The Democratic State Ticket.
The Democrats Lave put their State
ticket in the field. Dick Williams'
law partner, W.W. Thayer of Portland,
id the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor. lie has lived a long white in
Oregon, and this is the first tim he
has been thought worthy of recogni
tion. It is more than likely he would
not now have been "dug up" had it not
been necessary to run some kind of a
-quiet inactive man, since all the ac
knowledged leaders (seeing defeat
ahead declined to run. ihe nominee
for CoDfrress is that perpetual office
seeker John Whiteaker of Lane county.
Whenever the Democrats have a Gib
raltar they want to capture, poor old
Whiteaker is trotted out and made to
don the war-paint, and no Christian
tnartyr was ever tied to the stake with
more willingness. One Reames from
Jackson county aspires to the office of
Secretary of State, but he will find that
all hisReainesare "foolscap"and that the
-office re-quires more brains than he has
rat his command. A. H. Brown, the
'present incumbent, is willing to sacri--iice
himself for another term as State
'Treasurer at the paltry remuneration of
-3800 per annum. As the Mercury said
;a few weeks ago, tho people want a new
deal, and Mr. Brown will be elected to
stay at home, while his successor will
Hook after the school fund and only
draw one salary. A. Noltner, candi-
date for State Printer, we have spoken
of in a previous issue. He deserves
well of Lis party, and will probably
make a good run in this county where
Jiq has many friends but they will
"hardly be enough of them to elect him.
'The Democrats have placed the name of
JProf. Jos. Emery, of Corvallis, on their
- licket for the office of Superintendent
of Public Instruction. He is said to
be a cultured man but then he can't
'. be the next incumbent, for we need that
office in tho Republican party with the
rest. Taken altogether it locks consid-
-erable of being a strong ticket, and it
will be easily beaten if we put a good
'ticket in the field against it.
America at Paris.
The American exhibit at the Paris
Exposition will far exceed anticipations
first entertained as to the extent of our
show at the great International Ehibi
tion. Many feared a fair representa
tion of American products and indus
tries would not be made and therefore
4he enterprise was not encouraged with
as much zeal and spirit as it otherwise
would have been. The result however
has been very satisfactory, and the
American display will be very credita
ble. Commissioner McCormick has de
voted himself incessantly to the work
of preparation, and much has been
done in the short time since he assumed
Ihe important place. Upwards of 2,000
tons of exhibts have been received,
five government vessels have been ap
propriated ve Snpply, the Constitu
tion, the Wyoming, Portsmouth and
Constellation. Independent of these
vessels, the Commissioner has fonnd it
necessary to contract with the French
mail steamers to take the residue of ex
hibits not shipped on the above named
vessels. '
This vast amount of stuff does not
include all of our exhibit, for much
will be sent on the French mail steam
ers during this month at the expense of
the exhibitors themselves, who have
alloted space provided for them.
Scarcely two-thirds of the persons, who
desired to make exhibits, could be ac
commodated with space. The Com
missioner therefore chose to give space
to those who could and would give the
?x?st aud most comprehensive display.
A great success is anticipated.
The Oregonian has perched itself on
the fence waiting for the parties to put
their candidates in the field, then the
fat incubus " will jump down and let
us kdow wnetner the "only paper is aj
Republican, Democratic or Greenback
organ. Our readers will remember that
$3,000 out of Tilden's bar'l bought the f-
influence of the concern once, and it
need not surprise anyone if it took a
queer turn in this campaign.
Prof. Emery, of Corvallis, publishes
a card in yesterday's Standard declin
ing to sacrifice himself as the Demo
cratic candidate for State Superinten
dent of Public Instruction.
What Will the People Do ?
Recent dispatches show that at Re
publican caucuses in Washington, the
feeblo objections to the Administration
Offered by Senators Howe and Sarsrent.
and Clerk of the Senate, G or ham, have
been completely overidden, and Presi
dent Hayes almost unanimously en
dorsed. This doubtless is a bitter pill
for such quasi Republican papers as the
Oregoniau, but it is good news to all
honest people who have the best inter
eats of the country close at heart.
President Hayes is trying to adminis
ter the Government in precisely the'
way that every intelligent citisen has
been saying for years that it ought to
be administered. The only tenable
ground for criticism on his administra
tion is that now and then its acts do
not agree with its avowed purpose. The
ground upon which it is assaulted by
machine politicians is that it makes its
acts accord too closely with its profes
sions. They are angry because the
costly methods known as "Grantism"
are not employed by the executive
branch of the government. The mal
contents are to-day contending for that
kind of administration which kept the
country n a continual broil and in no
way improved our standing among the
natiotts ot the world.
