We havo been asked repeatedly why we have oritiuNcil Mr. Faian ami said nothing about iho oilier R.i publican candidates. Wo think tht question needs no explanation. Mr, FitiKii was rvcuir nizLul as the mouth piece fr all the Republican candi dates and was necessarily supposed to represent their sentiments anl opinion, ami ueiieviuir, as we do, that at least three ot the le;isk uvea nominees on mat ticket, are pledged to vote for J. H. Mitchell lor United Sulci Senator, if elected, our criticisms apply to tliem as well us to Jlr. rusu. Ureon lint been anl uViently disgraced by Mitchell's pri vale record, to any nothing about tin irreparable injury !io has siitleri-d by his trickery in debating our rail ros'i interests unite a-muir hs our accredited representative. Ho .sue Coe led in imposing upon the ouiy b pu she lu I uf a ritiu4 1 conieclioii, the must einbaiTBssl.ig obstacles, uml has so Ur sueoeeded thai work is no uuen led ami will hot proceed, until a new bill is introduced or the pre sent one shorn of its embarrassing conditions. The president of I lie Northern I'acillu Riilioad Company emphatically slates I lint tie ootnpmiy Otn not, and will not ! proceed under such onerous provisions. Them th mat'er rests, and all may ace what Rr. si tilings Mr. Mitchell is doing tor Oregon. Yl notwithstanding this, we have the best reuaona for be lieving Uiat these gentlemen are to his support, ami will vote or his re eleetiou, if t',.ey should go to the lee'mlature, and it devolves tip on i he volts to sea that men do not (fo ! will saeriSoe the interests of the state, for a low paltry pennies aim is it not psteol ana clear to very no that Mr. Kelly and hit etnkrrs are exesting their utinost P-r to elcot these gentlemen, trad in,' the rest of the Republican o- unty iieaet on t accomplish their object K -lly'a Cuitom House office depend aimgnntr upon the re election of Mitchell, bence his great esgemwu, a ii n a matter oi aoiiari and rents with him. If Mitchell is not re-elected, Kelly k nows that bis official heal will fall, and he will be returned to bis fsnn where he properly belongs. While the men, Messrs. Fagan, Knox and Gilbert, are men of ordinary lutelHg. toe they art not the men to tend to lbs legislature. Mr. Gilbert is a faroii-r of fire or ait year resident- in this oouoty; amaothataund very iir with his neighbors, and although iu his ese we have oot the ixwitik proof that he ia pledged to Minhill, yet we do not toot that be would nut M a pliable tool in the hands a IU publican legislature and would vote j without any hesitation (or Mitchell, if Republicans so dictated. Mr. Knox, another Mitchell man, is a farmer and sheep raiser near Cottage Grove, but on account of his Mitchell proclivities most all of Ins neighbor! will leave bis name off their tickets. Mr. Fagan it a young lawyer of fair ability, but he is a stranger in the country and has not a single interest in common with the permanent resi dents and substantial men ot the coun ty. The people should take a lesson from their Higby experience, and not be to resily to trust their most vital Interests to the keeping of straugera. We have neycr intentionally done Mr. Fagan an injustice, and our per tonal intercourse and associations have been ot the most friendly charac ter. Our fijiht has not been with him personally, but nt the mouth piece and representative of the sentiments ot the Mitchell faction ol the Kepuo lican Diirtv. Now, il these gentlemen are not in lavor of Mitchell's reelection, why do thi-y not com come out and say "I will noL vote for him under any circumstances," mid then the matter would be settled. Let them rot give an equivocal answer, leaving a loop holt to crawl out at, but let them be honest and not try to deceive iho people. Let them represent the will of their constituents if they are true represents lives, and not bow with fiibiuiss.ve heads to the dictation ot Federal office hidden. Why do not toese gentlemen cme nut and answer over two huml-eil of the best Kepuu lies us in L'lia county in regard to the matter? The people have right to know whether their represen tatives will truly and faithfully rep resent thoir interests or not, and it is their duty to know. 1 hey havo not been disfranchised vet and are not likely to be, bu' of course. Mu'xre latraii, Knox and Gilbert cnnnol "serve God and mammon," and per baps have received sutlicietit assttr ances from the Mitchell clai-qners ot their election, lint the honest men of Lane couiiiv will tell them a dil terent storv next Monday. EdiDUDtli the Truitor. From the Stat lights Democrat. We lai-t niuht received a letter (mm a member ot the Mulinomuh County l)i mod alio Central Coin milieu which shows the perfidy him villuiny of Eumunds, the Greenback apostle, in the tirooer huh. Uur cur respondent says: "Edmunds, iho Grcenbiicker, le here yesturd y, and I think he cone to Lim count) on sonio mission for the Custom House Ring He has been lor weeks trying to sell out us, following us with persistent i to i m portunities for money, and offering t let the Greenback Stile ticket go by default if tre would put htm.

