SANE powN rms way!

Il seems that Class Of the
Democracy Of Umatilla county cnt up
about the same sort Of disloes that the
reealcitianis dil in Linn, with about
the same result.
Tho Democratic majority Of 200 two
years ago in Umatilla county is now
cut and slashed and eliminated and
pruned and peeled off until IL runs
down to lb0 on the State ticket, while
several county candidates fall away be,
low zero and their Radical opponents
waltz in over their heads.
Wo agree with the East Oregoaia1a
in its remarks that ''now tie election Is
all over it docs no good, nor does il
look well on general principles TO at
tempt to excuse the defeat Of unsuc-
cessfnl candidates. But we must com.
ment upon the course Of thoso mon

nlar Democratic party, and yet in its

GARFIELD AZ OREGON.

A dispatch from Portland, Oregon,
in respect to the nomination Of Gdr-
Geld, is to this effect;
The Republicans arc highly elated
over tho result of the contest at Chi
cago. On the streets to-day not n sin
gle expression Of dissatisfaction among
Republicans was heard, bnt on the con
trary, ON all sides were heard praises Of
Garfield, especially from laboring and
business men. Even the Democrats
admit that the Convention could not
have nominated stronger man, ON
whom all factions of the Republican
party can harmonic. Oregon had a
very decided Blaine sentiment, which,
though very outspoken, was concilia-
tory, and looked on Garfield as the Ie-
vcrsionary Of the Blaine vote Gar
zelda vote on the Chinese question in
surea the State f1Tss-the.lcket.
IT,. ..s.-.s.. s.-i... ...sais, hat .iss...sl u.
Is either befogged in his knowledge OF
Garfeld's votes and sentiments ON the
Chinese question, OF believes the volera
Of Oregon favor Chinese cheap labor.
lie entirely misstatea the known scnti-
ments Of The voters Of Oregon. They
are opposed TO Chinese immigration
and coolie labor, aud hence they will
not rally to the support Of Garfield.
Bat, at worst FOR the Democracy, Ore.
gon has only three Electoral votes to
cast, and the State gave Hayes a ma
jority in 1876, while Tilden was fairly
elected without her vote. The Demo.
cratic nominee can be similarly victori-
ons next November, without an Elec.
torai vote from the Pacific. Slatea, al.
though the votes Of any Of them are
worth getting California will DO all
right in the Democratic line, and thus
Oregon and Nevada will be neutralized
il each goes Republican. But when
the people come TO clearly understand
that Garfield is in favor of Chinese i'm
migration-as he il, and as his votes
prove-th6 chances are he will not carry
Oregon. Nevada is too much of a
pocket borough, il is feared, for any
good result.

A cay FOR JUSTICE.

We beliese that the money or the
country should bear its proportionate
share Of the burdens Of government ;
under the present programme this is
not so. The labor Of this county pays
Vanderbilt intererest on s57. COG. 600
bonds on which he pays not a dollar
taxes to support the government that
protects him in the possession of this
vast wealth. The Petersburg O6serv
er thinks this may be law, but it is
far from Justice.

By the Yesterdays dispatches We
learn that Congress adjourned on
Wednesday. This early ad-
journment is. really a proclamation
from the high tariff men that The
measure for a reduction OF the amount
Of duties on sugar, paper, etc, will
not pass that the other meas1@s in
the interest Of tariff reform are to be
consigned to oblivion, and that The
protectionistssare to be determined
TO rule or ruin. Tho gallant fight
made Representative Townshend and
others Is worthy the thanks OF all who
are in favor Of tariff for revenue on

forms cannot be secured at the pres
ent session, fhc free traders viii not

until victory Is secured. The over

man should be elected 10 congress

1t will soon be necessary for the west

speaks OF the present Congress as {
edo nothing botly-the mmost indo.

10 say of the Democratic majority I'll
Congress that, "in their eagcines'
and zeal TO advance the interest o

Irrational prejudice against the repals
lican cause, they have utterly ne9
lected many important proposit
and measures and most shan,efn1s
delayed acrion upon a iifss .,sTat-
ters which urgently demSsslr at

Now, If tho OreJoaia3s would fol
once get out OF. It's narrow groove and
proceed 10 investigate this matter
with candor and imparlaiity, il
would soon discover thai its charges
were false. That paper should know
that since both Houses or Congress

has experienced great relief and inf.
mite benefit from its Legislation.
Since the Democrat have been in

The silver dollar has hpen remone-

The coinage of silver Is authorized
at the rate OF two millioa dollars per

The public credit has been restored
and specie payments resumed.
A restoration OF business confidence
has been effected.
Our crcdit has been established

These are only a fewof tho bene-
fits which tho people have derived
from a Democratic congress. They
are so apparent and stand out so bold
that no man-not even he of the Ore.
gOniaa will dare deny them.
These facts are incontrovertable.
And now, as the national coatest
