Tliero was great excitement ami en- thusi»sm in the legislature lust imk week iluring the balloting for senator I he people of Salem all turned out. tlieie wer« crowds from other parts of the state, and the enthusiasm seemed to know no bounds when the anti-l'olph men made their speeches explaining their reasons for voting. I’enionstia- tions have been made on the streets, and in the galleries nt the state house il was almost imjHissible to keep order al times. The Dolph faction met with no encour agement in the way of cheering, am! it has seemed as if the whole state, irre spective of party, are clamoring for some man to heat Dolph The bolting legis lators have received telegrams ami peti tions signed hy thousands, urging them to stand firm against Dolph, and ills evident that the man who deserts tlm cause will have odium heaped upon him, be charged with selling out, and be con signed to political oblivion. The show of anti-1 >oi|ih enthusiasm has been very galling to Joe Simons ami Dolph's sup porters, but it seems as if the whole state, the people of Salem included, are bent on making themselves heard against ltolpli. The tIre.onian has made a few sickly attempts to show that certain lixailities are urging their representatives to vote for Dolph, but that pri|>er knows it is perpetrating a fraud when it publishes such stuff. It is awaie at the time that it is misrepresenting the status ofafluiis ami it ami a few politieiaiis are deter mined to bulldoze anti-l’olph men into deserting their standard. It lies when it asserts that Dolph is strong anywhere ami even in Portland a large majority of the people are against him, The sen timent throughout the state is almost unanimous, only a few spoils seeking politicians standing for Dolph, ami it seems that about 4 I of them are ill the legislature. The republican newspapers ol the state nre taking up the cause of the hollers, ami aie vigorously support- tlielii. It is developed that the people don't cate a continental for caucuses, do not want their lepresentatives to fei I bound by itch rules, and disapptove of being deprived of their rights ill any such manner. If the people could only get a elianee to vote on the question, it would «0011 be settled. The gradual weakening of Dolph's forces have discotirnged his foil, wets, and the abuse hca|aul upon Ilia oppo nents by the Oregonian'and Dolph's henchmen l.ave made the opposition Stronger.
