POR VICE PRESIESJT : THOMAS A.TllENDRICKS, r- , - . . Of. Indiana. K LECTORS : L. B. ISON, of B iker. W. D. FENTON, of Yamhill. A. C. JONES, of Douglas. Two Noted Oranis- We do not like tc charge that the candidates of the Republican party are cranks; but there is something peculiar iihout each of these individuals as well us th;r candidacy. Levari has for many years manifested a mania for wearing .his hair long, which he does up with pins like vi woman, and whenever ha appears on the stage to make a speech !1 its it cut to full length, and by jestic Jhihtion, look and action tries to imitats t'ie noble red man in oratory, w hose 'blood he used to boast courses through liis reina; Blaine was always peculiar and when quite a small boy used to boast oi his prodigious strength which he claimed to inherit from his grandfather who .traced his source to the Fingals, a jnyikical race of giants supposed once ito have . inhabited the Emerald iVei . (no doubt ha was then laying his plan to catch - the Irish vote.) So peculiar .was he- that Syhen attending school in "Washington, Pennsylvania, he earned "for-, himself the ? sobriquet of Nosy tBlainpamL was thet.att,o all manner j jojcea from the fitter boys. ... . These. two rthies are and their candidacy are distinguished for having. . advocated the insane theory of collect ing a large revenue and jdistri.buting i to the -several States, They are both , -j ronounced woman suffragists and as insane upon this issue as - Mammy Duniway, with far les3 method in their anadness t'aan she manifests in trying to force this agitation on the people of ;Oregorfc- Should Blaine succeed to the tpresklen.cy .there vwill be four years more agitation of this question not alone in Oregon but ali over the United States, wherever enough cranks can be got together to create a' f aror. No More Foolishness- Are we to have a campaign in Ore goh 1 Is the Democratic organizatio lead or demoralized in this State? AVill our Central Committee be called 'together, r are we to sit idly by and give the Republicans another walk cover? : For one we are tired of the everlasting nienqtor.y. of Oregon elec tions. For oae ; we know that the $tate could have teen, given to Han cock if there had been arty organization .any head to the partyj or any concen tration, of rjmr pose, The party is like ;an army 'without a general, it has been ia lip wed ta become a mob without any : ruling spirit. It is hopeless in the gloom of despair, it starts out expect ing defeat, !ooks forward to defeat, and Appears to e never so thoroughly hap. :py as when so overwhelmingly de feated. Let us call a halt ! Let us demand that Mr. Jeffreys call his com m it tee together. Let us -Remand the tne-organization or, tn party. . j-et us have speakers in the field, enthusiasm in the rtnka, strength -in the justice of our cause, confidence in the purity of xW . ca-ndidateSj and if success is not curs, we will at least have deserved it. Blaine's Foreign Policy- The time was when the American MHrine wi.s the pride and boast of our citizens, and the envy cf all other na tions. Our vessels were 'the staur.chest and swiftest on the high seas; ou" sea men the most intelligent and frfcillfiil on the ocean. There was not a city and Jiarbor iu tbe remotest part of the world whereicommerce was tiansacted that the stars and; --stripes did not float at the mast head secure from insult. Twenty years of Republican misrule found us without a navy or marine, our flag driven from the sea, onr commerce bro ken upland the products of our soil carried to market in-foreign vessels sail ing under foreign flags. The govern, men .was forcej- to purchase a foreign vessel to send for ithe-: remains of our arctic explorers who had perished in the frozen regions of the north, in con sequence of the inefficiency of our navy. This is but a forecast of Blaine's foreign policy that the voter ?s Called upon- to indorsp. . Have we not had enough bf .Republican inefficiency on this score? i New Yore, New" Jersey; Indian!?, Ohio, California and Nevada will lock well in the Cleveland column. Thtre's where you'll fiod them, too,; in Novem ber, rv . . . ... .. ! '"' Eeferm Demanded- Our government is honeycombed with fraud. Every department U per meated with corruption. There is net a ii.g!c bureau where the public busi ness is honestly transacted. Rings abound everywhere, fraud is universal, corruption unbounded. Thieves, plun deiers and embezzlers are our public servants. No longer does an $8,000,000 steal appall the people. The whiskey ring, the navy ring, the Credit Mobilier ring, the Indian rings and the thousand and one other rings have smoothed the way until ths people' looked with no surprise upon the unveiling of the star route ring with - its colossal thievery a)id farcical trial. Is the body politic corrupt? Is there then no balm in Oil" oadl Can tlieie be no refci m? Onlv one way gentle reader, vote for a change of men and pai ties. Turn the control of the general government over to the Democracy aud if thev do not do better, then tlie greac problem of self govern ment, of equal rights, of universal lib" erty, honest 'government and exac justice to all will not bo solved during this e-mturv. The Season's Receipts. Tha sta tistics of the year 1S83--t have been partially m:ulo up, and show a gratify ing increase in iieiiiiV all articles of produce received in Portland over the previous season. The total receipts of variojs articles since Aug 1, 1883, have been as follows: Two million eiht hundred