THE GROVER INVESTIGATION.

We have been getting pretty fall re-
ports of the proceedings of the Senate
Committee, engaged in investigating
the of the election of Governor
Grover to the Unite . States Senate
from Oregon. The eyi .ence is not all
in, but so far as it has g,,ne the circum-
stances point very strongly to the cor
rupt use Of money by Grover and his
friends, If we bad to decide the case,
with the light before us, we should un
hesitatingly say that Grover bought
his election, The testimony will admit
Of no other Interpretation. 1t is in
proof that money was freely talked OF
and rendered in consideration of votes,
and it Is also notorious that some re-
markable conversions from Nesmith
TO Grover took place at the eleventh
hour. Important witnesses, the tele-
graph informs us, are hiding in the
mountains, and, altogether, the show
ing is extremely bad for Grover.
Last fall, il will 10 remembered,
this same man promulgated, in
connection with the Cronin mat
Ter, an elaborate opinion, taking
high grounds in favor of the purity Of
the ballot box aud honest elections,
and all at once he turns up with a
chain OF circumstances against him
which tend Enthusiastically to mark
him as a corruptionist Of the first
magnitude. But it Is the role in which
all demagogues appear when I'M
masked. Unless something very diff
ferent is brought out in the further in
vestigation of the case, Grover should
be denied a seat in the Senate. Mes.
NTH, who Is in every particular the
superior OF Grover, and who would
have succeeded had the election been
honest, is the man who should repre-
sent Oregon in the Upper House of
Congress. And, by the way, we sus-
pect that 1t is Nesmith who is making
out so strong a case against Grover.
