OBITUARY. OBITUARY. ...................... . * • • 1 1 SATURDAY MORNING, JUNK 11, 1870. Yl E HAVE MET THE ENEMY, AND THEY ARE' OURS. Th® Democracy of Oregon have reason to be proud of the victory they have .recently won. The whole State ticket is triumphantly elected—the Legislature is Democratic. The hosts of th® railroad monopolists have been vanquished. The Treasury thieves and pub lie plunderers, who have held sway over our State fur the last eight years, have gone to th® tomb«, and a new and brighter era dawns on the destinies of Oregon. Geo. H. Wil liams, the tool of Holladay, the advocate of the infamous Reconstruction measures, and th® damnable Fifteenth Amendment, descend« from his seat in the Senate to merited obliv. ion, and a better and more honest man will hereafter fill his place. Oregon is redeemed thank God from the thraldom to which she has b<.en subjected by the Williamses, the Woodses, and Gibbses, and Cookses. These The interesting progeny of Bill. Isb and Grandmother Dowell departed this life on Iasi Monday, after a very brief and sickly exist enc®. In its life it was not lovely, and in death we see no improvement. From botl parents it inherited an utter lack of principle, and from its maternal parent other vicious qualities which rendered even its brief lift* somewhat of a miracle. The acene around the death couch of the speckled baby wa inexpressibly touching. The paternal pro genitor clearly foreseeing from the symptoms developed on Saturday that bis baby was not long for this world, and unable to witness its dissolution, departed on the stage for Port land on Sunday morning. Grandmother Dowell, however, remained by the death couch until the last moment. During the afternoon Dr, Hyde fancied that he saw symp toms of a rally, whereupon Grandmother Dowell’s mouth distended in a ghastly grin to that extent that the bystanders started back in frantic haste, lest they should meet the fate of Jonah with a difference. Bui aoon the hand of death was manifest. In vain Dr. Hyde plied his soothing syrup, and poured the words of consolation in the ears of the afflicted friends. In vain nurse Han ley shook up the pillows and smoothed the coverlids. In vain the other nurse, Wrisley, rushed around creating an unusual amount of confusion as usual, and doing nothing use ful ; the spasms of death shook the untortu nate hybrid from head to foot, each moan from the mottled patient eliciting a corre sponding squeak from its grief stricken par ent; each feeble kick of the spotted limbs caused a simultaneous groan from the nurses, llauley and Wrisley, while Dr. Hyde finding the patient too far gone to take bis regular doses of soothing syrup, wouderiul to relate, took the dose himself. Here Judge Tolmun, ¿s legal adviser, made his appearauce upon the scene to draw the will ; but to his horror, was told that the patient was a political pau per, as well as a bastard, and could leave no estate ; therefore, bis chances for a legacy were of the smallest. About 6 p. m. a faim moan, a feeble kick from two mottled feet, a weak movement from two speckled arms, a slight heaving of a spotted breast, followed by a loud squeak, two groans, and the crash of a falling bottie of soothing syrup, and ‘‘this speckled progeny of many oonjunc tures” was dead as a mackerel. The funeral sermon will be preached to night in Jackson ville by Fay, Klippel, Shipley, and others. The afflicted friends and relatives of the de ceased are respectfully invited to attend. men vanish from the political arena, pursued by the execrations of the people whose inter ests they have betrayed and whose pockets they have plundered. Of our own county we have still greater reason to be preud. An infamous coalition against the Democracy was formed between th® Republicans, who panted for success “as lb® heart paoteth for the waterbrooks/’ and a gang of political mercenaries subsidized by the money of capitalists and monopolists in th® northern end of the State, the end and object of which was to elect Williams to the Senate and to carry an amendment to the State Constitution, striking out the $50,000 prohibition clause. This coalition between mercenary and recreant Democrats and the equally mercenary Republicans, commenced a warfare upon the Democratic nominees un paralleled in the history of this county for bitterness, malignity and baseness. The vilest falsehoods, the lowest and meanest vib lification, the most atrocious slanders, and th® dirtiest and most vindictive abuse were heaped upon the Democratic candidates in order to secure their defeat. These means were not used where the charges, true or false, could t>e met and refuted, but in dark corner®, and behind doors, by such spaniels and fetchers and carriers as Ad. and Ji in Helms, “Curly,” and others of that ilk, bv mention of whose names we will not further disgrace these columns : and su<*h subsidized sheets as the Albany Democrat, lent its ready aid to defeat the Democratic canii dates for State Senator and the Legislative ticket. But the true and sturdy democracy of Jackson rallied to th® old banner as they have oHeo done tn limes past, and with the aid of honest Republicans, disgusted with the tricks and the treachery of the coalition, have The Bolter’s Record. administered a rebuke which has forever kill* ed and buried this infamous combination, We propose to publish the names of those which was conceived in fraud and brought forth in corruption.

It has, heretofore, been the rule in political conventions that when an individual allows his name to be in a convention in connection with a nomination, is in honor bound to sup port the succes'ful candidate; and a refusal so to do, involves not only his political stand ing bnt bis personal honor. Col.

While his name was still upon the ticket, he busied himself in getting up a ‘ People’s Ticket” ; and, after some exertion he thought the prospects were favorable toward the accomplishment of his purpose, he then, and not till then, gave the following notice to this office for publication : We learn from the Mercury, that the time for holding the next annual State Fair ha* been fixed for Monday, Octo- bei 10th, 1870—to continue six day®.
