FRIDAY.
THE NEW YORK CONVENTION.

At LENGTH we have tidings from the
N1o,v yorl, Convention. The telegraph /
onorators or managers did not see fit to |
Give Us any news, and so the mails have
brought US the first reliable information.
A report was published in the Portland
papers a short time ago that the New
York Convention had nominated Vic
toria Woodruff for President and Fred
erick Douglas for Vice President. Upon
the strength Of this the chivalrous(?)
and courteous(?) members of the mans
rights press of Oregon have been indulg-
ing in the most outrageous misrepresen-
tatiOn and obscene remarks, not only
about the Convention in general, but
also about Oregon's representative there
in particular. Although these ISLANDERS
are all proven to be without the slightest
foundation in truth, we hardly expect,
judging from the past, that they will be
recalled or apologized for.
We have not room this week to give
full particulars of the Convention, but
will in our next issue. Suffice it TO say
that Mrs. Woodruff, the ambitious and
erratic leader of the free lovers and
communists, not being able to use the
Convention to suit her own purposes
withdrew her forces to another hall, and
were by them nominated for the Presi.
deney, with Fred Douglas for Vice
President. The Convention to which
Mrs. Duniway was sent did not nominate
her-in fact virtually repudiated her
Will our Oregon brethren of the pres
make the correction or not?
Mrs. Woodruff has been, i'm conse
quence Of her extreme and erroneoui
views on the marriage and other socia
questions, n source Of weakness to th'
cause. We are glad that she has left u
of her own accord. The New Yorl
Convention, If it did nothing else, ha'
been a great success on account Of thi'
one thing.

MR.. HoLLADAY AND THE PEOPLE.

In another column of this paper will
be found an article in reference to Mr..
Holiday from the pen of one of the
foremost writers and heretofore strong
est Republicans in the State. AS a
terse, incontrovertible statement of the
evils of the One-man power now threat
ening the people of Oregon it deserves
the candid, impartial and honest con-
sideration Of every voter who shall cast
ballot on Monday next. 1t is well
known that money is being freely used
in this county and others to further the
interests of Mr.. Holladay and stifle
Tree expression of the opinion of the
people. BY lavish use of corruption
funds and intimidation the primaries of
the Multnomah Republicans were ear
ried by a horde of irresponsible crea-
lures OF the railroad power, the most of
whom had never voted a Republican
ticket, while honest, sincere members
OF the party, with Republican records
dating back to the days of Fremont and
Dayton, We're denied voice simply be-
cause they refused to bow the knee to
the railroad king. Honest people OF
Multnomah county aud of the State Of
Oregon, do you wish to see this mar
triumph over you in your next Legisla,
!, turc? DO you wish to see him still
further possessed of power, which h,
only uses to benefit himself and over
ride the will of the people? If not
there is only one remedy. That on
remedy is 10 vote for candidates VIII
will not do Mr. Holladay's bidding, an
on whose ears the tinkle Of his none,
will have no alluring sound. Not Onl,
do not vote for men who are opposed t
him now, but who will continue oppose
to him to the end, sPurning all hi
bribes and Drawing all his threats.
, Citizens, look to your interests.

MRS. DUNIWAY's ADDRESS

York city, care Mrs. DIR. Lozier

The COMMON SCHOOL, believe in
colleges and academies and select and
high schools; but / would rather see
all OF them perish than to see the COM
mon school. / would fain have the
common school made so strong and so
good, so large and luminous, so full of
the marrow of good things, that they
who dwell in the neighborhood of it, no
matter how rich they may be, cannot
afford to send their children anywhere
else. Make that which you do for COM
mon people better than that which can
be done 10y select classes in the cOmmu-
nifty for themselves. They are are do
ing this in Massachusetts, and especi-
ally in Boston. Make such provision
for the education Of the commOnest peO-
pie that the richest uncommon people
will come suppliantly and ask for their
children the privilege of participating
in the advantages of the common school
And keep it common. Bring everybody
to il, and let them learn each others
brotherhood. And thus society, begin

school, will form sympathetic asSOcla-

selves afterward, and which VIII no

the National Convention. But We have
vet other work to do. Before starting
for the West, and after holding a series
of meetings in New York, Brooklyn
and Boston-of all of which you shall
be duly apprised-I shall go to the Phil
adelphia and Baltimore Conventions in
company with many other leaders in
the movement, and it is possible that
we shall yet get the first principles of
the Declaration of Independence in
some platform Of some organized party.
If not, now that Woodruff and her in
fatuated followers have sloughed and
run Off from the legitimate work OF
Woman Suffrage and National Reform,
we shall have opportunity to work, un-
trammeled by the extreme views OF
avowed free loveists and the ignorant
marauds of rabid Internationals.

