AT SALEM.-We learn from the
Mercury that the Democratic rally at
Salem, last Saturday evening, was a
grand affair, the house being crowded
until there was scarce standing room.
Many ladies graced the occasion with
their presence. The meeting was adj
dressed by Gov. L. Z. Grover, Hon.
Ben. Hayden and Hon. John Burnett.
If the interest thussawakened be kept
up until the election we may expect
a report from "Fair Marion" which
will cause the rotten Radicalism OF
that county to hang its putrid head
in despair and make the long DIES.
pendent but ever gallant Democracy
OF that section rejoice with exceeding
great joy. Roll on the chariot wheels
OF Democratic salvation, and let Rad.
icals stand from under!

A PARTY BY THE NAME OF H0LLA.
DAY,

This is the name OF the Radical party
in Oregon to-day. They have been
"bottled up" body and breaches, by
this ~autocrat, and their identity is
wholly obscured by the greater inn
portance of their present owner. 1t
is known beyond a doubt that Holla-
day dictated their platform and
named their candidates and that he
expects to reap a personal benefit
from their success if the people can be
hoodwinked into electing them
knowing that they We're powerless
in themselves to win n victory, and
believing hat Holladay's money
could be used as a lever to bring
about that which they felt themselves
utterly unable to accomplish, in a fit
of desperation, and as a last resort,
they have entered into a conspiracy
whereby they are to give the people
of Oregon over into the hands of a
grasping railroad monopoly and re-
ceive in return the offices and what
ever pelf they may be able to secure
by such treachery.
Will the people of Oregon submit
to this? viii they permit their
rights, their liberties, their interests,
their lands, their moneys to be placed
at the mercy of a railroad king?-
Will they permit this powerful trans
portation monopolist, who is already
grinding the very life and soul out of
the shipping business of Oregon, to
secure a yet stronger hold upon their
interests and dive yet deeper into
their pockets? We know that thou
sands of Republicans throughout the
State have already felt the pressure
OF this transportation monopoly and
have experienced a bitter sense of
their helpessness when placed in
such hands, and we believe that they
viii utterly repudiate this foul at
tempto Of a horde of mercenary traitors
to give them over irrerocably into his
clutches.
Oregon is a young State, struggling
with all the power of her vigorous
youth to attain that exalted position
in the sisterhood of States to which
her distinctive and natural
advantages entitle her; and her peo-
pie cannot afford to have all of her
energies crippled and her stature
dwarfed by the iron heel of a selfish
monopolist, who cares nothing for the
character, reputation or standing of a
country only SO far as its people may
contribute to his Golfers and bow sub
missively to his royal behests. We
believe that the people of Oregon are
made of sterner stuff than to be made
the plant tools of few treacherous
politicians and a sordid autocrat..

DIssATIsFIED.-The Register Of last
week assefss that there IL great dissat-
isfaction expressed at the nominations
made by our late County Convention.
OF course that paper lea TO state
that there Is 'great dissatisfaction"
among the Republicans, as there Is
nothing but the best of feeling among
Democrats. We knew that the ticket
was n 'saiter' on our Republican
friends, but We were not prepared to
hear their county organ so frankly nc

THE pUBIIoDEBr HUMBUG.

