is for this reason that he will come to
Tacoma and Judge Allyn will 60 to

and degree of enthusiasm rarely
witnessed in bodies of like nature.

The Result in Oregon.

If any of our party associates feel
disappointed over the result In Oregon,
we have only to say that they have but
to closely study the situation to find
in it cause for congratulation rather
than Encouragement. 1t is conceded
that Oregon is Republican on a strict
party vote, even without the late
heavy immigration mainly from the
Republican. States, and there was no
reason to hope that her majority should
have been cast otherwise than it has in
this contest, when the lines are closely
drawn, and the Republican party. real
izing that its life depends upon the
Presidential contest this year, has
fought with the vigor of desperation.
Defeat with it means utter anninila-
ton. The Democrats have relied too
much on the prestige of National VIC
tory. They have chung to the belief
that victory assures success, and failed
to realize the extent of that manifest
determination of the foe to recapturs
lost ground at all hazards.
The effect Of this decisive victory for
the Republicans will be to unite the
Democrats everywhere in solid phalanx.
The logic of events convinces when
words fail. The magnitude of the en-
deavor next November will be by it
impressed upon every understanding
so deeply that none can err. The Con-
vention at St. Louis has been admon-
ished by it to make no mistakes. The
effect has not been lost, and we pre-
dict that the best of results will follow.
The precise issues that have contrib
uted to defeat in Oregon will lead to
victory elsewhere. The result shows
that the people can be awakened 10 a
consideration of principles that have
been the dividing line since the strug-
gle between the advocates OF free
nation and of kingly rule in the form
alton Of our Government.
Let our opponents make the most of
victory that only shows the temper
Of the people and the means whereby
disaster may be avoided.

SO long as the right Of the Govern
ment 10 provide legal tender currency
was not admitted frankly and without
reserve there was reason plausible at
least why men believing in the Green
back doctrine should leave the Repub-
lican party and establish third politi-
cal organization. Gen. Butler belonged
TO this class. lie knew that the Repub-
lican party devised the greenbacks and
first provided true National currency
for the wants of the Government and
the people against the venomous oppo-
sitiOn OF the Democracy, hut he conf
planned that the Republican party did not
carry its doctrine of Matchmaking the
currency TO It's logical conclusion. At
first the Republican Supreme Court
would go no further than TO affirm that
the issue OF grcenbacks was lustiilable
in time of war. Gen. Butler and other
leading Greenbackers would not accept
this Interpretation as satisfactory, and
the Grcenback party was organized 20
have IL extended and broadened. Gen.
Butler led the fight in the courts, and
since the last Presidential election ~
complete victory has been obtained for
the Greenbackers. The eight Republican
Justices OF the United States Supreme
Court united in affirming the power
Of Government 10 issue greenhacks in
peace or war, and in such quantity as
Congress saw &c. Field, the only Dem
ocrat then on the Supreme bench. alone
dissented. The Republican party was
thus brought 60 accept and recognize 20
the full limit it's doctrine OF nationality
as applied 20 the function of issuing
currency. Butler recognized the victory
rs complete. and he now sees no further
need for the Greonback party. It's mis-
sion is achieved. Glen Butler will ac-
cordingly return TO the Republican par

A rally recently given by the large.
enthusiastic Republican Club OF women
in Benton Harbor. Mich. was success.
and helped 10 open the campaign in that
city in = gratifying manner.
The ladies went 20 the hall in body,
escorted by the Benton Harbor Silver
Cornet Band and marching company.
The president of the club, Mrs. Webb,
presided. In her opening remarks she
said they "had no apology 10 offer for
their appearance As a political club"
She also stated some OF the objects OF
the organization, and said the great dan
ger 20 American institutions is from
ignorant voters. III women were ever
called upon TO vote they should be SO
prepared with political affairs that they
will vote intelligently.
The women OF this club propose to en-
nance the interest OF that which they
believe TO be for the best government
Mrs. s. A. Winans was introduced and
read paper full Of stirring sentiments;
Raised a Southerner, she said IL might
cause some TO nSk how she was 40 firm
in tho Republican cause; but she had,
from her home near some OF the battle
fields, been in position TO appreciate the
work done by the grand old party, and
TO fully realize how much We are indebt-
ed TO il for all tbatwe enjoy to-day. She
gave a merited rebuke 10 the men who
feel themselves too righteous to take
part in politics. while you stand one
side" size asked. ''who is il that controls
the caucuses? III half as good as you
believe yourselves 10 be, you are just
the ones 10 throw your influence FOR the
elevation OF politics" In conclusion
she said:
The Republican party has always
been more glorious in is performance
than in it's promise. When we review its
marvellous history and mighty achieve
ments and recognize the tralined instinct
of craftsmanship in its leaders, we feel
assured Of its success ia the approaching
contest If every man who believes ia the
Republican policy will but do his duty"
One speaker OF the evening thought
that triumph was TO award our efforts.
because the republican party represented
what is best for American institutions;
because there are more temperance
homes that aid in the Republican cause
than there are in all the other parties
together: and lastly, we propose 10 re-
serve our own markets for our own peo-
pie.

Cheap labor is the prime factor in the
estimates Of Southern statesmen OF the
Calhoun school. Through tho practical
scrfdom Of their former slaves they hope
TO secure sectional advantage over the
North, wherein the standard OF wages is
higher. Says Henry Watterson: south
ern furnace men should bear in mind
that high duty on imports will keep
up active composition in Northern
furnaces, while "a very moderate duty
would protect fair profit from foreign
competition, while greatly enlarging
their field by closing many Northern
furnaces on account Of tho cost Of pro-
duction." Reading this, can any one
