PARTY REVOLT IN OREGON.
From the New York Times.

The long struggle over the Sena-
torship now going on in Oregon
illustrates the laxity of party
discipline. 1t may be said that
it also illustrates the persistency
ofa certain class of politicians. The
Republicans have a fair working
ing majority in the Oregon Legisla-
ture on jSipt ballot, and it would be
well-nlgh impossible for any com
bination to be effected for the cleo
tion ofa Democrat. AT a p1elimin-
arY eamcus of a majority of the Re
publican members of the Legislature
ex-senator John III. Mitchell, was
declared the nominee of the party.
This result was not reached until
after a sharp struggle; and to the
credit of several of the Republican
members, it may be added, there
was an instant reputation of the
nomination by members ofthe party
Who declared that the caucus nom.
inee was unfit to be returned to the
Senate.
The more Independent OF the Ore
gen Republicans refused to abide by
the decision o. the caucus. In many
quarters this act would be sstreason-
able" and would forever bar from
party communion the men who
belted.. 1t is not known. what pun
ishment will be visited upon Repub-
licans who decline to support tor the
United States Senate man whose
very candidacy they deem disgrace

New York, Oct. 15.-The Commercial
Advertiser says: It is time the American
people understood the issue passed upon in
Ohio. The aggressions of the larger beer
and whisky party must be met by the con-
scientious, moral and intelligent friends of
good government, just as they met the ag-
gressions of the slave power. We do not
favor making the republican party tenn
perance party. The republican party in
days past was not an abolition but con-
servative slavery party. respecting the
rights of the south within the law. The
republicans must meet this rum question as
they met the demon of the south. The
question of regulating the sale, of intoxica-
ting drinks is fast becoming national ques-
tion. The people of the south are making
it a prominent issue. In most states south
of the Potomac temperance organizations
are springing into existence, much after the
manner the anti-slavery societies were be-
ing organized forty years ago in the north.
We realize that intellectual and well mean
ing men will differ in regard to the details
of the law for the remedy of an evil or the
enforcement Of any right. Realizing this,

TEE SHOWS AND HuMBues.

For the last severel days our town
has been mumerously visited by quite
. number of catch pennies and hum
bugs, styling themselves shows, en-
sertaiments, &c. About the only
prominent thing which they are
capable of accomplishing is to get
the peoples money and then most
successfully bunbug them by not
giving anything in return. Our peo-
pie as q class are liberal in patroniz-
ing what ever comes along in the
way OF respectable amusements and
fer this reason they are the more sue
sessfuily hugsbuged. During the last
year osSown has been inflicted, it
seemsaike,~ more than ever before
with such class of people who evil
IDENTIFY are too cowardly TO steal and
too lazysto work and as a next resort
to ESCAPE starvation and blk the
public, they secure lot of old ragged
clothes and some two bit costumes
and start In the show business. The
Willamette valley people certainly
possess gentle disposition and much
respect for themselves or they would
certainly at some time when the usu-
III BLK Of show comes along, loose
their temper and administer to some
departing troup a dose of genuine
rotten eggs, or ride them on rail.
It 10 true that such an infiction
would be a disgrace for any people
to administer, but some people loose
self CONTROL after being successive
victims of repeated humbugs. We
are glad to know that the people of
Oregon possess that high degree of
intellect which enables them to suffer
such impositions and also CONTROL
their good temper. If the several in
corporated towns in Oregon would
daal with lot of these travelling vag-
abonds by furnishing them under the
vagrant act, which is usually incor-
porated in the laws of our towns, it
would have a tendancy 10 make'a
less number of such humbugs and
greater. numder of worthy entertain
ments

Washington, Oct 16.-October returns
of the yield per acre of wheat estimated
from the results of threshing foreshadows a
| product slightly exceeding five hundred
million bushels, and possibly exceeding
$40, 200, 600. The average Weld per acre
appears to be nearly fourteen bushels on an
acreage of slightly less than thirty-seven
million acres
| There is reduction of area in the spring
wheat region and large yield in the great
| winter wheat growing belt of the west.
Taking the highest figures indicated by
these returns of yield, distribution and pro-
| duction, gives two hundred and forty-eight
million bushels or nearly half the crop in
| the United States to the six principal winter
| wheat states. Ohio, Michigan, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri and Kansas. The spring
| wheat of the northwest may make liz, co.,
600 bushels. The Pacific coast crop, which
| has been persistently exaggerated in COM
mercial estimates cannot much exceed A.
| 600, 600 bushels. The middle states have
produced about 40, 00O, 600 bushels, and the
| southern states slightly in excess of fifty
| million.

