The platform adopted by tire Repub licans at Salem, w InVh appears in this issue, is of a character to commend it to the right thinking of all parties, and is in fact a stump speech within itself. It pretty generally antagonizes the overt if not open belief of the bulk of he Democracy who disregard and over slaugh, the laws and make a mockery of Justice -where they preponderate, as in the South. Their support of the free school system is very impotent, and rather runs to a sectarian preference in the North, and of dense ignorance in the South. They advocate'freo trade unmindful of 0 the fact that while it might cheapen to the consumer eome classes of foreign imports it would reduce the wages of every sphere of labor, bankrupt manu factories and throw thousands out of remunerative employment that now lean on our tariff basis as the snro pro vider of their homes and families. The Democrats are wildly at sea on financial matters, and a study of their platforms for the last eight or ten con secutive years would craze an ordinary person who should dare attempt to har monize their inconsistencies, and any defining of the metes and bounds of their vagaries would be futile as some succeeding convention would be likely to far transcend prescribed limits and arry Democratic cardinal principles off on a now tangent, to the dismay of the groundlings. Noticing is in stronger contrast to the fluttering of the Do mocracy on tin's question, than the teadj inflexible course of the Republi cans on the same; always looking to the redemption of the debt according to the terms of the contract, with a Bteady progress towards resumption, a policy which has resulted in bringing our circulating medium into inter changeable relations to such a degree that the difference is hardly perceptible; gold, silver and legal tender now being one and the same thing as to commer eial values; a Tesnlt which has been brought about by the fixed theory of the Republican party as opposed to the chimeras and vagaries of the Democracy. The 7th. 8th, 9th and 10th sections of the Republican platform are self-evident propositions and will be denied bv none. Taken as a whole the platform is a compound of doctrine that the Re publicans gladly accept and under its banner will march forward to victory. The campaign has opened out in ear nest and tho three parties have placed their tickets in tho field. The Demo crats will be placed on the defensive, while the Republicans will be aggress ive. The corrupt Democratic adminis tration is almost too much for that party to stana np under, and it is already be ginning to show signs of weakness. The key-note of the contest in this State will be the manner iu which our State affairs have been managed by the Democracy, and that party endorsed the administra tion by placing Treasurer Brown oh the ticket, and they must stand up to tho fight even if the load i3 somewhat bur densome. Bishop Andrews, of the New York Methodist Conference, has decided that the licensing of women as preachers is against the iToctrines of Wesley. The disappointed advocates of tho new de parture have taken an appeal to the General Conferr-en of the Methodists of the whole country in 1SS0. The Democrats took charge of onr State affairs with an indebtedness of about 30,000, and they will step down . and. out. after the June election, leaving a debt of about 1,000,000. With this record, their State convention endorsed this economical and wist? administration. Republican State Ticket. The Republican Convention at Salem tut forth an admirable ticket for the suffragan3 of the Republican party, if ' the favorable comments of tho people generally is any criterion. The candi dates are men against whom detraction or slander cannot fasten itself success fully, and the delegates are to bo com plimented for their wisdom, in not only finding good standard bearers, but in having given each locality in the State its duo of Candida. The north, south, east, west and center were called into requisition for men to uphold the pano ply of Republicanism, and the fiercest advocate of locality considerations must feel satisfied by this dispensation of the convention. For Congressman the name of H. K. Ilines, of Union county, prevailed over all others, and in the face of his express declination of the trust is a compliment which seldom falls to the lot of a per son in political life. Mr. Ilines is an old Oregonian and known and esteemed every where. He is an eloquent and effective speaker, and having fought the devil for many years is doubtless able to withstand John Whiteaker in a con tinuance of the warfare. He would make an effective legislator and would bo found an unflinching advocate of the rights of the people against monopo lists, which the course of Whiteaker in the lasS Oregon Legislature would not warrant as to him. Eastern Oregon needs a firm and true friend in the Jialls of Congress, as its future is all before it yet, with a powerful monopoly at its throat, and Mr. Ilines is not the man to be allured by the wiles of the eorporationists to betray the interests