This is BO. entirely proper. The people wish to meet and It mav be get down aa an absolute fact, that any talk with whomsoever they may be expected to man w ho oppo.sea Statement No. 1 is opposed, at v >te.

The same should certain. Hence the people can conclude that any be true if Mr. Cake or Governor Chamberlain man who offers himself for office, poteases ti.e should lie the winner. necessary ability to fill it, should he be elected. The idea is held out by the opponants of the Statement, that the Republican vote may be so L«et us hope that those independent Republican divided that Governor Chamberlain would have a candidates, down in Multnomah county, who have a plurality over either of the Republican candi come out fiat footed for Statement No. 1. will be dates. This dificulty can be removed by deciding royally supported by the people of Multnomah.
