RULE OR RUIN,

The next campaign in this State
promises to be not only an exciting but
q very important one. 1t is rather ear.
ly to commence a discussion of the is.
sues which will then be presented, but
1t is none too early to say that the PEG,
pie of this State are tired of machine
politics and politicians. It is not too
soon to say at tlIis time that with pol.
itics as trade and politicians whose
profession is Office seeking the people
are disguised. 1t is already rumored
that the slate has been made up for
the chief officers of the State govern
ment and that in many localities the
other officers have been selected BY
those who ruh the "maclline." We
don't know that this is true, bat if it is
30. 1t is none too soon to let the peo.
pie know it, in order that they may be
prepared to "set down on" any further
attempt to control our Stats and local
governments for selfish purposes
The people of the State demand the
selection of some such man as Cover
nor Nichols, Fred Ogden or other pa
triotic men of that stamp, for the next
Governor OF this State and they will
not submit to any attempt by the ma
chine to foist upon them any man
whose only recommendation may be
shat he "runs with the machine"
We have had too much of that al.
ready and the temper of the people
who do the voting is not to be trifed
with any longer. The sooner we re-
turn In this State to the old time meth.
cd OF recurring fitness for place and
qualifications of capacity, standing and
ability in ofice-bolders, the better it
will be for all concerned.

friends does not deter them from re-.
|jecting his proffered counsel. Such
marks Of disinterested aud unselfish
Friendship makes them think better Of
the cold and unfecling world in which
they live, and goes long way in re-
deeming it from the reproaci OF tu-
feeling and selfish disregard Of those
amenities which make life valuable
and living source Of pleasure and a
means Of profit.
The Editor whose "tohe" does not
suit "Greenhorn;" and whom he is an:
xious should be retired by the "boys,"
feels under some obligation to linn for
the evident display Of his particular
good will, and as it is apparent that he
is onl y DESTROYS of looking after the
best interest of the "boys" and is by
no means actuated by any desire to get
the Editor ont of the way of any body,
the latter does not feel at all hurt at
his attempted interference in the inter-
nal affairs Of this paper. The motive
is so pure and good that it excuses in
this instance, what might otherwise he
considered rather i'm hertihent inter.
fereDce with matters that do not con.
Germ him. The Editor advises "Green
horn" not to read the DEMOCRAT if it
does not s"it him. His right Is criti-
else the editorial articles that appear
in the paper is fully Recognized and is
accorded without question, but the
Editor himself is not on trial.
As "Greenhotn" is not in aecor. with
either the Express or DEMooRAT, and
az Ve the People is out of the question.
perhaps the best thing he could do
would be to start another paper.-|
There is plehty Of r5orii and it Is pity |
that he and the other wonders" can |
not have an organ of theirown. When
the "weeding" starts an organ will be |
one of the necessities of the situation.
We are sorry that We have prior en-
With the i;oters of the Demo-
cratic parry, or We would tender the
DEMOCRAT to the so-called lsadets for
their exclusive benefit. As it is, We
can OILY express our regret that there
should be such ali aching void, and
our sorrow that we cannot supply the
want OF q democratic party Organ &C.
;ordins to their standard.

AFTER THE STORM "A CALM,

Unpublished frotn our issn5 Of Aifes 23l
fhe political atmosphere which here:
abouts was a short while ago rather
disturbed has become all serene since
the election and perfect quiet reigns
once more. To the quiet observer Of
passing events the short campaign for
the selection of a Judge has clearly
demonstrated several things worthy Of
remark.
That there is dissatisfaction existing
in the ranks of those who have been
tried and who were always in the past
true to party methods and loyal to
party principles is not to be denied.
Some of the best men in the country
voted the Independent ticket. This
is partly to be explained by the fact
that many of them thought the issue
was not political in it's character, but
that does not account for all of the dis
satisfaction. There was a widespread
criticism of conventions as means of
defeating the popular choice and it be-
hooves the Democratic party when it
inaugurates another campaign to be
prudent ih Its choice of candidates.
The primary election was without a
doubt q move in the right direction,
and as far as it may be practicable
hereafter it will be wise to adopt that
plan in succeeding elections. 1t is
perhaps the only way Of securing full
and entirely free expression of popular
sentiment and with ample time to give
the voters notice, there can be no OBJ
lection to it, that we can discover now.
The election has shown, too, that
tieither the white nor colored voters
are as ready to obey the dictates of
party leaders as they were wont to be
In the past. The time was, but is no
more, when they will vote blindly for
the par ty candidate, becanse he is the
party candidate. The voters are
claiming and exercising the right of
scrutiniting and discriminating. This
Is really healthy sign, as 1t shows an
elevated public sentiment, and no harm
can come to the Democratic party from
Its full development, if it is wise
enough to select only its best men for
public positions.
One who chooses to look below the
surface of things might see in the his
tory of this last campaign, also an
illustration of tendency to the disinte-
grafton of parties which has been
threatened for years past and which
follows, perhaps necessarily, from the
want Of opposition. Tie Democratic
party, with its State and National or.
CARNATIONS and the record of which its
followers have just reason to be proud,
must Of necessity and will be the strong I
patty and If it displays common pru.
dence it will iii the future, az it has in 9
the past, be successful over all com. |.
petitors, but there are in tile signs of
the times enough of warning to bid it q
be on it's guard and to be careful IN Z
the selection of it's standard bearers .
when it next seeks the endorsements Of
the people. a

The last cause of Our offending "a an
editorial since the election from which
"Green Horn" quotes quite literally,
and thereby furnishes to the readers of
the E1press some of the best reading
matter We have seen in that journal
for some time. We have nothing to
apologize for and no excuses to make
for that article; in proof of which and
in order that it may appear side by
side with this, we republish it entire
with the distinct reiteration of all il
says. That all that is therein said az
to dissatisfaction existing is strictly
and literally true, we cite the unani.

