This being an indisputable fact, colored voter* are aaking and demanding a new ar rangement. and unleas made by the G. O. P.. aome other party can aure- ly be found which will give the prop er respect and consideration for the million* of colored vote*. Oregon's office holders care very little about the colored vot* to Judge by the niggardly con sideration shown them in the way of political recognition. This may have had something to do with Ore gon, a Republican state, having ■ Democratic Governor and a Demo cratic Congressman.
