Our. County Ticket.

The kind of devils spoken of in Scrip
trre as those which could only be cast
out by long fasting and prayer, are of
like character of the rings and combina>
tions which are formed and crystalized by
long occupation and use of public offices.
They become by practice adopts in polit-
ical intrigue and skilled in the art of
playing upon the popular sentiment and
arrousing popular sympathy, and can
only be dislodged by persistent and Wig
crous action. We have such a combina
ten to meet in this county-tireless and
uns scrupulous, fruitful In expedients, ex-
pert in sophistry and amply supplied
With the resources which control the
me.cenary and Indifferent, OF which every
community has an abundant supply. 1t
is not enough that the better sentiment
Of the people condemns the machine poll
ties which has so long directed and con-
trolled in our public affairs. 1t is not
enough that we present ticket of un-
-xceptionable character, acknowledged by
the candid ard Intelligent portion of all
parties to be the best ever presented to
he peopie Of King county. We nave
yss 50 meet earnest, persistent and un>
-cr;pulous efforts, backed by unbounded
means of corruption. If VIC rely upon
tho spontaneous action of the people to
overcome these, We may as well give up
lie fight first as last. The capacity Of
ne people for government is theo>
rc,;caily true, but it needs to be supple

A Splendid Canvass.

We hear from various points in Oregon
where Col Larrabee has spoken, that he
has made splendid convass, though the
leading Democratic organ of the State
has apparently ignored the fact. The
Albany Democrat of the 21st says:
Sol. C. H. Larrabcc me. his appoitn-
mcnts at the various towns in Linn Inst
week; aud was invariably greeted with
good audiences. He spoke at Harrisburg,
Brownsville, Scio and Albany, and every
where he left good impression and un
questionably made votes TOR Hancock.
The Colonel IS not une of your volnble,
,Foul tn of July orators
all sound and fury-but IS one oi the
most careful. p:ins taking, deliberative,
logical speakers, We ever listened to. He
possesses peculiar pleasing manner. and
his speeches are of the candid, ar.umen>
tatIve, matter Of-lact sort that cann0t
fail to hold the attention and challenge
the respect of his hearers. There is n"
rant about him. He gets down to facts
and figures. making careful analysis and
logical deductions from p.lpable facts
OF record and hlstery, and leaves no gap
behind for the admission nf prowling
enemies In dealing with Garfield he
quo'c,i only from Republican authority
to show up his iniq ities, while he sup
ported the Democratic claim to ascend
ancy 10y marshalling arrays "t facts to
prove that it is pre>emincntly party
worthy of all trust and confidence"
The Colonel will have grand recep.
tion at Portland to-day, after which he
will speak at various places in Eastern
Oregon, and 1T Walla Walla on the 21st,
Townsend on the 30th of October.

Don't Forget 1t.

For the ordinary purposes Of Dele
gate in Congress has no vote upon
any measure-it is of little consequence
what his political sentiments or party af>
filiations are at home, if he has the abili-
ty OF q statesman and the address Of a
gentleman, which qualifications are =
guarantee that he will not make himself
offensive by meddllng with party matters
in which he has no voice or vote. But
upon the question Of the admission of a
State into the Union, under the discre-
tionary power of Congress, at n time
when the admission of a Representative
and two Senators additional may posi-
bly, change the political complexion OF
either branch of Congress. it Is matter
OF the first importance that the Delegate
should not only he in political affiliation
with the dominant party in Congress, hut
that majority of his constituents should
be in like position. That is the common
sense of the thing. The election of a
Democratic d legate IS not conclusive of
Democratic majority in the Territory
without a Democratic majority in the
Territorial Legislature to back him. The
two together would present an indispu-
table case one Democratic and the other
Republican divides the issue. Do not
forget this when casting your votes for
Delegate and members Of the Lrgisla>
ture The admission of a State with "A
less population than would entitle It t"
Representative is discretionary with
Congress. Though majority of the
States, since the first thirteen, were adj
mtted on less population than that of
Washington. no party majority in Cons
gress has ever admitted a State OF adj
verse politics on such terms. II, there
fore, the people OF Washington desire to
throw off their colonial vassalage and
carpet-bag rule and become free citizens
of an independent State, their only pre-
sen; hope rests in the election of DEM
ocratic Delegate and Territorial Legisla-
ture. The Democrats hold the Senate
for the next two sessions certain; and if.
by any chance, the Republicans should
recapture the House and elect the Prcsi-
dent, a Democratic Delegate would be no
detriment to the Territory, if he had
sense enough to abjure offensive party
politics, which every Delegate from a
Territory who is not a natural born idiot
will do. Judge Jacobs, who is a most
pronounced Republican, scrupulously
abstained from any party act or utter-
ance while in Washingto on, and was con-
sequently highly respected by all parties
as faithful and conscientious agent of
the people of his Territory. Mr.. Brehts
has literally done nothing else during
his first session than to put himself on
record as a narrow and bigoted partisan,
whereby he has made himself an Object of
contempt TO the sensible men of all par
ties The people of the Territory can
certainly lose nothing by a change.

