NEXT TUESDAYS ELECTION.

The result of next Tuesdays cleo
ton is foregone conclusion so far as
this state is concernd. That was set
tied last June. As the same issues
are presented now that were then, the
presumption is that the verdict of the
people will be the same, and the fact
that Oregonians don't want free lum-
Der nor free wool, nor the sectional
Mills bill, will receive the emphasis
of repetition.
1t would be an insult to the intelli-
gence of our readers to adduce argu-
ment additional to that already so CO.
piously cited. The question for each
voter to ask himself is, what is best
for my country?" If he honestly be-
lieves that it is better for this country
to degrade itself to the level of less
fortunate nations; to attack its pros
perity and reduce our national oppor-
tunities for acquiring wealth, he will
of course vote for the candidate who
is championed by every free trader in
the land.
If, on the contrary, he believes in
the maintenance and perpetuity of
system that makes this the richest
and most prosperous nation on the
planet, he will vote for the presiden-
tial candidate who stands on the pro-
lection platform.
The AsroRIAN doesn't believe in
sectional issues; in stirring up bad
blood or waving 'the bloody shirt"
the war was ended nearly twenty:four
years ago.
There are plenty present issues Of
public Importance; matters of to-day,
affecting our general welfare, and the
foremost j., shall this country have
protection or free trade?
On next Tuesday the people will by
their ballots decide which it shall be.
A MAN residing in this state fer the
last six months, who is now a citizen,
or who declared his intention to be a
citizen at least one year ago, or who
will be of age on the 7th inst, may
vote next Tuesday, and no Others.
He can vote at any election precinct
in the state, but he must have been a
resident of Oregon ever since the 9th
of Loot Mnr-

Parliamentary BurchinaI Of Kent Shook

BY Letter to EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, August 16.-The inmates
of the county building had sensation
yesterday The bitter fractional feeling
between leading Democrats here, as
stated in the EVENING JOURNAL last
week, is growing deeper and more bitter
every day G. H. B. Day, Esq, and
Prothonatory Joseph Burehinal have been
on the 'outs for some time over the re
centlyrevived deal discussion, and
yesterday when Mr. Day went into the
parliamentary oflieeson legal business he
was assaulted by Mr. Burchinal The
latter was arrested and at a hearing be-
fore Alderman Jester last evening, was
held in bail for his appearance at court,
). Frank Nilds becoming bondsman.
The immediate cause which led up to
the assault is little private correspon-
dence which passed between Messrs. Day
and Burchinal this week The latter has
claimed that Mr. Day knew all about the
reported deal with the Republicans two
years ago, and was party to it. Mr..
Day, both in the newspapers and in con
versation, has denied this. Mr. Burehinal
claimed to have proof, and Mr. Day called
on him to produce it in one of the Kent
county papers This Mr. Burchinal has
SO far failed to do, and on Monday las
Mr. Day sent him letter demanding that
he put in writing the proofs that he
claimed to be possessed of. and send to
him day. The prothonotary told the
messenger that on Tuesday evening he
would have the article required by Mr..
Day written. On that evening Mr.
Day received letter, as promised
but it did not relate to any deal politi-
cal or otherwise but simply contained a
bill against Mr. Day for services rendered
by the parliamentary in a case in which
the former was attorney. AS the case
should have been settled long ago, Mr.
Day called at the prothonoiary' office
yesterday to search the records bearing
on it, and it was while doing this that
the assault took place The two gentle
men got into discussion; the prothono-
tary called Mr.. Day lying scoundrel. I"
and then shook his fist in his face. even
touching him once or twice rather
roughly. Mr. Burchinal weighs about
double what Day does and the differences
in their sizes is about in proportion.
hence the lawyer left the Office, and act
ing on the advice of friends had the burly
parliamentary arrested with the results
above stated
Tho recent articles in the Smyrna Rec
ord, Dover Delawarean and Index have
stirred up al the bad blood between the
factions afresh, and threats Of exposures
and counter-eXposures are rife. Several
wordy alterations have occurred on the
streets, and the wonder is that actual
assault has been STAYED off so long. Last
night the Burchinal-Day affair was the
talk of the town, and very bitter opinions
we're expressed pro and con. Both gen
tlemen are prominent members Of the

DAVIDSON AND MALONE CASES.
Two Marble Dealers Fined for obstructing
the Sidewalks.


the Sidewalks.
In the Municipal Court this morning
the case of Thomas Davidson and John
l.. Malone, charged with obstructing the
sidewalk by allowing piles Of marble TO
remain on them, was called up.
Harry Emmons, Esq, appeared for the
defendants The case Of Davidson was
called first. Francis McCloskey the
street commissioner testified to the OBJ
structions existing on Fifth street below
King, on the north side, and that they
had been there for some time Notice
had been served upon Mr. Davidson, but
the obstruction had not been removed.
John L. Malone testified to being in the
marble business since 1854 and that he
had never known any objection to be
raised to the placing of the marble on
the sidewalk. 1t was necessary to have
the marble there to advertise the bust
ness.
Mr.. Emmons said that this was an ex-
traordinary case that the law in relation
to distractions on the pavement had
been dead letter for years. All
manner Of business men had frequently
violated it, The defendant was a law
abiding citizen, who had no intention Of
violating any law. The Judge fined Mr.
Davidson s and costs. The same fine
was administered in the Malone cases.
Mr. Emmons appealed both cases to the
Superior Court
