The defense admits printing and publishing tke article" complained of in the issue of Ang, 8 1884, and denie3 that it was false in any particular thereof. It sets forth that James G Blaine whs married to Han lit Stan wood at Pittsburg on or about March 25, 1S51; that prior to that time, during the courtship, Blaine seducsd Miss Stanwood: that he refused to make reparation for the wiong done, fbt being afterwaids stiongly urged ,-iheveto, and violently threat?nad with chastisement and puxishraent therein for his said wrong-doing, and perchance repenting him of the evil, married her as stated; that in Jim following i child was born, known as Stan wood JJlaine, who lived two or three year? and wo.s ahvaya acknowledged by plai liff and wife as their soil.

The following statement was fur nVaed Thursday evening to the As- Bociated Fre:s correspondent at this ' point by Mr. Shoemaker : "To the public : Biased reports have been sent from Tndianfinoliq hv rartnin ' pi-ess correspondents that indicate that - defendant in the libel suit brought by j Mr. Blaine, will seek to delay a prompt trial. On the contrary, we shall do all in our power to expediate the conclu sion of the case, and anticipate being aeady for an issue before a jury early in October, if not sooner, John C. Shoemakeb.

The Prospect ia Orsgon. The political canvass has thus far bce.i marked by unusual quietude; but few public meetings have as yet been held in this part of the State. The .attempt of Republican leaders to in fuse BiUingate nasliness into the cam paign lias proven an utter failure. Undernoath this smooth exterior there is a growing sentiment among the in dustrious classes that a change is ne cessary. This sentiment and feeling is making itself heard and felt through, out the entire State. The Republican leaders, who a few short weeks ago, were quietly reposing behind their two thousand majority, feeling perfectly secure in carrying the State without a O effort, have awakened to the situation, and are applying the party lash with 8 ill and dexterity. They have their lu'u tenant, corpoi.e' and flunky in every county village arid school dis trict spying out the wavering brethren and devising ways and means to force them hack into the fold. They have their legularly appointed assessors and tax. gatherers collecting the much needed soap to cleanse the sanguinary garment. Should the ratio of change and disaffection amongst the brethren extend throughout the State, that we have noticed in our immediate sur rourdings their effort will bo unavail ing. They may swing the party lash to. their hearts content The indepen dent voters will come up tc the poles ort the Ides of Nove nber in such nun bers that they bury the Maine statesman with his corporate shares so deep that ha will never more be thought of, even by h'.a most ardei.t admirers.

The Deaiocratis party cf the Union, through its representatives in Notional Contention asselflbleJ, recognizes that as the nation gro w older new issues ire born of time and progress, and old issues pensh, but tbc fundamental principles of Democracy, approved tht? wirted voice of the people; remain, and will ever remain, :i th has and omy security for the con inuarice of free government. Ire pr-servsrtim ol person rights, the equality of all eHizefls before the iax, the reserved rlgnts o: the states, ana tns sapre-. m;vcy of the Federal Government -within the limits if the Constitution, will ever f nu the true basi3 of our liberties, and can never be surrendered without de stroying that bilaniiB of ngiits ana powers v.-inch en able j a continent to oe devehiped in ieaco ana s.xiul order to be nuiiiitaiiie J by means of local sel.'-govcrn-nient. But it Is inriistjensable, for the practical applica tion and ciif'jrireineiit of these faaj;'.n;eninl prin ciples, tbufc the Goveniineno should not always be Co ftroilcJ by one pclit:c.U party. A Ire juent etiange Cif aJmiiiiblration is us necessary as the constant re currence to the powular will; otherwisa, bi- grow, and the Uoviifnnient, instead of bsing can-ied on for tlie general weiftire, becomo'tan mstnimentalitj lurim posing heavy bunienson the many, who are governed for the l.'e:ie:it of the l:v who govern. Paolic ser vants thus Ue.'ome aridtrary rulers. Tnis is mw the condition of the country. Ileti'je a change is demandc 1. 'fiie Itepubliean party, so fur as ' prin- iple is concerned, is a remiiiisoenee; in pi-acutce, it is an orgamza- on for clinching tho.