oREooN ELEorIoN ABROAD.


While nearly all Of the Radical pa
pers of Oregon are jubilating over the
success of their party in making gain
upon the vote of 1868, and saying that
even defeat with them is victory, listen
to what the Sacramento Onion says on
this same subject, and let candid
people decide which exhibits the bet
ter Judgment:
.WAiisk R may 10 true that there was Rcpab-
lican gain In Oregon this year upon the votc Of
that party last. aud that there 10 dimipishcd
Democratic majority. thsrc 10 not In either circu,n
stance the least good caute fol coagratulatng tho
Republican party. Il has been alleged, with such
. show Of pr,.of % TO create belief In many
minds. that the issdcrs af the Republican party
Of Oregon this yeao nsest larae corruption fuad
the Legislasar- In favor of buekling an im,nen.e
debt upon the Stats In the way of subsidies. If
this Is true, the whole country should rejoice Mt
the defeat OF that party, aud mono more than
homes. Republicans = -
The victory by tho Democracy Of
this State is the greatest ever achieved
in the State, and, We think, among the
greatest that could have been achieved
in any State. Letthe depleted purses
of Williams and Corbett and their
hackers bear witness to the tens, nay.
hundreds of thousands of dollars that
were scattered for electioneering pur-
poses throughout the length and
breadth of this State. Let the lesions
Of voters who were hired to be ''home
guards" on election day testify Us to
the purpose for which these funds were
used, and the world will be compelled
to say with the Sacramento U"ion,
that "the whole country should rejoice
ut the defeat of the Republican party,
and none more than honest Republi-
cans" We fear that the Oregonian will
be tempted to read the U"io" out OF
| the party or denounce it as a repudia-
ton organ, for the course of the Ore
gonian during the last campaign has
been so devious and dubious that we
are prepared to see almost anything
appear in its columns. The recent
sudden change Of base Of that paper
with regard to railroad matters, is a
theme for reflection and suggests the
inquiry as TO whether or not the pecu-
MARY interests of that hish-.oned
journal were consulted when rail
road stocks, bu 1t up upon the expec-
tations of subscriptions, to be made oi
"soap, socks and pickles" were ex.
changed for more substantial and less
ephemeral considerations, in the shape
of what the U"ion calls q corruption
fund. The result of the late election
may possibly have been Republican
triumph-there is sea, cely doubt bu
that it was Republican Ga!n-for the
Oreoonton.

Our very particular friend, the Ore
gonian "slops over" at our iocular re-
mark that the people of Oregon didn't
care cent which side Of the river Mr.
Honaday puts his town on" We
are sorry to have precipitated him into
such raging humor and must confess
that we are to blame for not remem-
bering that the Ore9onian has been in
very imfamatory condition for some
six weeks past.
The expression of our paragraph
was little fgura.ive, not, it is true, in
the same sense that Col. Bakers Ia
comic appeal to one Of the editors Of
the Orcgonian q few years since was,
bat still easily enough understood
These gentlemen seem to have arrived
at that period in the progress of me-
tropolitan journalism when the dis
cussion of public questions is to be
seasoned with personal vltuperation.
Here is q gem that we Gull from that
paper of the 29th inst:
According To the best Of our recollection
the edicnr of the DExncRAT contested for n
seat in the legislature from Benton two
years ago; aud after i.c was voted in by
| his party, he sold out the interests Of bis
county and west side and enrolled himself
among the number of those supposed to be
owned by IInlladay."
| W. I1l.,-n That The nYoon,,;1,, he
longs to the West side of the river
and that for the last six weeks it has
been engaged in showing up the west
side Company in a most unfavorable
light. If what it gives us to uuder.
stand of that Company is true, then
it is not and never was fit, or entitled
to receive the Land Grant, and the
people of Oregon would have been
sold out" by having the grant be-
slowed III that direction. We do moi
know why the members from Bentor
county, or particular one of them
(the entire delegation voted in ont
way), should be lied about by ths
Oregonian for not supporting Com
pany that by its own mouth is con
victed of being swindle upon th'
people of the west side counties. Blu
the hostility of tle Oregonian to tn,
west side Company, is recent and sug
gestive. when we speak of the ives
side Company we do not mean th
west side railroad interests, which or

CoxsIDERABLE OF A CROW.

By some process of figures the
Salesman, last Friday, managed to
elect Kelsay to the Supreme Bench by
majority of 26 votes, or, in its own
words made +" his election sure" The
happy Salesman went off in stream
of ecstatic CALCULATIONS like this:
uurrah for KeIsay!
In the langua e of she Mercury, " this is
important. We have secure.i tie iudicia-
~ in spite of fraud and viIlainy. The
thing was well put up. but in securing n
Democratic Supreme Court il didn't pan
worth a cent. Oregon Democratic in
every Department. M, much; indeed
not any. Iurrah for Kelsay!
That embodiment of metropolitan
gentility, the Oregonian, at once
seemed to discover the partisan import
ance of the Supreme Bench and pro-
ceeded to appropriate that advantage
to its own side OF the house in sepa-
rate paragraphs. 1t said:
This is an important and unexpected re.
suit. 1t makes the Supreme Court Repub-
iean.
The Supreme Court Of Oregon will he
very respectable after ALL There will be
only one bed rock reputation Democrat on
the BeneIi-McArthur Of the Fifth District
The dishonesty that would repadiate the
just obligations Of the country will be kept
out of that important branch of our State
Government.
The above extracts are strictly true
with slight alterations, which are made
necessary because of little miscal
culation on the part of radical search
ers after victory. Kelsay's vote il
Douglas county had been placed q
Bis, whereas it is only 71S, which ha.
the effect to place that gentlema,
some seventy votes behind Judg,
Thayer in the District. We admi
that the election of Kelsay was Gun
expected" but think the Oregoniai
and Statesman give it undue import
ance. 1t did not last long enough TO
that. 1.-The Supreme Court of Ore
gon viii be very respectable after all,
precisely No room to doubt abou
it. 81 1t makes the Supreme Cour
Republican"-by minority of two
with prospect of being increased
one, by the contest between Bonhar
and Boise.
We thank these papers for teachin
us the importance of the Sunrem
Bench. We trust the lesson will ne
be lost upon members of that Bencl
we are certain it will not be lost upo
