Is our Par:y Demoralized I
Sane of onr Daiicratie exchanges
Care asking for a. reorganization of
the parky to heal np the broken
wound nnil close up the ranks for
future "battles. We cannot see where
reorganization in necessary. Many
of those vho left the Democratic
ranks and joined the Independents,
did so from a fueling of duty and
honest motives, and a desire to im
prove tbeir local or county adminis
tration. In Multnomah a$J Wash
ington the Democracy did not run
any tickets for county officers, they
being in a hopeless minority. Yet a
large portion of , the elected candi
dates are Democratic, and will on all
party measures act to sustain the
Democracy. In Benton. Douglas,
and in fact, in nearly all the coun
ties where the Independents made
any headway, the Radical -partJ wftS
largely in the majority, and it was a
desire to get ri i of this misrule
which caused Democrat and Repub
licans to unite for a common cause, j
and that was for ii change in county
administration. The same may ap
ply to counties where the Democrats
have had long control. Reorgani
zation for these counties must be
done at home, and the Denfoeraey,
if in office, must carry ontfaithfully
its pledges to the people, and reor
ganization will bo complete in such
disaffected places.
In Umatilla, the candidates for
county offices wee nearly all Demo
crats, the Legislative ticket being
entirely so, but owing to local differ
ences or jealousies, these men went
into the In impendent organization
for the purpose of changing local
oounty otlieers, und not upon any
p u ty question. The State ticket in
Umatilla receive 1 a larger majority
than heretofore. It was purely a
fight for the paving offices. The
best way to reorganize the party on
this question is to reduce the pay of
the officers in tl y various counties
bo as to make th?m equal in their
salaries to other occupations. As
csooa as this is do;ie, the offices will
not be sought after with such eager-
n as. and not cause the hot and bit
ter contests which are, as a rule, on
geudered. This should be one of
the lirst duties of our next Legisla
ture. The men who are candidates
before conventions should also be
learned that if the choice falls
on some other than themselves, that
they are in honor bound to give
them, not only their votes, but their
influence. There are men, we will
not call them Democrats, who let
their personal interests control them
entirely in their political conduct.
Such men are of no benefit to any
party, and they will not prove any
u. re faithful in the future to party
obliga ions by reorganization than
they have in the past. If they get
the nominations t;nd receive the offi
ces, they are over ready to support
the nominees; but if they are left
out, no matter how good the men
are who are put out by the party,
they either labor to defeat them or
give an iniiiiu-ivnt support to the
successful candidates. This was in
put the casein tijiis county at the
recent election. Aspirants who were
defeated for certain nominations,
o enly fought their successful com
petitors, and for i.o other cause only
that they did not receive the votes of
the convention themselves. This
was also the case with certain aspi
rants for State o;ficcs. When they
a- honorablv aed fairlv defeated
bjfore the convention, they gave
what intbieuea they possessed to the
opposition. We have no use for re
organization in behalf of this class,
and we can see no good there can
come by submitting to the dictates
of those who hae not sufficient po
litical integrity to support the ticket
after they had been defeated before
a convention". This principle of be
ing rather defeated before the people
than in convention, and after having
labored hard to "set up" a conven
tion for tuonths, 4nd then failing iu
getting nominations, is what, is the
matter with some who claim to be
pure and honest Democrats. The
reorganization Necessary for them
in the future is, let'them vote the
ticket that Item jcrat make if they
wis i. The party is not demoralized,
but a few sore-headed individuals
are, and when they lind that they
are but a very small handful, they
will soon conclude to reorganize
themselves and rot the party.

notice in the last issue-of tho Jack

drawn his editorial connection from

paper was run against the interests

supporters and patrons during the
late election, ard contrary to his
wishes. It was a straight Radical
organ, and we presume, as the coun
ty went strongly Democratic, he
m "ins be ought to have supported

