tons, and we therefore collate a few
extracts from each of them relating to
this subject.
The Jacksonville Times concludes
its editorial upon the situation as toll
lows: "our duty, as free citizens, is
to unite in q mass and rise and over
throw the tyrant who is fast bringing
our country to a state of anarchy and
ruin. This can only be done by sup
porting the Baltimore nominee; and
when Grant shall be hurled from pow
er, the United States can once more
breathe Free" 1t will cheerfully sup
port Greeley and Brown.
The Roseburg Piaindealer runs up
the names of Greeley and Brown, and.
in commenting upon their nomination.
saws: "Since the assembled repre-
~sentatives of the party, among whom
were nearly all of our ablest states
men, have in accordance with the
time-honored usages and with a unan--
unity with out a parallel, designated
them as the standard bearers of the
Democratic party, we are compelled
to recognize their authority as fnal.n
The Eugene City Guard hangs back
in the races and kicks nearly over
the dashboard about the nominations.
It refuses to hoist the ticket to its
masthead at present, but proposes to
be guided by circumstances in its flu
ture course. We trust that circum-
stances may guide the Guard in the
right direction and lead it to strike
hands with the remainder of the Dem
ocratic press throughout Oregon, in
support of the ticket put forward by
our party in National Convention as
sembied.
The Corvallis Democrat promptly
raises the Greeley and Brown ebe-
neezer and publishes a leader of warm
endorsement. 1t promises to make a
vigorous fight for the honest farmer
of Chappaqua-
For some unaccountable reason the
Salem Mercury of last week failed to
put in an appearance at our sanctnm,
but we learn from our other exchanges
that it runs up the ticket and heartily
endorses the action of the Conven-
tion.
The Oregon City Enterprise hoists
the ticket and promises a free and full
support and advocacy of the good
cause.
We announced last week that the
Portland Herald had run up to its
masthead the Greeley and Brown
standard That very excellent and
able champion of progress and reform
is already striking telling and vigor-
Gus blows in behalf of the ticket, and
predicts its triumphant election by a
prodigious majority. 1t says that the
question will soon be, not what States
Greeley wiU carry, but rather what he
aoont carry, as the revolution which is
setting in will gather in volume until
IN November it will sweep the almost
every State in the Union.
We havn't received the LAFAYETTE
Courier for several weeks. but from
the Herald We learn that it advocates
the Greeley and Brown ticket and ad-
vocates its election in earnest and
glowing language.
The Baker City Democrat comes
out in favor of Greeley and Brown,
as also does The La Grande Sentinel.
From these papers we learn that the
sterling Democracy of Eastern Ore
gon will warmly sustain the action of
the National Convention and give the !
ticket a hearty support. That conn
try is settled mainly by Southern peo-
pie, yet fresh from the scenes of per-
secution, oppression and bayonet rule,
and they are willing to unite with all
honest and humane people to over
throw the power which caused their
sufferIngs and made them exiles from
their own sunny land.
In view of the fact that the Demo-
cratic papers of the State, with one
exception, are warmly supporting the
that the Democracy are known
TO be almost a unit for it, and that
many honest Republicans are daily
pronouneing for its support, is it un-
reasonable TO assert that Oregon will
in November cast her electoral vote
for the nominees of the National
Convention? We hon.
think that we have at least an
chance with the GRANTEES of car
r-ying the State, and our prospects
wl surely brighten as the contest
aears its elimination.
