PotarIoAL prseossroN.

We print this week the reply Of q
democrat to Mr.. Geer's article Of
last week. We have TO shorten
these communication up some,
when II can be done without alter
ing the sense. We allow ourself to
write only short editorials, as rule,
and we do not like to print more
than one or two over a column in
one week. We must say to our
good democratic friend that our one
other rule Is based on the fact that
we are running republican paper,
and therefore cannot give up our
space for campaign arguments to
make political propaganda for any
other opposing political party. But
any fair argument OIL any subject
will not be excluded when we have
room, especially when It as spicy as
Mr.. Geer and Mr.. Taylor make
them. Only we must have control
Of our space, as the JOURNAL Is got
ten rp for all kinds of readers, and q
large number regard space taken for
political controversy as wasted any
how. When the JOURNAL gets to
be as big as it may be some day we
can chunge these rules perhaps.
We want te impress all our hOnored
correspondents, and we are glad TO
say we have some Of the fairest men
In all parties contributing to the
JOURNAL, that brevity IL essential

sions. So come right to the point

FAIR POLITICS.

There Ia one principle that we
would impress on republicans,a gov
ernlng principle at the coming pri-
marles. That Is fair politics. The
republican party Is the champion Of
fair elections and q full and free
ballot for every man In the nation,
rich or poor. black or white, and
have that bollot honestly counted.
The republican party is the only
champion we know of, in the
national sense. It's platforms and
itsleading men In congress are sound
on this question. The republican
party is founded on the principle of
equal political rights 10 all citizens,
and II wants the poorest and the
humblest black man of the South
TO be as free az bird TO vote any
ticket he chooses, aud II believes
under the constitution he should be
protected In no doing, II II takes a
regiment of soldiers at every poll
lng place In the South 10 secure
him that right. No other party
champions this grand principle Of
political freedom under the con-
stltution.
Now this principle applies Just rs
well 10 the primary elections Ia Ore
gon as II does IN Mississippi. Let
the primaries be conducted rs fair
and the record be as free aud as
sacred rs tho voting for president.
For delegates and representatives 10
the different conventions let fair
men, who are representatives OF the
masses Of the people, be selected
without interference or dictatlon
from any source. Select Intelligent
men who stand well with their
nelghbors aud who are not object
