A friend writes to us from Benton
County that since the detection Of
the Benton Democrat the adhcrents
of our party in that county are more
determined than ever to stand by
the colors Of the old Democracy and
fight as Of yore under It's battle-scar-
red folds. This is indeed cheering
intelligence. We can safely believe
the same Of the Democracy Of the
whole State.
The future historian will find, in
in all his researches, no brighter
example Of fidelity to principle and
faith in the final triumph Of right
over wrong than will be afforded in
the record of the Democratic party
Of this country, if it continues true to
itself until the next national contest
for the Presidency. Founded, as it
was, in the purer days of the Repub-
lie, and having as its cardinal prin-
ciples the defence of the Constitution,
the charter Of the peoples liberty, it
has withstood, not only mutations of
time. the innovation Of false theories
and the shock Of internecine war, but
it has successfully risen from defeat
caused by fnctious division in its own
ranks. History repeats itself. For
thirteen years the Democracy have
been excluded, from participation in
the ADMINISTRATION of the Government
b She enfranchisement Of the negroC s.
and the disfranchisment Of men whose
fathers mingled their blood with that
Of our own on the ensanguined fields
Of the Revolution. Fraud, rapino
and all manner Of official prohigacy
have marked the period since the
demon Of discord wrested the reins
of government from Democratic con.
troll. At times the waves of corTup-
ton seemed to threaten to break over
the old party and destroy the last
bulwark Of the peoples liberty. Its
enemies have grown drunk in their
Joy over its supposed destruction, but
in its days Of defeat friends have still
gathered around tho old standard
and defantly echoed the words OF
the old Roman:
"Marcellus farmopc Joy In exile feels
Than Caesar with Senate nj his heels"
Again we witness the gathering Of
the Sclans that herald another tri-
umph for the Democracy, The re-
suit Of the State elections in New
York, Ohio, Maryland, New Hamp-
shire, and other greatstates,, are indi-.
cations Of that revolution in public
sentiment for which the Democracy
have waited with patientand patriotic
devotion to their country, and unfal-
tering faith in the final triumph of
their principles,
Democrats of Oregon, shall we fal-
ter when victory is already lowering
over our columns and ready to perch
upon our standard? Our enemies are
broken and demoralized; they haze
no hope Of success except through |
n division in the Democratic ranks. |
To effect this they aro making a feint
which their demagogues characterize
IN independent movement" We
repeat the warning, let Democrats
beware of the vile delusion. Yield |
no allegiance to the base imposter;
but rather stand by the brave old
ship which has weathorea so many
storms and which is now smiling with
canvas spread and dpennons streaming
into harbor nobly won.

The JOURNAL of last weeks reitera-
ties a statement copied into its col
umns the week before, taken from
the Sigourney NeUs, that Mr.. Gates,
our candidate for Congress, paid the
hotel bills of the whole Convention
at Ottumwa, referring undoubtedly
to the convention which nominated
him.
There Is not the least truth in this
statement. We were delegate in
that Convention, and present, and
know of what we speak. Every
delegate from Marion county paid
his own bill, as undoubtedly did the
delegates from other counties.
But this is only specimen Of the
cheap falsehoods started to bolster
up the sinking fortunes Of Radical
ism. 1t is too cheap to require more
than the fiat denial which we here
give. -Murion Co. Democrat.
O.! shame, brother Mccormack.
You know US too we'll to sincerely
charge us with falsehood. Gates did
not know that an internal radical
editor was standing at his side when
he stood at the counter Of the ballin-
gall House with roll Of bills lar
ger around than your voluptuous
arm and asked Hodge to name the
amount due that house on account
of the Anti-Monop Convention.
Just because you, brother Nc. was
dead-heading you way at the Balm
gall House, you ought not to con-
cIude that Gates did not "anti up"
for the more unfortunate delegates.

SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN.
Convention nj Des M0Ines.


The animal meeting Of the Iowa
Woman's Suffrage Society,"" held at
Des Moines Sept. 9Th and 9Th, though
not success, perhaps, in numbers,
inay be consideted decided success
as to it's results. The District Fair
was in operation, the Methodist
Episcopal Conference was holding Its
session, other attractions, which usu-
ally attend all gatherings Of the peo-
pie, hung out their signs to draw
their attention.
The meeting for vofnan suffrage
drew from all these influences por-
ton to see and hear what these
unpopular, strons-minded women"
had 10 complain Of.
They dropped In, and found no
AmazOiis. The educated, refined
little President, with her soft voice,
put questions as delicately and with
a. true d womanly presence AZ the
presiding officer Of woman's mis-
Hionary meeting. The chairman OF
the executive committee, the cores
bonding secretary, and all other Off
GERS of the meeting were efficient,
active, quiet ladies, without an
oddly or masculinity. There were
then there too, ministers OF the Cos
pei, In good standing, speaking
strong words in behalf Of the ex-
tended privileges for women.
What did it all mean ?' "Were
these men and women in earnest ?'
Had women really rights enough?"
Wasn't there something in it, after
all 2" Such were the conclusions
arrived at by many who "dropped
In +" for look, and staid a half hour
or an hour.
Bishop Haven will never show his
head In such crowd, said an unbe.
lever. But Bishop Haven, the
strong and eloquent, did show hi'
head and opened wide his lips and
uttered brave, uncompiomisint
words in behalf OF woman suffrage
He wondered that at this day, THU
eavse should require an argument
But liberty was plant If SLOW
growth. Washington, Jefferson
Hamilton, and other gentlemen wh'
brought ON the Revolution wer'
surprised ut it's results. They die
not intend that all men should vote
only a few. 1t was to be a gentle
mans government. And it tool
fifty years to remove all propert,
qualifications and prejudices from
the minds of men of this so-callet
free country.
"All governments derive thei
Just power from the consent of tn,
governed.n "Taxation without rep
resentation Is tyrrany," are funda
mental principles of our Republican
ism. Women in Boston, New York

yet not one woman anywhere car
vote rs to the manner in which thu
tax levied upon her property shall

The Bishop thought If the truth
could he known that a large proper.
ton of title deeds to real estate, the
homes of the people, were in the
names of women In this goodly State
OF Iowa. Yet all this properly was
unrepresented by its real owners

Railroad Lands Revert to the
Public Domain.

The attorney general in an opin-
ion, recently rendered, decided that
the General Land Office must con-
strue the law relating to the forfeit
ure of land grants to Railroads by
the plain intent Of Congress-, and not
by the common law, as heretofore
has been the ruling. Under the
terms of the several grants ten years
is given in which to construct the
roads. If this requirement il not
me. the land reverts to the public
domain. In most cases the words
of the grant are not mandatory as to
the land officers, The ruling Of the
several commissioners has been uni
formly to the effect that Congress
must legislate in each case, and by
distinct enactment return the land
of the people. Under the most re-
cent ruling the law will be fulfilled
without remanding the matter back
to the legislative arena, there to be
the subject of discussion and bar.
