City. Our Politics. By referring to the fourth column on the nrst page of this paper 3Tou Tvill find the proceedings of the Newspaper Convention held at Un ion on the 28th of Sej)tember. We heartily endorse the -whole j'oceed ings and are only sorry that steps of the same kind were not taken years ago. While we firmly believe partisan principals are necessary for the weliuiv of our government we do not think that candidates should en gull" as it were the idea that be cause they are the nominee of their 2arty, be they a scoundrel or an hon est man, that the paper must or is bound to advocate their election for nothing simply because the editor is a Democrat or Republican and the paper the same. Candidates have in the past considered that a nomina tion was equivelant to an election, we speak of counties where one or the other party was in power and such party was represented by a pa per that advocated the election of all the men on the ticket simply because they were luck' enough to receive the nomination; and after they had used their undivided influence and elected some unworthv man to office the paper is censured by honest citi zens, and perhaps looses much sup port in consequence thereof, the offi cer will exclaim Egad ! and laugh to think how lit tic it. cost them to be "puffed' ' by their party paper. We know of such things being done in years gone by. But thank God for the bold strike for freedom from par ty fetters that the resolutions passed by the Union grants to party papers. The people can now depend that a candidate must be a man whose past public life will bear the closest in spection. As you all know we are running a non-partisan paxer it is needless for us say much on our fu ture action on politics. But know now and remember that the politics of the News is to encourago honest people to settle in Grant County, and no candidate need exjject, next spring, that we will advocate the election of them on any terms except the way spoken of in our first issue. So firm do we intend to stand to the rules therein stated that if we were an aspirant for office and should be nominated for coroner or even Sen ator not one syllable, otherwise than non-partisan, should appear in the News in consequence thereat. In conclusion we reiterate that any candidate who may come up for offi ce next election, be he Republican or Democrat, can have space in this Journal to advocate their election, by paying for the space occupied. All the rules adopted by the last convention will be strictly adherred to bv the News, and we earnestly re quest all of our patrons to carefully iv.i-1 vi pfjcuedings and if they owe i ...pur a -iy tiling of long standing pay it, for it would wound our pride and hurt our feelings to have to pub lish the name of any resident of this county, in a black list.

Last Saturday we stejped into the City Hotel and, at the solicitation of the accomplished landlords, Rulison & Groth, inspected the house from kitchen to parlor and were complete ly and agreeably surprised to see what an immense change the house had experienced since we last went though it. It has been repapered and remoddled from'cellar to dininpf room. Quite a number of fine, large sleeping rooms have been added, which arc furnished with all of the modern commodities necessary for nnv lady or gentleman to make their complete toilet; and the beds are all now and are clothed with snowy white sheets, blankets and pillows thus assuring the guests that their sleep will be quiet and peaceful. The parlor has undergone a com plete change and is a cosy place to speud an evening. In the house are several large family rooms supplied with all the necessaries for the use of the family. In the dining-room we found everything in first-class or der; from the fact, we suppose, that the prorietors for the greater part of their lives have been bachelors, and who ever know a bachelor but who had everything in the finest order and always looking for something better to eat? This accounts for the abundance of good things that are daily placed on the tables of the City Hotel. In the kitchen Ave found the expert cooks doing their duty and were informed by the gentlmen ly proprietors that they placed at their disposal everything that would enable them to get uj) a meal in the highest style of the art. This house has always been the hotel of the city an' now that they have added so largely to the accommodations it will be recognized by the commercial travelers and general public as the best hotel in Eastern Oregon. All of the stages that run into Canyon City stop at the above house. It is useless for us to say much more about the hotel as it is well understood that the men who guide its destiny are solid and will at no time allow their house to descend one step in the estimation of the people. The lady guests will find Mrs. Rulison an entertaining landlady and a per son that will make the lady traveler feel at home. The charges are the same as cheap hotels. Hoodlums are held in check and other relative doubtful characters are ejected from the house. Notice. All persons owing the undersigned are hereby notified to call and settle their accounts im mediately, and all those having ac counts against the same will please present them for payment.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin relates that a German gentleman who kept a seven by uine lager beer shop nt the South End treated himself f a day'." vacation recently, lia-. iiu h:M)jiu eh.ujio of uti-r pissisiess" and a krj of beer. On his return he found the keg empty and addressed his oif-pring as follows: "How is dis Yawcnb, dat you make me only und dollar and dirty o-nLs for dose keg of peer? Show me how you draws der peer." Yawcob took the gloss and drew it nearly full of beer, with but the least margin of froth, when the old gentleman, seizing his hand said: "You make dose glasses stand higher down from der keg.
