1t is to be expected, from the magnr-
tude of our purchases, that the people
will find something more than an ordi-
nary assortment to make their pur-
chases from, and, further, it Is reason
able to suppose, from the position which
we occupy III the mercantile market,
that bargains can be offered and are
daily exhibited at the LONG BRICK
STORE, sufficiently great to awaken
an interest in the mind of every pur-
chaser and throw around the Long Brick
Store a charm that none can dispel.

The Result in Oregon.

We announced last week that the Re-
publicans had carried Oregon by about
4, 900 majority and elected a majority of
the Legislature. securing United States
Senator to succeed Mr.. Dolph. Later in.
formal ion places the Republican majority
for Congressman at over 1000. and the
Legislature at over 40 majority on joint
ballot. The Democrats and Third party
.ople made common cause to defeat the
republicans, by running Prohibition can
didates for the Legislature in strong Re-
publican counties, TO divert Republican
votes. and thus secure the legislature
But the result was that not only were the
Republicans successful in the old Republi.
can counties, but they carried number
of strong Democratic counties, for the
first time since the organization of the
Safe government. The victory was nota
BILE because of the efforts and combina
tions of the Democrats and the defeat OF
the leaders and tactics of both the Third
Party and the Democracy. The tariff
issue was the paramount question, espe.
cially the free wool clause of the Mills
bill and the free trade ideas of the Presi.
dents message. The result was unexpected
to both parties, and the more assuring to
the friends of American industries, be-
cause of it's SURPRISING magnitude.

The Virginia Case at Chicago.

The Malone faction know that if they
confins themselves to "a truthful statement
of the facts, that the so-caled delegates
appointed by Mahone's Petersburg conven.
tion will have no standing before the COM
mittee on credentials, and will not be
recognized in the Convention. The ap-
pointmeut of the district delegates was
made in direct and fragrant disregard of
the call of the National Committee. The
convention must either sustain its own
legislation and the formal act of its com.
mittee, in rejecting the claims of Malone
and his faction. or it must 60 back upon
itself, repudiate its own resolves and the
Call under which it will assemble. To do
this would be to stultify the party before
the country and forfeit public confidence.
The delegates at large will stand in a
different, but equally as helpless situa-
tion. If the equities of the case are con-
sidered, and Mahone's plan of organiza-
ton; his call for the State convention and
his ''personal and cOnfidential'' circular
are anal,zed and their meaning extracted,
it will be readily seen that the purpose was
to defraud the people OF their rights
and select, not delegates to repre-
sent the Republican party, but to re
cord Mahone's will, to execute his plots
and give emphasis to his despotism. In no
sense can his delegates large be consid-
cred representatives Of the Republican vo.
trrs of the State. To admit them to seats
would be to endorse his methods, cOndone
his corrupt devices, and assume the re-
sponsibility for his disregard of the pop
ular " i'll. His whole programme from be.
ginniig to end, in all of its details, was
usurpation OF the most glazing and fragrant
nature. and could not be approved by the
Convention without being participant in
his detestable and wicked methods.
We will be much mistaken if the Com
mittee on Credentials and the Convention
do not repudiate Malone and his faction
10y refusing them any official recognition
at Chicago.

Mr.. Scott, of Pennsylvania, under in
structions from the Committee on Reso-
lutiouS. offered the fOllowir q resolution
Widows, Pension Bill.

The President, on the 9th, approved the
act of Congress providing that pensions
heretofore or hereafter granted to widows
of soldiers of the ''War of the Rebellion
shall begin at the date of the death of their
husbands. This legislation favorably af-
fects all claims of widows of the late war
which have been filed in the Pension Office
on or after July !, 1880. Widows entitled
under this law need only write letter
giving name, post office address and certi-
ticate number, and the claims will be al
lowed with as little delay as possible. 1t
seems from the haste that the President
signed this bill that he still has some hope
of the Union soldier vote, hut it will prOye
dtlusion. His veto messages and the terms
in which they were couched, will not be
so easily forgotten or the indignation
aroused, so readily appeased.
