OxE OF G4RTIELD's nIt. STEALS.

In the spring of 1872, Boss Shep-
herd, Grants chief manager of the Dis
trict of .Columbia colossal jobbery, with
millions in it, awarded to De Golyer
and Mcclellan. of Chicago, the contract
for putting down, in Washington CITY,
100000 yards Of wood pavement, at
the enormous price of IS 30 per yard
Good, honest and responsible contract
ors offered to do the work at 81 30 per
yard, and the Superintendent Of the
contractors himself subsequently stated
under oath thatSl 30 was a good price
Hence there was a clear profit or ''steal"
Of s. per yard in every yard of the
200,0O0-or the total sum of 800, 600.
To get the iniquitous job through Con-
gress-for the appropriation of it had
to be made, money had to be used.
Garfield was Chairman of the Commit
tee on Appropriations. July u, 1872,
as it was afterwards proved before an
Investigating Committee, James A.
Garfield took the sum Of s., 200 as his
share of the corruption fund to fsvora-
bly, report the appropriation. This, the
E.eaHaiaer says, is a bribe-nothing bet
ter and no arnonnt Of partisan white
wash can hide the damning fact Yet
it is the man who took that bribe for
carrying through shameless 'tsteal''
upon the public treasury the Republi-
cans now have as their Presidential
candidate, their standard-bearer! No
such eorruptiOnist can prevail against
the honest and earnest Democratic hosts.
Next November the people viii order
Dir. Garfield to go The next Presi-
dent must be a Democrat.

THE OREcoN STATE FAIR.

The annual Fair of the State Agri-
cultural Society, as will be seen by adj
vertisement elsewhere, will be held at
the Fair Grounds at Salem, commcnc-
ing on the lst day of July.
This new departure in the time of
holding the Fair is occasioned by the
fact that for many years past the Expo
sition has been "cauglt out" in the fall
rains, thus rendering it financial fail
ure and consequent burden upon its
managers. Hence the change is made
to July in the hope that the weather
would be propitious and the attendance
large enough to keep the head of the
management above water. It is most
probable, from present indications, that
the weather will be pre-eminentIy dry
about the time of the gathering, and
hot enough for any human salamander
who may desire to go Fairward.
Undoubtedly Albany and Linn coun-
ty viii be well represented during its
progress.

The Oregolaian is the only Radical
Oregon paper so far that has had the
shameless hardihood, the inefiable men
daeity, to claim that Garfield IS an anti
Chinese man. And that paper knows
that his Congressional record is all in
favor Of the Chinese, in favor of their
unrestricted immigration, in favor of
coolie cheap labor to bar out the free
white laboring g-elass. And for this rea-
son, because Garfeld's record Is all
wrong and wholly bad upon the Chinese
question, the mass Of the Iaboring class,
the workingmen and mechanics, the
bone and sinew of the coast, the sturdy
sons of toll Of every degree and pur-
suit, viii work and vote to defeat Car
field next November, and TO elect in
stead of him the pure and great Demo
cratic statesman and patriot who has
come forth as the nominee of the Dem
ocratic party at Cincinnati. And he
is sound on the Chinese question.
In the light of all these facts how in
the dickens the 0regoaia,a can induce
its readers to believe anytlli,1g it says is
a mystery to ''these presents" For
cool, deliberate, downright faIsifying
that paper can discount Baron Mum
cbausen or Eli Perkins and give them
fifty points in the game e

FOE VICE PRESIDENT.

VIZ. III. ENGLISH was born in Scott
county, Indiana, August 81, 1922. He
received good common school educa-
ton, and spent three years at the Uni
versiiy of South Hanover studied law
and was admitted to practice in ls4j,
but when at home is chiefly devoted to
agricultural pursuits In lS43 he was
elected Clerk of the House of Repre-
sentatives Of Indiana. During Presi.
dent Folks administration he was a
Clerk in the Treasury Department, and
in 1850 he was Clerk of the State Con
stitutional Convention. In 1851 be
was elected to the State Legislature,
and ofiiciated as Speaker. In 1852 he
was elected Representative in Con-
gress from Indiana, was re-elected in
1854 and made a Regent of the Smith
sonian destitute again elected in 1856,
and during the first session of the 35th
Congress took part in the Kansas Com
promise measure, and ofiiciated at the
same time as Chairman of the Commit
tee on Post Offices and Post Roads.
He was reelected to the seth Con-
gress, and served on the same Commit
tee. Mr. English is one of Tndiana's 5
ablest sons, and his high character and
spotless reputation, both public and
private, gives strength to the ticket
and assures it the Electoral vote Of the
"Hoosier" State.