THE PUBhI0' DEBT HUMBUG.
The Radical platform, in making a
great flourish of tfumpets over Grants
administration, speaks of its success
in reducing the public debt as being
one of its chiefest claims to public
favor and support. Now there never
was a subject upon which more bun,
combe was displayed or more misrep-
reservations Illuminated than is made
by the Radicals upon this matter OF
national indebtedness. The Salem
Statesmen of last Saturday positively
asserts that during the past three years
of Grants administration the debt has
been reduced 5000, $40, 762. Now, We
believe that the Statesman editor has
been imposed upon in this matter, for
it is a well known fact that the Ad-
mi~nistration descends to the lowest
depth of dishonesty and chicanery to
impose upon the people and make
capital for their campaign for a longer
lease Of power. It can be shown by
transcripts and comparisons of official
reports of the Treasury Department,
that while Secretary Boutwell, has
been Boosting of reducing the debt
nearly ss00,0OO,0 600 since General
Grants Inauguration, his own figures
prove beyond controversy that, on the
first day of July last, it was only $780,
661,225 less than on July /. 1868
reduction of but 13,220,41S.33 Is
per annuml We would suppose that
a gentleman of the Statesman editors
reputation for fairness would hesitate
before attempting to mislead his read.
ers with these juggling monthly state,
ments which the Treasury Depart
ment cooks up and scatters broadcast
over the land for the purpose of de.
ceiving the two careless and credulous
voters?
After all it is not very astonishing
that the people have been hoodwinked
into the belief that these assertions OF
the astonishing reductions of the pub
lie debt are genuine. The fact of the
enormous and ~burdensome taxes lev
led upon the country has no doubt
aided to deceive the public into the
belief that they were fast Kidding
themselves of the debt. To what
other purpose could the money be
le~gitimately put? They knew it was
collected, at the heavy cost of the
prostration OF some of our leading
industries and the vexation and an
noyance of the business of the coun-
try. The glaring instances of rascal
ity, the already exposed frauds and
embellishments of those who have had
the handling of these funds, account
for many millions in the aggregate !;
and the people are now waking up to
the knowledge of the fact that instead
of the honest and economical admin
istration of which they have been told,
they have been pluudered to supply
tho ipSafiabla mau Of a honda of hun-
CRY office-holders. to whom the history
of nations furnishes no parallel. The
brazen impudence of the party that
lays claim to frugality and integrity
under such circumstances is equalled
only by its shameless squandering OF
the public property, its reckless ex.
travagance, and its official robberles,

THE Enterprise of last week has
the following:
The Radicals put n plank in their
platform favor:ng Government aid for
the construction n of wagon road from
Portland to the Dalles. The Democ-
racy will not only favor granting Gov
ernmcnt aid, but the proceeds of the
swamp lands which the Radicals are
trying to give to corporations; and
further, ask Congress to make add
tional appropriation for locks mt Cas-
cades aud Cello. This is what the

attempt TO catch votes is too thin en-
tirely.

An Item for BOYS.

1t is not necessary that a boy who
learns trade should follow it all his
life. Gov. Palmer, of Illinois, was q
country blacksmith once, and began his
political career in Macoupin county. A
circuit judge in the central part of Illi-
nois was once tailor. Thomas Hoyne
rich and eminent lawyer of Illinois,
was once book-binder. Erastus Corn
ing, of New York, too lame to do hard
labor, commenced as shop-boy in Al
bany. When he applied for employ
ment first, he was asked: "Why, my
little boy, what can you do?" ''Can do
what am bid," was the answer, which
secured him place. Senator Wilson,
of Massachusetts,, was a shoemaker.
Thurlow Weed canal-boat driver. Ex-
Governor Stane, of Iowa, was cabin
etmaker, which trade the late Hon.
Stephen A. Douglas also worked at in
his youth. Large numbers of men OF
prominence now living have risen from
humble life, by dint of industry, with
out which talent is as gold coin on a
barren island. Work alone makes men
bright, and it does not alone depend on
the kind of work you have to do wheth-
er you rise or not; it depends on how
you do it.

Startling Discovery.

During the sitting of court in Con-
necticut, not long ago, on very cold
evening, crowd of lawyers had col
lected around the fire that blazed cheer
fully ON the hearth in the bar-room
when q traveller entered, benumbed
with cold, but no one moved to give
him room to warm his shins,so he lean
ed back against the wall IN the back part
of the room.
Presently sharp young limb of the
law addressed him, when the following
dialogue took place:
"You look like traveler!'
"Wall, suppose l am; came all
the way from Wisconsin n foot at any
rate"
"From Wisconsin. What distance
to come ON one pair of legs"
"wall, done it anyhow"
"Did you ever pass through hell in
any of your travels"
Eyes, sir; I've passed through the
outskirts"
81 thought likely. Well, what ART
the manners and customs there? Some
of us would like to know"
"Oh, you'll find them much the sam.
as In this place-the ld,cysrs sit asares
the .fre."

A Good Story.