AN ASTUTE ATTORNEY.-Mr. White
relates circumstance which occurred
in Court several years ago, bet Mr..
Brcnts and himself, which illustrates the
astuieness OF Brents. A man of prop
erty had been convicted of man>laughter
and sentenced to the penitentiary. The
statutes of the Territory provided that
the family of the murdered man might be
awarded judgment against the murderer
in amount not exceeding five thousand
dollars. In this case Mr.. Brents brought
suit in behalf of the widow and children
of the murdered man against his slayer,
and employed Judge Denrison t" assist
him in the prosecution. The defendant
seat for Mr.. White and proposed to re-
tain him tor his defence. Alter examin>
ing the testimony upon which the man
was convicted, Mr.. White advised him
not to waste any money in defending the
SUIT; his Case was utterly hopeless. But
upon his urgent pleading, Mr.. White
undertook the case with only the bare
possibility of getting a reduction of the
maximum damages. The facts wore all
admitted and the case submit ell to the
jury to award the amount of judgmt MT.
Judge Deunison made an eloquent appeal
in behalf of the widow and orphans which
drew tears from the jurymen and left
Mr.. White nothing to hope. But he was
bound to say something, and he told the
jury that whatever judgment they awards
ed the Attorneys would get it all. "No"
exclaimed Brents, "we are only to get
half" With that clue White had an easy
thing of it. He excited the Indignation
of the jury by denouncing the ,lisreputa-
ble practice of prosecuting suits for con-
tingent fees, and convinced them that
$3.50 was an ample fee for the services
of the Attorneys in that case. Upon that
basis and Brcnt's admission, the jury
gave the plaintiff verdict for $500. BY
his criminal stupidity Brents damaged
his own case to the amount of $4,50O.-
Is not that lively oracle to be sent to
Washington as our Attorney, where he
has already done US great damage by his
stupidity of speech and acts9

COUNTY CoMMIssIoNERs.-Th voters
should remember that two of the County
Commissioners cannot be elected from
one election precinct. The law prescribes
that the three Commissioners for each

precincts. If two from one precinct

can there be between Eastern and Wtst-
ern Washington that is. between those
who are sincerely labcring for the COM
mon Territory2 The only rival we have,
the competitor which Is striving to pros
mote sectional distrust for the purpose
Of diverting portion of eur trade to
its own ports, is Oregon, and the Union
is manitestly the representative OF that
interest. What every man up"" Puget
Sound is striving for; Whist every man
east of the Cascades who has any pride
in our Commonwealth desires, is a closer
alliance between the two sections hy rail-
road connections, combining tie CONNER
clal, agricultural and manufacturing in-
terests within our own borders, which,
with our unrivalled resources. would
make this the most prosperous State in
the Union, giving TO the East c"nven>
lent home market tor its immense pro-
ducts. and to the West market for its
inexhaustible supplies of coal. lumber
and iron. all OF which would rebound to
our common prosperity and make us one
people hy the strong ties Of common in
terests. This is exactly what the Union
seeks to prevent. in the interest of Orego
and its transportation monopilies, bv in>
citing jealousy and stirring up strife be-
tween the East and the West.
The Convention which nominated Mr..
Burke was in perfect harmony. Every
delegate from the East was IN .avor of \
candidate from the Sound. The dele
gates from the West unanimously cnrCe>
ded to the East the namin. Of the cantli-
date. The delegates from the East named
Burke without dissenting voice, aud he
was nominated by reclamation. He was
emphatically the chosen candidate of the
East. No man will vote against him on
sectional grounds, unless said voter has
a personal interest in keeping Eastern
Washington tributary to Portland. No
one in Western Washington will vote for
Burke but with the conviction that he
will hest represent. the interests of the
whole Territory, and many will vote
against him with that conviction, for the
sake of party.

