The Lilliputian Dude that runs the
Standard land claims to be Demo
crat but isn't, in Wednesdays issue
calls us a liar and nigger ard says we
have wool in our teeth. We admit we
have as much wool in our teeth as the
poor little dude editor has on its head,
but will not resort to the same practice
that it did to scold it off. When driven
to the extreme CT calling liar and bigger
at the distance Of two hundred niles,
it is easy to determine the merits of
the controversy. 1t is not our fault
that the Standard IS owned and con
trolled BY Republican, but it should
not attempt to sail under false colors
and then turn sonersaults on all poiit-
ical questions whenever its boss pulls
the puppet strings. It makes the poor
little dude editor look like the organ
grinders monkey, exhibiting himself on
the adjoining lamp post.

Gen. VIM. T. Sherman.

By the act of Congress fixing the age
at 60 for the retirement Of the officers
of the army from active service on
half pay for the remainder of their
days, Gen. Sherman retires and Gen.
Phil Sheridan succeeds him as General
Of the armies Sheridan is still q
young man and with his iron constitu-
ton bids fair to hold the position for
many years. Gen. Shermanis we'll pre-
served and in case of war would be able
to render his country good service ir
the field. He is known to be ambitious
and as he has for years been spoken Of
as probable candidate for President,
now that he is relieved from military
cares may tarn;sh the luster of his mil
itary career in the cesspool Of politics.
The strait to which the Republican
party are driven by the loss of Ohio,
will in all probability cause many Of
the leaders to seek to hide the iniqui-
ties Of their party behind the Generals
personal popularity, and with his known
ambition and Othello's occupation gone,
ne may yet be tempted by the glamour
of the Presidency and befors
many months become a live can
didate for the nomination.
He, like all other great generals who
have won their triumphs on the field ol
battle. where their command Is absolute
law are unsuited to rule in republic
where the ruler and the people are up
on the same level plane of equality.
Were it possible for him to reach the
Presidency his past record would neces-
sarily suffer from the contempt into
which his administration would fall,
no less than has that of Gen. Grant, by
his failures as civil ruler

The November Elections.

OF the numerous States which held
elections on last Tuesday we are una
ble to give any satisfactory statement,
for the reason that the returns come in
30 slow.
In Massachusetts, Butler is defeated
by small majority. The vote was the
largest ever polled in the State, there
being nearly $4,000 more votes cast
than at the election one year ago. The
result can indicate but little or no slg-
nifcance. The fight was personal
contest between Butler and the blue
bloods Of the old commonwealth,
against whose aristocratic habits and
customs Butler had waged relentless
war.
In Virginia Mahoneian received its
death blow and the Old Dominion is
again Democratic by an overwhelming
majority.
In New York the State officers elect
ed are Secretary of State, Attorney
General and State Treasurer Dennis
O'Brlen, the Democratic candidate for
Attorney General and Maxwell, State
Treasurer, are both elected by hand
some majOrities Maynard, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Secretary of State,
is beaten by Carr, the Republican can
di late, for whom the liquor dealers and
saloon men made special fight in tie
cities Of New York, Rochester and
Buffalo.
Pennsvlvania is claimed to have gone
Republican by about 10000.
In Maryland, Mclean, tho Demo
cratic candidate fer Governor, and the
entire Democratic ticket is elected by s
large majority.
In Mississippi the regular Demo
cratic ticket met with but little oppo
sition.
In Minnesota Hubbard is reelected
Governor and the balance of the Re
publican ticket by reduced majority
New Jersey Is Democratic by an in
creased majority. While in mos
States the issues we're principally loca
0nd lacked any thing of 8 naticna
character, the result is satisfactory ant
encouraging to the Democracy. Th
vote in the Empire State of New Yorl
vas unusually heavy and the Democ-
rAcy have more than held their own
Tho election Of O'Brien and Maxwell
takes it out Of the category Of
doubtful State and assures tn
Dem Ocracy the Presidency in 1884
while in the south and west the Dem
ocracv have made about the same per
eentage of gain shown in the Ohio ele'
tiOn.

The Wool Question.

The Oregonian, following the lead of
the Standard, is trying to make its
readers believe that the double dealing
Of Congress with tie wool question has
nothing TO do with the price the pro-
ducsrs are receiving for their wool It
might as well try to make the consumer
believe that the increase of tariff on the
manufactured goods has nothing to do
with the merchant charging him two
dollars and half for twenty cents
worth of wool wove into an undershirt,
as to tell the farmer that the reduction
of the tariff on wool has nothing to do
with the reduced price he gets for his
wool. The protection farmer gets
from discriminating tariff is such as
the wolf meets out to lambs.
The Douglas independent. [volume] (Roseburg, Or.) 187?-1885, 1883-11-10

THE Republican press generally and
the Oregonian in particular, have been
busily engaged ever since the result of
the Ohio election became known, in
framing excuses for the Republicans
losing the State. The latest reason is
a novel one, in the form Of a commu-
nication, in which their loss is attrib-
uted to President Arthur The cores
pondent says that just before the cleo
tion it WAS circulated that In the event
of their carrying Ohio combination
was formed between Arthur and Char
ly Foster by which Foster was to go on
the Presidential ticket with Arthur,
and that Garfeld's friends, all of whom
had been kicked out of Office by the
administration, failed to enthuse, wish
ing rather to see the Democrats carry
the State than such agreement carried
out. If this be true, o ye loayes and
little fishes.

Watterson on the South.

The popular feature of the bankers
association gathering at Louisville,
KY, last week, was Henry Watterson's
address. In his little speech last week
he spoke Of the South, of It's condition
''befo' de wah, after the "wah," and Of
the present promising outlook. He
said:
The South; the South; it is no prob
lem at all. thank God that at last
vs can say with truth it is simply q
geographical expression. The whole
story of the South may be summed up
In the sentence: "She was rich and
she lost her riches; she was poor and
In bondage; she was set free and she
bad to 60 to work; she went to work
sRd IL richer than ever before" You
ZEE Il was ground hog case. So it
was here; the climate was here, but
along with it was the curse-ths curse
Of slavery. God passed rod along
the land and smote the people. Then,
In His goodness and mercy, He waved
the wand Of enchantment, aad 10, like
q flower, His blessing burst forth.
The South never knew what independ-
anee meant until she was taught sut.-
iection-te subdue herself. We lived
from hand to rnouth-we had our
debts and our ''niggers." Under the
old system we paid our debts and wal.
Ieped the "niggsrs." Under the new
we pay our "niggers" and wallop our
debtS
