AN lGsoRAST MINISTER.

II We arc TO Judge the Democratic party ol The State

largely twould that Il No longer has may distinct
I've policy We think Il should have put several of ts
resolutions within quotation marks at least that peo.
plc might know1hey were borrowed for the occasion
This wo clip from Rev. Acton's paper
the Polnfs. We might also quote
from that paper another sentence which
appears in tho same issue---"Of all fools
in this world IL appears to us the rolig-
ious fool is tho worst Rev. Acton
has devoted bis time 10 exclusively to
religion that he cannot talk with any
more sense upon political subjects than
he does in tho selection above. To 500
what an ass he makes Of himself, read
the Democratic platform. II cannot be
that we have stolen the 2nd or 3rd res.
olutions, for the Republican party
owes its existence today to class
Legislation.
II would not look well for tho Dem
ocratic party to put the 4th plank in
quotation. The Republicans brought
that terrible curse OF protection into OK.
istenco, aud we certainly are not tress
passing when wo declare ourselves op.
posed to that doctrine.
The 9Th plank condemns Arthur ior
vetoing the Chinese bill. This, too, il
all right. Very little Republican lum
bor is used in getting out this plank
Agitation against Chinese immigration
in Oregon was first commenced by the
Democracy, and tho frat official move
nent made against this great evil was
voted against by mono but tepnbli'
cans.
Acton probably thinks We ought te
quote the 9th resolution, or rather The
6rst clause of il. Garfield was ProsiienI
OF the United States, and not Of The 10
publican party alone.
Tho only plank the Republicans cat
claim is the 9TH and il has been used gc
long by thom, aud it's precopts not livet
ap to, that they ought not to growl !
we slip ii into our platform.
The sth plank Mr. Acton cannot say
is not Democratic, for Republican law
have caused us to be nation without
SHIPS.
Upon the remaining resolution
there is not much difference Of opinion
but the Republicans cannot claim tlioH
exclusively.

rolurlt,AL ORPHAN.

One thing is true Of Republicans, and
we admire it. When they are bed-rid-
den they know It. just enough of o
humhug suits them. And when pushed
TO the corner by the aforesaid humbug
they resist with the same offensive spir-
1t that is manifested by drove Of hogs
when a strange shoat gets into the
band--out he must go, dead or alive.
Among thcir self-made candidates for
Governor was ono Davo Thompson Ho
has hung on to the Republican party as
tho party of contracts liko leseh.
This is not David who put Uriah in the
front of the battle to be killed, but
like bis namesalSe, he is valiant, and
would make hay at any Time whether
the sun shon0 or not, regardless OF
cost. David conceived the idea Of be-
ing Governor, grand financial scheme.
lie claimed il because he was an inves-
tigator in 1878. As such investigator
he had that poor old soul, John Ross,
investigate himself. Now John was a
Brigadier-G General under Gov. Grover
in the Modoc war, and by virtue Of that
Office signed his name to the correct
ness of the documents and ran the con.
Germ generally. But David had an Oye
to business, so he got up report for
peor old John to sign and he signedi II,
stating that the officers in that war had
defrauded tho State out of over Sl0,,
( 900. This made it impossible TO get re-
lief at Washington, and the State sua'
cred disgrace and delay in her de-
mands upon the government. Two
years thereafter Republican legisla-
ture wanted 10 know of the Secretary
Of State what all this meant. His an
swsr led to an investigation Of David'i
report, and it was found TO be false
hood and so denounced by said Repub
lican legislature. Neither David mol
Ross ever replied 10 the exposure. Peo
pie believed then and are convinced
now that David did that trick TO dis
credit modoc war bonds so that be could
buy them up at a discount. David
acknowledgment under oath that h'
made 81 900 as a stra w-bidder, under
a disreputable scheme that would make
Dorsey or Brady blush, was freGh in
the minds of Republicans. His reputa
ton for mail contracts, surveying con
tracts, street contracts, etc, etc.-sl
tended to render hts unftness for po'
litical position more glariLg. 1t was
horrifying to Republicans to think h
had cheek enough to ask to bs consign
to an ignominioua death and make the
party mourners. So they passed hin
as a waif they could not support. How
very pitiful is this delectable and most
undutiful Republican orphan. The,

THE nomination of Rev. T. J. Viii
son fer the Senate by the Republican
party has kicked up terrible rumpus.
j. B. Irvine was the candidate selected
almost by common consent the day be-
fore the Convention. He claims that
his friends made diligent inquiry just
before the Convention was called Co or
der to see if he would have any opposi :
tlon, but none could be found. Rev.
Wilson was then sprung on him in the
Convention and was nominated. The
latter says he authorized no one to use
his name in connection with the nemi-
nation for the Senate, and did not know
he was to be run. But the result is the
same-IrVine was beaten after the nem-
inatien had been promised him by those
inhis party who could have given it to
him. Such lying as this will produce
dissatisfaction in any party.

We understand that Rev. T. J. Viii
son. Republican candidate for the State
Senate, will not be here during the
canvas as he starts on trip to the
East in few days. An effort is being
made to have him withdraw from the
ticket Why is it that this party, which
claims to be ga party of moral ideas and
advanced political intelligence" always
try to horn such man as Rev. Wilson
off the political track. They want TIE
name of being moral, but they do not
want candidates who represent that class
of society to positive degree. They
never consider themselves well fixed
until they get a platform in favor of a
prohibitory liquor law, and put upon it
a lot of candidates, half of whom will

ARTHUR ANDTuR CHINESE MINISTER.

1t is a fact that the Chinese minister
dictated Arthurs veto message. Arthur
says 80 and gives the memorandum
that the Chinese minister furnished
him, and from which he constructed his
message. Every point in that momor-
andum is in the veto message, and
when the Chinese minister requested
President Arthur to hand in his mem
orandum with the veto message. Ar
thur did 30 and stated that he did it by
request of the Chinese minister. We
have two leaders of the Republican
sentiment on this question as profnul-
gated in the east. OF the two advo.
cates-Arthur and the Chinese minis.
ter-the latter is the better of the
two. Are we not proud as Americans
that we have such an auxiliary as the
Chinese minister. He can dictate tc
our President, construct his veto mes
sage, and get away with the best of the
bargain. That Chinese minister
should be put bodily into the next Re
Publican national platform. There is nc
two to one that he does not construct
it himself. Every man who tolls, having
the right to vote, should not fail to de
posit his vote for the Democratic party.
It is the only salvation for these Paei
fc States, politically, socially aud com.
mercially.

REPUBLICAN sUPPORT.

The late Republican State Conven-
tion put forth platform that should
drive the Oregonian from the support
Of the Republican ticket. If the issue
is made on high protective tariff,
which the Republican platform advo-
Gates, how can the free trade Oregoaian
support that platform, But it does
support it, and will labor nevertheless
to elect the entire Republican ticket.
This is another evidence that the
Oregoniae is devoid of principle. It
has no character for sound Judgment
or frmness in principle, and never had.
Of all the newspapers in Oregon the
OregoniGn is the least respected among
the masses. 1t cannot influence fifty
votes in the State outside of It's en-
ployees. To be true to its instincts,
however faithIess, it is said that the
editor in chief will go away and remain
abroad until after the election, as he
claims to be neither Republican nor
Democrat. This is the leading so-called
Republican journal. Democrats would
understand it, and if the convictions of
the editor are not to control its columns
or principle, then money must. And
the editor going away shows the
object, but not the exact prico of it.
Let the cat out, even though it sits on
the bag.
