The silly twaddle of “one-man pow er,” “ring,” etc.,which seems to be the favorite string upon which Turner and Watson persistently labor, is so very hypocritical and contemptible that we hardly deem it worthy of even passing notice. But the recent niasa meeting furnished such a striking illustration of this “one-man power in polities” of which they tell us, and paints their hypocrisy in such glowing colors that we cannot refrain from giving it. The “one man” who managed that little fiasco is not even a citizen of the county, but a carpet-bagger from Jose phine, where he is not in the best of odor. Not withstanding all this, be has shown himself capable of managing such a “mass” convention as they con. coded iiere on the 4th, and proved himself more than a match for the dupes who consented to the union and represented themselves as managing Republican interests. Cox accomplish ed a grand coup de etat, and the Green back “crow” that he dished up for Republican stomachs on that occasion seems to muny of that party the “dead est” carrion they were ever urged to swallow. Cox gained a great personal victory and cannot be blamed fur the feeling of pride that now elites him. Cox is “boss,” and no mistake. Declined to be Nacritices. Hou. T. F. Campbell, the Greenback nominee for Congressman,has declined iu a neat letter, which leaves that or ganization without a candidate for this office. Mr. Campbell well knows that he bad not the ghost of a show of suc cess and has no desire to be sacrificed in so vain a cause. Other candidates on that ticket may be expected to fol low. The absurdity of the movement is manifesting itself and it will figure but slightly in the contest. The Re publicans recognize in it a valuable ad junct to their success, but present ap pearances strongly denote that they will be sorely disappointed. It is ex tremely doubtful whether eDough Democrats will be found willing to give the State to our natural euemies through this third party hallucination. Ke<luce<i llltu. They have taken him io. Mitchell's satellites have captured poor Beek. and he is now under the training of Jo. Dolph and Rufus Mallory. He couldn’t withstand their overtures, and he has fallen. No more will the Ore gonian publish those pompous notices planned by his private secretary, and the Corbett fellows refuse to touch him—yea, with a forty-foot pole. Verily, the clouds become darker each day, and our fellow townsman will find himself swamped on the headwaters of Balt river next June. Josepiiiue Democracy. The first-class ticket presented by the Democracy of Josephine is entitled to the support of every Democrat in the county. It is composed of upright and competent men and should be uni versally endorsed. Time rolled on, Bybee protesting that be would never lend his influence to tho oppo sition again by becoming a candidate for Sheriff or any other office. Such were his public sentiments until he returned last Winter from Portland, the home ot John H. Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell had visited this county a short time before and had a long private consultation with Ross. What the subject between these two high functionaries was is not positively known. Suffice it to say, however,that the visit of Bybee to Port land, where he spent a considerable time, and Mitchell’s visit to this county and his secret conference with Ross, is followed al most immediately by the announcement that Bybee would be a candidate tor Sheriff again and Ross for Senator, in opposition to the Democratic party. Bybee was asked by his friends why be had faced about so suddenly on the promis es he had made his friends during the cam paign two years ago. His answer was: “I am going to fight the ring-n aster as long as I live in the county.” But Bybee and bis friends buried the local fight between Democrats in the last Presidential election. Every man who voted for Tilden is a Demo crat, ami is so regarded by every other Dem ocrat in the county. Why did he seek to renew this strife, and, if he wanted to be Sheriff, why did he not come into the Con vention of his own party and take his chances for the nomination with other com petitors? Said he, “I think I could get the nomination from the Democratic Conven tion, but the office would lie an injury to me if I had it; besides, I mean to fight Klip- pel as long as I live in the county.” We ask the Democratic voters of Jackson county, before they vote for Bybee for Sher iff, to ask themselves why he h is eaten his own promises made to Democrats two years ago? Why he has in conjunction with Brown and Watson, Mitchell's rightand left bowers, placed a ticket in the field with at least two Mitchell men on it for the legisla ture? Why he is himself on that ticket for an office which he says would be an “inju ry” to him to hold? Did Afitchell’s Port land tools fix matters with him while he was there, or did Hipplo arrange it with Ross and himself while here last Fall? Wil) the General and Bybee give the voters of Jackson county a little more light on this subject? How much will Mitchell give tor two votes from this eounty in the next leg islature, Bybee? You are a generous man, Bybee, but it would hardly be doing your self justice to say you are willing to be placed in an office that would lie an “injury” to you. How much does Mitchell give provided Father Kahler can ride into the legislature on your supposed popularity? And, if by any misfortune, you should be thrust into a place that would be an “injury” to you for the next two years, what is your security for such “injury?” We know these are what you will probably call impertinent questions; but when we re member your promises made two years since, your oft-re|»eated declaration that you would not be a candidate for Sheriff again, upto the time you went to Portland; then your sudden change and unceasing labor to get out a ticket, the mean-Fyou took in hum bugging Democrats inio assisting you, and your final success—when we calmly view all these circumstances, such questions force themselves uj>on us, and we ask them.

Dad Ross, candidate for Senator, has been before the conventions of all parties seeking nominations. Eight years ago lie pretend ed to bea rampant Deniocratand sought the nomination for Senator at the hands of the Democratic Convention. Failing in this he asked and received the nomination for Rep resentative, which nomination he declined after several days' deliberation, and then again endeavored to recall his declination. The County Committee refused to consid er bis last change of base and Ross has been anything to beat the Democratic party ever since. He lias no particular qualities to fit him for the position he aspires to, unless his avoirdupois goes for something. Bybee has a mania for thoSheriff’s office. He has been in pursuit of this bubble for many years and has performed more acro batic feats in politics than any other man know n to the history of Jackson county. Bybee cannot fill the office of Sheriff, and if elected the business of the office must be done by proxy—perhaps by Cox. E. B. Watson, candidate for Clerk, has al so been anything for office. He is net very particular, either, whether it is District Judge or Constable. Watson bad hardly dwelt among us a year when he ran for Prosecuting Attorney on the so-called citi zen's ticket of 1870. He is the acknowledged leader and originator of every mongrel tick et put up in this county since, and has done much to bring the Republican party of Jack- son county to its present demoralized con dition. He has no political scruples and is an astute wire-puller, with his eyo always open to tlie main chance.
