party has for several years had no diff
Guilty in electing its State ticket, while
the republicans have easily secured
majority in the Legislature. Un-
der fair apportionment of members
according to population the same political
party which elects the State officers would
also have majority of the Legislature
Under the old apportionment, based on the
census of 1865, the republicans would prob
ably continue to elect q majority of the
Legislature. Mr.. Alvord and his supporters
are determined to keep this advantage as
long as they can. Their plan of operations
is TO pass such q bill as they think the
democratic Governor will veto, knowing
full we'll that his veto will leave things as
they are, and that New York and Kings will
have only their present number OF Assem-
blymcn in the next Legislature. In
stead of mourning over u. veto of this
bill they will rejoice at It. A veto is
what they want; it is the very thing
for which they are schemng. Even the
small additional number of metropolitan
members which they are willing to concede
might make democratic majority in the
next Assembly and prevent the election OF q
republican to the United States Senate
They will consent to no apportionment
bill which Governor Robinson would sign
until the Senatorial election is out OF the
way, their strength in the next Legislature
depending on the election of another Assem-

Resolution tenth of tho State Green
back Platform which We publish else
where to-day fully displays the average
intelligence of the great leaders of that
movement in Oregon. Here it is
read it
Tenth-That We demand Of our next Legislature the
eeai 0i the iaN creating the Office q ate Printer oi
leea. and tha the psiic printing b. let 10 the low
81 responsible bidder.
The foregoing is in keeping with the
intelligence Of the Linn County Green
'sck Platform, which asks for drain
age law when there has been one in
operation in the State for ten years past.
IL our Greenback solons had known
,nything at sll about the laws of Orc
aon they would have known that the
ice of State Printer is created by the
Constitution, and not by statutory en-.
tctment, aud therefore cannot he " re-
.ealetl' by our next Legislature. The
MY course that can be pursued in
loiug away with that Office is to have
.wo successive Legislatures pass an ae;
,bolishing the Office, and then the abol
shiRg act must be submitted to the
people for its ratification or rejection.
Hence if the next Legislature should
pass a bill to that effect it would have
20 lie over and be again submitted to
the Legislature of 1880, and then if ii
should be again passed it would have tc
be voted upon at a subsequent election
of the people.
We have no arguments to make in
iavor of retaining the Office of State
Printer, but we only desire to teach
shese eminent fnaneiers something
about the Constitution and laws under
which they attempt to manipulate the
reins Of government.

The Salem Record, the oldest Green
back organ in the State, ices the utter
futility of the Greenback movement, as
the following leading editorial, pub
lished in its columns last Friday, will
show;
The Greenbaell State Convention con-
cluded its hbors at Albany yesterday
evening, and put full ticket in the
held. Mr.. nj. Wilkins, Of Lane coun.
", was chosen rs their candiilate foi
Governor. Before he joined tile Green.

spoken uf hy all parties rs being eli
ahls and worthy man, and good speak.
or. He was for many years President
Of the Agricultural Society of this
Stnte, and has been again chosen fol
the position, because Of his financial
ability, aud with the belief that be
could do more than any other man to
ward relieving it of It's indebtedness
Prof I. L. Campbell, of Polk, received
the nomination for Congress. No bet
tor man coul,l have been chosen. II l..
can receive Democrat aid he will b,
elected. but without il we fear very
much he will never see the Federal
tlty, unless he goes there us privat,
citizen. He has always been n Demo
erat, and it would be the policy of til,
Democratic State Convention, when i,
meets, to fatify his nomination. w. A.
Gates, of Union county, received tht
nomination for Secretary Of State. O
him or his antecedents we know moth
ing. Mr.. Sutherland, Of Douglas, wa,
nominated for State Treasurer. w.
are in like ignorance concerning thi,
gentleman. For State Printer, Mr.. w
| ID. Craig, of the Willamette Farmer
received the nomination. He has beef
a Republican ever since the party wa.
organized, and is yet. We can onl,
necount for his nomination by suppos
ing that he was selected for his persena
worth as a man nnd printer. He viii
receive respectable vote from all par
ties.
| We can find no fault of the mel
nominated--they are al good, true ant
capable, but with Republican, and
Democratic ticket in the field thei
chances OF success are no fairer thai
the probability that our valleys an,
r plains will rise to level with the top
Of the mountains that surround them
or that the 6oulders and stones that Ii
at their base will take an upward f1ieh
above the clouds. Not one-half III
counties in the State were represente
in the Convention. What folly, ther
for members Of the Greenback party t
cast their votes for men whom the
know stand no earthly Shance Of bein
elected. If they are sincere in the Ell
tertainment of their principles, the
will vote for the Democratic candidate,
who hold like sentiments with then
selves. By refusing to do so, they wi
assist to perpetuate in power tue me

The Supreme Court of Lonisiana, ,hss
reviewed the case of the People vs. Ar
derson, the returning board convict, ,anj
reversed the action of the Superio,
Court, on the grounds that Anderson's
ofense is not an indictable one in that
State. He therefore goes free and uil-
punished but the fact of his guilt re-
mains undisturbed. The action of the
Supreme Court, setting Anderson free
upon a technicality, and saving his
compeers from prosecution through the
same means, while it relieves the Hayes
Administration of burden of anxiety,
certainly affords no satisfaction to the
friends of honest government in any
part of the country.
