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

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

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.

professes to )rotcet all American i'idus:ries; it has
impoverished many to subsidize a few. It professes
the protection of Americin labor; it has depleted the
returns of American agriculture, an industry followed
by half our people. -'It professes the equality of al!
;non before the law. Attempting to fix the s atus of
colored citizens, the acts of i:s Cmigress were overset

its caught criminals are permitted to es:aie through
contrived delaj s or actual connivance in the iro-e-cution
. 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

We believe thnt the public lan-ls ourht, a? ar a?

that all unearned lands hiretif ire i:n.ir.ivi,lently

platform if 18-'C that "the liberal principles embo.'ied
by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, nd
Siinciioned in ihe Constitution, which makes ours the
land of liberty and the asylum of the oppressed of
every nation, have e' er bei'n cardinal principle in

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

. 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

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
