"lET NO GUILTY MAN ESCAPE"

The East Oregonian, published at
Pendleton, Umatilla comfy, Oregon,
bv Messrs. Turner & Bull, although
Democratic in politics, takes no stock
in the stcalings of the Grover
Chadwick administration, The lead
er in that paper Of Jan. 18th, has the
true ring and we give it entire, as
follows:
Now the Committee of Investigation ap-
pointed by the last Legislature have made
their report and have therein made grave
charges against our late State officials almost
without an exception, 1t Is IN order Tor sald
defunct officials to rise and explain. A
number of them, we are informed have al
ready admitted their sguilt, but AdaIn-like
lay the blame on Eve, and say that some
one else be 5uiled them, offered the tempt
ing morsal and that they could not resist
the temptation and did partake thereof.
One of them has not only admitted his guilt
But has even gone so far as to turn over
$4,000 of his illegal booty. This is, irono-
cally speaking, a nice state of affairs. Let
them and each of them be prosecuted at
once: Maketl,en disgorge and then indict
and convict them, every one, and let them
serge their full term in State prison rs they
have done in the State offices. We have no
symp thy with any official that will rob or
steal because he chances to get into office,
and we trust that each and every newspaper
published in the State will keep the subject
before the people continually and give no
rest or auorter till the courts take the mat
ter in hand with everyone of them. Let
them each ha"c fair and impartial trial,
and if they are convicted the COMMITTEES
will be fully vindicated but if acquitted
they themselves will be exho 1erstel and
the committee will have to bear the blame
which they viii justly deserve. Investiga-
tion has been begun, now let it be thorough
~ and complete. Indict none through spite
or malice and leave none unindicted through
fear, or ON account of his wealth, position or
power. Let justice prevail, though the heav
ems fall, apd in the language, but not the
spirit, of Grant Let noguilty man escape. !"
We will begin in short time review of the
committees charges against each of those
charged with wrong duing and will give our
views in full i'll each case. We court no fa-
vor of any man or set of men; we expect
no favors of any party. We intend to pub

pendent Democratic journal, and whenever

severest and bitterest terms, and much more
severely than We would if it Were Repub J.
