GARFIELD, OF OHIO. For Vice President, CHESTER A. ARTHUR, OF KEW YORK. For Presidential Electors, GEO. K CURRY, C. B. WATSON", E. L. APPLEGATE. THE ELECTION. On next Tuesday tTie voters of the United States will be called upon to decide the inost important question that has he a submitted to them for a nntnber of wars, a President of the United Stale .o be elected, and by that act a National administration endorsed or changed. This is not a question of trifling import, but one that in its effects will be felt by every one in the whole nation to a greater or less extent, and it is to be hoped that no one will deposit his ballot in this important mutter without a care ful and candid consideration of the result, and that his conscience may then approve the decision he has made. Can there be a doubt in which scale the influence, and more, the vote of every man alive to the great issues of the contest, is to be cast ? On one side a soldier bred in the profession of arms well would it have been for his reputation on the pages of history had he never im perilled the position of ease secured to him by a country grateful for the weight his sword cast into the doubt ful fortunes of Gettysburg's carnage, Ts he, can he be called by the most partial friend who conserves a vestige of honesty, a statesman fit to guide i lie destinies of this great country. No ! a thousand times No ! The United States has had enough of war and war's minions. No man, schooled by the drill sergeant, with the rigid discipline oithe camp en grained into his every action of mind and body, can be fit to play this great part. Whom have we on the other side ? A man- sprung from the people who has won every step in his grand career by that best of discipline, self discipline; who has graced every step that he won by so filling it as to prove his fitness for a higher one who is in the best sense self taught ; to whom the fortunes, the aspirations of almost every condition of life are familiar, for he has tried them in turn, and there succeeded. Calumny has made him her mark, hut each shaft in turn has dropped headless from its point of touch. His chcrac ter stands to-day in the estimation of millions of the honest, good and true citizens of this land, higher far than when the inspiration of the delegates at Chicago chose him for the post; not smirked or stained by the volumes of base imputation of forged letters, of nameless slanderers, that have delug ed us in the progress of this cam paign. So we close our columns for the last words before the great day ar rives, With VOTE FOB GARFIELD, as our parting injunction to all men good and true. Hancock was never renowned for his strategic qualities. He was a good fighter but a bad planner. Now, with the "solid South" on three sides and Tammany on the other, he seems to be in a position which calls for some superior generalship. He can't demonstrate to the skeptical his ability to get out of this quadri lateral by writing letters and insist ing that he can run the gang which compasses him about. Nobody charges that there will be any risk in electing Garfield, Busi ness will not be disturbed, resump tion will not be imperilled, and pros perity will not be checked. This is the reason why Garfield will be elected. The country is not so stupid as to take a thousand risks when there is no need or excuse for taking one. There is no reason in history for the "Solid South." The excuses offer ed are false and frivolous. The solid South is aggressive, and is the reap. pearance of the Southern Confeder acy. The American citizen who does not know that fact ought to have a surgical operation performed on his head. Vote for 8e peoples friend J. A Garfield. ANSWER TO THE OREQCNIAN It is but seldom that we wish our readers to notice what appears m the "Oregonian," outside of the tele- grahic news : for tis sad to say that rarely are the valley interests appeal ed to in its columns. Portland and its friends, or so- called friends, rule the most. But during the last few days a correspondence has been printed between Hon. Sol Hirsch the late President of the Senate, and Mr. Wallis Nash of this city. The .mat ter in question is this: during the recent debate in the State Senate on the common carriers bill, or rather at its close, Mr. Hirsch appears to have somehow obtained possession of a prospectus of the new Oregon Pacif ic Railroad and to have considered himself justified in five minutes ac quaintance with it, in dragging it in to discussion (which was on the com mon carriers bill and nothing else) and in using language regarding it rarely heard in any legislative body and wheneyer resorted to always sternly rebuked. So far the matter might be one between Mr. Hirsch and his colleagues in- the Senate, or between him and the Oregon Pacific Railroad. But this man forgetful of his position and its responsibilities showered his charges of lying and fraud on the paiticular statement in the Prospectus which was quoted, and was stated to be quoted from the memorial addressed by a committee of citizens in the Valley Counties to the United States authorities as to the quantity of wheat produced in these counties which might be ex pected to find an ontlet by the Yaquina Bay. To these papers which were pre sented in April, 1879, .o the U. S engineer officers charged with the location of a harbor of refuge, are attached the names,. for this county, of John Burnett, F. A. Chenoweth, John Ray, W. B, Carter and B. W Wilson. The signatures from Linn and Lane counties are more numer ous and of no less respectability. Has the "Oregonian" any censure for this act, for which Mr. Hirsch has ventured to clam privileges as a Sena tor of Oregon ? None. The "Ore gonian thinks there is "not much probability" of Yaquina Bay being improved as a harbor and of the railroad being constructed. There would be mighty little chance of either had the people of this Valley been left to the tender mercy of the "Oregoniau" and its Portland sup porters. 