TaR COMING PRTlIaRIEs.

1t viii be seen by the call issued by
the Central Committee and published
elsewhere, that the Linn County Deme-
cratic Convention will be held on
Wednesday, April 8, and the Primaries
on the Saturday previous.
It is sincerely to be desired that the
Precinct meetings be well attended. 1t
must be acknowledged that these are
perilous times for parties as well as for
our country, and naught but the great
est unanimity as well as the utmost
harmony can insure the great results
which the Democracy are so anxious to
accomplish during the current year.
Surely every patriot-eyery lover of
his party and of his country-can spare
one day out of the year to advance his
own interests and those of the nation.
Send up your best, truest and most
intelligent men to the Convention-men
not in the interests of candidates, but
of the party-men who are competent
to reflect your wishes and views. and
who possess sufficient stamina to resist
speciOus pleadings and clamorOus over
tires of candidates whose nomination
would endanger party success-men
who viii not hesitate to sacrifice all
personal preferences for harmony and
success. Such men are needed, and
such only should be sent. You have
plenty of time between now and the
Primaries to cast about you and make
your selections in the most julicious
manner, and if you improve your op-
Psrtunity there can by no fear of the
result,

TUE STATE CONVENTION.

The State Convention will be com
posed of l4O delegates-the largest
number, save perhaps one, of any State
Convention ever held in Oregon. Linn
county will be entitled to II delegates,
and we hope our County Convention
will observe the utmost care in their Sc
lection. Elect only those who will
promise to attend the Convention in
person, not by proxy, and be sure that
they fully understand and will carry
out the wishes and views of your coun-
ty, both as to candidates and the plat
form. The exercise Of the utmost care
and discrimination in this important
matter may prevent grave or even fatal
blunders, and our County Convention
should look to it that Linn is creditably
and efficiently represented.

THE s4NTIAM CLUB.

Next Friday, the 10th, the Demo
caats of Santiam Precinct will organ
ize Club, and full attendance is re-
quested, net only of those who have
remained steadf,st in the faith but also
of those who have been inclined 70 fol
low after strange gods. We want you
all to work with us as in days of yere,
and we know you viii feel much more
at home in your old familiar places
than in these seditious nondescipt
gatherings which are gotten up from
year to year for the purpose of dividing
and distracting the Democratic party.
Every so-called Greenbacker in Santi-
am Precinct is respectfully invited TO
attend this meeting and work with the
Democracy fer those measures which
that party alone can and will carry to
successful issue.

This was the first of series of Dem
oeratic Clubs now being organized
throughout the county Our Sweet
Home correspondent informs MS that
the meeting was largely attended, and
full eff interest and enthusiasm. We
are glad to hear it. Sweet Home is
one of the staunchest and most unwa-
vering Democratic precincts of Old
Linn, and it is eminently fitting that
they should be the first to start the
ball rolling in this important campaign.

Hon. J. S. Smith publishes letter
in the Standard declining to be can
didate for Senator on the Democratic
ticket, on account of ill-health. Ho
says: "While l would highly prize an
unsought for nomination by my fellow
Democrats for that high position, and
an election by the people among whom
| have lived SO long, as a mark Of their
continued confidence in one who has
tried to serve them well, the condition
of nay health is such as to constrain
mo to forego all aspirations in that di-
rection. The effect of this season on
nay health convinces me that / cannot
safely remain in this climate in the
Winter time, and 1 shall shortly leave
the State to be absent many months
certainly until after the election"

PORTLAND, Feb. /, 1878.
TO tie Editor ef lie Standard As
the workingman'a party has created
considerable excitenlont Of late, amongst
the adherents Of both political parties,
perhaps a few remarks on the organiza.
ticn would not be amisa. The orpaniza-
tiOn proper, Is known as sheiWorking-
mons Protective Union, and is compes-
ed entirely Of hard working and honest
mechanics and labOrsrs, whose object il
the elevation Of labor from the present
degrading influence Of the Chinese sys-
tenn. The representatives Of this asso-
siation are trying By every means in
their power to drive the Chinannan from
bis position in the workshop, the field,
the street, the kitchen and the laundry.
BY finding and furnishing white men to
take his place. This they quietly do,
and without any Of the fuss and noiso
with which other organizations bearing
the worhngmens name pufsues. The
party organized by Edmunds Il Go. Il
composed Of entirely different inater-
iAl, and their object can readily be seen
by the action Of their leaders, whose
place Of business seems to be located
about the Custom House, and whose
company are well known TO be tIie po-
litieal jobbers Of this county, whose
vocation is to sell the people and their
ticket for their own purpose Or positicn.
So let the honest wOrkingrnan beware,
and not be caught by the soft talk of
late California adventurers and we'll

