With the " clash of"-words, which
ceased after the close Of the democratic pri.
maries on Saturday. aud which latter has
probably determined who the democratic
nominees for. county Offices will be, all per-
sonal preferences for men were set aside, and
now a determination to meet the enemy in the
coming election with an unbrokeu front aud
roll up full democratic majority seems to
be the united sentiment of the party. Al
though the means resorted to to defeat some
of the candidates may have been unpleasant
to them and their friends, it can not be de-
MED that such +" tactics" are usual. In such
cases it must be conceded that the opposing
parties are sincere 10 their desire to promote
the interests of their friends, aud when the
battle is begun genuine zeal in working
to promote such interests is more to be COM
mended than deprecated. For those who,
in such cases, allow their zeal to get the
better of their Judgment the wise can fad
ready excuse If the defeated candidates
are satisfied to accept the situation, certainly
their friends should be; and we have the
assurance of most of the former that they
are now ready to equip for the fight against
the common enemy to help to elect full
democratic county ticket, and to give ou r
democratic candidate for the delegateship a
larger majority Than any other three counties
in the Territory. We are more than glad
to see this spirit m,nifest for, aside from
the important national issues connected with
the Delegate question, we regard the next
election, for various reasons, as the most i'm
portaut to the democratic party ever held in
the county.
The radicals have boasted that there
has been material change in the political
sentiment in this county during the past two
years, in their favor, and upon this slender
thread they have suspended hope of elect
ing radical county ticket. 1t, therefore,
becomes our duty not only to prove that
there has been no such g material change, :"
but, by polling our full party vote, to es>
tablsh the fact, as We know it to exist, that
Walla Walla county is to-day more demo-
cratic than ever before.
Another boast of the radicals is that since
the establishment of their " orgon" here
they have greater incentive to work than
ever before, and that they can now confident
ly rely upon keeping their party together
and depend upon their voting iu mass for
their own party ticket. With this avOwed
purpose oil the radicals to " hang together, .
democrats certainly have greater reason to
be united and to yield no quarter to an ene'
my from which they can expect none.

Progress Of the Political Canvass.

Ed. SUBSTANTIALLY fight for the
Deegateship opened in this county at Waite
burg on Friday last, aud the discussion was
continued at Walla Wala on Saturday, be,
tween Mr. Gar6elde, the republican nomi-
nee, and Mr. w. H. Newell, who, in the ab
sence of Gov. Moore, had been selected by
the democracy to meet Mr. Gar6elde. The
turn out at Waitsburg was large, and the
crowd at Walla Walla was represented by
hundreds.
1t is not within the purpose of this COM
manication to give any detailed statement
Of the discussion. Each speaker had an
hour and half-Garfelde opening and clos
ing at both places. A large part of Gar
Gelde's speech was devoted 10 proving that
the rebel States, in their conventions, had
destroyed their State constitutions, and so
we're only Territories at the close of the war,
and hence the legislation Of Congress in the
reconstruction measures, was no invasion of
State rights. Mr.. Gaffelde proclaimed
with great flourish that he had discussed
this proposition with the leading democratic
orators of California and that none Of them
could meet it, If this be so, these demo-
cratic orators must be verdant tribe, as
never heard a more sophistical attempt at ar.
gument from any respectable quarter. The
argument on this proposition, together with
statement that the Chinese Embassy,
headed by Burlngame, was feted by Gov.
Haight of California, and that he (Gar6eli ie)
being in sympathy with all the departments
of the government could effect more for the
Territory than Governor Moore, constituted
about the substance of his address at the
two places.
Mr. Newell met all the propositions ad-
vanced and fairly riddled them, and in an
able manner presented The measures of the
democratic party and demonstrated that the
prosperity of the country was dependent
upon the success of these measures After
presenting these issues in q manner entirely
satisfactory to his friends, he proceeded to
draw a parallel between Moore and GAR
6elde. and to drag to light many of the in
cidents Of Gar6eld's life. such as his official
career as Receiver of public moneys in this
Territory, and some refreshing incidents COM
nected with his Carriboo career. In fact, be
threw shot aud shell hot and thick in the
republican ranks and more than sustained
bis reputation as debater, while the ex-
preston on all sides was that Gar6elde is
declining as an orstor and that his efforts
here were the weakest ever made by him in
a political canvass. In word, the democ
racy lost nothing in this county by the re-
cent discussion, asd all the signs indicate
big democratic vote and majority of from
200 to 300 for Moore. b.