the independent candidate for Judge
at the election on the 10Th of August.

is the divided boz at Boreland's which
has always been solid since 1868; the
votes polled in Alexandria and Pine

bill boxes which have always been

pause to AJAX what this means, but can

We learn from what can only be
considered the best authority, says the
Walla Walla journal, that under the
orders of MIR. Willard, one new steamer
is being outftted, and two others are
being repaired for service in the IN
terest of the o. R. & n. C3. on the
upper waters OF the Columbia. 1t Is
said that one will navigate above
Priest Rapids, another will work above
Kettle Falls and third will navigate
the tributaries. The immense mining
and timber regions of the Upper Co.
lumbia are at last attracting the atten-
tien OF practical capitalists.

A Specimen.

Yesterdays Oregonian says: A
guardians sale Of real estate, covering
53,263 acres, is advertised in Grant
county. This lands belong to an es-
tate to which they came through The
Dales military road land grant. The
sale, as advertised, embraces only the
listed and surveyed portions. The
unlisted and unsurveyed lands belong
ing TO the grant in the same county
are estimated at 10000 acres. This
is one Of those proaiga,e grants made
by congress for which the public has
received no equivalent, nor ever will.
Oregon is suffering from half dozen
huge jobs of this kind, which have ab-
sorbed in the aggregate millions of
acres, but from which not the slightest
benefit has ever been received by gov
ernnent or people.

Guiteau's Opinion.

A Washington dispatch says:
When Guiteau arrived at the Jail
after the verdict, his pale, haggard
face indicated great depression,
mingled with anxiety and fear.
The Jail officials remarked that he
was more depressed than at any
time since his arraignment. To
Warden Crocker he remarked:
"The verdict startled me, but I
was not surprised. Judge Cox's
charge was very fair one, with
single exception. He did not
dwell with sufficient force on the
recent decision of the New York
court of appeals. Had he done SO
the jury would have acquitted me.
Judge Porter's bitter speech had
too much impression on the jury.
/ saw the effect and hence was
somewhat prepared for the ver-
dict"
"Do you have any fears that you
will die on the scaffold," asked the
reporter.
81 am in the hands of the Lord, !"
replied the prisoner, "and l have
no spprehensions. Life is but a
span. tits appointed to all men
once to die, and no man will die
before his appointed time. No
man can say to-day that he will be
alive tomorrow"
Guiteau expressed the hope that
the court would grant him a new
trial. He believed he would have
the assistance of prominent Bal
timore lawyer and the question of
jurisdiction would come up.
After the trial Judge Cox was
asked if he was surprised that the
Jury returned a verdict so soon.
He said he could not say he was.
The jury was an intelligent one
and the case had been too plainly
stated for them to do otherwise.
The inordinate vanity of the pris-
oner had led to this result. He
would not say what he thought Of
the prospect of new trial.

Garfield" and when told of his death
the next remark is one consigning his
assassin to eternal perdition.

Eeartless villainy.

In an account of the bigamy and
desertion case to which we gave publi-
city few days ago. the Standard says
that at respectable boarding house
IN Portland, Mr.. James A. Lawrence
and wife formed the acquaintance of
Miss Nellie Sloan, a modest appear
ing girl of 10 years, daughter of ex-
police Captain Sloan, who was living
there. About year ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Lawrence began housekeeping
and took Miss Sloan with them to
board. Secretly Mr. Lawrence made
love to the young boarder, and on the
10th inst. married her at Astoria, TAX
ing steamer Immediately for San Fran
cisco. In order to quiet suspicion and
give themselves ample time to escape,
Miss Sloan pretended she was going to
Salem, but instead went to Astoria
and registered under the name of Miss
Miller, and Mr.. Lawrence told his
confding wife that he had to make a
trip to San Francisco for his employ
ers, but instead got off the State of
California at Astoria, registered at the
Occident hotel as P. F. Squires and
was married under that name to Miss
Sloan-who gave her right name-by
Rev. J. V. Milligan, in time to take
the same steamer for San Francisco.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence came to Port
land about three years ago, and formed
the acquaintance of large circle and
were universally liked. At first MIR.
Lawrence was employed as teacher
at the Bishop Scott Grammar School,
and may be recollected by many as
the organist at Trinity Church up to
six months ago, and at the time of his
elopement was employed as clerk in
the lighthouse department under Col.
Gillespie. In appearance he was short
and stout, but otherwise good looking
parting his hair in the middle. The
wife he leaves behind him is q lady of
much culture and refinement, and up
TO the time of his villainy lived hap
PLY with him, never suspecting him
of duplicity even after he had failed
to 60 to the Palace hotel as he said he
woald. On New Years day Mrs. Won
Bolton, of London, mother of the for
saken wIfe-who is now here visiting
her-presented her with $500 and
Lawrence took that with him, even
leaving his poor wife to pay for a
diamond ring which he presented to
Miss Sloan as token of engagement.
Miss Sloan also supplied herself with
So 900 which was in the bank in her
name, half of which being her fathers
the proceeds of the sale of piece
of property left by the late Mrs. Sloan,
the runaway's mother, Lawrence left
a few debts behind him, but his for
saken wife has made arrangements to
satisfy all creditors. Broken hearted,
and her home 'desolated by a wretch,
Mrs. Lawrence will soon leave with
her mother for her old home IN Eng
land. She is well rid of the wretch,
and We hope that the punishment of
her base husbands crime may soon
overtake him and be meted out with
no unsparing hand.
