THE BATTLE.
As we write the ballot contest is
raging fiercely all over the state, and
the different political organizations are
using every inducement to secure votes
for the different candidates. It is too
' early yet to state the result, although
we hare felt well assured from the
commencement that the Republicans
would be successful, from the manner
in which the compaign was conducted.
Democratic speakers used all their
efforts to bolster up the fortunes of
their candidate for governor, and ap
peared to completely forget there were
other candidates on the ticket. They
not only made it a campaign for Gov.
Pennoyer, but one of villification of
lion. D. P. Thompson, the Republican
: candidate. Such a course is bound to
re act, and arouse the greatest activity
of the friends of the persecuted person.
We believe this will be the effect in
(' Oregon; and as a re3ulc of the vote
cast in the state to day, the whole Re
publican ticket will be elected and
that Hon. 1). P. Thompson will be the
- next governor of this commonwealth.
. It is apparent that there has been
y considerable "scratching," and that
electors have exercised the elective
franchise with intelligence and inde
pendence. There can be no doubt that
this has been 'true of the county
ticLets, and it is generally true in all
elections. Personal likes and dis
likes will be consulted, and personal
friendship will frequently overcome
' party affiliation. For this reason it is
difficult to predict the result on county
" tickets, however Republican or Dem
ocratic the county may be. By the
time this issue reaches our readers the
licans have been duped into support
ing a man who has never been in har
mony with a single national principle.
We do not say, nor do we believe that
Mr. Sylvester Pennoyer is a dishonest
man in any of his dealings; but simply
that he has drilled under Democratic
tacticians, and believes that the end
in every instance justifies the means.
Undoubtedly he was conscientious
when he wrote the editorials for
the Portland Herald maligning
Abraham Lincoln, opposing the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments, and
antagonizing every measure for the
supremacy of the union during the
"late unpleasantness"; but Republi
cans must know when they voted for
him they endorsed all his utterances.
We cannot understand how the human
mind cm be so deluded as to support
a candidate who is so opposite to every
patriotic principle; but in cool, phil
osophic consideration, we have come to
the conclusion that men are similar to
cattle, and can be swayed by any wild,
empty howl. There is no use in cry
ing over "spilled milk" and lamenting
disasters which could not be averted,
and, therefore, with the best grace im
aginable, we bow to the inevitable de
cree of the sovereign people and will
have fresh courage for the fight in
1592. ,
The vote 1n -.Oregon last Monday
must be taken as an' endorsement of
the action of the Republican admin
istration of President Harrison
and of the present congress. There
is no ' use for Democrats to say
that Republicans are not what
they were once. The people of
the country have the same attraction
for the old party they always had and
have perfect confidence in its admin
istration of national affairs. They
know the old party saved the union,
restored confidence and credit to the
lash hollnt will hnvn bean nlaeed in the

favnr rf ore of the narties. emergency.
It is too early to rejoice; but coming
events cast their shadows before, and
. we are in the most agreeable mood.
Crook county and Klickitat county
are anxiously looking towards The
Dalles for an outlet by means of a
railroad, and if the transportation
company will place boats on the river
this city in a few years will be the
largest shipping point in the north

factor of development, and with the
expenditure of a few thousand dollars
it can be made bo. Wlien tne

Democracy has no na
tional principles, and has not had
for over twenty-five - years. The
policy which has raised the nation
to its present standing, was originated
by Republicans, and the organization
is still firmly grounded in the old
principles. Take out of the contest
the Union party and Republicans will
carry Oregon by oyer 8,000. There is
considerable vitality and vigor in the
organization, and this will always re
main while the republic requires
sagacity and patriotism. .
It is not pleasant to view a field of
battle after defeat, and it may be ex-

