Tlie Stale Convention.
The Democratic State Convention met
at Albany la!? Wednesday morning, and
the results of its deliberation will be found
at the head of our paper. Ihere has not.
- and never can be, a convention held at
which all can secure Iheir first choice ; but
in the selections made by the Convention
there is but one opinion, and that is, that
it is a splendid ticket and will be most
triumphantly elected next June. The cc
tioa of the Convention .was harmonious
throughout. It was the largest represen
tative body of the people that has ever
met together in Oregon, and the platform
was adopted tfdanimously, expressing the
sentimentsf the Democracy of our en
tire State. There was a unanimity in the
selection of our standard bearers which
endorses them as the choice of the people
of our State, and it now behooves every
man that is a lover of true principles, his
country and posterity, and opposed to
a Chinese, negro imperialism in our once
whiteman's government, to work from this
puntU the evening of the first Monday in
June to have the action of the delegates
. endorsed and the entire ticket elected by
a majority that will strike terror to the
enemies of our country. Let every Dem
ocrat do his duty, and Oregon will roll up
a majority of not less than two thousand
for our nominees next June. We
liave not the time to mention each candi
date separately and speak of Lis qualifi
cations. Their names are at the head of
. our columtfi and each one of them is well
qnalified to do honor to the position as
- pigneiP him. The official proceedings of
tbe Convention will be published ia our
ne t issue.
Ratification'. The Democracy of Salem
were enmass at the wharf in their city on
the arrival of the delegates from the State
Convention, and the sounds of music and
cheers of the crowd, with the roaring of
cannon, Indicated that the action of the
eonrention met their hearty approval. In
the evening a very enthusiastic ratification
pteting was held at tbe court boue, from
which hundreds were forced to go away,
beiqg Dabla to find room.

Deferred. We deferred going to press
.aat'l we were enabled to lay the Demo
cratic Platform and Ticket before our
readers, which we hcjpe will fujly com
pensate !or the delay.
Those Affidavit.
For the purpose of covering up the
rapcalliry of its own par-v ih Ortgonian
of last Monday publishes two o.ffiavit.:;
purporting to have been made by Geo.
Wilson and Michael Ccnley before Jas
A. Smith, a Justice of the Peace, and
very loyal to the party from whom he
gets bis bread and butter. These affi
davits are quite interesting, viewrd in the
light of the handiwork of six and eight
politicians.
The affidavit of George Wilson is to
the etrect, that on the 4th day of March,
one Frank Burns brought some men from
Portland to "Oregon City, and paid their
fare on the boat and then paid their board
at the hotels in this place for a few'days.
That on the following Sunday morning,
about half of these men went up on the
bluff with Burns vheie they met Walter
S. Moss. That these men and young
Mots Lad a talk. Below we give an ex
tract from said affidavit as a statement of
what took place in that parley, according
to the notions of the writer of the affi
davit. After we had assembled one Walter
Moss, of Oregon City, said: "Boys, I
suppose 3'ou all know what we are here
for. I guess all the boys know what they
are here for. I want you either t3 go to
work on aCirm at forty dollars per mouth
or to chop wood at one dollar andr fifty
cuts per cord, and to remain in this coun
ty until the fith day of June. If you go
on a farm the farmer will " pay you $20.
per month and I will pay you the other
$20, and if the farmer fails to pay you I
will be responsible for the amount, and
you will receive your pay on the day you
Vjte. Of course yon are all Democra s
but you must pretend to be Black Repub
licans, and if any one questions you, you
must tell them that you belong to the
Black Rebuplicau party. It will not do
tor you to idle about the town, for you
might be taken up on suspicion." The
said Walter S. Moss then produced $-10 in
cnin and gave it to Frank Burns saying
"This is for to-night; is it correct?"
