NEW YoRK, March z8.-The Trib-

cided to drop the San Domingo business
for the sake Of harmonizing the party.
The inference is drawn from the re-
mark Of Morton in the Senate yesterday
that if the Commissioners report unfavor-
able to annexation, he should favor the
abandonment Of the project. The dccla-
ration is thought to be significant, in
view Of tho fact that correspondents with

HERE WE AREl


a few months ago we informed our
readers that if we received sufficient
encouragement to justify the increased
expenditure which such an enterprise
would occasion. we would enlarge the
the DEMocRAT, SO as to be able to give
more reading matter and thus render
the paper more attraotiysand interest
ing than hitherto-although it has for
years been the largest Oregon paper,
save one, outside of Portland. Well.
We have received that encouragement,
and here. we are. as large as life and
as full of reading matter asa cocoanut
is of meat. In our old dimensions we
gave fourteen columns Of, reading mat
ter, whale in this will be found nine
teen, and If we take into consideration
the fact that our present columns are
two inches longer than the former, we
count nearly seven columns more than
In the former size. =
This enlargement has cost no incon-
siderable sum in its inauguration, and
It viii cost aliyely advance on our for
mer expenses to keep it up; but We
expect to do it, BY the continued pat
ronage of those who have in years past
stood by us. and with the additional
help of those who are almost daily en-
rolling their names upon our books.
All We ask is legitimate patronage
eAad prompt pay, and We viii furnish a
paper with which the Democracy of
the Banner County" may feel highly
grati6ed, or at least for which they
will have no cause to blush.
In few months another State cam
paign viii be upon us, and the enc
r1nies of Democracy will exert every
energy to secure those places in Ore
gon which they have but so recently
lost; consequently it is to the interest
of the Democratic party to build mp,
foster and encourage its partizan news
papers and render them as interesting
and valuable to the public as possible,
50 that when the time may come they
may be potent power in the contest.
To this end we ask the support of the
members of the Democratic party, and
shall use every available means to rem
der them q.aid pro quo for all the aid
which they may extend tous. Wewill
maintain the dignity of the paper. the
prestige Of Linn county and the honor
of the Democratic party of our section
so far as our ability Will permit; and
all we ask in return is liberal, hearty
and paying support.

THE fAY-RALLs AFFAIR.

Under this caption the Herald Of
last Sunday contains letter from
Valentine S. Rails, father Of Miss
Hannah Ralls--the ruined girl--from
which we make the following extract:
II seems tba. Fay and lis lackeys areifot
satisfied with what ruin they have brought
upon me, but they nre now circulating nll
kinds Of disgraccful reports about ntber

and 10 what desperation he is driven for n
defense. IIe would have tho people be.

would not be no eager had ! not assured
him, in the presence Of others, that / would
never prosecute him for soducipg my daugh.

that, by MD Of his lackoys, he could secure
jury whose elastic couscienccs would easily
raise doubt, and an acquittal would follow.
Besides, he has all tho lawyers in the coun.
ty employed, save one. There are two par.
tics who can tell the truth in regard ~ thin
sorrowful affair. Ono Of them is my daugh

The 0regonian says that the Bayonet
Election Law recently passed by Con-
gress was enacted for the parpose Of
protecting the lawful voters Of the
country so that they may not be over
borne by crowds of organized repeat

had been In force at our last State
election it would have shut out Ben.

the Radical selectmen have, without
authority of law. attempted to require
naturalized citizens to produce their
papers as they claim for the purpose
of examination and record, but really
because they know in the majority Of
instances it is impossible. Almost ell
election laws have provided that the
oath Of foreign born citizen that he
