The Portland Dim, audi comleiiuu the nti-JHilpli element for U)Hij the cnucu uomiimtiou. "Men of honor, who wtioiwte in tt Mrtv emu-u," lavs the imti-li,"wouM have rnrried out the verdirtof the nmjoritv, or re fute to if. into tlie caucus." Thin may beirnol ultl-timo d.miwrntio doctrine, ml we rmuiii It i, coming as il tloet from an ancient war-eagle of ante lielluui dem.KT-Jcy, hut it d." not cor respond t tlie i.iu.l.r.i ideas which pre vail among 8elf-rviecting and independ ent men of all political parties. The tatement made hy tha veteran editor of the Iipateli brands the bolters by implication as not being "men of honor." We do not accuse the Dispatch of flatly saying this, it is too courteous to be so croeslv brutal, but it is a lotficd inter H... ItttiL'tiiiire used. The nolitieid caucus like the joliticul con veiitioii, ia simply ' aseiubh.iiO of men of one common political belief as- . eociafcd toother for the purse of .lectins the most available man or pet of men to act as their party's standard bearers. Usually the minority acquiesces in "the verdict of the majority, but nnt nlwavs. The warns is pimply n means to an end, and, w hen honorabh conducted, its decisions should be 'i.i...i;n nmn the members. There i no Question as to that. Bat who shall be the judges as to i.i.- imi-ii was fairly and Wlll.t"ri ' - honestly mauipnlated, except the uietu hers participating in the proceeding? If unscrupulons means are employed, if the "machine" rides roughshod over the wishes of the minority and forces its' wav with a high hand, then the minority have a moral right to revolt, and they would not be honeet, inde pendent and eelf-repectiiitf men if they did otherwise. It frequently happens IKat "men of honor" do just the op jitjsite of the very thing that the Dls pafch aays they slrould do.for to do other wise would be sycophancy and coward ice and they would be branded as desti tute t the instincts of true manhood. The deadlock at Salem is no funeral of ours,. and it is not our intention to pose aiau apologist for the minority, ex 'ceptthat very small minority known as the democratic contingent. We speak in general terms and oar remarks are aimply in defense of the right of the 4'ilotmly iNMisidor the nviiioii.

Our peopieoi meacim; WMta.0 ... republican friends over at the legisla ture have our sincere condolence, for like our democratic brethren in con gress, although overwhelmingly in the majority, they know not what to do. ' Oca querulous contemporary, the Dallas Observer, has been eating sour grapes and set its teeth on edue. It says ' "The Independence Eutekfbise favors the McGinn bill, introduced at the legislature, which regulates the pub lication of all legal ' ada." in one paper, selected by the county court and pub lished at the county seat." Now the sober trnth is we said no such thine, and it is not possible for the ingenuity of prevarication to torture our language into something we did not eay. We criticised the bill, but.as our language was decorous and parliamentary it is not surprising that our bilious contempo rary construed our remarks into an in dorsement. . All fair minded people who may have read the article will know better. But the Observer was not content with misstating our position it also went out of the way to ascribe motives to ns which are as foreign to our mind as the epirit of fairnrss an 1 can dor is from its criticism of our remarks on the McGinn bill. We mentioned two serious objections to the bill, ai.d rould have mentioned a dozen more, but .-.did not consider it worth while to do so, for there is little prot-abilitv of senate bill No. lili ever bwnmiug a law. In the future, if the Observer really wants to score oint againat ns, il should use argument iiiftea.i of innuen do and state faes instead of (abvbou's. Tm Salem Statesman very properly eayf "The present boundary lines of Tolk and Marion county should not bc distnrbed." We presume the States man has in mind the agitation going on in the northeastern portion of this county, where a few citizens are' asking for annexation it!i Marion comity.