and eihtv-eijrht thousand and fifty-two centals of w heat, 505,823 bar re's of ll'V.ir, 112,123 centals of oats, 3,328 centals of bailey, 43,981 centals of bran, -13,023 centals of millstuo", 21,S18 sacks of potatoes, 13,205 Wiles of hay, 9,173,191 pounds of wool, 1,475,325 pounds of hides, 30,290 boxes of fruit, 41,131 barrels of lime, 31,463 sacks of flax seed and 1,818,- 111 pounds of hops. The receipts of wheat, flour, wool end hops show a large increise over those of last sea son. Standard. The Riq ubUcan tauut tint the Democracy are ravenous for office, is in bad taste. Ther,s is but little greed exhibited by Democrats that is not quite well satiated, except the post ollices of the country, And the Democ racy has the best of themeal; twenty-five out of thirty-eight States rejoice in prosperous Democratic administrations, among which we found ijuvr York, Pennsylvania and Ohio; great com monwealths that require as much ex ecutive ability as does the Presidential oKee. Li the house of representatives the Democrats have a majority of 76. Taking all these things into consider ation, if tfcs appetite of the advocates of the principles' Madison, -Monroe aud Jackson can he'' called ravenous, what new term can possibly be invented - to represent 'Republican greed 1 : It i3 amusing to read our Republi can exchanges representing Blaine as a prohibitionist. Firstwe read that Blaine is a pronounced prohibitionist and a strong advocate of the Maine liquor law, and some go so far as to claim him as the real author of the bill. Others represent him as opposed to prohibition, and state that ho uses wine on his table on all public occa sions. Whatever may be Blaine 8 sentiments on this question, it is no open secret that John A. Logan is good judge of whisky. Elizabeth Gadv Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, and Father Duniway the noted women suffragists, ar all for 'Blaine and Logan. Bi.iine has always been an admirer of Susan; we do not know how Logan takes to Papa Duni vay and Elizabeth. Vero these worthies to take in St.?phen B. Eikins and Simon Caro, thjy might got up a mutual admiration society. Portsmouth, New--Hampshire, goes Democratic by a vcte cf 1003 to 431. The first time in years. The Cleveland boom is a regular cyclone. Put New Hampshire down solid also. Encouraging reports come from California regarding Democratic pros pects. The pecplo there know the curse of monopoly and intend to have a change. A vote for Cleveland is a vote for honest government. The people want a chance to look at 'the government book-keeping. - "By organization Oregon can and shall be redeemed;" should be the watch woid of the Democracy. Connecticut is certain for Cleve land and reform, sq say the leading journals. ' Lumber. I have on hand and offer for Bale 200,000 feet fencing latnbt-r and "5,000 ,' feet flooring and rustic of A I quality. Cash purchasers will find it to their, interest to get quotations before placing orders. Orders for all muds or' lumber solicited and prompt ly filled. Address . , II. A. Booth, - Yoo-jdla, Oregon, DSM0UMTI0 PLATF0SM. The Democratic party of the Union, through its j representadvei in National Convention assembled, J reejffuizesthatasthe nation growiolder new issue- are ; Dorn 01 time anu prorew, and old ituei peron, out the f uniamental priiioiplu of Dtfohjcracy, approve) by the united rolce of the people, re-naia, aui will ever remain, n the best a:nl only security for the con inuance otfiee trenuneut. The prparvation of peroaU rights, the equality ot all citizc-uj before the la-, the reervJ rlxhts of the state, and the supre macy of taa FederJ Uovcrorueat within the limits of the Coiijtitution will ever fjrm the true bads Of our liberties, and can never be surrendered without de stroying tUiU biJaac j of rights and powers which en ables a continent to be davelojed in peaee and 8ocl.il order to be maintained by inejua of looU self-govern-meut. But it Is indispensable, for the practical applica tion and enforcement of these fundamental prin ciple, that th? Oovernraent. bhoiiid not always be controlled by one pohti.rU party. A frequent change of administration is aa ue -esi- iry at tlu constant re currence to the popular will; otherwise, ibu.sc grow, and the Government, inateid of bzim carried on for the general welfare, becomes aa instrumentality foriui posiiiif heavy burdens on the many, who are governed f-ir the be:ie1t of thsf few who govern. Public ser vants thu: become arbitrary mler. This 13 now the conditio.! of the couutry. Hence a change is deniaiideJ. The Republican party, so far as principle is concerned, i a reminiscence; in practise, it is an organiza tion for enriching those who control its ma itbinery. Tuo frauds an.1 jobbery which Lara been brought to li.;ht in every dparinient f the Oovem munt are sutH ,-ient to have called for reform witliin the ie;)ubiica;i p vrty; yet those iu authority, made rtf'-'kle.M by the lo ig p s.3esjion of powur, h.ive eue cuiiibe.i to its conu;tin inflaence, and havrt p'aceJ in nomination a ticket against which the independent portion of the party are in open revolt. Tnereiore a chaye is demanded. Such a chinjfe was alike neces sity ii ISTci, but tbs v;!I of th3 people wis theu de feated by a fnui, vvhi.-h can neve.' be forottan nor c mdo:ieJ. d-i i:i lHso the chmje demanded by the people wis defeated by the lavish use of money, contributed by HasC;-upul.,m contractors and sh un; less j?ibbors, wiio iiai bargained for unlawful profits, or for hijfh otflce.

