The Approaching Campaign.
In discussing this subject, the Oregonian
of last Monday says :
The men to succeed, if any can, are
those who will be not only personally and
seclionally strong, but acceptable to the
party in all parts of the State, With such
men, on our State, Legislative and Weal
tickets we can carry the State.
But to carry the State with even such a
ticket, will require vigilantork, harmo
q q nious effort, mutual concessions where con
flicting interests meet, and a vigorous pull
all together from now till election day.
The Demoracy are already at work, set
ting jip their men, securing every possible
floating influence, pensioning strikers, col
onizing where they can in doubtful coun
ties, and in general preparing their camp
for an early and active campaign. If Re
publicans desire to win, they must imme
diately begin the effort.
This is an unexpected frank admission
of tha weakness of the Republican party
in this Stdte. It is, also, a very plain inti
mation to its party Iriends of the policy
they are expected to pursue in the coming
campaign. Whenever the leaders of the
Republican party contemplate perpetrat
ing a fraud upon the public, such leaders,
ami the press of that party, commence the
operation by charging the Democratic
party with tho identical wrong they in
tend to practice themselves.
And when that paper says the rJemo
crats are " securing every possible float
ing influence - pensioning strikers, and
colonizing where they can in doubtful
counties," and then says, " If Republicans
desire to win, they must immediately be
gin the effort," it Is simply intimating to
its party friends the only means by which
they "ca?" carry the coming election. 4iIf
they wish to win, they must immediately
" begin the effort." What effort? The
'ffort to secure every possible floating in-
4uctice, to pension strikers, and to ctdon-
o 5ze where they can, in doubtful counties,
is the effort meant ; and we believe that
this dishonest effort will be made, in the
approaching contest, by the Republican
party. Leading members of that party
cotasider it a matter of vital importance to
themselves, and party, to elect a Repub
lican to the United States Senate upon the
expiration or fcenator Yvilliaius7 term.
That Hon. gentleman not only sympa
thizes with his r arty friends in this respect,
but goes further, and considers it a matter
of still greater importance that he should
be re-elected himself. And believing that
he will be the lucky man. if he can only
succeed in carrying thi3 State for his
party, he will not "omit any effort which
will aid him, in the least, in effecting such
a result. Republicans will be colonized
and put to work on the custom fiouse and
post office building in Portland, and on
the mint at the Dalles, and they will col
onize in other places wherever coloniza
tion is needed by that party.and it can be
done. Republican officers, from Presi
dent Grant down, appear to consider
electioneering and political maneuvering
part of their official duty, and have been,
and are yet, attending to that part of their
duty with much more zeal than they mani
fest in the discharge of what is properly
their duty as such officers.
All such campaigns require money, and
taking into the account the lavish expendi
ture of money, and the frauds openly and
shamelessly perpetrated by the party in
power, it wJl be neither unreasonable nor
unfair to assume that in the coming con
test, involv ing the election of a United
States Senator, the public funds, extorted
from the laboring and producing classes
for the ostensible purpose of paying the
bondholders' demands, will be lavishly
expended to secure a Radical victory in
Oregon. But an honest and harmonious
effort on the part of the Democracy will
crown the Democratic party in Oregon
with a giorious victory next June.
Republican Financiering.
CThe Oregonian says : O
The Republican management of the af
fairs of Michigan, has resulted in reducing
thtrate of taxation, paying off half a mil
lioivof debt and providing for,the payment
of half a million more within a month.
n w
Why don't that party reduce the Na
tional debt? It is true that each month
the Secretary of the Treasury counts the
money in the treasury and announces that
the amount found on hand is so much of a
reduction of the National debt.
But unfortunately for Radical politi
cians, the figures show that the National
debt is actuallyincreasing, instead of de
creasing. As an example : AYhen the
count of the monev in the Tre.isnrv b'ep-nn
7 Cjjbr October, ve were informed that the
debt was $2L 634.609,833 09, and that the
money in the Treasury reduced it to S?2
468,495,072 01, a reduction of $166,114,-
i 84 08.
But when the money in the Treasury
was again counted, in November, pre
paratory to making the announcement of
a further reduction of the debt,
we were told that the debt
araonnted to $2,648,23.1,682 29, tng$13.
627,826 20 more than it was in October
previous to the reduction then announced.
It requires a peculiar system of leger
demain Gnanciering to make the debt an-
pear reduced, when in fact it is increased.
But such is the National Republican
system, and we have no doubt the same
system prevails with the KepiiblieansQf
Michigan. o
The Superiority of" t lie Inferior Races
The Oregonian says : O
The best speech made at the Seward
banquet in Mexico is said to have been
delivered by ' the Indian scholar, radical
republican, brave soldier and anti-church
statesman, Ignacio M. Altamiramo of
Guerrero. lie i3 a full blooded Indian,
and has nothing in his personal appear
ance to indicate his extraordinary talents.
The champions of the mongrel party do
labor mostzealously to show that the in
ferior races are rapidly develop ieg a large
amount of most extraordinary talent. It
is a prominent part of their policy to do
this, inasmuch as the only hope of success
for the Republican party depends upon
getting the people to believe that the in
ferior and loathsome beings which that
party has enfranchised, are making extra
ordinary displays of intelligence, wisdom
and goodness.
A person who reads the Radical papers
regularly) will find, every mouth or twoQ
the announcement made that, away off
somewhere, some negro, Indian, or China
man, has made a display of talent that
perfectly eclipsed the-ialcnt of the whites
present. It is reasonable to infer that
these statements hayc no foundation in
fact, but are the handiwork of the invent
ive genius of Radical politicians, gotten
up for the purpose aforesaid. And yet
the story about the Indian's surpassing
speech at Mr. Seward's banquet may be
true. It is not at all surprising that, of
the mixed company which appears to have
been present on that occasion, the wisdom
of the white portion of it should have been
eclipsed by an Indian. ItQnight have
been so. and yet the Indian ,r7ot be a very
extraordinary being after alfr

I have tried Dr. J. W. Murray's
Lung and Liver Balsam. I used it in my fam
ily with the best of success. I was sick for
some months, and used every remedy. I
called several physicians, but thev did me no
good. I exhausted every remedy known to
ana received no ben-
ara cured me,
andU do not hoitate to recommend it to the
public and my friends, as a good and safe
remedy. Those who know me, as many do
in this Stat;, know that I would not reeom
rucnil them to use a thing that lias no merit,
Lccause I am opposed to quack remedies.
