Our Simula nl Hearers.
The Democratic State Convention,
which met at Albany on the 18th
inst., plaer.l in the field a ticket that
should, as we doubt not will, receive
-the united and hearty support of
every Democrat and true reformer
ia the Stato. The platform has the
true rin reform, and expresses
emphatic opposition to every evil
complained of by onr citizens. The
men on the ticket come up in every
sense to tie requirements of the
times.
Hon. Go :. A. LaDow, the nominee
for Congro v, i.s a citizen of Umatilla
county, an. free from the slightest
suspicion of corruption. He was a
member of -the last Legislature , and
as such, f.cquitted himself in the
face of all sorts of temptations with
honor to himself and credit to his
constituents. lie is

and
when he takes las seat in Congress,
will be a member in whom our cit
izens can place the most complete
con fid once.
The renomination of Governor
Grover by; acclimation, is but a
spontaneous expression of the peo
ple. He is the universal choice of
the people,: and this compliment is
but a just expression for his faithful
services during the past four years.
He ha; ma-lu the best and moat effi
cient Kxeeiitive the State has had,
and throu.L'.i his efforts Oregon can
now present an administration for
economy ;vid honesty which is the
envy of o'r opponents. That the
Governor h is committed some errors
in his appt intments none will deny,
and none will claim that another
would not have done likewise. 1'ut
there can be no objections '..seil
against his Glacial acts, and the peo
ple will re-elect him by a greater
majority than he received before.
The nomination of Hon. S. F.
Chadwick, the present Secretary of
State, was also made by acclamation.
Thi3 was expected by the people
everywhere, as no man can deny but
what he is an honest man, an efficient
and faithhil officer, and has conduct
ed his Inarch of the State depart
ment to th . entire fatisf action of the
people. His election is beyond a
question.
Tor the nomination of State Treas
urer, a waim contest was had be
tween the friends of L. Flitschner,
Esq., H. Klippel, Esq., and Hon.
A. II. Brown, the latter of whom
received the nomination. Thechoice
of the Convention fell upon one who
is in every respect worthy of the
honor. Mr. Brown is a citizen of
Baker county, and is held in the
highest est eem by all who know him.
He has represented that county in
the State Senate for the past four
j ears, and as a member of that bod v,
his integnty has never been ques
tioned, ai.d his zeal and industry in
behalf of Eastern Oregon and the
entire Si.ito are matters of record
which art a credit to a faithful and
honest representative. He will re
ceive an almost united vote from
Eastern Oregon, and be elected be
yond a question.
Mr. M. V. Brown, of the Albany
Djnwrnt, is the nominee for State
Printer. As is generally the case,
the printing fraternity all claim con
sideration at the hands of the Con
vention, but as only one can receive
the nomination, we regard the selec
tion of Mr. Brown as very proper
and just. He is in a very large
Democratic county, is a practical
printer, and the publisher and editor
pf one of the best papers in the
State. He has ever been ready to
do good service to elevate others to
positions, and we have no doubt but
the democratic press will heartily
and unitedlv labor to seenre the
elevation of one the craft totbepo-
sition for which he was nominated ! cial District to make its nominations ' said nothing of the kind. He paid
by the Convention. for district officers at some future a very handsome compliment to Mr.
Dr. J. E. Dawne, of Salem, is the time, the Coention to meet at the LaDow's abilities and integrity, and
the nominee for Superintendent of call of the Chairman. At a meeting stated that he would make an effect
Public Instructions. He is a thor- of the delegates from this district, ive and iinv.. r,-r.
ough scholar, a man intimately
iu'lentirld -ith ths educationel in
V : V
terests of our State. He has been
for several years past the financial
agent of the Agricultural College,
and as Buch, has made that institu
tion a complete success. He is a
live man, and the educational inter
ests of our State will be well attend
ed to if placed in his charge.
The ticket, as a whole, is one which
no Democrat need be ashamed. It
