DEMOCRATIC TLATFORM.
The Demtviracy of the State of Ora -on, in cou ucij
Assembled declare:
Fir.it- -That we favor the forfeiture of all unearned
railroad and wajon road grants and the opening of
the land to settlement and occupancy by those enti
tled to the benefits of the various land lawg of the
United Suto.
Scc-ond That we are in favor of the passage by
congress of laws made in the interest of the people'
regulating inter-St;tte commerce, and also State laws,
con roiling and regulating fares and freiirhts upon all
transportation lines, and preventing discrimination J
jn favor of or JVgu'uiit persons or places. j
Third That we look with alarm upon the unau
thorized assumption of power and jurisdiction of
United States courts in interfering1 with oilioui'3 col
lecting the revenue of the State of Oregon.
Fourth That we are in favor of the mortgage tax
law, and believe the principle of taxation enunciated
therein is correct, and ought to be sustained.
Fifth That ? favor the passage of such laws in
relation to the assessment and collection of taxes as
will make the assessment and taxation cf property
equal and uniform throughout the State, and demand
the strict 'cnf.iicetnent 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 e" u'"i:ig of any tariff law for any other our
pose, s axatiou of one class of people for th
benefit class of people, is as entirely un.
war ran constitution as it is repugnant to
Juntico a the frenernl weifare, and we
tnerefore favor a tariff for revenue, limited to U13 ne
cessities of government economically administered,
and a gradual hut persistent reduction of the exist
ing protective duties.
Seventh That the Improvement our coast bar.
bors, the Columbia river and its tributaries, is of
vital impoitanee to the commerce of tho whole State
of Oregon, and we earnestly ask that an adequate ap
propriation be made by our present congress to begin
tiie work of the Columbia river bar improvements,
already too long neirlccted. Wo also ask such appro
priation for the Cascade locks as will insure their
eedy completion; also, we ak of our rcpresenta
tlvos in congress a united effort to secure a libera)
appropriation for the improvement and continuation
of the work of improving the harbors of Yaquina
bay, Coos bay and the Coquifle river.
Eighth That we favor the abolition of the prison
contract system, and the prescut coolie trade con
ducted on this coat, as degrading to the wage-workers
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 favor the passage of a registry law.
Tenth That we are in fauor of more efficient me
chanics' lien laws.
Umpaign Misrepresentation-
The correspondent to the Oregonian
from this place, whose communication
was published in the issue of the 27th,
is really quite facetious. Vo admit
that I fon. L. F. Lane was desirous of
peeing Hon. John Myers upon his out
going trip to Ashland and therefore
met him at the depot. Few Democrats
in Rosljurg knew that he was on the
train that evening, and those that did
had too high a sense of propriety to in
trude upon a private interview. Find
ing the gaping crowd incorrigible and
wishing an introduction, he made the
best of the situation and presented
many of our citizens, mainly Republi
cans, to Mr, Myers. He met tem cor
dially and they all seemed to be well
pleased with the grasp of hi3 open,
honest hand.
As to Mr. Myers' return all know
that the train arrives at a very early
hour in the morning, Then very few
were out of bed .none except tliose
who are up to mischief or thoy drink,
To which class this correspondent be
longs we will pot venture to suggest.
M Myers did not expect, nor did he
itesire an elaborate reception at that
hour, but on the contiary is willing for
the reception on the 2d day of June
.next.
Mr. Myers met a fine reception at
the court house, of the good and intel
ligent people, who enjoyed his splendid
speech. He was introduced to the au
dience by Mr. Lane, but not with a su
pwabundance of language and taffy, or
due display of arrogance, as alleged.
His introductory was in theso words;
'Ladies nnd gentlemen: I have en
joyed the distinguished honor of repre
senting yon in the halls of congress. I
did so with zeal and earnestness of pur
pose. The Democratic candidate at
this time, will equal myN zeal and far
exceed my ability. I now have the
Jtonor and privilege to introduce to you
gur candidate, who, I sincerely hope,
may, by the suffrages of hornet voters,
be known as Hon. John Myers, our
next congressman" And that is all
there is of this matter, but what thia
corresjondent hoped to accomplish by
his silly prevarications we wish not to
divine.
Freights and Fares. Hon. G. W.
IUddleTlepublican candidate for ths
legislature, is circulating what purports
to have been a petition from citizens of
Douglas county to tle legislature four
years ago, remonstrating against the
regulation of railroad fares and freights
by the J? tate. He claims that James
D. Burnett and V. F. Owens signed
said petition. At that time Douglas
county did not complain of the freight
age system, but we deny that James D
Burnett or W. F. Owens signed such
petition. Whatever lias been done
heretofore is at tlu3 time set aside and
we pledge the solid Democratic legisla
tive ticket to regulate fares and freights
and don't you forget it. It is projer to
say right here that the names of nearly
every candidate on the Republican
ticket appears to have signed the same,
whether forced or aot we know not.