-:e who control its ma chinery. The frauds and jobbery which have been brought to lirh.t in every dco irtiuunt of the Govern- mont are su'.ii:aent to have cail.fU for refinn it.nn th Kopubiican party; j'ct thosa in authority-, inde reckless by the long p ssesion of power, have suc cumbed to its coriuiting influence, and hava placed in nomination a ticket against which the independent portion of the party ai-e in open revolt. Therefore a change h demanded. Such a change was aliko neces sity in 13To, but tlie will of the e-ple w.w tlicn de feated by a fraud, wiii.-h can neve.-be forgotten nor condoned. Again in 19i0 the cha nge demanded by the people was defeated by the lavish use of money, contribute! by unscrupulous contractors and sljame les jobbers, who had bargained for unlawful proiits, or for high offl The Republican party, during its legal, its stolen, a:id its bought tenures of power, hai steadily decayed in moral character and political capacity, its platform promises are now a list of its past failure?. It demands the restoration of our navy; it ha squandered hundreds of millions to cre ate a navy that docs not exist It calls upon Jongress to remove the burdens under which American shipping has been depressed; it imposed and haj continued those b:irdeus. Tt professes the policy of reserving the public lands for small holding by actual settlers, it has given away the people-.' heritage ti'l now a few railroads, and non-resident aliens, individual and corporate, pos sess a larger area than that of all our farms between the se;is. Jt professes a preference for free institu tions; it organized and tried to legalize a control of state elections by federal troops. It professes a de sire to elevate labor; illias subjected American work ingmcn to tho competition of convict aud imported contract labor. It professes gratitude to all who were disabled or died in the war, leading widows and orphans; it leit to a Democratic House of Represen tatives the Prst effort to equalize both bounties a-d pensions. It proffers a plo Jko to correct the irregu larities of our tariff; it created and ha3 continued them. Its own tariff commission confessed the need of more than 0 per cent, reduction; its Congress gave a reduction of less than 4 per cent. It professes the protection of American manufacturers; it has sub jected them to an increasing flood of manufactured goods, and a hopeless com pet tiou ith manufactur ing nations, not sne of which taxes raw material. It professes to protect all American industries; it has impoverished many to subsidize a few. It professes the protection of American labor; it has depleted the returns of American agriculture, anind'.Jstry followed. oy nan our pooiio. it pro:e-ses tne eoiiaiitv of all n before the law. Attempting to fix the a atus of colore- .'4,'",n8, the acts of iis Congress were overset by the decisions u its courts. It "accopts anew the duty ot icj.-'! in tho worn o: progress ana rcr mn;" its caught criminal irs permitted to cso-.po through contrived delaj s or actual eviinivar.ce in the prose cution. Honeycombed with corruption, otv0rcw&r' exposures no longer snocK us iucrai sense, its Hon est members, its iudepedent journals, no longer main tain a suocsssful contest for authority in its counsels or a veto upon bad nominatons. That change is nec essarily proved by an existing surplus of more than $100,000,000, which has yearly been collected from a suffeiing people. Unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation. We denonnce tho Republican paity for havingfailed to relieve the people from crushing war taxes which have paralyzed busincrs, crippled industry and de prived labor of employment aud of just reward. The Democracy pledges itself to purify the admin istration from corruption, to restore econ omy, to revive respect for law and to re duce taxation to the lowest limit consistent with a due regard to the preservation of the faith of the nation, to its creditors and pensioner; knowing full well, however, that legislation affecting the occupations of the people should be cautious and conser vative in method, not in advance of public opinion, but responsive o its demands, the Demo cratic party is pledged to revise the tariff in a spirit of fairness to all interests; but in making a reduction in taxes, it is not promised to injure any domestic indus tries but rather to promote their heaHhy growth. From the foundation of this Government the taxes collected at the Custom hou.;e have been t he chief source of Federal revenue. Such they nr:st continue to bo. Moreover, many industries have come to rely upon legislation for a successful continuance, so that any change cf law muni be at every step regardful of labor and capital thus in vol veil. The process of