The soldier element is well represented on the
State ticket. This being the case, it will com
mand the hearty support of those who marched
to the music of the Union during the dark days

State ticket, is an eloquent and able debater and
his ringing voice will be heard in all parts of the

The nomination of Hon. William Fl. Calkns
for Governor, by the Republicans Of Indiana,
was not only piece of wisdom as regards the
governorship itself, but it was an action which
will bring great strength to the Republican
cause in that State this year. With Blaine and
Logan the national ticket and Calkips for
Governor the Republicans are about as sure of
carrying Indiana as they are of carrying Mime

SURPLUS.

The public debt statement for
September shows the amount in the
Treasury to be s425,0s1, ,32I.56. This
money is drawn from circulation and
thus increases the financial stress that i.
now weighing 50 heavily upon the peo-
pie. This j. equal to abontssight dollars
for every man woman and child in the
whole country.
If this amount were equally distrib-
uted in circulation throughout the coun-
try, Orsgon would receiyeEoyer one
and half millions sof il, and Linn
county would have added to her pres
snt scanty circulating medium $l25, 900.
But this money Under Republican rule
is boarded up and used toEno purpose.
How farmer, mechanic, or laboring
man can vote for this policy IS more
than We can understand, but In voting
for Blaine, we vote to continue this poll
icy.

Every one Of our readers who heart
hr. George at the court house last Fri
day evening remembers with what ear
neatness b. maintained that be was ia
favor Of declaring forfeit ell unearnet
land grants. He insisted in the mos
emphatic way that no vote, nor act o
bis while in Congres would lead an,
one 10 infer that he was opposed to q
forfeiture Of such grants.
Blaine-like Mr.. George took into
bis confidence his whole audience ans
called upon any or all to speak out
there were any who believed be hat
been derelict ia his duty to his consti
tuents who were knowa 10 be largely
in favor of forfeiture. We suppose
that not one republican in ten present
at the meeting but what went sway
from the meeting believing that Mr.
George had labored earnestly to secur'
. declaration on the part Of Congress II
favor of fcrfeiting these lands.
The truth is that less than q year age
Mr.. Holman of Indiana introduced th,
following resolutions which Mr.. George
voted against:
"RssoIUed, That ia the judgment Of
the house all public lands heretofore
granted states and corporations, and to
aid the construction of railroads, so Ear
as the same are subject to forfeiture by
reason Of non-fulfllment Of the condi-
tions on which the grants were made,
ought to be declared forfeited to the
United States and restored to the pub
lie domain.
ResoIved, That it Is to the highest
public interest that laws touching pub
lie lands be so framed and administered
as ultimately to secure freeholds therein
to the greatest number of citizens: and
to this end laws facilitating speculation
In public lands, or authorizing or per-
mitting entry or purchase thereof in
large bodies, ought TO be repealed, and
all public lands adapted to agriculture,
ought to be reserved fer the actual and
bona fde settlers, and disposed of under
the provisions of homestead laws only.
Resolved, That the committee on pub
lilo lands be instructed to report to the
house bills TO carry into effect the views
expressed in the foregoing resolutions.
and be authorized to report such bills
at any time, sabject only to revenue
and appropriation bills, and that the
same shall be in like order entitled to
consideration"
The resolutions were adopted yass,

tive vote Bsrksdale, Bingham, Bisbes.
George, Hoar, Kean, Libbey, Lyman,
Morse, Muldrow, Poland ,Ranney, Reed.

Now why did not Mr.. George explain
this vote to the peoplel We leave the
whole matter with our readers to Judge
for themselves about this awkward DO
sition into which Mr.. George has placed
himself.

This gentleman spoke At the Court
House last Friday evening toa good
sized audience.
The main portion of his speech was
devoted to Al attempt TO leave the im-
preston upon the minds of his hearers
that the democratic party had granted
away as much of the public lands to
railroads - the republicans had, and We
have ne dsube that three fourths Of the
republicans present went away Impress
ed with that idea. And why should
they not in view of the statements of
the speech9 Did he not tell his hear
srs that the democratic party had made
81 grants to railroads while they were
in wer,and the republicans had made
only 36l And is not II more than
Sc?
How many of his republican hearers
saw and appreciated tAat, while this ar
gument was ingenious it was very un-
candid and unfair, and unworthy,a can
didate for the United States Senate
but suited only to political demagoguesl
Why did he not tell the people that
under whig and republican presidents
there were granted to railroad, cana
and wagon road companies the enor-
nous amount of l4l,024,22s acre
while under democratic administration
th ere were granted for the same pur-
pose only 20, 200. $50 acres? Being de
sirous of being truthful and candid, h
might have told his audience that th
above figures were taken from the of
fetal records at Washington but W
suppose that would not have subserve
his purpose. As to the tariff, his prosen
tation of the su hject was equally uncan
did. unfair, and illogical. The ksrnc
of his argument was that to reduce th
tariff duties would be to Increase th
surplus amount Of money frem tbs
source. We think many of his heareg
saw the flllacy of this argument. II
INDUCED in = severe criticism Of demo
ersts who be said would strike at on
protective tariff By attempting to re
ducs it. when only little over one yea
ago Mr.. George himself voted for bi
reducing the tariff generally, includin
that on wool upon which there ha
been such complaint among wool grow
err. Why did he not tell the peopl
In that candid undevious way whic
honest people 50 much admire that th
republicans in Congress on March 3rd
1883 reduced the tariff generally, inolu
ding that on wool by the following vot.
In the senate, these voting for the bi
were 81 republicans ane | democrat
Those voting against were q democrat
and 2 republicans.
| In the house those voting for tb
bill were l39 republicans and 1: aem
ocrats. Those voting against the bill
were los democrats and 10 republicans
This would have modified very mucl
the altitude which be assumed on th
tariff question. After all it is best b