This occurred four years ago and it
seems nearly a thousand people signed
it. Away with such trash.
A Tinal Word-
In view of the fact that bo far as
this immediate canvass is concerned
this journal closed its labors to-day.
In commenting upon the State candi
dates of the respective parties we have
endeavored to do justice to all, whilst
candid and advising to the people. As
between Hermann and Myers whilst
referring to the former it has been in
personal, friendly language; as to Mr,
Myers we may have gone further and
expressed I our admiration for his can
dor, impartiality as to the diversified
interests of the various portions ef our
young State, and his useful, genuine,
excellent common sense.
Of Mr. J1"! urn we have Only suggest
ed that in point of fitness he should not
have offered himself in comparison with
Gov. Thayer. The latter is the choice
of the lawyers of Oregon, almost uni
versally.
As between Hamilton and Lowery
Watson it is sufficient to say Hamilton
has been tried, tested and found effi
cient, just and qualified. The people
can and will honor him again and ben
efit themselves. As for his compete
tor, if wb cannot speak much good of
hira we will extend the charity of our
silence. !
The canvass for county officers has,
we understand, been the model of pro
priety. "We have spoken of all of them
in this tone. The Democracy selected
the abler mM, besides making a better
platform, in the interest of labor and
the producing classes. This has given
them power throughout the county and
insures success. We have heretofore
given a iust review of the claims re
spectively of Wright and Kimball.
The former has had large experience
and was esteemed for kindness and ac
commodation. Kimball has had two
yeara experience and we have heard of !
no special complaint.
Urockway has had much experience,
with entire satisfaction to the people
and his senior officers. In regard to
knowledge of the duties of his office he
has greatly the advantage of Gus Tay
lor and therefore can expect coBsidera
b.e support that if Taylor had the actu
al experience he might retain to him
self. Sufficient to say they are both
highly esteemed.
To go over the two tickets separately
is simply a reiteration of our former
expressions. We believe the entire
Democratic ticket ought to be elected
and it is the duty of the party and our
ninny independent friends to rally in
force next Mondav.
1 The Real light Em-
Now that the day of election will be
with us next Monday, the voters should
stop and think. The personnel cf the
Democratic ticket, State, district and
county, is good beyond comparison arid
should bo elected beyond a perad ven
ture and it enjoys fine prospects for a
complete victor?. In addition to th'e
excellent character of ths ticket the
Democracy have every advantage in
tho way of the platform. The lan
guage of both State and county conven
tions is plainly enunciated and sin
cerely promulgated. There is no at
tempt to disguise, nor is there evident
therein any design to oither encourage
or curry favor with renal, corrupt and
oppressive corporal ion p. The contrary
appears to bo the contemplation of the
Republicans. With Democrats the
people Nvell understand that they have
burned their boats and retreat is im
possible. They do not mean to go back
on their words and if they wanted to do
so it is' now too late. The hour for
prompt and decisive action has arrived
and if the Democratic soldiers do their
dnty as well as their officers have done,
we shall soon hear the bugle sound of
victory.
Vote the straight Democratic
ticket;
Hermann's Dilemma-
We have been asked by several par
ties interested in the premises if Mr.
Hermann should bo elected to congress
will he take an earnest and active inter
est inoehalf of developing the welfare
and future of southern Oregon? To
t'lis question we are not prepared to
answer yea or nay, but upon first blush
tho indications are there is no reason
why he should make any extraordinary
effort for Coos bay or Port Orford, or
any point in this locality outside a lim
ited portio.i of the Coquille. At Myr
tle Point Tie has a fine estate. He has
a store of geueral merchandise, with
immense stocks a magnificent hotel
and just below a valuable steam saw
mill, supplying excellent lumber to 8an
Francisco and an interest in eitherothe
bottom or in charter parties of two ves
sels plying between the Coquille and
San Francisco. In fact his situation
and all his surroundings thpreare baro
nial. To build up Coos bay and Port
Orford will be to develop dangerous ri.
vul3 and would go a 1 jng way to, impaiif
the prevailing harmony and comfort of
his situation. That he should favor
railroads in that direction is equally
subject for critical consideration. He
knows that if a road is to be built its
western terminus would be the deep
waters of the Pacific and his property
become a wayside station. If. Mr.
Hermann has sense enough to go to
congress he has also too much sense to
sacrifice the benefits of his prudent
and careful industry for the benefit of
willing rivals. Mankind i3 unco we:ik
and the saying is also true, "'11 take
care of myself and 'et old Kick take
I care of the rest." There is nothing in
Hermann that would justify us in be
lieving he would prove an exception.
Watch for Fraud-
It is onlv fair that it should be known
to the corrupt and cunning that the
better elements of both parties antago
nize the idea of bnying and selling con
victions as to our governmental affairs,
either as against the felon purchaser or
the still more felon seller. There will
be men yes, men on hand next Mon
day to watch the peculiar influence of
monev as against an honorablv and
honestly previous formed judgment.
