The peoples money is sent spinning in
every direction, all at the behest aud viii
of this party always so clamorous-be
fore election-tor ECONOMY in the public
expeuditures.t The sudden and unex-
pected power placed in the hands of men
unaccustomed and unqualified to use it,
has crazod and naddened them, and, like
drunken rabble, they seem intent on
doing only mischief.
The Republicans elected by the citi-
zens of Benton county to represent their
interests in the Legislature have been
turned out By that eminent body of pat
riot Democratic law makers, and the men
whom the majority of the people con-
demDed as unworthy to serve them, in
stalled in their stead. This was not en-
tireIy unlocked for The whole course
Of the Democratic majority since the or
ganization Of the present Legislature,
has been one of natchless arrogance and
untlushing mendacity. The evidence
adduced showed conclusivelJ that Messrs.
Witham, Dunn aud Kelly received ma
joIity Of the legal voters of Benton
county, and were entitled to their seats
but to prove the high regard these grand
chiefs Of the Democracy have for the
will OF the people Of Benton county,
their chosen representatives are ousted,
and the men whom they refused to
honor with their suffrages, are foisted in
their places And this is the doing of
Demoera'ic Legislature. They have
thus thwarted, in the most unscrupulous
aud tyrannical manner, the will of the
majority of the legal voters of Benton
county. This party that has been so loud
IN its condemnation OF 'acts of tyranny and
oppression" as soon as the power is given
it, shows by its acts how little confidence
is to be placed in any of its assererations
or promises, by committing the most
fragrant and outrageous acts of tyranny,
and that, too, without shadow of excuse
or palliation. In the light of these out
RACES committed without reason OF law,
can honest men still call themselves
Democrats and affiliate with a party that
eounteuances and upholds such villainy?
ANTI DEMocRATIC.-Sena Stout, of
Mulnomah county, recently introduced
IN the Legislature bill creating some
new features in the Charter of Portland
city. The two principal points in the
bill are, first, the granting authority to
bhe city to create an indebtedness of
S4QO, 900 for the purchase or erection of
gas and water works, and second, author
Fzing the Governor of Oregon, inmedi-
ately on the passage of the bill, to ap-
point Police Judge to supercede the
present Recorder, and a Board of Police
Commissioners, who shall organize new
police force In the place Of the present
force This bill is gotten up for the pur.
pose of s.humiliatiDg Republican city,
ignoring the rights of the people to elect
their OWN officers, and placing the ap-
pointing power in the hands Of Gov. Gro
ver and his political satellites This is
another evidence of the love and regard
the Democratic party OF Oregon has for
rights and viii of the dear people. Know
ing that the majority of the voters in
Portland are Republicans, and. that there
fore as long as they are left to choose for
themselves they will elect Republicans
to Office, the Democratic party, the mo-
ment it gains the power, hastens to crush
out the will Of the people as expressed at
the ballot box, takes the reins of
government from the hands of the people,
and places it in the hands of a Democrat
lcI Executive Here Is an exhibition eff
Democratic popular sovereignty We tell
them it is setting bad precedent, should
this bill pass-a precedent that Will YET
De bitterly repented by the party now in
power.
