The greenback charge against Judge
Wilson is sample of the &" electioneer-
ing lodges used by the Democracy
during the present canvass. In every
instance these charges have been proven
utterly false and without even color of
truth. 1t constitutes the sole and only
weapon used by them to defeat the nom
inees of the Republican party. The quail
iticatlons of our candidates are undisput-
ed, the truth of the principles advocated
by them cannot besuccessfully combatted.
therefore are they compelled to resort to
SANDER and downright falsehoods against
their characters to pref judice the voters of
Oregon against them. Do the voters of
Oregon approve of such means to blacken
the character of good citizens and divert
their attention from the true issues of the
canvass? No; and the election of the
entire Republican ticket in June will put
the seal of condemnation on such mean
ness.

Democrat says the 9Th resolution does
not mean reputation, and abuses all of
Its cotemporaries who claim that it does

that the resolution, he being the author,

able adjustment means reputation, and
his people have not condemned but re-
warded him. We not only have the au-

What would you think of a citizen of
Albany who accosted another resident
with " You have my note for 500,
drawn five years since, on which l
have paid twelve per cent. interest annu-
ally. Now l wish to equitably adjust
this matter. AS I have paid you $50 in
terest on the note, the sixty dollars should
be subtracted from the principal, which
would leave me still $40 in your debt.
Now, [ am willing to pay you the $40,
'equitably' your due, and lift the note Z"
You would say that he was either fool
or knaye. Yet this is one of the def
nitions given to the Sth resolution of
the Oregon Democratic platform.

THEIR REcoRp- On the first page of
to-day's issue we give few facts in the
past history of certain leaders in the
Democratic party that place them in no
enviable light before the honest voters of
Oregon. And while the record of these
men proves them not entitled to the con
fidenee of our people, it also proves that
the charges against the honesty and in
tegrity of Hon. j. G Wilson, Republican
candidate for Congress, are net only un-
founded, but absolutely and wilfully
false

the faith which they have tried to make
the people believe was in them. Only two
Democrats came to their feet, and unre-
servedly proclaimed themselves to be in