1t coming to the knowledge OF the man
agement Of the Eureka Jockey Club that
Messrs. Kennedy, Of Virginia City, and
O'Brien, Of Eureka, would run q long race
il a purse was offered, they agreed to put
up q $50 temptation for the boys to go-as
they-please, provided the money was
squarely contested for. They are to run
five miles on Friday, the first day of the
races. The same two, with others, went
an eight-mile race at the Winnemucca
track recently, and O'Brien went there q
stranger. He claims that he was pulled
back and did not get any where near q fair
show. but he will get it in this race. The
first money was awarded Kennedy at Win
nemucca. but be will have to "stir his
stumps" to travel ahead OF O'Brien next
Friday.
Five miles Is a long distance to run on
the Willows track, and 1t may not be on
the bills for the eject Of foot" to win.
There are others about Eureka who do
not jump off like q grasshopper for a few
hundred yards, but they have "good
wind" and may take q jog in this race
that will astonish Messrs. Kennedy and
O'Brien.
All entries for to-morrow's purses, must
be made at Hintze & Cella's saloon between
7 and 8 o'clock this evening.
The first race called for tomorrow Is
that Of running one mile and repeat
start at the judges stand and hurry
around; bar none, and the Club give the
magnificent purse of 81 1000.
The second race is to be q quarter-mile
dash; purse, $3.50, and this Is free for all.
Together with the foot-racing this will
be sport enough for one day.
Make your entries for the above races to-
night, and be on hand to buy pools at the
same saloon.

Hard Times.

The Carson Appeal has this to say Of the
financial status Of the good citizens Of
Virginia Times are very hard now on
the Comstock, but people who have lived
high and had plenty Of money to spend,
hate to come down and let their neighbors
know that they are pinched in circum-
stances. Many women in order to keep up
q stylish display will beat their grocers,
servants and laundryman out Of their hon.
est dues. They are not willing themselves
to bear the burdens OF retrenchments. but
are perfectly satisfied to make their unfor-
tunate tradesmen do It," These eccen-
tr~icities, says the San Francisco Stock Ex-
change, are not confined to the Comstock.
Keeping up appearances is as much the
bane of the city Of the sand hills as the
city of the sage brush. But the suffering
tradesman gets ever by putting an extra
pound Of sand into the sugar, and the
milkman, with q long account, seeks retri-
button in the pump.

SAN FRAScIsco, October 20.-The Daily
Stock Report publishes a letter received
from Hon. A. B. Meachsm, by a friend in
this city, dated October 9th. After re-
lating the killing Of johnson, and a de-
mand OF the Utes for the surrender Of the
prisoner, he says that the Utes would not
consent to allow the prisoner to be taken
to Cantonment, but did agree that they
might be taken to Gunnison City, pro-
vided that three respectable white men
would go with them, and have them tried
by law and executed. This agreement was
made at half-past 8 o'clock Friday morn
ing. 1t was the only alternative to take
every white man. They knew that while
there was only % Utes present, a shot fred
would be the signal for the slaughter Of
every white man in the country. There
were many hundreds of miles with freight
ers on every mile, exposed and unwarned
OF danger. The prisoners were relegated
to citizens and soldiers. The Utes, also
agent Berry and myself, left for home.
The Utes made a compact in good faith,
as did the white men. After we had de-
parted the citizens held a talk with the
prisoners and the wagon boss, and agreed
that the man who fired the fatal shot
should go with the citizens to Gunnison
for trial. The Utes, meantime going the
trail over the mountains, met a large war
party and were overruled and turned back
to Cline's, and overlook the citizens talk
ing to the prisoners. Forcibly taking the
latter, and making threats of death, they

What became Of the prisoner is not known,
but there is not much doubt. / know the
compromise was bona fide, and that the
release vas also bona fide and terribly in
earnest. As might be expected there are
rumors of "put up job" but I do not
believe it.