is worthy of their hearty support,
and we have every reason to believe
that the action of the Albany Con
vention Avill be heartily endorsed by
the election of the entire ticket by
an overwhelming majority on the
first Monday of June. It has the
men upon it which have been tried
and are known for their purity of
character, political houesty, and
competency for the various positions
for which they have been selected.
Let us work from now until the close
of the polls, on the first Monday of
June, for its triumphant election.
.
The nciiton Democrat.
By private letter from Corvallis,
we learn that J. C. Avery has pur
chased the material of the Benton
Democrat, and will take charge of its
editorial management. He proposes
to support the "Independents" or
" Keformers," as they are called.
Those who are familiar with Mr.
Avery's past political aspirations,
and have seen him disappointed from
vear to vear, will not be astonished
at this. He personally dislikes Gov.
Grover, and will do all in his power
to defeat his election. It is purely a
personally fight, in which he will
find the Democrats of Benton will
not support him. Mr. Head, who
has made a good Democratic paper,
will retire from the concern. The
letter also states that Hon. John
Burnett and Mr. Avery are " polit
ically dead in Benton county, with
the Democracy." If Mr. Avery
expects to get the Democracy of
Benton to follow him and vindicate
his hatred of the Governor, he will
find himself disappointed as much
as ho has been in his asjuration to be
Governor, and his opposition will
only result in the true friends of re
form giving the Democratic ticket
a more hearty support. Kenegades,
who have pot had their ambitions
satisfied by the Democracy, will have
but little influence in defeating the
choice of the Denocraey as express
ed by theConvention, ami Mr. Avery
will find on the first Monday in Juno
that the people take no stock in bis
personal war upon individuals who
are preferred to himself, besides he
will ascertain that a personal organ
is of neither pucuniary or iolitieal
advantage. Having in the past had
a high opinion of Mr. Avery's polit
ical integrity, we can but regret that
he lias allowed his prejudices to get
the better of his judgment.
Is it the Same One f
AVc see in the Baker City papers
that one O. L. Sterns announces him
self as an independent candidate for
State Senator. Is this O. L. Sterns
the same fellow who held a seat in
the State Senate from Grant county in
I860, on a certificate that bad been
given him through fraud ? And is he
the same fellow who disgraced that
body by being constantly drunk?
And is he the same fellow who held
his seat illegally until the close of
the session, and voted for "Williams
when he knew he had no right to the
seat he disgraced? And is he the
same fellow that has never dared to
go back to the county which he
fraudulently represented? And is ho
the same fellow that obtained from
a Badical Senate sixty days to get
testimony as to his right to the seat
in the Senate? It strikes us that this
is the same individual, and if it is,
we hope the people of Baker county
will remember that they were dis
graced two years ago by Ostien, and
that tins fellow
even worse.
Sterns would bo
United. All the Democratic pa
pers of the State which have been
received at this office since the ad
journment of the Albany Convention,
have the names of the candidates at
the mast-head, and heartily endorse
the ticket placed in the field. - That
is what we expected, and the hope of
our opponents that some who did
not receive nominations or get their
first choice, would ' bolt," has van
ished. Democrats fight for princi
ple and not men, and when the
convention, by a fair and honest
expression, puts forth its standard
bearers, they' are ready to go into
the fight to win. With united ac
tion, our victory is sure.
Hexomin-ated. The Delegates
from the Fifth Judicial District have
renominated "W. B. Lasswell, Esq.,
as a candidate for Prosecuting At
torney for that district. This Is the
fourth time that Mr. Lasswell ha
been the unanimous choice of the
party for that position, and shows
that he must ha a good officer and
popular with the people. He will
be re-elected by a large majority
and probably he will not even have
an opponent.

