Townseiiil. Counties not represented were Coos, Josephine, Lake, Union, Wasco, and tho two new counties, Klamath and Crook. The ijllo-.ving call for a convention was.agiecd upon. The State Democratic Convention is hereby called to 'meet at Dalles City, on Thursday the 17th of April next, at 10 o'clock A. 51., for the purpose of nom inating candidates for tho following oil ices: Judge of the Supreme Court, three Presidential Electors, Represent" live in the Lower House of Congress . and Distrietvpiliccrs for the several ju dicial districts and to select six dele- gates to tho National Democratic Con vention, and generally to do such other ' business as may of right com before such Convention. The Convention will ho comqosed of the following delegates Baker 4, Benton G, Clackamas 6, Clatsop 1, Columbia 2, Coos 4, Crook 1, Curry 2, Douglas 7, Grant 3, Jackson- C, Josephine 3, Klamath 1, Lane 7, Linn 9, Marion 8, Multnomah 13, Polk 5, Tillamook 2, Umatilla 9, Union C, Wasco and Crook 7, Washington 4, Yamhill 6, the same being one for each 200 votes and fraction over 100 cast for Hon. J. S. Smith at the lasl general election, and one delegate at large from each countv. Wc also reo ommend that the new counties of Crook and Klamath send on delegate at larce each to represent them in the Conveu tion, and that the-numbsr of delegates allotted to the counties of Wasco and Lake, from which these counties were .formed, b apportioned between the ol counties and the new. The committee deem it fitting to present to the Democratic voters of the State the following considerations: We see approaching an election o most vital import to our commonwealth la all its interests, both public and pri vate. Deeming honesty the best policy, and in striking contrast with the course of the opposing party, we have named an early day for the assembling of the State Convention. Our principles as a party will thea be enunciated, and our candidates placed in the field subject to llid approval or condemnation of the b!y politic. The variance of the vote in this State during the past fi.v years, aid especially the voiy cIosq contest in the Presiden tial election of 18S0, gives us much .Lope that, notwithstanding our present minority, with harmony in our ranks, and a well directed exertion of our strength, we shall carry off the palm of "victory. But to assure this end it is imperative that all De.nocrats should contribute their individual support and hearty co-operaLion, not only in the actual canvass but from its verv initia tion the county primaries. We do not presume to tresspass upon the pro vince of our popular Convention, but do earnestly invoke members of our party to put aside past differences and personal antagonisms, ! to unite in harmonious action in the various primaries and to jkend full f delegations of representative men to attend the State Convention. We have desmed it fitting to reduce the jiumber of delegates, in the hope of se curing the personal attendance of those to be chosen. We especially rec ommend the formation of local clubs where practicable, throughout the State. Believing that the success of the Democracy is the welfare of peo ple we cordjaljy invite all persons, re gardless of past affiliations, who favor symplieity, economy and frugality, in the administration of public affairs to unite with us. ' P. II D'Arcy, Al. Zieber, Secretary. Ch. D. S. C. C. TliK one xiams wliich brings terror to tji Jiearls of tho Rej)ublieans and clieera to the Hps of Democracy is that of the . old Sage, tho truo patriot, the great statesman fc)anuid J. Tiklen. ; - Campaign Opened. ' - : The Democracy of Oregon are called to meet in Mate uo.intion at the Dalles on the; 17th day of ApiiL The committee saw fit to recommend that primaries be hold on the fifth and countv conventions on the eleventh of the same month. Of course this is only a mere suggestion, and as meeting of State and. County Convention come close together it would be piudent if not necessary for remote counties to se lect an earlier day for holding the lat ter. ".: At last the war note -is sounded and it is with a sigh of relief that we greet it. We enter this contest not sanguine of victory nor despondent of the result, but with an errnesbefeterri?ination to do our very bvpl best to accomplish the very best. If we do onr duty and fail we have at least tho consciousness of a - i quiet, easy conscience which is above all earthy dignities. But halt! we neither want to be defeated nor do we mean to be. j The battle on our part is one of aggression and not of apology. Our State convention anticipates that of tho Republicans, and very compo sedly will the traps beset to be success- nlly sprung in June. The Democracy can honestly de nounce monopolies and their various amifications, and the Republicans lave to assent or go under. The Dem ocracy can wisely and safely denounce a systsm of tariff which projects capi tal and oppresses labor, and the Repub licans must j respond in the same way or be suffocated in the simoon of cor ruption. The fact is we have had the cov.rage to enter the field first, and our jrauntlet will not rest for tl doughty lhights of federal lucre to touch it only to drop it again in conf u sion and defeat. We want no Ions: platform ii is sufficient to say that we are Democrats of the Jeffevsonian i school, backed with Jacksonian pluck The integrity of the Staces, the preser vation of our government under the constitution: and the welfare of the whole people is all we need espouse, These epitomiza om principles and why should nfjt pur labors be crowned with the wreath of victory t Up, men, and at them! X long pull, a strong pull, a pull all together and we have reached the goal. ) . Political Eings, Etc. i : Ed. . Ixcependext: What is the matter, with the jioutTcal ring this year! Are they waiting for nndergound rail, way to matuae their plans, or are they waiting for the spirit to move them? If so, I hope it is not the evil spirit of the whisky -ring, the cyclone that passed over Ohio last fall, and onjjljt to be a warning to Oregon. The voice of 300,000 votes for prohibition will never i - be forgotten by the people of Ohio un til alcohol is banished from the State. So mote it be. There are many questions to be brought before ! the people of Oregon this year. The mortgage tax law, pro hibition, regulating freights and fares on the railroads of Oregon, and lat but not least, the woman suffrage question, which seems, or looks like a knot on a tree, which j hinders the growth. It is a wonderful hobby. ' Mr. Editor, how is it about the bridge across the south Umpqua river? Did th Cods Bay wagon road company agreo to build or make a wagoa road from Coos Bay to Roseburg, or not? If so they ought to Ijave built tho said bridge. , F. B. More and more is the associated tress, which controls the telegraph, be coming the mere tool to contiol and mislead the American people. It is used entirely in the interest of the Re publican party, at least so far as this coast is concerned. Its frantic efforts to-find a sentiment in the Republican ranks for any man, is am using in the extreme. It has tried to work up a Logan boom, then a Sherman boom, next an Edmunds, boom, an (J has finally, ia despair, brought forth the old" slogan of Blaine. But the trump Las lost its force, the old battle cry brings forth a feeblo response, where once was over whelming applause. It finds that no name can call that enthusiasm necessa ry to drown; the unanimous judgment and second j thought of the American people, whit-h embodies all principles of justice, of honor, of honesty combined in tho ond rtamd Samuel J. Tilden. The othei day a long-haired, raw boned specimen of a backwoodrinan dropped into our sanctum, stating that he was from Tennessee and was going to Puget Sound. We interviewed him on one thing and another until we reached the; question of politics and when we asked who he thought would bo the next president, he emphatically replied: "John C. RunnelL; we've just elected J him to congress and it's a dead sure thing," . That settles it, gen tlemen; take in your Sherman booms, your Hancock booms, your booms great and small, and with one accord join in the demand for John C. Runnells, the congressman from Tennessee! JohnC. Runnells to the front!
