NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
FOR TEE8IDBKT:
G ROVER CLEVELAND,
Of New York.
Foa vice paEbiDEST :
'THOMAS A. HENDRICKS,
Of Indiana.
ELECTORS :
L. B. ISON, of Biker.
W. D. FENTON. of Yamhill.
A. C. JONES, of Douglas..
I: the nomination of Cleveland, of
New York, and Hendricks, of Indiana,
the National Democratic Convention
have presented to the people for their
fcuflrages a ticket ' which every true
patriot who holds country above party
can conscientiously indorse and support
with their votes. G rover Cleveland, a
young man who has scarcely reached
the meridian of life, has by his energy,
industry, honesty and ability made for
;h:ruself a world-wide reputatiofa which
commands the admiration of the nation
For far-sighted policy and true states
manship he occupies a position second
to none in the American nation
Personally, he comes up to the old
Roman standard for aa executive ruler;
in him we fii.d a sound mind in a
strong, athletic frame. He is not
subject to sun stroke or paralytic lep
rosy which has characterized the
.plumed knight of Maine. He is fully
able to withstand the fatigues of the
campaign and gracefully administer the
affairs of th9 Government after the 4th
of next March. The name of Thomas
A. Hendricks, of Indiana, is a familiar
household word. He belongs not to
Indiana alone, but to the whole United
States. He has been in public life for
move than a quarter of a century, and
we challenge the opposition to place
their finger on a single page of his
p lblic record, or point to a single vote
or speech of his that has not been in
favor of the people. His record is an
open book, commensurate with the kis.
toi'y of our country and needs no com
mendation from us. They will be
tlecled. '
Press Comments.
The New York Times savs: The in
dependent Republican leaders are
much gratified ever the result of the
nomination. Gen. Barlow, chaiiman
of the New York conference, said last
1 JrrTir fliaf Ltaiio vvrnLl o nf. nncp tfilfpr
to put the organization again in work
ing shape. Secretary Allerton will
issue letters inviting members of the
Massachusetts, Connecticut and New
Jersey auxiliaries to a meeting to be
.held here, probably within ten days, at
wliidb a circular will doubtless be au
thorized endorsing the Democratic
ticket. The scope of the movement,
may be widened to take in other forms
of dissatisfied persons than the primary
moving cause, but this is e matter to
be arianged later on. Central head
quarters will doubtless be established
here. State committees will supervise
the local work.
The Philadelphia Times' leader this
morning (July 12) is a lengthy dispatch
firm Col. MtC'ure, at Chicago, headed
"The Revolution." He says: "The
convention was the most thoroughly
deliberative convention that lias nic
fcince the organization of tho present
'parties, with the single exception of the
Lincoln convention in this city, nearly
one-fou nh of a century ngo, and it ba
inaugurated a revolution, as that did.
Its lesults involve a sweeping political
revolution, not merely the transfer of
power from one political party to the
other, but a revolution by the over
throw of the worst methods and pur
poses of both parties, and the triumph
cf the best inspirations of every po
litical fa;th. The conflict wLl be one
of the mosf v'ioktt and exhaustive of
our political history. The Republicans
have tbeu- ablest leader. Cleveland
will lose thousands of Democratic votes,
jbut mere than 100,000 men of Repub
lican faith in doubtful Stages wil J
espouce his cause, and press resolutely
to a successful revolution. Only some
monumental Democratic folly can hin
der the success of Gov. Cleveland."
Tammanites to Support Glevelaad-
Washington, July 13. A friend of
John Kelly, who was interviewed this
'morning, said: "Tammany hall is com
ing round all right. It fought Cleve
land most bitterly, but ' it is Demo
cratic to the core, and it would accord
ingly support the ticket. Hendricks'
nomination cannot fail to afford Tam-
ti, -?ii
many nnicu icouic j. ho uvuti nm
win in Near York Stale with 40,000
votes to spare."
The te-m "varsity," says & London
journal is not used in England now by
any university men.
