The IJaltirnore Convention.
G
Next Tuesday the Democratic
National Convention meets at
Baltimore. The eyes ot the whole
world are centered on the result of
the action of this body. We be
lieve they will act the part of pa
triot'5, and not cowards, and give
to the people a platform and
ptandard -bearers which will create
an enthusiasm seldom witnessed,
and nominate men who will receive
the united support of all lovers of
constitutional liberty and free gov
ernment. We have faith in the
"wisdom and integrity of the men
who have been selected to act for
the party and the best interests of
the nation, and await anxiously the
result of its action. The time is
sborl, and we would counsel Dem
ocrats not to indulge in useless
speculation as to who the candi
dates will be. It can do no good.
After the action of the Convention
is known, will be the time for talk
and work. A Democrat will be
the nominee at Paltimorc, and the
strength of the Kadicals bcinir di
vided, we shall elect that Demo
crat next November. Horace Gree
ley connot get the nomination at
cthat Convention, and he has an
nouccd his intention not to with
draw from the contest. With the
Padical strength divided between
Grant and Greeley, the united and
unflinching Democracy will walk
triumphantly over the field, and
once more place at the head of our
nation statesmanship, honesty and
integrity. No such favorable op
portunity for success has been pre
sented to the Democracy during
the past twelve years. Let us act
harmoniously together, and the en
emy will be ours.
Their Keasosi
The principal reason presented
by Democrats of Oregon why the
IJaltirnore Convention should en
dorse Greeley is,that "the Southern
people are for him." AVe have yet
to see the indications of such a
state of facts. So far as we have
observed, although many newspa
pers and politicians of limited in
tUjcncg have declared for him, the
leading men of the South are pro
nounced against him. If he is eu
odorsed by the IJaltirnore Conven
tion, tUcy will support him, in
preference to Grant ; but they all
desire a President who, in his ca
pacity as Chief Kxccutivc of the
Government, will use the power of
the high position for the accom
plishment of no merely partisan
purposes. '
The people of the South are, no
doubt, in a desperate condition.
Like drowning men, they catch at
straws. They did so in the case
of the nomination of Frank IJlair
for the Yicc-1 'residency in 1808,
by enthusiastically approving it.
The result was an ignominious de
feat of the Democratic party, and
bitter disappointment to them.
Thousands of Democrats, in North
ern States where their votes would
have changed the result, declined
to vote or voted against
the ticket on which his name ap
peared, believing there was no
more difference between Seymour
and JUair and Grant and Colfax
than there is between tweedledum
tweedledee.
The Southern people arc again
grasping
at straws, when tliev
urge the nomination of Greeley at
the Baltimore Convention. If he
be nominated, under the pressure
they bring to bear, we fear his de
feat ; then where will be the oppor
tunity for another grasp? The
defeat of Democracy under the
banners of Greeley means the per
petual triumph of liadiealism and
the consummation of all of its
diabolical future purposes.
Coon Nomination-. Tho Democracy of
First Congressional District of Califo'rnia
has nominate, Col. E. J. G Kewen as their
candidate for Cccgress. It j3 a most t,x.
celient selection. This district will prob
ably give twenty-five hundred Democrat
ic majority. Col. Kewen is one of the
most eloquent speakers of that State
having several times cauvoM- it on tbo
iuoU important polejual occasions.
Aliases--.
A colcmpomry calls to mind the i
fact that the present cognomen of j
the Kadieal candidate for Vice j
President is not his real patro
nymic, but that the Ilcnry Wilson
of to-day is the identical individ
ual that was ycleped Jeremiah Col
baith, while he lay in his mothers
cradle. The allusion to this singu
la! fact recalls another as singular,
which was vouched for some few
years ago by Uncle Jesse Grant,
now postmaster at Covington, Ken
tucky, and published over his own
signature in the New York ledger, j
to the effect that Ulysses S. Grant j
is not the real and true name of the
present Executive of the United
States, but that lie was named bv
his father and mother at his birth, j
II tram Ulysses Grant, which is j
now irallvVw name. And it must !
also be noted as a very singular
fact that these two men, now sail
ing under aliases, are jointly the
candidates of a great party, which
is also parading itself before the
country tinder a fictitious cogno
men. It styles itself a Kepubliean
tarty, when in fact it is a party of
monarchy and despotism. The
Kepubliean journals, so-called,
throughout the land, have at pres
ent the following announcement
floating at the head of their col
nines :
Kepubliean Ticket.
For President,
Ulysses S. Grant.
For Vice President,
Henry Wilson.
Xow if the real facts of the case j
were stated, the announcement
would read just as follows:
Alonachists Ticket.
Por President,
Hi ram I". Grant.
Por Vice President,
Jeremiah C o I b a i t h .
Why catvt these men and that
party be honest for once, and call
themselves by their right names.
Honest men are not afraid to be
called by their real names. It is
only the dangerous cabal that will
profess one faith and follow anoth
er. Put such a cabal is the Padi
cal nnrtv, as the history of its
whole existence well attests. And
it is, therefore, eminently in ac
cordance with the eternal fitness of
things that its present standard
bearers should both be men who
are sailing under aliases.
V? ho tYere 'Hissed.
Speaking of the jio-soind of the
Philadelphia Convention, the New
York Tribune says : We miss from
its counsels nearly all the leaders
who made the early career of the
party illustrious. We miss Charles
Sumner, who has been for a quarter
of a century the apostles ot Re
publican ideas ; Carl Schurz, who
is to-day the most brilliant Kepub
liean orator; Lyman Trumbull,
one of the foremost Republican
statesmen and jurists; Adams,
the ablest and most cultivated of
Republican diplomatists. In their
places we have Pomeroy and
Chandler and Flanagan, Thomas
Murphy and Charles S. Spencer.
Of the journalists who had more
to do with the formation and suc
cess of the party than even the
politicians, almost every one is ab
sent. Por White and Medill, and
llalstead, and Bowles, and God
win, and Bryant, and Greeley, we
have the editors of the Xew York
Times and the New York fctend
tirdy and many a score of village
publicists who swell their income
from post-ofiices and assessorships
with the proiits of a country print
ing ofiiee.
Wk Concl'K. Some of our ex
changes are in favor of the West
and the South uniting at Balti
more, and retire Mr. Belmont, the
present Chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committee, to ob
scurity. We concur. We regard
him as the "Old man of the Sea"
who, as in the case of Sinbad
the Sailor, rode the Democratic
part- nearly to death in the nomi
nations of Seymour and Blair.
Away with him !
No Kr to Til km. The Badicali of
South Carolina are a godless sot of
knaves, who having bankrupted ihe State
by their robberies and reduced the people
to povertj- in this world, now essay to
prevent them laying up treasure in heaven,