It professes to )rotcet all American i'idus:ries; it has impoverished many to subsidize a few.

H.nvcombed with corruption, outbreaking exposures no lunger shock its moral sense. Its hon est members, its indcpe lent journals, no longer main tain a successful contest for authority in its counsels or a veto upon bad nominatons. That chaug-s is nec essarily proved by an existing surplus of more than 100,000,000, which has yearly been collected from a suffering people. Unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation. We denonncc the Republican paity f or having failed to relieve the people from crushing war taxes which have paralyzed businers. crippled industry and de prived labor of employment and of ju it reward. The Democracy pledges itsalf to purify the admin istration from corruption, to restore econ omy, to revive respect for law and to re duce taxation to the lowest limitconsiste it with a due regird to the preservation of the faith of the nation, to its creditors and pensioners; knowing full well, hoa-ever, that lecislation affecting the occupations of the people should be cautious and conser vative in method, not in advance of public opinion, but rea'xinsive o its demands, the Demo cratic party is pledged to revise the tariff in a spirit of fairness to all interests; but iu making a reduction in taxes, it is not proposed to injure any domestic indus tries biit rather to promote their hesfthy ifrowth. From the foundation of this Government the taxes collected at the Custom -house have been t he chief source of Fe Jeral revenue1. Such they must continue- to b. Moreover, xaany iadtstries have come to re'.y upon legislation for a succcsolhl continuance, so that any change of law roust be at every step regardful of labor and capital thus involved. Tlie- process of reform must be subject in jis 'txeoutiuii to this plain dictate of justice All taxation shall be limited to the re quirements of an economical Government. The neaessarv reduction in taxation can and must be af fected without depriving American labor of the abil ty to compete suceesVfuily witija 'f dr.efyii labor, and without imtosin- lower rates of duty than will be ample to cover any ncreased cstof production which may exit in consequence of the higher raje of wage3 prevailing in this country.'4 SiiKJcicut revenue to pay all the expenses of the Federal C'oVernment ecbnyn) ieally admin's ered, including pensions, interest and principal of the public debt, can be got under our present system of taxation from Custom-house taxes on fewer imported articles, bearing the heaviest on articles of luxury and bearing lightest on' articles 'f necessity. We therefore denounce the abuses of the existing tariff and subject to proceeding limitation', we demand that Federal taxation shall be exclusively for public purpoao, and shill not exceed the needs of the government co-iomieally administered. The system of direct taxation, known as the "internal revenue," is a war lax, and so long as She law continues the money received thtrefroin should be sacrec.lv devoted to the relief of the eople from remaining burdens of the war, and be made a fund to defray the expense of the caro and comfort of worthy soldiers, disabled in the line of duty in the war 4 of the Republic, mid for tha, payment of such pensions as Consrres may from tim i to time grant to such soidiers-a like fund for the sailors having been already provided and any Bur plus should be paid into the treasury. We favor an American continental policv, ba;ed upon m..re intimate commercial and po'itica! relations with the fifteen sister Republics of Nrth, Central and South America, but entangling alliance with none. We believe in honest money the g M and silver coinage of the constitution an-1 acircuiating medium convertible into such money without loss. Asserting the equality of all men before the law we hold that it is tho'duty cf the Government, in icalings wit'i the people, to rnete out equal and exact justice to all citizens, of whatever nativity, race, col or or persuasion, religious or political. We bslieva in a f.V3 ball -'it a:il a fair count, snd .vo recall to ths memory of th; pe r.! the noble struggle of th? Democrats in the Forty -fifth a:id For-tv-sixth Congresses by wh'ch a reluctant UapubUca.1 opposition was compelled to assent to legislation muking everywhere illegal the presence of troops at the polis the conclusive p;o f that a Democratic advnini-itraMon will preserve liberty with order. The selection of Federal officers for the Territories sh j'ijd he restricted to citizens previously resident thereof. We oppose sumptuary laws, which vex the c:.tize;i3 and i.ifefere with individual liberty. We favor an honest civil .rvice ref orm in compen sation of all (J.iiu.d StTtei oiihes by fixed s -I irie. the .-(puratiin of church and a ate. and the diSu don of free education by c nnm m sc hools, so tint every child j-i fi ; ! ,n..y taught taa rights and duties of citizenship.

