Editor Democrat;
II is generally known that Hon. j.
G. Wilson is no more. Tho Govern.
or Is required by tho Constitution Of
the United States to ordor an election
by the people to fill the vacancy.
Tho opposing forcOs---the laboring
masses --of Oregon must now concen-
trato their efforts to elect an honest,
good man from their ranks to repro
sent them in Congress. fhe same
monopoly--tho Same corrupt Ring,
which elected TO tho United States
Senate from Oregon, John Nipple,
will leave no stone unturned 10 elect
another Nipple as Representative.
The people, whose will was disregard
ed, whose man was Hon. II. w. Cor.

is the logic Of events, that there Is an
overwhelming increase to the forces
opposed TO Ben. Holiday and the
Ring with whom ho acts. II Is we'll
known that tho Good Templars and
tho State Temperance Union, aud all
Changers agree In action, ~ respects

previous politics will DO taken into
account. Honesty, temperance and
sterling worth alone will bo the test
in choosing men TO Gil political Offices
The determination is that all classes
and interests shall be equally and fair

With hearty will and fraternal good

millions Of our men in the United

Europe, TO unite in self denfcnce and
self protection against the mammoth
monopolies and powerful corporations
in their crushing, oppressive policy,
animates us here. II Is not the rising