Womanly Weapons.
A San Francisco telegram of the
25th ult., narrates to its Low that
Mrs. Emily Pitts Stevens, a Wo-
man Suffrage politician of that
place5because she had been checked
by a Mr. Meeker for disturbing an
anti-woman suffrage assemblage,
got a pistol and went after the
aforesaid Mr. Meeker to shoct him.
To what are we coming? These
advocates of woman suffrage have
been telling us all along that only
let women have a voice in pub'ic
affairs, and all rowdvism would
cease, and that the male Hon ana
the female lamb would go pcacea-
biv to the polls, a nine emiu lead
ing them. Put this fine pictuic,
drawn by skillful artists and so
pleasing to a staid puonc, nas .ui
at once been blackened by Mrs.
Emily Pitt Stevens. Oh, Emily,
how could you be so cruel as to
thus abruptly spoil the happy de
lusion ? We were fast becoming
converted. to the doctrine of wo
man's suffrage by the delightful
im'.iii w u ii;iu ui iin iat' t.iiiiiiMiiL:
l ..I .tY
with lovely lasses and buxiom
dames, ami of jloating dreamily up
to the polls amid waves of spotless
crinoline, when all at once we are
suddenly and painfully awakened
from the dream, to find out that
these female politicians propose to
carry their points in politics by
leveling six-shooters, all cocked
and loaded, at the head of any
masculine individual that opposes
them. Is this the reform in the
dirty pool of polities that woman
KuftYatre is to bring about ? Are
these the weapons these female suf-
j fragists propose to use? We had
j loudly supposed that their weapons
would be those powerful ones with
! which woman has really swayed
j the destinies of the world for these
i long six thousand years, and sup
posing that, we had fears that they
would ultimntcly triumph. Put
now that these suffragists have fal
len back on the weapons of warfare
used by the sterner sex, wc have
no fears whatever. Women will
aMvays be as awkward in shooting
pistols as they arc m throwing
stones and climbing trees. We
are happy, however, to note that
Lmily didn't shoot. If she had,
Meeker would not have been near
as apt to have fainted from loss of
blood as would Emily from a shock
to her nerves. We suggest to
Emily next time she goes to war,
that the broomstick would be much
more etlective in her hands than a
pistol. In conclusion, -as one of
the editorial fraternity of Oregon,
wc express the hope that these
Emily Pitt Stevens tactics may not
be adopted by the female suffrag
ists of Oregon. If they are, we
shall be compelled, in self-defense,
to buckle on our armor, and we
warn them, if we become aroused,
we ma j
"carry tiie war into Afri
ca and storm tiio very breast
works of the enemy, lint in the
laneruatze ol Orant, we say. "L