yet he not enly advocates with infinite
ability all reasonable and practical ideas
advanced by the Gresnbackers, but even
goes further, and threatens tho bond
holders with direst calamity should they
refuse the demands Of the people for an
equitable adjustment
While we dOnot think that the mass
es of the Democratic party endorse Sem
ator voorhees, threats of vengeance or
predictions of revolution, there is no
doubt of their entire sympathy with
and support of his views in the main
ON the financial question. His advo-
caoy Of the full restoration of the silver
dollar, of the repeal of the resumption
act, of the abolition of national banks,
and of legal tender currency which
cannot be Disseminated against or de
based in value by future legislation, are
in full accord with largo majority Of
the Democratic party, and his demands
for legislation ON these points are heart
lily seconded by Thurman, Pendleton,
and nearly every other Democratic
member of the national legislature.
True, Senator Voorhees, may hold some-
what advanced opinions from other
Democratic statesmen on the financial
question, but he has, however, mover
found it necessary 10 go outside Of the
Democratic party in advocacy of his
views. Fully realizing that the Dem
ocraey is the only power ON earth which
can mako successful application of the
Greenback theory to the affairs of gov
ernment and relieve the people from
their burdens and the country from its
threatened ruin, Mr.. Voorhees, stead
fastly "remains in manhood where in
youth his footsteps trod," and bravely
continues te bear aloft the Democratic
banner and cluster under its folds the
gallant hosts who viii yet restore our
country to its pristine glory and our
people to peace and prosperity.

In Congress the bill has been reported
upon favorably which extends the time
for the completion of the Northern
Pacific R. R. ten years. The bill re-
quires the road to be built on the
South side of the Columbia river,
makes its Western termination at
Portland, and requires the construction
of 100 miles of road every year until
completed. It fixes the maximum price
of lands at $3.50 per acre and protects
the rights of settlers on the company's
lands, The passage of this bill, it is
thought, will retard the success of
Mitchell's bill, if it doesn't effectually
kill it.

YAQUINA BAK RAILROAD.

During the week We had the pleasure
of call from Mr.. w. B. Hamilton, Of
Corvallis, who is travelling and solicit
ing aid in behalf of the Yaquina Bay
r. R. He informs us that the Com
pany has already succeeded in raising
about $4,000 of the S35, 900 required
to insure the completion of the road,
leaving balance of about 81, 600 to be
subscribed. Mr. Hamilton very rea-
sonably urges that the people of Linn
county ought to assist in making up this
small deficiency, and we fully agree
with him. The construction of this
road cannot fail to be of infinite benefit
to Linn county. 1t viii open a short
and convenient line of communication
with the ocean, and a much closer
means Of communication with San
Francisco than by the way of the Co
lumbia Bar. 1t will add another line
of competitors for transporting our ar
tieles of export to foreign markets, rel
atively cheapening the prices of trans
portation. Indeed, in this respect alone
it is no exaggeration to assert that the
people of Linn county would in one
years use of this road realize sufR-
cient amount in benefits to build and
stock the whole concern.

"RoLL on. SWEET CHARuor~

A friend writing us from Scio says
the Democracy had glorious good
time at their meeting last Saturday.
The town was full of people and the
meeting was most enthusiastic. Our
friend says it looked more like the good
old Democratic days than he has seen
for many years past. w. R. Bilyeu
made telling speech, and D. NJ. Conley,
of this city, by his eloquence and con-
yincing logic, brought down the house in
round after round of applause. About
100 names were signed to the roll of
membership, and many other signatures
have been added daily.
We are promised grand report from
the impregnable Democrats of that sec
tion in June.

they had just opened the doors, and
there wero assembled or I of ths

pected TO see not less than 75 or so
members. But, alas there are only
some IL or II members all told, and
they are made up Of the tail end of both
parties.
A fellow named J. G. Hutton har-
angued the meeting for about two hours,
and IL was one of the silliest, weakest.
feeblest efforts ever heard made in
public.
During the progress of the meeting
was very much amused. One Of their
number had been-sent out to drum up
members, and after awhile ho came in,
putting and blowing, and Indignantly
reported that theif members would
rather drink their Id whisky than 70

Democrats especially keep aloof from
such political abortions., Stand by tho

so proud in the past, and with which
you have sailed fer SO many years.

in Old Linn, and although ! am now a
resident of "Black Marion" where the
Democrats are in the minority, | shall
still stand by my cololz, and neither
this Greenbaek scare or any other as
sistant Radical movement can swerve
me from my allegiance. l bog the
Democrats of Linn to do likewise.
Don't be fooled by these mushroom
movements which spring up and wither
in day, but stand by the spotless en-
sign of Democracy, and you will tri-
umph over the Radical Mitchellites by
your usual glorious majorities.

THE RecOid says that two antagonis-
tic Central Committees-Greenback
and Radical-are to meet at Salem OF
the same day. The Standard thinks
there is not much antagnoisn between
the two. While the former may not
know it, it is working TO accomplish the
same end for which the latter is CEN
testing-the success of the Radical
party and reelection of J. III. Mitchell.
If it accomplishes anything in the ap-
preaching campaign, it will be the sue
of the Radical party.
