The Standard has evidently found out
exactly how the thing is to be done 1t
says Mitchell proposes to carry Mnltno-
nah, Marion, Claekamas, Washington
and Douglas counties entire, with good
and faithful adherents to the youthful
Senator. This will secure him ma
jority IN the Republican caucus. Ben
ton, Polk, Lane, Tillamock and Clatsop
are expected to be carried for good Re
publieans whe will vote for the Senator,
and are to be In condition to deny
their master until after the election. It
still requires three votes, and these must
be had from Yannhill and jackson, the
latter Of which Is to go in on the inde-
pendent dodge But Lane, Polk, BEN
ton, Clackamas and Douglas viii not
send a solid Republican representation,
and even Multnomah viii trouble the
Senator to hold, 50 we see his chances
are slim even to get a nomination
through his own caucus However,
Mitchell expects te get enough in the
caucus to give him the nomination out
Of the counties named, and to Bulldose
the rest into his support Those Re
publicans who desire Bfitchells defeat
have no show in the party management
of affairs, and must find some other
means to defeat the workings of the
Custom House Ring.

That considerable portion Of the Re-
publican party which believes in contin- /
aine the war unta the last rebel Is an
der the sod arc dissatisfied With Hayes
on account Of the policy he has pursued
towards the South, and e uese Nins
continually to reverse it. White labor
ing under the excitement produced BY
the conviction Of a member Of the Re
turning Board for forgery, many of the
sO-called policy organs of the party
joined in the demand Of the more ratli.
cal papers that there should be a cessa-
ton Of, the policy Of Cancellation and a
return to the one pursued by the party
under Grant This means, Of course, If
it means anything, that Hayes shall by
iafee Of arms set up tho pretended gov
nenss over which chamberlain pre-
sided in South Carolina. and Packard in
Isonisiana, and that they shall be main
tanned IN their positions by the bayo-
nets Of Federal soldiers.
Believing that what has been done
may be done again, tiies regard this
| plan rs not only feasible but necessary
to perpetuate the power Of the party.
No greater folly was ever indulged by
men. The Federal government has re
leased its hold on these States. When
the troops were Withdrawn, the Oppor
tunity for the Republicans to force alier
governments upon their people passed
away and cannot be rsgained without
the consent Of their Governors or Leg
islatures, which is not likely to be Sc
cured. Mr.. Hayes to-day has no NOR
right to interfere with their internal al
fairs than he has with those Of Oregon
The so-called Southern policy is an ac
complished fact, as much a matter 4
history as the revolution Of ire, an,
! just as incapable of being changed o
reversed This cry for q change on tn
part of the administration is kept u
for the sole purpose of keeping aliv
the spirit of hatred which the masses q
the Republican party have been edu
Gated to entertain towards the people q
the South, and thereby ensure thci
continued feaIty to the party. The me
who make the demand know that ii
change can be Effected.

It IS usually charged by those persons i
Who from time 70 time abandon party
lies ana embark in Independent move
ments, that the old parties are mainly
kept together by desire for the spoils
Of office, and that as a rule all question
Of principle is abandoned to secure adj
vantage in the contest for spoils. This
We deny 50 far as relates to the Democ-
raey, for If It had been true there would
not have been a Democrat in the last
twenty years, as every Intelligent menn-
Der Of the party knew that with the
Radical machinery SO admirably ADJUST
ed there was but little hope Of success.
The national Democracy, with naaght
but defeat staring them in the faee. have
from year to year held their eonvens
tions, enunciated their principles and
bore their banner in a contest which
promised only defeat, until at the last
Presidential contest, when even federal
patronage and money were unable long
er to secure Radical success, ana BY a
large majority vote of the nation the
Democracy won an unquestioned vic
tory. But what votes had won treach.

Great Fraud was inangurated President
We repeat, If in the past the Demo
Gratis had voted only for spoil, they
would long since have cast their for
tunes with the party which has beer
successful for the past twenty years
but they voted on principle, and though
one defeat followed another in regulai
succession, the iadomitable '0ld Guard
came regularly to the front and bor
the brant ef an unequal and hopeles
combat.
And now, after adhering to principl
SO long as to command not only the rs
spect but the support of a majority q
the voters Of the nation, 1t Is surprisin
that many of that grand old guard ar
forgetting their former struggles an
traditions, and are joined in a move
ment which can only succeed in weak
ening the chances of success for thei
lifetime principles and keeping in pow
ler their traditional foe, the Radica
party
We appeal to our Democratic friend
Of 'sgreenbaek proclivities to conside
these questions. Let them remembet
what they are abandoning just now $,
near Of successful accomplishment-ant
what a hopeless and chimerical eaus,
they are espousing. They owe it t,
themselves, to the traditions of the elt
party to which they have 50 long pro
fessed allegiance, and to the welfare O
their country to abandon this dangerous
dodge Of the common enemy and return
to that party which alone possesses tn,
power as well as the disposition to carry
out their wishes and principles.

Taking retrospective view of the

Last Saturday the Polk county Green
backs nominated ticket. The conven-
ton was lightly attended, four precincts
being unrepresented, and the others
were mainly represented by selfcOnsti-
tuted proxies from Dallas. The Busi-
ness Of nominating a ticket was chiefly
diatinguishable Tor the facility with
which everybody whose name was pro
posed declined the honers that were be-
ing '.hove onto EN-. But the fool-iZiller
hadn't done his work quite wen enongll
in Polk, and therefore the convention
succeeded in scratching together enough
raw material for a ticket, and then the
little weakling of a gathering dispersed
itself to the four winds in humiliation
and disgust
j. K. Sears, D. Stump and John
Hawley were put on the ticket for Rep
resentatives, but we are informed that
Mr.. Sears, being a sound Democrat,
positively refuses to accept the nomina-
tion or to have anything whatever to do
with this MiteheIl-Assistant movement.