of the people. The nominee for Governor, C. C. Beekman, is a resident of Jacksonville, where his universal popularity is an earnest of his character, which em boldens us to assure our readers of his fitness for the trust; and we feel confi dent the convention did not wantonly bestow tho "nomination over worthy competitors without full information as to his capacity, which he will evidence to the people in the campaign before us. The Secretary of State, R. P. Ear hart, of Multnomah county, was chosen by an overwhelming majority. Rocky has peculiar fitness for the office, is a popular and competent person and will command the undivided support of the party as well as draw something from the enemy. For State Treasurer Ed. Ilirsch, of Marion county, carried off the prize. Ed. may well feel gratified at his vic tory as he had many worthy men at his heels in the race, and the preference bestowed was indeed flattering. Mr. Ilirsch is a merchant of Salem and is a brother of Meyer Ilirsch, who was the Republican nominee for tho same office several years ago. Ed. is popular where known and will command the full party strength without a doubt. For State Printer, W. B. Carter, of the Corvallis Gazette, was the lucky aspirant. Mr. Carter is an old Ore gonian and is an upright, moral and honest man, and well qualified for the position. Mr. Carter should command the full vote of the party as he has always stood on the ramparts fighting the battlo of Republicanism at a time when it brought more curses than coin, and may well be named one of tho "Old Guard." For Superintendent of Public In struction, Prof. S. J. Powell, of Linn county, received the nomination. He is a life long educator and is in every re spect competent for the position. Tho ticket is one that commends it self to the voters of Oregon they are candidates pledged to bring back the Government from the road to ruin so far taken by the Democratic sharks that have so long held sway in Oregon to tho primitive economy of the earlier days. They are pledged to investigate and expose the rascalities perpetrated against the School Fund and to unearth tho iniquities of the State Government which has brought Oregon into a million dollars of indebtedness in de fiance of the mandates of the Constitu tion. There is a rich field for investi gation, but a Democratic victory means limber exactions to cover tho old crimes, and Republican ascendancy the reverse. With this difference there can be little doubt of the final result. The G' eenbackers held a mass con vention at the Court House last Satur day. It was respectably attended and a full ticket was put in nomination. Some of the candidates on the Demo cratic ticket were felicitating them selves that they would get an endorse ment from this convention, but they were sorely disappointed. The propo sition receiving bnt four or fivo votes, and it was indignantly voted down. Notwithstanding their defeat they now profess themselves willing to bet that they will get a majority of tho Green back vote on election day, but our observation of the temper of the con vention leads us to conclude that it is composed of material who mean busi ness, and who are not to be swerved from fealty to their own ticket by tho insinuating and brotherly protestations of the Democratic candidates. The O. S. N. Co. have m interest in 'knowing" who are to be our leg islators at Salem next fall, and it is said say they have already commenced to lay their traps even in this county, to secure favorable men. They loudly nroolnim that tliov liat-o rr ; . 1 jX j iiici cnb ill i the mutter, but the ripples on the water very puuuiy muieuie wuicu way the wind is blowing. The people must not be misled by auy ceclarationa of honest intentions fro i. this source. The Democracy is trying to catch the Greenback vote with its gauzy platform, but its record, like Banquo's ghost, will not down at bidding. The seventh res olution of the Democratic platform of this State in 187G was as follows: "That the precious metals are the only safe basis of commercial values; that an ir redeemable paper currency is a national curse, and we insist upon a speedy re turn by the general government to spe cie payments." Tho National Demo cratic convention at St. Louis in 1876 was to the same effect with a hard mon ey candidate for President. At Balti more in 1872 the ninth resolution read as follows: "A speedy return to specie payment is demanded alike by the high est consideration of commercial moral ity and honest government." The sec ond plank of the platform adopted at Portland a few days ago says: "That we believe that all money made or issu ed by the government Bhould be of equal value, and that we are in favor of paying all the obligations of the gov ernment in greenbacks, so-called, when tho pecuniary interest of the people is promoted thereby, except when other wise expressly provided." In the third plank they demand the repeal of the act requiring resumption of specie pay ments in 1879. Our readersjean draw their own conclusions as to the consist ency of such a party. This is the