District Nominations.
The Democratic delegates from this
Judicial District met at Portland
last Saturday an endorsed the dis
trict nominations made by the Peo
ple's Nominating Committee, which
was composed of the most influential
and wealthy citizens of Portland.
The delegation wr. full, there being
21 out of the 20 votes present, either
in person or by proxy, of which the
resolution to endorse the nominees
received 22 votes to two ng-ainst.
This shows that the delegates were
nearly a unit. Hon. E. D. Shattnek
was the choice for Judge and II. Y.
Thompson, Esq., for Prosecuting
Attorney. Judge Shattnek is well
and favorably known to our citizens.
He has held the position before, and
in the discharge pf his duty gave
universal satisfaction. He has ever
been regarded as one of the ablest,
pmist and most impartial Judges

not such as any person can object to I

that desires to see the bench free i

in the past four years, Judge Shat
tnek has been a Republican, but be
coming disgusted with the corruption
and dishonesty of that party, he took
his departure from it, and has since
acted with what are now known as
Independents. He is just the man,
by both education and practice, to
be placed on the bench of this Dis
trict a ;d he will discharge the du
tics of the position with honor to
himself and satisfaction to the peo
ple." His opponent is too well known
for us to make ft comparison. No
man will say that he possesses the
first qualification for the high posi
tion he is seeking. . He is bigoted
politically, a very inferior lawyer,
and his integrity is anything above
question. The people will no doubt
givo their almost united support to
Judge E. D. Shattnek, and elect him
by a handsome majority on the first
O
Monday in June for their Judge for
the ensuing six years.
The nominee for District Attorney,
II. Y. Thompson, is a young man of
excellent abilities and has the repu
tation of being honest and faithful
in the discharge of any duty confer
red upon him. Ho has been hereto
fore a Republican, but for some time
past Ins acted wi-h the anti-Ring
portion of the Radical party, or in
other words, with those who refused
to wear the Mitchell-Holladay-Cns-tom-House
collar. He will undoubt
edly get away with Caples'-Moreland,
aud be elected by a round majority.
The ticket is a goo.1 one, and Demo
crats can vote for it with a hearty
will, being assured tjiat they will

The Independent ticket.
We have heretofore noticed one
Radical ticket,and it may be neces
sary for us to ask the indulgence of
our readers in devoting space to the
one placed in nomination last week
by what is termed the "Independ
ent Convention." All that these
Independents claim to be opposed
to, the Democracy have fought
against, and as their objections are
made against the old, but now de
funct Radical party, we regard this
more us only a step for the bet
ter element of the Radical party to
get up something that will not be
tainted by the corruption and disgrace-they
have placed upon them
selves in the past. This being the
case, it is simply a ticket placed in
the field by which honest Radicals
can have candidates to vote for, who
still persist in keeping out of the
Democratic party. That there are
a few aspirants and would be officers
in this Independent movement who
have heretofore voted the Democratic
ticket, we most freely admit; but
as they are a class who have ever
been troublesome within the party,
we cannot say that we feel their loss.
With this preface, we propose to
review the ticket placed in the field
by the Independents, and will say,
in the start, that the Radicals on it
are superior in every respect to those
on the straight ticket.
Tim Davenport is the nominee for
Congress. He is a farmer in Marion
county; a man of more than ordina
ry ability; a Radical of the deepest
kind, being fully up to Simmer in
his negro proclivities; is bigoted and
intolerent in his views; was a mem
of the notorious Woods Legislature
in 1SG3, which cost the State more j

party can ever do again. lie was
the leader of the seeeders, and must
have been iu alliance with Woods
and his administration to break up
that body before they passed the ap
propriation bill, by which means
over $250,000 of the State money re
mained loeked up and the people
had. to pay interest on it. This cost
the State at least i?:0,000, and we
presume Tim gut something for the
part lie played in the outrage. He
is well versed in Republican elec
tioneering tactics, and wc have no
doubt he will make it warm for his
other Radical opponent, Dick Yil
liams, who now wears the yoke of
the Custom House Ring. He will
try to get Dick out, and if the Ring
will only support Tim, he will take
the yoke oil of Dick's neck and
wear it. It is only a light between
the outs of the Radical party and the
ins in this ca: e.
I'or Governor they have put in nom
ination a man named ' Rev. T. F.
Campbell, of the Christian Church,

claimed to be of Democratic ante

anxious for cilice, ifrifd as the Dem
ocratic State Convention refused to

He got a little notoriety in a debate
between the""' Free Thinker Under
wood and himself, in which it is said
that Underwood cleaned him out
badly. He is a man evidently seek
ing public notice, and to that end
submits his name to be used by any
and all conventions that will give it
consideration. He is said to be a
fair preacher, and the people will let
him quietly follow that high calling
after the first of June next.
Uncle Jimmy Douthit, as good
a man as there is in Oregon, has re
ceived the nomination for Secretary
of State. Uncle Jimmy don't want
the office, and as his qualifications
are such as to totally unlit him for
the position, ho will not be called
upon to discharge a duty he is not
httcd for.
D. Reach, of All sany, is the nomi
nee for State Treasurer. He is said
to be a good man, a sound Radical
and has always been such. He will
not be required to hunt up bonds
men, as Rrown will Reach him on
the banks of Salt river so effectually
that the wreck will hardly be able to

