OREGON was a Republican State. 1t
gave Lincoln plurality in 1860. The
Republican majority in 1862 was 1859,
and the State remained Republican
until 1868, when Horatio Seymour
carried it by 164 plurality. In 1870 a
Democratic Governor was elected by
63l plurality. In 1872 the Republicans
again had a majority of 4 ,0S9, and they
held the State from 1876 up to the
present year. Now the State wheels
out of the Republican column and
takes its stand with the Democracy,
giving the Democratic Governor $500
majority. This result is a great blow
to Republicanism, as indicating, like
the recent election in Rhode Island,
the gradual disintegration of the 6. o.

On Friday last the Republican Sem
ate, by the decisive vote of 80 to II,
passed the bill restoring Fitz John
Porter to his original rank of Colonel
in the regular army. AS might have
been expected, that arch demagog-
unlike the lamented Grant, who had
the courage to acknowledge an error,
and hasten to make reparation-Lo-
gan sought, as heretofore, to defeat its
passage, charging Republicans as well
as Democrats, with honoring treason
and disloyalty at the expense of the
memory of Lincoln, Stanton and Gar
field. But Logan is never so happy
ss when displaying his vindictive par
tisanship, and in this instance be out
Loganed Logan. Tenacity to princi-
pie is commendable-persistent parti-
san servility, detestable. Envenomed
Misrepresentation and blind prejudice
are not born of logical reasoning. A
man of LOgan's caliber excels not so
much as logician as in stalwart dem
agogism. We think we make 30 mis-
statement, in saying that large and
intelligent majority of the people, ir-
respective of party, will regard this as
but an act of justice, far too long de.
layed, and honor those Republicans
whose loyalty to justice caused them to
rise superior to the dictatorial spirit of
merely partisan eutgrowth, and who
thus aided to remove the unjust stig
ma that has for so many years rested
upon this gallant and loyal soldier.
Hail, Justice! Vale, Logan!
Three times this bill had met with
defeat-havingo once passed the Senate,
but failed of passage in the House ;
once the Senate rejected it after its
passage in the House, and Arthur ve-
toed it, upon mere technicality, after
its passage by both bodies.

ANN ARBOR, MICH, June 25.-Dr
v. e.. Vaughan, in examining a spec
linen of the ice cream which recently
poisoned number of persons at New
ton, Mich, has made the important
discovery that tyrotOxicOn, the active
element i'll poisoning cheese which he
discovered some time since. was also
present in the ice cream, and was the
cause of the sickness. This proves
that tyrotoXicon is due to the decom-
position of milk, and may oe devel
oped i'll any milk which is kept in
impure atmosphere or unciean vessels.
The germ seems to multiply very rap.
idly, and a small amount of tainted
milk will poison a whole can. 1t is
DIR. Vaughan's theory thaj tyrOtoxi.
con has much to do with cholera in
fantum, the symptoms OF which are
similar to the symptoms of cheese poi
soning. The Doctor will present a
detailed statement of his discoveries
to the State Board of Health at its
next meeting.

prohibit the sale of Intoxicating bev-

SENATOR SHERMAN, who stands
high as lawyer, and is the great and
shining light of Ohio Republicans,
says: do not see how you can
have tax without its operating as a
license law. A license is permit by
legal grant. A tax On a trade or occu
patton implies permission to follow
that trade or occupation. We do not
tax a crime. We prohibit and punish
it. We do not share in the profit of a
larceny, but by tax we do share in
the profits of selling liquors, and there
fore allow or license it,"

Primary Elections.

We learn TINT our County Chairman, Mr..
Bcnct, is in correspondence with the County
Chairmcn of the other counties in the District
in reference to the adoption of q system of
Congressional primary elections. AS chair
man OF the committee of the Third Congress
sional District he proposes to call a meeting Of
the County Chairmen on an early day, for
conference on this important subject, and he
hopes to be able to report progress at the
meeting of the County Democratic Club next
Sale Day. From all accounts, it seems very
likely that the primary election system will
be adopted. The newspapers OF the various
counties in our District all seem to favor that
system, as the one that is most likely to give
general satisfaction, and to express more
faithfully than any other the will and choice
Of the people. There is widespread dissatis-
faction with the convention system and q
strong and general desire for the primary elec-
ton plan. 1t has been said that the primary
plan is impmcticable, but there is truth In
the old saying that where there is will there
Is way, and it is quite probable that the pri-
mary plan will be adopted.

Il This q Slander?

WAsu1N5;mS, May sl.-Thc secret of Gov
er,1or ThompSon's unexpected visit TO WASH
ington is out, as appears rom IL statement
made to-daE by gehtlcnan who was inStru-
,acntal in his coming. Said the latter: Gov
crnOr Thompson has been here on little Wis
1t to some Oi his friends, who desired him TO
become personally known to the President
He made a most favorable impression at the
White House when lie called with senator
Hampton, and was given to understand that
an important Federal appointment would be
offered him if he would consider its accept
ance, The proposed appointment would have
been highly complimentary TO Governor
Thompson, personally, as we'll MS to the State
OF South Carolina, but lie said promptly that
crnor merely to promote his own interests -
Correspondence Ne,CS and Courier.
That paragraph must be a slander. We are
friendly to Governor Thompson. We have
no adverse criticism to make of his admins
tmtion. We would do him justice. For
these reasons we protest against attributing
to him that kind of alleged patriotism which
would refuse IAN appointment which would
have been highly complimentary to Govern
or Thompson personally, as we'll us to the
State of South Carolina" In the first place
we do not believe that Governor Thompson
has done so foolish a thing as to decline to
accept for himself and South Carolina such
honors. If he did we think
he deserves anything else than praise for the
act The State Of South Carolina repudlates
the idea that she would expect or demand OF
any citizen the refusal Of hOnors which would
be complimentary to the State or to himself
The publication of this report deserves Gov
ernor Thompson's prompt denial. If he does
not correct it he gives his opponents the best
reason for urging his retirement at the end of
his present term Of office. Governor Thomp-
son should not allow such talk as that which
comes from Washington.

The Primary Elections.

We would remind our people that the time
is drawing near when they will be called up
on to express their choice for various officers
or public servants. Heretofore, we have al
lowed few delegates to elect Congressman,
and have sent hundred men to Columbia to
select State officers for us. 1t now seems to us
that it is time for us to assert our manhood
and demand of our party leaders the right to
choose our own officers. We are not children,
that we need to acknowledge our inability to
choose our Congressman and State officers
The people not only have a right to vote for
these officers, but they have right to see.
them face to face, and they have the right to
interrogate them as to their political faith
There are always important issues before the
people, and they should vote for the men who
nearest represent them on these questions. If
the people arc worthy of the ballot, then they
should demand the tree exercise Of that right
in the choice Of their officers, but If they
think they are a set of men who cannot as
surne this duty, then they should continue to
allow delegates to elect Congressman and
State officers.
