For several years past our town has enjoyed
the foi'iii'llt of good common schools made Iree
to all. In addition to tlio revenue from the
school fund of tho State, of which Marion
county has Its duo proportion, our citizens
have annually voted a small tax on the prop
erty of this school district, which has sulllccd
to support our common schools and make ed
ucation a Iree thing among us. The died of
this lias not only been to bring schooling
w lililu reach ot many families In poorer cir
cumstances, but it has ndded greatly to the
standing and character of Salem, which, as
thu capital city of a prosperous State, has a
reasonable ambition to excel, and is expected
to take a loiemost position on all leading
questions and to show enterprise and liberal
ity hi public affairs.
Our citizens have expended largely, and to
soinu extent unprolltably, In making Improve.
mciits suited to the character ol our city, and
have reason to bo proud ol their enterprise.
Jlicy havo now tho name of being public
spirited and liberal In matters pertaining to
other local Interests, and hitherto we havo de
served respect lor our liberality in maintain
ing free schools,
To-slay tho public schools clo'o lor the sea
son, and will not ngaln bo opened, probably,
until next fall. Thu Intention, at tho school
meeting last Spring, was to vote a sufilcient
sum to sustain freu schools during tlio year.
but tho means thus raised have only been Mif
llclent to carry them through two thirds orthu
year, and wo must all regret to see them
closed through thu Spring, unless opened and
conducted as private enterprises.
It Is entirely unnecessary to argue with our
citizens as to thu hnpoitinco of public instruc
tion, tor wo hau an enlightened community
which fully compiehends mid appreciates all
that. Wo can nolnt. with considerable nrlil,.
and satisfaction, to thu high character our
public schools have attained, and tho credit
duu to our school directors, who have dNIu
teroitodly laboied to propel ly grade our
schools and make (bum ellllclent. Our teach
ers, too. aie competent and ablo persons, uud
our readers inu-t s,u that tlic-ru Is a direct loss
Involved hi having the schools disband, the
chlldieu go untaught, and thu regular corpsof
icaciiers inrown out ol employment, which
cannot easily bo made up alter an Interval ol
six months.
There aru many persons among us In toler
ably cointoitab.M circumstances as labnilii"
people, who llud It no easy matter to pay
-cln.ol bills, an they will Icel compelled to -end
only a p.ut of their children tocchool. There
aiv many otbeis. heioas lu eveiy oilier town,
who must hne fico schools or Uiey cannot
send their children at nil. I.et us, thcrolnie,
cnrelully consider and vote iiiiderstaudlugly
in inu coming uiMiict .-ilinol nieethi!'. ami
iiMiid a peiiiiy-wi-oaiul pound foolMi policy lu

through them all without a "scratch'' arc
ready to break like raw militia at the first
tire. If they arc called upon to follow trlcktors
and leaders ol the D.ilgctty stripe. No party
can now command the support of Its followers
unless It tint commands tlielr anijidencc by
declaring honest and worthy prlnclnles, and
selecting Its very best men as candidates, and
by doing all this fairly and openly and with

Iiian tilltorlat urging upon tho coming
Democratic State Convention to mike thu
best possible nominations, tho Salem Mercury
shows that It fully appat-late tho sentiments
ot the eopJe and respects tho leellng of hide,
pcndence that iiiles thu laud, lteferrlng to
the veakenlng of patty ties It iocs tho follow,
lug forcible language :
Heretofore whatcier might be tho chii-acter
ot tho work; ot a vollilcal wnveiitlou the

We learn that mi Wednesday evening the
Democratic Statu Convention, which met at
Albany, nominated Gov. Grover for re-clcc-tlon,
as also Secretary Chadwlck, and placed
In the field as the party nominee for Congress
Hon. Gen. A. La Dow, of Umatilla. The nom
ination of Grover and Chadwlck was expected,
though it was known that a strong effort
would be made by tho friends ol cx-Gov.
Whltcakcr to secure his nomination.
While It is claimed that Governor Grover
has paid strict attention to his official duties
and has accomplished far more than his pred
ecessor did for the Interests of the State, still
we feel that his nomination was no concession
to the popular feeling against rings and party
drill-masters. Ills re-noinlnatlon was fore
ordained by county rings, nnd ho had secured
to himself personal organs hi each county, by
his veto of the bill repealing the litigant net.
Grover Is a life-long politician, has to carry
Into tho canvass thu odium of some very bad
appointments made to reward partisans who
had done rough and unscrupulous service, and
will be weighed down by their unwortlilness,
as well as by his endorsement of the salary
grabs, his veto oftho litigant repeal, and nn
olllclal and political record which pronounces
him an ambitious politician working for high
er place. We should havo piefericd to see
Gor. Whlteakur put In nomination which
would haye liven a response to tho wish ot the
peoplu to bu represented by men of the peo
ple and not by politicians.
Sccit'ary Chadwlck Is both popular and a
good olliivr. so Tarns wc have knowledge, nnd
his rc-uo.iiluatlou was a very proper move,
for wlillo his namo Is connected lu some re
spects with thu action of thu State Hoard a

tlon the Governor cannot conveniently di

wlck certainly strengthens the Democratic
ticket, and we Ireely accord him the character
ofn worthy citizen uud a good olllcer.
Thu nomination tor Congress is thrown as
a sop to Kastem Oregon, which was expected.
Mr. LnDow was a member of llio last Legis
lature, nnd as ueli, volcd for tho measures
which make that Legislature unpopular. It
he can suivlvu the popular odium which at
taches to that session, and can uss thu or
deal sure Jo come, ol a close scrutiny of his
voiusnsiimciiiherolth.it bodr. In, will i.n
foitiiuaie.
Mr. LaDowisa pleasant gentleman, evident
ly Is popular nt home, ami we arc Inclined
to think would niaku a good candidate It Im
had no legislative record. Wo confess to n
kind and friendly feeling for him personally,
hut we doubt the good policy of any Congrcs
sioual candid sto being taken from tho Legis
lature of 1S7J. unless ho consistently op
posed Its breaches of the Constitution and its
reckless wa-te of thu public lands and disre
gard of thu State credit. In this connection
we may say that hi our opinion .Mr. Xesmlth
Is doing good sen Ice lu Congress that would
warrant his patty in renominating him If he
had the good will ol the party to do It. It is
not easy to fathom the Intricacies of party
conventions and our history as a Stato shows
tint no congressman need ever expect a re
noinhiatlon. We further learn that the Convention met
again this (Thursday) morning, nnd made the
nominations, for thu rest of the State ticket at,
follows: Por State Treasurer, Hon. A. II.
llrown, oflliker City, Mr. llrown has been
a strong partisan, Is a man of excellent char
acter and abilities, ami in every way a good
candidate, If hu can explain his votes lu tho
two last legislatures satisfactorily.
For Stato Printer, M. V. llrown, oftho Al
bany Democrat.
For SuH-rlutendent of distinction, Hcv. E.
J. Dawue, of Salem, who Is well known to
our citizens as an accomplished gentleman,
whatever tu iy lie his especial qualllleatloiw
for this position.
For Judge of 2d Judicial District, Judgo I..
F. Mo.hcr, ofltoscbuig.
For Prosecuting Attorney for this District,
a young man named J. J. Whitney, of Al
bany. .
o confess to disappointment tint the Al
bany Convention found no firmer in tliat
great party worthy of a nomination at Its
hands.
