A meeting of the Democrstio Stats Cen
tral Committee will be held in the city of
Portland on Tuesday, May 18, 1880, for the
purpose of placing in nomination a candidate
ler State Trintoi, to be voted for at the en
suing June election. A full attendance of
the ooniinitte it nrgoutly requested.
0. V. Ukatik,
Chairman Dum. Stat Cen, Con,
T Dtmoerati,
Within the past six years Lane
county has been changed from a Solid
Democratic county to a doubtful one;
and among the causes that have opera
ted to produce this transformation, the
supporting of the Republican candi
dates for Clerk and Sheriff by Demo
crats, stands prominent The juirty
organization has been broken down
by Democrats, who have allowed them
selves to be prevailed upon to lend as
sistance to the Republican nominees
when able and competent men have
been selected for their suffrages by
Dcuiocratio conventions. Those o Dices
have an important bearing upon the
political complexion of the county, their
influence winning many votes that
would otherwise be caNt with the op
posing party. From their situation
they are brought in contact with
nearly every voter in the county, and
thus have the opportunity not only of
advancing their own interests in ensu
ing elections, but changing the doubt
ful and wavering to the advantage of
their entire ticket We trust that in
the year of an important Presidential
tdection, Democrut will not allow
themselves to bo boguilcu Into giving
any assistance to the Republican can
didates for these positions. The Dem
ocratic candidates can satisfy the most
searching test They are gentlemen of
probity apd honor, fully comjotcnt to
thoroughly perform all tho duties per
taining to those offices, and are entitled
to the favor and unreserved assistance
of every true Democrat
The Journal of last week insinuates
that ' Mr. Hendricks raid out silver
from the University fund when gold
had been sent him, silver being at that
time at a discount The implication is
Utte-ly without foundation. Only a
very small per cent of the money sent
was gold, and that, on payments of any
amount, was paid out in its just pro
portion. The friends of the University
have confidence in the man who his
done so much to promote iu welfare
and will not heed the false statements
pf the Mitchell organ.
Fob fear that some may be misled
in the premises w e are authorized to
State Uiat Gn, Lane ill vote for Gov.
WhiWker and work for his election to
the fullest extent of his ability. om.

George' Speech.
The faithful gathered at the Court
House Friday afternoon, May 7th, to
listen to the words of wisdom with
which they supposed their candidate for
Congress, M. 0. George, was pregnant
His effort however seemed to create no
enthusiasm among the throng, and Mr.
Whiteaker will lose no votes in Lane
by reason of George's harangue. He
began by assuring the audience that he
was in favor of allowing the past to be
buried and had no desire to awaken
the animosities engendered by the con
flict between the North and South; but
before he had progressed far, in his
talk, he seemed to forget his pacific ut
terances, and waved the bloody shirt
in the most approved stalwart manner,
The pretended cossrvatisra of his prefa
tory remarks was only a bait to lure
some unsuspecting Democrat to his sup
port He defended the infamous Fed
eral election laws, proving himself a
warm advocate of those political here
sies, that would destroy the hist vestige
of state rights, and build upon the
mournful ruins a strong centralized
government Mr. George lacks that
energy and force necessary to make an
efficient Representative, and would be
more at home in a parlor religious
meeting, than in the halls of Congress.
Survejor ind Cirontr.
. The Democracy in preparing the
county ticket acted sensibly in placing
men of ability upon the bottom of the
ticket Usually anyone is thrown in,
merely to fill up.
Our caadidate for Surveyor, Mr, M
S. Wallis, is well and favorably known
to the majority of our citizens.