The Portland Election.
Last Monday an election for threo
Councilmen took place at Portland.
The People's Nominating Committee
had placed before the public three
as good men and heavy taxpayers as
there are in Portland, while tho
Radicals, in conjunction with the
Crusaders, had placed in nomination
three very good men, but in no sense,
morally or otherwise, superior fb the
Peoples' candidates. The Radicals
eulogized the ticket and urged tbe
faithful to support it. But fate was
against them. The Crusaders feared
that their mission could not be ac
complished unless they took charge
of the polls. They did so, and soon
the Radical candidates were swallow
ed up by the Crusaders, and the end
was easily, foretold. We should
judge that the proceedings were but
little better than disgraceful. The
following circular was issued by the
Crusaders, and when it came out, the
people were universally disgusted.
Tiie circular is a base and wanton
slander, anil we are astonished at the
duplicity of any party in attempting
to carry an election by such means.
The Ballet i.i, of Tuesday, gave the
result as a People's and Crusade
contest. On Monday morning it
had a ticket; on Tuesday it did not.
The f jllowing is the circular. It is
nstrauge wav to reform partvpolitics:
voter's ijook of kemKjII'.haxce.
Voters of Portland, The Book of
Remembrance is this day opened,
and you are called upon to c oose
"whom ye will serve." On one hand
are found prostitutes, gamblers,
rumsellers, whisky topers, beer guz
zlers, wine bibbers, rum suckers,
hoodlums, loafers and ungodly men.
On the other hand are found Chris
tian wives, mothers, sisters, and
daughters of the good people of
Portland. You cannot serve two
master. You must be numbered
one or the other. Whom will you
choose ?
Remember the Temperance ticket.
Vote for it early and work for it all
day. It is the safe side.
Remember that this is a struggle
between virtue and vice. May you
be found on the side of virtue.
Remember that the success of
either of the other tickets is the sue- j
cess of whisky supported bv bad i
men and polluted women.
Remember that the whisky advo
cates employ prostitucs to insult
Christian women while praying and
reading the Holy Bible.
Remember that the police of Port
land arrest, line and imprison the
Christian women of Portland for
reading the Bible and praying.
Remember that the police of Port
land are devoted to the protection of
prostitutes, drunkenness and de
bauchery and the persecution and
punishment of virtue.
Remember that persons are known
by the company they keep. Birds
of a feather Hock together.
Remember that R. R. Thompson,
one of the whiskv candidates on one
of the whisky ticko s, served on the
jury that lined and imprisoned Chris
tian women in Portland for reading
the Bible and praying.
Remember that the police and city
police authority, wink at the flaunt
ing of prostitutes and silently endorse
their insulting""language, applied to
Christian women on the public streets
of Portland.
Remember tho honored name of
our city and its inhabitants, and
shield them from disgrace and the
rule of prostitutes and rumsellers,
by voting the temperance ticket.
Vote for temperance, and thereby
cast your influence on tho side of
God and humanity, for the upbuild
ing of a better civilization. If you
vote for tho opponents of temperance,
you vote for crime, hatred and vio
lence; for misrule, oppression and
wrong; for debauchery,' pauperism,
and the long catalogue of vices that
load the soul with heavy burdens of
shame and disgrace.
ftemember your duty, and do it so
well that it will stay done forever."
Remember thy duty to the mother
that bore thee; to the wife that con
tides in thee; to the sister that cher
ishes thee; to the children of thy
love, that they may not be cursed in
to being a father unworthy to bear
that sacred name".
Remember thy duty; quit you like
men and be strong. Vote for tem
perance, virtue, morality, and all the
blessings they confer. Be loyal to
the requirements of a better life, and
thy name shall be honored among
men, and thy life shall be made a
blessing to all who know thee.
" ote for school houses instead of
rum-hells; industry instead of pau
perism; factories instead of prisons,
and churches instead of houses of
infamy, and thy conscience shall be
thy great reward, and thy children
and thy children's children shall
arie and call thee blessed.
Let your name be enrolled this
day in the Book of Life. Be ye
workers together with God for the
putting down of the strongholds of
sin, and great shall be thv reward.
Thy journey shall be made peaceful
and prosperous, and thy end life
everlasting.
It is an old truism, whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad,
and if the women will persist in this
kind of devilUhness, they will soon
find that instead of their being a ben
efit in the cause of temperance, they
are but an instrument in the hands
of the devil to do mischief. They
did one good thing, but we condemn

