Before another issue of the Lndepexdext wo will all le called upon as citizens of this greac Republic to expi-es3, by our ballots, our choice cf candidates for that important ofiicc. It is of more concern to. us -individually and collectively how we"1 exercise that, choice than at any preceding Presiden tial election. ' - Cfpon jthe suffrage of the voters, de dejiends jhe prosperity in a measure of fifty millions of our citizens. This is of more importance to us all than any previous election, because the issues and principles involved are moro clearly de fined than over before. Y c are called upon to say whether a moneyed oli garchy backed by corporate and concen trated wealth shall own and control this Government ; or whether the people have rijrlns which these wealthy aristo crats artj bound to respect. The issue letween capital and labor h well de fined in this casnpaign. We are called upon to s.ij whether I112 : Dorseys, the Bradys, Bess Slrp'urds, Dudleysj Stsvcn Elkiris, and Hie mob with their credit Mobiliers, whisky steals, star route jobs and like frauds shall longer speculate on the copies subsist" ence andjrevel in! their iil-gotien gains, while we all languish and suffer by the hard times which the present policy cf the Republican party entails upon the country. Democrats of Oregon do'your duty and there will be'encuh honest Repub cans join with you and all will bo well. "Republicans, behold vjuv leader ! exclaims the enraptured organ. "What a grand figure he presents at the head of your column, marching now to vic tory ! Is it strange that ho is called the Plumed Knight of the army of American progieas T iswhat the New York Tribune says of Blaine . ttw, M says the World, "behold him meaking out-of Ohio with a cry of victory on his lips and only a minority cfall the votesfollowing at his heels !" Behold him as he hurries by West Virginia, where he has been making a gallant fusion raid, pelted by a three fold Democratic majority ! Mark him as he appeared on his knees tefora Mulligan begging for mercy ! 'See him performing the dramatic trick of falling cn the church steps from a sham sun-stroke in order toes cape facing Eppa'Hunton and his com mittee S f Xjook at him as he sneaks'! into the Senate covered with ugly tattoo marks to escape expulsion from the House ! See the "grand figure he ,piesents" as he hides his Hocking Valley shares under his coat and displays the brand o "continental liar" on his forehead ! Contemplate him secretly intrigu ing to defeat Folger in the: State ' of NjwJYorkand then'writing a cringing letter to the betrayed Secretary beg ging his support 1 .Behold what" a "grand figure of proportions" ho presents as he writes a beggar's petition to "My Dear Mr. Fisher" for a false character, and adds, VBurn this letter !" How noble helooks as he indignant ly dashc3 off his blustering Uelegram announcing his determination to de fend the honor of his family with his life if nscessary, and follows it up with a private and confidential letter to the Jersey Money-Bay, laying bare the sscrets of his private life ; What a bold and independent Plumed Knight he appears as ho blar neys with Patrick and "Prosts" with Hans for the Irish and German votes, ; How.' dashing and fearless in his chivalry he shows, as he crawls to the polls through a rain-shower to avoid the women aud dodges thy Prohibition ote !'- What vender that tha Tribune should burst into a glow of entusiastic twadle over this gorgeous, gilt-gingerbread Knight of white feather, 'Tlire must be a change at Washing ton !

Blaine's high, tariff" views and favorit ism to monopoly and rpecial interest is ftt wanted there, 1 -"Stick t3 tha Party" "Stick to tlio party." "Yes," they cry, "stick to the party ;" let them rob you of 1 land and products; let them mako yqu, beggarsf and slaves ; let thi? whole, broad, grain, fertile and glori ous Northwest be delivered over in fee simple, with all the products and all the inhabitants -thereof, to a railroad com pany! j Toil and-sweat, strive and. save, suffer ami starve, to produce three bushels of "rain that two niav be given for freight charges to the railroad.

