Come to Grief
Perhaps there is no community
in the civilized world that can de
tect the humbug and the charlatan
so quick as that of Oregon, nor is
any community f-o ready to prick
the bladder of inflated bombast
and ai rogance. As proof, we have
but to instance the case of a
wealthy capitalist, who having
succeeded in securing the support
of the Kxecntive .and Congress of
the United States to aid in his
seltish schemes, came here to Ore
gon ami thought it, therefore, an
easy task to control the political
sentiment of her people. "(Jrover
i a very good man," said he pend
ing the last State canvass, " but he
can't be Governor of Oregon."
He endeavored to cany his edict
into execution, but failed. " T will
spend a million of dollars rather
Gthan have Kelly go to the Senate,"
he again asservated, but, neverthe
less, Kelly went there and took the
seat vacated bv Williams.the niiant
Q" - 1
tool. There has been only one or
ganization where this capitalist
has ever had any potency, and
that has been the Republican party.
Wc now learn by private advices
frym Portland, that his power has
finally departed there, and that as
a consequence, Ichabod will have
to be written upon the walls of
the Ducal palace. In the last
State canvass, the capitalist had
but to declare his will as to persons
who should receive nominations in
the Republican nominating con
ventions in order to secure such
selections Now, all this is eh ting
ed. The Republicans of Multno
mah county have resolved to dis
pense with his arbitrary dictation.
fhey have determined with an
unanimity which cannot fail ol
o success, to control their own nomi
nations, ar,d tljey have already set
the party machinery t) effectually
in operation to secure that result,
that the capitalist sees already that
his power has departed.
iiom what we learn, wc under
stand that the capitalist aforesaid
had determined not to allow any
Corbctt men to be nominated tor
the Legislature, probably for the
reason that that gentleman could
not be used so pliantly as WjUhpiis.
lie also, had decreed that Sajn Par
rish?ati aspirant for the Sheriffalty,
should riQt be nominated. The
friend, therefore, qf Corbctt and
Parrish are united in their opera
tions, and as they constitute more
than nine-tenths of the Multnomah
Republicans, they can only be
beaten "in tlie primaries by such
notorious corruption as will vitiate
the nominations, alienate the sup
port of the masses of the party and
thereby utterly defeat at the polls
the ticket so nominated. Tht
only alternateive left, therefore, to
this arrogant capitalist by the Re
publicans of Multnomah, is either
defeat at the primaries or defeat at
the polls. They have determined
to control their own nominations,
and if they are beaten bv fraud,
they will punish fraud with their
ballots at the polls. Thus it will
be seen that this arrogant aud self
instituted dictator of Oregon poli
tics has come to grief in the house
of his friends. lie is in a dtlema
and must of necessity bestride one
of its horns. This situation to one
who, like Jove, has heretofore dic
tated tilings by a simple nod, must
be most humilating, and no doubt
in his impotent rage lie could
truthfully exclaim with Mother
Goose :
Lord, Lord. see such :i boy as I.
Here forced to eat ibis humble, pie,
We have all along believed that
this late woul sooner or later over
take this arrogant dictator. Such
late has ever been deservedly meted
out to such inflated bombasts by
the free people of Oregon. Per
haps this fate has been somewhat
accelerated by the coalition formed
by the capitalist with an organ
grinder, who has had the fortune
! to carrv defeat to anv and every
party with which he has ever acted.
At any rate, it has already over-
taken him, for which all good citi-
zens may well rejoice.
Fair Warn in tr.
Many of our readers are aware by what
outrageous means the Radicals curried
this county two years ago. The same kind

IlAtiiiLY. The BuUil'ui says that the
Locks will be constructed out of the sub
sidy given the Company and that they
wiil have a balance on hand after the
completion of the work of 100.00'b We
hardly think so. The original contract
lot. amounted to S210.0UU. besides the
Company had to perform a portion of the
work, which was estimated to cost ai
least S7o.0!)0 more. This would be just
SlOO.UOi) more than the subsidy given the
Company realized them. They received
State bonds to the sum of $200.0(10, but
they were sold for $ls;.000. The con
tractors failed at this figure, and the Com
pany has been compelled to take the
work off their Lands. It is now estimated
that the work will cost at least UiO.liU:).
and not one dollar less. The Company
has expended up to the present time
about $l0t) 000. and their expenses arc
now about tfOOil per day. It is cal
culated with the present, force that the
Company will bit able to complete the
work by the first of January. 1ST:.. Taking
the cost from this estimite. and it wilt
cost another SlfcU.tV.H), m ik'mg two hun
dred and eighty thousand dollars. This
does not include many of the outside ex
penses attached to the works. It is t-hn-ply
the cost of labor, cement, and powder.
If the Company can complete the work
for $3tKI.00v), it will take $113,000 ol
their own funds, and not leave a balance
of the Stale money of $100.00!) on hand