0 It is no secret that our present hopes of deliverance from the neces sity of passing and paying the Port land toll gate every time we pass in and out of our State, has been won in the face of bitter opposition, engen dered, operated, and inspired from that city and the corporations which there find their headquarters and by those hopes of deliverance we stand. We pledge ourselves to continue, so far as our forces go, the same work of which W. B Carter was so staunch a friend, and we will give no quarter to those who asperse his memory as in effect was done in the Senate on the occasion referred to. In the support of the work at Yaquina Bay, and of the Oregon Pacific Railroad, the Val ley stands united to day, regardless of party strife and distinction. There we will stand until our enfranchise ment is won. How does the business man like the prospect of a "change" which will put the affairs of the country under the control of Tammany and the Solid South? If Hancock is elect ed, these two forces will control his administration. The feeble rural rooster of the Oregon Democratic country press had barely "peeped" when the light ning from Indiana struck him ; and now be is consigned to the basket of bad eggs. Telegram. General Grant says of Hancock and the South : "He is crazy to be Presi dent. He is ambitious, vain and weak. They will easily control him." Every utterance Hancock has made since his nomination coincides with this view. Every person that has the best in terests of the country in general at heart, will vote for Garfield next Tuesday. When a workingman votes for Hancock, he votes for a decrease in his own wages. Bear this in mind. Republican Greenbackers, remem ber that every vote you cast for Weaver is one less for Garfield. Why have the Democratic press totally ignored the interview of the Patterson editor with Hancock? No man can name a single risk in electing Garfield President. OUR REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Editor: Having been an eye witness of the proceedings of the Legislature just adjourned, I feel com petent to judge of its work and work ers. It can be said truly that no legislature in the years gone by ever showed so much of that spirit calcu lated to array section against section to the disadvantage of all general interests as this one of 1880. Multnomah county came solid in the Senate to oppose everything and anything demanded by the people and to support all measures for the benefit of monopolizing corporations. Hon. J. N. Dolph was able to run the delegation from that county and con trol six out of the eight hold over Republican Senators. This was enough to make the fight on Senate Bill 82 nearly even, and Hon. John Henry Smith, the granger, the farm ers friend, and workingmans cham pion, threw his weight on the Port land side of the scale and the great Willamette Valley was left in ber race for justice. So strongly did the railroad companies, assisted by the Insane Asylum influence, oppose this bill of 20 lines that retalitory meas ures for future protection became actually necessary, hence the Insane Asylum lobbying, which has been a stand rftg menace against good legis lation for years was put aside. The apportionment bill to place more power in the hands of our enemies was also put to sleep, the reasons urged by Hon. E. Woodward will be published next week, and Benton county has every reason to feel proud of a man who would not yield to political importuning, but took a bold manly stand for equal justice. It was a grand position for any man to occupy, and a representative is en titled to and will receive from all candid men, full praise for opposing a political outrage, and one that would have defeated the Republican party had it become a law.J Hon. Geo. Waggoner was careful and attentive, ever ready and willing to assist such legislatiue action as would prove beneficial. He was vig ilant and done a great deal to quiet local differences that good laws might be enacted. Hon. F. M. Wadsworth never fal tered, but worked faithfully and earnestly to accomplish results that would meet the approbation of hie constituency, and no one will be able to say he did not succeed. Hon. Allen Parker, in a quiet but effective manner done what others could not do, combined elements of strength, and carrying it with him struck some heavy blows, making certain rings feel the power of right eous indignation. Parker done well, truly well. Hon. R. L. Clow, Benton has a half interest in this gentleman, and it is just to say he represented that half interest nobly. Mr. Clow work ed with zeal and made good use of the assistance he received from friends. Nothing but influences of a doubtful character prevented the pas sage of Senate bill 82. This Mr. Clow could not overcome ; he hoped and trusted the rights of the many would be respected, but this princi ple had in some cases been galvan. ized with gold, a power that overrides the will of the people and tramples under foot every vestage of justice. Mr. Clow proved himself a faithful servant of the public weal. The legislature of 1880 is "now a thing of the past, but a record is left and an impression on my mind that makes it obligatory to say at this time, "People of the Willamette Val ley and Eastern Oregon, you are in the toils of a money power, growing stronger day by day, a power whose rapidly increasing wealth makes it possible to control all future legisla tion. Nothing but your indepen dence and good judgment in select ing representatives in the future can