The Opening Speech.
Uncle Jimmy Douthit, as he is
fnmiliarlv called, at the request ol
a number of our citizens, opened
the campaiu on the side of the In-
denendents in this city last 1 nday
evenin"-. There was but limited no
tice given, yet quite a respectable
assemblage greeted him, and the
utmost attention was paid to his
remarks. He spoke for about an
hour, and showed evident signs that
he had just returned from a love
feast, and that his heart was still full
of the milk of human kindness for
the whole race of mankind. lie
lauded his opponent, and declared
that he knew he had made a good
and faithful officer, that the princi
ples of the Democracy were still as
good as they had been in days past,
but that it was necessary for a third
party to heal up the wounds and
make clear way for all mankind to
act together. That parties were no
longer needed. Ho depreciated the
idea of a man having to be abused
when he came out for office, and
counseled -us not to resort to that
mode in order to defeat our oppo
nents. The speaker had no fault to
find with the Democracy, and did
not seem to have any against the
Radicals. He simply based his de
sertion of the party to which he had
formerly belonged, on the ground
that there was no more use for party
organizatiots. This is a remarkable
positon. Suppose the Independents
get into power, will not that create
a partj-? It most assuredly will.
Rut as there is no probability of such
an event, we will dismiss the subject
by saying that there was not any
preemptible enthusiasm manifested
in his behalf, and as he said that he
did not care for his ow n success, he
will lind on the first Monday in June
that the voters will re-elect S F.
Chad wick, who, as he said, has made
a faithful and honest ollicer.
Democratic District Convention. .
The Democratic District Conven
tion for the fourth Judicial District
met in Portland at 1 i m. to-dav, in
pursuance of a call by S. Huelat,
Chairman.
On motion of Mr. E. Scruple,
Col. AY. I,. White, of Clackamas,
was chosen Chairman. . On motion of
M. Seller, of Multnomah, Eugene
Semple was chosen Secretary.
Mr. Rellinger, of Multnomah, in
troduced the following resolution,
and moved its adoption:
AV-orev, That the nomination of
Ik I). Shattnek for Judge, and II.
Y. Thompson for Prosecuting Attor
ney in this Judicial District, by the
1 eoplo s
Nominating Committee
meets the hearty approval of this
Convention, and we recommend said
ticket to the Democracy of this Dis
trict for their support.
After .some debate the resolution
was adopted by the following vote:
Ayes, 22; nays, 2; absent, 2.
On motion, the Committee ad
journed. y, u: ltfth iust.
" Ixiki'j-:nki:xt P-LATronM." We
publish on our fourth page this week
the platform adopted by the " Inde
pendents." Whore it relules to State
matters, it is very similar in its de
mauds to the Democratic platform
adopted a month or more ago, and
which these Independents have cop
ied. That which alludes to finding
fault with the National Administra
tion is just what we have been long
trying to learn the Radicals. There
is a very modest thrust at Senator
Mitchell, and all will agree that it is
a better platform for Radicals to
repent on than the one adopted by
the Custom House Ring. Let Rad
icals undo the work they have been
so active in fastening ou the people,
and Democrats will correct all the
evils complained of within their
own organization, as their own plat
form is emphatic on all questions at
issue.
. S v v. K o r x ixgs. Uncle Jimmy
Douthit, in his talk in this city last
Saturday, acknowledged that the
Democratic candidates were all good
men, but stated that the old parties
were surrounded with bad men aud
evil influences. Could any man im
agine any worse surroundings for a
party than those which are about the
Independents. See Ren. Harding,
J. C. Avery, Sam Clark-e, G. W.
Lawson. Jas. F. Gazley, Ringer Her
man, R. R. Riddle, and a host of
other old broken down political trick
sters, who have been disowned by
their respective parties. Uncle Jim
my starts off with bad company in
the commencement.
How's This? The Ring candidate
for District Judge, W. Carey John
son, said in a speech at a meeting of
the woman suffragists not long since
that he was in favor of running a
woman suffragist ticket in this county
at the forthcoming election. Per
haps W. Carey wants another en
dorsement, as his opponent has too
great an advantage of him having
been nominated by three Conven
tions, either of which are stronger
than the one that placed him ou the
Ring scaffold. He is open for an
endorsement from the "bald-headed
experienced men."
The Radicals have a plank in their
platform in which they declare them-
selvcs opposed to the interference of
1-eaenU ollicials instate elections.

