Amos K. Jo.st.s, THURSDAY, JUNK f, 1890. irir.Li Tiiu rtfotTii: stand it? Tho election hits come nnd gono, nnd, ns wo predicted last week, with satisfactory results, notwithstanding our fear that tho unscrupulous manip ulators of la Grande would again practice tho samo tactics they used at their city election some months ago, wcro fully realized. La Grande has again come prominently to tho front nnd advertises itself as being Hie most corrupt, sink-holo of in (juity on tho Pacific coast. Probably there never was nn election held at winch such open bribery, fraud, illegality and ut ter disregard of all law was practiced, nnd winch proved so barren of results. The leaders over Micro seem to have become uttorly reckless of consequen ces, nnd encouraged a horde of ignor ant, drunken rudhins to commit acts which caused honest, thinking men to blush with flhiime, and would, if our election laws wcro not cntiroly farc'iil, send tho last ono of them to servitudo j in the penitentiary. Not only were j their plans well laid for tho scenes to j bo enacted in la Grande anil Island City, but their villianos woik was ap-j parent in every precinct in tho county. Asido from their outrageous misrep resentations and oll'oring of bribes to nil who would lako them, they had bogus tickets printed and distributed in Sparta, Eagle, l'ino and other pre cincts which, if they had been used, would, probably, have rendered tho election in thoso precincts void. The law provides that all ballots must bo printed on paper furnished by tho Secretary of State, minutely describing the quality, size, etc. Tho bogus tick ets sent out by La Grando wcro prin ted on a difl'erent kind of paper, but sufiioiontiy like to deceivo anyone not acquainted with tho law. Six of thoeo tickots wcro voted at Sparta, but wore not counted by tho judges. Ju tho other precincts tho fraud was discov ered and frustrated in time. A com mittee in Eaglo valley waited on tho miserable old sinner who had been hired by La Grando to distribute tho tickots, secured them and placed them where they could do no harm. Thosd cunning curs at La Grando cvidontly figured that if theso tickots wore used tho precincts could bo thrown out and they would secure tho county seat. Their little plan was discovered, but it shows what devilish ingonuily they liavo used throughout tho entire C!im paign. Notwithstanding thoso schemes have failed and (lie perpetrators have been rebuked by tho people at tho polls tho questions naturally arise in tho minds of law abiding and thoughtful mon; Of what do theso things portend? "Where nro such practices leading us? "What will bo tho result? llow aro thoy to lio chocked and a bet ter state of nllairs inaugurated? To our mind tho problom is clear as to its disastrous results and tho proper meth od ofprooeeduro plain enough. Tho outraged people of Union county should units in their condemnation of such nefarious praticea nnd aco to it that every man engaged in tho election fraudt, last Monday, is punished to tho full extent of tho law. Tho leaders particularly, M)ino of whom lmvo boon n standing menace to tho good order of tho county for many years, should bo dealt with in such a manner as to render any further rascality on their part, improbable. The precincts of Ln Grande and Island should bo thrown out and not allowed to count in this election. It matters not what candidate such a course would or would not nUeol. Tho principles involved is what tho pcoplo should look at. Let justice be done at all times, uutlinchingly, llow will tho pcoplo decido? Tim pcoplo Imvo heou doing hoiuo HOlid thinking ainoo tho presidential election. Tho fuiluro of tho tuttiiinis trutiuu to fulfill its groat proiuii-os on tho ono hand uml tho iudiibtry of tho domoeratio papers in explaining tho tarift'and pointing out its ovila and detriment to tho laboring elassoa, lmvo caused nn overwhelming reversion of publio sentiment, Mr. Cleveland ru coivod ono hundred thousand more votca tlinn did Mr. Harmon. Tho emtio unchanged policy of tho former will at tho uo.t election give tho tlem ocratio nominoo ft popular voto of over ono million. Tim: republican party lins found out that Snoddy nnd Cagey nro woighls ton lioavy to carry. Tho