We shall print the platform in full next week. The enthusiasm over the renomiua- tioii of Cleveland seems to be greater in Euglatiil than in the United States. 1'lie/*«//J/«// Gazette is so much en amored of the Buffalo prodigy it names him for a third t< rm.

(Chronicle. ♦ The United State« government has advertised for 5,1 MIO American white marble headstones. Congress on M arch 30th made an appropriation of 820,000 to pay for them. The head stones will lie used for the unmarked graves of Union soldiers, sailors and marines m various pasts of i ry. In 1*81 there were .51.975 Voles fast for c.lUgressmau at the June election, these Hermann got 26,91s votes • >59 h-ss than half t lit« total number of votes cast. His plurality was 1.1715. but he had no majority. Uu' this time his-niajonty is more than twice as much as bis plurality was last election. l’be prospective course ol journal* istn at Cornell University promises to surpass the greatest expectations, if present indications go for anything. Not ouly has the press of the country in general indorsed the proposed plan, but also young aspirants for newspap er fame. Already President Adams is receiving a large number of inquiries regarding th«» course from all over the United States, so that he has been compelled to issue a circular letter in reply. The course is open only to junior and senior and graduate stu dents, and, like all other courses, to such special students as may lx> rec- ommended by the facnlty. ♦ ♦ * Now, to s|>eak HTiously. did it pay the democratic party of Oregon to welcome the emissaries of the adminis tration who came to the state to iu- duee them to reverse the position on the tariff set forth ill theii platform of two years ago? lhd it pay them to "go back on themselves" as they did, out of partisan loyalty to the adminis tration, and with total disregard of the interests of the state? There haslieen a great cry in Oregon, but there will lie u<> free wool. Not another mention will there ever be in Oregon of "the admirable message of President Cleve land on the tariff question.” or of "that splendid measure of reform, the Mills tariff bill." These things will go into the democratic garret, along with the old rubbish of rejected platform ma terial that has been lavumulating there during the past thirty years.— ¡Oregonian. I DEMOCRATIC TICKET. The St. Louis convention has con cluded its arduous labor of plai ing in the field the ticket which had been prepared for it long in advance. A great show of enthusiasm was made over Cleveland’s re-nomination, but the enthusiasm, like the ticket, was prepared and arranged long in advance of tho convention. It was manufac ture'll to order and laid away ready to lie touched off. like an alarm clock, when the hour for which it was set should arrive. One blast which was charged for a heavier rejiort than any other was not tired the salute that was to greet the telegram announcing that Oregou had endorsed Cleveland's administration and his free trade mes» sage. The informal sfiecial committee having this little matter in hand was compelled to sorrowfully and quietly “draw" that load of enthusiasm, and the convention filled up the gap of <lisap|a>intinent with great chunks of the most fulsome and rauk adulation of the most commonplace man who has ever filled the presidential chair. In his letter accepting the nomina tion four years ago. Cleveland made the country to understand that he would not consent to serve more than one term, believing that in the temp tation to intrigue for a second term of presidency lay a grave and threatening menace to our free institutions, but from his very inauguration he began working for a second term, and after finally using the whole patronage of the government to that end, succeeded many months ago iu having the nomi nation assured to himself. The idea of anything like spontaneous and genuine enthusiasm in a convention called to simply endorse the nomination practi cally made by general sufferance long before is too preposterous to be enter tained seriously by the readers of the noise and fuss in the convention last week. The only possible element or association of Cleveland to enthuse over is the fact that he waselected four years ago — by the merest scratch thonghit was and that he has com pletely surrendered his professed pre- judices against delivering the spoils to the victors. Democrats can find noth ing more attractive or inspiring in the man or in lus career. This may lae enough to cause office holders and ex pectant workers to shout and “takeon” but it is very poor stuff upon which to rouse enthusiasm among the great vot ing majority of the country. It was n .-it her patriotic conviction nor party fealty made him finally answer the de mands of Democrats for the offices. It was selfishness, pure and simple, and of the narrowest pattern. Had he been honest iu professing to want only one t «rm, his mugwump friends might have ¡•■.