f ,1 t - i" l'HE OREGON SEN UN EL JACKHWVti.I.K I Wednesday, Augost 4, 1880. FOR PRESIDENT, JAS. A. GARFIELD, Of Ohio. TOR "VICE PRESIDENT, CHESTER A. ARTHUR . Of New York. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS, GEO. B. CURRY, of Grant E. L. ApPLEGATE.ofLinn. C. B.WVTON.ofLake. The Hancock hurrah died out very decidedly and very won. and the Dem ocrats are not as happy as they were. A change of six votes would give the Republicans control of tlte United States Senate. This change will be made in 1881. A soldier verging on his three-score cannot lie -turned into a fctateMnan on a week's notice, even for the exigencies The Democratic party haR been fac ing for twenty years. Is thp country prepared to assume the expense of til ing such a ca ity as the Democratic stomach must bet It anould lie rememberer! that the Democrats ran a greater Union Gener al than Hancock, Gen. McL'lellan, to utter defeat, because of the doctrines with which ho was handicapped. Hancock hns no legitimate basis of strength. The people will conclude that there.is a wide inconsistency in the dual character of Union soldier and Democratic candidate w hich is peculiar to say the least. . The Democrats cry aloud for a change at a time when the country is prosperous and stable. There can hardly be a change save for the worse, and the peojilo are not stupid enough to invite that. ' Senator Matt H. Carpenter says that the man who said that Wisconsin would not po for Garfield is the worst kind of a fool that Garfield would not only carry the State, but he will do it by a largely increased majority. This is the worst of all times in which to try the experiment of a figure head President. It ii a time, of com mercial, and industrial actuitvv ami a it who understands " Snanctai industrial problems is tho guide tho countrv 'needs. The Democratic platform favors tar iff for revenue puipoi-es oidy; and yet with control of both houses of Congress they have done nothing to modify" the tariff they so unstintedly denounce. Words are cheap. Tho test 'of their sincerity is the act, The election of General Hancocl', brave and soldierlj though he is, with opinions unconfirmed by vears of prac tical experience in political all'airs, und surrounded and influenced as lie must be by Democratic politicians, would be taking a leap in the dark. Will some Democra ic statesman now rise and point to a single act of the representatives of his party, since they obtained full control of Congress to anything which they said or did, or refrained from rh ing or doing, eith er in extra or tegular session, which gives any proof of their capacity to ad , minister the Government with credit to themselves or safety to the ccuntr J Judge Jere Black writp to the Phil adelphia "rimes" as follows: ''Your expressed determination to see th it Geueral Garfield shall be defended against all unjust asperMons upon his personal character is equality pleasant reading to me, for I have been hi devoted friend for many years, and I am resolved that I never will believe that he does not deserve the aflVction I thave bestowed upon him. If he would carry the principles which regu late his private life into- hi public con duct, he would make the- best chief magistrate we have ever had." The Indianapolis "Joi'rnal" gives this bit of personal gossip respecting the Democratic candidate for Vice President: "Mr. English's Bleeping room at his residence i.u the Circle, when he was President of t'ie First National Bank, looked more like a prison than a.room in a private resi dence in th heart of a populous city. The doors and windows were barred with irrn, Mr. EngUsli locking him elf in when he retired' at night to pre vent bank robbers from coming to hix residence and carrying him off. He. was particularly fearful during the strike, of tho working men in 1877,. and al frays retired to his prison at an early hoar, caieklly ' lpcljjug himself In." W SCAKI.G TIKE YAKB9. The Republican jiarty is not 3ike the Democratic larty the to are as dis tinct in character as it is possible -?or two individuals to be. When Han cock was nominated every Democrat,! aid it was just whax Yie wanted, though nine out of -every ten felt ex actly the other "way. When General Garfield was "nominated seven tenths of the Republican party had lost their first choice, and while they said there "was no ground for objection they did not say it was just what tbey desired. But strong as they recognized duty they discussed the situation as think ing men. The result has been most re markable. We annot remember a nomination made after the manner of that at "Chi cago that has grown upon public confi dence no rapidly and so solidly as tha of Gen. Garfield, and there can be no qaetttion of, what is to come it will be enthusiastic long before November. And it all comes from the character of the nominee himself. The mow his re markable career becomes known the more his services in public life are can- acquainted