burg of La Grando linn, probably, como to tho samo conclusion. cit. rinii'osie. While The OitrxoN Eeotrr novor hesitate:- t proclaim its faith in the principle enunciated by tho present domorr.itic party under the leadership ! of that incorruptible patriot and hon est ftatesdrm GroVor Cleveland, we never osj sight of our main groat aim, that of bing a newspaper, and if we niu.'t sacrifice either for the benefit of the other, politics mut tnko a back J scat as news will alv?ay have tho pro i forence in tliotto columns. Notwith j standing the fact, that, excluding our politics, the OitKflo.v Scout eacli weok contains nearly twice as much rending matter a.i any other paper in the county, wo will over have n walch fullnees for tho nmr. Wo have been asked, why wo should mnko favorable roimnenls of promi nent Republican's from time Jo timo, ns we havo ropcatedly done, anil to an swer such questions is simply to refer to our declaration above.. Tim SCOUT publish":! tli j news without regard to whom or what it concerns, nnd com ments on porsruH and tilings without any rogard to tho loelings which exist botwoou the odi'orial or business man agement and tho persons or things that happen to be the subjects of hon est criticism. Tho opinion a newspaper has of a public official, or of tho can didate for a public position, is not moulded by tho patronage of tho offi cial or the office lie seeks. Tiik Scout recognizes tho right of ovory man to think, politically nnd otherwise, ns ho hocs fit, so long as he thinks temper ately and acts within the law; this too, although the editorial or busiuosa management may lmvo views directly opposite. Whilo vo always fall readily in with a henlthy public opinion, anil do not shapo our courao in an oppoaito way yet, if that public opinion is un healthy we nevor hesitato to antagonize it, that it may become pure. VKT IJKAK8 ()' TIIK CIVU, WAK. As a part of tho census of tho pcoplo to be taken during tho month of Juno special provision has boon made by Con gress for aseertaning tho names of sur viving soldiers, sailors, and mariners who were miMlcred into the service of tho United States during the war of the rebellion, and of the widows of soldiers sailors, and manners who havo died. In connection with this special census of veterans tho organization or vessel in which thoy nerved, the torm of service in each eauo, and proeont losidonco will bo taken by tho cuhbus enumerators. In the onso of widows, rogarding tho service of their deceased husbands is also required. The importance or ac curate statements concerning tho mil itary record of each participant in t ho Into war should not bo underestimated. Veterans of the war generally will rec ognize and appreciate tho value of this spooial census to (hem, and thoy sliould aid the consus enumerators in gotting true statements in ovary way possible. Without thoir co-operation correct re sults can nut be reached. Tub last issue of tho Ln Grande Ga zette contains as many contomptiblo lies as it is possible to crowd on the aizo of papor need. Aa thoy availed nothing, howevor, it is not worth whilo for ns to allude to thorn further at this time. Notwithstanding the bribery, corruption, ballot-box stuffing and in timidation used by tho strikers of that town Ln Grande has been relegated to the shade by tho honest people of Un ion county, and it is to bo hoped that wo will not bo trouhl- d any more by tho coutemptiblo thieving outfit. WW WpI II,. it I Wi: woro compelled to send the last issue of Tiik Scout to our subscribers in various parts of tho county, by a carrier, as our osisorieueo villi the mails for tho lmst few mouths made it plain to us that that tho papers would not reach their destination uuUss wo did. Comment on thU stnto of affairs is unnecessary. It is" probable, how over, that they wil be received moro regularly hereafter ius tho onuso for sic klying thorn no longer oxiata. Sincb the f20,OUO that 1m Grando mortgaged itelf for "to ooiutuot w.itor works" has been distributed throughout tho county, and tho gas well has col lapsed, nnd tho artesian well doesn't belch up any thing worth n cent, it is about time for Mr. IHum to put tho query: "Vnt in h-11 vnali vo going to do nexoht?'
