Coz CURRY, in his speech at Ba-
ker City last week, says the I,.1and
Umpire, charged the Democracy with
the horrors of Indian warfare in
Grant county because they reduced
the army. He made no allusion to
the soldiers kept in the Southern
States to overawe voters in a peacea-
bic county, thereby leaving an ex-
posed frontier State wholly defense
less. lie was equally careful to omit
any reference to GarfieId's record on
the Mo,loc war claims, when the peo-
pie Of another Eastern country were
threatened with extermination by a
lot of brutal savages.

DEMOCRATIC Rally!
HON. j. w. NESMITH
VIII speak at the COURT HOUSE, in
ALBAN Y,
SATURDAY, Oct. 23, 1880
At o'clock P. ".
EVERYBODY INVITED.
slltRf oF CIERks aNp snrRIfEs.

Senator Bilyeu, of linn, has secured
the passage through the Senate Of his
bill 20 salary the Offices of Clerks and
SherIffs. BY his able advocacy and
personal superintendence Of this bill he
secured its almost unanimous support
in the Senate. only four votes being
east against It, and those four being all
Republicans. The bill stands fair
chance of passing the House also, and
in case it should become law will ma
terially reduce the emoluments of these
Offices. The law is so framed as to take
effect the first of July, 1881, and pro
vides for salary of 81, 800 year for
Clerks and Sheriffs. All the fees are
also substantially reduced, and must be
paid into the county treasury. Depu-
ties are to be provided from time to
time by the County Court, which will
also fix their pay. We viii publish the
full text of the bill after its enactment,
and we compliment Senator Bilyeu on
his effective work thus far accom-
plished, trusting that the members of
the House from Linn viii push his bill
to an early consummation.
LATEE.-Thls bin passed the House
on Wednesday evening, and win no
doubt become law. Instead Of the
salary of Clerks and SheriG's being
fixed at 81 800, as.statel in our forego-
ing article, the salary of Clerk in Linn
is to be 81, 500 per apnuin, and that of
the Sheriff 81, 900 per annum.
This IS really the only measure of
merit that has passed the Legislature
so far, and We again compliment Sena-
tor BHyeu upon his success.
Thus to Democratic minority are
the people of the State indebted for an
enactment that will save the taxpayers
an immense sum Of money and relieve
politics of the incubus Of these SO
called paying Offices"
We understand that the incumbent
Clerks and Sherifs have made up
fund already to contest the constitu-
fqnality Of this enactment. and viii
use every effort. possible to render 1t
nnll 4ud void.

audience of the campaign. The crowd
was larger by one-third than that of
Williams, and although his speech was
over two hours long not single person
left the hall. In the evening he was
sercnaded and the young ladies of the

is doing gallant service for the cause,
