In the eleventh numter of the Bu,-
lein we find the following on the ques-
ton of Senator:
GAS we view the race, there will be
two or three wofully mistaken aspir-
ants, and it will not surprise us if, after
all, some person, now barely if at all
reckoned iu the party states, shall prove
to be the honored victor. We shall re-
frain from the mention Of names here,
but We are very confident that one or
two, who now are almost certain of
election, will find themselves so badly
beaten, and by one so unexpectedly in
their way, that they will recover from
their surprise only when too PROSTATE
to rise and too powerless to interpose
either in their own behalf or az against
the success Of their freshly raised but
triumphant competitor"
This most certainly cannot mean
Williams who is probably being deceiv-
ed But who does O'Meara refer to
We can think of no one save his mas
ter, Holiday. Go in, Ben; we some-
how like your style after all, and we do
not attach any blame to you in this
matter, and would think it wisdom in
you, if you have to elect some one to
the Senate by purchase, to buy your.
self in, and then we shall suspect you
are smart at least.

PORTLAND, Aug. 25, 1870.

PORTLAND, Aug. %, Io'o.
Ed. REPUBLICAN We notice 10
the Portland Bulletin, such laudatory
accounts of Williams and Holladay-
and diatribes about railroads, that we,
without power to resist, have become
even more suspicious of them and their
measures, and we have tried hard to
look upon the acts of those men>with
charity. am Republican and feel a
great interest in the party, but | have
lived in Oregon since 1914, and feel
greater interest in the success of the
country than in any man's promotion.
And, again, we have been personally
interested enough to carefully watch
events. We, the people on the west
side of the Willamette river, should
have had railroad running to the Co
lumbia river long since, had it not been
for some reasons which [ will give, and
then leave the subject for better
judges.
You are aware that the original Ore,
gon railroad bill provided that the road
should terminate on the Columbia river,
and that, through the efforts of Judge
Williams, Portland was made the north
ern terminus, deceiving many men in
Oregon and Washington City, who,
thinking Portland on the Columbia
river, while it is II miles from the up
per and 80 from the lower mouth Of
the Willamette and, at an expendi-
ture of thousands Of dollars year,
vessels with great difficulty reach Port
land in high water, and drop down to
the Columbia to load j; and all of this
extra expense comes out of the people
of the valley.
And again, when the people were al
most in possession of a railroad upon
the West Side, by slight turn of the
wrist, it was gobbled away from them,
after paying out their money, to the
great detriment Of their families and
by the untiring efforts Of Judge Will
iams in opposition to Mr.. Corbett, the
land grant was set aside to Ben Holla>
day, of California, and the road com.
menced upon the East Side, where it
can never become the main thorough.
fare; and with the threat, also, that the
road is not likely to go south of Eu-
gene City. This is railroad Develop
ment with vengeance.
And again, when the Pengra bill was
before Congress, and the Central Pa
cifc Railroad Company were prepar-
ing to build a road from Humboldt to
Eugene City, McMinnville and on to
the Columbia river, Williams amend.
ment defeated that measure, by com
pelling the road to come through South
ern Oregon, after large grant of land
had been donated by Congress for a
railroad on the same ground, virtually
damning the whole affair.
Now, let us see for one mement, the
profit railroad would be to Oregon,

tiful Willamette valley to McMinnville,
where no grant of land has ever yet
been given, and on to the Columbia
river; then to connect with the North
Pacific Railroad, making competing
line through the valley, giving an OUT

being to all eternity tributary to Cali

With cities springing up in our midst
to compete in purchasing our produce,
we could, with our natural resources,
compete with California and Washing>

We hope the people of Oregon will
wake up to their interest and see that
the Pengra bill passes in the original
form, so as to save US from the iron

lect so important an enterprise, their
children will rise up and curse them.

at his word, lay aside politics, accord,

US, and advocate men and measures
that will develop the country, and none