party that claims that their principles are and always have been the same. Their plat forms are like the promises made by their candidates in Clackamas county two years ago only to catch votes. These candidates wouldn't vote for Grover, in caucus or out, but they did both. Their State platform says: "Econ omy should be the watchword, and rig orous laws be enacted for the manage ment and preservation of the various funds belonging to the State." And they renominate a prominent salary grabber, squanderer of tho school fund and other State frauds. This is con sistency with a vengeance, and the peo ple will give them a long black mark in Juno for their faithful and economical services. Important to Settlers. Tho following bill, entitled Senate Bill No. 959, for the protection of home stead settlers on public lands, was in troduced in the Senate by Senator Mitchell on the 20th of March: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that from and after the passage of this act, the even sections within the limits of any grant of public lands to any rail road company or to any military road company, or to auy State in aid of any railroad or military road, shall be open to settlers under tho homestead laws to the extent of one hundred and sixty acres to each settler, and any person who has under existing laws, taken a homestead on any even section within the limits of any railroad or military road land grant, and who, by existing laws, have been restricted to eighty acres, shall have the right to extend hi3 claim to either adjacent or non-adjacent lands, tinder such regulations as the Secretary of the Interior may pre scribe, so as to include in all not ex ceeding one hundred and sixty acres; and a full compliance with the provis ions of the homestead law" as to tho eighty acres, and a compliance with the regulations aforesaid, shall entitle the settle to a patent for the whole amount. Sec. 2. That in all cases where a per son has hitherto filed und settled upon a homestead under existing laws, and for any cause shall have abandoned tho same to tho United States; and in all cases where any person shall hereafter file and settle upon a homestead, and for any cause shall abandon the same to tho United States, the fact of such fil ing, settlement and abandonment shall not have th effect of depriving such person, if otherwise entitled, to filo and settle upon and obtain title to another claim under the homestead laws. And all acts and parts of acts inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed. Our Next (Governor. In the course of his speech at the Portland ratification last Saturday ev ening, B. F. Dowell, Esq., of Jackson ville, gave a short personal sketch of C. C. Beekman, Republican candidate for Governor: "Mr. C. C. Beekman had been an old line Whig; was born in tho town of Dundee, in the great State of New York, and had emigrated to this State in 1852. Since that time Mr. Beekman has been a citizen of Southern Oregon. He is an honorable and capable gentleman. By honesty, industry and enterprise he has acquired a handsome fortune. He was a shrewd business man and a good financier. If elected, the speaker said he believed he would bo able to bring this State out of debt. One thing could be said in favor of Mr. Beekman he i3 an honest man, and under his ad ministration there would be no pecula tions and no plundering of public funds. Mr. Beekman bad ever been a consist ent and unswerving Republican. He has for years been connected with a large business house in Jacksonville. During the time he has been acting as agent millions had passed his hands and not one dollar had stuck to them." Mart Brown ought to be as celebrated a poet as tho Sweet Singer of Michi gan or Martin Farquhar Tnpper, as we find the following stanzas scattered through his Legislative Reports: The question being Will tho nouse agree to tho bill ? It was agreed to. The title was read. The question being Will tho House agree to the title? It was agreed to. It looks poetical enough to make us all dance, but weighed it is found to be of the kind that operate-, on the tax payers only, as Mart charges for this balderdash by the page, and it is for poetry what is called a fat take. Victoria. B.C., has a Chinese popula tion of over 2,000, and every steamer brings more to crowd out the white laborers. "Consistency, Thon Art a Jewel. Republican State.Platforai. 1st. The Republican party of Oregon in convention assembled look with pride upon the general conduct and history of the party, and reaffirm our devotion to those fundamental principles on which the Republic and the Republican party were formed. Among these are un swerving fidelity to the constitution ! and the perpetuity of the Union; the preservation of the liberties and equal rights of all citizens throughout the nation and the administration of the j laws in every part of the country for j the protection and enforcement of pub- ! lie and private rights, and the punish ment of violence and crime; pure and economical administration of every de partment of the government. State and national, and we pledge the support of the Republican party to all means hon estly proposed and honestly designed, to promote the prosperity of the people. 