Burns said, "Yes. but you did not pay me
for the first night. Moss replied,, " That is
so, I forgot it ; I will to night." We then
began to disperse and Moss said, " You
may stay around for a day or so and we
will then find work lor you." We thei
came down town and remained until Mon
day at noon, when I came to dinner I was
told it was not paid for and I could not
have it. I then went to Burns and asked
him what was the matter. He said. The
boys are all getting drunk, and it won't
do ; but I'll see you through to-night, and
you then can go down on the railroad to
Dodge, on secUon2, and he will give you
work ; tell him I sent you and it will be
all right." I did not go down on the rail
road. My board dttrinsr my stav was paid
! by Burns ; and I now say on my oath
that the foregoing statement is true ; so
help me God.
This affidavit bears on its face the evi
dence that it is a falsehood which the writer
of it evidently perceived, for it is immedi
ately followed by the affidavit of Michael
Conly, as a backer to the imaginary George
Wilsons statement.
This Conly affidavit being short we give
it verbatim. It is as follows:
Oregon City Precinct. Chckamas Co,
Oregon. I. Michael Conly, being hrtt du
ly sworn, say that I am a resident of
Oregoa City. Oregon ; was residing in
that city on Friday, March 4th, 1870 : on
the afternoon of the said -Jth day of March
I was in the Cliff House and saw a num
ber of men enter said ClifFHou.se and reg
ister their names, I was acquainted with
several of these men. I asked some of
them what they were a going to do. They
replied they co.dd not tell, but that their
board was secured for them anyhow, and
that they were to be told that night what
was wanted with tbsm. On the morning
of the 5th of March, a person named
came into the hotel and asked
Burns. -How many have you got?" Burns
replied, " 10 besides myself, here." Then
the other took down the names and said he
would go over to the Phoenix and get the
other names. On Sunday morning. March
Cth, I went to Burns, who seemed to have
charge of the men who came up on Fri
day, and asked him what was going on.
He said your pay is all right and your
board is all right, and if anybody says
anything to you. you must be as black as
you can." I then asked him whit', he
meant, and he said, "you must pretend to
be a Black Republican." On Sunday af
ternoon George Wilson, one of the men
who came up on Friday with Burns, came
to me and told me that Burns wan'ed me
to come up on the Bluff to attend a meet
ing of the men. I did not go to the meet
ing. his
MICHAEL X CONLY.
mark.
Subscribed and sworn to before me. this
10th day of March, A. D. 1870.
Jas. A. Smith, J. P.
The first thing noticeable in this Conley
affidavit is the fact that he first swears
that he was a resident of Oregon City on
the 4th of March, and, then, in a subse
quent part of the affidavit swears as
though he was one of the men that Burns
had brought up here. . Such contradictory
statements under oath tell rather heavily
against the swearer, taking it for granted
that there was such a person who actually
did appear before this man Smith and
swear to such a statement. The fact is
these affidavits bear the impress of false
hood and political trickery all the way
through. But, if the statements in said
affidavits were facts, actually subscribed
and sworn to by a real George Wilson
and n real Michael Conley, what then?
Burns and his men, as these affidavits call
them, were not imports, but men who had
been employed on this road and in this
county for more than a year previous to
that time, but being suspected of being
Democrats, had been forced from the
road, about the first of March, by a re
duction of wages lor the purpose of mak
ing room for Frank Cooper's Republican
importations from Washington and Mari
on counties. This Burns is n9t a politi
cian, but one of the men thrown out of
employment by this political maneuver
ing. These men were entitled to vote in
this county,, bat if they left here and
sought work elsewhere, they might loose
their votes, should seek satisfaction by
endeavoring to remain and vote here
after discoveiing this rascally scheme
unt is strange mat lbey should meet !
with sympathy in ssch praiseworthy j
effort? Young Moss is the. young man
who sounded Frank Cooper, and founi
out all of the "Williams & Ilolladay colo
nization scheme, hence the writer of these
affidavits labor to implicate him in a col
onization scheme and thereby injure him.