A day or two hi tore he led lioie ho appeared to be very much exasperated tvi h the (.'us torn limine fellows, and said to mem burs ot our Committee that thev hud given him $'100, and had promise) more: Hint they had taken a chutie ni'irtgage on the Lubor World tor the $300; thai they had failed to give him more money as promised, but h id lie to him nud deceived him, ami he said he h id u notion to ' blow the whole thing. n This precious tale of his is oiiiirmeu n 'lie tact mat more is hand mortgage on file in the Cleik'i olliee in Multnomah county, in Jot Simon's handwriting, from the Jtbor World Company, hv hdmunds President, lo A.

As oorrohoi alive testimony, going lo snow that bditiund it in this bus iness we desire to slat that we saw linn al various points in Linn county during the pre.cnl week, and In seemed to he following the canvass ers iii niiM'hiet bent."

"One ot the lit publican candidate lo Linn," say. the JkmOirut, '-says he ia not pledged to ncr in favor ol Mitchell's te eluciion lo the Senate and expects to get off on that dodge! Of course he miv not be uledircd to Miichell, and he may not be In favor of him, but why don he and the rest of them come squarely out and say tney uui not uudtr owy circum$taucu tot for h'nn t Thai's what the i-o pie want to know, and no amo-int ot dod-iegso l equivocsiion will satisfy he honest lUpuhlicsn voirra on thi qtusiion." Tba.'a what' the matter here. They won't answer. ! nflO ABE VOTERS. We havo beco asked the question frequently ot late who are legal voters. The following, Irom tho (regottian, auswera the question, except in re gard to students attending educa tional iiisiuuiioiis, outside ol the uouuiies to which their scholarship are accredited. We have the opinion of several ot tho most prominent lawyers in the stale on this question, ' . , I. r .1 .. and, wiiuoui a single exception, iney decide that a student from any other county, cauuoi acquire a residence iu the county in wuich trie educational institution which be ia temporarily attending is situated. The Oregun'utn i-ays: The usual inquiry as to quali b'calioua of voters is being made. Many are not clear on the subject, and seek inlormation. Thev want to kuow the conditions on which they may vole. Six months residence iu Oicgou prior to this election is ueces sary. rersciis ot foreign birth, in addiliuu lo Hie six mouths residence, must hiive declared their intention to become citizens ot the United Stales ol'o year preceding this election, con lormably with the laws on ihiauljecl of umuialuaiion. To entitle one to vole (or county officials and members of the legislature he must have been a rcsiucui ol tho county tor the lust ninety days preceding the e'ection, and must vote in tne precinct in which he resides. Il, however, one has resided in good laith in a county nine ly days nuxl preceding Idie election, but has no fixed resilience or domicil iu any particular precinct therein, he may vole iu any particular precinct in which he Cuds himseit ou the dav ot election. It ia. perhaps unncces caiy to go further into this subject since the olh r qualifications and con dilious required by law are knowu to everyone. Judges ol election win hod geneneral instructions on pages f)03 ami 6C9 of the Oregon code, copy ot which should be had at every polling place tor ready reterence. The way to get a railroad would be to work for all the aiu tnal couiu oe nan win. Tim wuv not to cat it is to saddle it with amendments, rest ictions and conditions which fbrbid success, bince this last policy has been followed rather than the Hint, the inevitable rosult is fully apparent Urego- nixn. Mitchell has thoroughly and persist entlv saddled every attempt to get direct railroad com nuiiication be twei-n Oret'on ami the east will. "umendmrlits, restrictions and condi tions." tor the express pnrpOHo of kill imr those mensures. lie has been ihc tool of the Cert ral Pacific, and the money ol the rnanagcts ol that gigan tic corporation has paid him tor bis treason and perndv to hit constituent, Dolnh will do the same. Remember that a vote for the Republican ticket next Monday is it vote for California and eastern railroad sharks, and