The picnic given by Co. I at
Macleay on Saturday wna a bloom
t ,i inriw sized success. A love-
i..,inv in June was propitious to
...i.. mairinir. and a drive of
.!i.t,n(a over a cood road -was
real exhilarating. $ Everybody in
town who owned or could procure a
vehicle turned out to the festivity,
ami during the forenoon the road
tween the two points presented
. .,imnfod annearauce. Visitors
frnm the surrounding country also
gathered to the ground, and during
the afternoon wneu iuu tjuuoia uu
all gathered there must have been
fully 3,000 people assembled. The
day was perfect, the grove was just
adapted for such ft holiday gather
ing, and Co. I had provided such
varied amusements that time did
not nail. About 11 o'clock, Capt.
a fipoupr. who acted as master of
ceremonies, introduced Prof. G. M.
Lane, who had consented to give
the opening address. This was
listened to by a largo crowd, and
was characterized with this eminent
speaker's appropriateness of senti
ment and facility of expression.
This was succeeded by one or two
airs from the Silverton Trombone
Band, which discoursed excellent
music during the day.
Then followed somejoratorical exer
cises by the school children, several
adults taking part, which were well
. selected and very creditably given.
Dinner was then announced, and
the large crowd repaired to their re
spective lunch baskets, the refresh
ments were spread on the grass, and
several hundred happy parties were
soon discussing the good things pro
vided. Those unfortunate bachel
ors who were there unprovided, were
hospitably cared for by the people of
Macleay, and no one was allowed to
go hungry. This writer partook of
the hospitalities of Capt. Gesner and
wife and fared bountifully.
Towards 2 o'clock an audience
gathered in front of the speakers'
stand, and Judge J. J. Shaw, of
Salem, was appointed moderator.
The object was to give the county
delegates a chance to bo heard. Mr.
T. L. Davidson (democrat) opened
the symposium, who gave his
hearers a sensiblo fifteen minutes'
talk on the wool tariff. He gives
the number of sheep in the country
at 45,000,000, and 60,000,000 of people
wanting clothing and blankets.
Tho protective policy he pronounced
an unwise one,- because it compels
our farmers and manufacturers to
sell in a free trade market and buy
in a protected one, where there is ft
discrimination of 47 per cent against
them. There aro three quarters of a
million tenant farmers in this
country, and the farming interest
was steadily going down.
Mr. James Annstrong, (republi
can) was tho next speaker. He said
there were three parties on the
tariff question. One who, like
Henry George and his followers,
wanted to pull down our custom
nouses and nave free trade with all
the world. A second party who
would tax a few imported articles
for revenue purposes only; and a
third party who wanted protection.
u was not tliere to argue lor a wool
Jdigarchy. Ho noticed that
the hop growore were now bestirring
themselves with a demand for a pro
jective duty of 25 cents a pound on
their product. Thero was no doubt
Jeal in this, but a zeal not accordlug
knowledge. The speaker gave
hla hearers quite a lively republican
talk.
Prof. T. C. Jory (prohibitionist)
next called to tho stand, who
U the real Issue before tho country
was not tariff but prohibition the
home against tho saloon. The talk
that we listen to on all hands Is not
hout the protection of labor, but
Jhe protection of capital. Tho In
terest of the people was subordinated
to that of the governing class. The
Professor then read tho prohi state
Pwtfonn, and commented on Its
veral resolutions at eomo length.
These speakers were succeeded by
) H. Downing,John MInto, T. W.
"ayenport, who set forth their views
democratic, republican and Prohl
n succession. These were acuta fol
lowed by Chfls. Miller. T. T. Gear
nd
W. T. Van Sooy, who In turn
appearance to
While tho talking was going on a
spirited game of base ball was being
played by the Willamettes of Salem
and tho Chemawn club. It lasted
about 1$ hours, and was watched
with great interest, by a large con
course of spectators. A number of
couples stayed on the ground for a
dance in the evening, aud this exer
cise was kept up till the witching
hour of night.
The day was very heartily enjoy
ed by tho thousands of persons who
took part in the festivity, and the
officers and men of Company I are
to be complimented for the success
ful entertainment they gave. The
best of order prevailed; no strong
liquor was allowed on the ground,
and no sign of inebriety were seen.
This mixture of politics with holi
day mnKiug is quite an agreeable
combination.
folk County rolltlcs.
Hon. J. D. Lee, of Dallas, late
state senator from Polk county, was
in the city this morning, on his way
to Stay ton, In this county, where ho
will discuss tho political issues of
tho day to-night, and to-morrow.
A Jouknal reporter found Mr.
Lee at the Chemeketc hotel this
morning, and, in reply to his In
quiry concerning the general out.
look in Polk county, Mr. Lee re
plied that he thought it very good.
"Of course," said he, "we can
hardly tell what tho third party
may do for or against us. It is ft
doubtful quantity, but I don't think
they are drawing much from our
ranks."
"What do you think of tho out
look for tho legislative ticket," was
asked.
"I think our nominees aro very
strong men," he replied, "and I
think their chances are good. The
democrats are making an extra ef
fort in favor of Seal's for senator and
Walker for representative, though."
It was learned from other sources,
fully reliable, yesterday, that the
democrats had decided to trade
every other ofllce in that county for
these two candidates. Tho prohibi
sionlsts, too, aro making a particu
larly strong fight against the repub
lican nominee forstatc senator, Hon.
E. T. Hatch, but how they they ex
pect to help the cause of clean gov
ernment, and temperance by defeat
ing him, Is hardly evident. The
republicans, being forewarned, how
ever, are armed for the fray in good
style, and will use, their utmost en
deavors, to elect the full ticket there.
A Case for the Police.
That mob, misnamed tho "salva
tion army" has moved its den from
the old M. E. church building, back
of tho city jail, to the C. P. church
on High street, though why they
should be allowed to disgrace a
place dedicated to tho worship of
the Christ and God Almighty is not
known. Their first "halleluiah"
there, occured on Saturday night,
and the decent people who live with
in a radius of two or three blocks of
there, are tired of it already. On Sat
urday night, the whole mob gathered
in front of old man Long's house, on
Church and Marion streets, the
Long family being pillars and main
stays of the organization he, and
a terrible row and racket was kicked
up. It was thought that blood-shed
would bo tho outcome of the distur
bance, from tho way tho air was
filled with profanity and abusive
language. Then yesterday after
noon and last night, the discordant
sounds of a bass drum aud tambour
ine, mixed with the cracked voices
of the "hallelujah lasses," as they
term themselves, and their follow
ers, was enough to shame "pando
mondlum" Itself. Tho people af
fected by their change of base will
not tolerate this noisy gang very
long at its now quarters, and they
should be arrested for disturbing the
peace.
Salfra's Loss la Albany's Gain.
Mr. Mount, brother of H. D.
Mount, informed a Jouiinal re
porter this morning that the chair
factory would bo rebuilt at Albany
instead of Salem. This Is because
Albany wanted to add one to her
already largo list of growing enter
prises, and made these gentlemen an
offer that was very satisfactory.
While the people of Salem have
been looking on, tho city of Albany
has captured an enterprise that will
give employment to about twenty
men. The writer merely mentions
this, in order that the business men
of Salem may appreciate how valu
able is their inaction to the other
towns in a matter like this.
