sEPUBLIcAN STATE TICKET.
For CoNGREsS,
HON. e. WILLIAMS,
LOOK AT rgeME.

The Democratic press and speakers
are fond of charging corruption and
acknowledgement upon the Republican
party: and no matter how often the
charges are refuted, a charge once made
by them is cEung to and reprinted and
reiterated from one end of the Union to
the other, the Democratic party always
adhering to the idea that lie we'll
stuck to is as good as the truth. But
while the Democracy have always been
willing and even over-anxious to charge
corruption upon their opponents, they
have never been willing to acknowledge,
lnuch less publish, the rascality with
which it's whole history teens. Right
here at home Democratic journals have
always shown desire to charge the
Republican party with all kinds of viii
iainy, claiming that the Democratic
ltarty IS the only party of principle and
purity. Yet when we come to examine
s.he records, we find the State Of Oregon
indebted in the sum of over oue million
of dollars Upon the incoming of the
Grover administration. only six years
ago, the State was comparatively out
OF debt, and now, after but six years of
Grover, the debt OF the State amounts
to the enormous sum of 81, ,o26;215! as
estimated by the Portland Bee. And
ythis enormous debt has not only been
created under a peere Democratic Gd-
nainistrQtio,a, but has been created ille-
gally, in direct violation Of the State
Constitution. Section Of article II
provides that
'' The Legislative Assembly shall not
loan the credit of the State, nor in any
manner create any debts or liabilities
which shall singly or in the aggregate.
with previous debts or liabilities, exceed
the sum of fifty thousand dollars, ex-
cept i'll case of war, or to repel invasion,
or to suppress insurrection. And every
contract of Indebtedness entered into or
assumed by or on behalf of the State,
when all its liabilities and debts amount
to said sum, shall be void and of no
effect"
Do the people of Oregon desire this
kind of paa,e and honest Democracy i?
They viii soon be called upon to pay
this enormous debt, and then they will
begin to see and feel what is meant by
purity aud honesty in governmental
affairs" as practiced by the Democra-

THE TWO TICKETS.

Both tickets are in the field and the
people can now make choice between
them. Both parties have put forward
their best men. The issue therefore will
not be on the men selected, but on the
principles they represent. Hayes repre-
sents an element that was true during
the war. Tilden an element that was
untrue to the country. The one went
10 the field to save the Republic. The
other staid a. home and by voice and
example discouraged cnlistments. The
one represents the viItue and intelligence
of the country. Tie other its vice and
ignorance. The one belongs to the pro-
greSsive element. The other to the e!e-
ment that would retard and destroy
Hayes has proyen his fidelity to the ma
ton. Tilden has nothing but empty
promises to rely upon The first is a
true reformer, the latter n pretender,
who could rot if he would bring about
reform. The abuses which have grown
up in New York under his rule prove
this.

Greatness in TrIBulatlon.

The Democracy seem TO be in more
than usual trouble-in fact these are
troublouss times for Democracy. All

lie will refuse to rnn on the same ticket
with Tilden; next that he has not SO
refused. One day that he viii write a
letter defining himself on the financial
question; next that he viii do no such
thing. And we are left in DOUBT as TO
the actual facts in the case, but have no
doubt that Hendricks f1Iids himself in
situation that he sometimes most always
can't frequently know himself which of
the boys he is-soft or hard. IF Hon

Tilden's friends claim that he carried
his State in 1874 by $4,000 majority.
His vote was 416,oo against 378,O0O,
which gives him majority of $4,000
only. Last year majority of $40
is claimed Tor his ticket. His vote was
100000 against $4,000, which gives
him some 900 majority It is well to

Democratic Reasoning.


The nation is in need OF reform !;
therefore the nation is in need of De-
mocracy.
The nation is burdeued with heavy
debt; therefore it should be saddled
with Democracy.
The nation is suffering from hard
mes; therefore it should accept De-
mocracy.
Tie nation should have better cur
refcy; therefore it should have Democ-
racy.
Everybody should have all the mon
ev they want; therefore everybody
should support Democracy.
Every passing i'll has its ahtidote,
and this antidote is Democracy. From
a black spot III the civil service to o
hole III mans hat the only remedy
lies III a dose OF Democracy. We may
suffer few Ills as people, bnt good

Horace Greeley knew very well that
during the Tweed regime. during which
Samuel J. Tildeu was chairman of tho
Democratic state central committee of
New York, extensive election frauds
were constantly practiced IN that state.
IN 1868 MIR. Greeley wrote an open let
ter to Tilden calling his attention to
this fact, advising him that if these
frauds were cotinued the people would
hold him responsible. and appealing to
him for an honest vote III the cry OF
New York at the pending election.
The only reply made was that, at the
election that fall, the Republicans were
swindled oNt OF the majority vote of
that state by Tilden and his associates.
Hoffman was counted III as governor
against Griswold who was really elect
ed; and the electoral vote of the state
was given 60 Seymour, when it honest
| ly belonged TO General Grant. The
truth of this statement has been demon-
strated by some of the parties who par
ticipated in the fraud. In the letter re-
ferred to, Mr.. Greeley informed 1'ilden
that one word from him in favor of hops
est elections would DO respected by
every Democrat in New York city.
But that word was never spoken.
