THAT CAUSE OF DIVISION.

The Portland Sunday Mercury
gives Judge Burnett, of this place, a
very complimentary notice, but, at
the same time, severely criticises the
action of the late Democratic State
Convention. That paper is on the
!" war path " SO far as Judges Kelly,
Prim and Bellinger are concerned, as
will be seen by the following article
which appeared as the leading edito-
rial in the issue of the 11th inst:
The Democratic State Convention met at
Albany last Wednesday and nominated John
Whiteaker for Congress. P. p Prim, James
X. Kelly and John Burnett for Supreme
Judges, and G. B. Bellinger for Judge of the
Fourth Judicial District Whiteaker Is too
well known to need any mention at our
hands. John Burnett is the only fit nomin-
alton for Supreme Judge made He is a
good lawyer, an honest gentleman, and if
elected, will make most excellent Judge.
Kelly, Prim and BelImger are recognized as
being the most corrupt men in Oregon, and
there are thousands q Democrats through
out the state who piN not support them.
We gave the convention due warning before
the nominations were made, that very
large portion of the Democratic party would
not support the judicial candidates If those
men wore placed on the tiket. We repeat
the warning of disaster now and whea the
votes are polled and counted next June, the
result will Justify the most direful forebod-
ings of defeat with decisiveness that will
astound the base corruptionists whose acts
will have brought wreck and ruin to the
prospects of Democratic control of this
state.

MR. BoWlbY,s ADDRESS.

~
We are indebted to Bro. Ireland,
of the Astorian. for a copy of the
very able and interesting address and
annual report Of Hon. John Q. A.
Bowlby, President Astoria Chamber
of Commerce, submitted to- that
body January 19, 1880. Mr.. Bowl
by's review of the commerce, local
and general, of our State for the past
year, and his timely suggestions as
to the best modes Of improving our
transportation facilities, are clear
and concise. and evince research and
thought. The document is worthy
of perusal by all persons interested
in the general prosperity of the
northwest coast, and should receive
careful consideration at the hands of
our Sen ators and Representative. It
touches upon such variety IF topics
so neatly, handsomely, and mastery,
that it must be read to be appreciated.
After speaking of the various APP
preparations for. and Improvement of
the lower Willamette and Columbia
rivers, Mr. B. thus refers to the i'm
provement of the upper Willamette: !:
"The appropriation for the upper Will
lamette was Sl2, That portion of the
river is not yet open to easy navigation of
river boats during the whole year. The
work of removing shoals, rocks and snags
should be continued rapidly"
We agree with Mr.. Bowlby that
the upper Willamette improvements
should be continued rapidzy." But
under the present arrangements the
work progresses very sloaoly, and the
appropriations are expended with
but little real benefit, as the river,
channel is continually chaneing.
Would it not be well to have an ex-
perienced river man in charge of this
work? We would call the attention
of those in charge of these improve
ments to this matter. Some of the
wing dams, heretofore put in, were
positive detriment to navigation last
summer. Steamboatmen, experienced
pilots, could render much valuable
assistance in the improvement of the
upper Willamette.
NEW ELEcTIoNEERING TACTICS. = The
Blade, Boss" McFadden's personal organ,
of last week, in closing a bombastic notice
of the Democratic ticket, says:
Aside from political cosideration, there

not superior to his opponent as citizen, as
to intelligence and honor, and preferable for
the respective position. to which they as

pect support in the coming campaign. Our
only hope is, that as the '' Boss " is known
to be great $ JOKER, the above will be ta-

taliate, by saying one word derogatory to
the character of any candidate upon the

Mazomanie Sickle. Last week in
reporting the death Of John May. II
was stated that lie was over eighty
years OF age. The statement was
not as definite AS IL ought 10 have
been. Mr.. May was born In Lincoln
shire, England on Christmas eve OF
1856, and was therefore in his 0ltb
year. He has lived through the most
remarkable period Of the worlds his
tory, was born before Washington be-
came president. before the French
revolution begun, has witnessed the
rise and fall Of two Napoleons, and
the extraordinary success and pros
perity OF the now American republic.
Mr.. May was 4 settler la this yiclni-
ty before Wisconsin became state
and yet he was nearly 90 years Of age
when be came here. There is not one
man In a thousand who can hope 10
live to 80 great an age or witness such

Mr. Grace, the union democratic nominee for
mayor OF New York city, has not yet formally
accepted the nomination. The democratic
papers OF the city are observing significant
silence in regard TO the nomination. The Tam
many organs While condemaing the introinc
tioD OF religious belief into politics. have not
yet opened the determined canvass In bshalf OF
Nr. Grace that Is TO be expected OF them.
These facts seem 10 confirm the whisper that
Mr.. Grace Is TO decline the nomination In order
that stronger man may be placed ar the head
OF the ticket. The question OF his acceptance
or decltnatiCn VIII be determined By the injury
that his running might do Hancock. II the
democratic leaders believe that the fight al
ready started sgainst Grace would cost Hancock
any considerable number of votes then they
Will insist upon another selection for mayor
The Tammany men maintain that Grace is as
strong as any one who could be selected and
that the democrats must calculate upon as hard
a fight being made against any nominee Of
theirs as is being waged against Grace The
chief purpose OF the managers is to get ont a
large vote for Hancock, and this purpose Is Kept
steadily In view. 1t is said that Grace really
cares nothing for the nomination, and will b
governed entirely by the interests of his party.
The silence or the organs looks as II they were
not yet certain that the present nominee is the
man they will have TO fight for.

that every e!ector on their ticket who now holds
any other Office must either resign the same or
give up his place on the electoral ticket to some
one against whom that objection cannot be
urged, and this whether the Office In question
