ISON, ol Bker; W, D. FENTON, of Yamhill; A. C. JONES, of Douglas. Prosecuting Attorney 2d Dlst., J. W. HAMILTON, or Douglas ounty. . DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. The Democracy of the State of Oregon, la council 'assembled declare: First--That we furor the forfeiture of all unearned railroad and wagon road grants and the opening of the land to settlement and occupancy by those enti tied to the benefits of the various land laws of the United States. Second That we are in favor of the passage by congress of laws made in "the Interest of the people, : regulating Inter-State commerce, and also State laws, con roiling aud regulating fares and freights upon all transportation lines, and preventing discrimination in favor of or against persons or places. Third -That we look with alarm upon the unau thorized assumption of power and jurisdiction of United States courts in interfering with officers col lecting the revenue of the State of Oregon. Fourth That we wejfn favor of the mortgage tax law, aud believe the fitrtiple of taxation enunciated therein is correct, and ought to be sustained. Fifth That we favor the passage of such laws in relation to the assessment and collection of taxes as will make the assessment and taxation of property equal and uniform throughout the State, and demand the strict enfoi cement of such laws when enacted. ' Sixth That the power conferred by the federal constitution upon congress to enact tariff laws was given for the sole and exclusive purpose of deriving revenues for the support of such government, and that the enacting of any tariff law for any other pur pose, such ai taxation of one class of people for the benefit of miv other nliuui of neonle. is as entirely un warranted by the constitution as it is repugnant to . justice and inimical to the general welfare, and we therefore favor a tariff for revenue, limited to the ne cessities of government economically administered, aud a gradual but persistent reduction of the exist ii.g protective duties. Seventh That the Improvement of our coast har ' bors, the Columbia river and its tributaries, is of vital importance to the commerce of the whole State of Oregon, and we earnestly ask that an adequate ap- ; propriation be made by our present congress to begin the' work of the Columbia river bar improvements, already too long neglected. We also ask such appro- " priation for the Cascade locks as will Insure their needy completion; also, we ak of our representa tires in congress a united effort to secure a liberal . appropriation for the improvement and continuation t the work of improving the harbors of Yaquina bay, Coos bay and the Coquifle river. Eighth That we favor the abelitlttn of the prison . contract system, and the present coolie trade con . ducted on this coast, as degrading to the wage-work ers of the country. Ninth That for the purpose of preventing growing frauds in our elections, and to preserve the fruits of the ballot-box, we fav.or the passage of a registry law Tenth That we are in fauor of more efficient m ehinics' lien laws. Their Platform. The platform of the It publican par ty of Oregon i the acme f cheek, The wheieas clauses are sublimely cool. .Whence stated that tuu great . party has been successful bj being aggressive etc., it recites the truth. Of course it has been aggressivg it has assaulted the constitution of the United States beyond numbering; the rights of the States, to that party, have been a myth; the rights of white men are found in their investigating committees, to the end that they be disfranchised and this grand aggressive party perpetuated. . It is a darling of a party. This enun- ciation of the grand principles of this grand party contains, anions ether things, this important declaration "We reaffirm the past policy of tae . Republican party to foster and eneour age railroad building," etc. Certainly they do, and glad are we to say the whole people of Oregon understand this most unfortunate fact We can not and we will not forget the credit .moMliar fraud, nor can we dismiss from memory the truth that the people of the United States were cruelly circa ra vented fey the crime of subordinating ur mortgages upon the property of the Union Pacific railroad and the Cen irai jfacinc, to the lien of the moat venal ana corrupt corporation the world ever developed. Ye, Eepubli can party, be honest, for ence, and say vto the people that you will no longer deceive them, but, on the contrary, that yen intend to hand us all, body, bouta and breeches, un to wicked and mer cenary monopolies. Their sixth resolution is a charmen if we did not want to tell the truth. It substantially says that by the generous policy of the Republican party libera! appropriations hare been made for har- . bor and other improvements. This is ; simply a lie. The record will attest that no Republican, saving possibly . lion. J. II. Mitchell, ever originated a measure to develop