WEATIIERFORD, T. C. OWEN, J. G. FULTON. Radical Cerrnplioa. When the campaign opened, the na tional Democratic Committee made ar rangements with the telegraph compan ies to hare all telegram returnel as vouchers for the bill rendered. Under this arrangement the telegrams have been returned weekly, and paid for ac cording to contract. On the 20th of October the Western Union Telegraph company returned to the committee vouchers as usua for the second week in OctoW. Upon examination the fol lowing telegrams weri found in a pack age, evdiently having been placed there by a mistake of the clerk of the Tele graph Company. Ri-hh, Oct. 12, 1880. To Hon. Chat J.

The numerals 150, 100, 100 mean no many men. The last telegram in which these figure occur tells its own tory.

Indiana was carried by fraud, and hardly had the .result been determined, when this discovery of Radical corruption and colonization was made. The telegrams have been lithograph ed and scattered broadcast The inju ry to the Republican cause from this discovpry will I immeasurable, and injunctions have been applied for by the National Republican Committee, and the Telegraph Company to restrain tho Democratic National Committee from circulating tho lithographs. "LET IT CO AS A LOAN." tbc treenbark Stale. There is now no question that Gen. Weaver, tho Greenback candidate for President is in tho employ of tho Re publicans. Mr. Dyer I). Lum, Assis tant Secretary of the National Green back Committee, has written a letter stating that in tho early part of the canvass Weaver received larie sums of money from tho National Republican Committee for campaign services. Lum remonstrated with him for accepting money from such a source, and Weaver excused himself by saying that he could not have visited tho Soutlu rn States without it The course of Gen Weaver during the campaign seems to warrant the charge. In Alulaiiia and Arkansas he favored fusion w ith Republicans. In Maine, tho only State in which it is J possible for him to carry an electoral vote, be bitterly denounced fusion with the Democrats, He went to Alalama ostensibly to stuaip tho state for hi party; he returned with a liatch of baseless outrago stories, which, he used against the Democracy. He did his best to kindle strife in Maine and de feat Plaisted's election. He has done his Vest to earn the money for which be sold his party. GreenWker who vote for Weaver give their support to a Judas, w ho has old himself for Republican gold. Gartield says that corporations and individuals "have tho right to buy la bor where they can get it cheapest" lie would open the labor market to the millions of Chinese, who would ruin our laloring classes and bring ruin upon our country. A vote for Gar field and the Republican party is a vote for the continuance of Chinese im IluUiiDcBwrair i The best definition we have ever seen of a Democrat is from the pen of Mr. Jefferson. He deCned a Demo crat as one who maintains "equal and exact justice to all men.; the support of the State governments in all their rights; the preservation of the general government in its whole constitutional vigor; a jealous care of the right of election by the people, atolute acqui escence in the decisions of the majority; the supremacy of the civil over the mil itary authority; economy in the public expense, the honest payment of our debts, and sacred preservation of pub lie faith; freedom of religion; freedom of the press; freedom of the person un der the protection of the habeat corptit and trials by juries impartially se lected." We would ask any candid man if he does not recognize the por trait of Hancock in these words. Just read his every letter and public act, and see if they do not accord entirely with every word and expression quoted. "LET IT CO AS A LOAN. GARFIELD to A MLS. Trji0$l Boy Ticlorjr 3Iany of the Republican leaders, those who have become rich by giving and taking bribes, says the Troy I'rw, are possessed with the idea that the party with the most money is going to succeed this time. They cannot get a higher idea of the people of this coun try than that their votes are held as so much merchandise. This accounts for the various intimations we see in Re publican newspapers that this or that State can be carried for Garfield if the National Committee offer such sufficient financial encouragement." But are not these men wrong? Are the people of theja United States pre pared to admit that they will sell the Presidency, "that the party which has the largest purse can buy success for its candidate? If they are so prepared then are our institutions a failure, and the attempt to create a self governing community may be given up. rnjutl The people of Lane county have an accommodating'?) Sheriff Nearly a month ago ho promised the Court House to the Republicans for the last two nights of the campaign, without any consideration of tho rights of the Democrats in the matter. Neither party has paid for the use of the build ing, and if he had been controlled by any sen.se of right or justice he would not have engaged it to one party