State Democratic Record
How Do You Like 1t!

It has been guilty of favoritism in
giving $500, ,0OO'to fayorite company
for building the canal and locks at
Oregon City, when another company
offered to do it for sI25,009.
1t has favored monopolies in passing
Swamp Land Law in such manner
ms to give a few land grabbers an op>
portunity to gobble mp the entire tract.
It has passed Litigant Law which
supports Democratic newspapers in af-
Ruenee, at the expense of persons who
are least able to stand it, by allowing
such papers to charge more than double
the usual rates for such advertising.
Il has spent thousands OF dollars of
the peoples money for an investigating
Commission, to examine the records of
the Republican party of the State, in
order to prove the Republican party
guilty Of swindling the people, and upon
imaginary charges had Sam May ar
rested and brought from Salt Lake un-
der indictments for larceny amounting
in all to over $4,000. These indict-
ments we're all quashed by the Courts,
and, instead of letting May return to
his business, it put the people to still
further expense BY swearing out other
indictments to the insignificant amount
of $3.50. Thus showing that they
were determined to vent their spite let
the consequence be what it would.
It has created new offices of State, at
good salaries, simply to fill the pockets
of party favorites.
1t has pardoned convicts from the
Penitentiary, aud turned them loose
among the good people of our State
only because they were party pets.
1t has availed itself of every oppor.
tunity to evince its utter adherence of
justice where Republican was pitted
against Democrat, as was evidenced
in the case of Clarke u.s. Watkinds.
And now it is trying to blind the
eyes Of the people to the enormity of
its crimes, by sending its emissarics
over the State to smooth over its record,
to induce the honest voters of this State
TO perpetuate this party in power, and
send Grover to the United States SEN
ate.

FIt is unfortunately true that since
Grant has been President, this Gov
ernnent has become the laughing stock
of civilized men. ."-Meycury.
II this be true, why is it that Eng
land is SO seriously canvassing the
propriety of paying the consequential
damages presented by the American
Commissioners If our Govern mcnt
is such laughing stock, why does not
Great Britain refuse to pay these dam~
ages, and laugh at ths United States
for presenting them?
If this be true, why is it that the
most Influential powers of the world,
powers that have always treated the
United States with Indifference, are
now willing and anxious to form treaties
comforting upon each nation the bene-
fits of commercial intercourse
Why was it that France Withdrew her
forces from Mexico at the slightest
hint that our Government would not
permit Mexico TO be overrun, and Max
imillian established upon thr one on
North American soil
Why was it that the Spanish author
tiles in Cuba faltered in their course,
when defied by the American Consul
to shoot through the American flag AT
persons already arraigned for ex xeeution?
Why is it that thousands of foreign.
ers are flocking to our shores monthly,
to avail themselves of the advantages
offered by our form of Government, as
well as our soil and climate?
Why is it that Canada is 50 anxious
to unite her destiny with that of the

Why all these favorable signs, and

Mr. Helm stated in his speech here,
that the p T. Company included the

works to be built at Oregon City. The

a heavy slide, we should say.

: Who'll GER THE LoAvEs A

. Who'll Ger THE LoAvEs AND
FISHES ?-Horace Greeley is now be-
fore the country as nominee for the
Presidency. That he cannot be
elected without the combined efforts of
both Democrats and so-callod Liberal
Republicans is evident. That the lead
ers of the Democracy will not support
him without guarantee that they get
q good share of the appointments, is
we'll understood. That the liberal Re-
publicans will not rally to his standard
without some such guarantee is equally
evident, What is Greeley is do; prom
ise both I This may do if he can act his
part we'll enough before the election, to
make each party believe that he is going

to act this role successfully his hopes

position, suppose he elected, who'll get

DEFEAT rs INEVITABLE.

The defeat of the Liberal Democratic
abortion is becoming more apparent eV
cry day. We find many of its first
friends, and, indeed, some Of the origi-
majors of the movement, creeping away
from a position which they see will not
bring them the distinction and power
they had anticipated. In identifying
themselves with what seemed a brilliant
step in the realm of politics, they were
looking forward, not to the common and
immediate necessities of the country, but
totheir own personal ggrandizement, as
result of their elevation to place. For
getting, it would seem, the people, who
would repel their advances, they now
have the modification of knowing that to
impose upon their constituents is to bring
upon themselves a just, emphatic and
blighting anathema. And what is this
rumpus but an insult to the American
people? Born II school of culpable I'M
easiness; clothed in a mantle of misrep-
resentation carried upon the bosom of
the pestiferous winds of dishonor; and
finally developing into this man, Greeley,
who is now offered to the people Of this
country as the embodiment of manhood,
honesty and wisdom as the man preem-
inently lifted to manipulate the affairs of
the leading nation of the world
If there was anything like harmony
among these disconnected reformers,
some degree of confidence might be re-
posed in them. Unity Of action might be-
get faith in their ability to successfully
guide the ship Of state through the illim-
liable confederation Of financial, CONNER
cial, domestic, and foreign interests.
But, in the first place, every name they
can take upon themselves would be
misnomer and then, they are not an or.
ganized body they go in squads; they
can only give smattering Of what they
propose to do, for the very reason that
they are not posted in that particular.
They stand before the people to day,
the completest political rupture in the an.
mails of the country. In all their conYen-
tions they fail in harmonizing upon any
question, excepting perhaps that one of
"Anything to beat Grant," and on this
they have become SO desperate, as to for
get the nation, in fighting the man. On
the whole, it would not be surprise if
they were beaten, literally driven from
the field, before the ides of November.