Disreputable Charade

Forney's paper, t!ie I'hiladelphia

sembling of Grant's Convention,
that "a large number of thieves
and disreputable characters are ar
riving in the city to nroy utiou the
strangers who visit the Conven
tion." Is it probable, remarks the
Xew York Sun, that these thieves
irom abroad and "disreputable
characters generally would find
anything to object lo in the prin
ciple laid down in the subjoined

The following from the lLr tlil, woi H
indicate fiat our Railroad King is about
to take tl e Cupital to his town on iheeast
side of the river at Portland, and that en?
loyal friends of Salem will soon have to
bid farewell to their future anticipated
greatness as the Capital of the State, with
bor mignificent mansions
It is well kno va at least to a few. thct
the permanent location of the Slate Cap
ital will cut a prominent figure in the pro
ceedings of the next Legislature. It h
also well known to a majority of our cit
izens that- onr ainbiiions neighbor on the
oile r side of the river has Uiken a chance
in the lottery, and has more than one rea-
sou to believe ihatshe will draw the prize,
What those reasons are the reader can
iff
bet imagine, tor we are not at r.uertv to
disclose, they having been V.hispered to
ii under the soh-mn pledge of secrecy.
We can say however, that the umtiitioin
little city, with commendable Zealand en
terprise, wonderful in one so young, is
.straining every nerve mid doing all in her
power to ;o-cn:;!p lish tl e deired end. In
this iir!i!er!akinr she lias been assisted by
a number of influential gentlemen w
reside on this ride of the river. A met- G
i:ig of the friends of ihe movement, we
are informed, wns held in ihi.citj one

aiithm i.ed to say. thai in the event tr
action of the Legislature was lavorabie
several acres of hind would be denoted
to Ihe State for the purpose of erecting

1 Senator Bayard, of Deleware, don't
think the Democracy ought to en-
ml O
dorse Greeley. He says: "I can
not think that the Democratic
masses will barter away their
grand and simple party faith to
follow an eccentric nomination
which defeats every theory of wis
dom, propriety and justice which
has ever been advanced for the
control of our party movements.'
A Vital Thrust. The Louis
ville (Jvurier-Journed gives the
President and his negro-equality
blowers a vital thrust, by remind--ing
them of the fact that "when
Grant invited the San Domingo
Commissioner to dine at the AVhit"
House, I red JJoicjlass icosthe only
one cselndcd.
liKTTKit Bi-;i-i:kskntativks. Ben IJnflcr
thinks that he should have been nomi
nated for Vice President, on the ticket
with Grant, instead ot Wilson. Such a
pair, rem irks the Detroit Union, would
tiae better represented Radicalism a re
ceiver and a thief.