But after all. if those affidavits wrere true,
they would not fix importation and colo
nization on Burns, Moss, or the Democra
tic party. All that they could show,
won'd be . thst Burns and Moss had en
deavored to prevent some Democrats be
ing driven from the county by Republican
trickery. On the other hand, Republicans,
do not, dare not deny that they are im
porting men into this county for the pur
pose of dhrrying it for the Republican
party. In fact, they admit that they are
doing so. and then call attention to Burn
and these men as an excuse for such
fraudulent practices, when Burns and
these men were driven from the road to
make room for the Repub'ican importa
tions. The facts showing Republican
importations are so prominent that an' at
tempted" denial of them would be worse
than useless, hence, the Orejoman PC
sorts to the usual Republican dodge of
preferring false chargeo against Demo
crats in order to divert attention from the
doings of that party. But the Oreccmian
will learn that this dodge has been played
so often and so long that it is played out.
and will not avail in accomplishing the
divertion of attention from the fraudulent
acts of the Republican party.
Ken. Ilolladay.
'rortune is a fickle! jade.' and no more
curious illustration of the .truth of the ex
pression is found than in the experience
of Ben. Ilolladay. the marriage of whose
daughter to a French Count, we chronicle
in another column. Ben. Ilolladay is an
old Plat e Countian.aud we therefore take
a lively interest in him and are proud o:
his financial success in the world- Many
of our old citizens remember well whet:
Ben, at that time, .as poverty stricken t
wretch as any of us. established himself
in business on Bee creek in this county as
the keeper of a one-horse bar-room. His
" shebang" was a frail shanty where,
from a .counter constructed of a plank
laid on the ends of two barrels, he used
to dispense the liquid lightning to his
thirsty customers at five cents a drink.
Ben has prospered in the world since those
lays until now he is classed as one of the
wealthiest men in the United States
There are yet living in this county friends
of his who helped him to elope with his
present wife, the daughter of our fellow
citizen Mr. Smith Calvert. Ben quit the
whiskey business and got to freighting
across the plains. From stage driving to
the proprietorship of Ilolladay s Overland
Stage Company, was a rapid advancement.
Then came lines of steam sh'ps f.-oni Ne-
York to Aspinwall. and thence to San
Franciso crowding along in fortunate suc
cession. Then various huge speculations,
always successful, until finally we read of
" Ilolladay 's Valley Railroad" through
Oregon, and still later, see him allied, in
the marriage of his daghter. the nobility
itself. Now, for the purpose of rubbing
off upon our humble shoulders some of
the glory of Ben's illustrious self, we would
remark that one of the late compositors
in our office is a brother-in-law of Ben.
Such are some of the ''rilgaffPs of 'dame
Fortune, and if she keeps on pttling Ben,
we would not be surprised to some day
hear of his being Emperor of the French ;
then because his brother-in-law was once
our printer (if he rewards like Grant.) we
hope to be Prime Minister. I'kdte City
llevei'Je.
This short biographical sketch of Ben.
Ilolladay is an apt illustration of the say
that " Great oaks from little acorns grow."
His pastjiistory, taken in connection with
his present, shows that he started as a rude
country retailer of "liquid lightning in
Missouri, but has risen to the dignity (?
of a colonizer by means of his "Oregon
Valley Railroad."
But, however much we may be opposed
to dealing out " liquid lightning" over a
rough board, or otherwise, we must say
that the liquor business is less reprehensi
ble, and much more honorable than Ben
Ilolladay "s present occupation of coloniz
ing Republican voters on the Oregon
Central Railroad. That he is doing so,
neither he nor his friends deny. In fact
it is so well known that Ilolladay is colo
nizing in this and Multnomah county' in
the interest of the Republican party that
the charge of colonization made against
him cannot be successfully controverted,
hence the silence of himself and friends
on this subject.
It has been reported that Mr. Ilolladay
is a Democrat, and perhaps, he is one by
instinct; but prompted by his inordinate
greed for money, to use the mildest terms
of which the nature of the case will admit,
he has turned his back upon the Democ
racy and correct principles, and is now
colonizing Republican voters on the Ore
gon Central Railroad for tbe purpose of
securing the re-election of George II. Wil
liams to the United States Senate. He is
not doing this because he is an advocate
of Republican principles, or an admirer of
that distinguished individual, but he is do
ing so in consideration that Senator Wil
liams is to procure from this government
additional land grants and other aids for
this railroad.
