ItOSEBURG. SATURDAY, NOV. 23.
BEPLELIOAH SOPHISamS.
The Republican journals and jour
nalists are promulgating many theories
and reasons for their defeat at the re
cent elections, and j are laboring assidu
OU3I7 to get up some kind of false sen
timent te counteract tho effect of the
great tidal wave of public sentiment
which has set in in 'favor of true eco
nomical principles land reformation in
the administration cf governmental af
fairs. They are asserting all kinds of
false dogmas and by their, press dis
patches and other means are accrediting
tbem to some prominent Detnocr t.
With a unanimity worthy of a better
cause, they continue to assign fale rea
sons for their defeat and try to create a
sentiment that the change of party al
legiance by the great Masses of the
people is not permanent. Were these
journals honest in ithis desire to save
the party of Lincoln and Seward they
would say to the people that corrupt
and venal leaders
had crowded into
place and assumed the reins of govern
ment and party -management, lhat
they had abandoned party; principles
and used the party; name . to create a
ghoddy aristocracy, in place of the re
public, and under the semblance of law
had for twenty years rbbbed the people
to keep up si system of extravagance
and thievery unknown to France in the
worst days ef the Commune. That this
aystem of robbery had weighed so heav
ly upon the industrial and farming
communities that they had become im
poverished thereby! to such an extent
that they saw with their own eyes the
products, of their labor passing from
their grasp to enrich the coffers of the
monopolists. j
Seeing all this the people have de
termined to abjure! their party allegi
ance, with all its ! traditions and its
glory, rather than to submit longer to
inch wrongs and outrages. That jthe
bofd. bad men who have, controlled the
. . j -1. 1
rganization of the Republican party
must be expelled from its counsels and
the principles and, policies by j which
they have robbed the people must be
changed or done away with before they
oan again be trusted with the affairs of
government. j

that we will not only carry Ohio next

The independent Republicans of
Pennsylvania have rebuked Cameron
with all needful emphasis. Their re
volt has destroyed his power and burst
the shackles of the . party. There is
nothing to break the shock of his defeat
and it is safe to. say he will never rise
from the. rums of his shattered "ma-
, chine" to Tesunie his role of dictator, in
the politics of the second State in the

TBS DEMOCRATIC PASTY.
The grand old party of tho people
in the recent elections, has achieved a
splendid victory for the cause of civil
liberty. The principles enunciated by
the fathers, which have slumbered for
so many years, whilst robbery, pecula
tion and frauds have run riot in the
land, have again reasserted themselves
in the voice of the people, who have
awakened to a sense of their own rights
and privileges and now knowing will
maintain them. The party which fer
many years has profited by the teach
ing of falso doctrines and corrupt prac
tices, will have to surrendor the scepter
of power and step down and out The
people have determined that we shall
come back to the ancient landmarks set
by the fathers for the protection of in
dividual rights and privileges. The
time has come when the people's ser
vants will be held to a strict Accounta
bility for official transgressions. The
glitter and glamour of empire must
fade and pass away before the solid
rays of a true republic, where the peo
ple are the power and not their ser
vants. The people have, by twenty
years experience, become,; convinced
that it is safer for them . to maintain
their right to local self government
than to trust the protection of their
life, liberty and property in the keep
ing of a great central despotism, which
magnifies by its distance and awes by
its absolute authority. Where the
people keep the administration of their
local affairs in their own hands and the
forjis so simplified that all can readily
understand, no great abuses can long
continue without detection, and the
means are ever at hand for their re
dress.
The Democratic party is founded
upon the principle that tho people are
the sovereign power; that they maintain
within themselves the elements of gov,
ernment, and in a state of civilized so
ciety, under appropriate forms,, have
the right to administer their own af
fairs to their own liking; that a major
ity shall rale, with due regards to and
respect for the rights of every member
of society. The people have learned
by a costly and ruinous experience
within the last twenty years, that this
is the only safe policy for a republic to
pursue, and that ihe opposite principle
leads to frauds and dishonesty in the
administration of the government, at
the expense of the people. Whenever
the administration of the affairs ef
government ,are so far removed from
the people and shrouded and mystified
by red tape that they cannot be ap
proached or understood by those who
are directly interested, the temptation
for speculation and robbery is so great
that the only wonder is that the people
have not been robbed of their entire
substance ere this."
The following ii'an extract from De
Long's journal, written on the 4th of
July, 1881: "Our flags are flying in
honor ot the day, though to me it is a
very blue one. Three years ago to-day
at Havre, the Jeannette was christened
and niany!j"pleasant things were said
and anticipations formed, all of which
ft
ave gone down witk the ship. I did
not think then that three rears after
wards would see us all out on the ice,
with nothing accomplished and a story
of a lost ship to come back to our well-
wishers at home. Mr dutr to those
who came with me is to see them safely
back, and to devote my mind and
strength to that end; my duty to those
depending on mo for support hereafter
impels me to desire that I should re
turn also; but, these duties apart, I
fancy it would have made but lit Je dif
ference if I had gone down with my
ship. But as there is nothing done
without some good purpose being
served, I must endeavor to look my mis
fortune in the face, and to learn what
its application may be. It will be
hard, however, to- be known hereafter
as a man who undertook a Polar expe
dition and souk bis ship at the seventy-seventh
parallel.