This is a plain and trite statement of
the case The actual nature of the dis
pute can not be disguised or rationally
disputed. The demagogic assaults up
on Secretary Schurz for doing his
whole duty as an officer of the govern
ment illustrates fully and accurately
the moral rottenness of the partisan op
position to the President. He is op
posed by the machine politicians, not
because his administration is bad for
the conntry, but because upon tha
whole, and regarded in its administra
tive aspects, it is very good for the
country. We are told by one of the
mouthpieces of the group of self-seeking
politicians that "there is no doubt of
the complete annihilation of Mr.
Schurz." This remark is, of oourse,
the expression of a desire and not the
announcement of a fact. The Oregontan
never loses an opportunity to run a
stilleto into Mr. Hayes, and the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat hacks him with
broadswords from the beginning of
the week to the end. Both sides are
virtually appealing to the country, and
we feel satisfied we know what the peo
ple will do when this question gets
out of Congress and comes squarely be
fore them.
Tbc Assessor.
The Yamhill Reporter last week gives
us a hint concerning the execrable law
regulating assessing property in Ore
gon, and we hope our legislators will
give the subject their most careful con
sideration in the fall. The American
assessor is an arbitrary tyrant, if the
opinion of the average property holder
is to be taken as a standard of judg
ment. He is more closely connected
with the tax-eating fraternity in the
public mind than any other member of
that costly and interesting brotherhood.
It is he who decides the amount of value
on which a man shall be compelled to
deliver his dncats for the preservation
of good order, the protection of proper
ty, and the support of the fortunate in
dividuals who are born to earn their
bread by the sweat of other fellows'
brows. He is the interpreter of the
laws enacted for the purpose of raising
municipal revenue, and, when left to
obey the dictates of his own sweet will,
is apt to be as reasonable and just as an
ordinary highwayman. We do not
mean alone the individual assessor, who
roams around at stated intervals,
seeking whom lie may devour,' but in
clude the whole machinery of assess
ment. Ordinarily safeguards are erect
ed by legislative bodies to curb and
correct the assessor. These laws are
often cumbrous and difficult of applica
tion, but thoy have a beneficial effect in
the main. The assessor is a painfnl ne
cessity in a country where property is
made to provide the public revenue,
and he must remain a part of our gov
ernmental machinery.
As we predicted some time ago, the
Salem Record ostensible greenback
organ has " sloped " over into the
Democratic ranks, and endorses their
State ticket. We cannot help feeling
that Hall has been a little premature in
this, for had he kept toying with the
deluded greenbackers, leading them on
by degrees, he might possibly have
carried some of them with him into the
Bourbon camp on the occasion of his
change of party; but as it is, the deser
tion of the Record has been followed by
no one except poor old Hall as chief
mourner..
The Standard, in some badly shatter
ed English, wishes its readers to under
stand that the hard sense ascribed by
the Enterprise to our candidate for
legislature, Bradley, is of that very hard
kind that will not develop, owing to its
being imbedded in a thick skull. Those
who know Mr. Bradley will laugh at
the sacrifice to truth the Standard has
made in an awkward attempt at being
funny, and will console themselves with
the thought that he has at least an ad
vantage over the Standard man in not hav
ing his brains incased in a soft covering.
.The Beecber-Tilton scandal has re
ceived another impetus by the confes
sion of Mrs.Tilton. She says the charge
brought by her husband of adultery be
tween herself and Rev. H. W. Beecher
was true. It is said that Tilton and his
wife. have become reconciled, and that
he ha influenced her to make this con-
Washington Letter.
Washington. D.C., March 29, 78.
The most uncertain portion of mascu
line gender in the House is Ben Butler.
Senator Davis, who invariably tries to
carry water on both shoulders whenever
a vote is to be taken on any important
measure, istho incarnation of certainty
when compared to lien Butler, for none
can ever indicate ia advance what line
of action he will pursue. We always
know that Mr. Davis will try to "split
the difference." But Mr. Butler won't
do anything he is expected to do. He
is worse than Paddy's pig for contrari
ness. In the House yesterday the Dem
ocrats seated Dean over Field in the
contested Massachusetts case by a party
vote, with tho aid of Ben Butler, for
without his vote Dean would not have
succeeded, and yet a doien Democrats
would not sanction the outrage with
their votes, for Dean had no real claim
upon the Boat. He has it, however,
thanks to Mr. Butler, and we presume
the Sage of Essex feels better at this
brick thrown by him at the Republicans.
He is a kind of a boomerang in the Re
publican party, as he more often returns
to strike the thrower than he injures
the person aimed at.
