The proper method of treating ihis official criminal is. not to abuse him with billingsgate from the stump, but rather to signify to Senator Kelly that it is due to his own honorable position as a "Senator, to the fair fame of this State and Jo the dignified body of which he is a member, that he should call for an investigation of the grave charges against his-col-lsafftie, and if substantiated, to vote for his expulsion. The proper issue for the Democrat- ic party to make is one principle and not one of personal abuse and tki proper candidate to nominate is a steadfast Democrat and not a notor- ious political wenihercock. The old satvr who expelled from his cave the man -who blowed on his lingers to warm them and in his mulled wine to cool it, because he would have noth ing to do -with a man w ho would blow both hot and cold from the same f wa?r3fc. - mouth furnishes an example for our next State Convention. If should nominate no man who at one time can rail at monopolies and then again can work for them. The Democracy of Oregon should at least show as much wisdom as a person who was half beast lest.