AFTER THE BATTLE.
The election is over, and the result
can be conjectured, if not definitely
known. In the state there has been
a sweeping Republican victory, with
the single exception of the candidate
for governor, whose election is still in
doubt. On the county ticket, the
Republicans have no doubt secured
their candidates, with the possible ex
ception of Gourlay and Cartwright.
As a matter of course, the victory
would be more complete if the election
of Hon. D. P. Thompson and the full
county ticket were assured; but Re
publicans should not expect a crushing
dafeat for their opponents every second
year. In the variableness of the
human mind changes will happen, and
off-years in politics occur as frequent
ly as bad years in business. There is
no question that Oregon is largely
Republican, and that the defeat of
Mr. Thompson if such is a fact
could have been averted by harmony
in the party ranks. For many years
the politics of Oregon have been dic
tated by Portland rings, and the Re
publican party has been under the
persoual dictation of Mr. Joseph
Simon. At the last primary held in
that city there was a well-organized
revolt and Mr. Simon and his friends
were defeated. Taking their defeat
to heart these ring Republicans de
termined to defeat the candidate from
Portland, who may have been instru
mental in the overthrow of their boss.
It may be that they have succeeded;
if so, there will be a day of retribu
tion fcr these malcontents. There is
always a future for those who attempt
to "rub or ruin" in their own party.
Another cause is apparent for the de
feat of Mr. Thompson, and that is the
manner in which the members of the
Union party rallied around the stand
ard of Pennoyer, which almost leads one
to believe it was brought into existence
for the purpose of aiding the Democ
racy. Undoubtedly it was hatched and
brought into existence by that party.
It is pleasanc to view the field of
battle after a substantial victory, and
this is the case to day. The Repub
licans have elected nearly all the state
ticket by a handsome majority, and
have only lost the governor through
the treachery of their own partisans.
bickerings engendered by the contest,
and again work in harmony for our
local intersts. In this portion of the
northwest we have transportation
schemes which shold be pushed to an
early completion. The country in
this vicinity, which is rich in all nat
ural resources, should be developed ry
the exercise of energy and enterprise.
Thanks to the freedom of our institu
tions it makes little difference to the
individual citizen whether there is a
Republican or Democratic governor at
the helm of affairs in Oregon, and in
either event should business be
affected in the least. Some sys
tem of waterworks should be inaug
urated immediately, so that our cit
izens could hold out inducements to
people desirous of making homes in
our beautiful city, and who are only
debarred therefrom by lack of good
water. The transportation company
should not waste any time in matur
ing the project, as boats should be on
the river to move the crop this fall.
We have had sufficient political recre
ation to last us for the next two years;
now let us attend to business and the
best interests of the city.
TELEGRAPHIC.
MITCHELL GETS WARM. '
Washihgton, June 3. On Mr. Mit
chell's return to the city this morning Lis
attention was called to a dispatch from
New York purporting to repeat a Wash
ington special to the Commercial Advert
iser and published in The Oregonian in
its issue of May 26, and which staled in
substance that strained relations exist be
tween Senators Dolph sod Mitchell,
growing out of "certain reports made by
Dolpb from certain committees ou bills
introduced by Mitchell." After reading
the dispatch Senator Mitchell said, with
some warmth: "The whole thing is a
fabrication from begining to end." As
conclusive of this, as to one portion of the
dispatch which stated that Mr. Mitchell
bad reenntly taken occasion to make
very savage attack upon the postitfon
taken by Mr. Dolpb on the silver quest
ion, Mr. Mitchell referred your corre
spondent to the Congressional liecord as
to just what he did say on that occasion
and which was nothing trore than
courteous and friendly dissent from the
views f bis colleague on the subject and
to wnicn senator uoipn took no except
ion whatever. Mr. Mitchell said further
that the personal relations between bim
self and colleague during the five years of
their service in the senate together had,
without a single interruption, been of the
most friendly character and with the
single exception of the silver question
tbeie bad been substantial, and in