Each lunapy commissioner in Eng
laud has about 70,000 lunatics to in
spect and look after.
Hendricks' Speech.
j
Indianapolis, July 13. At the
ratification meeting last night Mr
Hendricks continued as follows:
The question is, fellow-citizens, will
you support the ticket just nominated ?
Cheers and cries of "We will !" And
in asking that question I want to ask
ycu another: De you not, all of you,
Democrats and Republicans, believe
that the affairs of the Government have
been long enough in the bands of cne
set of men ? Cries cf "We do !" And
do you not believe that we have
reached a period where there ought to
be a change ? Cries of "We do, and
we will have it !" I do not ask that
all shall be turned out; that is not the
i
idea, j If a man has dene his duty well
and faithfully; if he has not used the
powers of his office to disturb the
rights of the people; if he has not fur
nished money to corrupt elections; if he
has simply confined himself to the
duties of his office, I am not clamoring
for his official blood; but, my fellow
citizens, of the 120,000 men that now
fill official positions in the country, we
have no right to suppose from what
has taken place, that they are all hon
est Cheers and laughter; and the
only way that we can do row is to
make a change. A month ago every
body supposed that all the employes in
the bureau of medicine and surgery
were honest, and now, at the very fiist
examination, it turns out that they are
not. But what is the remedy t Put
them out, and put honest men in.
Cheers and cries of "That's it !"j We
cannot do that if we leave the same
President and heads of departments
and heids of bureaus in. I have every
faith that this ticket will be elected
Cries of "So have I." I think I know
something of Indiana. Great cheers
and laughter. We will probably stand
here together, won't we? Cries of
"Yo bet !" And this banner of lib
erty, of right, of justica, and of fair
government, that has been placed in
the hands of Cleveland and Hendricks,
fhall bj carried and placed in glorious
triumph on the top of the national
capitol in November next. Great
cheering and cries of "We will put it
there." Shall this be the people's
banner? Cries of "It is." You have
no interest except in good government
and I t'jink I have none I have lived
among you a long time; I have tried to
secure your confidence and preserve it
Cries of "You have it, too." And all
I ask of you is your support, not fo1'
myself, but for yourselves and for your
children, and all the people that are in
terested in good government. Cheers
and cries of "Go on." Now, I have
spoken longer than I lntendci. Cries
of "Go on," and "We are not tired of
you." I know wlien pny of my Re
publican friends, who are intending to
stand by their party still longer, shall
see his numerous crowd here to-night
they will think the doom of fate Jias
come at last. Cheeis and laugliter.J
Why, I happened up the street a few
weeks ago. It was just after Blaine
and Logan were nominated, and I saw
a little gathering of very honest and
honorable people behaving themselves
exceedingly well and very quietly, and
General Harrison was delivering to
them a speech about the nomination
made at Chicago loud laughter ; and
really, if you were to bring the crowd
heie and drop it light down amongst
you, you would not notice it at all.
Great che rs and laughter. What
does it mean ? It seems that the people
intend to have reform cheers; and
that is the watchword that is written
upon every Demociatic banner. It
was written upon the Democratic ban
ner eight years ago cheers, but reform
was defeated by defeating the right of
the people to elect their own ruler,
Cheers. And what is the consequence?
There has been no reduction of expen
ditures; although the war is all the
while, furthsr and further away from
us, still the Republican party makes
rio "'reduction of "public expenditure
Shall we have it ? Shall we have cheap
government? Shall we have lower
taxes ? They tell us that the govern
ment can b9 well carried on for $100,.
000,000 less than is now collected from
the public. If Cleveland shall come
into the Presidential office I believe he
will cut expenditures down to the last
dollar that will support the government,
economically administered cheers; and
then, when he does that, he will hive
accomplished what Gen. Jackson said
was the duty of any government. A
government has not the right to collect
a dollar from the people except what is
necessary to meet the public service.
Cheers and cries of "That's right."
