ELECTIONS LAST TUESDAY.

The telegraPhic reports of the State
elections, held last Tuesday, are 50 feqr-
fully muddled, and mixed up. and con-
ficting, that we are almost at loss to
grind out" anything ike an Ineligible
statement of facts with regard to the
matter. The reports through the tele,
graph, 50 far, are all from Radical au-
thorities, and of course embeIlishci with
vivid imaginations Of what they think
the result ought to be. Ohio has proba-
bly, gone Republican BY small majority,
though the Democracy have gained three
Congressman, and perhaps more. Penn
sylvania shows decided Democratic gains.
so far as heard from. Philadelphia goes
Democratic By about 1900 majority, the
Democracy gaining four Congressman in
that city. So far as heard from the
State is doubtful, both parties claiming It
by small majority. The same may be
said Of Indiana, though Radical sources
claim the State By 1000. There are
large Democratic gains in the southern
portion of the State, aud when the full
returns are in the State is as likely to be
Democratic as Republican.
In any event Democracy is gaining
ground, even though all these States 90
Republican by small nlajorities, for they
have for several years been Radical by
greater or less degrees. 1t will require q
very little more exertion On the part of
the friends Of the White Mans Party,
and Democracy will sweep every one of
them By handsome majorities in Novem.
Der. Then let Democrats not be dis
couraged, for it may be that at least the
old Keystone and Hoosier States are In
the hands of White, Right and Democ-
racy, and that the Buckeye State will
wheel into line in November and. along
with the other States that are certain to
go Democratic, viii cast their electoral
votes Tor Seymour and Blair, triumphant
ly electing them to preside over the des-
TIMES of the nation for the next four
years. Hurrah, for Seymour and Blair !
LATER.-Hon. George II. Pendletou
telegraphed to Judge Stout, at Salem, on
Thursday, that Ohio had probably gone
Republican, but that Indiana and Penn
sylvania were doubtful and still claimed
by both parties. This is authentic.

DEATH OF GEN. EzowELLCOBB.

Dispatches from New York, of the
9th inst, state that Hon. Howell Cobb,
Of Georgia, fell dead on the corridor of
the Fifth Avenue Hotel of that city,
on last Friday morning. The cause
Of his sudden departure for that un-
seen shore, with scarcely a note of
warning, is not stated, though it was
probably paralysis of the heart. SIr.
Cobb had bright intellect and a
giant mind, and his distinguished
ability as an orator and a Statesman
has won for him some of the most ex-
alted positions in the nation. lie was
born at Cherry Hill, in Jefferson
County, Georgia, September 7, 1915,
and consequently was SO years Of age
at the time Of his death. When a
child, his father moved to Athens,
Georgia, where he has since resided.
He graduated IN Franklin College in
1898; studied law, and was admitted
to the bar in 1896, and was Presi-
Dental eIector during that year. In
the year 1887 he received the appoint
ment of Solicitor General of the Wes-
tern Circuit, which he held for four
years. lie was elected Representa-
tive in Congress from his native State
in 1912, and reelected in 1914, 1916
and l848 and during his latter term
he was elected speaker. On his re-
tirement from Congress he was chosen
Governor of Georgia; and in 1855 he
was again elected to Congress and
on the accession of Mr.. Buchanan to
the Presidency, Gov. Cobb went into
his Cabinet as Secretary of the Treas
ury. He took prominent part in the
Confederacy during the war, and was
member of the Confederate Con-
gress and a Brigadier General in the
Confederate army. In his death the
people Of the South have lost true
friend and an able defender, and the
country a man of rare intellectual
abilities and noble impulses.

THERE WORK STILL.

Although only a little more than two
weeks elapsc between the present time
and the Presidential election, there is
still work 10 do. The people should
not rest content in the thought that
Oregon is certain to east her electoral
vote fcr Seymour and Blair, but they
should sec that the majority of June
last is largely increased. We believe
that with a rcasouablc amount of
watchful vigilance and dIligcnt labor
the Democracy can carry Oregon by
2, 90 majorty for the Democratic
ticket in November, aud why not go
TO work and do it? Every voter who
has the good of his country at heart,
aud who desires to see the land re-.
deemed from the reckless sway Of
Radical fanatics and public robbers
should bc up and doing. This is no
time TO faltcr or hang back in the
race. But a few days remain before
one of the most important elections
ever held in America will be de-
cidcd. Questions are TO bc dctcrlnin-
ed at the polls involving the pcrpctu-
ity or hopeless destruction OF the
Government, the preservation Of the
Constitution aud the Union, or dis
union and anarchy, liberty or dcspot-
ism, the establishment Of the rights oi
the people, or the cnslaycmcut OF the
MASSES, the peace aud happiness Of
American citizens, or confusion, mis-
rule and disorder for another period OF
four years. Every voter who iavors
the election Of Seymour, the states
man and patriot, aud who wishes to
defeat the timc-serving leaders OF the
Radical party, has duty to perform.
Not n vote must be lost. The De
mocracy, buoyant with hope and con
iidcnt Of victory, must swell their ma
jorltics everywhere in order that the
enemy may not only be defeated, but
properly rebukcd for the reckless ex-
travagancc and unfaithful stewardship
exhibited in the affairs of the Govern
ment. Unscrnpulous men, in secret
meetings, are endeayoring to check
mate the wishes of the people by pro
longing the term of Radical power.
These secret proceedings of corrupt
men for unworthy purposes must be
met by the united, determined action
of every true patriot. In every pre-
cinct in the county Democrats should
hold meetings, appoint committees
and do good work IN the cause from
now till the polls arc closed on cleo
tion day.

At the close of the last century in
England, great fears were entertained of
an immediate dissolution of all law and or
der in affairs of government, upon ac-
count of tho overshadowing public debt.
Every thing that could by possibility bear
upon the great question was written for
the public. Dir. Allison says, in his his
tory of Europe, that "Dr. Price demon
strated, with mathematical certainty, that
any sum, however small, increasing at
the ratio of compound interest, would, in
given time, extinguish any debt, how
ever great. He further said that, lit be-
ing laid out at compound interest, at the
birth of our Savior, would, in the year
ITS, have amounted to solid ratio of
gold eighteen hundred times the whole
weight of the globe !" But the British
Government wisely determined, for their
own good, never to attempt to pay the
debt of $4,000, 900, 900.

"Our remedy" says Gov. Seymour, "is
to use the public money to pay the pub