We believe thnt the public lan-ls ourht, a? ar a? rossible, to be kept as home-t? ds for actual settlers; that all unearned lands hiretif ire i:n.ir.ivi,lently granted to railroad corporations by the Republican arty should be restored to the puld'c domain, an 1 no more grants .shall be made to croratiQ.is. or be al !owe I to t dl into the ownersU.p of a:ien absan'.egi.

The Democratic - party irisists ha w tn duty of the -CoveiTuienJ in' "irofcct with equal fidelity ' and' vigilance ' the rights of its citizens, native or : naturalized, at home and abroad; and to the end that this protection' may" be assured, United States papers of naturalization issued by Courts of competent jurisdiction, must be respected by the executive and legislative depaitineuu of oi r own Government, and by til foreign power. It is an imperative dutv of this Government to elticleatly praejt all the rights of persons and ths propeity tf every American citizen in foreign latiis, and demand and enfor.-e fud ;reparatioii for aivy invviiion tue:tai.

Th: country has never had any well-defined and ee cu e-1 foreign policy save under Democratic adminis tration; that policy has ever been, in regard to for eign nations s long as they do no act detrimental to the interests of the country or hurtful to our citizens, to let jthem alone. That as the remit of this policy we recall the acquisition of .Lou isiana, Horida, - California and of the adjneent Mexican territory by purchase alone, and con trast these grand acquisitions of Democratic statesman ship w.th the purchase of Alaska the sole fruit of Kepublica adaiiuistratioa ot nearly a quarter of a century.. ,. . .. . . Tlie General Government' should., care for and im trove the Mississppi river and other great water ways oi the KUpnbilc," so as to secu:-e for the nterior wtate j easy au 1 cho ip transportation to tide-water. Cn ler a loug period of Democ attic rule and policy our merchant marine was fast overtaking, and on the point of outsjripping, that of Great Britain. Under 20 years of Republican rule and policy our commerce has been left to British bottoms and almost has the Ameri can flag-been . swept oS the high seas. Instead of the Republican party's British policy, we demand for the people of the United States an American policy. Under Democratic rule and policy our merchants and sailors flying thj stars and stripes in every port, suc cessfully searched out a market for the varied pro ducts of American industry. Under a quarter of a century of Republican rule and policy, .despite our manifest advantages over all other nation In high-paid labor, - favorable climates and tesaiing soils desp'.te the frceilom of trulo among all these United States, despite their population by the 'foremost races of men and an an nual iinmira Aon of the young, thrifty and adventur ous of all na;ions: despite our freedom here from in herited ba.-dens of lite and induitries in the old world monarchies, theircostly warnavies, their vast tax consuming turn-producing standing annies, despite 20 years of pc ice, that Republican rule and policy have managed to surrender to Great Britain, along with our commerce, the control of the markets oi the world. Instead of the Uepubiican party's British policy, we demand, in behalf of the American Democracy, an American pulicy; instead of the Republican party's discredited scheme aud false pretense of friendship to American labor, expiessed by imposing taxes, we de mand in behalf of the Doansracy, freedom for Amer icml ibjr, by re lacing taxes to the end thatthe-wj United State's may compete with unMn lered powers for primacy a-iung nationa in all the arts of peace and fruits of liberty. With profound regret we have been apprised by the veneribie statesman, through whose person w. s struck that blow at the vital principle of the republic ac quiescence in the will of th3 majority that he can not permit us again to place in his hands the leader ship of tH3 Democratic host, for the reason that the achievements of reform in the administration of the Vederal Government is an undertaking now too heavy for ii: i age and failing strength.