The party that has granted 270,000,000 of your land and mine to corporations, and allowed them nay encouraged them, .to charge you and I four prices for every piece of service they perform. The party that snid in it3 platform that it favored forfeiting when that verv same dav its rt-mesen tative.s in Congress the raiiroauV representatives and net the people's were to a man opposing forfeiture and assisting by cvej'y device in their power in robbing the people of their sacred; heritage.' - ' ' The railroads have two representa tives who make their home in Oregon. One of ihem has been here the other is comincr. It is a wonder that thev dars j show their faces among the farmers of Umatilla county. It is the same battle i:i the Nation ro-day as in Washington Territory. We don't care to sav a word m praise of tho! Democratic party as such or in condemnation of tlie Republican party as such, in this art'clc. We are talk ing aUout the people's parry, or if you please, the farmeis' parly, and tlie rail road party. But tlio Democratic paily did declare for forfeiture in Congress, and the Republican Senate killed every forfeiture bill. The Democratic party declared for forfeiture in Washington Territory, and 03 Republican, party declared for th-S. railroad. Oregon's true representative, J.tmes H. Slater? a Democrat, did introduce, work for, and vote for forf n ture bills ; while Do!rli and George, Republicans ex posed lijoa.. Don't blame us for facts. Theyl are matters of record, and you can not 'escape from them. Will you ignore thee, and even though you ars Republicans, vote tor a railroad party 1 The higher the office to be filled, and the .broader the contest, the greater will be your influence, n cno side or the ether. Sir. Blaine is a tit candidate of tlie railroad party. Not ? single vote' of his can bo found on record in favor of the people, Evory time it has been on the sid of the railroads. Not once, in all his twenty-five years of brilliant political pyrotechnic display, has this candidate ever lifted his voice in defense of the people's rights against the encroachments of corporate power. East Orc-.'onian. The following presents the ludi crous side of the campaign, and illus trates how a good joke will 'escape the eagle eye of a newspaper man : James D. Warren, editor of the Buffalo Com mercial, who is rriak'ng a vigorous campaign in behalf of Blaine for the Presidency, recived a poem, which upon its face was full of praise for the Republican candidate, and was accepted and printed in that journal. Special attention was also called by the editor to the beautiful tribute. Upon a care ful reading cf the same after it was in print, it was discovered that it was nothing else than an acrostic, which those who read might understand that it was their bounden duty to "vote for Cleveland." The editor's consterna tion and indignation upon the unearth ing of the fraud mr,y be better imag- ined than described. ' It cost the Republican party at least 0300 for every majority vote thy re corded in tho. Ohio election. It is a dearly bought- victory aud shows clearly the drift of public opinion in the United States. Tlie country is evidently for Cleveland r.nd Hendricks so solidly as to bo beyond the reach of corrupting gold. Blaine's magnetism, which was so strong as to draw negro voters to Ohio from Kentucky and Virginia, leaves that State 8,000 nearer the hands of the. Democrats than it was at the October ejection in 1SS0. Let i the Republicans crow. Roeixsox, the Republican candidate for Secretary of Stale in Ohio, has been elected by a plurality of 11,321, but lacked 1,200 votes cf securing a ma jority: This out of a total vole cf. 780,000 writes Ohio as a very doubt ful State for the Presidential election. In Weht Virginia, where Blaine also made speeches, the Democratic majori ty increased 2,000 over the wajoiity for supreme judge in 1883, and over 3,000 above that given for Hancock in 1880. iTiiE Democratic governor of West Virginia has been elected by over 10 000 majority, a gain of 7,000 over the. majority for supreme judge last year. The bosses o the grand old party of high moral ideas are having a great deal of trouble in New York. John O'Brien, who controls the machine in the city, does not want Blaine, and put up a local ticket with a view of trading. The leading Blaine men saw through the" trick and witdrew from the convention. The brethren are now in a kettle of hot water.

Tha llepubUcan party, duriiir iti ky.d, its stolen, and its boiuiit tenurjj -f power, l:a stealiiy decayed in moral ciiara-.-t'r aud po'ithai capacity.