avert the calamity certain to follow, if you desire to be enslaved be care less and indifferent ; if yon wish to be free and enjoy the fullest imunity from monopolies and extortionate de mands, be vigilant, for eternal vigi lance is the price of liberty." R. A. Bensell, Corvallis, Oct. 2, 1880. What a "glorious" time the Demo cratic party would have with a man for President who is so innocent of public affairs as to think the Govern ment has nothing to do with the tariff. Does anybody think it would be hard work to "fool" such a man on the claims or any other question ? The Democrats are just a little nervous over Georgia's 60,000 major ity. They feel as though they had over done the thing, but it really does not make any difference ; every body knows it could have been made unanimous just as well. 00 WE NEED A CHANGE. The principal argument used by Democrats in the present campaign is that a change of administration would be in the interest of the peo pie; that the Republican administra tion is corrupt, etc., etc. Now, as a direct answer to these various charges, we print below a few figures taken from the official reports of the various investigating committees appointed by a Demo cratic Congress, for the purpose of ascertaining just how much money had been stolen by the various Re publican officers. These investiga tions were made at government ex pense, and extend over the various administrations from George Wash, ington to President Hayes, and the report was that there had been lost to the United States by fraud and mismanagement during that time the amounts following : Under the administration of Wash ington, $2.22 on every $1,000 of the revenue; under John Adams, $2.59 per 1000; Thomas Jefferson, $2.75 per 1000; James Madison, $4.16 per 1000; James Monroe, $8.58 per 1000; John Qaincy Adams, $4.59 per 1000; Andrew Jackson, $7.52 per $1000; Van Buren, $11.71 per $1000; Har rison Tyler, $6.40 per $1000; Jas. K. Polk, $4.08 per $1000; Tyler and Fillmore, $4.19 per $1000 ; Franklin Pierce. $3.56 per $1000 ; James Bu chauan, $3.81 per $1000; Abraham Lincoln, 76 cents per $1000; -An drew Johnson, 37 cents per $1000; U. S. Grant, 24 cents per $1000, and R. B. Hayes, only 80 cents on each one million. Figures don't lie, and these are Democratic figures at that. Let every voter consider this fact before casting his vote, and then say by his ballot that he does not desire a change on the above showing. GARFIELD GN THE CHINESE. The Herald's Cleveland special says: the following is an extract from an interview which the city edi tor of the Cleveland Leader had with General Garfield at Mentor some time before his -nomination : "What is your opinion, General, with refer ence to the Chinese question ?" "1 have a great deal of sympathy with the people of California and other Pacific States in reference to this sub ject, but it was a mistake on the part of some Congressmen -to confound the immigration of the regular Chinese to this country with the advent of coolies, who may be brought here under contract, and perhaps as slaves. We have a right to reject all slaves. There are laws to prevent their im portation into the United States, just as in the old time. These laws can be made to apply to coolies just as stringently, or better still, to obtain the end in view, of preventing the introduction of coolie labor, to the disadvantage of the working classes of this country. We might make a treaty with China by which it could be understood that slaves or coolies were not to be landed on our shores, but to say that any well-behaved, law-abiding person should be kept away when desirous of coming of his own free will, aside from the coolie system, would be hard and contrary to the intentions of our institutions." "Will a bill of the character you in dicate be apt to pass ?" "A bill in some modified form will be presented, and if in the proper shape relative to coolies, we, the Republican Congress men, will be willing to help its pass age, and the President and all will concur in it; otherwise not. Which will have the more effect upon the voters of the country the magnificent indorsement of Garfield by his own State, or the blackguardly attacks upon him by the Democratic press. Has anybody discovered anywhere a Workingmen's Hancock Club? It would be a funny spectacle to see a workingman shouting for the reduc tion of his own wages. In the South bulldozing and the tissue-ballot, in the .North combina tion and the lottery, are the favorite Democratic political methods. Voters of Benton county should remember that there has been no real cause shown why you should not vote for Garfield. Do yon think a man that calls the tariff a local question is fit for Presi dent? Hancock thus terms it. Hancock's tongue is the best cam paign document the Republicans have had. TUn OOQ' ronlrat li1'k nan" life -J i (n. ivv. u uiuii w t.. worth a cent in Ohio, Garfield's home. James A. Garfield the next Presi dent. NATIONAL REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. The following is the platform passed hy the recent Republican convention held at Chicago : Republican rule has restored upon a solid basis pay ment, in mill for all the national obliirations. and has given us a currency absolutely good and legal and equal in every part of our extended country. It has lifted the credit of the nation from the point where H per cent, bonds sold at 86, to that where 4 per cent, bonds are earerlv sought at a premium. Under its administration, railways have increased from 31,000 miles in iSoO, to more tnan az,uuu muus m icsrj. uui foreign trade has increasedfrom $700,000,000 to 150,000,000 in the same time, and our exports in I860, were 264,000,000 more than our imports in 1879. Without resorting to loans, it