OuE Portland, occasional, cores
pondent, Smith, seems to be an un-
lucky genius. In one of his letters,
published in the DEMOCRAT of January
2lst, he commented on n Spiritual
lecturer; whereupon an irate individ-
ual, who signed after his own proper
name, the words =" boot and shoe ma
ker" let fly at his head half column
of savage and sarcastic literature which
ought to have gratified the splentic
humor of the writer, even if it did not
appall our correspondent. But it
did nothing of the kind, for the ap-
pearance of Smith in our issue of week
before last, is made the occasion for
nearly columnful in the Commercial,
which, though not adorned with
the signature and avocational menace
of the first attack, nevertheless bears
the unmistakable signs of having the
same origin. Smith, deserves SYM
pathy. However willing he may be to
take up the glove when it is thrown at
his feet, he has no alternative but to
dodge when last is thrown at him.

PLAIN TALK!

The PlaindeaLeI. of 9th remarks: "It
i'll becomes any Democratic newspa-
per to attempt any Interpretation of
this (the 6th) plank in our platform,
other than that which the Convention
intended; and it is folly and nonsense
for Republican journals to charge re-
pudiation-its meaning is apparant-
not reputation.
We are glad that our Roseturg CO.
temporary has raised it's voice against
that pestilential abortion, +" "repudi-
tion' The debate upon that ill-starred
Sth, resolution, as it was originally
reported by the committee on resolu-
tions, has been the cause of all
the dispute that has grown out of that
resolution during the campaign. We
are proud at this manifestation of
sterling Democracy in our Douglas
county cotemporary.

INAsMUcH as every Radical journal in
the State is at war with us in our con-
struction of tins Albany platform, we
desire to ask of every. Democrat in the
State this question: Will you sup
port the platform Of your party or do
you propose to support platform
made for you by the Radicals and
their sympathizers? Every sane man
can see by our last issue, in the article
entitled ''Coming to the Point" that
the platform is self-sustaining and
self-interpreting institution and needs
only to be read to be understood. It
construes itself.
The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1870-05-13

The OreYnnidn OF the Sth intimates,
by implication, that our protest
against lis endorsement Of the Fay
construction of the sth resolution OF
the Albany platform. was not made in
due time In our issue of April LIST,
the first opportunity that We had to
express ourselves on the subject, we
made use of the following language :
at (the platforn) embodies no such n
proposition as repudiation, and such n
charge made against the Democracy of
Oregon is slanderous and false" This
was our first utterance and our first
oppoi tunity for an utterance. This
proposition we have endeavored TO the
best of our humble ability TO maintain
against the enemies of the Democratic
party both within and without its
ranks ever since. We never seriously
supposed at the outset that any one
would be guilty of such cabalistic non-
sense as to attempt to construc equita-
ble adjustment to mean wholesale
robbery.

ORATOR PUFF.

We like to accommodate friend
We are particularly anxious to accom-
modate very dear friend like the Or
egmian by belieyeing all that he says.
When that paper Of May 4th reached
us, we found among other things
dished up for that day, the following
tit-bit:
Mr.. Skaters new dodge is to pay" the nation
nj debt Jg fssaing 0reeubacks enough 10 meet the
WHOLE AMOUNT.
OF course the italics and small caps
are ours. In keeping with the spirit of
accommodation claimed in the first part
of this paragraph, we gave this quota
ton the fullest credit. It indicated
the position of the Democratic party
everywhere. It indicated the position
of the DEMOCRAT on the vital eighth
resolution. Itindicated what the posi-
ton Of every Democratic nominee in the
State ought to be. And we were glad
to find that it indicated Mr.. Slater's
position; particularly so, inasmuch as
an attempt had been made to make
him appear to endorse the nonsen-
sical and preposterous gold stand
ard" theory, or the Fay platform
(Which is the gold standard theory
run to seed.) But, as if to show how
unstable are all things human, only
two days from the time the above ex-
tract made its appearance, the Oregon
ian came to hand with another refer
ence to Mr.. Slater's position, to-wit:
I've quote from the Issue Of May Gth).
II. stiii explain. "equitsbis adjustment" To
mean that the gold :alue Of he bonds the tinle
they werr sDid by the GoyerAnmeDt shall be az
IeertHined. and they shall be settied paid" on
that bass. The surplus. or - b1nus." he ealls
it. is Of e"nr,e TO be rejected or repudatcd.
Now this oyertaxcs our credulity.-
The OreJonian, making single speech,
the subject of its comments, assigns
to Dir. Slater two directly opposite
Ipositions upon the same question
and all within the space of two days
We hope the Orcgonian will not be of.
Tended if we most respectfully, yei
firmly, decline to bestow upon both o!
these statements our full and implicit
belief.