We do not know whether it was this
Mr.. Pinkerton, or not, OF whom it is
told that recently, having occasion to
make short journey by rail, he start
ed without any money, trusting In the
Lord to bring him safely on his way.
After passing the first station, the con-
ductor came through the car, and the
following conversational substance, EN-
seued:
''Ticketr'
81 have no ticket"
"Where are you going"
"TO-."
"Well, I'll take your fare, the H."
. 81 have no money"
"How do you expect to get To-,
without ticket and without any mon-
ey?"
"Well, am going on the Lords bus
iness, and 1 expect the Lord to take me
there"
The conductor paused, and replied,
"It is my opinion that the Lord will
not take you any further than the next
station"
Accordingly at the next station the
reverend gentleman was put off the
train.
Singing hymn upon the platform, in
loud voice, he started across the coun-
try on fOot.-Interior.

THE NEW CHURCH. ORGAN.


THEY'VE got bran new organ, Sue,
For ali their fuss and search;
They've done just Is they said they'd do,
And fetched it into church.
They're bound the sritser shall be seen,
They've hoisted theirn machine,
In everybody's sight,
They've got choirister and choir,
Ag'in my voice and vote;
For it never was MY desire,
To praise the Lord by note!
I've been a sister good an true,
For i've an thirty year;
Pve done what seemed my part to do,
An prayed my duty clear;
Eve sung the hymns both slow and quick.
Just as the preacher read,
And twice, when Deacon Tubbs was sick,
Itook the fork an led!
An now, their bold new tangled ways,
Is comm all about;
And 4, right in my latter days,
Am fairly crowded out.
To-day, the preacher, good old dear,
With tears all in his eyes,
Read,-'-I can read my title clear,
To mansions In the skies."-
L al,ays liked that blessed hymn
spose al'ays will
1t somehow gratihes ny whim,
In good old Ortonvilie;
But when that choir got up to sing,
Icouldn't catch word;
They sung the most dog -gondest thing
4 body ever heard! I-is
some WORLDLY chaps was standin, near,
An when Isee them grin,
bid farewell to every fear,
And boldly waded in.
Thought I'd chase their tune along,
An tried with all my might;
But though my voice Is good an strong,
couldn't steer them right,
When they was high. then was low,
AM also contra'wise;
And too fast, or they too slow,
To mansions in thei skies"
An after every. verse, You know
They play a little tune;
didn't understand, an SO
started in too soon.
pitched it pr'tty midlin' high,
And fetched u lusty tone.
But oh! alas, 1 found that
Was singin' there alone!
They laughed a little am told;
But had done my best;
And not u wave of trouble rolled
Across my peaceful breast.
And sister Brown-I could but look
She sits right front of me;
She never has no singin' book.
An never went to be;
But then she al'ays tried to do
The best she could she said;
She understood the time, right through.
An KEEP it with her head;
But when she tried this mornin', oh.
1t kept her head q bobbin' SO,
1t cen almost cameof!
An Deacon Tubbs-he all broke down,
As one might well suppose,
He took one look at sister Brown,
And meekly scratched his nose
He looked his hymn book through and through,
And laid it on the seat,
And then a pensive sigh he drew,
And looked completely beat.
An when they took another bout
He didn't even rise;
But drew his red bandanner out,
An'wiped his weeping eyes.
[ We been sister good an true,
For five and thirty yeai;
I've done what seemed my part to do.
AM prayed my duty clear;
But death will stop my voice know,
For he is ON my track;
And some day to church will CO.
And never more come hack,
And when the folks gets up to sing
Whene'er that time shall be
do not want no PATENT thing
A squealin' over me.

|" Boys will be Boys, and all
Boys are Sassy"

Young ladies will hereafter run their
brothers out when gentlemen call; 1
am certain that wish somebody would

hills, wales, and cataracts-

boy spoke up and said:
"Why, sisters got whole trunkful

made of hoss hair"
This revelation struck terror into me
and bushes into the fair cheeks of my
companion. 1t began to be very appsr-
ent to me that must be very guarded
in what said, lest the boy might slip
his remarks ipto uncalled for places; III
fact, turned my conversation on him,
and told him he ought to go with me
and see what nice chickens 1 had in the
country. Unluckily mentioned yoke
of calves which my brother owned.
The word calves ruined all. The little
one looked up and said:

but she don't wear them except when
she goes up town windy days"

wretch"

lap and kiss him like you did Bill Sim
