NEBRASKA CRY, Neb., Oct 23.-l Special
to THE BEE. The fight IN the democratic
ranks is daily becoming more bitter and con-
sequently interesting. While Nebraska City
and Otoe county are enthusiastic for J.
Sterling Morton for congress regardless Of
party affiliations, that gentleman finds his
most bitter opponents in his own party
through jealousies or fear OF an honest man.
Recently Mr.. Morton called the attention of
the department at Washington to the un-
necessary delay in the completion of the
government postoffice IN this city and the
consequent dissatisfaction to the citizens
The assertion was made, and investigation
proved it, that the delay was often inten-
tional and deliberate to prolong a pet
government job for the superintend-
ent of construction and his assistant.
The department official was heard from on
the subject, and in consequence Mr. Morton
has several members Of his party in this city
who are betting against his election and are
working hard to bring il about.
In conversation with The BEE correspond
ent Mr.. Morton stated that from undoubted
information he learns that Internal Revenue
Collector Calhoun is working against him
with might and main, and using what intiu-
ence he has in his official capacity to this
end. Calhoun's clerks and deputies have
been given the cue, and some who have re
Gently lost their situations assert that it
was because Of their love for Morton
Calhoun has always been Morton's most
bitter political and personal enemy, caused
by an ungrateful ambition through lack of
ability, to attain the position in national polit-
ical emnence reached by his rival. Mr..
Morton says he considers it compliment to
himself to have it known by every decent
democrat throughout the district who it is
that fights HIM in his own party. He says
he should feel disgraced to have somo of the
alleged democrats in this city and district,
who are now opposing him, hurrah for Nor
ton. On the whole the fight on Martin by
his own party is decidedly interesting to re-
publcans.
The county campaign is also waxing de-
cidedly warm and everything is favoring the
republican candidates The legislative ticket,
with one possible exception, will be elected
Every day adds to the strength Of
the tickets. The Hon. Paul Schminke, al
though "out Of politics." could not resist the
temptation TO take the stump again and is
doing effective work for the ticket among the
Germans. He has brought out the record Of
some of the democratic legislative candidates
in a manner that is politically paralyzlng.
He has learned that the pet candidate on the
democratic ticket, a brewer, was forced to
leave the state of Iowa less than two years
ago because of indictments by the grand jury
for violations of the prohibitory laws, and
that one indictment and fine cost him 5000.

The French Chamber of Deputies.

PARIS, Oct. 23.-General Boulanger was
present in the chamber of deputies to-day.
Baron Soubeyran stated that the enormous
proportions Of the public debt demanded re-
ductions in government stats, and the sale

cisms were exaggerated. 1t was not French
expenditures alone that were increasing.
All European budgets were augmenting.
Europe has been transformed into vast in
trenched camp. France was not free in her
movements. She was bound by the fatality
Of events, and it was impossible to isolate
herself as an island before the menacing
coalitions. He appealed to the patriotism OF
the members of the chambers to pass the
budgets. Roche's speech was greeted with

The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1888-10-12

For some days the Oyegoniaa has had
standing in It's columns an extract purport-
Ing 10 be a resolution OF the democratic
platform of this state of 1856. To show
how destitute that paper Is OF fair dealing
or honesty, We call the attention of repub-
iicans who swear by II 10 the moral forgery
It Is guilty OF In garbllng The resolution.
The last clause In the resolution OF the
platform reads as follows sand we con-
denim republican congress In reducing
the tariff on wool and IN iRcycasiag fhe tariff
oa sooieH goods. The OysgoMiaH publishes
the last clause as follows: "And we con-
demna republican congress in reducing
the tariff on woodland stops short as
though that was all Of the resolution. This
kind of journalism Is disreputable and we
must be permitted to express our surprise
that even the 0regoaiaa would so degrade
itself as to garble the language of another
so rs 10 distroy the real meaning. This II
does to retaliate on the democratic press
the state for publishing copIous and numer'
Gus extracts from that paper showing tha
until recently It has, for many years, been
an out and out tariff-for-revenue-only
paper. By the above garbled extract from
the democratic platform of 1886 1t attempts
to show that the democrats are inconsis
tent in having been opposed to reduction
of the tariff on wool then and in favor of I
now. II will be remembered that demo
Gratis opposed the republican tariff bill o
1883 on the ground that Il raised the dut,
on woolen goods while It reduced 1t OF
wool. Democrats favored reducing OF
both. This falsifying the record by thu
Oyegoniaa Is In line with the general course
OF that paper marked out for Itself durinl
this campaign. One man at least ha
learned to his sorrow that It Is not safe 4
bet on any statement made by that paper

PHILLIP DRUNK.

We have to say here now that we have
carefully read and weighed the argument
which the Oyego-ia1 from time TO tim c
since 1851 up to the early spring months
of 1888 has presented in favor of tariff re-
form, and have read and weighed with
equal care the argument presented by the
same paper since Its remarkable "conver-
sion" to that sys.em of protection robbery
which 1t erswhile denounced With so much
indignation, and in all candor must say thai
Scotts argument as a tariff reformer Ii
much more forcible, sensible, candid and
logical than his argument as defender OF
our robber tariff system. We feel safe in
saving that with all the zeal his "conyer
sion" inspires Philip drunk will never be
able to meet the argument of Philip sober
It Is the almost universal opinion of people
republicans as well as democrats, that
Scott at heart Is as much free trader as he
ever was, and that the only reason why he
now stultifies his conscience and manhood
Is on account Of the exigencies Of party re-
lationship. 1t is not to be wondered Al
that he should now be acting in the role o.
"PhiIip drunk" in view of the fact that he
with party zeal and obligated duty sup
/ portn the free whisky platform of his party