for the two principal nights of the cam paign. The law gives control of county projrty to the County Court, and we hope that this arbitrary exercise of authority by the Sheriff will be prop erly rebuked by that court. The Democrats of Eugene raised $1 20 with which to take tho Eugene Brass Band to Portland on the excur sion train last Thursday. The Band was all ready to go when one of the Republican members made a trivial ex cuse and refused to go as the band had contracted. His action in this matter is freely condemned by Repul licans as well as Democrats. The aforesaid member should place his credit on unassailable ground be fore ho impugns that of others. "Those who live in irlass houses should not throw stones." To hear tho Republican cry of in timulatton ot lator in the isoutn one would 8Upp.se they could not be guilty of such acts. There is ono Republican in this county who lelieves in intim idution. His namo is B. J. Pknura and he is owner of a milling property which employs quite a number of bauds. He publicly stated tho other day Wore some of his employes, that u any man working lor mm voted tor Hancock, he would turn him off the day after the election. Hold him up to the scorn of honest men. $329. iUBboutn was solid under nejrro and carget Iwgger domination for six years and yet the Republicans were not alarmed. The thieves and ignorant blacks were at last compelled to take their legitimate" positions under the in telligenee and wealth of the South, ant now Radicalism of North utters the doleful cry of "Solid South." They would admire a Solid Republican North, and abhor a Solid Democratic South." Col. Nfjmith said in his speech Wednesday that Garfield ran so fast at Cliickainasga that Hen Owens coul hae plaved "seven up" on lis coat taiL 1 Prrgiasl Inner. While Hon. Lyman Trumbull, Dem ocratic nominee for Governor of Illi nois, was recently speaking at Du Quoin, in that State, a colored listener interrupted him to ask him what the Democrats had done since the close of the war to entitle them to success in 1880. Momentarily dropping the thread of his address Mr. Trumbull quietly.replitd: Among other things, my friend, the Democratic party in 18S0 has nominated for President the man who saved the Union at Cettyt burz: and for Governor of Illinois the man who wrote and reported to the Sen ate the constitutional amendment that made you a citizen and a voter!" This answer is pregnant with significance, and, as showing which political party stands to-day as the true champion of Union and equality. Mr. Blaine told a questioner at War saw, IiL, that he had found it difficult to believe that Grant had really used the language about Hancock which the Rev. Dr. Fowler put in his mouth; Hancock's military record was "beyond criticism." and it would be great folly in Grant to "scrape up personal ill feeling." Being asked whether Grant was jealous of Hancock, Mr. Blaine re plied that he might be, but, if so, it was an unreasonable jealousy; Grant had had all the honor the people could give him, and he should now be satisfied. Mr. Blaine commended Hancock's good sense in taking the matter so coolly and expressed the opinion that nothing $329. I know Gen. Hancock. He will his duty. Politicians will riot control him. Neither factions nor sections will intimidate him. He will execute the laws of the land with all their safe guards and guarantees, without fear or favor. The support he receives in the south rebukes if it does not silence geo graphical prejudice. And if the North refused its favor to one of tho greatest of its commanders the reproach of in gratitude that would rest upon us, might challenge unwelcomed comparison with our late adversaries. The north not ungrateful Gettysburg de serves to name a President, and Han cock impersonates Gettysburg. Elect Hancock and the commerce of the nation that has withered and died under the Republican administra tion will revive, and our flag will again wave predominant on the ocean. The aoific state especially Oregon and Washington Territory have abundant facilities for ship building, but the un just and protective legislation of the Republican party makes it impossible 'or the American shipbuilders to compete with the British The consequence is that nearly all our products are carried in foreign bottoms. $329. Pkhockats, examine your tickets be fore placing them in the ballot box. Tho names of the Democratic Presiden tial Electors are J. K. WEATIIERFORD, T. G. OWEN, JAMES FULTON The Radicals are desperate and will use any means to circumvent the will of tho people. Tue Republicans w ho were so anx ious to defeat the confirmation of Hon. B. F. Dorris, as a regent of the State University, and went below to accom plish their purpose, had all their pains for nothing. Governor Thayer has shown his confidence in the probity of Mr. Porris by appointing him a Re gent to servo until tho next meeting of the Legislature, two years hence. Con k lino's argument that no- mat ter how corrupt or falso Garfield may be, Republicans should look beyond the standard-lcarer to the