. youthful indiscretions or misfor
tunes" and if Madam Rumor is to be
trusted, he knows how it is himself iI
regard to some of the social sins .
with which Senator Nipple stands
charged.
Mr.. G. Shurtliff, of Polk County, is
father of Mr. f. Shurtliff, of Multno>
nah county. The latter is Deputy
Collector of Customs at Portland .
Oregon, holding his position at the will |
of Senator Nipple; and father and son
voted together for the resolution.
o. n Denny is Police Judge of
Portland, because the Holladay-HiF-
pie ring were generous enough to buy
illegal votes to elect him He is
Director of the Bulletin Publishing
Company, lackey of Holladay's tor
all purposes, "lame duck" in his own
social history, and why should he not
vote for oblivion or endorsement of
Senator liipple's crimes.
Mr., j. N. Dolph, sometimes called
"Hangman Dolph," was tull of proxies,
7 his gentleman was voting on salary
from Ben Holiday, and were lie rot
upon salary, the commonest kind OF
gratitude would have required him to
vote for the white-washing resolution,
for all that he is as politician
and lawyer be owes to John Mitchell
Hipplo.
Ben Simpson turned up with proxy
from the extreme eastern portion Of the
State. He would doubtless have had
some proxies from some Of the counties
In which he has been in the habit OF
claiming his residence in this valley,
but for the fact that people in
this valley have got to know him pretty
we'll. Ben Simpson is one of those
sheep that eat cut an ordinary pasture
| very quickly. Tired Of Thorn and
I bramblc for pasturage, Ben has gene
to grass east of the mountains
John g. Cartwright, of Wasco q
! Yakima. we are not certain which
deserves great praise for bis conduct
| He denounced this resolution both
! before and after it's passage AS tko
death kuell Of the Republican party
This he did in our presence. and in the
presence Of divers other persons. We
do not know why John voted for the
resolution under these circumstan es,
but il is some credit to a man to be abl.
! TO discern right from wrong as clearly
as John does after running with the
| IIipple ring as he has. Courage to d0
right is all he lacks of be ng a lr tt
| fair man.
Mr.. T. r. Harrison, of Yamhi!l, i.
not an office Holder, but he is got Il
man to be easily disgusted with false
promises of position. lie has suck ed
| Nipples dry teat for the Re e,eivership OF
the Land Office at Oregon City since last
October, and is sucking it still. Thi.
is all well enough if Mr. Harrison
enjoys it, but when he seeks to fore,
the Republicans of Yamhill count,
into the position Of apologists, ant
even endorsers Of the same crime fol
which jury of that county sent mar
to the Penitentiary only short tim,
since, we shall be greatly surprise,
If they do not repudiate both him an,
the infamy he seeks to saddle upo
them.
We havn'. room for more at present
We shall return to the subject again
however, as it is by no mea Ms exhaus
ted. 1t is plain that by every al
known to the politician tn,
Albany Convention was packe
for the purpose of committiu
the party to the defence Of the Ind.
fensible personal character of our big
amous Senator at the sacrifice of eve
the existence of the party itself w
n do not assert at this time that the rim
r desired the defeat of the party, thong
, there are many circumstances TO whic
we shall refer hereafter, indicatin
. that such was the case. Thus much
certain, however: The success of th
q party was consideration of small mt
mcnt in comparison with the success ,
the Nipple resolution and the destruc
tion Of the party was not to be weighe
c against the failure of that resolution
