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.

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.

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

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. R«>ss was a
candidate for the nomination for State Sena
tor before the last Democratic Convention,
received 10 votes out of 46, and then allowed
his nnme to be used in connection with the
office of Representative, and was nominated
on the second ballot. 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 :