He has every qualification necessary to
make a competent surveyor, and is a
thorough scholar having graduated at
the Christian College at Monmouth and
latter at the State University. He is
in every way worthy of the support of
all voters of Lane county who ' desire
the best ability in positions of public
importance. His opponent is a beard
less school boy, scarcely past the age
that brings with it the cares of man
hood. Mr. J. R. Ream, for Coroner, is an
energetic workman, and an undertaker
by profession. In other places, and es
pecially in cities, the oflice of Coroner
is always given to the undertaker, as
ho has especial facilities for caring for
the unfortunates, who weary of life
shufllo off tho mortal coil. The idea
that a physician is the only person, ca
pable of discharging the duties incident
to the o'l'ce, is erroneous. The Coro
ner has no need of possessing medica
knowledge, as a physician is always
furnished by the county to attend in
such cases.
liulhcr Thin.
The Jitiirwtl, in speaking of Parks
resigning the office of Assessor, says:
"His health had Wn poor and he
was likely to resign; Smith went to
the Hoard, composed entirely of Dem
ocrats, ana obtained a promise ot ap-
I ointment in case of Parks resigning,
'arks was not consulted by Smith un
til alter the Hoard hau agreed to ap
point smith.
T It
ro roosonauio man would be so
credulous as to believo that Smith
would seek the appointment before
having any understanding with Parks
that he would resign. The case is too
plain and Parks must assume the re
sponsibility of Smith's appointment
Tho people have no .assurance that
Park's health will not again get poor
and cause him to again resign if elected
especially if a consideration from
party interested in securing the posi
tion was thrown in sight. No; his
constitution is too fragilo to allow the
people to ploco the responsibilities in
cidont to the assessorship upon his
shoulders.
Be Easy.
TheAHany Democrat has the fol
lowing about the two Linn county
"emigrants, " that have been nominated
by the Republicans of Lane, for Sheriff
and Coroner :
"Don't be too hard on those two
emigrants, Mr. Campbell A Repub
lican's picking in Linn county is mighty
short, and we don't blame them much
for seeking other pastures. But we
can't see how the old Republican
wheel-horses in Lane will let those em
igrants take a front seat so soon."
Tin GroenWkers of Lane county
held a meeting here one day last week.
The reports as to what they did are
conflicting, but from what we can krn
they indorsed Hendricks for Seuator,
Wallace, Harpool and Zumwalt, and
nominated Shortridge of Cottage
Urove, for Representatives,
Pokt Oktord, Oregon has been e-
kcted as the site most suitable for the
proponed harW of refuge.
Letter f leeeplaiee.
Gov. Whiteaker has written the fol
lowing letter to the Standard, signify
ing his acceptance of the nomination
for Congress;
Editor Stahdabd: Dear Sir: I learn
through the public preu and aura by private
advioee from Oregon that the convention
which assembled at Albany on the 7tb of
April, placed my nanie before the people for
re-election to Congress.
As I did not eeek s public recognition
from a people with whom I have lived
long and who have ever treated me with
nnilorm kindness, I did not expect such a
compliment a their hands. While I cannot
fail to rxprrM my gratitude for this renewed
mark of esteem and feel justly proud of
their satisfaction and endorsement of my
course as their representative iu the pretent
Congress, aud of their confidence in my
usefulness and integrity in the i nture, shonld
the peeple of Oregon decide to retain me
here for another term, I can in all sincerity
say that had I have bees left free to act in
the matter, I shonld have conferred upon
another the place they have assigned to me.
I am, however, by their kindness and par
tiality prevented from asserting any choice
of my own.
Since I have been a member of the 40th
Congress I have ever striven to the best of
my ability to mbserve the best iuterests of
tbose whose servant I am. I have also the
satisfaction of knowing that where the in
terests of the peeple were involved, I have
never for a moment negltcted them.
In some of the measures which I have bad
the honor to present to Co gress fur its ac
tion I feel assured of success. There are s
few that may fail of passage; their failure,
however, (if such should be their fata,) shall
not be attributed to s want of attcntiou and
deep cencern en my part, bat to the common
fortune that attends every member of Con
gress in the high struggle for preferment,
where so many diverse interests are involved.
I value the good opinion of the people of
Oregos too highly te willingly forfeit it by
any wrong or inconsistent act on my part,
and this feeliog ef itself ought to be a suffi
cient stimulus to indue every man in publio
life to faithfully discharge every publio duty
the performance of which has been en
trusted to him by the people.