Polk, the door-keeper of the House, is
jubilant because his brethren sat down
upon Mr. Harrison's resolution of ex
pulsion, and expresses himself as happy
as a big sunflower. The Republicans
care very little about the matter, and
generally feel like letting him alone in
this fight with his brethren, for, in all
human probability, if Polk be ousted,
his successor will be a ten times worse
man in all respects. We have heard
several of our party say that the Repub
licans should have nothing to do with
the resolutions, and should therefore
abstain from voting, letting the Demo
crats prench their own funeral. Polk is
a good fellow, and is personally liked
by all who have offioial intercourse with
bim.excepting those who want his place.
Some of our sore heads are exceed
ingly inclined to pitch into the admin
istration whether or no, and have been
trying to make a tempest in a tea-pot
through the nomination of Mr.Scofield,
of Pa., as register of the treasury by
raising a question of veracity between
themselves and the President. We are
very much inclined to the opinion that
in their advances when seeking to secure
the nomination of their friend they
were met by the usual indefinite evasive
response which the dispenser of official
patronasre so happily uses to an appli
cant. All concerned are old politicians
and seem sore because they have just
fonnd out for themselves how it is.
Diplomacy is an excellent thing, except
to those hurt by it, and thousands kuow
to their supreme disgust the little
weight which should be placed upon
the "I'll consider it" of a cabinet officer
when applied to for an office. Hence,
while Ilarry White, of Pa., is swearing
with oaths as big as FalstafTs that he
and his friends were promised the suc
cessorship of the deceased register, yet
we feel assured that they accepted the
wise owlish looks aud diplomatic eva
sions of the higher powers as unequivo
cal pledges of appointment. Mr. Scho
field seems the man for the place. He
has nothing to do but sign his name to
the papers laid on his desk, and unless
we aro deceived by appearances, we
know he will do his full duty. An
automaton could do the same thing, vet
we should of course have in preference
a man of brains and great ability.
The fishing season has opened on the
Potomac with rather flattering prosjvecis
for the fishermen. Prime shad have
been for sale in our markets for several
weeks: the past fair weather aud open
river having started them toward their
spawning beds nearly four weeks earlier
this year than last.
Our temperance people are hard at
work, though Murphy is gone, and are
keeping their agitation at a white heat.
One of their most efficient speakers is
Charley Nye, a son of ex-Senator Jim
Nye, and his speeches are marked by
the same vein of wit, drollery and oddity
which characterized his father while in
the Senate.
A matter of painful interest recently
occurred here. Some forty or fifty per
sons were taken violently ill with all
the symptoms attending metallic pois
oning, but no lives were lost, as the
physicians were able to save all attacked
The cause of this sickness was traced to
the eating of some cream puffs made by
a prominent confectioner, but when sub
jected to chemical tests by our experts,
failed to exhibit 'the slightest trace of
any known poison. But the fact remains
that none were taken sick who had not
eat of these cream puffs, and we are
therefore left to conclude that there are
poisonous substances capable of injur
iously and dangerously affecting the
human system which cannot be detected
by chemical science. This was the po
sition assumed by our old professor of
chemistry at college, who, to show the
imperfection of chemical analysis.would
instance an egg, which, in so far as hu
manity could determine, contained no
lime, and yet the young chicken natcu
ed from it had perfect bones, composed
chiefly, as all know, of lime. There are
natural transmutations beyond human
ken, and this recent wholesale poisoning
seems one of them, as no person pre
sumes intent in the matter.
It is not generally known hat the
English walnut tree grows to perfection
in this country. There are trees of this
variety in this city which bear abund
antly every year, one, in particular, in
the yard of one of our wealthy citizens,
bore last year over 10 bushels of the
finest quality walnuts, and yet we are
importing these nuts from England and
Europe, thousands of dollars worth an
nually. It is a wonder, therefore, why
we rely upon a foreign country when
we possess the means within ourselves
of growing them in unlimited quantities.
The tree is a vigorous grower, and its
beautiful foliage and form render it
nearly the equal of our splendid soft
maple for ornamental purposes.
Real estate begins to look upward
here, and there is every reason to be
lieve, from present indication, that we
are entering upon an era of rapid im
provement. Recent sales of lots made
in the fashionable quarter near the Brit
ish minister's residence were for cash
and at rates per foot, nearly equal to
the buoyant times preceding the panic;
preparations for building new houses
are very active, quite as much so as at
any time sfnee 1867; hence our conclu
sion that the city is rapidly recovering
from the panic's depression.
Mrs.Van Cott says there will be more

Democratic State Platform.
The Democracy of Oregon, in Con
vention assembled, make the following
declaration of principles;
Section 1. That a simple government,
honestly and economically administered ,
confined in its operations to the admin
istration of justice and. preservation of
the public peace, is the only safeguard
against the abases of power to which
persons in authority are prone, and a
corrupt and lavish appropriation of the
public funds to corporations which has
characterized a national administration
for the past seventeen years.
