to th e'bu ild in g of a m anu­
factory for turning out boots, shoes and
leather. Those engaged in the project
furnish some very good reasons on behalf
of the necessity of the enterprise and its
paying prospects. They say that hides
are very cheap in that State; that large
quantities are annually exported there­
from, and returned in leather in a raw or
manufactured state, transportation being
required to be paid both ways. A ll the
profit of manufactering boots and shoes
are enjoyed by others at their expe»se.—
The natural facilities for running such an
enterprise are as good there as elsewhere,
and in consequence of the absence of such
works many persons are idle and are
forced to leave the State and get em ploy­
m ent elsewhere. More than a m illion
dollars worth of boots and shoes are an­
nually imported into the State, and by
com bining the capital and skill requisite
for such an enterprise this m oney would
be saved to the State, and work given to
the unemployed. The Oregonian gives
the project a hearty support and speaks
very enconragingly of its prospects, and
the necessity for its speedy eonsumation.
Operations o f W om an Suffrage in
W yom in g.
According to a Laramie paper, woman
suffrage works adm irably there. It says:
There never was a term of Court held
there in a decent and comfortable place,
and with decency and decorum, until the
ladies were summoned to participate in
it. There never was a Grand Jury that
investigated offences against decency and
m orality until Grand Juries were com ­
posed in part of wom en. There was hard­
ly a criminal punished until women took
part in trial juries; and there never was
an election without drunkenness, fight­
ing and bloodshed until the wives, m oth­
ers, sisters and daughters were permitted
to accom pany the men to the polls; while
now the elections go off as quietly as any
other social gathering, no matter how
heated a political campaign may be, or
how important the issues at stake.
G re n e ra l C o lle c to r .
C alifornia E lection — The election takes
place in California today. There is scareeiy
any doubt but what the Democracy will car­
ry the State, by a large majority.
C. T. I vyland , who has been stumping the
State of California for, Irwin, estimates the
total vote at 115,000, and uivides it thus:
Irwin, 55,000; Phelps, 35,000; Bidwell, 25,000.
It is now generally admitted on all sides that
outside of San Erancisco Bidwell is third in
the race, but he will probably succeed in
electing the Democratic candidate.

S an F rancisco , August 26, 2p . ai.--The
Bank of Californio closed its doois a lew mo­
ments ago. Their Agencies at Virginia City
and Gold Hill were nobbed to close with ail
haste.
Later—4 p. m . —On account of the failure
o f the Bm k of California the ¡Stock Boards
have adjourned until called together by the
Executive Committees. Caliiornia Street is
the scene of the most iuteuse excitement. It
is literally jammed with a solid living mass.
The exact loss is not known, but it is estimat-
at millions. A run on the other banks is now
going on, and it is impossible to even guess
at the result.' The stock market has entire­
ly collapsed, and there is no demand what­
ever. All orders due in the Stcok Board to­
day will be due on the day after the Board
meets again.
It is said by supporters of S. S. Cox for the
Speakership, that Mr* Blaine virtually threw
the office into the hands of Mr. Randall, by
recognizing him on thqfloor of the House m
preference to any other member, during the
light on the Force bill.