has, since the war closed, defrayed the ordinary expenses of the govern ment, besides the accruing interest on the jmblic debt and disbursed annually more than $30,000,000 for sol diers' pensions, it has paia ssw.uw.ouu oi me puo lic debt, and by refunding the balance at lower rates, has reduced the annual interest charge, from nearly 151,000,000 to less than $39,000,000. All the indus tries of the country nave revivea, moons in aemaiiu, wages have increased and throughout the entire coun try there is evidence of a coming prosperity greater than we ever enjoyd. Upon this record the Repub lican party asks for the continued confidence and sup port of the people, and this convention submits to their approval the following statement of the princi ples anu purpose wmcu win cumuniu lu guiur aim in spire its efforts : First We aiflrm that the work of the last 21 years has been such as to commend itself to the favor of the nation, and that the fruits of the costly victories which we have achieved through immense difficulties should be preserved : that the dissevered union now happily restored should be perpetuated and that the liberties j i. ii. : t!i ,.t i.i v. i sccurca iaj nils yeuuiauuu biiuuiu uc Littuwiiiiiiiicu un diminished to future generations; that the order es tablished and the credit acquired should never be im periled ; that the pensions promised should be paid; that the debt so much reduced should be extinguished by the payment of everv dollar thereof ; that the re viving industries should ever be promoted, and that the commerce already so great should be encouraged. Second The constitution of the United States is the supreme law, and not a mere contract of confeder ated states. It made a sovereign nation. Some pow ers are denied to the nation, while others are retained by the states, but the boundary between the powers deieijated and those reserved is to be determined by national and not by state tribunals. Third The work of popular education is one left to the care of the several states, but it is the Wuty of the national government to aid that work to the ex tent of its constitutional ability. The intelligence of the nation is but the aggregate of the intelligence in the several states and thedestiny of the nation must be guided not by the genius of any one state, but by the average genius of all. Fourth The constitution wisely forbids congress to make any law respecting an establishment of relig ion, but it is idle to hope that the nation can be pro tected against the influence of sectarianism while each state is exposed to its particular domination. We therefore recommend that the constitution be so amended as to lay some prohibition upon the legisla tion of each state and to forbid the appropiation of the public fun4sto the support oc sectarian schools. Fifth We reaffirm the belief avowed in 170 that the duties levied for the purpose of revenue should so discriminate as to favor American labor ; that no fur ther grant of the puclicdomain shonla be made to any railroad or other corporation ; that slavery having perished m t:ie states, its twain barbarity, polygamy must die in the territo?ies ; that everywhere the pro tection accorded to American birth must be secured to citizens by American adoption ; that it is the duty of congress to develop and improve our water courses and harbors, but we insist that further subsidies to private persons or corporations must cease ; that the obligations to men wno preserved its integrity in thi day of battle are undiminished by the lanseof 15 year since their final victory ; their perpetual honor is and shall forever be the greatful privilege and the sa cred duty ot the American people. Sixth Since the authority to regulate immigration and intercourse between the United States and foreign nations rests with the congress of the United States and its treaty-making powers, the Republican party, reurardinir the unrestricted immirration of Chinese as an evil of great magnitude, invokes the exercise of that power to restrain and limit that immigration by the enaetment of such just, humane and reasonable provision? as will produce that result. Seventh That the purity and patriotism which characterized the earlier career of R. B. Hays In peace and war, and wnion gmded the thought of his imme diate predecessor to him for a presidential candidate. have continued to inspire him in j, his career as chief executive, and that history will accord to his ad ministration the honors which are due to an efficient. just and courageous fullfilmcnt of the public busi ness, and will honor his interposition between the people and proposed partisan laws. Eighth We charge upon the Democratic party the habitual sacrifices of patriotism and justice to a su preme and unsatiable lust for office and patronage ; that to obtain possession or the national and state gov ernments, and of the control of place and position. thev have obstructed ail the efforts to preserve the purity and conserve the freedom of suffrage, have de vised fraudulent returns and. certificates, hrve labored to unseat lawfully elected members of congress to se cure at all hazards the vote ox the majority of the states in the house of representatives, have endeavor ed to occupy by force and fraud places of trust given to others by the people of Maine, and rescued by the courage and action of Main's patriotic sons, have by methods vicious in principle and tyranical in practice attached partisan legislation to appropriation bills : have crushed the rights of individuals and vindicated the principle and sought the favor of rebellion against the nation andfhavc endeavored to obliterate the sa cred memories of the war. to overcome inestimable good results, freedom and individual equality.