These men will be composed of gentle
men of both parties and will bo observ
able at every polling place in the coun
tv. Then to the cunning and adroit,
who contemplate making a stake out of
the elective franchise, be on yourguaid.
It is better far that the fraudulent
vo'er than the square, fair American
citizen should bs disfranchised. Dis
franchisement is a part of the punish
ment for a fraud-voter. The days of
Tilden arc too ftesh iu memory to sug
gest aught else.
Sad, Ent True.
The following we are precisely adr
vised did occur, as published in the
Standard ef May 27th;
When G rover returned from Wash
ington to fix up the electoral vote when
Tilden was elected president of the
United States, the Democrats gave him
a reception at Champagne's hotel in
Roseburg. Binger was desirous to de
liver the reception speech, and accord
ingly spent the day in manufuctuiing
one of his spread-eagle speeches, nd
was on hind to deliver tho same, he
being very anyious to do so; but
Mosher got drunk and spoiled the fu:?f
by declaring that no d d Republican
should make the speech. Mosher
shoved Binger out of the way and com
menced tho speech himself, but broke
down. Consequently Grower lia.i to
introduce himself to the people of Rose
burg. Query: If Mosher had not got
inebriated would Binger be a candidate
for congress now Will some Repub
lican answer this for the benefit of the
people of Douglas county R.
We know not these facts, but the
official record will attest that our rep
resentative to the 44 th congress a
Democrat presented a resolution to
the effect that the name of J. V.
Watts be not counted, upon the ground
that he was not elected according to
the constitution of the United States.
Ji the law means anything this -wis
correct. A tie would have been' made
and Tilden pronounced president. But
then fraud was law. Binger, ;saw the
law then, but alas it will take,7 since his
new-born Republican zeal, nine days
after election to open his eyes to the
fact that pftople will forever hate fraud,
however presented. But we are a his
torian, not a Republican fraud.
Hose Company Drill. Foreman
Sanctuary called this company to drill
last Friday evening, after we had gone
into type. The boys did well and we
heard many complimentary allusions ta
thera frcm the tax-payers present. The
hose stand a good pressure and hy
drants, reservoir and pies are getting
into a reliable condition. Regular
meeting next Friday evening, at which
time will be held an election of com
pany officers for the ensuing year.
An ordinance of the city defining a system
of fire siguala will be published next week.
Good Speech.
The speech delivered in the court
house by Hon. John, Myers, Democratic
candidate for congress, was a grat suc
cess. It pleased nS bevond expectation
and left a favorable impression upon
the minds"bfhis hearers. Wo have
Ions known that he is a man of a sup3
rior order of ability, but we now real
ize tint he possesses in a marked de
gree elements of genuine statesman
ship. Mr. Hermann is a good, fluent
talker, but in matters of candor and
breadth of thought he is noc the peer at
this time of his competitor.' It is most
evident that Myers is a direct friend of
the farming, producing and laboring
classes generally and they will grate
fully indicate, their appreciation next
Monday at the polls. It i3 impossible
at this time to give a resume of his
speech. It is sufficient to say it made
votes and deserved to do so. We shal
work and await with confidence a fa
vorable result of the election,
Obey. The Cxvod book says "Make
yonr calling' and election sure." . The
words used in connection with a polit
ical election may sound blasphemous
but in truth they are not Every right
came from a superior power that over
rules our dedtiny. Some of these
rights, by the law ef instinct and rea
son, were surrendered one; into each
other, to the end that the stronger
should not oppress the weaker. This
was in consonance with the grand in
tendment. Whilst, perhaps, we can
not complain of grievous encroachment
upon this law in Oregon, wo can ob
serve direct violations in other portions
of our common country. Swindle af
ter swindle, robbery after robbery,
chicanery, fraudulent failures, such as
Villard's, monopoly oppression, deceit,
such as Grant has developed, and other
wrongs confound us. We have enough
of them hers, but we may; have more.
"Coming events cast their shadows be
fore." The tim may come when we
will realize that God's law has been dis
regarded and '.hat wo ! are by si-
i
lence, ignorance or indifference, parties
to tl
ic crime.
Unl
ess some change we
will ratify this wrong and the people
will become serfs and vassals to ir di
etary power. Therefore we say to ev
ery voter within our reach be cautious,
be wise, vote right and ! "make your
calling and election sure.";
What's the Matter?
The American Register is a sound
Democratic journal, published in Wash
ington Citr. Tt lias many subscribers
here, who highly appreciate its piinci
ples and abilitv. But for the hist six
weeks. we have not received a number.
What does this mean Has tho Regis
ter gone under, or does it intend to
cheat us, or is there tiomething rotten
in Denmark, or in the forwarding de
partment of the Washington postoffice
We strongly suspect it is the latter.
Now then, Mr. Culprit, stiind up and
recite your lesson.
