im mediately at work to invent an excuse
whicn they can use in case they are in
duced to go into the arrangement of bar
gain and sale. This excuse is the plea
that no other man thane Flaxbrake can
secure a road for Southern Oregon. The
excuse is as fallacious and groundless as
his estimation of the integrity of the De
mocracy of Southern Oregon is false and
slanderous. Is it indeed necessary to re
elect Williams in order to secure a road
for Southern Oregon? This is the burden
of the song doled out day, after day by his
pensioned o;gan grinder, and the chorus
of which is taken up and sung by nearly
every Radical organ of the State. They
don't condescend to tell us whence Flax-
brake gets these powers, denied to ordi- j
nary mortals they only utter their abso
lute ipse dixit and demand of all implicit
faith in the assertion. Cheel
is a eoot

tribute of journalism, and impudence of
assertion ofttimes seemingly supplies the
place of legitimate argument, but when a
journalist presumes too much upon the
ignorance or credulity of his readers he
very often wins their disgust instead ot
directing their bias. Such is the result of
the cheeky assumptions of Ilolladay and j
his paid organs. The proposition they
advanccPis so manifestly absurd that no
man whom the gods had not made blind
for his own destruction would lor one mo
ment propose to use it. Indeed the very
converse of their proposition is the true
one. If the people of Southern Oregon
desire a road through that section, both
common sense and reason demand that
some man not under Ilolladay "s control
should be elected Senator. The Act of
Congress under which Mr. Ilolladay is
building his road designates its route
through the Umpqua and Rogue River
Valleys. He has commenced the building
of this road. He has secured the land
graiftt for the first twenty miles already.
He has also through Flaxbrake obtained
permission to float his grant so as to gob
ble up all the valuable Land in the Wil
bamette Valley. He will
i tin tie the road
to Kugene City, secure all the valuable
vacant land, and theu if Geo. II. Williams
is elected Senator be will endeavor to get
the Act amended so that he can diverge
his road over an easier route, leaving
Southern Oregon in the cold That this
is his uttermost object there is no reason
able doubt. If such an impossible thing
afe the election of Williams or any other
man whom Ilolladay designates should
occur the next thing the people ol South
ern Oregon would see published in Hul
laday's organ would be the report of his
engineers that the route through Southern
Oregon was utterly impracticable, and
that the only way ta secure through con
nection would be by some other route.
The only safety for the people of Southern
Oregon lies in the
lection of a Democratic
Senator, who will demand of Mr. Hollada
inasmuch as he has secured such a val
. , , . . ... ,. ,, i
ablf. land mnt in (tu , i:iniri 'o -illi.r
that he shall push his road through upon
the route designated, and thus secure a
road throughout the whole length of the
Sate. As to any promises be may make
to that or any other section, they can un
derstand their value by referring to his
violated word in regard to the employ
ment of Chinese laborers. And as to any
threats he may make, they are as futile as
bis endeavors last June to thwart the will
of the people by the free use of gold. lt
is to the interest of the people of ad see -
tions of this State that this capitalist who
has so soon exhibited his desire to rule as
with a rod of iron should be checked, and
if necessary ground to powder between
the upper and nether millstones of State
Legislative power.
We unhesitatingly present the name of
Senator Williams before the people ol
Oregon, as a man whose career for five
years past has developed character ami
influence beyond that of any man ever
sent from the Pacific coast.--Statesman.
Yon -unhesitatingly" presented Ins
name on the Gth of June last, and it was
" unhesitatiPgly" rejected by the voters
of Oregon. As for the "character and
influence" which he developed, the peo-
pie of Oregon have long since come to
the conclusion that they desired no farther
" developments ot that Kino, i ney even
asked him to resign two years ago tor tne
character and influence ' which he ba :
establi hed. It would be a fine joke to
elect Williams this time, when the De
mocracy asked him to resign his seat two
years ago.

The policy of the administration in every
vital issue has been such as to make the
people lose confidence in the party which
placed it in power. The' are seeking for
relief from other quarters, and many are
flocking to the Democracy all over the

The result in this county was obtained by
the railroad hands, who have since the
election been taken from the county, and
who never had a bona fide residence in the
county. In 1868 the Democracy lost this
county on the State ticket by 25 majority,
and on the Representatives by about the
enee ot o2 votes, and this difference is
gained by a known actual decrease in the
bona tide voters of these precincts. This

j There is no question in the mind of any
j citizen of this county but what a fair ex
pression of the legal and actual voters of
the county would have elected every man
on the Democratic ticket by a majority
ranging from 40 to 75, and the question
now is whether the people of this county
shall have this right.
It is useless to protest that legislation
should not be governed by favoritism or
be made a matter of political preference.

This undoubtedly is true so far as Con
gressional legislation goes. It has been
for personal favoritism, and nothing else,
that anything has been secured lor the
past eight years. Rut what presumption
to ask the Democracy in the same article
to elect Geo. 11. Williams, whose views

the same rule is applied in Oregon ? This
same argument was used two years ago in
I the campaign, and also last year, yet we
find that Mr. Smith has made an able Rep
I resentative, and did more than both of his
Radical predecessors. It is another in
stance of " drowning men catching at
straws. Two years hence a majority of
the C. S. Senate will be Democratic, and
then, applying the same rule as laid down
by the Statesman, what would Williams'
influence be lor his remaining four years'.'
The time is coming when personal favor
itism won't control the Senate or House
of Representatives, but right and justice
will be the watchword.

protection."
Why are these Chinese brought to Mass
achusetts'.' Because thev promise to work
for less w ages than the New England men
and women can afford to take. Why are
wages lowered .' Because the tariff, fram
ed in the interests of the monopolists,
makes all the materials of industry dear.
The people of the United States now have
fewer shoes and boots to wear, in propor
tion to their number than they had ten
years ago. and the exports of boots and
shoes has almost ceased.
Yet there is no branch of industry in
which there have bi en greater improve
ments, or more complete substitution of
machinery and hand-work. A workman
can now do at least twenty-live per cent
more work in a day. and of much better
quality than he could ten years ago : yet
he gets no greater comfort for his days'
wages, in fact, not as much as then.
We have this strange result coming

na? Make the material and tools used in the
shoe manufacture free ; strike them out of
the tariff, where they produce uo revenue i
that we cannot easily spare, and not only
will wages rise at once, but the business,
one of the largest and most important in
New England, and one. too, which has
never been protected, will revive at once,
and the foreign trade which the tariff has
lost us will be regained, while the opera
tives will receive proper wages. Let the
Christian societies combine with the shoo
manufacturers ifi New England to demand
this of Congress ; and let then refuse, this
Fall, to support any one for Congress
who will not pledge himself to insist, in
Congress, on the immediate repeal of all
duties which make the manufacture ot
shoes dear, and thus lower the wages of
the operatives. No man has a right to
call himself a republican, or to be support
ed by the republicans, who would perpet
uate for a day this gross wrong to New
England working men and women.

Dm ing the season when the Cold Harvest
is generally suspended, and the reaperscof
the glittering crop seek the cities to enjoy
themselves, there is, of course, a good deal
of conviviality among this enterpt ising and
hard-working class ; but dram drinking is
not carried to the excess that it vnta som-j
years ago. This may fai.lj- be attributed to
the growing distaste for raw spirits engen
dered bv the use of HOSTKTTER'S STOM
ACH BITTERS. This famous stomachic is
in universal favor with the miners. They
take it with them to the interior, and uje it
regularly, not as a beverage, but as a
strength sustaining toidc, and an antidote to
the unhealthy influences to which they ait.