The total vote for Governor f Penn
sylvania in the 'recent election was
743,803. Pattison's plurality was
40,202. This is the largest vote over
polled in the State, with the exception
of the Presidential contest ot 1876 and
1880.
Goverxor elect Pattisoit, in a let
ter to the State Fencibles, tho battal
ion which tendered its services as an
escort upon tho occasion of his inaugu
ration, says: 'There is no reason I
can see why the mere taking of an oath
by a citizen called by the people to ex
ecute a public trust, should bo made

and demonstration. I am determined

The Tariff Commission.
Chicago Tribune (Rep)..
When the people's representatives at
Washington last Winter shirked the
tariff question by shuffling off on a com
mission, there was widespread dissatis
faction. This feeling grew into indig
nation when the President appointed
the commissioners, and denied all rep
resentation to any other than the pro-
tectional element
It is now announced that the forth
coming report of the commission will
not recommend any changes in taxation
bey end a sl'ght increase on some du
ties and a slight decrease of others,
1 be commission nas been in session
tnreeynontns, beginning who. a pro
longed examination for six weeks into
the infant industries fVLong Branch,
It has traveled 7000 mile, hs visited
seventeen of the principal cities, and
has taken 2000 pages of testimony.
But it has not traveled enough or taken
enough evidence.
It cannot see any reason why the
mountainous burden of tariff taxation
should be lifted, or why American in
duatries should be protected by giving
them the raw materials free of tax. It
recommends a slight decrease of taxes
to please one side and a slight increase
to please the other. The government
is taking from the people every month
in taxes $15,000,000 more than its
expenses and the interest on the public
debt. The appropriations last year
were swelled by all kinds of reckless
extravagance and dishonest jobbery.
On top of this, Washington advices
state that the different departments
have increased their estimates for the
coming fiscal year by $10,000,000.
Excessive taxation is bleeding business
and excessive revenues are demoraliz
ing the administration of the govern
ment, but the tariff commission think
no changes are necessary. , .
One cf the largest iron manufactur
ers in this country testified distinctly
to the commission that the taxes on
imported iron ores were a restriction
of American manufacturing. These
foreign ores are needed for mixing with
tho American ores. Every ton of for
eign ore made a market for a ton of
American ore, and excited a new de
mand for American labor. But the
commission's sole recommendation with
regard to the taxes on iron is that they
be not increased!
Those worthy men have not traveled
enough. They must be started out
again. , They should not be allowed to
stop, but kept going forever the sev
en Wandering Jews of reform.

An Omaha dispatch of the 20th inst
says: Senaior Grover, f Oregon, who
passed through this city Friday on
route for Washington, told a reporter
that the Democrats on the Pacific
coast are gratified over the success of
their party in the east and being able
to supplement it with a Democratic
majority in California. While the
ware came too late to reach Oregon,
Democrat there are not discouraged.
Politicians in California-and Oregon
already speak of nominating governor
elect Cleveland, of New York, for
President in 1884, if he should devel
op in his new field administrative qual
ities like those which characterized his
administration of the city of Buffalo,
which qualities constitute the present
need of the people. In the event of
Cleveland's nomination Governor
Steneman, of California, will be the fa
vorite for Vice President Justice
field, however, has many friends as a
candidate for President" .
Cleveland received 200,000 majori
ty, but if the President had not gone
home to vote his majority would have
reached the enormous number of 200,
001. And yet there are those who
doubt tho patriotism of the President.
Chalmers has been counted out
He will probably contest As he was
ousted last session by his late Republi
can allies, it is not probable that he
will be seated "by those whom he be
trayed. -