■en held till now, for he would not have ir.s le such a slaughter of Re public n offi « -holder« merely for the g x> l of th.« Democratic party. But when Cleveland's re-nomination de manded victims, the official guillotine was operated to its ftillt«st capacity. Thnrmau was snubbed by Cleveland four years ago as only a small-minded and selfish man can snubb a great man. but now that the necessity of the Cleveland case demands it the Presi dent discovers that Thurman is one of the prominent men of the Democratic party, ami decides to have him nomi nated for Vice President. Thurman h is had a great following among the Dvin.KT.its, and his sterling honesty- lias earmwl the res,» cl of the Country, but all his streugth will not avail to pull the heavy load on the front end of the ticket through the slough of free trade blunders and false pretenses into which it has sunk. HE IS TOO Ol.D." A special dispatch of June 9th from Washington says: Yesterday Mayor Hewitt was asked very bluntly by a promili. nt I h-mo.-r.it in New Y'ork if he would support the Democratic Na tional tiek.-t. Jis says that be knew Mr. Cleveland was going to lie re nominated. and six months ago he knew that Allen G. Thurman would be Mr. Cleveland's running mate. “1 will not say,” he continued, "whether 1 will support the ticket or not, but it does seem a little strange that Mr. Cleveland should select Mr. Thurman at ibis time as the Vice- Presidential candidate, in face of the fact that he refused to honor Mr. Thurman with any position of trust after his election to the Presidency. Some weeks after the election of K84 I was summoned to Albany by Mr. Cleveland, lie told me he was think ing over various names which bad beeu presented to him for Cabinet places and be asked me if I had anv name to suggest." “I said," continued Hewitt. "‘Mr. President, the man whom you should place at the head of your Cabinet is Allen G. Thurman.' Cleveland's re ply was. ‘He is too old:' I said, ‘No, he is not too old. Thurman is good for twenty years, and besides bis men tal faculties are unimpaired.' Cleve land then said. ‘But bis habits are bad.’ My response to this extraordinary state- m<«ut was. ‘Mr. President, if you think that, why don't you send somebody to Columbus to find out what Mr. Thur man s personal habits are?' and to my surprise, he replied: ‘I’ll do so;" and | ho actually sent a detective to find out if Allen G. Thurman ever took a drink of whisky or not. Things have changed since lss-1." Being pressed, however, as to whether he would sup- ' port Mr. Cleveland. Mayor Hewitt de- ! dined positively to define his position, | ***• ELE< TIOX FIGURES. k new law just passed by Congress and signevi by the President provides that pensions heretofore or hereafter granted to widows of soldiers of the war of the Rebellion .-•hall commence atthedateof tht> death of their hus bands.

" j i i LEVELAXDS RECORD. oregniiixii.J Mr. Daniel Dougherty, of New Y'ork City, in his speech nominating Cleveland, said: “The promisee of his letter of acceptance and inaugural ad dress have been fulfilled. His fidelity in the past inspires faith in the future. He is not a hope, he is a realization.” This statement is an eloquent lie, uttered by a man who was the late Jacob Sharp's jury lawy er, and who is so destitute of moral sense that iu liis subsequent address liefore the bar as sociation he denounced ^'ue press of New Y'ork City for doing its simple duty by the people iu expressing the corrupt conspiracy of his client to steal a great public franchise, and thus forcing the machinery of the courts umler the lash of public opinion, to seize and bring to justice a great scoundrel. The “silver-voiced” Dough- erty described Sharp as an aged hero and decrepit martyr, whose gray hairs had been brought down in sorrow to the grave, amid the “gboblish glee" of the merciless and ty rannical press of New Y'ork. Of course an orator who could whitewash Jake Sharp would not hesitate to utter un eloquent lie in favor of Cleveland, but it is worth while to turn to Cleveland's letter of acceptance and the inaugural address, and note the enormity of the falsehood. We quote: The selection and retention of sub ordinates in government employment should depend upon their ascertained fitness and the value of their work, and they should be neither expected nor allowed to do questionable party service. The public departments will not be filled with those who conceive it to be their duty to aid the party to which they owe their places, instead of rendering patient mid honest re turn to the people.—Letter <>/ .