From every quarter comes the most
cheering news for the success Of our
candidate for Congress. While it is
conceded that the Democratic vote east
of the mountains will fall off one
thousand or more, the Republicans
there, to a man, will vote for Hiram
Smith. Those sturdy old Democrats
cannot be driven or coaxed into sup
porting the suppressor of Democratic
newspapers-to voting fora man whose
record is so crooked and eowardly as
Nesmith's. We are assured that Mutt
nomah will give, at the very least,
600 majority for Hiram Smith. Com
ing nearer home, the disaffection in
the Republican ranks in Marion coun-
ty, which showed itself after the ad-
iournment of the State Convention.
has almost entirely disappeared, while
six hundred Democratic voters Of that
county have declared their determina-
ton not to vote for Neslnith, and 1t ID
believed that many of them ,rW vote
for Hiram Smith. Lane will give a
good round majority tor the Republic
can candidate, as we'll as Douglas,
while it is believed that even Jackson
county, the Gibraltar of Democracy,
will give her vote for Hiram Smith.
Here. at home, on every hand we find
citizens who have always, from infan-
cy up, held to the principles Of the
Democratic party, now solemnly de-
clare they will not, under any circum-
stance or for any consideration, vote
for J. w. Nesmith. They have no
confidence in him either as a Democrat
or as a man. The Democratic vote
will fall far short of what it was at
the last election, and we have hopes
OF carrying old Linn for Hiram Smith
by a much larger vote than did Grant
a few months ago. In view of all
these, cheering facts Republicans should
feel encouraged to keep up the battle
until the polls are closed on Monday,
that an overwhelmingly glorious and
unprecedented victory may crown the
canvass of 1873,

OUT ON SUCH HYPOCRIsY.-Yester-
days Democrat quotes Nesmith as
saying in his speeches "By the pov-
erty and toll that surrounded my era
die, by the struggles Of my youth and
early manhood, by the labors of my
maturer years, and by this good right
arm, I declare that I will ever oppose
monopolies that oppress the people," :"
Very pretty, even if the sentiment
was delivered years ago by another;
but to showthe hypocrisy Of the man
that now utters it, we have only to
remark that he is making his pilgrim
age up and down the railroad with
''pass' from Ben Holiday in his
pOcketl

Nesunitil a Deserter.

Below we print an extract from a
letter TO us, from one Of the oldest and
most reliable settlers of Oregon, now
a resident of Washington Territory.
He is a firm believer, it will be seen,
in the assertion of Mrs. Duniway, that
J. n. Smith and not J. w. Nesmith
is the name of the Democratic candi-
date for Congress. But here is the
extract:
COIL. VAN CLEvE-Dem Sir: l
believe Mrs. Duniway to be correct in
her assertions about y. w. Nesmith, "
and this is one of the reasons for my
belief: Some years ago, Nesmith un-
dertook to run for Congress against
Thurston, and made a speech at Salem.
Thurston followed him, and then and
there, in large crowd, charged and
proved, by men that knew him, that
he (Nesmith) was deserter from the
U. S. army when he came to Oregon.
This statement can be proven by plen-
ty Of witnesses now living in Marion
county who were present and heard
Thurston on the occasion referred to.

THE KILLING OF WHITLEY. The
following particulars of the killing of
A. Fl. Whitley at Dallas last Monday
are given in letter to the Statesman {:
1t seems that Whitley and the
Glazes and Holmes had an alteration
in the afternoon in front Of the old
hotel, and weapons were drawn on
both sides, but friends interposed and
matters were duieted. Whitley was
persuaded by Uncle Jake Sears to
leave town to avoid bloOdshed. He
went out to his farm, but being angry
and somewhat in liquor drove so
recklessly as to break something about
his buggy and he returned to town to
have it repaired. While standing by
the buggy in front of Teals' wagon
and blacksmith shop, giving directions
to Charley Teal about repairing the
buggy, Till Glaze came up behind him
with Colts navy revolver and shot
him down, one shot taking effect in
the back Of the head, coming out at
the chin, and the other striking the
left temple and coming out behind the
right ear. Heexpired instantly. This
is brief statement of the facts as |
have gathered them from Others, as |
was not in town at the time the TRACE
dy took place. A coroner's jury was
sworn and examined the body, but
have not yet brought in their finding.

OF NO VALUE.-The solemn assur-
ances OF Democratic journals that
Nesmith, if elected to Congress, will
hereafter prove true to the party plac-
ing him in nomination, only excites a
laugh of derision from the average
bedrocker. No amount of falsehood,
mixed with ever so much soft-soap, on
the part of these journals, will induce
representative Democrats to cast vote
for the man who has done so much to
cripple and destroy the Democratic
party in Oregon.

g.
. The shippers Of New York are in a
bad way. The export trade is at a
stand-still. One company has six
steamers waiting for freight, and the
freight will not come, for there Is no
money to move it. The New York
Times says this Of the effect on Euro
pean steamships:
Several of the steamship lines be-
tween this port and Liverpool have
determined to reduce their rates, ow-
ing to the difficulty experienced in
obtaining cargoes since the panic, the
stringency Of money preventing some
of the largest merchants from shipping
freight. A reduction of I'D per
bushel in the freight of grain is an
nounced by some companies, with a
view Of securing shipments, but it is
feared that many an outgoing vessel
will be forced to sail with only a bal
last load. The difficulty experienced
in negotiating exchanges has seriously
interfered with exports, none but the
wealthiest merchants being able to
purchase under existing circumstances.
Even firms of the highest respectable
ity will, it is feared, be unable to take
advantage Of the reduction in tariffs,
offered as an inducement by the steam
ship companies. For the most part
those vessels that have sailed obtained
q full cargo, but the superintendents
Of lines fear that the next vessels will
be short of the average freight.

