The days Uf the Legislature orc
numbered and Friday night at twelve
Jclock will vlose tlia scenes we now
witness. Every Republican polite.
ian In the, Suite OF any note riety, Is
reliable or unrelabl Is here. Here
we have The converted and tho un-
converted. If tho Republican purity
IL represented by the friends and enc
mics Of Mitchell in this Senatorial
contest---if these hcllIgerentsouls are
the cream Of the "grand old Repub-
lIcan party" tho party OF so much
purity and inorality,as no doubt
they are,-then should tho Demscra
cy rejoice ever its own plain, honest
and unpretendlug character. How
Is Il tho Republican party In this
State can ebtain victory aiter victory
and make no better showing IN her
polItlcIanel They are Ia fictiOns
with the instinct OF wildcats. f'hey
prey upon ono another and scruple
not 10 tho most questionable practices
10 carry their end. Falthiess ~ each
other, 10 their party Organization and
caucus rules, what holds them togelb-
or but the spolls ? And pledges that
bind like ropes tl sand are their
badges 0f membership. II Il 10 this
moral party that the State II indebted
for NIL impurities In our political
system. Commencing with The dis
graceful election of Baker and coming
down since through every. election
In Portland and We have Republic
can record to M early political death.
Every art and device were used to
corrupt tho voicr, and the boldness
" ith which they were carried ON WAS
only surpassed by criminals who did
the work. And these criminals are
now held up as men. Many OF our
pure, satanicaly. so.called Republican
politicians are the leaders from this
early criminal brigade. This 1, the
party that wants Il u. s. Senator
elected. And 10 make It's point, IL
sends here tho slmon-pure materla
out OF wihch this Senator Is 10 b
made. Is II u wonder that honest men
must take backs scat at this feast?
Among these Republican fictions
there Il not ono that can elect Sen
ator, hence there will be no Republi-
can Senator elected. The largest
faction has the party ut It's back, and
never will tic majority give up TO
the minority. They viii anlagonize
and die In their stubbornuess. These
things arc evidences OF the roitenness
Of that party. These manifestations
more than ever are VISIBLE AL over
the United States IN the Republican
ranks. This has led the way for the
November States 20 follow in Demo
cratic maJ0riiIes. Tho mex, Presi-
dent will b. a Democrat. This war
among tho Republican factions will
give Pennsylvania TO the democracy.
II had mere 10 do with II inOhio than
she gc;s credit fJr. And the same
thing will reach New York and Call
fornia. There are Republicans that
will not follow their leaders when
their principles have left them, and
they became so bent on place md
power that the means usel 10 obtain
them would be honorable 10 foot papi
In hIs graRdest iiis OF desperation.
rhc democracy has nothing to do but
rc:naia solid aud united, and victory
will come once more TO the ouiy Ia
iIonel party under our government.
The Legislature will pass bat few
hills compared with tho naay lDtro-
duced. II was agreed, DAY or two
since, that ench member should ~.
lect his flSorite bill and hive Il pass.
The insane asylum bill no doub;, will
becsmc law. Another. hiil ,niso per.
milling the present keeper OF the in
sane 10 keep the patients until the
Asylum builiing Is completed. This
will b. until the next Legislature
meets, no doubt. IL Is u question
whether the Insane business Is not
10 this State To keep these patients
will bc much greater under the new
management than the old. IL should
not be tho ease, but Il will, there Is
no question about Ii. The State
should keep her insane under her
immediate care and should, at the
same time, use the greatest economy
In tho management. We do not say
that this large expense will bo nee
essarily the fault OF officers, who will
te numerous, with the employees, but
it will DO more the result OF the
plan and law. Time will demon.
strato this prediction.
Many merltorious laws will be
thrown overheard and at This time
IL Is not possible 10 give all the bills
that will pass. When the adjourn.
msnt Games this'may be done.
Among the distinguished visitors
on the floors of the Houses, wa not-
Iced Gov. Newell OF Washington
Territory.
The bill 10 lease convic. labor viii
become law.