-leecpt- irace, August is, l"t. If I were addressing none but party fnends I would deem it entirely prop er to remind them that, though the coming administration is to be demo cratic. due regard for the people’s in terest does not permit faithful party work to be always rewarded by ap pointment to office,and to say to them that, while democrats may expect all proper consideration, selections for office not embraced wiihin the civil service rules will I k « bases I upon suf ficient inquiry as to fitness, instituted by those charged with that duty, rath er thau upon persistent iinjiortuuity or self-solicited recommendations on lie- lialf of candidates for appointment — Letter nf December 25. /-"«i. to the E.reeutire Committee of the Xational Civil Service Reform League. The people demand reform in the administration of the government and the application of business principles to public affairs. As a means to this end. civil service reform should lie iu good faith enforced. Our citizens have the right to protection from the incompetency of public employees, who hold their places solely as the re ward of partisan service, and from the corrupting influence of those who promis««, ami the vicious methods of those who expect, such rewanls. And those who worthily seek public em ployment have the right to insist that merit and competency shall be recog nized instead of party subserviency or the surrender of honest political ' be lief. Inaugural Address. I deem this a proper time to espec ially warn all subordinates in the sev eral departments, ami all office holders umler the geueral government, against the use of their official positions in at tempts to control political movements in their localities. The influence of federal officeholders should not b«> felt iu th«« manipulation of political primary meetingsand nom inating conventions. The use by these officials of their positious to compass their selection as delegates to political conventions is indecent and unfair, and proper regard for the proprieties and requirements of official place will also prevent their assuming the active con duct of political campaigns. Letter of July II. ISSU. Every pledge has beeu notoriously violated. Even the New Y’ork World, a paper that supports Cleveland for re-electiou, not leu days ago said: Civil service reform is lieing openly and deeply discredited in this state and elsewhere. The revelations in the sen atorial investigation in this city of re movals without cause, retentions through “influence," appointments by collusion aud a pernicious activity in politics by employes of the custom house a platoon of t hem having goue upto Binghampton to run the county convention are calculated to injure both the reform cause aud the demo cratic party. This violation of all his pledgesis no surprise to the democracy, who never expected Cleveland to keep them. But his failure to keep them did not restrain the democrats of New York from re solving that Cleveland had “lioth puri fied and elevated the public service. The Triumph of Beef Over Brains. All S. P.

[Linkville Star, June #.] • Klamath county has 172 townships, 6192 sections, 3,962,880 acres of land, ami offers better inducements to set tlers looking for homes, thau any other county in the state. Sell McCord, who has b»«en acting as night clerk at the Linkville hotel for some time past, has taken to stage driving again, an occupation which suits him better. Sell is an expert reiustnan and fills tho bill to perfection. Rumor has it that a joint stock com pany will lie orgauiztsl in the near future in the town of Linkville for the purpose of surveying a route for a rail road up Klamath river, commencing at or near Ager on the Southern Pacific R. R., to be known as Oregou Central. The survey will extend, via Linkville, to the Columbia river above The Dalle«, connecting there with steam boats. This contemplate«! road will undoubtedly be one of the most im portant roails on the coast, as it will open for settlement vast fertile sections of land, interspersed with large forests of as fine timber as ever grew on God's green foot stool.

Thurman was considered “too old" by the newly chosen Executive to lx« made a member of the Cabinet, it will excite more than usual interest to know why he is now desired by the same authority to stand as a candidate for vice-president. After full consid eration has l>een given to the question the conclusion will be, ami it is un favorable, that this venerable and once- rejecte«! veteran is wanted to revive and reanimate the drooping, disgusted, repulsed and vengeful spirit of the Democracy in the great state with thirty-six electoral votes. It is New York that Thurman is to be brought in to carry, and it is the back once pronounced decrepit which must now I tow it-self to support the weight of Grover Cleveland. In the old tri umphs the conquerors used .to lead their captives in chains. But even in those da»s they never undertook to riile upou their backs. Orepii & Califcnia B. B. ; REAL ESTATE COLUMNS.