"The iLock Swindle."
The above three words constitute
the entire stock and trade of the
Radical press, and it would be
hard to tell what these poor fellows
liOt'L n .1 '.i.f w !
1 wiuu 111 C V1UI1U iui lis ' I v C li l KJ
write about had not the last Legis
lature given the subsidy to the
west side. They are in great
agony over the 75,000 allowed
the Canal and Lock Company over
the 1. T. Company, and it is the
burden of their song. They tell us
that thev are ia favor of the great
work, yet did not want the "e-chool
fund robbed," and in the same
breath they find any amount of
fault with the Legislature because
it did not give $125,000 to the P.
T. Company out of the same fund.
They exhibit great consistency in
the matter. We are quoted by
them as good Democratic authori
ty for opposing the preference
shown the Lock Company in this
matter. We certainly ivcre oppos
ed to giving the subsidy to the
west side, even had it been the
same as the P. T. Company pro
posed to construct the works at,
for the reason that we thought,
and still think, it would have bene
fitted our county more by having
the works on the Oregon City side,
and for this reason only. The dif
ference of -s75,000 is nothing in
the opinion of any one who will
examine the circumstances and ad
ditional cost of constructing the
work on the west side. The work
could have been done on this side
for about two-thirds of what it
will cost to do it on the west side,
but would not be near as complete
and durable. When it is finished
on the west side, there will be no
further trouble for the present gen
eration in the matter. They could
never have been constructed on
, - - 1
t his side as securely ana permit
nently as on the west side.
Hut we have diverged from our
purpose. The Radicals who are
constantly howling about this tnat-

their faith with the people, ami
those who have parch used in since
will do the same. So much for
the charge of partizan favoritism.
Xow we come to the matter as
to how the bill w.as passed and bv
whom.
It i
is a matter ol recort
that without the aid ot the five
Republican votes in the Legisla
ture which voted at different times
for the bill, it would never have
become a law. The first amend
ment offered by a Democrat, Mr.
Carlile of Benton, was voted down
by 21 for and 22 against, live Rad
icals voting against it. The next
amendment was voted down by a
vote of 20 for and 23 against four
Radicals voting against the pro
posed amendment. The third
amendment, a vital and important
one, proposed by 3ir. Carlile, to
insert "gross" instead of "net re
ceipts," was voted down by a vote
of 22 against 21), three Radicals
voting against the proposed amend
ment. Thus it will be seen that
these live Radicals held the balance
of power during the whole time of
the consideration of the bill, and
they were known to be cr:-d to
cote j'or it ir,ctecer tlii' cotos ice re
riot'uxd. These are facts well
known to the Radicals at Salem at
the time. This shows that if
there has been a wrong committed,
the Radicals are responsible for
their share, and also, that Dave
Thompson, Dr. Loryea and other
Radicals got their peti tion of the !
" &7o, oOO swindle." The question J
now is not who did this, as far as j
we are concerned, but will
the j
work be completed. The extra j
$75,000 is nothing when compared

Polk County Correspondence.
Daixas, April 22d, 1872.
Ewxoit ENrsRi'KisK : 1 h ive though;
that a few items from oar enterprising
town might be interesting to your many
readers. District Court met here to day
with numerous members of the bar in
attendance, but the docket being light, its
session will not be long. This shows a
healthy Sentiment of morality for our
county, and one that suits the tax-paying
community very well. No word of fault
can be heard against the excellent- man
agement of our county finances. When
the Democracy assumed control here,
they found the county in debt, bii lgcs
and roads out of repair and county orders
Sfliin away down below pir, with a
burdensome tax of 17 mills on the dollar.
Now under Democratic rule, taxes are
only 12. roads aud bridges in safe con
dition, the county free from dibt, money
tn our tteasury and county orders ca-hed
on presentation. The Radicals recognize
this unanswerable logic and they will be
beaten more th in one hundred votes on
the day of election.
Pursuant to no' ice given by tbe Demo
cratic Club ot this place. Hons. J. W. Nes

of the Radical platform and .showing the
ntttr absurdity ot their prtuen:i:.s to
trap the people into voiing tor their ireu
era lities that meant anything, something,
or m.hh:g. He ei f;eioively proved that
the Radicals had put a plank iu their
platform to en.Mur.ige Railroads, yet
had sent delegates to PbtUdeSpLda in
strucH'd to vote for Graut for President
wlio was p!edg-d to veto their bill. He
said he believed the Lock bill a good
thing to keep unfettered the commerce of
the Wii'.amvtt.' Valley. That the Swamp
Land law was a good 0110 because it was
a step toward saving this va.st tract of
land th; would be a source of reveu'.ie

The speaker was frequently apph. tided.