What a 1 government needs she has a
right to come to you, er to me, or to
all of us, and make us pay for it; bat
when she gets all that she needs for an
f ...
economical administration, she has not
the right to take another sixpence out
of he public; and that is all we ask;
when the ticket shall wave in triumph
thai idea will be established in this
country. Cheers.
I I thank you very mucn for tho at
tention vou have given me.. 1 ask yo
simply as a citizen interested in all that
interests all of us, that you will give
your attention to this campaign and
never cease yeur efforts until your
Democratic banner, with Democratic
principles of reform and cheap gov
ernment is found waving in all the skies
above your heads. Cheers.
At tfce close of Hendricks' speech,
ex-Senator McDonald jwas introduced
and spoke briefly, being followed by D
S. Gooding and other local speakers,
and the meeting adjourned.
Andrew Jackson on the Tariff-
From his farewell address.
"There is, perhaps, no one of the
powers conferred on the General Gov
ernment so liable to abuse as the tax
ing power. The productive and con
venient sources of revenue were neces
sary to it that it might be able to
perform the important duties imposed
upon it; and the taxes which it lays
upon commerce, being concealed from
the real payer in the price of the ar
ticle, they do not so readily attract the
attention of the people as smaller sums
demanded from them directly by the
tax gatherer.
"But the tax iivpoed upon goods en
hances by so much the price of the
commodity to the consumer. And as
many of those duties are imposed on
articles of necessity which are daily
used by the great body of the people,
the money raised by these imposts is
drawn from their pockets.
"Congress has no right under the
constitution to take money from the
people unless it is required to execute
some cne of the speciGc powers intrust
ed to the Government; and if they
raise more than is necessary it is an
abuse of the power of taxation, and un
just and oppressive.
"It may indeed happen that the reve
nue will sometimes exceed the amount
anticipated when the taxes were laid;
and in such a casa it is unquestionably
the duty of the Government to reduce
them, for no circumstance can justify
it in assuming a power not given to it
by the constitution, or in taking away
the money of the people when it is not
needed for the legitimate wants of the
Government."
How the Uomiiiations Were Eecei'ed in
Boseburg.
The nomination of Cleveland and
Hendricks was received at this place
with warmest enthusiasm by Democrats
and independent Republicans, and by
the Blaine managers with gloom and
forebodings. The Saturday night after
the nomination one hundred salutes
were fired and a grand ratification
meeting, held at the court house. The
meeting was called to order by J. W.
Hamilton, chairman of the Democratic
County Central Committee, and
speeches made by Messrs. Jones, Owens,
Lane, Ball and Floed. The meeting
was the largest and most enthusiastic
political gathering that has Iwsen held
here for many years. A feeling of
general rejoicing pervades the entire
community, and a hops that Republi-.
can misrule that has imposed such
burdens upon the people is soon to be
done away with, and that the nation is
about to enter upon a new era of
reformation in economy and commer
cial prosperity.
Notice to Farmers. We caution
the public against purchasing trees from
parties pretending to represent Oakland
Nurseries. We are credibly informed
that one R. L. Freeman, from San
Jose, Cal., has in several cases, to
parties whom we sold last year, pre
tended to represent Oakland Nnrseriest
which he is not authorized to do. We
havs only two agents in Southern Ore
gon, Messrs. O. II. Hull and J. P.
Schafer, who have certificates of agency
signed by us and acknowledged before
a notary public. We guarantee all our
trees free from insects and that most
dreaded pest the "San Jose Scale Bug."

"Podge, you're a fool!" yelled the
good lady, threateningly.
"Yes, dear, I suppose so," replied the
poor fellow, trying to smile, "but I wan
net always crazy."
"You've been crazy ever since I
knew you," she howled.
"Was I off my base when you mar
ried me?"
"I think you most assuredly was."
"Yes, yes," mused Podgp, thought
fully, "it' a self-evident fact that I
was crazy, or you never would have
got me."