Believing that such payiswhat induces
Mr. Ilolladay to work for the in
terest of the Republican party in this can
vass, Tc must say that we do think that a
man who, for a few thousand acres of
land, or for a few pieGes of gold, will sell
Gut his party and jeopardise his country,
and at a time too, when that country is on
the very verge of bankruptcy." despotism
and rtiin, all induced by ' Republican
rule, is worse than a Judas Iscariot. and
merits the indignation and execration of
every honest man in the land.
Evtucsiastig The nominations by the
Democratic State Convention at Albany
and the platform, are received with tho
greatest enthusiasm in every portion of the
State. We learn from I'ortlana that the 5
ticket is received heartily and every one j
is pleased. Multnomah is good for 20 ) j
majority, '
Democratic Platform.
B'dow we g've.ihc pialforra adopted at
the Democratic F 'ate ; Con ven' ion held -Albany,
on the 23d and 24th insts. It
contains the true doctrine of the Demo
cratic party, and the principles" which it
enunciates will command the respect of
every honest man who desires the welfare
and future prosperity of this country. Let
all such give a libera! support to the
party of ihose principles it is the expo
neu'it, aad-iit m t yt'i be we'd. Tne Plat
form is as follows :
1. That we are unalterably attached
to the principles of our Republic as ex
pounded by its founders, and the para
mount object of their organization shall
ever be to uphold and maintain those
principles inviolate.
2. That we hold those political parti
sans, who. occupying positions of trus
claiming to be representatives of the peo
ple, have usurped the authority confided
to thei:, maliciously trampled under toot
our sacred bill of rights, made civil law
subordinate to military rule, perverted the
functions of Government, and endeavor
ed to concentrate its powers in the h-nds
of an oligarchy, wholly disregarded the
will and wishes of their constituents, and
insidioti.-ly endeavored to disparage, de
base and stigmatize the once proud title
ot American citizenship, as enemies to the
best interests of this commonwealth.
3. That the so-called reconstruction
measures attempted to be carried out by
the present tarty in power is a nefarious
scheme, revolutionary in design, treason
able in execution, one which if acquiesced
in as a rightful exercise of authority will
establish a most dangerous precedent and
imperil the safety and prosperity of out
form of governim nt. a-id that the present
Senators in the Congress of the United
States from this State in supporting those
measures have misrepresented the wishes
and outraged the sentiments of the peo
ple of Oregon.
1. That the systematic efforts made la
titat party to extend to the- African, the
Indian, and the Chinamen all the civil and
political riglt's and privileges enjoyed by
the white race, evinces a design on the
part of its leaders to destroy the high esti
mate placed upon that invaluable heritage
and it niK-r despotism less ohjeciiouabie
and more ea-y ot accomplishment.
5. That the ratification of the recently
proposed amendment to -the Constitutioa
of the United States extending the right
of sufiViige to the benighted negro and
Indian, and which opens the dour tor 'it
enjoyment to the heat heajsh Chinamen, is
irregular, arbitrary and unlawful, and
we most earnestly protest against the
pas-sage by the United States Congress oi
he pending act designed to enforce th.s
obnoxious and illegal provis'on.
G. That we urge and en ire it a repeal
of the recent treaty concluded between
the United States and China which guar
autees to the latter nation siu-h extensive
privileges arid immunities without cor res
pondiiig benetits to American citizens, and
oilers to its hord .vs ot'seuii barbai ian.-s sneii
favorable inducements to swarm in upon us
O ;eupyingour mineral and agricultural dis
tricts, create competition with our laboT
i;tg masses, establishing immoral pursuits,
di.sgits.i tg rites. ceremonies and pr ctices in
our towns.diseouniges and repels the immi
gration of our own race, decrease the white
popuaiiioii, reluiMs uniit, impeue.s the
advancement of education and eiifshten
nient,bs!rae:s fr. in our resourc sard e:i 1
away our valuable mineral wealth, ami ie
maratizes and apostatizes our eoatutuni y
and we resolve that a part who will sus
tain a policy so unwise, ruinous and ruth
less as that, which upholds such an inia
mmts bargain,' is unworthy the support oi
white men.