and devoted his time in dtl'enso of the

Intense Party .Spirit.
TLe past few years of our political his
tory, says the San Francisco Examiner
Lave been marked by an increase of par
tisan spirit which caused a disruption in
the ranks of the Republican party. Thu
great civilians who shaped its principles
and who Lave been regarded by tLe peo
ble as its founders are in revolt against
the Administration they placed in pow
er. Tbe st'engih of organization and
the patronage of the Government are
now wielded to insure the renomiDation
of General Grant, and be has secured it
to a moral certainly. The distinguished,
men who, under the name of Liberal Re
publicans, intend holding a Convention in
Cincinnati to name a Presidential candi
date and adopt a platform have broken
olf their political relations with tLe Rad
icals in favor of the Administration. Tho
debates in the United Stales Senate bavo
pi iced Iheir reasons for so doing beforo
th people.
They hare arraigned General Grant's
Administration for its ursurpatlona of
power for axtravagance, for nepotism, for
abuses existing in tbe various depart
ments, and for tbe impolicy of departing
from the w holesome principle of one term
lor the Presidential office. A bitter parti
san warelan h.is been waged aguinst the
leaders of the Liberal Republicans, but
there are so few faults in their career thut
they are almost unassailable by truthful
aigumen'. A powerful press support!
the Senators in their efforts for civil re
form and bringing the Government back
lo an economical administration. Sumner,
ScLitrz, Fenton, Tipton and Trumbull,
who would not yield their judgment on
public affairs and obey mandates of the
leaders ol tbe Administration wing, bavo
beea read out of the party they did s.
much to render popular. Sumner, who
had been the Chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Relations for many years, was
displaced from his responsible position
because be could not endorse the flagrant
us irpatiou of power on the part o! tho
Prerident in attempting to annex San
Domingo. TrnmbuiU .vas ostracised be
causft. when Andrew Johnson was on tri
al for impeachment, be nseil his powerful
influence against the pe.-pel ration of
wrong to S'ibserre political animositie.
Both these sre.temen, when the time for
iiuportfMit action arrived, exhibited by
their conduct that they preferred the in
terests of their country to securing parti
san advantage by tbe commission of a
wrong or even of deeds of doubtful le
gality. The other Senators now in oppo
sition to th Administration enjoy the r. -speed
of tbo people for the stand they
have taken on national affairs. The out
cries of a subsidized press calling such
men as Schurz. Feoton and Tipton sore
heads, nnd trying to malign their m ti re,
is such poor argument that, it is reading
iu their favor sun.mg tbe masses. And
thes9 minority Senators bare the
most powerful organs in their favor. The
Tribune and .S?.m. iu New York, daily rervl
by a half mil Ion of readers, are io favor
of the Cincinnati Convention, and several
other able journals are on the same rode,
proving that this movement has taken a
strong hold oc the popular heart.
The prejudices of the past few yearn
2-iin.st the Democratic party are rapidly
dying out. The principles for which ft
has ever contended will be adopted at
Cincinnati by the Liberal Republicans.
Time ha proved that the preservation of
our form of government, as shaped bv i'.s
founders, can only be preserved bv a re
turn to Democratic doctrines. We havo
gained a great moral victory when a great
party divides on political issues and its
intelligent leaders boldly adopt the prin
ciples to wiia-ii we have adhered in storm
arid sunshine. Our country has had its
severe trials in the past, but we are men
aced with a grea'o-r danger than any wo
have yet confronted. It i. that inten.it
party spirit is tending to gtve us a cen
tralized form of froternment in which tho
Chief Executive. V .verci-i ng doubtful
powers by the subserviency of the parti
sans surrounding him. will become as ab
solute ;s a dictator.
General Grant may, if elected another
term, attempt to acquire San Domingo or
other territory with as iiitle regard to thi
wishes of Congress as he did before tho
expedition under Ren Wade which prov
ed a failure. He may again have an op
portunity to put on the Supreme Bench
justices whoso opinions are as agreeable
to him. although not to the people, as
were those of Strong and Bradly. and
thus by Presidential action insure judicial
decisions according to bis own view;
or he may keep in the revenue depart
ments young officers tor whom be has a
personal attachment although they prac
tice extortion on the commerce of our
great seaports. In the election of LSf;3 a
a slight variation in the vote of a few
Slates would have caused bis defeat. In
lST'i it can be accomnlished. and in our
opinion by makin;
nomination.

Tbe Radicals got to cheating among
themselves sa badly that the rcspcctabla
portion of the party now refuse to sup
port the ticket, it i3 charged that tho
candidates for Sheriff and Clerk were
nominated out of the hat, while a largo
majority of the delegates voted for other
persons. Such is Radicalism. The thing
is rotten to the very back-bone, ami th
people are beginning to find it out. From
what we learn. Marion county will elect
a De necra'in county ticket in June.
Mr st Gkt rr Okk. We 'earn that one of
the Radical candidates for the Legislature

which he ought to deliver to his would b

burst at any in orient unless he gets an
opportunity to get it off. We Lope ha
may get an opportunity, a there is no
telling what amount of wisdom there will
be lost to the great councils of the nation
if he does not. Give the rising young
s'atesman a chance.
A Democrat, tv shrewd politician, took
John Burnett aside at Oregon City, tho
next morning alter his discussion there,,
and advised that, for his own sake, he
oti-ht to do one of two things : Ruber
break off the present arrangement for
joint discussion and go it alone, or retire
from the canvass altogether and go home.
The above little information is from tho
Salem Statesman, and, we believe, is the
muSt comp!eto falsehood so far told by
- Radical paper. Wc dare the States,