2. That a well instructed people alone can be permanently free, it is therefore essential that the public school system shall be maintained, in order that every child may receive such education as will pave the way to useful citizenship, and we are unalterably opposed to any di version of the public school monoy. 3. That while we are in favor of a rev enue for the support of the government by duties on imports, sound policy re quires such adjustment of these duties as to encourage the development of the industrial interests of the whole coun try, and we commend that policy of national exchange which secures to the working man liberal wages, to the agri cultural, coal and wool growing inter ests, remunerative prices, and the na tional commercial prosperity and inde pendence. 4. That we are in favor of such leg islation on the part of Congress as will authorize settlers to appropriate such amounts of timber as may be necessary for their use. 5. That we are in favor of judicious appropriations by the genera1 govern ment for the improvement of our rivers and seaports, as well as for tho con struction of such lines of railway com munication as will develop the resources of the country and connect our State with other parts of the Union, under sxxph. restrictions as will amply protect the rights of the people from unjust and extortionate charges; and that in the grants of lands to railroads we favor the sale of the same by the government to the people at the lowest price for public lands, giving the proceeds only to the corporations. G. That we are in favor of maintain ing the public faith and credit by the honest fulfillment of our national con tracts in their spirit as well as letter. That the present condition of cur public credit and the fact that resumption of specie payments has already been ac complished demonstrates the wisdom of the financial policy of the Republican party, and we are opposed to the repeal of the resumption act and to repudiation in any form. Thut we favor a uniform currency founded upon a coin basis in terchangeable and convertible at par at tho pleasure of the holder. 7. That we condemn in tho most positive mauner tho reckless ond cor rupt Democratic administration of our State affairs which has in the last eight years heaped up a State debt of nearly one million dollars in direct violation of the constitution, and which has created new offices and increased official salaries to eat up the substance of the people, and which has robbed and mismanaged the State, school and university funds, loaning them to partisan favorites on straw securities. 8. That tho office of State Printer ought to bo abolished and the contract let to the lowest responsible bidder. 9. That the attempt by tho leaders of the Democratic party of Oregon to de fraud the people out of an electoral vote was an outrage unparalleled in the po litical history of the State and deserving the condemnation of all fair-minded men. 10. That wo heartily endorse the ef forts of the members of Congress from the Pacific coast to so modify the exist ing treaty with China as to restrict it to commercial purposes only.

BrowD, of 'Eastern Oregon, as pompously announced in the nomination, will, in our opinion, be found to be the weakest man, where he is best known, on the ticket. If we have a large Democratic majority in the State in June, we predict Brown's election by a small majority." It also thinks the whole ticket " would have been mater ially strengthened by giving the old officers a furlough for a few years." They still sell negroes to the highest bidder in Kentucky. The Hickman Covrier describes a sale of this kind: Mr. James Barksdale was the auc tioneer, and as the negro stood on the block and the voice of the auctioneer rose and fell crying the bids, it revived reminiscences of old and by-gone days. The colored people crowded around in anxious expectancy. The negro was one John Cooper, who had been previ ously tried and convicted as a vagrant, end the verdict of the jury was that he should be sold into servitude for six months as the law provides and directs. Tho Democrats howl about Woods' extravagant administration, but forget to compare it with Grover's. The ex penses of tho State government from 180G to 1S70 under Woods amounted to 8350,311 0G, and Grover's from 1870 to 1874 foots SG20.3S9 42. The actual cost of the penitentiary under Woods was 81,350 01; under Grover for the same period it cost 199,481 34. Germany seems to bo in earnest in her efforts to prevent war. Her rela tions with Russia and her commanding position among the nations of Europe make her an influential peacemaker. If Bismarck means to have peace, peace it will be. Washington Letter. Wasiuxgton. D. C. , April 5, 1878. The prospect of a long session grows stronger daily, and there.is now every promiso that "dog days" will be needed to stop the wind-mills at the Capitol. No vote can be reached this week upon