with his abilities and his solid acquirements, the more they real iz' that they have tor a candidate one of the ablest men that the country has seen in that office. People have always complained that fi st clais statesmanship has never been able, when tried and known to reach the Presidency, and the example of Clay, Webster, Benton and others an pointed to as evidence. In the case of Gai field there can Im no objection of this kiud made. He has had eighteen years of experience, not alone in pub lic life, but as a leader in tile foremost podtiom, and with queHtious demand ing piactical ability far above what was required by the gravest questions of thirty ears ago. Not only has he shown aptitude of affairs, but his influ ence and abilities have been controlling and his jMiwera original diiecting rather than following. In short they find him a leader on the highest plane of national JFuirs. It is this fact that is growing so rap idly on the country, and that has been intensified by his admirable and able letter of acceptance. There is no long er any hesitancy, but this has given way to eagerness, ami the jiarty is coming into fighting trim with a rap idity that tells of a victorious cam paign. Cairjiug out the simile with which we began, the (Jiiu is wearingin to positions, the yards are squared, Is are squared, -, ,--? ' ' J . :l in a victory, , , , ' -... 1 iV.nl ,-...m-.U-m.fi"Tu-T the battle that wi.l tin the results of which will be memorable in their result. With Garfield's ubility, solid character, devotion to the ideals of hi jwrty, and his wise conversation at the head of the government, th-re is sure promise of a brignt and pro pcis future. Kansas City "Journal." FLOri'ttG AM ELOMI.NO. Judging frnm the vigorous blowing and the brilliant headlines in the Rose burg "Star," Hancock is as good as al ready elected. A prodigous amount of noise is made over the accession to the Driiincratic ranks of Potter Palmer of Chicago and others, whoe names it parades' in itP columns from week to week. Wo would advise our friend to keep an eye on Potter, as well as on a number of others that he mentions, as the flopping-over business is, by no means a new thing with these gentle niPii. Tlie-oirly danger that can possi My a'-tue to the Republican party from the action of these 'promineiits" is that they may take a notion to flop bark before the campaign is fairiv under way. Such headlines as "The Ger man's rising en-tuasse in support of the soldier statesman," "The tidal wave sweeping from ocean to ocean," "i'he Giantiies falling into line," remind one of an empty wagon rushing through tUn streets. Plenty of noise but no goods. Editor fetding the imagina tion on such barren assertions as the one about the Germans, w ill lie apt to see "stars" before a great while. Un scrupulous! campaigning don't pay. It is well to refer sometimes to facts like these: Since the close of the war, the RepuMicanparty, through its ad ministration, has paid off J837,10t,83 of the national debt. Ami during the same time it has funded the remaining debt at lower rates of interest. Until this year the interest paid is ?70,00t,- 000 less than by the face of the bonds when issued. These arv facts that are facts, and big ones at that,-that nobody can get over or round. -A Democratic editor of the sanguine order,, down in California, furnishes an artiele on- the political outlook of the country. Besides the Solid South he claims for Hancock the States of Wis consin. Maine, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Oregon and California, but winds up by saying: "It is too soon to confident.y iredict who will be- Presi WAGON rtOAB HKLTI.X;. The wagon road meeting at the Court House last Saturday afternoon, called to hear the rejiort -of the com mittee appointed to meet at Waldo similar committees from Del Norte and Josephine -counties, was largely at- f tended by citizens from various parts of Jackson county. C. C. Beekman was called to the chair and . D. Fou dray Beted as secretary. A full report of the action of the meeting at Waldo was presented by Jerry Nnuan. The plan adopted by the Waldo meeting for the construction of the proK)sed road was fully discuss ed and endorsed by this meeting, and a motion was made to ask the county authorities to raise Jackson county j proKrtion (?5,000) by taxation, pro vided that this can be done lawfully.. It was resolved that the best legal ad vice be obtained to ascertain whether tho county can levy a tax for this pur iose; and it was further resolved that if the money cannot be raised in this manner, that it be raised by subscrip tion.

Merchants should lenietnl-er that goods delivered at Rosebu'g from San Francisco now costs them 25 a ton. The same amount of goods delix- ei ed at Crescent C'itv from Sad Fran cisco will then cost them but $3.50 per toiw The advantngptt to Jackson coun ty of the Crescent City wagon road are so palpable that all further argument is unnecessary.
