Hayes and his White House gang
are al of on a tramp this season--some
in Maine, others in Ohio and Indiana,
and still another squad with him at
present on the Pacific coast lie will
extend his tramp through Oregon,
where doubtless the usual amount Of
beslobbering, fawning and obsequious
toadyism will greet Linn and follow in
his train.
Here IS the very proper manner in
which the san Francisco Eeamiaer
greets his arrival in California Ruth
erford b. Hayes is President by notori-
Gus fraud and infamous usurpation, and
he is the enemy Of California, the foe
to her home industries and Of her white
free labor his conduct in reference
to Chinese questions has in every in
stance demonstrated. lie vetoed the
bill the Democrats passed to prohibit or
restrict Chinese immigration be has
sent commission TO China to paiter
with the subject of the treaty revision /;
and his last and very late aet WAS to
assure the Chinese Government Of lis
| disposition to 90 to all lengths to con.
ciliate it and to promote the interests
of the Chinese Empire in the United
States. 1t IS a mockery to assure warm
welcome TO such a character in this city
AS President, de tacto and by fraud,
let him come. Let all who desire to DO
so extend to him the measure of cousid-
Grafton and hospitality they think he
merits. Let him be dead-headed to the
city sights; let him be used-as Viii
liam Almond Wheeler, his pal, uses
bait in fishing by the theatres and
places Of public amusement which are
supported by public patronage let him
be exhibited as specimen Of live
President, quite as Artemus Wad ex-
hibited his 'twsx fgser" Of Judas as the
Apostle Peter and let any who are
willing to recognize the rightful presi-
dent in him do so. But San Francisco
has discrimination and dignity enough,
after having grandIy entertained Gen.
Grant, who was a genuine ex-President,
to manifest her very accurate and very
appropriate appreciation Of Rutherford
B. Hayes. He wishes to go hence to
Oregon. BY all means let him go.

The Legislature which eonvenes next
Monday viii in many respects have to
perform much selatary legislation in
order to meet the expectations Of the
people,
The members from Linn county are
pledged TO the support and advocacy Of
certain measures which they cannot and
doubtless will not attempt to forget or
ignore They are all honorable and
sensible men, and will doubtless do all
in their power to folfll their pledges to
the people
Among the measures in which the
people Of Linn and other thiclly popu-
lated counties are most Interested is
that Of reduction of the fees of Clerks
and Shetifs, now 50 excessive us TO
amount to almost suns fortune to In
eunbents. 10 the passage of an eot
providing for a wholesome reduction Of
these enormous fees the members from
this county are pledged 10y their parti-
zau platforms as well as by their own
promises ON the hustings.
The matter Of securing tho enact
ment of a law providing FOR the ASSESS
ment and taxation of mortgages IS also
Of great Importance to our people. It
is well known that at the present time
the real estate and farm lands Of Linn,
Lane. Marion, Hamliill and other coun-
ties are plaste,ed and covered with
mortgages held ly foreige loan COM
pany, upon which no tax Is paid and
ftom which TO public revcnno is de-
rived TO remedy Of this evil Sena-
tor Humphrey and our Representatives
are pledged, and we have every assur.
ance that they will fulfill their obliga-
tions in this respect, as well as in the
matter of the reduction Of the rate Of
interest a curse which il now eating
up our country, paialyzing our indus
tries and consolidating the property
and wealth Of even so young Il State as
Oregon into the hands Of banks, cor.
porations and souliess coi1uorants.
During the session other impo tant
matters Of legislation will doubtless ap-
pear, upon all Of which We confidently
expect to see the members from Linn
on the side of the people and acting for
the best interests of the 6ommonwc calth.

believe that Douglas county will 90 one

would be large gain FOR the party

can be accomplished. We can give our

due prominence 10 the merits Of our

A review OF tho Official record of
Jane A. Garfield shows that he in-
variably advocated and voted for
every monopoly measure, every Bill
in the interest of powerful moneyed,
railrorling and steamship corpora
tions, every proposition to advance
the condition of the wealthy manu-
faeturers, and in every way promoted
the desires and demands of the rich

and the poor, of the strong over the
weak. lie voted for the enormous
land subsidy to the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company, for tho land
grants 20 all the Pacific Railroads, foI
the Western Railroad land grants, for
the annual subsidy of ono and hall
millions of dollars TO the Pacific Mail
Company, and for the subsidy to the
Brazilian line of steamers. But
while he thus voted away hundreds
of millions of acres of the public lands
and many millions of dollars of gold
nom the public treasury to those mo-
nopolies and corporations and wealthy
persons, he voted 70 impose a duty
on tea, coffec and salt, which bears
with heavy force upon the poor; and
he also voted against paying pensions
to the surviving veterans Of the war
with Mexico, to the widows and or
phans Of those who fell in the war,
and against the bill to pension Gen.
Shields in the closing days of his life,
when he was sadly in want of home

50 bravely to defend and protect, and