The Crusaders.
The trial of the women arrested
m i 1 1 I T n .
in i'oruanu last x nuay lor congre-
gating around a saloon in that city,
, a id, as they termed it, crusading
against ine liquor ixamc, nas causea
a considerable excitement all over
the State. The ladies demanded
and received a jury trial. They
were found guilty of the charge of
riotous conduct, and fined $5 and
costs. This may end the " crusade"
movement, aud bring sensible people
to look at it in its true light. A few
ministers of the Gospel and a few
fanatics have urged the weaker sex
to take .this unusual course to dry
up the evil of the liquor traffic. It
probably has had an effect in some
places to arouse the true friend3 of
temperance reform to actiou, but as
one of our citizens remarked the
other evening, it has done more
harm in the last three months than
the friends of temperance can repair
in the next ten years. Those engag
ed in the crusade, in the main, are
no doubt sincere, but we think they
will fail to accomplish any lasting
good, from the fact that those engag
ed in the liquor trade have the guar
anteed right from the government to
tell, and they are more industrious
in having their rights defended than
are the friends of temperance.
Again, until the manufacture of liq
uors is prohibited it will be impos
sible to prevent its being bought and
sold. We have laws regulating in a
measure, the licensing of liquor
selling which are almost unknown to
temperance advocates. Ordinance
No. i5, of the laws of this city, pass
ed in 18o0, if brought to a test
Would prohibit the saloons from ob
taining licenses; but the evil done
is not attributed alone to saloons r.s
there are groceries that sell, under
cover of license, more liquor
than tho saloons. So lor.g as
liquor selling is made a legal busi
ness, by the government licensing
distilleries and breweries, and our
Stale and municipalities saloons and
groceries, so long will men engace
in tlie business. Those who favor
the crusade movement are disposed
to classjLheir friends who oppose it
with w hat they term 'the " whisky
boys." A house divided against
itself cannot stand. An effort to get
up a crusade in this place has been,
and is still being attempted; and we
hope our ladies will not so far forget
themselves as to do as those in Port
land have done. If they choose to
do anything for the temperance
cause, let them urge their male
friends to be temperate; let them
petition the City Collector m,t to
grant licenses to any iersons to vend
liquor, and if they can get a maj-u-ty
of the voters to si-ii s;u h i. (!-

The Red Rock DdDiO'-ru', published
at Baker City, the homo of our next
State Treasurer, has this to say of
him:
Hon. A. II. Brown, of Baker City,
our candidate for State Treasurer, is
an old resident of Fastern Oregon,
and is known by all of us lu re as
being a good, honest, faithful and
capable business man, with ability
to fill any position tho people may
see fit to place him in with honor i
l - 1:4. 1 ,ir i r ..: -1 . I St
and credit to himself and friends. I
He is not a chronic office seeker or
politician, but instead is one of our
best and most substantial farmers.
He owns and works one of the best
farms in Baker county. He is a live
man, an t will carry Eastern Oregon
by at least 1,000 majority, and will
run ahead of his ticket in Baker
county! from one hundred to two
hundred votes.
We learn that Bush' Wilson, of
Benton county, tho Radical candi
date for County Clerk, denies being
the author of the present fee bill.
It is true the Senate cut it down
somewhat from the original bill as
introduced in the Lower House by
(Jingles; but we assert positively
that Bush Wilson declared in Salem
that he was the author of the bill
and that it was only re-acting the old
fee bill. This he must have known
to be false, as it materially increases
the fees. Rush now must go down
with his iniquity.

Nominated. Tlie Independents
have placed in nomination that polit
ical prostitute, O. Humason, of the
Dalles, for Prosecuting Attorney of
tbe Fifth Judicial District, We are
glad he has got a nomination, so
that the voters of that section can
give him an idea of their apprecia
tion of him. He will be defeated
beyond a doubt, aud deserves to be.
Refuses. The Albany !jiser
thus far has failed to support tho
Ring ticket. The foeyister is the U.
S. official paper fcr Oregon, and yet
it fails to support the Administra
tion ticket. This paper was sound
on the Ring question uutil after the
Convention placed in the field the
ticket. Straws show which way the
wind blows.

