The Republican primary coventions
i'll Salem last Saturday was attended
with more excitement, manipulation,
wire working and unusual efforts to
get people to vote for the contending
factions than is most usual at general
election in other localities. While it
is necessary and important for a full
attendance at primary conventions,
yet the practice Of setting them up as
it was said to have been done at Salem,
is shame and burning disgrace to
American politics. 1t is certainly
calculated to undermine the good order
of our system of politics where voters
SO far forget their political principles
as to permit two or three men of
factions to set up the precinct
and vote men with as little
reason as herd of sheep or cattle. 1t
would seem that newspapers in such
community if so disposed could do
much toward bringing about a more
healthy and respectable management
of such matters.

The Democratic State convention
certainly performed its labors with a
weak pulsation. Their ticket is headed
with John Myers of Clackamas for
Congressman. This nomination would
seem like all the head lights of the
party were fearful to run lest they
should meet with a Waterloo; but as
to John Myers he is always for office,
and If there is no chance to get the
Office he will accept nomination only
and if he can get neither he would at
last get in on proxy If anyone was so
simple minded as to give him one. If
he should ever be elected to any Office
h, would likely make steady oppo-
sition and accomplish nothing, as his
eforts particularly in deliberative
bodies is to oppose what others do and
do but little else himself. 1t is even
claimel by some that his predisposition
to oppose, mixed with contrariness, is
the reason his hair fails to grow any
more prolific and remains in fragrant
opposition to the natural growth of
nature.

1t is STATED on telegraphic authority
that conference of gentlemen met a

was agreed to nominate Ben Butler

Reagan of Texas for Vice President

and the leaders of the greenLack party
agree to ratify the nominations.

the race for president 1t having be
come apparent to him that he could
not get the democratic nomination for
which he has been working for a long
time, he now is fishing for nomina-

to warm the presidential chair but he
will never be permitted to enjoy that
distinguished doaoc.

THE PosTofrIcE APPROPRIATION BILL

The principal changes anade by tn.
senate in the postof6ee appropriation
bill are that it increases the amount
allowed for postmasters' salaries from
100000 to Sill, 100000; for
salaries of clerks in postofices from
$4,775,ooO to $4,000, 900; for payment
of letter carriers and expenses of the
free delivery system from $3,6OO,OOO
to $4,000, 900. The senate strikes
ssa] lse providing that period
tcall aioas sottNt than daily news
papers, when delivered within the city
OF publication, shall be charged the
same postage as if delivered elsewhere.
For inland mail transportation the
appropriation is increased from $11,-
100000 to $12,75O,OOO. The senate
strikes out the clauses directing the
postmaster general to make a uniform
reduction of 5 per cent. on the COM
pensation paid all railroads, and re-
quiring land grant roads to carry
mails for so per cent. less than is
charged by other roads. The appro-
priation for the railway postofice car
service is increased from 81, 10000 to
81, ,625 700, and $1s5,OOO is appro-
priated for necessary and special facul-
ties on trunk lines. The latter, it was
understood, is for faster mail service
in the south. The amount for steam
boat service is increased from $6,250,-
900 to Sc. 100000. 1
Appropriation for star route is in
creased from $4, 100000 to S., 900, ,O00
but the clause reapprop riating the un-
expended balance of last years appro-
prlatlon is stricken out. In referring
to this form Senator Plumb said it'll
was an increase only in appearance,
and not in fact, as there was no unex-
pended balance to be reappropriated.
The appropriation for railway postof6ce
clerks is increased from 81 100000 to
81, 300, 900, and for mail bags and
S23O, 900 to $25A0oo.
The senate adds to the bill $500 to |
lefray the expenses of delegates to the
universal union congress, to be held at
Lisbon October n sxt, and finally pro
7ides that if the revenue of the post
'ffice department. shall be insufficient
% meet the appropriations made by the
lct the deficiency shall be made up
rom any moneys in the treasury not
otherwise appropriated.

1t will be remembered thattte dem =

Ger of the county or state accepted a
pass he shall forfeit his right to the

cant" And while this resolution was
still fresh in the minds of the delegates
to the state convention assembled at

The cosmopolitan character of our
American magazines has never been better
illustrated than in the announcements of
the May Harper's. Certainly American
topics, authors. and artists are thoroughly
represented, but there will be also papers
on English, French, :and German subjects,
written by Englishmen, Frenchmen, and
Germans, and illustrated by English and
French artists. William Black, William
Sharp, Alfred Parsons, A. F. Jacassy, and
DR.. Moritz Busch are among the contribu.
tors in question. Yet Harper's is commonly
counted the most American of our magazines.

Polk and Benton county democracy
at the State Democratic convention

at the State Democratic convention
nominated Rufus Thompson for join
Senator for the two counties. Tht
nomination is an unusual good one i
viewed from the standpoint of afford
ing no opposition whatever to the
election of the Republican nominee.
Mr.. Thompson is a renter on DR.
Hills place in the lower end of thi.
county. He rented the Drs. farm and
moved to this county a few months
before our county election twol years
ago. Our readers will no doubt remem
ber that two years ago the GAZETTE
made some hitting blows at the doings
of the State Democratic convention
and the district nominations which
they made at that time, which
seemed to displease some of the dele
gates in the Benton county Democratic
convention, and because the managers
of the GAZETTE could not be induced
to desist in such course, certain reso-
lutions were prepared and placed in
Mr.. Thompson's hands which he in
troduced and read in the convention,
denouncing the GAZETTE, its manage
ment, its course of journalism and
everything connected with it, because
it dared to say what it deemed to be
right and proper to say on the matters
then of vital interest to the public. 1t
is possible that these resolutions were
placed in Mr.. Thompson's hands be-
cause he was a new conner, and a COM
parative stranger in the county and be-
cause those who had been here longer
and were better acquainted had more
sense than to have anything to do
with such resolutions, as they met
with very slight vote in the conven-
tion. As to how he came to introduce
them or what his motive or purpose
was is matter of little consequence,
but the point to be gained from the
whole matter is that if he had been
possessed with the good common sense
and the ordinary foresight which a
senator to the State legislature should
possess he would not have touched
;hem, because their introduction de-
noralized their party in the county
or that campaign and it was the
greatest benefit to the GAZETTE which |
'ould have happened it. It is useless
20 further comment, because Rufus
Thompson stands no more chance of
'eing elected joint Senator for Polk
md Benton to the next legislature
han some man now in Brazil.

California's extra session of the leg
islature is proving to be a failure.
1t is now almost certain that none OF
the measures proposed by the Govern
or for cinching the railroads will be en-
acted, as the corporation interest is
said to be able to control a majority in
both houses. The cost of the extra
session will be about 500, 900, and
how to get decently out of an embaras-
sing fix and end the session, is the all
absorbing question.

article on the crusade against the Stude-

policy and burn all the Sudebaker wag-
ons and refuse to buy any more from
them, don't you break up their business
and throw these same men out of en-
ployment? And II you do this, are you
any better than the Studebakers? Are
you not doing just what you wanted to
prescribe them for doing? Certainly you
are, and as IL is the interest Of these
poor laboring men that you propose to
look after, don't you see you can't con-
sistently adopt the proscriptive policy
Of the Studebakers? Certainly your
sense of consistency will teach you this.
Then let us, hold up boys; let us.not
do the very thing that we complain Of
others doing; II is not consistent, neither
is 1t right. Away with all prescription;
let us set better example than the Re-

build up rather than to tear down. Be-
