THE most the Virginia Democrats
could do, with all their intimidation,
ballot-box stufing, and false counting,
was to give Cleveland 1000 plurality in
the State. On anything like a fair
count, Harrison and Morton would have
received Virginia's electoral vote.

cured control of the New Jersey Legis-

peaceful frame of mind over the Sena-

THE United States Supreme Court
has decided that the Government pos
sesses the power to bring suit against a
holder of its patent for the purpose OF
declaring the patent void, provided it
can sustain the allegation that the pat
ent was obtained by fraud. This is the
leading point of the decision which was
pronounced last week by Justice Miller
who spoke for the whole court except
Mr.. Justice Gray, who took no part in
the hearing.
The suit against the Bell Telephone
Company wastherefore properly brought.
That is, it is now declared to be within
the power of the government to bring an
action to tear its seal from a patent viii
ated by a fraud. The court also finds
that the allegations of the bill charge
fraud with sufficient force and clearness
and that, if the government sustains
them, thu Bell patent must be annulled.
The question whe her Bell stole the
Gray patents by collusion with Patent
Office clerk will now be legally settled

THE Democrats did not deserve the
least recognition for the prosperity of
the country while Cleveland was writ
ing his three hundred vetoes. The
Democratic party had not power to
make or change law. They grabbed
the spoils and business ran along in the

to whom constitutional vigor has

To the nerves and muscles of the

REPUBLICAN RALLY.
An Enthusiastic neutrality-suspicious.,
Music and Hearty Applause.

The republican rally in the opera
house last evening was gratifying
success. The hall was filled before
the hour announced for the meeting,
the standing room about the doors
being densely occupied. At 7;3O
o'clock the second regiment band
stirred up the feelings Of the audience
with an appropriate air, and then q.
H. Burnett, chairman of the republic
can club, called the meeting to order.
The glee club then sang the national
hvmn "America.u The first speaker
called on was Hon. Il. II. Geer, who
started out in a serio-comic vein to
discuss this abstruse problem, "What
in the world is the democratic party
Good for?" He found it was made
up of negatives. 1t never advocated
any useful thing, but was always
opposed to this, that or the other.
Mr.. Geer briefly sketched the reform
promises of the democracy made four
years ago, and then inquired what
reform it had inaugurated. He re-
garded the present time as propitious
for the success Of the republicans,
and he looked for their triumph at
the polls in June and November
next.
This prediction was hailed with
enthusiastic reform.
Hon. John A. Hunt was the next
speaker, who asked the forbearance
Of his audience in not being prepared
TO address them; but he warmed up
with his subject and made a happy
talk which was frequently and hear
tily applauded.
The glee club then sang the Red
White and Blue " with happy effect,
which was followed by a short and
well received address by Hon. f. &.
Baker. He said President Cleve-
lands free trade message to congress
had compacted the republicans
against him, and but for the opposl-
ton of Hon. Sam Randall to his
egregious folly he would hardly have
the support of a single state If he
should seek for reelection.
Prof. Lane was next called on for
a speech, but he excused himself on
the ground that he had nothing to
add to the arguments of the previous
speakers. He expressed his hearty
sympathy with the cause of republic
canism, which was rapturously APP
plauded.
The meeting adjourned at an
early hour, that they might rise
refreshed, as the chairman stated it,
for the arduous work of the conven-
ton to-day.

valley, the central gem in the clus-
ter of rich counties that form that
princely domain, and is the banner
commonwealth of the great north
west i'm all the essentials that 90 to-
wards making it a profitable abiding
place, and a home for the thrifty
farmer, the cunning artisan and the
industrious mechanic.
Rich i'm its agricultural resources,
in its cultivated and uncultivated
lands, in its water powers, and
minerals; rich i'm its colleges and
schools Of learning, and with a
climate unsurpassed for its salubrity,
it presents to the immigrant from
the OVercrOwded states, where cold
winters and hotl summers, with
terrible cyclones, prevail, who
comes to the coast with some
means, advantages that no other
county in Oregon possesses.
Much has been written of this
western country that requires a
stretch of the imagination to COM
prehend, and numerous complaints
are heard from the class who have
been misled by them, so in this
brief sketch the writer desires to
avoid eXageration as to its present
and prospective advantages, asking
those in the east into whose hands
this may fall-particularly those
who have their eyes directed towards
this coast-to peruse it carefully,
feeling that it is not written to lure
immigrants within its borders, but
only as a truthful description of
land which, if it does not "flow
milk and honey" contains within
its bosom wealth and resources equal
to any other country on the Pacific
side of the Rocky mountains.
