The Oregon Election.

There are of course not wanting those
who find in the result OF the election which
occurred in Oregon on Monday evidence
of great democratic victory and of the
approval on the part of the people OF that
State Of the Cleveland administration,
says the Boston Traveller. According to
the latest returns the election of PenDoyer
IS governor is conceded by majority of
shout 1900 votes. The fact is, however,
that national issues were not involved in
the canvass at all. and that Mr.. Pennoyer
is elected on local issues growing out OF
the election of Mitchell as United States
Senator last winter by democratic votes.
The State is close in any event. though in
recent years where national issues are in
volved 1t has never failed to give small
majority for the republican ticket. The
nominations by the republicans of Mr..
Cornelius for governor and of Judge
Waldo for reelection were unfortunate
ones, andled to bolt ON the part of q
large number Of republicans. who have
been represented by the Portland Orego-
MAN, the leading republican paper of the
State. The democratic nominations were
NO better, but democrats have a habit OF
voting the straight ticket, no matter who
ia candidate. The Prohibition candidate
cantured the votes of the disaffected re-
nnblicans who voted at all. and the result
il the election of the democratic governor,

AT the democratic State convention there
was such bitter contest among some OF
the delegates as to which set should be
recognized by the convention that the
State committee was afraid to make any
decision. and to avoid the open rupture
that was sure to follow If either set of
credentials was rejected the committee
voted to admit both delegations and they
acted throughout the deliberations of the
convention, although one side or the other
had no rights ON the floor. At the repub-
lican convention there was not single
contested case, everything being entirely
harmonious This little incident serves
to illustrate the condition of the two par
ties to-day. The democrats are fighting
among themselves. one faction denounc-
ing the other as traitors and wreckers,
while the republicans have placed their
nominee in the field without a ripple and
will work shoulder to shoulder for his
triumphant election.