the Union Pacific bill in the Senate, and when it reaches the House the debate upon it cannot possibly bo crowded in to less than four weeks. Then Wood's tariff bill will require more than a month lor its disposal, and this consumption of time, in connection with tho neces sary debates upi n matters of minor im portance, must necessarily prolong the session until summer heats compel rus tication upon our solons. Col. Polk, the door-keeper of the House, is at last, after much alternation of hope and despair, among the fallen. He made a gallant fight for his place, but the "outs" were too powerful for him, and now he sleeps among the slain; not in peace, however, for his friends propose to carry war into Africa among any and all instrumental in bis decapi tation. There are deep wrathful mut terings in the Democratic fold, to-day, against all these, and no one can doubt that not a man of the hungry horde be seiging tho House in the past for his successorship will obtain it, because his friends, the balance of power, mean to dictate who shall be the fortunate man. Senators Thnrman and Edmunds have been paying their attentions to the Union Pacific railroad, and exposing the un blushing fraudulent practices of this soulless corporation. Mr. Edmunds' strictures wero very severe, and have enough truth in them o make an Amer ican blush for his country when he sees so-called honorable Senators upholding and defending the scheme, by which this immense fraud of a railroad seeks to deprive the government of its rights and just dues. Mr. Edmunds, and also Mr. Thurman, showed in his speechs how the railroad lobbyists bought up the press of the country at 00 cents a line for editorials, distributed passes, as Mr. Edmunds said, "with an ostenta cious impudence that was amazing," "pursued everybody to his house to ap peal for aid in proposed injurious mat ters of legislation, and poured out mon ey for corrupt purposes." It i3 a pity that the exposures of these gentlemen could not be read by every patriotic citizen, so that the whole country might clearly appreciate what an infamous horde of ghouls from this Union Pacific corporation are here preying upon 2"ub lic honor and morals in their unholy endeavors to defeat the Senate judiciary committee's bill, which proposes to com pel it to re-emburse the United States for its moneys advanced to complete the road. Jay Gould and satellites are to be seen in the lobbies and galleries os the Capitol at all times. Every hotel has more or less of them, and one grows familiar with their pecniiar actions and manners m buttonholing members and Senators and those through whom they hope to get assistance. Mr. Thnrman has, for several years, been fighting them, and the above bill is largely due to his labors. And yet it is ably met and opposed in the Senate by those who, under technical points of law, try to convince us that we must not be so hard upon the Union Pacific and its chartered rights as is contemplated by the judiciary committee. No one can deny any charge made by Messrs. Ed munds aud Thurman, and their senator ial opposers must per force fall back upon such swindling legal technicalities as scoundrels had cunningly engrafted upon the laws creating the corporation, for their only defense. The govern ment, not the railroad, is entitled to the benefit of all doubts in the interpreta tion of all fraudelent acts by our courts and by Congress, hence we trust that Jay Gonld, Huntingdon and all their brotherhood of thieves may be compel led to disgorge some portion of their stealing. Mr. Thurman says the bill in qnestion is "defective" because too len ient, and yet Jay Gould is pouring out money by the thousands of dollars daily to defeat this leniency. We saw Gould, Huntingdon, Tom Scott, and Sidney Dillon in earnest confab in one of the Senato lobbies and as "head devils" of the combination which has virtually defrauded the government oat of mil lions, their presence and conference at tracted much attention. Jay Gould looks every inch the conspirator. His appearance indicates that the music in his soul is so deeply bound by fitness for treason, stratagem and spoils that tho lobby and swindle seem his appro priate spheres. It is settled at last that we are to have a Washington monument notwithstand gin the bowlings of so many would-be reformers and artists whose aesthetic tastes are violated by the proposed plain shaft. Ono of these, Mr. Clymer of Pa., wanted the unfinished monument torn down and an arch built somewhere.jnst as the ancients did. But Ben Butler effectually silence him with a few ques tions which put the House in a roar of laughter. We feel assured that the next centennial year, 197G, will find us with Washington's memory duly preserved, in so far as a completed monument is essential to that end, in as much as Congress has permitted the use of the 200,000 appropriated in 187G to finish that which has been a standing disgrace to our country for nearly thirty years. West Point inefficiency came very near squelching tho monumen; last year. Bnt Congress, realizing that a West