The future
It is due to candor to say that we
have been much surprised by the result
of our local election. That the De
piocracy in this county has been dis
comGtted is not the fault of many Re
publicans. There was a gracious aa
generous feeling upon their part and a
good wish that a portion of our ticket
should be elected. But, and remember
the value of the word bat, there fywre
.a goodly no, badly number of Dem
ocrats that were treacherous and very
unwise, that voted the principal part
of the Republican ticket, and why?
re do not know. They may enjoy a
lpUt CUIlSCltilurc, U'Jl VJ ici-i j'wn;kii
liberty to doubt it. Tliey have delib
erately done a grievou3 wrong, for
which they should be allowed ample
lima to repent, for instance, from now
on until the crack of doom. AVc can
keep in store of memory the names of
many Democrats who betrayed their
party really they have no principles
and therefore no party, and it is a mis
nomer to call them Democrats, never
theless it is quite proper to record their
names for future uses and profound
execration. It is said that the mills of
the gods grind slow, but grind execcd-
i
ing fiue. Let the traitors put up them
adves for office and at the polls they
will find some exceeding tine grinding.
Justice moves with a leaden foot, but
strikes with a a iron hand.
i'raudulent Tickets-
E. (1. ITursh of the riaindealer,
printed and extensively circulated and
had posted throughout the county the
morning of the election, a circular
warning the people against fraudulent
tickets, which he signed officially as
chairman Of the Republican county
contra! committee. On the day of
the election a ticket with the Republi
can senators and representatives and
t ie Democratic county t;cket printud
upon it, was extensively circulated at
the various voting places throughout
ths county and to some considerable
e'Uent voted, as ttie ballots raturnevl
will show. This is the only fraud in
the circulation of tickets that we know
of. Now, Mr. Harsh, chairman of the
Republican county central committee,
pleuse stand up and tell the good peo
ple of this county whether those tick
ets were or were not printed in your
office' with vour knowledge r.nd full
consent, and whether the circular you
1im posted was not intended to throw
ti e odium of your action on the Dem
ocratic candidates whose names were
on this ' ticket, as an electioneering
dodg'd Was not this ticket prin:ed by
Sou at the instigation of a prominent
Republican politician, with the two
fold object of getting these tickets
voted, in order to save the Republican
represantatives and to be used as an
electioneering dodge against Demo
cratic candidates and was not this fact
known to yen at the time you had the
circulars printed! Please come out and
tell the people the truth about this af
. fair and if any Democrats were mixed
up with you in this transaction the
people want to know it.
The New York Star charges the Re
publican Legislature of that State,
which has iust adjourned, with ineffi
ciency, unscrupulousneso and corrup
tion, and the worst of it is, it proves it,
fn a long evolveraent of facts. The sig
nificant, as well as painful feature of
, the case, which sezms to have no re
deeming conditions is, as the Star
states itj the'rciuarkable and rare unan
imity of the leading, newspapers of the
State, representing all shades of prac
tical opinion in their estimates and
nearly enthe agreement regarding the
late Legislature of the State of New

Obscurity in Art.
Obscurity, which is merely an affec
tation in art, is often regarded as a
quality of high art in painting and po
etry. A paragraphist thus ridicules
the falso'conception:
' "What do you call your last picture!"
"Sunset.1"
"But where is the sun?"
"Set, of course."
"Certainly, ' but there is no warm
light in the skv."
! "No, it is a dull, cloudy evening."
"But there is absolutely nothing to
.... -
show that it is evening any more than
' Morning.
- "How stupid of you! Don't you see
those chickens near that tree Well,
the rooster is not crowing, is
That shows it is not morning."

Cincinnati has six miles of rum
holes. New York has seventeen, and
London seventy-three almost a hun
dred miles in three cities. And what
a road to travel! Flooded by scalding
tears, lined with broken hearts !
