DEMOCRATS VIcToRIoUs.-Incomp re-
turns from all parts of Oregon show heavy
democratic gains. According to late figures
Hermann, republican, for Congress, has less
than 800 plurality, and it is possible that
this margin will be swept away by the re-
turns from back counties out of reach Of the
telegraph. Pennoyer, democrat, for Gov
ernor, will probably have at least !, 500 over
Cornelius, republican, and possible 1000.
The figures on the Secretary of State are
very close. Webb, democrat, for State
Treasurer is probably elected by 800 major
ity and Strahan, democrat, for Supreme
Court Judge is probably elected by about
the some majority. The legislature is prob
ably democratic.
After two DAYS contest the democrats
in Woonsocket, r. l., have carried the cleo
ton for town officers, by creditable major
tiles in every instance.

If THE President has the common sense
his friends ascribe to him, he must have
even poorer opinion of his countrymen
than he had before he went to Deer Park.
An ex-senator digging fish bait for him with
his own hands, and presiding elder thank
ing God for the privilege of worshiping with
him, we're enough, that is if ne be the sort
of man his admirers say he is, to have dis
gusted him with the toadyism of the people
of whose laws he is the temporary admins.

Stranded Steamer.

McRIcuEs, L. l., June 9.-The position
of the steamer Bernard is unchanged this
morning and she is lying easy. A wreck
ing tug will commence unloading her cargo
to day. The vessel is uninjured and with
favorable weather she will probably set oil
within forty eight.hours. Her compasses
were affected by iron showing her course to
be due west when the vessel was going due
north, and this caused her strandng.

Huge Conspiracy.

CHICAGO, June "a special dispatch
from St. Louis, Mo-, says: "A huge con-
spiracr, The magnitude of which the sheriff
and his officers as yst decline to make pub
lie. has been unearthed in East St. Louis
For about two weeks Sheriff Ropiquet, with
some special men, have been watching the
movements of a gang in EastS st. Louis. On
Thursday the gang were run down and one
of the parties implicated, it is said, made
confession, giving away the whole business
The plan arranged by the gang was 10 as
certain when there were large amounts OF
money on hand in the East st. Louis Treas
ury and the Workingmen's Bank and lead
ing business houses of the city, and when-
ever a favorable opportunity occurred TO
burglarze them, and also private residences
of wealthy citizens known to have consid-
siderable amounts Of money and valuable
ewery in their houses. Noted cracksmen
from various parts of tho country are report
ed to have been engaged by the gang io do
the fne work. Acting on the advice OF the
party who squealed. Sheriff Ropiquet last
night arrested Jack Britton ut the Little
Rolling mills, where he was at work, alleg
ing that he was chief Of the gang, and had
charge of the burglars tools. Britton was
taken to Belleyille and lodged in Jail, but
denied all knowledge of the conspiracy. 1t
is alleged that q majority of the policemen
of the city had guilty knowledge of the con-
spiracy, and that they will be proceeded
against. A significant fact in this connec-
ton is the special session of the City coun-
Gil called last night by Mayor Joyce. A
resolution was adopted discharging the en-
tire police force of fourteen men, Chief Hol-
leran alone being retained. Detectives arc
now working on the case.
