NeaNsIsrENT.

It is very amusing TO observe how
the editor offhe ofegossian saneals
over the resultof the city election re-
Gently held in Portland. Advocating
as he does the principle of personal
independence in politics, and denonnc-
ing at all times in the strongest terms,
s'bossisnt'' and machine rule, no sooner
is an attempt made to carry into exc
cutiod his teachings than slTe-at' 'eRce
sets himself to work to show that the Re
publican party is in danger and that the
regular Republican nominees arc the
proper men to support. II will be re.
rnembered, that shortly after the regu'
lar Republican ticket was nominated
in Multnomah connt, a few independ'
ent Republicans, inspired, no doubt,
by the teachings of the able editor ol
the Orsgonian, assembled in eonyen
tion, and the result of their delibera
tions was ticket selected in great part
from the nominees of the Republican
and Democratic parties---men whom
they considered to 30 free from the IN
fluenee of ring rule and party bosses.
The 0rsgonian forthwith came to tbs
rescue of the Republican ticket. and
whilst it praised the motives which in
spired the bolters, it denied that they
had occasion to abandon the party ship
at that particular Iuncture, and lent
its influence to the election of the reg
ular ticket. 1t was supposed that the
result of the recent election in Multn
NAH county would forever put an end
TO boiling, but not so, rs witness th'
city election held in Portland just tive
weeks after the general election Al
the Oregoaiiaa of tie 23rd inst, sorrow
fully puts it, boiling "got grand hfi
in this city on Monday last. Good
seed had fallen upon fruitful soil, and
the harvest was immense. They who
had been accustomed to stickle fol
party regularity bolted en- masse. The
whole machine abandoned the regular
ticket, and supported irregular nomina
tions. It was highly gratifying TO find
among the boilers the ehairmanof the
Republican State Central committe
the secretary Of the said COMMITTEES
the chairman of the Republican county
committee, the postmaster of the city
the District Attorney, and all the sub
bosses, workers and whippers.in, whose

machine, was Hon. Sol Hirscl, the
present chairman OF the eleblican
State Central Committee. The Orego-
nian with fsrvor that would have
been comnendable in the strictest party
journal, denied that Mr.. Hirxch was
in any way connected with the mig,
endeayored to relate all charges brought
against him, and did all in its power
to elect him, and now in the short
space Of two weeks, such a caan4e has
come Ger the spirit Of brother Scott's
dreams, that thus same chairman of