Pioneer Reunion.
The Reunion of the Oregon Pion
eers at Aurora last Tuesday, was a
grand affair, and had the weather
been more favorable, the number in
attendance would have been mucli
larger. About 1,200 persons from
the various parts of the State, and
among the number several old pion
eers from this county, were present.
The procession was formed by the
Marshal, J. W. Ilerrin, assisted by
several aids, and headed by the flag
of the society and the Brass Band,
marched to the Aurora Park, the
handsomest and most systematical
park in the State. After all were
comfortably seated, Hon. F. X. Mat
thieu delivered a very appropriaite
address. He then introduced Rev.
J. L. Parrish, the Pioneer Missionary
of Oregon, who offered a fervent
prayer. After the band played a
tune, the President introduced Hon.
S. F. Chadwick, who delivered the
animal address. It was a masterly
effort, and was listened to with close
attention. Governor G rover was
then introduced, who made a very
excellent speech. We have rwot space
to even attempt a synopsis of any of
the addresses. After he closed, the
assemblage repaired to the arbor and
partook of a hearty dinner. After
dinner several old pioueers made
short speeches and the people amus
ed themselves walking and viewing
the beautiful grounds. In tho even
ing a general reunion was had by the
Pioneers at their hall, where the
officers for the present year were
elected, and short addresses made.
Tho young folks had a dance, at
which there were over two hundred
and fifty persons and it was a happy
and pleasant affair. The music was
spendid, and it is not necessary for
us even to intimate that the supper
was all that could be desired. Dan
cing was kept up till four o'clock',
when all felt as though it was time to
quit.
There wns but one thing whicl
the least disturbed the pleasure of
some of those present, and that was
number who had gone up
j from this city wero disappointed in
not being able to return that evening.
It was given out on the grounds that
there would be a special train, and
that arrageracnts to that effect had
"been made with the Railroad Com
pany, at 0 o'clock, and of course all
desired to remain as long r.s possible.
But the railroad, managers failed to
comply with tho arrangements and
hence a number of our people had
to remain away over night. We are
informed by the President of the
Society that the arrangements were
completed for an" extra train before
public, notice v as given. 3ut the
worst of all was, that the tickets only
specified that they were good for
that day, and the conductor could
do nothing but collect fare from those
who held a ticket there and back.
We are informed that the money is
being refunded. It was a very small
trick to say the least. The reunion
was a grand success.
A Deliberate Murder.
Policeman Chas. F. Sehocppe, a
well known Germau.'who resided in
Union county in Icon, in Marion in
1870 and in this county for a short
time in 1872, was murdered in cold
blood last Saturuay r.t Portland
while in the discharge of his duty,
by a man named H. Gibbons. . Gib
bens had fifed at a woman who kept
a saloon on Oak street, when Schoppo
went into the house to see what was
up, and just a he opened the door,
Gibbons shot, tho ball passing
through the heart. He struck Gib
bons after receiving the fatal shot,
and both fell on the floor, Schoppe
on top, and expired while laying
across his murderer. Gibbons has
been indicted for murder, and he
will probably have his trial in a day
or two, und there can hardly be a
doubt but that he will be found guil
ty of murder in tho first degree.
Mr. Schoppe was a man universally
liked by all who knew him, and has
many friends deeply sympathizing
with his afflicted wife and the two
orphaned children thai are left to
mourn the sudden death of their
father.
The Election Return.

Coos and Curry are not yet report
ed, but they have in all probability !
elected tw o Republicans. j
Of the above the Democrats have '
elected 2I, the Independents 20, and j
the Radicals 12, conceding that the .
latter have elected both their can- :
didates in Coos and in Coos and Cur- j
Ty. The apportionment bill provides :
for only one Representative from j
Clatsop and Tillamook, and none
from Clatsop separate. We rind,
however, that people of Clatsop have
elected one member from Clatsop
i ,
and another from the two counties
jointly. Constitutional limitation of
the House is GO members, and the
number which will claim and elec
tion is.Gl. There must be an error
in giving Clatsop only one joint
Representative. Before the present
bill was passed she was entitled to
one for her own population, and one
joint with Columbia and Tillamook.
How it came that she is only entitled
to one now from the two latter coun
ties is something wo cannot under
stand. Clatsop has a larger popula
tion than either Josephineor Colum
bia, yet each of these counties have
a Representative of their own. There
appears to bo an injustice in this
matter, and while Clatsop has elected
one joint and also one for herself
alone, the joint one only can get his
seat and the other will Lave to be
rejected, as the full number is made
up without the (me from Clatsop,
and the bill being passed, the other
counties cannot be deprived of their
Represent. tion. The matter de
mands adjustment, and while we re
gret that the law is so, we see no way
for Clatsop to get her just dues until
the meeting of the next Legislature,
when the present bill can be amend
ed. The law as published, gives the
above facts, while the bill gives
Clatsop a separate member, and also
only gives Benton two. There is, we
apprehend, an error in the printing
of tho bill; but how it can be reme
died will be a matter for tho Legisla
ture to settle.