Vote against the most vital interests ot the people ot Oregon. We are just now, having a surfeit ol Republican rascality. Hardiy a journal of any respcctablity or inde pendence can bo opened that docs not contain tact ol corruption in ollicial places. The latest under this head comes in the shape ol an "off icer who testified beforo the House Committee that the cost ot manufact uring Springfield rifles was (75 and thai outside firms could make them lor 13, and ouuide manufacture dur ing the war involved an immense ad ditional expense tn.the Goveroment." Bogus Tickets. Democratis must look closely at their tickets on elec tion day, says iho Standard, as al ready the Cuxlom House Ring has had Democratic tickets printed, with ono or more Republican names on i hem in place ol those ot the regular candidates. Some of these "doctored" tickets have already been sent to Columbia comity, and the samo thing will probably be done through out the Stale. Wonder how much Custom House money John Kelly's cashier brought tip to buy votes lor Mitcliell. Cn anybody tell 7 Uo3 Ktlly sent the Custom louse infant up here last Sutur- lay to wt thinsra in shape, and find out where rin? money would do the most codd. The attenu ated juvenile has made several pil primages to outside precincts m this county, and we presume thit the lioy lecame befogged, ns the lJoss made his appear ance yesterday morninp;. it is patent that Kelly's salvation leponds upon Mitchell's elec tion, hence the Uoss anxiety to elect Mitchell representatives from this county, if Mitchell is not to be an important factor in the coming election, what does all this honey-fugling mean? t means jnst this,and this alone, 'hat Mitchell is to be re-elected f money will do it r rom J auction City we learn that the "war horse" of the cam paign will probsjhly get the maximum vote of the Republi can party. Ihe reason triven or this is that most if not quite 1 ot tne Kepu ti icans ia that ocality are Mitchell men. HITCIIELLISM. It it a sad commentary upon the State of Oregon to be represented to the United State! Senate by auch a man a John Hippie Milcdeil. w Den a man it elected to Congress it ia far better to let all hia crimes sleep in ei leuce rather than cnearth them, there by crippling hi influence in that as sembly. It it better that tliey snouiu not be exposed to tne piionu gszu until bit term of office expires. But when men like Mr. Mitchell seek to be re elected to the highest office, withic the gift ot the Slate of Oregon, it is but riirht and just that every voter should thoughly understand hi character and bis reputation. It ia a well knowo fact, and Mitchell a most ard uous snDDorters.can not successfully deny it thai Mitchell is ou embezzler m m.veral thousand dollars: that he robbed his partner, then sloped to the Pacific cast; it is a well known fact that Mr. Mitchell ia a seducer, it not, let bis iriends answer, who it was that brought disgrace and ruin upon the bend of poor Sadie Hoon? his descried wife, let them deny if they will, th3t he was not a bigamist, having two wives at the same time, and God only know how many more he was holding illicit intercourse with. Ami proof will be brought them that will convinno the most skeptical ot his dastardly conduct. Let Mr. Kelly or any of hi henchmen who are now doing nis dirty work in Lane county, deny that Mr. Mitchell is not guilty ot the whole catalogue of human crime, being an emlezzler, hypocrite, addulteren and seducer, ami hundreds ot witnesses will stand up lo confront ihem. It seems that the cries of hit victims would ever torment them when defending tucb an abominable wretch a villian whose character is as black as stygian darkness, and whose whole course of life has been one of crime and mis demeanor. The man who changed his name, to shield himself from the disgrace and infamy that always follows in the wake of such criminals. Let his hanchmeii work; let his daily workers distribute his funds, so lavish ly furnished by the Central Pacific Railroad Company, but the people of Oregon the voters of Lane county, will repudiate him, and bis gnugers. Mitchell has injured Oregon for an incalctiahle amount. Il it had not