| Chicago, Oct. 17.-Ex-Rev. George o.
| Min, formerly a well known pastor in
! Brooklyn, and more recently successor to
Robert Collier as pastor of Unity church,
| Chicago, made his debut as Hamlet at the
| Grand Opera House this evening, before a
cultivated audience physically m measured by
the capacity of the house. His somewhat
sudden transit from the pulpit to the stage
engendered many partisan antagonisms and
| friendships, and predictions of success and
| failure were about equally distributed.
When Min first appeared he was absolutely
self-possessed and acted with the ease of one
| TO the manor born. The entire audience
applauded demonstratiYely, and after each
| scene he was recalled. The general verdict
is that his Hamlet is distinct individual
Iimpersonation. Towart the last appaGeatIy
encouraged by the cordial reception he over
taxed his voice and showed slight ten-
dency to rant. Aside from this, his rendi

to the Oregon Republican party.
They should have voted for him,
according to strict party rules, al
though his reputation were spotted
all over, and his various aliases were
numerous and confusing as to his
identity. But the action OF these
wayward members Of the party has
undoubtedly defeated Mitchell.
Public opinion was largely against
Mitchell, 80 that he was forced to
resort to the usual expedient of
printing a campaign paper of his
own, pending the Senatorial election,
as no Republican newspaper was
willing TO advocate his election.
That variety of disahectlou which is
known as "treason" has widely ram.
fled throughout the Oregon Repub-
lican party. In desperate cas- es.
Mitchell and his friends secured @
few votes from the Democrats, but
not enough to make his election sure.
1t is nice question in political
ethics if a bargain by which candi-
date procures support from an OPP
posing political party does not
absolye those of his own party who
have been pledged to him. ffitchell
was ready to do anything 10 draw
to himself Democratic votes enough
to insure his election. But he un-
doubtedly urged that for Republi-
can to refuse 10 vote for him was to
commit an act Of party treachery
which could only be fifty punished
by casting the offender forth into
outer darkness.
Whatever may have been the
motives of the boilers, they. were
sufficient in number TO prevent an
election, and there has never been
Democratic reinforcement big
enough to elect Mitchell. In this
embarrassing state of things, the
name of a compromise candidate has
just been suggested. 1t is evident
that Mitchell cannot be elected. The
boiling Republicans have solemnly
vowed that no power on earth will
force them to vote for him. The
most promising of the newly named
candidates is Mr.. Richard Williams,
who was a Representative in Con-
gress from Oregon in .the forty-ffih-
Congress, serving from 1877 to 1879.
Mr.. Williams is lawyer of repute,
and was elected over Lafayette Lane,
Democrat, by small majority.
Should he be chosen to the Senate in
place of the regular caucus nominee,
his election will be a thing almost
unprecedented. It will be one of
the few triumphs which party indie
pendence have gained over tyranous
party discipline. In any event Ore
gon may be congratulated on its es-
cape from being unworthily repre-
sented in the United States Senate.

xHK pREsENT ADMINISTRATION RULED BY
ssBoSSISM.'

It seems that Arthur was not salts
fed with the disgracefnl scene which
occurred little more than year ago
atthe New York legislature, in which
he stepped down from his position of
President of the United States Sen
ate, to assist in manipulating the
Conkling machine politics of New
York, the disgraceful performance
which resulted to bring about the
sad death of PRESIDENT Garfield of
which Mr.. Arthur feigned great sor-
row at the time. Recently, however,
in the late republican nominations
for that state it appears that he has
prostituted his present high position
By lending the influence of the pres
snt administration to interfere in be-
half Of the Republican politics of
that state in the interest of Mr..
Conking's machine politics. The
late nominations there were not the
choice ofthe republicans of that state
but were made by Conkling's ihench-
men, assisted by Arthur's influence
to effect it. It would seem to any
onefof commen sense that an acciden-
tai official like Arthur, who owes bis
position TO the assassins deadly aim.
would not put on SO much style re-
garding party nominations in the
states. Explanatory of his course.
however, it must be understood that
Arthur belongs to the 'sBoss' system
of politics, Mr.. Conkling is his
"Boss." Mr.. Arthur owes his public
career to such "Bess." He was NOM
mated vice. president because Boss"
Grant and "Boss" Conkling had been
unsuccessful in the convention which
nominated him. and it became neces-
sary in order to keep Mr.. Copkling
from assisting to defeat the ticket, as
he did not.get Grant nominated, to
do the next thing by putting on one
OF hlsl henchmen for vice-president,
and that henchman was Mr.. Arthur.
After the presidential election was
over and s'Boss" Conkling found that
he could not use Mr.. Garfield as a
henchman it became necessary to
Kill hisinfuence. Hence he resigned
his position as a. S. Senator and
went about the dIsgraceful Opera
tion before the New York legislation
IN order to secure his reelection,
warmly and earnestly assisted by
Mr.. Arthur. They. failed, however,
in their original efforts to kill Gar
fields Enthusiastically failed-as
his influence constantly grew strong
er every day, and bis influence is yet
gaining. The efforts Of MIR. Conk--

BLAINE's late utterances against
the dragnet coalitions which have
been encouraged by the admins
tration in the Southern States
have had the effect to throw the
Malone repudiator crowd into
cold perspiration. The Star route
organs in Washington and else
where are lifting up their voices
in a nervous chorus and calling
the Maine statesman a Bourbon,
while the orators who take their
opinions at second hand from the
Virginia boss are urging their
followers to stand to the repudi4-
tion guns under the terrible threat
that they will lose the post offices
If they don't. In the meantime
the disheartened Straightouts are
taking hearts now that they have
a champion of commanding ability

pose to make it hot tor the Read
juster crowd. And the prospects
are very good that Mahoneism
will be allowed a permanent va
cation.
