take part in the contest between Sec
tionalism as represented by Conkling,

ton districts Yesterday, being the first
of the four registration days This is
10000 more than were registered on
the same day in 1876, and nearly 3d.
600 more than attended to this duty on
the first registration day of last year.
Oar friends in Ohio and Indiana may
confidently look now to see New York
roll up a majority of $4,000 votes for
Hancock, despite the consPiracies of
Davenport and lis train land, his
threatened "bulldozing of naturalized
citizens and the intimidation Of his re-
furnished "cage" This with the con-
tingent of Brooklyn means march of
the Democracy from the metropolis

No party in the world can make 50
many promises as the Republican
party. We have had Republican
Legislature now, and ~hat has been
done?
Has your road law been amended
as promised
Nearly every honest, patriotic citi-
zen wanted tho Indebtedness clause
taken out of the assessment law. Has
it been done? If we remember Alright
there was much said in this county
last spring about local option and even
prohibition liquor laws. II members
of our Blue Ribbon Clubs will read
the proceedings Of the Legislature
they will see how much has been
done in this regard.
Interest, TOO, was TO have been
lowered. Has this promise been
kept ?
Remember that Republicans have
a majority Of twenty in the House
and two in the Senate, and can pass
any law they see fit, and what have
they done Simply spent $50, 900 or
$40, 600 of the peoples money. and
our laws are probably as good to-day
as theV will be when the ueW hills
90 into effect.

STILL AN0THER C0XVERT.

y dispatch to the S. F. E..umiaer
last Monday from Philadelphia states
that Joseph S Wright, the leader of
the Greenback party in that city, dele
gate to the nominating convention at
Chicago, and present member of the
Greenback State Central Committee,
viii follow the example of Hughes and
Dewes and cut loose from Weaver.
This action has been brought about by
the result of the Indiana election. He
denounces Weaver in the bitterest terms
for selling out to the Republicans. He
says it is clear that Hancock will get
the bulk of the Greenback vote in
Pennsylvania and about 10000 of the
Greenback vote in Indiana.

The following address issued by
the Democratic Executive Committee
Of Indiana, shows the situation in
that State
TO Democratic and Independent
voters Of Indiana The result Of the
election last Tuesday is n deep disap-
pointment to US all. The extent of
the success which the Republican
party has achieved in this State is as
much OF a surprise TO Republicans as
to Democrats, and proves the major
ity OF the Republican party were as
ignorant Of the means which their
corrupt leaders were employing as we
were. Temporarily, the loss Of our
State Is n calamity that time will en-
able us TO retrieve, but the injury
which our FREQ institutions will sus-
tain resulting from the frauds and
corruptions practiced by the leaders
Of the Republican party to secure
their triumph Is incaIculable. The
causes which enabled the Republican
Iparty 10 succeed in the electlon-the
partial success Of their scheme to AZ
ricanize our State for political pur-
poses, the corrupt use Of money for
the purchase Of votes, the importa-
tion and use OF repeaters protected
by deputy marshals and aid dimand-
cd by them from the use Of govern
ment machinery Of elections under
the pretensc OF supervising the elec-
ton Of members OF CoDgress-are
now plain.
In the Presidential election we will
not have TO encounter these forces to
the same extent as in our State eiec-
tions. Their corruption fund will
have to be divided among many
States. Their repeaters will be al
home, and those Of them discharged
from arrests OF the deputy Inarshall
on straw bail will not likely make
their appearance in our State again.
We shall have no federal marshal ol
federal machinery TO contend against
We are thoroughly united in ou
councils, and whatever our adverse
ries may say 10 the contrary Is un
true. We therefore call upon yol
not TO relax any OF your efforts, pu
new life and energy into your count!
and township organizations, and TAX
all measures in your power TO brini
cut your full strength TO the polls
The same votes polIed By us In Oc
tober, If polIed in November, will SC
cure to US the State. The ayerag
majority against us at the late elec
iion will not exceed 4 900, and ma.
: fall below that. The majority can
and In our opinion will be overcom
IN the Presidential election. Achang
OF three votes in each precinct vii
accomplish it. Remember you hav

Republicans never will be satisfied
with their treachery to the people
Time aftcr time, year after your, have
they betrayed the people, and yet they
continue to ask tho support and conf
dence of voters.
Happily, however, there il sufficient
independence in that party TO bring tho
recreants to the bar Of pubic opinion.
The Salem Statesman, an extremely
radical Republican paper, has the fol-
lowing article upon the manner and
methods of the present Republican
Legislature
"Ever since the introduction Of Sena-
tor CLOVIS bill, No. 50, to regulate in
terchango of traffic lly common carriers,
the press, including papors in Eastern
Oregon, Eugene, Harrisburg, Albany,
Corvallis, independence, Dallas, Mon

has been a persistent effort made by
tho o. II. IL n. o. Il C. II. II. and w.