AMAN OF THE PEOPLE.--The de-
mand Of the hour being for a true, hon
est, capable, upright mana man in
sympathy with the masses-was met
in the nomination of Hiram Smith, a
man of stainless reputation and unde-
niable business qualifications. He is
not a political wire-worker; is not
mixed up with rings or cliques, but
lisa man Of the people, who viii 60 to
Congress to work for all measures cal
Culated to advance the interests of his

fit her people, advance the growth, in

publican candidate for Congress stands

probity, ability and honesty, socially
and morally stainless, the Democratic

Is More Proof wanted, =,

The Orsgoaial seeing at last that
Republicans were awakening TO the
fact that it was no longer entitled 10
their support as a Republican journal,
having gone over, ''horse, foot and
dragons, " to the Democracy, during
the latter part of the present week
has been endeavoring, with more than
its usual amount of cheek, to prove
that it is a true Republican journal,
and is truly anxious for the success OF
Republican principles.
AS an evidence of its true Republi-
canism and its desire to purify the
Republican party, in the same breath
it asks Republicans to abstain from
voting that Nesmith may be elected to
Congress!
The election of Nesmith to repre-
sent us in Congress would purify the
Republican party, wouldn't it? The
election of man whose campaign
speeches are SO foul and obscene that
his own party journals dare not pub
lish them, would be an achievement
of which Republicans would be proud,
wouldn't they? The Orygoaian insists
on the election of Nesmith asa matter
of pmQication, when it knows, if it
knows anything, that every man, out
side Of the Democratic party, who
aids and abets the election of Mes
NTH as against Hiram Smith, does so
without a shadow of reason other than
fixed and set purpose of disrupting
and destroying the Republican party.
That this is the case with the Orego-
nfdn, Its every issue is positive proof.
The cloven foot is shown in every line,
in every sentence penned by its Gree
ley editors; and the wayfaring man,
though fool, cannot read its contin-
ued impeachment of representa-
tive Republicans, not only here but
elsewhere, its misrepresentation of
Republican tenets and doctrine, with
out being made aware of the fact that
its assertion Of Republicanism is as
false asst Is cowardly. As still another
evidence Of the perfidy ofthe Oregontan,
we copy portion of communication
to the Bulletin, from Mr.. David Powell,
Of Portland, a gentleman pretty well
known in Oregon, and one, too, whose
thruthfulness will not be gainsayed by
those who know him:
= y / was present at the
Albany Convention. The editor of
the Oreg0nid,l, w. Lair Hill, was also
there. We returned to Portland OH
the same train. On the way down he
and | had a conversation on the Con-
vention and on party affairs in gener-
al. He stated in the most emphatic |
language that he cared nothing what |
ever for the Republican party: that |
his only object was to beat it; that he
intended to ''burst it, in this State,
and cared not for the consequences.
He had nothing to ask of the party, |
and wanted nothing except to disrupt |
and beat it.
Most Republicans have been regret |
fully forced to the conclusion, from
the course Of the paper for some time, |
that its real animus was something of |
this kind. But my object in this com
munication is not to draw inferences,
but only to state just what the editor |
of the Oregonidn himself told me. l |
have done this in nearly the language
spoken to me, and have fairly repre-
sented the spirit and meaning Of the
editors remarks. DAVID POWELL.

reliable authority that J. w. Nesmith
is not Granger-does not belong to
the order. So all the fine writing in

didate for Congress, is bedrock Re-
publican--always and under all cir
cumstances true as steel to the party
and Its measures. He was among the
frst on the Pacific coast to respond to
the call Of the Sanitary Commission,
giving as a first installment, one thous-
and dollars toward procuring medicines
and other necessaries for the sick and
wounded soldiers during our great
war. A man oflarge business capac-
ity, Of irreproachable character, and
possessed of an active, indomitable
energy which never lags and which
will know no defeat in the attainment
Of righteous ends. A man Of the
people, he win labor for the elevation
and protection of labor; an honest
m,n, he will be controlled byno clique
or ring; and gifted with sound judg-
ment and discrimination, he will al
ways be foundlaboring for those meas
ures calculated to benefit and increase
the prosperity Of his State and Of the
whole people. Ifthe people of Oregon
want a man upon whom they can rely,
d man who never breaks faith,
man who does not change his political
views with every shifting breez, HIRAM
SMITH meets and fills the want. AS
to his purity of character, no breath Of
suspicion rests upon it; of his honesty,
after an active business life of more
than quarter Of century, there is
none to gainsay it; Of his capability,
his whole business life, which has been
q continued success, without one mis-
take to mar Its brilliancy, speaks loud
ly and emphatically. With aunblem-
lshed record for honesty, integrity, So
briefly; with a pure and unsullied
private character; standing high in
commercial circles as a man of more
than ordinary business capacity; en-
dowed with great energy and perseyer-
ance, and tact and skill in the accom-
plishment Of his purposes; possessing
social qualities of the highest order,
added to warm and generous heart,
and hand that always opens at the
call of charity, without blot or blem-
ish to mar his qualities of mind or
head or heart, the candidate of the Re-
publican party for Congress, Hon.
HIRAM SMITH, stands confessedly the
peer of any man in Oregon to-day, and
confidently asks the support and vote
ofevery man who loves honesty and
abhors hypocrisy, who approves of
temperance and sobriety as opposed to
drunkenness and debauchery; a man
who is in sympathy with the party in
power, and who, by his own force of
character, backed by untiring energy
and will to accomplish his undertake
ings, can and will do more for Oregon,
than could his opponent, Nesmith,
were he multiplied a hundred times.
