LETTER FROM OLYMPIA.
O1YMp1A. Nv. 7. June ?, 4S73.

OLYMPIA, w. 7. June 2, 1878.
Dear Mrs. D1miDdy:-The few num-
bers of the New NORTHWEST that have
fallen in my way, and hearing your lee
lures. affirming and maintaining the
broad first principles of universal JUS
tiee with singular zeal and ability sug-
gests the possibility of effecting the
emancipation of labor from its oppres-
siye subjection to the capital that
has bought up our government officials
like "sheep on the stocks" ar'th sh0'res ~
the subsidies and their infamous Credn
Mo6ilier. Those gigantic land, rail-
road, financial and commercial mo-
nopolies that have undermined Ameri-
can liberty must be overthrown.
Having struggled long and earnestly
for the grand principles Of the Labor
Reform Party 1 felt deeply mortified
and humiliated when | saw their con-
vention not only ignore the just claims
of women to political equality Whose
platform is almost the same) but stuiti-
flying themselves by rejecting their best
friends and in nominating millionaire
who has no interest in, nor sympathy
for their cause, and political hack" fol
his supposed availability, by which
their discontinue was not only ineyita-
BILE, but we'll merited.
The only bond of political fellowship
that can stand the test of adversely Is IN
a united interest, similar political dis
ability and common object to attain,
which conditions exactly obtain be-
tween the workingmen and the women
Of the United States. Workingmen,
though nomilally exercising the fran
chiSe, are practically enslaUed to capital
by the shameless ''class legislation"
which created the "sOulless incorpOra-
tions that trample upon the poor, and
from which we can only regain our lib
critics by enfranchising women whose
sphere of subjection' enables her to see
it, and gives her a common interest in
and earnest desire to struggle against
the threatened Acknowledgement Of her
brother man."
Success in this is only possible by
uniting the scattered remains of the La
Dor Reform Party, the Friends of Hus-
bandry now organizingl with the
Woman Suffragists and the good, true,
patriotic men of all parties, who, being
scandalized by the base cOrruptiOns in
our Government, will unite upon COM
mon platform at the sacrifice of personal
interests and minor issues to ''scourge
thieves and money changers from the
Temple of Liberty and make perjured
villains feel the whitening scorn OF al
outraged and indignant people"
To the calculation Of these momentOu:
subjects, will mainly address mysel
in future communications to the New
NORTHWEST for the restoration of ou
liberties by arousing sluggards to lively
sense of the danger; and while sOlici
assistance from all sources, 1 ask tn,
clemency and indulgence of your read
ers for imperfections of style and inele
gance of diction. hope candid worl'
will require facts from the opposition
rather than the authority Of great name
to refute any position shall take i
my feeble efforts to further the end
of JUSTICE.

NOTABLE DEATH.

Hon. J. G. Wilson, member Of Con-
gress from Oregon, died at the home of
his mother in Marietta on the ID inst.
In his death the people of Oregon have
sustained a loss which the whole State
will deeply feel. a new election, for the
purpose of filling the vacancy thus Gre
ated, will doubtless be called for by the
Governor at no distant day. We heart
ily sympathize with the bereaved fam
lily OF the deceased, to whom the people
Of Oregon certainly owe something more
substantial than mere coincidence in
their sad bereavement. When General
Candy fell, his widow became the recip-
lent of muniiicent sums of money.
VIII not Mrs. Wilson, with a family of
little children, which this stroke de-
prives of the means Of support, not be
remembered by her husbands constitu-
ents? Not that we believe in reflected
glory, or that emOluments should neces-
sarily follow it, but while Mrs. Wilson
cannot fill the Office, because legally
and unjustly debarred, her husband
spent their all in politics and she is now
left destitute by his death. He had not
yet been sworn in as Congressman and
no odium Of back pay steals attaches
itself to his memory. Men of Oregon,
see to 1t that his successor is a man Of
spotless record. Women Of Oregon, de-
mand that the next COngrassD,,,, u ~
be a Woman Suffragist Although Mr..
Wilson was not an avowed Woman suf.
fragist, he was pledged to vote for the
principle, and in his death our cause
has lost one who had great power 70 sid
us. Peace to his ashes.

Honest Opposition.

Says our friend of the liberal Rspab-
licdR:
We do not believe that Mitchell is in
favor of woman suffrage, he has never
declared it publicly, and he laughs at
the idea in private. He has deceived the
NEW NORTHWEST upon the subject, and
in doing so he has followed strictly the
example of the late Republican Legisla-
ture; yet with all these stubborn facts
staring her in the face, the editor of the
NEW NORTHWEST remains of the opin-
ion still, that the Republican party will
establish woman suffrage. We believe
Mrs. Duniway is honest in her opinion
concerning this matter, but we feel sad
to know that she is deceived, mistaken.
The great reform of extending the
elective franchise within our own race
but combining ii hitherto, belongs TO a
new, pure, andasyet unorganized politi-
cal party. A work so great and noble
will never be accomplished, and a prin-
eiple so just and pure per sc, will never
be established by either Of the present
demoralized, corrupt, and degenerated
organizations.

way and the NEW NORTHWEST since

at the Harbor, between Saturday morning
last and Sunday night, together with 10 feet Of
platform. That looks a little like earnest work
but energy and determination, will accom-
plish wonders, as this whole Harbor Division
work has very forcby shown. The land
contracts were so drawn and conditioned,
that the road was required TO b. in running

ready received, and yet we see no movements
indicating a determination to avoid the evil
complained of, and working the roads carly in
the season. Can't our trustees use little