in bulk, and this city can de
mand the same special rates as any
ocean competitive point. As soon as
this is accomplished railroads to
,"' Goldendale and toPrineville will neces
sarily follow, and manufacturing indus
tries will be inaugurated. Work
should be commenced on the boats
immediately, so that, if possible they
could be used to move the wheat crop
' this fall. The project now maturing
is the most hopeful one for the
- future of The Dalles that has hap
pened for years, and if carried
' to completion, this will be the distribut
" ing point for a larger portion of country
than any town in Oregon, except
Portland, The possibilities of the
future are almost unlimited, and our
business men have only to take advan
tage of opportunities within reach to
reap a golden harvest.
The legislature is Republican by a
good working majority, and the elec
. tion of a successor to Mr. Mitchell of
the same party affiliation is assured.
. As far as the River and Harbor bill is
concerned Oregon has been treated
very liberally, and there is no occasion
for complaint. But there are other
matters that require attention. y For
years -.the settlers have anxiously
' waited for the fotfeiture cf the N. P.
land grant fron Wallula to Portland,
. and have, been disappointed. In some
instances this railroad land has been
farmed and crops raised. The uncer
tainty of the .title 4s such that settlers
do not want to make improvements,
- and this works a great hardship. Two
years ago the senate forfeiture bill was
defeated by a Democratic house; but
now congress and the administration
are in harmony and something Bhould
be done. ' We have heard no name?
' mentioned for U. S. senator yet, but
believe that the people east of th-
Cascade mountains are entitled to the
candidate. Western Oregon has had

session exeept one, and we believe

election of Pennoyer when the state
is so largely Republican. Mr. Her
mann will be elected by WVO more
votes than he was two years ago, and
the state ticket, with the exception of
Mr. Thompson, will receive handsome
majorities. No sane man can give
any reason why a Republican should
scratch. Mr. Thompson's name for Mr.
Pennoyer, and the only cause to be
assigned is that there are more sense
less people in Oregon than in any
other state in the union. Hon. D,
Thomson was not our first choice; but
as the campaign progressed and we
became better acquainted with him
we were very favorably impressed, and
conscientiously supported him as
competent candidate for the chief ex
ecutive of the state. But, notwith
standing the defeat of Mr. Thompson,
the victory for the Republicans Is very
pronounced. We ' have gained one
officer on the state ticket, and the leg
islature is safe.
Oregon always fires tho first gun,
being a June state, and the only one
in the unipn. Two years ago a presi
dential campaign had begun in earn
est, and the national policies of the
two great parties had to be passed
upon by the voters. To-day is simply
a state and county election, with no
possible effect on national affairs, ex
cept in the legislative and con
gressional parts of the ticket. These
will indicate the strength of the par
ties. It may be expected that the
Union party will attract a great many
of the discontented, classes, who seek
to theorize upon question's which have
taken the wisest men years of actual
experience to determine.. Another
important and unknown factor is the'
.status of the immigrants who have
made their homes in Oregon dur
ing the last two years. The ma
jority of - these are Republicans; but
many of these may have been misled
by Rnrk and bis jugglery of figures.
For the past two months the people
Jiavo been agitated over a very spirited
political coutest; and did not pa)
ranch attention to any other matters.
The election is over, and we can allow
polities to reuiain qyiet for awhile ano
look after cur own local affairs. Thi

There is no occasion for delay, as the

Before the opening of the campaign
we sounded a note or warning in re

Americans induced Blaine to withdraw
from his apparent desire for a diplomatic

but such arrangements must be interna

gunboats at the bidding of Blaine."

San Francisco, June Tbe morning
newspaper dispatches about tbe Aj acbes

Two wild colored men are roaming

A short while since old Milledge Bennett
was suspected of being crazy. " He had
lived for some time in Jackson county
and had two children, a boy and a girl,
who stayed around bim continually. Thp
old man was brought before tbe Ordin
ary's court ot inquiry on a writ of lunacy,
and was adjudged insane and accordingly
seat to tbe asylum.
His two children had by this time
grown up to be of considerable size, and
when tbe old father was sent away to
Milledgeville they put right off into the
woods. They have lived in tbe woods
now for some time and are raving mad.
They have1 lost "what little civilization
tbey possessed,' and are now' back on the

tbey roam. Tbey hardly ever come out
to the view of maiikiod, but prefer to

home, among them a fierce bnHdog, which