tha wealth of our joung and good State, and upon him has been pronounced their maledictions. They saw fit to repudiate our existing , law as to vne mortgage tax ana urge that it may be altered to the end that foreign bodies, although enjoying wealth from the people, shalll be ex- empt from legitimate liabilities. We 7 are not the custodian of either the heart . or the brain of the populace, but we sorely hope they will enquire concern ing those things which most nearly effect them. Awak, arouse, or bo for ever fallen! The Morrison tariff bill has been de feated ia the house of - representatives by 41 Democratic and all the Republi can members voting on - a motion to strike out the enacting clause. One hundred and fifty Democratic members voted in favor of the bill and a reduc tion of the tariff Democratic County Convention. Tie' convention was called to order by Hon. J. C. Drain. The officers of the former convention were elected, consisting of: i ' Chairman, 0 C. Di'alnJ secretary W. F. Owenaj assistant Secretary, W. S. Sheridan. Committee on credentials wa9 ap pointed as follows: Simpson BcckleVj E. II. Burchard and James Dillard. The following committee on order of business was also appointed by toe chair: W. R. Smith, Henry lckley, James Burnett, J. J. Caulfield and John Blackwood. The following committee, on resolu tions was appointed: W. F. Owens, J. L. Fisher, John Hall. Adjourned until one o'clock P. M. AFTERNOON SESSION. Convention was called to order at 1 o'clock P. if. m. . xno committee on credentials re ported 81 delegates entitled to seats in the convention. The committee on platform reported the following resolutions, which were adopted unanimously by the convention: Whereas, The principles enunciated by the Democracy T)f the State of Ore gon in their State platform, is a clear declaration of the principles of the Dem ocratic party, therefore be it Resolved, By the Democracy of Douglas county in convention assem bled, that we reaffirm the principles therein set forth, and Whereas, The Republican party has for twenty years, by national and State legislation, fostered encroach- w orients of corporate power on the rights of the people, and Whereas, The Republican party in both county and State conventions re fused directly and positively, instruc tions upon the question of regulating fares and freights on transportation lirftes in this State, therefore, as an ad ditional Guarantee to the people of Douglas county, be it Resolved, By the Democracy in con vention assembled, that our senators and representatives from this county be and they are hereby instructed to use all honorable means to aid in pass ing such laws as will remedy the evil and such as are just to the corporation and satisfactory to the producing class. The committee fen orde" ot business made their report, which wai adopted and the ticket nominated as follows: Stale senators W. F. Owens, Jas. Chenoweth. Reprcssntatives James D. Burnett Isaac C. Kent, Henry Backley, T. C. Mackey. County Clerk W. T. Wright. Sheriff B. Brockaway. County Commissioners S. B. Carr, John Hall. Assessor E. C. Sacrey. School Superintendent G. T. Bus- sell. Surveyor r William Thiel. Coroner Ezekiel Wright. Harmony prevailed throughout the convention. jTIie ticket nominated is a strong cne. The candidates for sena tor, Mr. Owens and Mr. Chenoweth, though young men, are of the most substantial business men of the county They were both raised in Douglas coun ty and are well known to our peeple They have both had experience in our State legislature and have ma.le for themselves records that no man should be ashamed lot They will both be elected, if the taxpayers of Douglas county consult their interest and the welfare of this portion of the State. For representatives. James D. Bur nett is one of the oldest and most sub stantial farmers of the county. He is a man of broad and liberal ideas, has a fair education aad is well posted on the current events of the day. He knows well the wants of our people and with him the interests of Douglas county are safe, in the matter of legislation. I. C. Kent and Henry Beckley are both ox tensive farmers and business men, well known to the people of this county and who need no; special mention at ofir sands. Dr. T. C. Mackey of Gardiner, is the choice of his section f the coun ty. He is one of the finest educated gentlemen on the Pacific coast, and he ranks high as a physician. He is ap proaching the meridian of life and will afford safe counsel in the legislative halls. For county- clerk W. T. Wright is the right man in the right place. He has served the people of this county faithfully and honestly and carefully sjaarded their public money for six long years, is; well acquainted with the routine of office work and the people of the county will do well in placing him in a position where he can more effec tually guard their interests and lessen their burdens. For the office of sheriff a better