Sec. 2. That we heartily approve the
action of Congress in remonetizing sil
ver. That we believe that all money
made or issued by the government
should be of equal .value and that we
are in favor of paying all the obligations
of the government 'in greenbacks so
called when the pecuniary interest of
the people is promoted thereby, except
where otherwise expressly provided.
Sec. 3. That we regard, the forced re
sumption of specie payments aa greatly
aggravating the depression and distress
consequent on a long season of inflation
and extravagance. We therefore favor
the repeal of the act requiring resump
tion Jan. 1, 1879.
Sec. 4 That the gratuity of iiear twen
ty million dollars now paid the national
banks by the government is simply levy
ing tribute upon the people for the ben
efit of the oapitalif 1 We therefore favor
the repeal of the lr under which they
were established and the direct issue by
the government of currency receivable
for all publio dues, sufficient to supply
the place of the present bank note cir
culation. Sec. 5. That we heartily endorse the
effort now being made in Congress to
reduce our present tariff list to a strictly
revenue standard. That the interests
of the great mass of the people of the
United States lie in the paths of unre
stricted commerce.
Sec. 6. That W6 favor continued agi
tation on the subject of Mongolian im
migration to this country till tho feder
al government is moved to modify our
treaties with the Chinese Empire so as
to prohibit it. and thus save those of
our fellow citizens who depend upon
labor for a support from unjust and de
grading competition.
Sec 7. That the eighteen years of
misrule of the Republican party is in
dubitable proof that that party is no
longer to be trusted. That much of its
legislation in Congress has tended to
make the rich richer, and the Doornoor-
er, and we arraign that party before the
people for its classed legislation, for
having fostered and upheld rings, for
its repeated efforts to overcome the
voice of the people by an unjust and
nnconstitntional use of the military arm
of the government, and for forgeries
perpetrated under its official sanction,
whereby R. B. Hayes was placed in the
presidential chair contrary to the ex
pressed will of an overwhelming major
ity of the people cf this government.
Sec. 8. Ttat we demand such legisla
tion, state and federal, as will prevent
the abuses growing out of compensation
for extra services, and will limit the
pay of officials to a single salary; secure
the prohibition of all perquisites, that
fruitful source of corruption whereby
the compensatiou allowed by Jaw to
those in publio employments is fre
quently doubled; the elimination from
pnblic affairs of that species of dishon
esty known as favoritism, whereby per
sonal friendships are awarded and per
sonal obligations discharged at'the ex
pense of the public, without regard to
efficiency
1 Sec. 9. That it is the duty of the State
government to maintain its supremacy
in regard to the authority not delegated
in the constitution of the United States
aud to vindicate itself against encroach
ments from any source whatever. That
in the administration of State affairs the
preservation of private right and pro
motion of justice should be the princi
pal aim ; that taxation shonld be equal
and uniform, and extravagant expendi
tures of the public revenues be avoided.
Ecqnomy should be the watchword, and
rigorous laws be enacted for the man-
ugemeni and preservation of the various
funds belonging to the State.
Sec. 10. That we are in favor of im
provement by the general government
of the rivers and harbors of the State;
of the opening of the Columbia river to
the Cascades and Dalles; of the improve
ment of the bnake river, and of a sub
sidy ef the Portland, Salt Lake and
South Pass Railroad; of an extension of
time to complete the North Pacific R.R
m a .
under sucn reasonaDie conditions as
will preserve the rights and interests of
the people of the State and the settlers
upon the lands donated to it. Also for
a subsidy for a speedy completion of a
railroad connection between Oregon and
California.
Sec. 11. That universal education and
the general diffusion of learning being
the principal bulwark of American lib
erty, we are in favor of sustaining and
protecting our public school system for
T J . J ! t
the iaituiui eaucauon or sue rising gen
eration.
All that is needed to elect our entire
ticket in this county is to keep a bold
front and march ahead to victory.
Nothing can beat the ticket except dis
sension in our own ranks, and the Dem
ocrats hope to get throe or four men
elected by this means, but from present
appearances they will be sadly disap
pointed. From all parts of the oounty
the glorious news is reoeived that our
ticket is satisfactory in every respeot,
and everything is harmonious. Repub
licans must keep their eyes open, how
ever, and be vigorous, for the enemy
are desperate and will not hesitate at
anything to secure the desired end.
While victory is within our reach, it
can only be secured by earnest work,
and it is the duty of every Republican
to labor for the entire ticket. The next
legislature will elect a U. S. Senator
and Clackamas county should send the
entire delegation there to vote for a
Republican to represent the State at
Washington. Personal prejudices and
bickerings should be forgotten and only
remember the object to be attained.