It prof esse a prc.Vronce for free institu tions; it organized and tried to lega'.iza a control cf '.State ole it ions by federal troops. " It jrnfas.-rs a de sire to clevatf labor; if has subjected American', work iiigrneii to the coiijcAit!on of convict and imooried contract labor. It professes gralitudc to ali who were disabled or died in the war, leaving widows snd orphans; it left to a Democratic House of Ucpreseu t.itivjs the Prst effort to equalize both bounties a-d pensions, ts proffors a pis Ige to correct the irrcgu Uritiasof our tariff; . it created and has continued them. Its ovn tariff commission c-nfc.-wed ti t reed of more than 2t per cent, reduction; its Conivt-u-sgave a reduction of lc.5s tha i 4 per cent, it professes tho protection of American iiraiuf.icturer ; it has nub jecte 1 them to an increasing Hood of manufactured goods, and a hopeless compet tion vvith manufactur ing nations, not one 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 pgriculturc, an industry followed by half our people, it professes the equality of all men before the law. Attempting to fix the saitus of colored citizens, the acts of its Congress were overset by the decisions of its courts. It- "accopts ur.ew the duty of leadinir in the work of progress and reform;" its caught criminals are permitted to escape through contrived delay s or actual connivance in the prose cution. Honeycombed with corruption, outbreaking exposures no longer tdiock its moral seise. Its holi est mc:flber3, its indepe lent j ournals, no longer main tain a successful contest for authority in its counsels or a veto upon bad nomihatons. That change is nec essarily proved by an existing surplus of more th, in S100,()':0,ijOO, which has yearly been co'dcc'ed from a Miffeiinir people. Unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation. We denounce the Republican party forliavinfailed to relieve the people from crushing war taxes which have paralyzed business, crippled Industry and de prived labor of eirplcA irent and of just reward.

From the fo'.ui .Litis of this Goveniineiitt'bs taxes collected at the Custoni-Jioaae 1ive been t he chu t source of l-'cJcr.d nneuue. Such they iau;-t continue to be. Moreover, nv.iiy industries have comu to rely upon legislation fori successful coniinuaiicc, so that any cl"ange of law mut be at every step regardful of labor and cuyiiud thus involved. The process of reform must tsa suliject iu its execution to this plain dictate of justice -All taxation shall be limited to tlie re quirement;; of an economic-el. Government.

We believe in a frej biliot and a. fair count, and we recall to the memory of the people the noble stru""de of the Democrat's in the forty -fifth ami Kor-tv-sixth Congresses, by which a reluctant republican onnosition w." compelled to assent to legislation making evervv.hcre illegal the presence of troops at the polls the conclusive proof that a IXmiwiatic administration will pi-eserve l.bcrty with order. The selection of Federal officers for the. Tcrr.torics Should be restricted to citizens Ore viously resident thereof. We opHwe sumptuary Jaws, which vex the citizens aud-intefera with individual liberty. We favor an honest civil service reform in compen sation of all United States offices by fixed salaries, the aeparati'm of Church and State, and the diffusion of free oiacarion by ciramjn school.;, so that every chili ia the land may be taught tfce rights and duties of citizenship. I While we favor all legislation which "will tnd to the ei.juita.He distribution of proiJerty, to the preven tion of monopoly, and to the strict enforcement of individual rig-hts against corporata abuses, we hold that the v eliare of society depends on a scrupulous regard for the rights of property as defii.ed by law. We bclievb that labor is best rewarded, where it is freest and most enlightened. It should be fost red and cherished. We favor the repeal of all the law restraining the free action of lj,bor,and the enact ment of laws by which labor organizations niay be inerea-Sed, and of al! such legislation as will' tend to enlighten the people as to the true relations of cap ital ainl labor. ; We believe that the public lands ought, as far as possible, to be KeMtra-j homesteads fr actual tettler?; tr.at all unearned lands heretofore mmrovioently granted to railroad -corporations by the R:ublicau party should be restored to the public domain, and no more crant.1 shall be made to corporation or t e l lowed to into the ownership of alien absentcei. e aro ooposed lo ail propositions which, u;ku any pretext, would convert t lie general ;Gove:iiment into a machine for the collection of t-xesto be distributei ajnouff the States or citizens thereof la reatiirmii!j the declaration of the Democralic platform of 1S5B that "the liberal nriiiciples embodied by Jctlerson hi the Pcrlaratioii of liJdepeiidcnce, nd sanctioned in the Constitution, which mukes ouri the land of liberty and the asylum of the oppressed of every nation, have ecr been cardinal principles la the Democratic faith.', we nevertheless io rot sarie. tio'.ithe iiopurui'iui! f foreign labor, or the admission of servile racc3 imS'.sd by habits, trainins.-, re'.igion or kindred for absorption into tlje prcat bouy oi our jeo pie, or to the citizensMp Vhith our laws cvnier Amencin civilization dcnuncis llial against tue lu.uu (fiitioii or importation f Mongolians to these bhores our gates should be closed.