7. That in the management of municipal
tdfairs we urge a judicious application ot
the -principles of sound political economy :
a laudible encouragement to agricultural,
mineral, manufacturing and commercial
interests: a just ard equitable protection
to the labor and capitalist and the faithful
exercise of asysteni of rigid retrenchment;
that the government should be adminis
tered for the people and not against them
in protec.ing. their rights and interest and
not in fostering monopolies to prey upon
them and despoil them of their substance :
that asysteni of taxation which has for its
object the estabiisment of privileged
orders under the Government, either by
pretermg one class to another or by im
posing grievous burthens upon the tax
payers, while conferring favors, exemp
tions and immunities upon the holders of
Government securites deserves no oilier
name than legalized public plunder.
8. That the continual payment of the
semi-annual intere.-ton the bonded debt of
the United States without abatement, to
gether with other enormous expenses for
which the people ate taxed, make a bur
den too intolerable to be borne without
an effort to find some speedy means of re
lief; that the amount of the bonded debt
was increased more than two fold by the
venaL .illegal and unjnstifible terms of
its contraction, and there is neither jus
tice or wisdom in the repeated pavinent
of the principal by the continued pay
ment of the interest ; that it is no part of
good policy or good government to em
barrass the energies of labor and all bus
iness ent 'rprisrs by excessive and oppres
sive taxation for fhe exclusive benefit of
a combination of untaxed capital; that
to relieve the country and to restore pros
perity we favar an equitable adjustment
of the bonded debt of the United States.
9. That the desire of the present Con
gress, as manifested by the proceedings,
to secure to the wealthy bondholders pay
ment in coin on account of indebtedness
growing out of loans to the United States,
of Treasury note- when worth less than
one-half their coin value, after the hold
ers thereof have received exorbitant in
terest thereon, and at the same time leav
ing the pensions due unfortunate soldiers,
their wives, children or other kindred to
be paid in a depreciated currency, exhib
its a spirit of injustice, unsurpassed in the
history of class legislation and fully de
monstrates the existence of a design on
the part of the motived aristocracy 'of the
country to influence the establishment of
a policy favoring the aggrandizement of
it n- nt.il ai, ujo expense oi the poor : a
policy which lias for its object the aggre
gation of wealth, opulence' and power or.
the one hand, and misery, poverty anil
slavery on the other; a policy fisted only
to a monarchical form cf government.
10. That the ' Democracy of this S'afe
now. as heretofore, are strenuous advo
cates cf a tariff for purposes of revenue
only ; that the principle of protect i.m for
the sake of protection is at war with the
diversified interests of the people of the
State., and experience has shown its ten
dency to aggrandize a class in the com
munity at the expense and to the injury of
the producing and laboring millions, tax
ing their industry equally, in violation of
t lie authority of the Constitution, and of
tlie great principles that should govern
this people in : their intercourse with the
family of nations.
11. That we faror the adoption ot an
riendment to the Constitution -of the Uui-1
States, rec'mding the lldi and TCth
amendments.
12. That we are in favor of a liberal
policy being, pursued by the Legislature
of this State, in the bestowal of the land
grants to her for the purpose of public
improvements.
13. That the Governor and resigning
members of the Legislature, in engatrinir
in a conspiracy to overthrow the State
government, collect large amounts of coin
as revenue, to be drawn from the business
and hard earnings of the "people, (i H.
idle in the treasury, or to be the s .bjects
of gambling speculations in warrant
bonds and other securities, were guilty of
a high crime against, the Government of
Oregon, rendering them unworthy the re
spect and confidence of the . people or of
being further entrusted with the adminis
tration of the govern men t ; and while we
thus condemn the action of the Governor
and resigning members, we unhesitating
ly approve and endorse the conduct of the
Democratic members in earnestly and
faithfully striving to restore anil maintain
The organization of the Legislature, and
provide for the due administration of the
laws.
