ny there are men who have trained
with the Democratic party all their
lives, who refuse not only to be
boisterous over these nominations,
but positively refuse to vote the
ticket. We have even been told
that the same thing may be said Of

If this be the true state or condi-

pardoned for doubling the assertion
that the ticket is q popular one;

The work Goes On.

Democratic County Convention last
Saturday seem to be receiving the
endorsement ofthose who are owned
by the party, men who have no
opinions Of their own to offer, but
are furnished with political opinions
by the party hacks or organ. As
the litigant organ will tell you, they
are good, truthful, honest men, who
cannot be bought with "British
gold," and who will honestly try
to serve the best interests OF the
people Of Linn County, if elected
to office. The litigant organ will
tell you farther, that the nomina-
tions throughout peet the universal
approval Of the Democracy Of Old
Linn, and are certain to be trium-
phantly elected. This assertion is
founded on the hypothesis that the
rank and file Of the Democratic
party will vote as in the past, any.
thing that is labeled Democrat"
no matter what the character or
qualifications Of the men compos-
ing the ticket. The party leaders
have failed to see anything in the
signs Of the times that indicated
that the People might hereafter
wish to have a word, at least, in
selecting the men to whom they
would willingly entrust their inter-
ests, and have SIMPLY gone through
the farce Of placing in nomination
time-seryers, party hacks, who have
for years past been up before every
County Convention asking for
office. The whole ticket, from can.
didateS for the Legislature to Treas
urer, are a noble body Of office
seekers, each one Of them bitterly
opposed to the election ofany other
man to the position for which he is
a candidate. This is well, and of
course the party is perfectly salts
fed with the nominations. But
who cornposes the Democratic party
Of to-day? There is the rub. A
great many men in Linn County
who once claimed to be bedrock
Democrats are not sailing under
that banner at present, by no means.
While we might agree tor argu-
ment's sake, that the Democratic
party endorses the nominations, we
are certainly not far out of our
reckoning when we assert that a
large majority Of the People of
Linn county do not now belong or
claim any allegience to that party.
And we certainly believe that the
nominations made on Saturday are
not acceptable TO the People. Put
this ard that together. Asan indi-
cation Of the reason for this belief,
we point to the action Of che Forks
Of the Santian, sometimes called
Canada. Immediately after the
Adjournment Of the Democratic
Convention and the announcement
Of its nominees, a paper was circl-
lated, piedging the sIgners not to
vote for or support III any way the
ticket thus put forth by said Con.
vention, aud the paper received
over one aihndred signatures in a
very few hours llsof the signes
formerly having trained with the
Democratic party The Forks has
always been considered the Gibral-
tai Of Democracy 10 Linn County,
yet she goes back on these men who
are said 70 have been boistcrously.

Owe OF THE PLANKs.

( bllc GldtE tJ6ll4Ue Is dCCueeu vi tt3V-
] ing got awy with another mans
! wife, and Of living with her, and
we have been requested by one Of
the bedrockers, good man by the
4 way, a resident Of the Forks, to
ventilate The matter. AS hippleing
now seems to be recognized plank
in the platform Of the Democratic
party, if the charge against the
gentleman be true, he is only carry
ing into practice the principles ad-
vocated by his party; therefore the
adherents Of the old party, the
"time honored Democracy" will
fail to see anything wrong in his
conduct, and will vote him anyway,
therefore We would only be vast
ing time, paper and ink in showing
up such little youthful indiscretions.
In fact there seems to be no
difference atall between the Democ-
raey aud the Republicans, as in
Douglas and one or more counties
of this State they have fused, and
nominated Q "Cayuse" ticket.
Having shaken hands over the
"bloody chasm," adopted the same
platform, advocating the same prin-
ciples, they are now fairly started
on the road to glory together, each
singing the praises of the other.
Men who were once denounced by
Democrats to a waiting world as
black-hearted aboIitionists, "ring
thieves" etc., are now warmly elm
braced by these same Democrats,
and pronounced paragons ofhonesty
and virtue. What a change, my
countrymen! The time has come
here ID Oregon, politically speak
ing, when the lion and tie lamb
have laid down together. The two
great parties have found it ex-
pedient to unite; and fer what
purpose? To defeat the will OF the
people While they have asserted
that the independents, the Tax
payers, were composed of a few
soreheads, and would make no
figure at all when the vote was
counted, yet they have deeued it
wise to fuse, and by putting up a
ticket composed OF Democrats aud
Republicans, make one grand effort
to defeat the will Of the People as
expressed in the nominations made
by the Independents. Tt was ever
thus. OF course they believe their
own assertions that the Peoples
party doesn't amount toa ''hill o.
beans," composed as it is of a few
soreheads, and will certainly make
no snow in the canvass, yet-and
here's the rub--they seem 10 fear
that they have possibly been led
into error in making such assertions,
and to provide for this possibility
they are willing to make any sacri-
fee OF principle, even to fusing the
two great political parties, and
running but one ticket against these
interlopilg fellows, the People.
We are certainly Of the opinion
that the fears ofthe political leaders
are we'll grounded ; and we further
believe that, no matter what com.
,binatiols may be effected by the
old political parties, the People will
crush them at the ballot box. The
People are thoroughly aroused
have gone into this fight to conquer
and the puny hand of the politician
may not stay their onward march tx
complete victory.

