The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1880-11-26


We are greatly pleased to observe
the tone taken up ia regard to ma
tlonal politics since our defeat on the
I'd of October last, by our country
Democratic exchanges. II Is alto
gether admirable, aud if vigorously
maintalned, cannot fail to have It's
effect in strengthening the hold
which the Democratic faith has upon
the people of this Coast, as shown by
the figures of tho late contest. The
interior Of this State has for long
time better supported Democratic
Journals than has tho city, but we
have cause, In our own success, to
believe that that period has passed
and gone forever. II Is the duty OF
every Democrat, whether residing in
the city or out OF 1t, TO subscribe for
his own paper, especially when it
supplies oil the nows. II Democrats
do that, they win be promoting the
cause they SO thoroughly believe in,
and In the end will promote their
own individual prosperity. They
will build up an able and honest
Democratic press, that will, at least,
hold It's own with its opponents, and
tAttit l.. ti,a st..l 4a...a ea.4.a .c a.
to the wall. IfDemoerat5 give theii
patronage TO their own papers, the
balance that remains will not support
as many Republican organs rs nov
exist, and some OF them would have
In consequence TO succumb. That Il
the plain, common sense, business
way of putting the case. Republican
organs in this city have almost mo.
nopollzed both Democratic and lie
publican patronage. Fully ne.hal
OF tho newspaper support Is derived
from Democrats. Let that go where
1t rightly belongs, and 1t will follow
that there will be fewer organs 10 liz
about US, and those which remain
viii find 1t 10 their interest to bl
more conslderate in their statements
As things have gone oa Cor Ions
time, the best n'l of o party have
been grossly misrepresented, oui
principles have often been made lt
appear the opposite of what the,
really were, the great men Of ou
party, all over the country, ,hrve beer
wiekedIy malIgned, and even thi
good they have accomplished In Con
gress, and elsewhere, has been made
to rebound 10 the credit Of our oppo
nents, who opposed #. IN this con
dItion OF things, It IS really marvel
Gus that our party LAS held togethe
as well as 1t hns. There must be I
strong, abiding confidence In tn
soundness of Democratic principles Il
the minds OF tho masses, or other
wise the Democratic faith had beer
smothered under the load OF misrep
resentatioa 10 which II has been sub
jeeted.
BY helping the Eraminer will
readers in the country who take /
city paper, our country exchange
WIFI be helping themselves ia .ari
ETY. OF ways that we neeI not poin
out. An opposition organ ought no
TO be taken By Democrat, in eithe
city or country, to the exclusion o
the E.ramiuer. We mean TO ill th'
bill, and trust our friends, IN return
will see to II that our subscription lis
is full. We are very sure they de
sire TO see the Rcamiaer q power il
the State, which il can only be b,
being read by majority OF the peo
pie In the State. The Democrat
have It In their power, without cost
ing them a single dime, TO make tn
organ Of their party the most influen
tiaI paper, by all odds, that Is pub
lisbed on the Pacific Coast. The!
have but to transfer their patronag,
from organs they do not believe IL
TO one that they do. IT Is not enough
reader, that you take the paper your
self, but you viii be helping the gooe
work along by seeing that your neigh
bors take 10 also.