The Election
The election is over and we are
forced to furl our banner. We were
beaten in j this county by a system of
bribery, fraud and corruption that
would shame the celebrities of Five
Points. The federal rin, the railroad
ring and whisky ring combined to de
feat our legislative ticket in this coun
ty, andf- persistent effort and un-
sijnmiou3 use or money in uuvuig up
and importing loose characters into
j this county to vote the Republican
ticket, they have accomplished their
aim. ;
We have it from the best authority
that young men in the employ of the
railroad company, who are known to
be Democrats, were approached by
their superiors with a request to vote
for the Republican representatives and
w hen they declined to do so weie, by
orders issued directly from the railroad
office, ordered upon other than their
regular trains, so that they were pre
vented from voting in this county, and
others of their employees who were
willing to do their master's bidding,
were changed upon the trains these
young men were taken from and al
lowed to remain m this county, to help
defeat the Democratic candidates for
senators and representatives. This
unusual interest on the part of this gi
gantic monopoly was not in conse
quence cf the Republican convention
tabling the resolution to regulate
freights and fares. The company
knew their men, and as one of their
agents expressed it to us, it was cheaj)
er for them to defeat Mr. Owens than
a freight and fate bill, if he should be
elected. By the defeat of the legisla- J
tive ticket in this count', the agricul
tural interests of this part of Oregon
will be left to the mercv of this soul
less corporation. The rates for trans
porting their produce to market will
be subject to change, at the caprice of
the company, or whenever the condi
tion of the crops and market afford
them a chance for speculation.
The Republican papers have prom
ised that the Republican candidutes
who have just been elected will give
the farmers the relief which they have
asked for and on the faith of such prom
ises have no doubt secured some votes
in their behalf. Tho parties them
selves have refrained from making such
promises and can, with propriety, ssy
that they are not responsible for iheir
organs' j utteranees. "What promises
they have given to the railroad com
pany for the support they received at
the polls, the farmer will never know
and can only judge from their failure
to act on this most important subject.
Both Mr. Shupe and Mr. Ernmett
have been non-committal on this ques
tion, and farmers who voted for them
are interested in leasonable rates for
transportation, cannot claim that they
have been deceived by these gentlemen,
even though their position should pre
vent legislation on this question for
the next four years.
Cloud Eurts in the East.
A special dispatch to the Standard
from Denver, June 1st sajs: A cattle
round-up camp on Frenchman creek,
near the Nebraska and Colorado line,
was destroyed Vy flood Thursday
Eleven cow boys belonging to the Col
orado and Nebraska outfits were
drowned. Tlie flood was caused by a
cloud-burst, which occurred in a small
Flathead and Cheyenne Indian trail
canyon, the water coming with such
force that it swept everything in its
path. Men, horses, wagons and camp
ing outfits, all weie carried down the
stream Svith such force that but few
escaped. The names cf the missing are
Lon Wetberbee, J. Lindsey, Robert
Roddy,: Robert Fowler, Patrick Lynch,
John Smith, L. Netherton, William
Ferguson, William J. Pclton and C.
Hall. The bodies of the last four have
been recovered.
A cloud burst near Yisalia, Califor
nia, on the 1st fell with such violence
as to sweep away the dwelling of Peter
Stewart and all the inmates, consisting
of Tr. Stewart, his wife, mother and
two children and R. Weisner. The
bodies of Stewart, his mother undjone
child were recovered the same day.
They were frightfully mangled and
their clothes were torn in shred?.
Weisner was the only one to escape
and he was injured beyond hope of re
covery. He says when he heard the
roar cf the flood he grasped, one of the
children in hopes of saving it. As
they weie being swept down in the tor
rent of waters he caught hold of a lem
on treee, thinking he could hold on un
til the torrent had expended its fury,
but the force of water was too great,
and washed the child from his arm.
Active search is being made for Mrs.
Stewart and the other child. The
house was washed to atoms.
Information is received from Shack
elf ord county, Texas, that on Friday
night lsBt a huge water spout fell, cov
ering several hundred acres of land, and
doing serious damage. One ranchman
lost 8G0 sheep out of a flock. On the
same day a waterspout fell near Cisco,
at the head of Battle creek and caused
ths creek to overflow, in a few minutes
covering the bottom lands, drowning
some cattle and washing everything
before it. Several farms were ruined
but no lives were lost.