Point engineer may know how to rirn-A recruiting station and yet be wholly ignorant of how to run a line with a line with a transit, has made the requi site appropriation,so now the work will go on. Secretary Schurz has done a good act in putting two ladies upon the board of visitors to the government insano asy lum. Last year he appointed Mrs. Briggs upon this board, who, with these two, Miss Raymond and Mrs.Gangewer,gives the women three representatives there in. So many unfortunates iu the asylum are women that it is fitting indeed ladies should be of the visitors, and particu larly so where rendered competent for the responsible duties of seeing that demented humanity is properly cared for, as these ladies are, by life long ser vice in the work of relieving the dis tressed and needy. Though the general management of the asylum has always been good, yet there is ever a need of woman's intuition and tenderness in caring for the details of the female ward. Mr. Frye's speach in the House upon the door-keeper embroglio was the rich est and raciest of the session. His wit, while arraigning the Democracy for the abuses which they had compelled Polk to commit, was irresistable, and the floor and galleries laughed and ap plauded him to the echo. Independent Greenback Conven tion. At a county convention held in Ore gon City on the 23d day of April, 1878, for the purpose of nominating candi dates on the Greenback ticket, O. D. Hibbard was elected chairman and P.li. I Eves secretary. It was moved and carried tnat a com mittee of five be appointed on resolu tions. It was moved and carried that a com mittee of three be appointed on order of business. It was moved and carried that the convention adjourn until 1 o'clock p m. At 1 p. m., the convention was called to order by the chairman. The report of the committee on order of business was read and adopted. The committee on resolutions report ed the following, which were adopted: Whekkas, In the progress of a grea war, accomplishing the freedom of an en slaved race, its liberators have themselves become enslaved by capital : Whereas, Capitalists for the last eigh teen years havo been engaged in absorb ing the moneys and values of the nation by iniquitous legislation, and have de stroyed the remunerative industries of the people, and crushed out the business en terprises that gave employment to work ingmen whereby millions of our laboring men and their families are on the verge of starvation, and are being fed at the soup houses of charity, producing a state of misery, poverty and destitution that noth ing but immediate and prompt system of reverse legislation can remedy ; therefore, Resolved, That this organization is in favor of assuming the name of "The Inde lendent Greenback part3'," and in con vention assembled we adopt the platform of the National Executive Greenback committee : 1. The Greenback dollar must be a legal tender for the payment of all debts, and by the government issued, protected and received at par with gold. 2. The Greenback to be the legal tender money of the country, and to be issued by the government. 3. The gene-al government alone to is suojnioney, and this for the benefit of all. and not to, through, or tor the enrichment of national bankers. 4. All kinds of property owned by indi viduals or corporations to be taxed alike. 5. The immediate calling in of all U. S. bonds and the payment of them, principal and interest, in letral tender lawful green back paper money of the United States, and that every dollar ot sncn issue or legal tender lawful money to be protected by the government as at par with other law ful money in irold or silver coin, never to be converted in bonds of any rate or claws. 6. Jlonostj' and economy in the admin istration of public affairs. The above platform, brief and to the point, having been adopted by the Nation al Executive" Greenback committee, tells the object for which we, workingmen, cit izens and tax-oavers, associate ourselves for tho purpose of securing the greatest irood to the greatest number, bringing capital into sympathy with labor and car rying our principles as above proclaimed to the control of political and financial affairs in the United States. The convention then jiroceded to make the following nominations: State Senator, R. W. Worsham; Rep resentatives, C. T. Hickman, N. II. Dar nail, P. R. Eves, B. C. Lewis; County Judge, James Eebold; County Commis sioners, Lyman Everet. Wither Hol- comb; Clerk, W. J. Dills; Sheriff. J. Coates; Treasurer, Joel Dixon; School Superinteudent.A.Thonipson ; Assessor, H. B. May; Surveyor, Elijah Wedell; Coroner, O. S. Porter. County Com mittee, P. R. Eves, R. N. Worsham, W J. Dills. Moved and carried to adjourn. P. R. Eves, Sec'y. The N. Y. iierald says: The intelli gence that Oregon lias put a Greenback ticket in the field will cause tliu hard money centers of the world to tremble. A Washington dispatch says there is no probability of Washington Territory bciug admitted as a State by Congress. MAKKIKD. At th" residence of Mr. James Coots.Claeka mns station, April 20, by Wm.
