LOCAL ELECTIONS IN NGw YORK.

The New York Evening Post in
speaking of the late local elections in
that State where the Democrats seem
- have been about as successful as they
were last fall, says that the November
tidal wave has not wholly spent its force,
judging from the results of some local
elections in this State. Yesterday, in
Utica, the Democratic candidate for
mayor was elected by an increased vote.
The Oneida county board Of supervisors
Is Democratic by II msjority, and last
year 1t was Republican by two MAORI
ty. In Rochester the Democrats elect
their mayor and hold their own in the
board of supervisors. In Erie county
the Democrats have gained five towns
and the Republicans three, net gain of
two for the former. In Columbia couu-
II Il Democratic and two Republican
supervisors are chosen last year there
were eleven Democrats and eleven Re-
publicans. Upon the whole the results
Of sltese local elections, added to many
o.her signs, show that tie Republican
party will scarcely recover It's lost
ground by reaction, in which some of
its leaders have been trusting.

The following speech, delivered in n
fcow case" is SO full Of natural eloquenco
and unadulterated pointedness that we
give it local importance. With the in
crease Of our railroads and the number Of
bovines being constantly killed 1t will be
we'll to study this little speech up and use
it in your next case. II is bound to bring
a jury TO time:
s'Do you believe that a COW brought up
IN this country, as this COW was, with every
facility for knowing the character OF this

men, you will not AS well ask you TO
believe that a smiling Jehovah looks
down approvingIy, and bids the work

rushes headIong upon the dearest rights
of man, and clatters up the very gate OF

The Salem ,Statesaaaa, small local
daily sheet published at Salem, on the
Willamette river, twenty FIVE miles
north of Albany, now opens up bait
terv of one very small gun of the
pattern in use flfty years ago, upon the
State Treasurer, Mr.. ED" Hirsch,
because. forsooth, he, the treasurer, has
in the abundance Of his discretion, and
maturety of judgment and experience,
seen fit TO publish in the three Portland
daily papers the outstanding state war
rants now due and payable by the
State. This little daily paper with an
oleaginous facility peculiar to itself,
goes out of the way tive mean, stays in
its accustomed way TO say that "Ed. "
does this because he has no interest in
common with Salem enterprises. We
are gravely informed that there are two
dailies in Salem which might be used
by the treasurer, but we are informed
by "Ed's" friends, that Mr.. "Ed." "
Hirsch says that in publishing these
notices he conceives il TO be his duty to
carry out the interest and purposes of
the law by reaching the greatest num-
Der of persons who hold these warrants
hence we are informed that eel" be-
lieves that more persons can be reached
IA Salem by publishing these notices in
Portland than in the Statesman afore-
slid. Now, we think, eds excuse
il right and sufficient, and viii be ac-
cepted as such by all reasonable and
intelligent beings. OF course, ed"
should give this public patronage worth
at least $3.50 to Republican dailies
according to the great civil service
reform notions of the Statesman, but
the Statesman ought to know that ED.
Is "far-seeing, shrewd politician and
believes that he should put his patron
age where it would do most geod. II
might be well to say that If OdelI was
at the helm of the Statesman craft
these attacks would not be thus made
upon ed" for .sEl." and Ole!l ar,
both "4S' men and hence the best o.
political and personal friends.

THE PRESIDENTS rEEculsITEs.

While tho criticisms OF The New
York San arc not always OF tho most
unseltlsh kind, yet they often have
forco and appropriateness very pecu-
liar TO themselves. In speaking Of
tho extravagances in and around the
White House at Washington, 1. very
Justly says that II was tho established
practice until tho err of Grantlsm to
refurnish the Executive Mansion at
every new Presidential term. The
old and worn out furniture was sold,
and the money thus obtained was
added TO a moderate appropriation TO
buy whatever might be properly
needed TO equip the White House
afresh.
Gen. Grant brought ic practices of
extravaganza that had never been
previously known, and among them
was the habit of asking for money TO
rcfurnlsh and repair tho Executive
Mansion every year. He got the
contingent fund increased, and II Is
now eight thousand dollars added to
to the regular salary. Besides these
extras, he obtained often ten thousand
year for tho greenhouses.
For tho fiscal year of 1881, when
Garfield came Ia, Congress appropria-
ted for care and repairs and for
furniture of the Executive Mansion,
$50, 900. aud for fuel and greenhouses
800.
For tho fiscal year 1882 Congress
appropriated for care, repairs, and
furniture of the Executive Mansion,
$40, 900 /; for an elevator, $4,000, and
for fuel and greenhouses, $1,000.
For the fiscal year 1888 Congress
appropriated for care AMI repairs Il
the Executive Mansion, $50 900 foi
furniture, $50, 900, aud for fuel and
greenhouses, $1,000.
For the fiscal year 1884 II Is pre-
posed to appropriate for caro- and
repairs and furniture Of the Executive
Mansion. $25, 900, and for fuel and
greenhouses, $4,000.
| Everybody acquainted with the
subject knows that these appFopria-
tions have not been expended fol

was little changed, though tho money
was annually granted for II.

WARRING FACTIONS.

PROBABLY no factional fight in u po.
li.ical party in Oregon has ever been SO
bitter and unrelenting as The fight be-
tween the two factions Of the Republi-
can party in Marion county, which bee
gan at the last election in the State,
and is now being kept up with unabated
vigor. The lSsatssmaa, Under the edi-
torial management of "I,on" Gesner, is
making it truly and refreshingly tropie-
al for the stalwarts or Mitchell men,
while the courageous little Talk, with
answering fidelity, comes badly to the
front and fights valiantly in the cause
of betrayed and down-trodden stalwart-
ism in Marion county, Now all this
hub-bub grows out of tho loavos and
fishes, the spoils of office. 1t is fight
of the outs against tho ias. But the
contest now going on would have reoeiv-
ed no notice in these columns had the
matter not assumed the form in which
the public take an interest. No man
has used greater efforts to avoid being
drawa into this seething political maol-
strom than 'tRocky" Earhart, but un-
fortunately for him, no man with bis
supposed political ken would have been,
in many respects, so iniudicious and
imprudent as he has in has relations to
this fight A gentleman who under
stands tho inner workings and history
of this fight Says that neither party has
faith or confidence in "Rosky's" fidelity
and loyalty, as they say he has pledged
himself to the interest of both, and has
proven himself unstable and waverine
in his devotion to all sides. Gesner,
who is now said to be at the helm oi
the .StdtesaGn, is bitter foe to Rocky
for the reason that "Rocky's" influence
il supposed TO have secured tho appoint
ment of AL. Crossman to the position o
Postmaster mt Salem, whilo Gesner ha,
had his heart set upon that office fol-
many long waiting years. And now
the Statesman and Talk carry on the
war Immediately over the head, and IL
the name, of Rocky" for The evident
purpose of compelling him to receiv,
upon his devoted political head all th'
home thrusts and hattie brunts of botl
warring factions. Both these leader
in a very ironical, but secretly mnliciou
way, insist that "Rocky" belongs to Iii
faction, but this claim has so confuse,
the public mind in Salem that the Ak
Society of that city, for the purpose O
promoting the public welfare, have de
termined upon an attempt TO discus
and decide, at an early day, the verl
knotty question. (Which Side i
