ical rule" and ] send you the
following letter giving your
humble servants opinion of the
political situation. / was born
of Democratic parents - my
school mates ate democratic
bread. and meat, and / am yet
and ever shall be a radical Dem
ocrat. My idea Of the present
Chief Executive Of the United
States may be summed upin the
following lines. 1t is with re-
grct that | condesccnd to make
war on any one, but the bribe-
lies and corruptions which have
taken place during the present
administration are enough to
disgust any respectable citizen.
There be men, human buzy,ards.
who feed with ayiditty uron the
offal that rises to the surface
when ttile rool of partizan poll
tics IS disturbed.
The Radicals belong to this
class. a toad will leave the
pure air for the vapors of dun
geon, swine will leave the clear
brook to lave themselves in mud
and filth, the carrion-crow will
turn from the fresh carcass and
gorge itself upon putrid flesh.
It is their nature. That the
Radical carpet-baggers of Ten
nessee, should feast themselves
upon SANDER and falscheod
rather than seek for truth is
perhaps the fault Of their ma
ture. It is charity to think SO.
Oregon politics are in a filthy
condition. Perhaps you have
heard Of our noble Senator,
John Nipple Mitchell. Hc ran
away from P Pennsylvania, sndlefr
some two or three thousand dol
lars unpaid. Before he left,
however, he eeduccd u neigh
Dor girl-(his playmate from
childhood) by the name OF Sal
lie Hoon. He was compelled
to marry her-when he left
Pennsylvania between two days,
he deserted his lawful wife,
Upon his arrival in California
he married q school-marm-af-
ter living with her about Two
years he turned up rather mys-
teriously at Portland, Oregon,
all alone-thdt school-marm has
never been heard of since
Mitchell says she died in a GER
tain town in California. Par
ties have visited the place and
no such person died there. 1t
is believed by hundreds of
people in Oregon that our no.
BILE Radical Senator murdered
her. Shortly after Mitchell ar
rived in Oregon he married a
girl belonging TO a respectable
family. He lived with her some
six years before he procured a
divorce from his wife in Penn
sylvania. While he resided in
California and Oregon, he as
sumed an alias, calling himself
John II. Nipple when his real
name was John H.. MITCHELL; so
you have the history Of Ore
CONS noble Senator. / am a.
shamed TO be called a citizen of
the State of Oregon. We are
represented by a seducer-a
bigamist-a supposed wife-mur-
derer and well known Radi-
cal thief. Shame on the young
and growing State Of Oregon.
The Portland Bulletin of this
State is the Radical organ here.
It dispenses Mitchell pills TO the
sore-headed Radicals and fiet
the banner of treason and cor
ruption. No man who is i. OF a
professed politician, has been
worse abused by the Radical
press of Oregon than your
humble Servant. l have never
hesit&ted to speak or write my
political sentiments when oc-
casion required; neither have
Ihesitated to address my friends
in relation to the political top
les of the day. l have not seen
fit to turn and bay the vile pack
that yelps at my heels. Words
cannot express my contempt
for the political Yultures, who
WELD the sceptre Of despotism
throughout the United States
But, Mr.. Editor, they are ma
rooned by destiny. The people
will cast the Radical offaI into
the cess-pool of filth and cor
ruption, and then Democracy
will be triumphant once more.
What better evidence do we
lneed of tho rottanness of fhe