reform must be subject in its execution to this plain dictate of justice All taxation shall be limited to the re quirements of an economical Government. The necessary reduction in taxation can and must be af fected without depriving American labor of the abil ty to compete successfully witl; forp:gr aor, and without imposing' lower rates ot d.i'J' than will bo ample to cover any 'iicrensed cost of production which may exist in consequence of the higher rate of wages prevailing in this country. Sufficient revenue to pay all the expenses of the Federal Government econom ically administered, including pensions, interest and principal of tho public debt, can be got under our present system of taxaiiou from Custon.-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 ot" the existing tariff and subject to prafeodiugli'iiitadon, we demand that Federal taxation shall be exclusively for public purposes, andsh.-.ll not exceed the needs of the government ttconoinically administered. The system of direct taxation, known as the "internal revenue,"1 is a war lax. and so long as the law continues the money received therefrom should be sacredlv devoted to tho relief of the people from remaining burdens of the war, and be made a fund to defray the expense of the care and comfort of worthy soldiers, disabled in the line of duty In the wars of the .Republic, find for the payment of such pensions as Congress may from time to time grant to such soldiers a like fund for the sailors having been already providedand any sur plus should be paid into the treasury. We favor an Ariierican continental policy, based upon more intimate commercial and political relations with the fifteen sister Republics of N jrth. Central ayd South America, but entangling alliances with none. We believe in honest money the g.iM and silver coinage of theconstiritution and acircuiating medium convertible into such money without loss. Asserting the eipjality of all men before the law we hold that it is tlic duty of the Government, in dealings with the people, to mete out equal and exact justice to all citizens, of whatever nativity, race, col or or persuasion, religious or political. We believe in a free ballot and a fair count, and we recall to tha memory of the people the noble struggle of the Democrats in the Forty-fifth and For-tv-sixth Congresses, by which a reluctant Republican opposition Mas compelled to assent to legislation making everywhere illegal the presence of troops at the polls the conclusive proof that ' a Democratic administration will preserve liberty with order. The selection of Federal officers for the Territori,33 should be restrcted to citizens previously resident thereof. We oppose sumptuary laws, which vex the citizens andl.itefero with individual liberty. We favor an honest cikil service reform in compen sation of all United States offices by fixed salaries, the separation of Church and State, and the diffusion of free education by connn n schools, so thateverv child in the land may be taught the rights and duties of citizenship. While 'e favor all legislation which will tend to the eiuitabie distribution of properly, to the preven tion of monopoly, and to the st.net enforcement of individual rights against corporate abuses, we hold that the welfare of society depends on a scrupulous reparu for tne rights ot property as oi-n. ed ry law. Vt'e believe that kibor is best rewarded where it 13 freest and most eidightened. It should be fostered and cherished. We favor the repeal of all the laws rcstruhung the free sction of labor, and the enact ment of laws by which labor organizations may lie increased, and of nil such legislation as will tend to enlighten the people as to the true relations of car- -ltai anu lacor. We believe that the public Jands ought, as far as possible, to be kept as homesteads for actual settlers; that all unearned lands heretofore iiiprovidently granted to railroad con.wjrations by the Republican party should be restored to the public domain, and no more grants shall be made to corporations, or be al lowed to fall into the ownership of alien absentees. We are oojosed to all propositions which, upon any pretext, would convert tho general Government into a machine for the collection of taxes to be distributed among the States or citizens thereof. lu reaffirming the declaration of the Pemccratic platform of 1S.C that "the liberal principles embodied by Jefferson in the Declaration of independence, and sanctioned in the Constitution, which makes ours the land of "liberty and the asylum of the oppressed of every nation, have ever been' cardinal principles in the