Linn County IL Entitled 70 Ten
Delegates.

The apportionment of delegates
among the several counties to attend
the Republican State Convention, is
based upon the Republican vote cast
for Joseph G. Wilson in 1872. allow
ing one delegate in said Convention
for each one hundred or fraction of
fifty votes so cast. As Linn county
cast nearly one thousand votes for
Wilson t97Sl, she is clearly entitled to
ten votes instead Of nine, as appears
In the call issued by the Chairman of
the Republican State Central Com
mittee, 1t is simply mistake, and
we suppose will be corrected as soon
as attention is drawn to it. The call
tor a Republican County Convention,
elsewhere in this issue. looks to such
correction, and calls for the full num-
ber to which Linn county is entitled

The Philadelphia municipal elec.
tion, which transpired Wednesday OF
last week, was the most hotly contest
ed election that has been held in that
city for many years. The defeat Of
the Republican ticket in so noted a
Republican stronghold as Phila(lel-
phia, was an object worthy of effort.
and the most extraordinary exertions
were made to obtain that result. But
all the scheming, plotting and wire
pulling failed of success. as the Re
publican candidate for Mayor, Stokely,
got away with the Office with the mag
nifcent majority of 1887 votes.
When the result was proclaimed the
Republican organizations of the city
paraded the streets with Transparent
cies and music, amid the greatest re-
jOicings.

The success of the Republican ticket
depends entirely upon the character OF
the nominations made for the various
county and State offices. If the nom
inees are capable, honest, men ofchar-
acter and stand high in the estimation
Of their neigllbors, we can rely upon
their election. Let us have such men.
and such only. And the way to secure
such nominations is for the people to
turn out to the primaries and select
good and true men as delegates to the
County Conventions. Send men in
whom you have confidence, honest,
tried. capable men, who understand
the demands of the people; men who
have minds of their OWE; men of good
judgment; men who are fully impress
sed with the responsibility resting up
on them. Attend to the matter as
you should, each and every voter, and
success is certain.

Labor Strikes.

The striking cotton and wooden
mill operatives of Philadelphia held a
meeting on the Goth, and resolved to
adhere to their demands. Mannfac-
turers assert that they have only
injured themselves by this action, as
most of the mills now have on hand
large stocks OF manufactured goods,
and were running under the least
possible expense in order to give them
employment.
The ship carpenters who had been
on a strike at Cooper's Pointand Cam
den. resumed work ON the 10Th. hav-
ing obtained the increased pay de-
manded.
six hundred workmen of the extra
Spanish war force have been dis
charged from the Philadelphia navy
yard. their services being no longer
needed.

operatives at kensigton, Penn, are
idle, owing to strike for an advance
of fifteen per cent. over the present
rate of wages.

Rarilroad to Port oxford.

From the Jacksonville Sentinel we
learn that the farmers Of Rogue River
Valley have been canvassing the pro-
priety of building railroad from some
available point in the valley to Port
Oxford. The probable cost of such
railway Is not given. nor is it stated
that survey has been made to prove
the feasibility ofthe proposed improve
ment. 1t is stated, however. that the
farmers of the valley will bind them
selves to donate to any Company, up
on the completion OF the road, two
hundred Thousand bushels of wheat,
which is certainly no small offer as a
free gift, and should attract the atten-
ton of capitalists. The Semiaeladds:
Southern Oregon is noted for having
the finest climate on the Pacific coast,
and with railroad to carry her pro-
duets to market would make her one
of the most desirable places on the
coast to live. Let the farmers agitate
this question. remembering that they
are the parties most interested in cheap
transportation. and that if this section
is ever blessed with a railroad it must
be the result of their energy and en-
terprise.

The Temperance Crusade.

The Temperance crusade continues
with unabated artlor in Ohio. AT
Xenia. five saloons were closed on the
Goth; about all have closed at Oxford ;
while accounts differ as to the result
in Dayton, there is undeniable evil
dence that the saloons are weakening.
At Columbus the women's PRAYER
meetings are largely. attended, and
great interest manifested. No less
than three thousand women have offer
ed their services, up to February 10Th,

Meetings of the city of New York. to
inaugurate the war against King Alco-
hol. The women of Brooklyn, New
York, inaugurated the crusade against
saloons on Sunday last. The women
OF Orange, New jersey, began work
on Friday last. Henry Ward Beecher
preached to large congregation on
the evening Of the 21st, He said that
history would not show a parallel to
the effort now making in the West to
suppress dram-drnking, which he
characterized as sconrg fthe house,

dence Of God, there has arisen a moral
cycIone-a perfect tempest of intlu-
