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.

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!