Democratic faith,, we nevertheless do not sanc tion the importation of foreign labor, or the admission of servile races unfiled bv habits, training, religion or kindred for absorption into the great body of our peo ple, or to the citizenship which our laws confer. American civilization demaods that against the immi gration or importation of Mongolians to these shores our gates should be closed. - The Democratic party insists that it is the duty of the (ioverument to protect 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 panera of naturalization, issued by Courts of competent jurisdiction, must be respected by the executive ana legislative ucpaiwienxs 01 our Qjvn Government, and by all foreign powers. It is a l imjterative duty of this uoverwnient to erncientiy n -ntet-t all the rizbts of persons and the property of eery American citizen in foreign lands, and demand a id enforce full reparation lor any invasion thereof. Krt American c;Uicn is only responsible to nis own Gjvernmentfor any actdone in his country, or under h :r nag and !aw, only to De inea ir-ereior on ner ir and according to her laws. Sio power exists in t iis government to expatriate an American citizen, to b tried in any foreign land for any such act. Tins country has never had any weu-ucnneu ana exe cuted foreign policy save under a Democratic adm.nu-tratinn-that po'.iiv has ever been, in regard to for eign nations, so Ionffastbey do no act detrimental to ( he interest of Uie country or hurtful to our citizens, o let them alone. That as the result of thi policy we retail the acquisition ol Lou isiana, Florida, Califorpi and of the ad jx cent Jttejti"rii . territory by ourxbase alone, and con trast these graTiu Kcquibibonti of Democratic statesman ship with the purchase of Alaska he sole" fruit of nepublican administrarion of nearly a quarter Of a century. ' The General Government should eare for and improve the Mississppi rivef and other great water ay of the Ru;julic, so as to secure for the nterior iita'tes easy and ehdsp transportation to tide-water.' Under a lonjr period of Dfcuioc utic rule and policy our merchant marittft-waS fast ovcrtakingj and on the loiiit of nitefij.p'tng; that of Groat Britain, t-nder o years of Republican ru'p awl policy our commerce has been left to British bottomsana aimot liastne Ameri can flag been swept off the high seas. Instead of the Republican party's British policy, we demand for the people of the Unite iStste3 an American policy. Under Democratic rule and policy our merchants and sailors flying the 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 U other nations in high-paid labor, favorable climates and teeming soils despite the freedom of trade among all these United States, despite their population! by the foremost races of men and an an nual immigration of the young, thrifty and adventur ous of all nations: despite our treedora here from in herited burdens of life and industries in the old world monarchies, their costlv war uavies. their vasttax consuming non-producing standing armies, despite 20 year f ieaee, that Republican rule and policy have managed to surrender to Great Britain, along With our commerce, the control of the mantels ol me world. Instead of the Republican party's British policy, we demand, in behalf of the American Democracy, an American policy; instead of the Republican party s discredited scheme and false pretense of friendship to American labor, expressed bv imposing taxes, we de mand in bshalf of the Democracy, freadom for Amer ican labor, by reducing taxes to the end that these United States may compete with unhindered powers for primacy among nations in all the arts of peace and fruit3 of liberty. , With profound regret we have been apprised by the venerable 8Ute3msu, throuirh whose ;orson Wu.s struck that blow at the vital principle of the republic ac auiescence in the will of the maturity that he can not permit us again to place in his hands the leader ship of tho Democratic host, for the reason that the achievements of reform in the administration of the Federal Government is an undertaking now too heavy for his age and failing strength. Rejoicing that his life has been prolonged until the general judgment of our fellow conntrymcn is united in the wish that the wrong were righted in his person for the lJemccracy of the United btates, we offer t him in his withdraw al from those cares not only our respected symnathy and esteem, but also that best homage of freeman, the pledge of our devotion to the principles and the cause now mseperaDle in tne History oi mis nepuuiie from the labors and name of Samuel J.