tion was passed by the State Conven-
tion, authorizing the Fourth Jndi-

A Letter from Washington Territory.
Colfax, W. T., )
March 14th, 1874. f
Editor Enterprise: A few words
in regard to to the Palouse country,
will probably not be wholly devoid
of interest to your readers. Last
Spring was rather backward some
snow in April, about the 15th. How
ever, most people had a good portion
of their gardens in; and as the snow
melted as fast as it fell, no damage
was done to gardens or crops. I nev
er saw finer vegetables grow in any
country than grew here last year.
Farmers, also, realized from 45 to CO
bushels of wheat per acre; and of
oats, rye, barley and other grain in
proportion. Most farmers sowed on
sod, as it was their first season in the
country. About the 21st of August
we had the first frost, which, howev
er, did little damage, except to mel
on vines and the most sensitive gar
den plants.
The first snow worthy of attention
fell Nov. 27th, and before the grouud
was bare it reached the depth of 14
inches, but only remained at that
depth for a few days. We have had
snow at intervals, since, averaging
from four to five inches. About the
15th of Dec. we had a few days of
rather cold weather. About day
light one morning the thermometer
indicated ten deg. below zero, and
stood below the three or four follow
ing days. We had comparatively
mild weather from then until Feb.
9th, when the thermometer v as again
down to zero some say below.
Whitman county is embraced by
Columbia and Snake rivers, extend
ing north about 50 miles from Snake
river to Stevens county, and east
from Columbia about 100 miles, to
the Idaho line- It includes about
4,000 square miles, most of which is
the very best of farming land. Un
like the prairie lands of Eastern Or
egon. the soil is all fertile, never re
quiring irrigation. Indeed, 1 have
noticed that the best crops grow on
the hills, where the soil is almost
universally found to be of black
loam, from three to four feet in depth
underlying which there is a white
clay, which prevents the soil from
drying out. Grass is also abundant,
and io said to be better for stock t han
the rrass about the Dalles and Walla
Walla.
The population of this county
one year ago was about 1,000, and
will no doubt far exceed that num
ber this year. Colfax, the county
seat, was located in Nov. 1872, in the
forks of Palouse, near the center of
the county. It now contains a saw
mill, store, hotel, livery-stable cabi
net shop, blacksmith-shop, school
house, and an excellent flouring mill,
recently erected by J. C. Davenport.
A shingle mill is also in contempla
tion, and will probably le in opera
tion in a few months. A school is
kept up nine months in the year, at
which students can take the regular
course of studies. The great draw
back to this country has been the
scarcity of money, which, however,
will be more plentiful hereafter, as
the great drain is now checked by the
erectiou of a flouring mill. Hereto
fore, people of this county have been
compelled to get all their flour from
Waitsburg, a distance of 75 miles;
now it can be hail at home, at Waits
burg prices. No doubt wheat and
other prod u co will soon be shipped
from here to the Portland market,
as a warehouse is now being built at
the month of Penawawa, on Snake
river, 22 miles from Colfax.
In conclusion I would say tt- all
industrious, enterprising men, who
wish homes in a fair, pure, and
healthful climate, where the soil will
yield them an abundance for their
labors, here is the place. Come and
see for yourselves, and thus be con
vinced of its superior advantages.
J. E. Edmiston.
The Veto Power.
The Badical press appoars to be
very anxious to throw the odium of
the last Legislature on the shoulders
of the Governor, and argues that he
ought to have vetoed all the obnox
ious laws passed by that body. This
is simply cheek. The Governor did
veto a large number of bills, but it
was not for him to exercise this pre
rogative unless he could do so upon
constitutional grounds, or it was ap
parent that the acts had been passed
by fraudulent means. The Governor
has no right to set up his judgment
in defiance of the elected representa
tives of the people, and hence it
would have laid him liable to im
peachment had he used his veto pow
er indiscriminately. The members
of the Legislature are the ones who
are responsible to the people, and not
the Governor. And as that body was
largely radical, the people know who
to hold accountable for the outrages,
laws, and extravagance perpetrated
by that body. Governor Grover did
exercise this power to a great extent.
In fact, he vetoeil more bills than all
the rest of the Governors of Oregon
that preceded him. The infamy of
the last Legislature is rather burden
some. The Radicals might as well
hold the Governor responsible for
the members who sold themselves for
surveying contracts, as to hold him
accountable for the infamous laws
which they passed.
A correspondent to the Oregonian
from Salem, stated that the Hon. J.
H. Slater, in his speech at the ratifi-
j cation meeting at that place, said
that he nppeared in behalf of Mr.
LaDow. as that srentleman was not a
speaker. Mr. LaDow was not nros-
ent, and oonsenuentlv could not an-
pear on the stand "Rut Mr Rktr

Washington, March 22. The
President characterizes as untrue the
statement published that he lias in

if Ikj. was a member of Congress he
would resent an intimation by the
Executive of a veto in advanco of

The President to-day signed the
act to prevent the extermination of

The Radical press seems to hn ter
ribly exercised over the clause in tho
Democratic platform favoring the re
peal of the Litigant Act, and asserts
that it is a "lick at tho Governor"
for vetoing the bill of the last Legis
lature. Not all, gentlemen. The
Governor vetoed the bill on the
ground that its repeal at that time
would lead to litigation, as the act
then in force, gave a franchise to the
papers which had complied with its
provisions for a term of four years.