WINFIELD ScoFT HANCOCK was born
in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania,
in 1924, and is therefore fifty-six years
old. lie entered West Point Military
Academy in 1910, graduated in 1914,
and received his commission as I'd
Lieutenant. lie served during the
Mexican War, where he was promoted
for his gallantry, and having subse-
quently lilled several important posts,
was made Assistant Quartermaster
General, which rank he filled at the
outbreak Of the Civil War. In 1861
Hancock was appointed Brig. General
of Pennsylvania Volunteers, aud was
attached to the Army of the Potomac.
He accompanied Gen. MeClellan's army
to the Peninsula. in 1869, and distin-
guished himself before Yorktown and
Williamsburg. At the battle Of Fred
ericksburg, in December, 1862, Gen,
Hancock commanded division of the
Second Army Corps, which Suffered
most severely, and for his gal
liant services on this occasion he re-
ceived his'commission as Major General.
He bore a prominent part in the battles
of Charlottesville and of Gettysburg
in 1868, and in one of the many strug-
giles which took place during that most
eventful campaign he was so severely
wounded that he could not resume act
i've service. He continued to hold his
commission, however, and in 1865 he
was appointed by President johnson to
the command Of the Southwest Mill
tary District, embracing the States of
Louisiana and Texas, but the United
States Senate, being largely Re
publican, and knowing Gen. Hancock S
friendly reconstruction views, refused
to confirm his appointment, and his ad-
ministrative career in that capacity was
of short duration. Il was long enough,
however, to secure to Gen. Hancock
the friendship, confidence and warm es-
TEEN of tie Southern people, which
was so conspicuously attested 10y the
fact that Louisiana and Texas were the
first States to cast their votes solid for
Hancock at Cincinnati yesterday.
Gen. Hancock is brave and gallant
soldier who has..served his country well
and faithfully; he is an American gen
tleman on whose name there is not a
stain of dishonor. He is on honorable,
upright man, and lifelong Democrat,
and as he viii bring with him to the
Presidential chair the two essential
Jefrersonian tests of honesty and capa-
bility, there need be no fear of our
country's fate during his administration.
His nomination is unquestionably the
strongest that could have been made.

MEXICAN wAn vrTEHAxs' PENSIONS.


In the Senate, May 3lst. Senator
Williams, of Kentucky, spoke elo-
quently in favor Of awarding pensions
to the veterans Of the Mexican war.
lie said he was glad of the opportunity
of speaking Of is old comrades in arms.
There are no stronger ties than those
that spring from common service and
common hardships. lie thought that
the country should be reminded that
there were other glorious battles and
brave soldiers than in the war of the
rebellion.
He contrasted the bntdensome sys-
ten: in vogue in Europe of sustaining
large standing armies With our volun-
teer system; which is founded on the
patriotism Of our people, and the policy
of the Government to provide for its
wounded and aged veterans. It is now
time to provide for the veterans of the
Mexican war. Those that oppose this
bill say that these soldiers are too
young to lie pensioned, and, besides,
there are too mfny of them, and the
expense would DO too great.
This war has now been over for thir-
ty-four years, and, on careful esti-
mate, the survivors of the Mexican war
must at least be sixty-fve years old,
and if they do not deserve pension
now, when will they7 As to the num-
ber Of persons that will be included in
this bill, it has been greatly exagger-
ated. On careful estimate, it has
been found that there were only 5000
persons in all, including sailors and SOL
diers, and about 1900 in the Indian
wars. This bill has been denounced as
Southern war claim. Nothing is far
ther from the truth. This is not sec
tional measure, but national.
The records of the War Department
show that the Northern States fur
nished more men for this war than the
Southern States. According to the es-
innate furnished from the War Depart
ment, 5,424 soldiers were enlisted from
the North, and 4,6S3 from tho South.
This includes both volunteers and regu-
lars. He thought that Senators who
had voted $2O,O0O,OOO for arrears Of
pensions ought not to object to the
small appropriation of $l,0l7O00 for
this purpose. He urged immediate ac-
ton on the bill,

rnR PRESS ASSOCIATION.

The Pacific Coast Press Association
before their adjournment at San
Francisco adopted the following reso-
IutIons:
Whereas, the enormous advance in
the price Of printing paper, bears
with such terrible and crushing effect
upon the prosperity Of journalism in
this country, and actually threatens
the oermanency Of llrger pecentage
Of publications that, having based
their estimates of business upon for
mer rates, now find themselves una
bic to fulfill their obligations.
ResOEvod, That the Pacific Coast
Press Association hereby emphaticalIy
expresses its unqualified disapproval
of the recent combination of the pa
per manufacturers of this country.
Rssoleed, That this association, rep
resenting the editors and publishers
of this Coast, unanimously request
our representatives in Congress to use
their best efforts to endeavor to repeal
the duty on paper, paper material
and all chemicals used in the manu-
facture Of printing paper.

plank "drawn mild" for fear it might
offend the voters Of Massachusetts,, Con
neetieut anI Rhode Island-States
where the Chinese have never made a
hoof track And well be blamed if
the Convention didn't " draw it mild p
The anti-Chinese plank in their plat
form is the weakest and worst namby-
pamby, milk-sop, watered-grueI, homeo-

iitical convention. It simply means
nothing, and leaves the Pacific Coast

the way Of relief from the Garfield pol

rLATroEM or HES.


The Republican candidate for Pres
ident Is TO stand between now and
November on a platform constructed
with great pains by the Hon, Edward
Plcrrepont and others. 1t Is made
up of platitudes and Hes. The pro-
portion OF lies, say the N. 7. SIM, is
about the same as in former years; in.
tho amount of twaddle introduced,
the Hon. Edwards PieTepont and his
assistants have managed to surpass
anything In recent political litera-
ture.

obligations" No II hasn't. IL las
stood By while the laws Of trade
have operated.
alt has paid ssss, 100000 Of the
public debt" No it hasn't. Tho
people OF the United States have paid
the money. And but for the mon
strous dishonesty OF successive Repub

would have beea further reduced by
hundreds OF millions, or the burdeni
OF the people would have beenless by
hundreds OF miliions-the hundred
OF millions wasted and stolen unde

Thompson and Galloway to the Legisla-

much difference who elected them, as