We are. informed that W. Carey
Johnson, the Ring candidate for
Judge of this District, proposes to
have five thousand copies of tlie Jo
Thomas, or rather Joseph C. Nixon,
testimony published for distribution
in this district. We would suggest
that he also add the testimony of Jo
Thomas where he swears that he is
Joseph C. Nixon, the evidence of
this man's wife and daugher and the
little catachism which was written
for said Joseph to swear to. This
would be but fair, to give both sides
of the story. As Jo Thomas, Nixon,
or whatever his name is, is now en
gaged at his old occupation of beg
ging, it would probably be well to
add that fact also to the forthcoming
publication. His little transaction
in getting fraudulent returns made
frtmi Linn City precinct two years
ago, aud being the means of two
judges of election violating, not
only law, but their sworn duty,
might also be added to this proposed
publication. It will take over 5,000
copies to convince tho people that
W.Carey Johnson is a proper man
to place on the bench. It would be
just as well to save tho expense of
this little job, as Carey will be snug
ly tucked away by the voters of this
district, and Hon. E. D. Shattnek,
whose character docs not need five
thousand copies of any testimony
published to sustain it, will take the
seat on the bench.
C. M. I'oster.
A correspondent to the Orerjovlan,
writing from Raker City, gives us
this information in regard to C. M.
Foster, the Radical candidate for
Secretary of State. How do the !
voters like this picture of him?
Mr. I'oster will Lave several things
to explain in his past political career
before election, prominent among
w hich will be all about a letter he
wrote to one Geo Sioeum w hile he
(F.) was County Cltik of tin's coun
ty in the year 180f, in which he di
rected said Slocum to keep back the
poll 1 looks of Jordan valley precinct
until after the expiration of ten days
after the election, if said precinct
should cast a Democratic majority.
If C. M. I'., or any of his partisan
friends, deny this, the proof will be
brought with the letter he wrote on
the subject. His conduct, too, as
Federal Deputy Mineral Land Sur
veyor, will not stand the scrutiny of
the public. It has been said that if
(Reeled Secretary of State, he would
hold it for life, because his oppor
tunity to carry out the principles
of the Sioeum letter' would le so
much greater that the returns would
always. show him (F.) as receiving a
majority of all the otos. It must
be remembered that F. was the nom
inee of his party at the election of
i'v!'j for re-election to the oflice of
Clerk of that county.
AYhile Mr. Dolph is acting proxy
j the people in regard to the lull he
1 introduced to increase flic Leaisla-
tun! ., yi he inform them the
amount he has increased the faxes
on the people by the passage of the
new apportionment bill? This Ring
leader was the getter up of this in
famy, and while he professes great
regard, for economy ttiere was not a
member iu the last Legislature who
was more recklessly extravagant.
Answers will be in order.

business which it should foster and

The Jacksonville Times
regrets
that Grover has announced himself
to speak so soon in that "place, lie
cause J. C. Tolnian and his friends
have not had time to get up his " ad
dress." It says they have sent for
scrap-book Odell, and hope to be
prepared for Tolman to deliver it in
one or two places before the election
is over.
Tho Democrats, by their victory
in Connecticut, gain a Democratic
U. S. Senator from that State. This
makes tho victory greater thau it
would have been had there been no
Senator to elect, as it is well known
that the Administration used every
effort within its its power to secure
a Radical Senator.
While both of the opposing plat
forms mention with favor the efforts
made Vy our farmers to organize for
self-protection, we see them make
no mention x against the "heathen
Chinee," who is taking the bread out
of the mouths of the laboring men
and women of our State, and who
do not consume any of the products
of our farms.
Ended. The struggle over the
vacant Senatorial seat from Massa
chusetts has been settled by the
election of Gov. Washburn, an anti
Butler man. The Butlerites are ter
ribly mortified over this result, and
matters do not look pleasant in that
State for the Radical cause in the
future. Let them quarrel; its none
of our fight.
Exormous. The cost of running
the General Government printing

million dollars. That i3 rather steen

ity between her and Spain. It is pre
ceded by a preamble setting forth
that it is the undoubted rigid- of any
American colony to declare its inde
pendence of its mother country; that
the people of Cuba have declared
their independence of Spain, estab
lished their own Government, abol
ished slavery, and for over five years
have maintained their position; that
war between Spain and Cuba lira
been and is conducted with shocking
barbarity, and that there is no rcas-
onable prospect that Spain will bo
able to re-establish her authority
over Cuba; that in conesquence of tho
proximity of the seat of war ihc con
test is injurious to tlie intoresrs o
tho people of the United States, and
that it is evident that its prolonga
tion will only protract suffering and
bloodshed, and result in tlie recogni
tion of Cuban independence by
Spam.
