TuE REASON.

The are two reasons why the Portland
ring allowed Hermann TO be nominated
for Congress over a Portland man.
The FIRST was that the ring ascertained
that Hermann was willing and
ready to do their bidding if cleo
ted. The tscond was, they had set
their heart upon having another United
States Senator. They feared the pso-
pie would rebel against such hogishness
hence they allowed it to appear that
they were appeasing the wrath Of the
"cow counties" when in fact they will
receive as much benefit from the elec-
ton Of Hermann as if the nominee had
been Portland man. Portland is the
center of the money and monopolistic
power Of the state. 1t is also the seat
of the centralized power of the Repub-
liean party Of the state. The Republi-
can party every where is the servant
and ally of the money and monop-
olistic power of the country. Therefore
Portland is Republican and controls
Mcltnomah county. The money and
monopoly power controls the republican
party of that county, controls the repub-
lican party of the state, therefore the
money and monopoly power controls
the republican party of the state, die
tates its nominations and moulds its
policy.
Hermann was nominated to make way
for Mitchell, Hirsch, or George to the
Senate. And republicans may prepare
Tor the election of one of these men, or
at least some Portland man to the Uni
ted States Senate in case the rspubli-
cans elect majority of the Legislature.
Republicans in the valley can prevent
this only by electing democratic mem
oers in all the close counties. We hear
they intend to do SO in several counties.
We hope to see them do see.

As PREDICTED.

There is much tribulation among our
republican friends on the Supreme
Judseship. Their candidate Mr.. Finn
of this city, meets open opposition and
war frem several republican papers of
the state and only half hearted support
from the remainder. The Herald, Rs
publican of this city, makes opep war
against Judge Finn by hosting Judge
Thayers name at the head of its columns
and giving him hearty cheerful support.
This it does upon the ground Of the in
competency of Judge Finn and the en-
inent qualifications of w. W. Thayer.
The party is thus divided into two war
ring factions and the war between them
is fierce and unrelenting. Those repub-
licans who support Finn, denouuce in
fierce and bitter language those who do
not, as boilers and traitors, while they
in return retort by saying that Finn
himself was bolter six years ago, in
that he voted for Mr.. Jason Wheeler of
this city, one Of the democratic candi-
dates for the Legislature, as against
Charley Johnson sf Scio who was beat
en- by only % votes. Thus the war is
kept up in moro bitter spirit than the
old time party fights between the dem
ocrats and republicans. The curses and
ordinations are both loud and deep and
spreading to all parts of the state. The
opinion is gaining Iground rapidly that
it will result in the defeat of Finn by
= large majority in favor of Thayer. All
kinds of rumors are afoat about the
friends of Finn trading off other candi-
dates for votes for him, while counter
charges are made that those who are
opposed to him are trading him off for
other candidates. This is some Of the
beasted harmony existing in the ranks
of the grand old party.

The approaching election presents
an opportunity to the people Of tho
state OF Oregon that they cannot az
ford TO neglect, and the indications
now are, that they will net. Results
that must, for years, affect and de-
termine the prosperity and progress
of the State, are dependent upoR the
issue, and we believe that no voter
can feel indifferent at TO the conse-
quences.
On the one hand the Republican
party has for It's standard bearer the
''brainless barrister" of Douglass
man not wholly unknown In the po-
litlcal history of the state. Aud for
The present walving all objections to
him on the ground of his past affil-
iations, sufficient reasons exist for his
defeat growing out of other consld-
erations. In the Arst place he Is not
man of business In detail, he Is
pompous, full of offensive vanity and
intensely selfish. His whole career,
II elected, will have but enc purpose,
and that will be the promotion of the
individual interests OF Binger Her
mann. In the next place he Is the
junior member OF the new political
ring now forming in this state, headed
by j. n. DOlph, and but one duty
will he required of him, and that Is
obedlence-unquestioning submission
to the will of the"boss." If the rIng'c
! program shall succeed-and that /.
the very question the people mus
, settle-practically, we will have but
r one man In the next congress from

, ''boss," the others will be "me toos.

more difficult Is its attainment. The
Republican party made these grants,

OF these liberal concessions. Il hes

have chance now to remedy this
evil by voting for John Myers. Mr..
Hermann is lawyer and an invet-

Office, and federal appointment at
the same time. Farmers should vote

We spoke last week OF the fact that
0 regular literary bureau had been
organized In this city for the purpose
of furnishing editorial articles and
correspondence for several Republican
newspapers Ia the state, In which the
claims Of l. Finn TO be elected Su-
preme Judge are set forth In the
regular, stereotyped pedigree style Of
the season. An old gentleman OF fthIs
city furnishes Republican paper Of
q neighborlng city with q very ofTu-
sive, confectionery sort Of letter In
which II Is promised that II Mr.. Finn
Is elected, he will bring dignity and
legal attainments to the supreme
bench not heretofore brought 10 II.
We understand this communication
has fallen under the notice OF the
present court, and that they accept
this as an intended Insult. II Is
thought the present members OF the
court will all Join Ia TO "inlie" Mr..
Finn, as they regard the letter as
having been Inspired by him. Then,
again. long article appears Ia a Port

by a disgruntled gentleman at Port

the Albany bureau. Then, again
this same gentleman writes a lone
letter TO Sunday paper In which
there is more confectionery on stick
And so on this matter continues Il

In this whole ridiculous procedure
there are some Republican paper
that have refused to open their col
umns to admit these literary pro
ductions, while only one or two hav
supported them by editorials Of thei
own. One silly correspondent In al

II the IA rmer, laboring man, or me-
ohanic wants a high protective tariff,
one that compells him to pay from 40
TO one hundred per cent higher for every
article which he buys or consumes, then
we say to such q one vote for Binger
Herman for Congress. If such voter
wants man ia Congress who will be
the mere tool Of Dolph, then vote for
Bing"r Hermann. II you want q man
who will represent the Portland and
railroad interest as against the interest
Of farmers and laborers then vote for
Binger Hermann. But if you are op-
posed to the monopoly tariff, which, in
its Of leration makes the rich richer, and
the poor poorer, then fail not to vote
for that stern commoner john Myers.
The voter has q great responsibility aad
ne can not dodge it. You must either
be for monopoly or against 1t. The time
for temporizing and timeservipg has
passed. Choose this day the right safe