ScURvY TREATMEST.-Tbe radical leaders in
this county-Baker, Cox l. Co.-cannot forgive
Garfelde for the manner in which be "pIayed y
them at the Vancouver Convention. Outwardly
they maintain a seeming show of respect, but
when not afraid of publicity they curse him like
drabs. Their treatment of the '' orator" whilst
at Walla Walla is an unerrng index to their
true feeling, and shows how utterly they abhor
the renegade. On his arrival they received him
in gloomy silence, and when be was going out
to Waitsburg, instead Of fitting him out with a
respectable team, they rugged up DR.. Bakers
milk wagon, and in that crazy old conveyance
the great spouter " made the trip to the Tou~
chet and back. On Sunday, when their guest
was about 10 leave them, the conduct of the
radicals was equally mean. Instead of patron
izing Tom Tierney or Abbott, they fitted up an
old carryall, and procuring a pair of broken
down "cayuses,' as also a driver who bad never
been over the road, they 10 uth1s style dispatched
their candidate on his way to waliuls, evidently
hoping they had seen the last Of him. Don
Quxotte when he went on his tilt against wind
mills never looked balfa as ridiculous as Gar6elde
did, as thus equipped be drove out of town. As
was expected, the team gave out before getting
to the crossing of Mill Creek, and the great
''orator" was seriously contemplating the plea
sures OF night tramp to Wallula, when Max.
Baumeister, thorough democrat, passed that
way, and seeing Gar6eldes pitiable plight, took
him into bis buggy, In which he continued his
journey, reaching Wallula in time to take the
boat. Had the democrats been apprised in time
they would cheerfully have raised the means to
send Garfede out Of the country respectfully.
As 1t is all the disgrace Of this scurvy treatment
rests with the radicals

GARFEELDE in his harangues has much to

A sufficient answer to all this humbug is the
fact that President Grant has just removed
GsrGelde from the Office of Surveyor General
and appointed regular carpet ia gger in his
place. The man who hasn't sufficient influ-
enee to save his own head is scarcely the

progress is good men for Office The voters
demand sober, as well as competent men, and
no whisky-jug can succeed. No man can
be elected in whose integrity the people do
not conGde. " Measures, not men," is an

better motto. Gentlemen Of the convention,

The "UNANIMoUs NOMINATION. Gar
ielde boasts of his 'uuauimous nomination,
but is careful not to tell how this unanimity
was brought about. The secret circular Of
Baker, Cox & Co, throws much light on this
subject, and shows that to secure the nomi
nation Garfelde did not scrup!e to resort to
the most unblushing fraud and corruption.
With knowledge of these facts, the more
honest radicals refuse him their support, as
is evidenced by the following, which we copy
from the Olympia Transcript, the ablest re-
publican paper published in the Territory
BY telegraph we learn that Mr.. Gar6ede
received the nomination for delegate 10 Con

THE DELEGATE ELEcTIoN.-Some per-
sons have fallen into the the error that the
Delegate to Congress to be elected 10 June
will only hold his Office for one year. The law
fixing the time for holding Delegate elections,
which we publish below, will set any such
right upon that subject. Another error,
that such officers as have heretofore been
elected at the same time with the Delegate
are to be elected next year and every two
years thereafter, is also corrected by the law
as published. 1t is probable that the next
Legislature, for the sake of economy, will
otherwise provide" for the election of these
officers, so as to make them elective at the

= HvMBue4Ne. -EaEERs----Radical orators

HEatp4ta4Ns. -HarERs.--Radical orators
and snouters have much to say about the
inheritance of clectiug a delegate who will
be IN harmony with Congress and the Exec
utiye and thereby be enabled to secure as
favor that which would be denied as matter
:. Of justice, and right. This idea is set fortn
in the radical platform and is urged by Mr.
Gar6elde in his address to the voters OF
Washington Territory. The men who put
forth this arpument seem to fail to compre-
bend the infamy Of the proposition. Ihe
idea that Congress or the President in deai'
inc with the Territories know no higher
motive than mere partisanship is foul libel
that stamps its authors as thoroughly dishon
est, The. history of the Territory gives the
lie TO the assertion. In 1861, Gov. Wallace
was elected delegate, aud on his arrival at
Washington found himself in perfect accord
with CONGRESS and the Executive. Now, what
great favors did Gov Wallace secure for the
Territory? The appropriations for surveys,
mails, the executive, legislative, judicial and
various incidental expenses of the Territories,
are always based upon estimates submitted
bv heads of departments, and would be made
equally we'll if the Office of delegate was
abolished. Now, outside these routine ap-
proprialions careful scrutiny of Wallace's
two years 10 Congress shows that he did
not originate single measure calculated to
benefit the Territory. SO,too, OfA A, Denny,
another delegate who was in full accord with
Congress and the Executive, and whose rec
ord may be summed up thus He left the
business of legislating for the Territory to
men of more brains than himself, and chiefly
signalized his career by the practice OF
miscrly economy that enabled him at the
end Of his term to buy a small saw mill. In
Flanders case the record is equally barren.
Appropriations to carry on the machinery OF
government continued to be made, but not
single measure of local or Territorial impor-
tance can claim Alvan Flanders as Its pro
iector. In his two years term Mr.. +. never
rose above the surface, and the only achieve
ment for which he is likely 10 be remembered
is that of getting into Jail for the Ion pay
ment of his honest debts, and then etfecting
his own release by pleading the "baby act"
This is the record of Messrs. Wallace, Dem
ny and Flanders, all of the radical persua>
sion, and all Of them elected on the plea that
they could do more for the Territory than a
democrat 1t is now proposed to add Gar
felde to the list; man of VIGOROUSLY bad
habits, and who is infinitely more likely to
make his mark in the gambling saloons at
Washington than he Is on the Legislation of
the country All talk of getting by favor
that which is denied to justice and right is
empty twaddle, and the man who is in this
way fooled into voting for GarGelde will 6nd
in the end that he is badly sold.
