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

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.

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.

Wi: woro compelled to send the last

is unnecessary. It is" probable, how

about time for Mr. IHum to put tho