becu tor him, we would now be en joying the benefits arising from nn ot iter railroad connection wilh the cast. His labors have been as barren of good results to the people of Ore gon as can bo well imagined. In every particular, it seems he lias en deavored to injure her. He has so burdened the Northern Pacific Rail road bill with onerous provisions that the building of that rond has been delayed ten years. Tho Northern Pacific Railroad company itself will not hear lo the restrictions that Mitchell desires to' put upon them they say those provisions are impos sible impracticable and unreasonable, and they will not accept them. Yet this is the man that tho Custom House ring of Port land are endeavor ing to force upon the people of Ore gon tor the next six years. This is the man they seek to elevate con trary to the wishes ot the greater portion of their own party and the whole mass of the Democratic party. Outside ot the Federal ofliee-holders, there arc but few that desire him. Men who have tho welfare of the State al heart do not desire to Bee it dishonored by so vile and perjured a traitor as Mitchell. It is their right and privilege to know whether the man lor whom ihey cast their ballot, if elooted, will support Mitchell or not. Not many men will vote for a representative that they know will do exactly opposite to their wishes. Representation carries wilh it a dit ferent meanintr. To be a true rep rescntative, it i necessary to rrpre- sent ami carry out the will of the people, in whoso place ou stand, and unless yon do this you are not a true representative. It is no just nor right that a man should represent i s in the halls ol Congress that is the choice of only ono tenth of the voters, nor will tl at mm represent us if tho voters will do their duty. Money has a great -influence during election, but we opine that the amount brought up by ihe Custom House strikers will no) change the- result of tho election. The voter of Lane count y should be determined that their will shall not be thwarted, and vote only for men tint they know will not support Mitchell; vole only for men ho have honesty and can dor enough to como out and ssy they will not support him, and then they will be sure they will not be deceived. The Walla Walla Statesman says: "Capt. Crandall, after visiting various portions of this county, with a view of purchasing a stock farm, returned to Portland ou Tuesday. We under stand that the Captain will return at an early day, and wilt take up his residence here." That "stock farm" business is '.he thinesl kind of a joke. He is one of Mitchell's strikers and has been all over eastern Oregon dis bursing the corruption fund, and went over to Walla. Walla, under the pretence ot looking lor a farm, for a blind. The con titty' worst evil, accord ing to the New Tork Tribxtnt. are Congress and Cotrrnunb-m. Oregon's orst evil are the Custom Hone ring and J. II. Mitchell, attorney for the Central Pacific Railroad. Shcrpberd and StCtmas Every Democratic paper, as well t- .a In 4 & at every nonest ieraocra m w Slate will heartily endorse the follow ing castigation of the Standard ot Orpfron renecradet. Anaii all the Democrat! in that region are ) as true and honest as we know tome of them are, they will let Shep herd and McCcmas either sell out or close up lor want of Democratic patronage. The Standrad flayt them tbut: As might be expected, Shepherd "of the so-called Baker City Democrat is in a ruge at Mr.Noltner. It the first place, we would inform the pal sied old mummy who imbibes anima tion in liquid form in euch quantities that it has a soporific effect, that Mr. Noltner had nothing whatever to do with the nublication of that black mail letter ot "shepherd's, and that he has not written a line lor this paper for over a month. The heinous charge that Mr. Noltner is a pirate in newspaperdora, because lie tanes State newt without credit, Is very amusing. inasmuch as evey item is re written in this office, or else due recognition made of its source, and punctilious Shep. takes this work ot ours by the column, word tor word, and never sayi Standard once. His second charge ngainsl the Democratic candidate betrays the