An Interesting Political Debate, Tbe most interesting political debate of the coming campaign was held in Miller's ball In this city, last Saturday evening, on the question: "Resolved: Tbat Populist principles must prevail or revolution will result." C. B. Montague contended for tbe affirmative, and C. D. Steen for the negative. Mr. Montague held forth in a flood of 'fervid eloquence for an hour, giving the political definition of the word "Revolution," the Inherent right of a people to engage In revolu tion, quoting Maoaulay as the author who said, "The violence of revolutions are proportioned to the degree of mal administration of the governments that produced them." Mr. Montague then dwelt on the spirit of liberty of tbe early colonists and the causes leading up to the revo lution of 1776, quoted the Declaiation of Independence and showed that the constitutions of the new states derived their authority solely and directly from the people. The wrongs we are suffering under now are far greater than those the revolutionary fathers successfully rebelled against. Sequestration of millions upon mil lions of acres of public lands, the heritage of all tbe people; the demone tization of silver and all tbe woes consequent on that infamous crime; tbe trusts; syndicates; bonds; money power; oppression of tbe laboring classes; calling out the military at tbe request of (he wealthy corporations; Delis. Where under the blighting rule of republicans or Democrats has the laboring man any chance ot better ing bis condition? Echo answers 'where?" Then tbe late dead, and we hope damned, republican legislature of Ore gon came in for some scathing sen-1 tenoes from the lips of the speaker, its unparalleled extravagance, tbe out rageous squandering of tbe money of the people, the wives and daughters of senators drawing pay as clerks, a dis grace to the state, and the best object lesson to exemplify the fact that rep resentatives do not represent. No remedy for all these evils seems possible except through tbe Initiative aud Referendum let all the people vote on those propositions in which all tbe people are interested; but that amendment will never be peaceably engrafted into our Constitution. Tbe money power will always defeat it. Nothing but tbe n ight of American manhood can ever accomplish this most desirable result, and then only through revolution. Mr. Steen paid a glowing tribute to the gentleman on the affirmative side, whose arguments he did not attempt to disprove, but rattier to cliuch. At tbe close of bis well chosen words an invitation was extended to any who desired to ome forward and sign their adherence to the Ouiaha Platform and thus become members of the Populist club of Lebanon. About 30 additional names were added to tbe club. Patriot. Bead the ad of Klein, Dubruille & Co., on this page. The ladies of tbe M.

Mayer & Kimbrough have sold their grocery store back to Mrs. R. N. Peebler, who has al ready taken charge.

Rivers, in jail for stealing har ness, etc., seemed to have the most in fluence over the condemned boy, and it is thought was the cause of bis per slstent story of the McKercher version of the killing. He Is said to have con' tlnually bcld out the hope that the Governor would send a pardon or re prieve if he stuck to that view of it. The night before the execution he bad nearly an hour's . private talk with Montgomery. Among the sheriffs present were: Johnson, of Lane; Cathcart, of Doug las; Osborne, of Benton; Sears, of Multnomah; Ford, of Washington; Henderson, of Yamhill; Kuigbt, of Marlon, , his Lima, Thursday afternoon Montgomery penned tbe following letter and at night gave it out for publication : Albany, unn (jo. ,ur., Jan, 30, vm. Dsas Brothers and Sisters: I take this last oportunity of w riting to you a few lineB. I feel as though I roust send to you one more message before my time arrives to cross that dais river, although my mind is not as clear as 1 would like to have it to write this last letter to you all, and besides ray nerves is somewhat unstrung this morning. I fully realize that this is my last day on this earth ; only a few hours more and I will be no more here below, and I feel when my soul departs irom my Body that my name will appear on that great register in heaven, and when the great judgment day comes I will answer to it. I cannot find words sufficient to explain my feelings and situation. This life seems to me like a dream, in fact life is nothing but a dream; but remember, dear brothers and sisters, that when we depart from this life here below we must be prepared to gain that eternal lite on high, where there is no sin and sorrow. And dear sister you told me you have joined the church of God. I trust and hone you will keep your promise to me and live up to God's word and be bis faithful servant until the end, that you may wear a crown of glory in the world to come. And, dear brothers, I wish to repeat to you what I have said before; stop and tmna peiore it is too late, mat you may b aelivered from darkness into light. I trust and hope that you may live a long and happy Christian life. I feel as though the prayers for me has been heard and answered and hope when vour time is near at hand to die you all can say the same, and I hope that the good Christian people will extend a word lor you all in their prayers a well as me. It seems to me hard to leave vou all so young in life in such a way ae I have to go, out as long as it has to be done tbe sooner it is over the better. I am ready to say "Jesus take me as I am." I am ready to go and meet our father and mother in heaven, and I hope when your tune comes mat we win all meet around that bappy throne where the word tareweil is never used, and when the race of this life is run our Master can say, "Well done, my faith ful servant." Then why should we Bigh or fear to die, When truetian in Jeuutt upou high. Though we here should meet ao more, Yet there is a brighter shore, There released iron) toil ttu.l puio, There we all may meet Kgttiu. Now, dear ones, I will briug this to a close. When this readies you, and oe- foie your eyes follow these, my last lines to you, I will be cold in death. I feel that niv prayers have been answered, so God be with you all, We will meet in heaven. Farewell; fare well, Lloyd Montoomihy. Important Notice. All persons are hereby notified that the city council has passed an ordi nance providing for the tuking up and killing of unlicensed dogs.
