In Hayes veto message be so far for
got the dignity of his usurped position
as to characterize that measure as "a
fraud !" and the brave and impetuous
.'sunset" Cox, immediately after the
reading of the veto message in the
House, arose and pronounced the man
fraud who had characterized the bill
as such And Mr.. Cox was right, as
the people of the country well know.
But is the bill fraud, and is it pro-
per for man claiming his Office by even
so uncertain tenure as the Presidents
closest friends accord him, to thus un-
blushingly abuse its supporters and lay
under contribution the vocabulary of
the English language for vile epithets
with which to stigmatize the people who
demanded its passagei Must the
friends of this measure be thus accused
of want of fealty to the government by
the men who thought it no robbery to
Gleh from their pockets the rewards of
their sweat and toll, in order to cater to
the demands of those who purchased
the government bonds at their face
value with greenbacks bought at dis
count of from thirty to fifty cents on
the dollar, and must the sham Presi-
dents dirty slang be brought into re-
quisition to bolster up the claims for
favorite legislation of these gold-em-
bossed cormorants of Wall street Z
Is it an act of reprobation and vil-
lainy on the part of the people TO de-
mand the restoration of the silver dol
lar to the position occupied by it for so
years or more, as legal tender money,
when the men who thus accuse them,
by our Congressional enactment, could
add to the commercial value of the
bonded Indebtedness of the country ex-
eeeding seven hundred millions of dol
larsi And this, without even consult
ing the people of whom they were the
servants, as was the case in the passing
Of the Act of March, 1862 All this
was right when the legislation was
against the people and in the interests
of the purchasers of our bonds. But,
when the people rise in the majesty Of
their strength, and demand u restora-
ton Of the rights ruthlessly torn from
them by their public servants, and ask
to be placed upon the Bond, and upon
the letter of the law (by themselves en-
aeted) under which the bondholder
claims his right, and by which they (the
people, were swindled to such an enor
nous amount, this greatest of Frauds
this whitewashed Imposter-this kalso-
mined Blk, insults seven-tenths of the
people and three-fourths Of the peoples
in Congress by proneun-
cling this measure for their benefit and
relief "a fraud 2
Is there any shame left in that Huge
Sham's composition, er has his Rape of
the Presidency left him forever cal
loused and impervious to any further
of selfrespeet or deeency?

WHAT DOES n snow

And now here prances in on tis Re
publican exchange with hew-gag and
timbrel, sounding gieeful notes over the
assumed fact that the reduction of tlsT-
y millions in tke appropriations Of the
last Congress has dwindIed to aboat
nine millions Well, if the statement
were true, as it Is not, the nine millions
is certainly worth saving, aud tie re-
naming twenty y-one millions would have
been saved had the Republicans in the
executive departments co-opers;ed " ith
Congress in carrying ont the work Of
reform. If there is any point in the
statement as used by Republicans, it is
that the prodigate expenses Of the gov
esnment cannot be reduced to an econ-
omical basis until the Democracy have
control of the Senate ana Executive
branch of the government, as we'll as of
the House of Representatives.

THE YAQUINA BAY R. r.
rnR Aa.orsT xor YET sEcrnEn


We are informed that our statement
of last week that the amount necessary
to insure the building Of the Corvallis
4 Yaquina Bay Railroad was mistake.
We are sorry for this, as We supposed
our informant knew what he was talk
ing about when he gave us this infor-
nation. Mr. Hamilton, the soliciting
agent of the Company, informs us, the
amount yet required is $4,000. We
now most earnestly urge upon our Al.
bany citizens the importance of making
up this deficit. The amount is nothing
to town like ours which gave s50,0 600
to the o. d @: R. R, when our city did
not possess half the wealth that it does
now, and this enterprise will be of
vastly more benefit in proportion to the
amount asked for. If the road reaches
Corvallis, Albany Is bound to secure it,
and all transfers fiom that line to the
main trunk will be made here, hence
our city will be in fact the eastern
terminus of that road. Any one can
see at glance the vast benefits to ac-
cru to our city by this arrangement,
and no one should hesitate to assist in
its accomplishment. Several members
of the Company viii be in cur city
next week in the interest of this road,
and we urge upon our citizens the i'm
portance Of giving them favorable
hearing and all the aid possible.

A sPLExETIC MOTIVE.

The Labor World runs up the names
of Dan. voorhees, and Brick Pomeroy
as its next Presidential ticket. We
never did believe that paper was sincere
ia its professed admiration of Dan.
voorhees,, and now we are satisfied that
it has some grudge against him. BY
associating thai eminent statesman in
such disreputable connection the La
Dor World hopes 70 kill Senator Voor-
hees OF, but fortunately its limited cir
cnlatiOn prevents the accomplishment Of
its nefarious designs.

DERXIER RESORT.

Certain Republican politicians have
been making desperate effort for near
ly two years to set the old know-noth-
ing order on its feet again. They might
as well try to breathe the breath of life
into sphynx. Perhaps majority of
the Republicans believe in the princi-
pies of that defunct organization, but
as it does not promise to prolong their
power, they are not likely to proclaim
their opinions from the house-top.