animus oi a disaoDointed aspirant lor office. He accuses Messrs. Brown ami Nollner of sellinir out Eastern Oregon in one of our hotel, when it is known here by every one that at the time ot the Democratia convention Mr. Noltner was sick at his home, so sick, in tact, that doubts of nis recovery were felt The fact that Mr. Noltner cannot run a oaner that Shep. the blackmailer and Democrat only when paid for it can respect, is a feather in the next State Printefs headdress and a sub- iect of congratulation. The visit ot Simpson, Crandall ami Waters to Union has had us etteei on MeComas. of the Sentinel. IL- now tiirlits Messrs. Brown and Noli ncr and prints correspondence favor ing the Greenback movement, hoping thus to cripple the Democratic parly, lie is fortunately known to be a man of no character, and his "bolt" is well understood. Men like E. S. Mo Comas and J. M Shepherd, have dis graced themselvesaml their party pro fession,and if we cannot keep them permanently in Radical ranks, where they now aro working, it will be no faults uf ours. A wolf i.n sheep's clothing, or a man pretending to be a friend while an enemy at heart, is very much more dangerous than an open too. Shepherd and McComas try to im pose upon their readers the absurdi ly that they are Democrats, while at the very same time are using every endeavor to defeat their candi dates. Calling themselves Demo crats, they publish base libels on tho nominees of the Democratic ticket, whioh aro eagerly snatched and spread by Republican editors wilh tho caption : "Seo what a Democr;il says ot his own ticket." Conduct like this on the part of paper is like stabbing a man in the dark an of fense that an editor so low as lo sell out to Republicans, would undoubt edlv be guilty of. We brand the Sentinel, of Union, and the Bedrock Democrat, (Heavens, what a misno mer !) o' Baker City, with being traitors lo the cause of Democracy, bought by Kadical gold, and camion those ot our party who would pre serve their principles and their char acters undebled, to aid us in forcin them out of the Democratic ranks. Tbcir Game. That Mitchell is to be made United Slates Senator in the event ot the eleu tion of a Republican legislature is be coming more apparent every day. From all pans ot the State the now reaches us that Central racino Rail road money is being used In-ely lo secure the succe-s ot the Republican legislative ticket. In every county m the State candid. ilea fur all minor of fices will be ignored by the Miuhell wing of the Republican party. The sole object of this faction is to secure the legislature in the interest ot Mitch ell. This they expect to accomplish by swapping any or all oilier candi dates off lo sicu.e members id ihe leg islature who are favorable to the rinir. Ihe people ot Uregon have not lor gotten the villainous means by which the Republican legislature that elect ed Mitchell was secured. The O. & C. Ii. R. was then under the control of Ben. Holla lay, whose unscrupulous performances and villainous acts could only be exceeded by those of Mitchell The people of Oregon have not forgot ten the infamous dodge resorted to by Ben. Holladay and his striker and henchmen to secure a majority in the legislature. It is true that Holladay and most of his crew are gone from the State, but Hontington and the Central Pacific managers are putting np tor Mitchell. John Kelly and two or three Cus tom House strikers have been in t jwii ibis week, and since their advent, a few impecunious cusses, who never bad a dollar before, now have money to bet on tbe Mitchell, candidate. These fellows will be Mattered through every precinct in the State and il b boovis every man to watch them. Which on of the Republican eacdi!ata far tAWgnltr was it that said ka had tor independence thai to "Ufl tvtry d d bammsr ia the eoDtry" what he would do if be was tWM Don't all speak at ooec 1 While the Renuhlixin . .... 