TIT FOR TAT.

IL will be remembered that dur
ing the last Congressional canvass,
Democratic journals held that when
a party placed . man in nomina-
tion for office, it endorsed his pri-
yate as well as public character.
Carrying ont this idea, they charged
that the Republican party was in
favor Of "hippleing," because one
of its successful candidates had been
guilty Of certain ''youthtul indescre-
tions." And they raised such a
howl Of virtuous indignation over
the matter, that the masses were
led tobelieve Democracy was really
growing virtuous, and the Repub-
lican candidate for Congress was
"scooped" easy enough. Hardly q
year expires and this same moral'
virtuous and overrighteous Demo-
cratic party meets in convention
and steals the ''hippleing' idea from
the Republican party, and adopts
it as cardinal principle Of the
great Democratic party! The
Democratic party certainly has
shown great enterprise and shrewd-
ness heretofore, in adopting plat
forms given to the world only a
year or two before by the Republi-
can party |; but in this instance we
doubt the wisdom Of the undertak-
ing. OF course, the Democratic
candidate who brings with him into
the party this new cardinal .prin-:
ciple, is q shrewd man, probably
the sharpest man on the ticket, and
he doubtless showed considerable
enterprise in getting away with
another mans wife; but the People,
these old-fashioned fellows, You
know, the taxpayers, will fail to
see that his endorsement by . Dem
ocratic Convention makes the matter
any more honorable than d similar
endorsement by Republican Con
vention.

butchers, Meat.

An interesting light. says the Pail -NauGazene,
is thrown on the mysteries OF the slaughter
house by memorial just presented By Dr.. Yield,
Medical Officer Of Health for Sunderland, to the
Health Committee Of that town, against the
blowing and atufling OF meats" Tho practice
OF blowing is described as follows: "a tube
or pip is thrust under the skin OF the meat. and
the butcher or dresser then blows the foul air
from his own lungs into the cellular tissue Of
the meat, tho effect being that deceptive ap-
pearance Of plumpness OF fatncss is Ciycn to
the meat, and in many cases it becomes tainted
with the ecent OF rum, tobacco, ETC. This is
pleasant for meat-consumers, and. where igno-
rance is bliss, it il perhaps folly bo wsc and,

a Singular Accident.

The Providence Press contains the following
account OF very singular accident and narrow
escape from death: t A remarkable accident,
which near resulting in the death of a
young lady, occurred at the Delaine Mill in Oh
neyvile to-day. Margaret Donnelly, aged 18
years, OF No. 10 Howard street, is employed in
the sewinC-roorn, and runs sewing-machine,
About half-past O'Clock this morning, one Of
the young men at work in this room took up
roEo some 20 feet in length, for the purpose Of
throwing it over one Of the rai1s suspended from
the ceiling, IN order that he might pull some
cloth over it. 4 Doose was fixed at the end Of
the rope in which one Of the ends Of the cloth is
placed, and By this pl ocess tho cloth is drawn
over to another machine, situated some 30 or 40
feet away. The rope was coiled up like lasso,
but in throwing it from him the young man
mlscalculated the distance, and it was
sent over one OF the main shafts,
which passes through tho sewing-room
into one OF the adjoining rooms~ The moose
caught Miss Donnelly firmly around the neck,
and, before she wac aware Of it she was drawn
suddenly upward. Her assistant. q young woman
some years her senior. took in the situation at
glance and srasrel her By the waist, meanwhile
screaming loudly for assistance. A Young man
standing pear by run to aid the unfortunate
young woman. and grabbed her By tho dress
All three wero pulled up some 10 feet or more,
when Miss Donuclly's head came in contact with
board projecting near the shaft. the rope gave
way, md they Wero violently precipitatcd to the
floor. Miss Donuely WAS picked up in m in
saualble condition and conveyed to her residence.