The Chicago Convention.
The National Republican Committee
met at Chicago on Monday the 2nd
inst. and selected Powell Clayton of
Arkansas for temporary chairmaa of
the convention.
The convention met on Tuesday.
Prayer was offered by Dr. Frank Bris
tol of Chicago. The call for the con
vention was read by Col. J. A. Martin,
Hecretary of the committee. Chairman
Sabine, on behalf of the National com
mittee called the convention to older
and proposed the name of Hon. Powell
Clayton of Arkansas for temporary
chairman. II. C. Lodge of Massachu
setts proposed the name of John Linch,
a colored delegate fiom Mississippi for
temporary chairman. A warm debate
ensued as to the right of the conven
tion to depart from the established
usage of accepting the nominee of the
committee as temporary chairman.
During the debate. Winston of North
Carolina said: "That the action of the
National committee had no more force
than a mere recommendation and with
all courtesy as to the committoe would
say that he preferred soino one else.
He honored Mr. Clayton for having
served under the national flag, but
there were 8,000,000 colored men in
the country who deserved recognition
at the hands of the convention. Co-
!a and Danville appealed to the na
tion on their behalf and would not ap
paal in vain.
At the close of the debate a vote was
taken which resulted in Linch receiving
432 votes and Clayton 383. Chairman
Sabine then introduced Linch to the
convention as its temporary chairman.
Lynch in taking the chair made a
speech pi omising to support the nomi
nees of the convention, whoever thv
might be.
SECOND DAY'S SESSION.
Hon. George C Williams of Indi
ana, chairman of the committee on per
manent organization, reported that the
committee had selected Gen. John
Henderson of Missouri, for permanent
chairman, and would request the secre
tary to read tho list of vice presidents
and secretaries. Charles W. Cliabeo of
Michigan, was selected as principal sec
retary. The report was agreed to. The
chair appointed Galusha A. Grow of
Pennsylvania, George F. Hoar of Mas
sachusetts, and George B. Williams of
Indiana, a committee to conduct the
permanent chairman to the platform
Gen. Henderson was received with
cheers. He made quite a lengthy speech
A resolution pledging the dwlegates
to support the candidates, whoever they
might be, was voted down.
By the election of John Linch the
colored delegate from Mississippi tem
porary chairman of the Republican
convention over Powell Clayton of Ai
kansas, the party leaders plainly indi
cate the policy of their campaign to raise
the bloody shirt and cry of Ku KIux
in order to cover up and conceal the !
shortcomings of the administration,
and the villainy of its financial policy.
The following names were placed in
nomination for president f
Gen. Ilawlev, John A. Loiran,
James G. Blaine, and Chester A. Ar
thur. Vefy Latest. The probabilities are
that Blaine was nominated on the tth
ballot. ' 1
Ve would like if persons would be
kind enough to give us a rest. There
is no sense in this gabble about fraud
and corruption in election, baying, sell
lng and stealing unless the parties thus
complaining produce some testimony.
Grave wrong has seme imes been done
by the idle talk of idle men. People
unfortunately 'are willing and prone to
believe evervlhing that is bad. Evil
to him who thinks evil ought to be en
forced with pains and penalties. It
should be kept in memory that one of
the editorial staff of this paper has in
advance of the event volunteered to
piosecute any man who directly or in
any wise purchases or sells a vote.
Ttis right of suffrage is greater than
any oilier we may have. It is to be
used for the conservation of the inter
ests of futurity. Therefore he who
aggresses upon this ' grand piinciple
should be punished and that j most se
verely. Therefore we say again, once
and for all, cease talking, bring in your
affidavits confirmatory of general accu
sations. There are plenty of lawyers
to prosecutp. Business is business. If
any man has bought a vote and if any
porson contemptible, miserable wretch,
dog," skunk, but we will not dignify
him sufficient to call him a devil, for
he is worso has sold his vote, then we
say the penitentiary is too good for him,
but as a matter of convenience there is
adequate room. We hae on hand
only a dozen affidavits. The more the
met rier.