OUR POLITICS.

The Lafayette Courier says we are
Opposed to the Democracy" The
writer intends TO convey the idea, we
suppose, that we favor the Republican
party. For about the thousandth time
we assure him and everybody else that
we are perfectly independent in politics.
We are just as much Democrat as Re
publican, and rice rerSd, for we do not
and will not belong to either organiza-
tion.

THE ALABAMA TREATY.

The Washington Administration, not
withstanding the bold front it first pre-
sented in regard to the Alabama Claims,
appears to be backing down. The claim
for indirect damages is to be indirectly
withdrawn by a supplementary treaty.
This is a decidedly humiliating piece of
business, to say the least of it. The
roar of the British Lion has scared the
American Eagle-degenerate bird!-for

PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECTS.

The Presidential campaign seems rap
idly narrowing down to a contest be-
tween Greeley and Grant. OF course
such result depends entirely upon the
course of the Democracy. Should Gree
ley be the only candidate against Grant,
a Republican victory will be by no
means certain.

GIVE us A CHANGE.

Friend Upton, ofthe Lafayette Courier,
has Investigating Report" on the brain.
Every number of his paper comes to us
nearly filed up with it. But then we
suppose he is short of "copy," and must
have something to print. We will send
him "Pub. Doc" if he desires it, so
that he can give his readers a change
once i'm a while.

There are two words in the English
language which are the cause of more
annoyance to newspaper writers than
all other words combined. These words
are strategic" and ''impOstOr." The
ablest of compositOrs and proof readers
have struggled with them in vain.
Strategic is sure to come out in print
"stragetic," and 'impostOr' almost in
variably confrOnts the reader in this
shape, 'fmposter." There are several
other words, such as close" "bouquet'i
and "biscuit,n which get into print in
fantastic shapes, but their transforms
tiOns are not to be compared with the
ravages committed on strategic" and
''impOstOr." If every typo in the
country would raise money enough to
procure copy of these words in cor
rect form, and then paste them in his
hat, he would be doing himself and his
country a service.-Erchdnge.

THE LOCKS.

The voters Of Oregon should see to it
next Monday that Legislators are elected
who will show no favors to the present
canal and locks ring, but require them
to fulfill their contract in good faith.
The contest is between the Grover and
Holladay rings, and both should be
checkmated.

THE TONE OF THE PRESS.

How mild the partisan press of the
State is just now in its tone! Such en-
dearing epithets as 'liar," "scoundrel,' y
"perjurer," "villain," "thief," etc., are
about the most gentlest words known.

COMPLIMENTARY.

a Republican paper up the valley says
that Mr.. O'Meara's knocledge of the
tricks Of the Democracy i'm the past ena-
bles him to expose them, etc. Rather a
questionable compliment that, consider
ing that Mr.. O'Meara's politics up to 4
late date were Democratic. But what if
the Democracy were to expose Mr..
O'Meara's tricks in the past, to say
nothing Of the present?

MEANS WHAT HE SAYS.

Though ''confrmatiohs strong as proofs OF
Holy Writ" and as numerous as the sands
on the sea shore. were produ ed to prove
that nr Pierce, the proprietor Of D.. Stge's
Catarrh Remedy. is in earnest and means
what be LAYS when he cfers $500 reward
for any case OF Catarri (which he cannot cure,
yet there would be some skeptics and fo
eies who would continue to shout Hum
bug!" "Hambug ~ 1T cannot be. be-
cause DR.. Hamespun saws Catarrh cannot be
cured" Now. this DR.. uomespun is the
identical, good natured old fellow who hon
estly believes and persists in declaring that
this earth is not round or spherical, bu fiat
as slap jack" and does not turn over,
otherwise the water would all be spilled out
of Deacon Bascom's mill pond. But astr"-
numical science has positively demonstrated
and proven that DR.. Homspun is wrong in
surprising this earth to lie fat and stationary,
and medical science is daily proving: the fact
that he is no less mistaken and behind the
times in regard to the durability of Catarrh.
In short it has been positively proven that
this world moves. and that medical science
is progre-sive-the opinion of Dr. HomPspun
to the contrary notwithstanding. That DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy will cure Catarrh,
thousands who have used it attest.
Then buv it. and use it, in doubt do not stand,
You will find it in drug stores all over the land.

The weight was disputed, some parties as

The Lancaster county steer, fed by John
Sener, and admitted by all to have been
fairly dressed, weighed alive 1850 pounds;

There was steer brought from Ohio
and killed in Philadelphia, that weighed
dressed, 2,458 pounds, but butchers said
it was not fairly dressed, as the heart fat
and part of the gut fat was left in. 1t Is
believed that the Stultzfus steer brought to
Lancaster to day, will far outweigh all the
