Daily Democrat. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF DEMOCRATIC VETERANS. (For the Democrat.) A telegram from Springfield, 111., under date oi 22nd ult., says General Jolin M. Palmer had resigned from Stephenson Post, No. 30, G. A. R., alleging the viola tion of the Constitution and Ritual and charging that the order had been perverted to political purposes. Adjutant General Koontz of Indiana Is in correspondence with democrats all over his state, and in Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and other 6tates, and active steps are being taken to ward the formation of a National Associa tion of Democratic Veterans. General Koontz declares. the Grand Army of the Republic to be an order only non-political in name. Whilst we are sincere In believ ing the I. O. O. I and Square and Com pass to be orders to which any of us can become members with pride, knowing that in the lodge room of these secret orders political discussions are not permitted ; yet we have publicly said during the heat of the recent campaign '.hat the G. A. R. was drifting into politics, and if Harrison was elected it would do it on the ground that President Cleveland had used such men as Lamar and Garland in his Cabinet formation. Our prophecy has been verified and now we smile as we see the disintegra tion of the G. A. R., for when the demo crats are out of it, the small balance will be no figure at all in National elections. The old Roman often remarked in his campaign speeches that 2,000,000 democrats assisted in the liberation of the negro,and with that for a basis we can safely say in a very short time General Warner will have very few G. A. R. men in his command. We hail with delight any order for the advance ment of man, socially, mentally or physi cally, but we condemn any for their degra dation by dictating to'them the manner in which they are to use their franchise. Albany, Dec. 3rd, 18SS. Young Democracy. A Brownsville subscriber writes to ask what Cleveland's plurality over Harrison is in this county. He says republicans claim it at 30,while the official vote as pub lished in the Democrat showed 38. There is no such thing in fact as a popular plu rality for president. Votes are not cast for president but far electors whose duty it is, If elected, to elect a presUent. Each state elects as many electors as it has Sen ators and Representatives in Congress. Therefore Oregon elected three. The vote in Linn county was just as published in the DitMOCRAT,wnich is as follows : Effinger, democrat, 1642 ; Bilyeu, democrat, 1633 ; Skipworth, democrat, 1641. Fulton.repub lican, 1603 ; McLean, republican, 1603 ; Kapus, republican, 1604. If our friend will figure a little he will find the following plu ralities on electors : Effinger over Fulton 39, over McLean 39, over Kapus 38. Bil yeu over Fulton 30, over McLean 30, over Kapus 29. Skipworth over Fulton 38,over McLean 38, over Kapus 37. The way in which all newspapers and politicians figure out majorities and pluralities on candidates for president is to take the two opposing electors receiving the highest number of rotes and take their difference as the ma jority or plurality. Taking the vote of Mr. Effinger, the democrat who received the highest vote,and Mr. Kapus,the repub lican receiving the highest vote on their respective sides, and we find the difference to be 38,which is Cleveland's plurality over Harrison in Linn county. This is the way in which the Oregontan found Harrrison's majority in the state to be 6769. Gen. Hovey whom the republicans elect ed governor of Indiana, speaking of the cause of the defeat of Cleveland says : "I know, positively, that if all the democratic soldiers in Indiana had voted for Cleveland he would have carried the state easily. And my correspondence with the grand army posts in New York leads me to be lieve that more than enough democratic soldiers in New York voted for the repub can ticket to defeat Cleveland. New York is democratic; there is no doubt about that, and so far as the tariff is concerned, I am convinced thut the democrats gained on that Issue in Indiana." This is a remark, able confession to be made by a leading re publican In Indiana, and one who is a principal bencficary of republican success In that state, This statement is a virtual confession that the grand army of the re public was used, as has been alleged, both in New York and Indianna to promote the success of the republican party. A few days ago Mrs. Sadie Walters, the wife of a traveling salesman for a Chicago house was sent to the Insane Asylumn, having become insane, through the exees J slve use of cigarettes. They are useless things and should always be discarded. Gen. Harrison once said in a speedli in the senate: "I am modest In discussing these constitutional questions, because my practice has not been of that kind, and I have not been bronghtjoften in contact with such questions. I am not a constitutional lawyer." It now seems to be settled that the old system of making appointments that pre vailed from Lincoln to Grant will be adopt ed under Harrlsion. Senators and repre sentatives will be permitted to make the appointments In their respective states, if such members are republicans. If not pet republican leaders In democratic states wil' be called upon to make appointments. This is the very life of the spoils system. The troubles of the republicans on the tariff will soon qcgin. It is said a number of their senators and representatives from the northwest will want free lumber and free salt. Ihe senate tariff bill is in its pressnt shape, a ridiculous humbug any way. The people will now have an oppor tunity of seeing howmucn the "friends of protection," will do for the masses of the people, and how much they will do for the protected monopolies. The democrats at the Los Angeles city election the othe rday elected the mayor by 1000 majority. The next council will stand 11 democrats and four republicans. The republicans elected the rest of the ticket. ALBANY OPERA HOUSE. o Monday Evening, December, 8th. GRAND CONCERT By the Celebrated Boston Quintette Club ! John F, Rhodes, Solo violin.
