I THE DAILY DEMOCRAT. SIliNini'ANT. ONE SIDED. The Salem Statesman Indulges In ome very severe, though just, criticisms of thi democratic legislature of Ohio, for such bill lately Introduced to district the state fjr cong-sslonal purposes, which wonld give the democrats sixteen or seventeeen members and the republicans but four or five, The Statesman is In error as to its figures. Under this bill the democrats would elect fourteen and the republicans aeven. At the last election the democrats carried that state by 11,000 majority, and, taking that as a basi, the democrats could claim but eleven members and the repub. Ucans ten, clearly showing that the demo crats are aiming to gather in more con gressmen from that state than they are en. entltted'o. But,i6the.Sattman dlindman or is he, like a jug handle, all on one side? Has it ever dawned upon his mental vision that his own party in O.-.Ij is fat more guilty of stealing congressmen than are the democrats? Has he duly or otherwise considered the notorious gerrymander that now exists in that state, and whicli was so arranged by the republicans as to give them sixteen and the democrats but five congressmen? For the proposed democratic gerrymander the Statesman swells to the dignity of tighteous indigna tion, but on the subject of its own party's ' 'stealing" it is silent as night. The States man is only half as indignat as it sh.iuld be. G".iM it lay aside its party bias, it would h.: ..taping anathemas upon the heads of .: party leaders all over the country. Let us investigate. At the last presidential e 'ection the democratic vole In Connetlcut was 7492o and the republican vote was 74,584, and yet that state is so gerrymander ed for members of the legislature and con gressman that the republicans have both United States Senators and three out of four congressman. The democratic vote in Iowa in iSSS was 169,887 and the republi can vote 211,598 but the republicans have both senators and ten out of eleven con gressmen. This is not all. In Kansas the democrats cast 102,945 votes but have no represenatlve, 'while the republicans have seven members for their 182,904. In Maine the democrats cast 56,481 votes but have no rcprcsenative.while the republicans cast 73734 and have four. lit Minnesota the democrats cast 104,385 votes but have no represenatlve, while the republicans cast 142,492 and have five. In Nebraska the democrats cast 80,552 votes but have no reprcscnative, while the republicans cast 108,425 and have three. In New Hamp shire the democrats cast 43.382 vote but Have no represenatlve, while the republi cans cast 45, 724 and have two. In Rhode Island the democrats cast 17,530 votes but have no represer.rtlve, while the republi cans cast 21,969 and have two. In the six teen states of California, Connetlcut, Illi nois, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, r Wisconsin, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Bampsire rnd Rhode Island wnich were districted by republicans, the democrats cast 3,111,180 votes and the republicans 3, 527,49s, yet the democrats are allowed on ly forty four reprcsenatlves in the popular branch of congress, while the republicans take 135. The republicans cast an excess of 416,310 votes in a total of 6,638,679, or about 6 per cent., yet they take more than three times as man, represenatives, an excess of over 2o per cent. In those states one democratic member represents an average constituency of 65,527 voters, while or.e republican represents only 26,- 129. If the representation were in proportion to the vote the democrats would have eightv-four of the 179 represenatives from those states and the republicans ninetj five. As it is, the republican usurpers seated by frauudlent gerrymandering, are rioting In revutution and howling that the "majority" shall rule! Here again Is it demonstrated that the republican party is the parly of false pretenses. W P Kelly Isle congressman from the Fourth Fennsylvania District was the most dis tinguished representative of a high protective tariff in cong-ess and the voters in the district bad been known as the most steadfast worship per at Protection's shrine, Mr Kelly died a few weeks ago and an election was held February 18th to fill the vacancy. The. tarifi reduction question was made the direct i&.ue, nothing else being considered. The democrats reduc ed the republican majority by 1300 votes. This signifies that the educational campaign is pursuing inevitably the even tenor of its way. PAKTY MAS. The verdict of the Texas coroner's jury which recently acquitted a pugilist of the blame of an opponent wui one blow, is characteristn ol that stale. Brutality nd a disregard for humanity are virtues in Texas. We also recall the fact that Texas gave 0,000 majority for the late Mr Cleveland. rendleton Tribune, Parly bias and misrepresentation must be virtues wilh the editor of the Tribune or he never would have written the above.

C G Burkhart, Secretary, So far the State of New York has expended over eighteen million dollars on her capitol at Albany. Work was begun upon it over twenty five years ago,and so far is it from being finish ed that the legislature is now asked to appro priate three million dollars more to complete it, a considerable portion of this to be expend ed in rebuilding parts of the building that have fallsn into decay through defective construction. It is not probable that the amount asked for will be appropriate,!, nor that, if it were, the sum would be sufficient, considering the pecu- lar methods in vogue in connection with the construction of public buildings. Neither is it probable that any one now living will ever see it completed. Thi republicans in congress have turned out a-iother demxratic tnem'jer of congress elected fiom Wesl Virginia to make room for the r pablican candidate who was defeateJ, notwith s'anding the stupendous frauds practiced in that state by thsl paity to carry it, This the Statesman calls only trying to get a quo um. It furnishes another weapon through the use of which democrats will be able to elect a good majority of the next congress. The Salem tourmtl says: The first city in the valley to replace her br ilge over the Williametle will be Salem. That is becaiMc Salem is the only city or the Willamette that lost a hriuge. 1 NNUAL MF.KT.Tfl -Wntlna l ha..
