vote may be ser down 13 or II
eleven from Eastern Oregon, one
from t'lackams county, and two
from Polk. With tlsis vote, i =
eaid, he proposes q 60 ITO eau
Gus aud dftealpt II shf'n that f1ls
election Is demanded rs his part
of tlle State-;n other words he
will tr, a little bnlldosi'ag. Should +
this be his Plan. and he should
attempt to carry it out, he must /
certainly fail. Eastern Oregon
has no more right to make de
maud of this kind than any other
part OF the State,and It'll thought
not SO much. For the pas ten
years. Eastern Oregon has recelv-
ed the lions share IN the matter
!, i Congressional fasors; and at the
last eiectie lie Detnocratlc cans
Id,date for State Treasurer came
from there. These are tacts beyond
dispute and general, known, and
|if Mr. Slater goes into caucus ex,
pecting to win by saying Eastern
Oregon must have the Senator,
he ai!l find there men from our
part OF the country who think
Mr.. Slater IS not Eastern Oregon,
aud II he Is, tl.at Eastern Oregon
may ask too much. Certainly, 1t
locality is to be considered II the
matter, the Senator belongs to
Southern Oregon. Eastern Ore
gon was favored once this year,
and the Governor is from Middle
Orego; S nthern Oregon alone
has nothing: remembering this
our delegation will vote solid f.r
| "a Southern Oregon man. They
need but do this to succeed In the
lend. When they prove thai they
are IN earnest, by voting for the
strongest candidate from our part
of the State, first, last aud all the
time, Slater will commence loss
ing, and his fourteen votes will
soon dwlndle aown to four oa be-
come use sess to him. Here it is
confidently believed he will al
most be alone the third time
caucus IS held.
Governor 1'hayer was lnaugnrs
ated this morning, and the new
State administration has began the
work for the ACCOMPLISHMENTS of
which it vas elected. The Gov
erno,'s inaugural address was cer~
tainly very able production, and
il highly praised by both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans. Had the
space at my disposal, ] would
speak of the address as it deserves.
II am satisfied all the promises
made by tie Governor will be
kept, and teel certain that his adj
minlstrasion will result In profit to
the people Of Oregon.
The business IN the effice of
Secretary ot State is of course an,
lhually Increasing, and requires
laouble the amount ot care and at
lteMion it did a few years ago.
Under the careful management,
however, of Hon. r z. Earharf,
the newly installed Secretary Of
State. gentleman emInently
qnal fled to fill the responsible p 8
sltlon, and one whose qual.fica~
tons aid experience in the past
enables him to bring with him a
Thorough knowledge of The dnies
assumed, we fell confident the rec
ords OF the Stare are IN safe sands,
and will be kept with neatlless and
correctness. He has appointed
Mr.. Frank Hogklls, formerly city
etiltor of the Portland Daily Bee as.
his assisfant--an appointments that
apparently gives very general sat>
llsfactlon. Both gentlemen are
icourteous III the extreme, and are.
destined TO make new friends In
their present responsible positions.
II coming State Fair promises
to be a great success. No year.
previous has the rush for stalls
been 50 great, and Friday work.
i men will begin the construction of
twenty more for draught and fine
horses. There are now thirty
running and trotting horses N
course of training on the fair
grounds, more are daily expected.
i The Fair will commence IN the
1Oth of October this year, and on
the 18Th, Col. Thos. G. Lang, of
Wascu, will deliver the address.
