Republicans Condemned t as Tyrants and Traitors' and Democratic Victory Predicted. ' - The.Democratie banquet celebrating the anniversary of Thomas Jefferson, at the Willamette note! last evening was abri iTTant suecess, and inrportant as a social and political function. The banquet hall waa artistically decorated in evergreens and American flags, while on the walls in Conspicuous places bung pictures of . Jefferson, Jackson and Governor Chamberlain.- The playing fountain in the .center of the room formed an important part of the deco ration, ami made a pretty center piece around wiuch the . banqueters revelled until long past midnight. . By 8 o'clock the lobby of the Hotel was filled with the faithful and some of those who have not been considered such . The remark was frequently nearu inat "i uu not fcnow there were so many Democrats in Salem." and it seemed that many had slipped in to en joy the festivities who do not feel hon ored to be' associated in public with such a crowd, - , At 8:30 i Me Elroy 'a orchestra struck up a march and the guests filed into the hall and took their places .around the tables, 125 strong. .'The speakers of the evening occupied seats on the north of the hall on either side of the toast- rasa ter. The menu served included the following: Eastern oysters, consomme, La Savarin, celery, French olives, sweet pickles, dill pickles, crab salad, chicken salad, cold ham, tongue, veal, nuts, raisins, . assorted ea)ke, oranges, coffee, Burgundy,, Reisling, , and cigars, by which it may be seen that the guests did not lack for something to eat, to satisfy the inner man, and their ; intellectual craving was . more than quenched by the three hours of speech making. It was a veritable Democratic love feast, and if the out side Republicans had. realized how their; names were being slandered, their blushes would have been visible in the dark,- ' Every speaker on the program was an orator of rare ability, and held the rapt attention of the large audience. The treneral trend of a good many, of the speakers was to tell of what had been accomplished by Democrats :in the past, and of the wrongs inflicted on the people by the . urana via Party." Every accusation ever made by any member of any outside party was refuted, and the terrible crisis on hand and the crying need of a return of Democracy to ; power to save the Union from destruction, was depicted in glowing terms. The candidacies for one or more offices were by infer ence launched, including that of Wm. R. Gallowav for circuit judge. Dr. W. 8. Mott, of Salem, acted as toastmaster and carried his part well, a pretty vein of humor pervading alt of his remarks, and' uttering many senti ments which struck responsive chords in tho breasts of the patriotic Demo crats assembled.. In a pathetic appeal, he said: "May not' the government again be in the bands of the people. Let us strive to emulate the example of our forefathers and thus be worthy the name of Democracy." ; Opportunity of Democracy. When the name of Governor Cham berlain was announced, he-was greeted with deafening applause. He told of his pleasure at meeting with the stal wart Democrats of Marion county and the entire state. He, placed the audi ence in a good humor and receptive mood by telling of the typical Demo crat "who lived to a ripe old age be case he had alwaya ;-voted the Demo cratic ticket and drank whiskey straight. , -r J. 1 ... ,-, - " . -, , - "Today we have the same fight Over again : which' Jefferson fought against the conseravtism of Adams. ; It is the same fight which Jackson fought.

The eJ sentials on which-we can agree should j be drafted in the St. Louis platform, and we can agree , on the non-essen-tials." -' ' - The Governor's speech was peculiar ly a rebuttal of the principles of Re publicanism, and its charges against Democracy; Said he: "They tell us we can not Changs' our, platform. Jt is possible for the Democrats to do any thing. sWs can change as we did in 186S and other times..
