HE IsiHARDLY A DEMOCRAT.

The Oregoniaa publishes long
letter abusive of Hon. Jas. H. Slater,
purporting to come from Eastern Or
egon, and says it was written by a
Democrat. The writer of the letter,
after heaping much doggerel abuse
upon Mr.. Slater, says:
"But, then, it is no quarrel of ours,
only so far as the natural pride of cit
liens is concerned. In this regard.
however, Republicans as well as Dem
ocrats have an interest at stake"
Now isn't the above rather singu-
lar language for Democrat to use
But for what the Oregousiaa, asserts
one would naturally suppose that its
correspondent was Black Republi-
can, who had no interest in the Dem
ocratic fight in Eastern Oregon, "only
SO far as the natural pride of citi-
zen is concerned" We opine the
Orego'siara has got its correspondents
politics rather mixed. Such Demo
cratic" letters as that won't wash up
this way.

that Miss Hannah Rails, upon the
trial OF her father for assaulting J. d.
Fay with dangerous weapon, gave a
full statement, under oath, Of her Sc

and her extreme suffering in the cold
from early in the morning until found
late in the afternoon. She gave her
evidence slowly and calmly, without
showing the least yindictiyeness or
anger. Reinstatement brought moist

stated. to every unprejudiced mind
This evidence was admitted for the

under, upon hearing of the ruin of his
family by the prosecuting witness.

OUR CITY ELECTION :!
DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHANT!
REDEEMED!
A Democratic Mayor-Dcmoeratie Re-
corder-Democratie Trcasurcr-Dem-
ecratic Majority in the Council.

The election last Monday was hotly
contested and closely fought to the
very end, but the Democratic hosts
were too many for the enemy, and
when the polls were closed Radical
ism had received shock which sent
it reeling and despairing from the
arena. with hardly enough of its num-
Der left unharmed to bury the dead
and bear the wounded from the field.
1t is true that we did not escape
unscathed, for small squadron who
contested the battle we'll and nobly,
went down with the great body of the
enemy; but theirs is a glorious de.
feat, because their very intrepidity
and daring saved the day for Democ-
racy and left our colors floating over
the ensanguined field.
Last year the Republicans carried
the city on their general ticket by an
average of 20 majority, although a
Democratic Mayor and one Council
man were elected, by Republican
votes. Having been so successful at
that time, they were fully confident of
winning an easy victory this year, and
consequently went to the polls with a
confident and buoyant air, as though
there was no such thing as Demo
cratic party in existence. Imagine
their astonishment, then, at finding
themselves almost completely annihi-
lated when the polls closed after the
days struggle was over.
Following is an abstract of the vote
-Democrats in Italics, Republicans
in Roman:
For MAYOR. w. S,ceeney, 134;
J. F. Backensto, lis. Sweeney's ma
jority, 16.
For REcoRDER-Jas. r. Herren,
139; E. B. Purdom, 124. Herren's
majority, Is.
For MARsHAL@ ID. Nay, 103;
VIM. Riley, 147. Riley's majority,
A.
For TREAsURER-C C. Kuhn,
134; VIM. Colwell, 131. Kuhn's
majority, 8.
For CoUNCILMEN-A. Hacklema,,
145, a. Parker III, G. A. Hill I49,
J D. Grouse 124, Leo For 11S, c. III
Cart,oright 40, John Conner 80,
John Briggs 12S, S. E. Young 1873,
W. 81. Kuhn 136, C. u. Cartwright
136, N. II. Harvey 133.
Messrs. Hackleman, Parker and
Hill are the Councilmen elected on
the Democratic ticket, and Messrs.
Young and Kuhn are the victorious
Councilmen on the Republican ticket;
and then Charley Cartwright was a
candidate on both tickets and of
course was elected by an overwhelm-
ing majority.

TAMMANY IN MULTNoMAH.-Mrs.
Duniway. in the Ne,c North,ccst, thus
prods up the Radical officials of Multi
nomah county, who have been imitat-
ing the theivery of Tammany for the
past year:
The Grand Jury Report shows that
the expenditures of Multnomah coun-
ty for the fiscal year are near $1,000
in excess of those for 1870; or, to be
exact, the sum of 1852 81 sufficed
for 1870, against s54, ,475 324 for 1871
AN increase of s8,S83 OIL. 1t can
not reasonably be claimed that the in
hux of population or growth of crime
accounts for this greatly increased ex-
pense. Indeed, it can be very readily
accounted for otherwise. The Re
port before referred to shows that
81, 100 have been allowed the County
Clerk and Sheriff-S60O to the former
officer and 81, 800 to the latter-in a
manner not contemplated by law
So here is s2,1O0 of the peoples mon
ey surreptitiously appropriated by
by our lucre-loving public servants
accounted for at single dash of the
pen. Were the salaries of Clerk and
Sheriff of Multnnomah meager there
might be a shadow of excuse for such
questionable transactions; but on the
contrary it is notorious that both
these offices have almost princely in
comes. Partisan malice could have
had nothing to do with the Report,
as a majority of the members of the
Grand Jury were Republicans.

AT the recent election for member

At the recent election for members
of the Legislature in Mississippi the
Democrats carried twentythree coun-
ties, which in either 1869 or 1870
gave Radical majorities. In one
county-Adams-w which is hopelessly
black, the Democrats generally alb
stained from voting, as their exercise
of that franchise would have availed
their candidates for the Legislature
nothing. Next year, at the sPresi-

who can get to the polls will vote,
and the Democratic Presidential
nominee will pet the electoral vote of
the redeemed State.
