lit ,-7;Y.; .JUNE 15, 1878 THE NEXT BONE OF CONTENTION. ITbvr that the State and countr elections are decided, the next bone oi contention will be who EUSlt BUCGCCU ! AX iUUUUCII III the United States Senate, i Of coarse Mitchell's successor must be a Democrat, since the majority in the nest Legislature will be Democratic and vote lor the elec tion of a Democrat to fill Mitch ell's shoes. Among the aspirants lor the fcigb and honorable position we name Dr. J. C. Hawthorne, Jas. H. Slater, 8. F. Chad wick, J. V. ITesmith, and Judge Primm They : are .the riost prominent cow, but we doubt whether eith r named will . be considered a suitable by ' the Legislature to assemble. Multnomah county already has secured the Governor, and it there is to be an equal di vision of the spoils, according to thS Jacksoniau idea, that county cannot consistently press Or Haw thorne's claims. Slater is a d. d., as interpreted by J. W. For ney's enemies, and generally re garded as an old, worn-out, bro kendown political hack, without wheeli, coupling pole or horses; ' mm.rn.rn -M u. a u tjrm. a w .am a a n w m. bibb a a bbt bbs b b lor putting him into the highest position within its gift when it has better men to reward. No one knows whether Gov. Chad wick is seeking the position, and as yet he has not developed the strength he may be possessed of. bauds and lay they are clean of the defeat of a) portion, of the Democratic State tbket,and Dem ocrats are, therefore, liable to ht shy ofhim. This brings us io' Judgo Primra. He was re sentlj elected Circuit Judge, and ,4t ia a question whethor the pais ty desire - to honor a man too mush. A good many are very liable to think he m already pro vided tor when it comes to the election of Senator: and if ' this is tfca esse, it is very likely he will &e compelled to content himself xttih the control of his judicia dh'rict and its consequent talarv cf 3,000 a year, . a J . a at nui it musi must not be fcr- gotten that in the selection of the candicates on the Democratic Congressionnl and State tickets ;this year Southern Oregon was altogether left out in the cold. .Eastern Oregon, Multnomah .county and the Willamette ralley ftrete all remembered, and repre a m m aemauves oi muse sections were tfarored with nominations. Un- der those circumstances it is very 'likely that there will beany nam ;Der oi ox men pernaps tne en itire Southern Oregon delegation to point to this fact, and argue 'that it is dje this part of the Btate that one of our citizens be preferred. It is also pmbable Abat this delegation will also ar gue that the wants of Southern Oregon, in the matter of national legH-'ticn. are many, and that as I"citcra Oregon and the Willam ettt? vaitey hare enjoyed the priv ilege . jointly heretofore of nam ing the Senator, it is now time that the people here should hare something to say with this regard, and name a man from Southern Oregon whom they know i will look after and advance the inter ests of Southern Oregon. If the Bo nth e rn Oregon delegation go united, and contend in this spirit for the election of a Southern Oregon man, there is no doubt thev will be successful. Withont the votes of our delegation- there can be no election ; and it would be a masterstroke if, by expressed determination to accept no one e.ee, Southern Oregon mem bers of the Legislature should compel the politicians of the par ty td" stand back, and give to our ebpleije 'Senatorwe 'so ranch. eed to" secure ; appropriations for thrimprerement of our har bors, the aurrty of our lands, and the development of our natural resources. It will be strange it our members elect do net go to the Legislature with the knowl edge that they are tent there to represent the people who elected them, and it will also be strange ljf they do not having the baN ance of power elect a man whose interests are with us and for us to the Senate. - Let him come in as a compromise man or otherwise,but the motto of ' our representatives should be: "Let him come, from Southern Oregon' THE STATE ELECTION. 1 .i-. ... : .. : - . - M The reports received up to the present writing go to show that W htteaker is' eI.ected to Congress by from 500 toOO majority. As to who is elected Governor ... re- mains in doubt, but Thayer's "chances seem to oe better than those of Beekman, and it is quite probable that Thayer is elected by a rery small majority. There is no doubt of the election of Earhart, Iiirech, Carter and Pow ell by handsome majorities.

AW will agree with us iu the assertion that two better men uever ran for the same office, in this or any other State. The people will be satisfied to hear of the election of either. : i - Exciting News. The dispatch received by Ash er Marks, Esq., from Gov. Chad wick acopyot which we publish elsewhere created considerable stir among our citizens. Ten miuutes after its receipt, an "ex tra," containing tb,3 dispatch and an answer was published from the Independent office and circa lated upon the streets free of charge; and : at once : nwuy brave men sigiJfied their willingness to go to Eastern . Oregon to help the snfieiing settlers it so authorized by the Government. It Govt rnor Chad wick will ask it ot our peo pie we will f Ornish a full compa ny of men. In ' times' like these Douglas county does not propose to stand in the rear ranks. Put us in the front ranks, Governor, and if we do not prove ourselves good soiuieri, men can . us cowarat but not till then. t nQ ii ii ; Grows Small.