standard, makes a Republican nomination like a draught from the fabled spring, which made men forget truth and honor, their country and their kind; deadened the finer feelings, and petrified the con science. "LET IT GO AS A LOAN." Wb understand that the Republican tickets have on them only the names of the candidates for Presidential Elec tors. The Republicans have still some sense of shame The names of their spotted tainted candidates cannot be swallowed by decent Republicans. The reason that so many Republicans are not certain that Hancock was at Gettysburg or anywhere else in the war is that they didn't see him there. They were not, it should t recollected, there to see him. 1 Cirropl rartr u4 TaliUd CudldiU. Editor Gcabd: On the 25th of February, 1873, while discussing tM report of the Poland Committee which conviciea Arw, v... and others of accepting bribe at the bands of Oakea Ames, Geo. W. Mc- Crary, one of the members of that . T 11? committee, a prominent nepauuom and now a U. S, Judge said : "If cor ruption here" (in Congress) "can be tolerated or excused, the liberties of the people cannot long survive, for there can be no respect for the laws without respect for the law-makers. What those persons have done wt all know; The particular acts are not dis puted." . After reviewing the investigation at length and citing the evidence in the case, as became an able attorney, he, near theclos of his speech, announced this conclusion : "Now, sir, in this case, if the facts which the committee have found art true, the purpose and object of these corrupt transactions was to secure in fluence not alone in the Fortieth Con gress, but in subsequent Congresses as welL The Union Pacific Railroad Company and the Credit Mobilier ex pected to require, perhaps, not positive legislation, but they desired to prevent unfriendly legislation in all these Congresses. I have no doubt that they would have been glad if they had had the power to have prevented this investigation." This speech and this language can be found in the Congressional Globe, 3d Session of the 4 2d Congress. Appen dix, pp. 123 and 127. Though the history of the Credit Mobilier and the part taken in it by nifinurra ui vuiiiroo uu uru emu lated and held up to the gaze of every intelligent voter in the land, till Col fax. Bingham, Brooks, Ames, Schofield and others had almost been forgotten. so far as their appearance in public life was concerned, yet Oarnela ana JVeiiey remain, and as if to show a profound l t ir j. contempt for public opinion, decency and honor, 'James A Garfield is ths nominee for President of the party for which Judge McCrary spoke in 1873. If corruption is not only tolerated in Congress, but is made respectable by attempted promotion, and is to be car- ried alonz to the Executive Mansion, tlf i. ilk,,:-,, ftf th trip nponle Inn can the liberties ot the the people long i survive r Judge McCrary thought not There is no doubt that the whole Re publican party is sorry the Credit Mo bilier investigation was made, but it was made, and by a Republican Com mittee, and new the great work of that great party seems to be to prevent any further investigations by its members or any one else. Having stultified itself, the Republican party loaded with shame, crimes untold and dishonor that time cannot efface, pretends to respect honor, honesty and purity in the affairs of the government, while its only hope of success depends upon frauds, on bery, corruption, federal and illegal in terference at the polls and every scheme that corrupt men can invent to thwart the w ill of the people. If such things are successful, if perjury is re- warded ana corruption tojeraiea, me liberties ot the people can not long sur- vive so said McCrary, and so the peo- pie will soon realize if Garfield is elected as Hayes was, and he expects to be ana can vmj .h,, y iruuua limil. J'KMOC-KAT, $329. From Gen. Sickles Speech for Hancock. Among all the illustrious men who have been called to the chief magistracy, none have more commended themselves to the favor of the people by a scrupulous adherence to the best traditions of our public life. Unused to the arts of the politician, separated by his profession from political organiza tions, and never seeking office, his nom ination by a vote that represented all parts of a common country is a pledge of fraternal feeling that will b ecome a guarantee of peace and union in his election. Garfield's record shows him to be a constant friend of monopolies, capital, and class legislatioa Elect Hancock and the interests of the laboring class will bo subserved." , The Chinese Six Companies, of San Francisco, have contributed largely to the llepublicans to assist the election nf Garfield. Thev understand who their friends are. Democrats should see that every vo ter favorablo to Hancock goes to the polls. With our f uTJ vote -we can carry-1 the State. Those who are in favor of an honest administration of srovernroent will vote for Hancock and English. Garfield is the friend efthe Chi nese. Read his letter to Morey. Headquarters?