selec. tion could not have been made than that of Burbaii Brockaway. He helped to rescue this country from the wild men of the forest He is a man of calm and even temper, of indomitable will, undoubted courage, who will never ghrfnk from doing his duty on account cf danger. He has had considerable experience in j the sheriff's office and is one of the best executive officers Dou" las county ever had. The county commissioners, John Hall of Myrtle CPeck, and S. B. Carr of Yoncalla, are well known to the peeple of Douglas county. They are both successful farmers and business men, who have succeeded well in their own private affairs and will guard wll til finances df this county. Of their" election there can be' no qseStiori. For assessof, Squire Sacrey of Oak- htndi is the best selection the conven- d far that imnort- nu v vuiv.vt -i.-. v aj kaw Mww-) well the value of property, is a fin clerk, fully competent to do the clerical work of the office himself. For school superintendent Pref. G. T. Russell is one of the finest educa tors in the State. He is a gentleman of mature years and the people of this county should not fail to place him in this most impertaat position, which eomei so near their heearthstones and upon which depends the prido and glory of our State and nation. flnunt? trpflsnrcr Wm. Moore is a young man of good habits, a fine book keeper. He has well and faithfully kept the moneys of the county for the last two years. His accounts are straight and the people will trust him for another term. William Thiole is the most competent surveyor in the county, a gentleman whom no man need hesitate to vote for. He is an old resident of the county and the people without regard to politics, will elect him. Ezekiel Wright of Myrtle Creek, is a young man well qualified to exercise the office of sheriff, if the calamity of losing Brockaway should befall the county. A motion was made and carried that the chair appoint one from each pre cinct as a county cential committee, tp serve for the ensuing two years: J. J. Thornton, Mount Scott; W. K. Cold well, Coles valley; J. J. Baker, Camas valley; J. S. Beckley, Cala pooia; Henry Adams, Myrtle Creek; J. A Strange, Wilbur; Noah Cornutt. Riddle; E. H. Pinkston, Elkton; Hen ry Wade, Gardiner; D. B. Dickersen, Yoncalla; Simp. Beckley, Pass creek; William Waldo, Sottsburg; William Blackwood. Canvonville: J. M. Dillard. Lookrng Glass; J. Rd field, Cow creek; j J mes Jsyron, Xenmiie: J . . Jtamil ton, Deer creek, chairman. IN last week s irlamdealer appears an article from the mighty pen of the immortal Wm. Strange, charging that the "editor of the Ikdepexdext -ntra the campaign with a false stattment," and adds: "He says Mr. Rogers, the Republican nominee for the legislature, is a preacher, and makes the statement, tpo, in the face of positive knowledge that he is wrongly informed. Mr. litijrers is not a minister ana never was. lie is not oven a member or me w 1 . t ehnrch the Independent would have him preach for." In the foregoing statement the racy William, as usual, draws on his imagination for his facts. What the Independent did state was: "Of the legislative ticket just put in nomination by the Republican party, the great agricultural interests seem to have been ignored. There is but one farmer John Emmett, of Coles val ley, who has long since retired from active labor. There is Shupe, Man ning and Riddle, all merchants; Wil cox a teacher, and Rogers the preacher. ' Now if in calling Mr. Rogers the preacher we have made a mistake, we were led into the error by statements of mere responsible Republicans than the doughty William. Being aoxious to give to the voters the personel of the candidates who were soliciting their suffrages, and finding this man Rogers a comparative stranger in the county, wo inquired of prominent Republicans concerning him and were informed by a number of the shining lights of the party that he came from Jackson county and was a preacher. When this Strange thing of the Plaindealer states that we made this statement in the faco of positive knowledge that we were wrongly informed, he does so with out warrant of truth to sustain his charge. It is true that Mr. Strange told us that he was not the Ashland Rogers, but this was after the article in question was in type. Thinking our authentic friend might be telling the truth we made inquiry and were informed that the candidate was the Ashland Rogers and made the speech of welcome to the President Hayes party when it visited that city. If ho is net the same individual wo have in dicated let him deny. Bat why yes, why should our eotemperary be down on preachers Is there any truth in the rumblings of the presbytery Poor preachers! the astute editor of the Plaindealer deems the name preacher a disgrace. ; The Republican leaders are in the full tide of a family quarrel, end the gleaming of knives will be one of tho brilliant features of the Chicago Con vention in June.