1 vauuiuilies for tbe leeiBlature are rUf;,.;. . as cheek i concerned, to go before the peopio ana paoiioly declare that they will, if eleoted, vote, for Mitchell for Senator, they will not and dare not for tear of being excommumcated oy sunn neiiy proclaim publicly that they will not vote for him Tk- question ia being asked every day, juu ur win you not yote for Mitchell? and the only response that hub wen niaue in answer thereto to use the language of a. U..n.v..J candidate, is, "it ia very necessary that I shonld be a man." A man how? By leaking free use of n..k iion-committal platitudes at these and thereby deceiving the people by making them believe you are not a Mitchell man? What is there, we ask, ffbntained in thii statement, that woiini prevent a man from voting for. Mitchell and by doing ao violate no pledge he may have made excepting ihe one that he"hould be a man." None whatever. IfMiicheU'a pals were sure that the Republican can didales for the legislature were not Mitchell men, why is it that one of mem, a ioi mer resident of Eugene,, is here spendin? both limn nd tnnnuv and taking such a iivi.lv intun.ut. in the sucess ot the . Republican- ticket. , That a certain pro essional "bummer and dead beat, whom John M. Johu'a succeeded in changing politically six years ago, has already been fixed, from 3ppearences, makes the Repub lican ticket stink louder than ever of Hippleisra. Voters, do you want Mitchell tor Senator: il not. vote the- n :.:i.. ' ' Mi iiuiui mm ucKei, Remember, that Gov. Whiteaker is an open and fearless enemy to banks, rings, mo nopolies, and jobbery of every kind, and that if he is elected will make an honest and efficient fight against these enemies of the people. Let it be observed that the Northern Pa cific Railroad Company never did accept the bill which has passed the Senate, and not only positively refuse to accept it now, but have made preparations to amend it in the House so as to tree it of its onerous provis ions and make it worth something to the company and the country. All the tram mels by which this bill was shackled were the invention of Mitchell, and were intended to defeat the Northern Pacific. Mitchell will never consent to the passage of any bill unincumbered by onerous conditions. A vote for the Republican legislative candidates in this county is a vote iu favor of the Central Pacific monopoly and a vote against any di rect communication between Oregon and the east. Let voters i-AirtAmhar ttiin n..f Mon day. The heavy man of the Journal, iu a col umn of whang-doodle heroics puts his foot in it in this way, in reference to our State Democratic administration: "In this carni val of plunder the like of which was never known under Republican management iu this or any other State." If the Ettle inno cent will read the history of Belknap, "Boss" Shepherd, Robeson, Babcock, and the thousand and one other publio robbers foster ed by the Grant administration, he will find that there was not a Democrat among them. And if he will read farther he will find that prosperity has steadily followed iu the foot steps of Democratic success. As Usual. The Custom House ring have had some half dozen missionaries here dur ing the past week. The price of bummers and repeaters has "riz" since 1872, and they had to pay the only one in market 50 for his vote, while in 1872 J. M. Johns bought it ior $10. Jim MuClareo says the Iahmaelite who re ported that he was a candidate for Sheriff ou the Greenback ticket is a "dirty liar, and if he had the courage would rob hen roosts." Mo. is a Democrat and will work and vote for Yates. Beetnt Discowla. Until just now, says the Oregonian, when he wants to be re elected Mitchell and his claquers never heard that the Columbia river was controlled by a monopoly. Last congress when the Northern Pacific bill was UD was totally indifferent ft l,.n' leard of the monopoly, didn't imagine that linn measure naa anytmng to ilo with tbe interests of the country, and so allowed the bill to I ass tbe senate wirhnnf. niu llnM. of SUfTffestinn nr unnnaitinn Vat V.- l.ill do - I I v wa.nw uui contained no word about building the road on the south Side of the Columbia ; it hadn't a single savins clause for th ricrht. f the settler, didn't mention any portage roads ami (tlllll't.

It's all the same. Dolph is Mitch ell's partner, and if the Republicans succeed in eb-cting tbe legislature it makes little difference which is elect ed to the Senate.
