THE WORKINGMEN's MOVE.
NENT.

The result of the late election in
New Hampshire, shows, according to
the telegraph, the same Republican
vote without any striking increase or
diminution. On the other hand, q
large proportion of the Democratic vote
went over to the Labor Reform move
ment, which reckoned its strength al
most wholly from such accessions. The
fact is suggestive. The supporters of
the labor interests of the country are
to be found in the Democratic ranks,
and no movement based upon that
distinctive question can expect recruits
from the Republican party, simply be-
cause the material for them is not
there. Another most excellent illus
tretion Of the same thing is manifest
ed in Oregon. The workingmen's as
sociation in Multnomah county has,
from It's inception, encountered the
opposition of the entire Oregon Repub-
icah press. Wit, burlesque, nisrep-
resentation and all the means OF a re-
lentless and piratical warfarei have
been directed against it. And this
shows % the animus of the party to-
ward movements in the interests OF
labor and against monopolies, and (2)
that, of those engaged in it, the larger
portion were Democrats. The approx
al of Col. Chapman for the guberna-
torial candidacy, by the Multnomah
Democracy, may be proftably contrast
ed with the action of the Republican
party in reference to the labor move
ment. Whether in New Hampshire,
or in Oregon, the fact is practically
the same. The interests of labor
and the sympathies of the laborer
are with the Democratic party.

significant character. This bill will
make it one of the mightiest instru-
ments of power on the face of the
globe. In addit on to the objection
that it strikes at the root of the system
of American democracy, it is open to
q multitude of practical objections that
commend themselves to the Judgment
of the most matter-of-faet men in the
world. 1t creates an army of Com
missioners. Itcreates an army of depu-
ty u. S. AIarshals. It occasions the
stationing of troops at convenient
points throughout the States. The
machinery it sets in motion is cumbrous
and expensive. The tyranny of the
measure, like many edged sword,
cuts in every direction. Is oppresses
and impoverishes the people with adj
ditional taxes. 1t virtually destroys
the power to correct abuses through
popular elections. by placing such cleo
tions beyond the control of the cleo
tors. 1t oyerawes the people with the
presence of an insolent soldiery.-
Hitherto the despotic spirit of the
dominant party has occupied itself
with the South. It now proposes to
devote little attention to the North
and if this hydra-headed measure is
to be the beginning, who can say
where the end will be?
We ask the white Republicans OF
America to particularly read the 5th
section of this bill and satisfy them
selves, if they can, that it is not cop
led verbatim from one of the pronun-
ciamentos of Napoleon the third. The
tactics of that autocrat are matters OF
every day comment. He too, stations
troops al concenient ponds and en-
camps q commanding force of such
troops in the parks, and other suitable
places of the cities of his empire, and
that too, upon occasions of less COM
parative moment, than n general cleo
ton would be in the United States. II
there is anything in this bill that
should command any other sentiment
than that of universal abhorance, we
should like to see it.

We have enabled the Oregonian to
construct another article, column
and half this time, on the Astoria
Railroad vote in the Senate. That pa
per proves finally that seven Demo-
Gratis did vote against the bill upon
its final passage. Now we don't, and
never did know how the vote. stood
upon the final passage of the bill. The
only information that we had upon
that part of the subject was the state
ment in the dispatch: "the bill pass
ed" But, on the motion to amend, by
striking out the grant, the vote stood
three in favor and one paired off, and
thi was the vote to which we referred as
having taken place just before the pas
sage Of The bill. That was the only vote
telegraphed and inasmuch as it appear
ed to be taken upon test question, the
presumption was quite natural that
the vote upon the final passage was
not different.

writing these speeches for illiterate
Congressman. They write for any party,

of rascality is matter Of Globe record.

can bundle votes into Benton county, at

a feat in finance almost equal to some