TIE Piaindeale, says THAT those pa
pcrs who are opposed TO the sth reso-
luton are like rams butting against
the wall" So say we, and believe with
the PiaindealeT "that although the but
ting may be vigorous, we guess the
wall can stand it," Every paper
which has hitherto attempted to go of
OF the platform and begun the opera
ton of butting against the sth resoiu-
ton has come off worsted. This is
notorious. We admire the pluck OF
the Piaindealer, bat think that when
an enemy's batteries are silenced and
the white flag suspended from it's bat
Elements, that further hostilites
should cease. We are aware that
prominent journals were at one time
giving to the Sth plank in our plat
form IAN Interpretation other than
that which the convention intended. .
But they are not doing so now.
Fair play is bonnie play
The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1870-05-13

WE should feel very much humilia-
ted did the Radical press endorse us
in our ideas on the 8th resolution.
We are not of that school of politi-
clans that believe in conforming to the
views of the enemy. We have lived
too long to expect encouragement
fiom our political opponents. We
would mistrust our competency to ad-
vocate Democratic principles did we
not receive Radical Misrepresentation
deserve Radical censure.

The Oregonia1a of the 5th instant,
speaking Of the Sth resolution of the
Democratic platform, says: 1t is
singular, indeed, that any difference
of opinion should arise as to the in
depreciation of document that in
terprets ITSELF" Now this exactly
what we have been thinking and urg-
ing for some time; and we are very
much pleased at this manifestation of
returning reason on the part of the
Oregonian. Before the campaign is
over it will require considerable argu-
ment, no doubt, to convince that pa
per that there was any reasonable
ground for more than one opinion
about the meaning of the immortal
9Th resolution, and the man who will
dare insinuate that equitable adjust
nent could be tortured to mean repu-
diatfon will be looked at as unfit to
run at large. and pointed out as a
proper subject for the issuance of a
commission de lunattco inquirendo.

METROPOLITAN LOGIC.

In our article of last week in which
we endcavored to show that tho Sth
resolution does not mean Reputation
of any part of the public debt, we
have touched up the sensitive nature
of the Oregonian to such an extent
that it has become unbalanced and
been compelled to resort to that der
nier resource unmeaniDg invectives
and bungling efforts at humor-to COW
er up its stupidity. When q journal
that processes respectability answers
any given proposition by exclaiming
Usage conclusions, it confesses it's in
ability to reply by argument. When
that journal asks chow does the DEMO
GRAFT propose to get rid Of the semi
annual interest EXCEPT by repudiating
the principal?" rs an answer to the
plain language of the resolution that
the Democratic pnrty propose to pay
the principal and thus stop the inter-
est-its obtuseness is only equalled by
its eiirontery. And when that paper
insists that urging the payment of the
principal and interest according to the
terms of the contract is reputation.
we can only say what Goldsmith said
of the village pedaSogue
I'm arguing u the parsnn. az, ned his akll.
For even though vangnishcl he could argue ftill."
"The fanciful division" of that Sth
resolution il another thorn III the side
of our acrobatic contemporary, and be-
trays the illy-conccaled cliagrin, with
which his heart il fostering, ut the fu-
tile efforts it has made TO fasten upon
the Democratic party its pet theory Of
reputation. While there was any
difference between Democratic jour
mails, the Oregonian was daily pattinS
one side on the back and tanntin2 the
other To engage III controversy. When
| that failed it turned and now assails
us rs repudiationist. That journal
is bound To admit, il truthful ad-
mission can 10y any possibility be ex-
torted from it, that NC have earnestly
and consistently opposed Reputation
during the campaign. And when We,
in answer To the continued ciaInor oil
the Orrgomidn, make that resolution
sustain and interpret itself nJdinsd re.
pudiation, we are gravely told that oul
position il undigniiied and that we are
to be laughing stock for everybody
And this is the logic OF n metropolitan
daily journal, that nrrogates To itsel
brains, consistency and rcspectability
When we show by the resolution itsel
that ii means payment according 10 th'
terms of the contract the Orcgonian re
plies: why has not the convention
SO declared?" Let us apply this samr
style of logic TO the assertion of tina
journal, that the resolution means re
pndiation, and would it not have reason
to complain of unfairness? We ar,
glad that it has opened its batterie
upon us. We would rejoice wer
it foeman more worthy Of our steel