It is not to be expected that I can be at
home to participate in the labors of the can
vass which usually precede an election. By
the will of the people of Oregon I am here as
their representative to watch their interests
in publio legislrtion, to endeavor to relieve
their public wants and to cast my vote as
the representative of Oregon in legislating
for the welfare of the whole country. It
would not be in the line of my duty to ab
sent myself st this important period from
public duty, aud I could not conscientiously
neglect the publio interests to devote the
time justly belonging to the people, to sub
serve what might wtll be considered private
iuterests.
In the bauds of the people of Oregon I
therefore leave those iuterests while 1 re
main at my post of duty, If they believe
th.it I have served them faithfully and in
telligently aud that I shall so continue to do,
if re-elected, they will so determine at the
polls. If thev believe otherwise, by their
votes they will render their verdict.
Very reipectfutly your obt. servant.
John Wuitkakkh.
Ring flanriiverc.
It is really amusing to notice the
anxiety of the ringsters of the Repub
lican party to 'manage thepolitics of this
county. When the Republican County
Convention was held in this county, it
was arranged that Ben Simpson, who
had been out south looking after things
generally, should bo hero to "fix" tho
conventioa Cut he was delayed one
day and got here too lute to arrange
matters personally. But he had it
fixed to suit the Portland ring by cer
tain friends here, who were posted on
tho programme. Lost Saturday the
Grecnbackers had a meeting to arrange
and ngreo upon their plans. Up comes
Kelly from Portland to see that they
got things right for the Mitchell Cus
tom House "ring" of Portland. It is
understood that our Jeff, (Thomas Jef
ferson Smith) 'Will appear on the
ground" as soon as Kelly returns, and
will have charge of the party till elec
tion, w hen none, except thoso who can
say "Shibboleth correctly, will after
election bo recognized in the fold pre
sided over by Mitchell & Co. A vote
for the legislative ticket of the Repuli
lican party is a direct voto for Mitchell
the bigamist, alias John Hippie
Tits Democratic candidate for
County Treasurer, Mr. J. W. Skaggs,
deserves favorable consideration from
the people of Lane county. He is an
upright gentleman, honorable and pos
sessing every qualification necessary for
performing the duties of the oflice sat
isfactorily to the people. He was so
unfortunate lately, as to cripple him
self for life; the bestowal of the office
upon him, while not an act of charity
for ho can perform every duty accept
ably would be a tribute of confidence,
and grateful assistance to him. The
Republican candidate, and present in
cumbent, has already held the office
four years, and would not be materially
affected by losing the same.
Tui Grant faction claims to be mas
ter of the situation in Illinois, and pro
fess to be able to elect Grant delegates
at the State convention, which meets
next Wednesday. If these claims are
well fouuded, the "strong man" will be
the Republican nominee, as Illinois is
regarded as the pivotal State.
W. IL Odku. of the Statesman, has
been nominated by the Republican cen
tral committee for Statet Printer. He
is a chronic office-seeker, lacks popular-
ty, and will be defeated.
Tbi committee on ways and means
has fixed upon May 31st for the ad
journment of Congress.
The Seiatir.
Ed. Guard. Lively betting lias
been going on during the week between
the respective candidates for Sheriff
But we have heard of but one Republi
can, who was foolish enough to put up
his money on the Republican candi
date for State Senator, although sev
eral hundred dollars were offered and
still stands good that Hendricks will be
elected. We suppose however, that our
Republican friends are waiting for "our
Jeff" to come up from Portland
which no doubt he will do as soon as
Kelly gets back there, and has a meet
ing with the ringuters with the neces
sary funds' to "fix" the boys, and bet
vith the enemy. No '.'short cards" in
this though Jeff; it must be a square
"deal" and you must "fill" to win, as
one pair like Mitchell and Church
won't take the "pot"

"Is a platform just three feet above contra

if matters in that line continue in the future
as they have been goiug in the past, names