the 9th inst. Hon. j. \. Dolph, Vice
President Of the Willamette valley rail
roads and attorney for the same compa-
MICS, said he would beat the measure il
he could. On the 9Th the bill was y
ferred after considerable discussion lin
which Portland showed It's opposition)
TO the Committee on Federal Relations,
both the Committees on Commerce and
Railroads being considered unfriendly.
This Federal Committee reported the
bill back ON tho Sth without recon
mcndation an effort was then made to
have it passed under Suspension of the
rules, then Haines, Colvig, Stearns,
knight, Simon and Fulton argued want
of time to examine the bill. Tho bill
contains II lines or $50 words WIS in.
troduced Sept. -, referred on the 1th
inst, and reported on the Stb inst.
The opposition contended against occu
pying the valuable time Of the Srna,,
in suspending rules.
Ncssrs. Humphrey. Eiieer, Glow
Ice and Siglin ably argued It's passage
: The Committee on Commerce consists
Of Senators Waters, Fulton and Glow
In less than an hour after debate OF
this bill, Mcssrs. Stearns, Colyig Simon
Waters, Fulton and Haines, opponent,
of the measure, ,votelto adjourn overSat

Thus, while bill advocated by the val

paper in the State,a bill urged by every
Granger, every producer and shipper
every consideration OF public policy
could not bc passed for waus Of valna

the incorrigible Eaton eagerly inquired,
"Gentlemen, isn't there some way by

A CBMPLICATED case.

The telegraph informs us that there
is some possibility that the newly
elected Republican Supreme Court
Justices of Indiana may reverse the
decision Of the Democratic judiciary,
which declared the constitutional
amendments of the State not adopt
ed. This would require another cleo
fion for State officers in November.
AS such decision would also inyali-
date the election of the Justices them
selves, unlocked for consequences
and complications would arise. The
law question is now being consider
ed.

Laboring men, do you know that
ifthe tariff was removed from wool
en- goods, suit of clothing which
now costs you so could be had for
Si2. The Republican party causes
you TO throw away IS every time
you spend $50 for woolen clothing.
When your wives buy calico and
linen they virtually throw away 50
when they pay out 50.
1t is all very well to talk about
protection being benefit to the peo-
pie. 1t is to favored few, but is n
curse to the farmer and laborer.
Our railways are constructed Of
iron which costs so much that Brit
ish makers pay from 40 TO 80 per
cent. import duties and still get a
profit. Who foots the bill Why
the farmer, of course. He does so
by paying high freights, Remove
the duty on iron and roads can be
built cheaper and will not have TO
charge such high rates for freight.
The Republican platform declares
in favor of protection, while our plat
form comes out for free trade.
We have about 1900, coo farmers
In the United States. Supposing
that they annually spend 5000 each
for articles Of consumption, and the
grand total would be 81 400, 200, 600.
ON this amount they pay import du-
ties of aooat 10 per cent Take oil
the duty and it would be an annual
saving TO them of 100000, 900.
Who saddlcd this expense on them :
The Republican party. Democrats
are in favor of free trade.
Farmers, If you were not compelled
TO pay duty on foreign goods you
could get for 800 what you now pay
$40 for. Docs it astonish you : II
is fact nevertheless. The fact /,
you have never realized the amount

com WEATHER. ~ rue E1sr.

Last Sabbath very severe snow and
wind storm visited the upper AIissis-
sippi States. Snow fell in great guam
titles in Minnesota, Wisconsin, AIichi-
gan and Iowa. and great many trains
were blockaded. About a dozen YES
sells were either sunk or washed ashore
in Lake Michigan. Stock has been lost
in great numbers, and on Monday the
telegraph stated that the worst storm
ever known was still raging in Mime
sofa and Dakota. On Friday and Sat
urday it showed heavily at Council
Bluffs, melting as it fell. Itthen turned
cold and everything froze up solid. The
earth is frozen several inches deep all
over Iowa, and as two thirds of the po-
tato crop is not yet dug it is supposed
all the Irish will have to emigrate. If
so, the State will probably go for Gar
field.

GOOD NEWS If TRUE.

The latest cable dispatches from Ger
many say it is reported that in the next
session of the Reichstag motion viii
be introduced for the reduction of duty
on grain by about six cents. A rise in
duty paid in foreign markets would
lower the price paid the farmer here,
and reduction should have the con-
trary effect

The Republicans at Corvallis wanted
to get up big boom there last Satur-
