WHAT ouR EXCHANGES SAY OF THE POSITION
CT TEE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF OREGON.

Down south the democrats Rave
no use for Weavers here they EN-
brace him. Queer Historian.
The facility with which the dem
ocrsts can eat crow on the cleo
toral question is enough to astound
a dime Esuseum freak.-Astorian.
The eleventh hour fusion be-
tween the democrats and peoples
party in Oregon is the greatest
offense of political Inconsistency
ever practised upon an intelligent
people.-Journal.
The biggest democratic lie o.
this campaign is the statement
that Bob Miller is not eligible. L
is an attempt to take an electo1
| from the republicans by bareface(
lying.-Oregon State Journal.
The democratic newspapers wh'
| were berating Pennoyer a few
days ago are strangely quiet nov
since the democratic state centra
committee has also "bolted'' t.
the peoples party. 1t places then
in very embarrassing situation

A GOOD HINT.

Now that all danger from the
cholera is passed, the New York
lawyers are delving into the books
to find out how far the quarantine
officials have exceeded their pow
ers, under the laws. 1t appears
that the statutes were very lame
and inefficient and by no means
warranted the extreme measures
taken by DR.. Jenkins. They want
to hold the county responsible for
the losses inflicted on the COM
panies. It is all bosh. No jury
will listen to tIrem. No court will
know them. The old maxim "salus
populi suprema est lex'' will floor
Them. But the matter has good
hint for our Oregon Legislature
next winter. Let the judiciary
committees look up the question
and frame an ironclad statute with
dictatorial powers in an emer-
gency-W Welcome.

1yEA nER's NAME oMMITTED.

Several contemporaries are no.
ticing the fact that Governor PEN
noyer did not mention the name
of Weaver in his address at Rose
burg. This is very creditable of
the governor. Weaver's name
should not be mentioned in re-
spectacle body of men, many OF
whom had formerly been demo-
Gratis, whom Weaver once called
thieves, murderers, ETC., and evi-
IDENTIFY the governor was of the
same opinion. His antipathy to
Cleveland has blinded him SO
much that he has undoubtedly
gone too far with the Lease
Weaver outfit. so far that he man.
ifests his disgust for them on the
stump. Mrs. Lease and Weaver
have wrecked what little political
force that they had created, and
Gov. Pennoyer, as we'll as every
body else, can see it. The
governor is sadly in the brine,
that he prepared for picking
s.Clevelandites."

Tammany is showing its tricks
in the democratic campaign this
year, and citizens who delight in
honesty and homer in politics can
form a conception of the manner
in which affairs would be managed
if that corrupt ring should dictate
the policy of the party in the fu-
ture.-Times-M -Mountaineer.
1t may not be generally known,
but it is a fact, nevertheless, that
Col. r. A. Miller is a candidate for
the democratic nomination in '94
for governor of Oregon. 1t is to be
hoped that his ineligibility to fill
the Office of presidential elector
will not apply to that of governor,
in case of his election.-Roseburg
Plaindealer.
The democratic papers call put
ting Nathan Pierce on their ticket
'spractical politics" J" 1t may not ap
pear so practical after election

a democrat could indorse a people

it at present, unless he is ignoran
or unprincipled, and stand apo,

tical," if it is called so.-Capita

IT will be welcome news to
steamboat men on the upper Will
lamette, that there is a probabil
ity the next congress will make an
appropriation to establish COM
splete system of beacon lights
along the river between Portland
and Eugene, provided $4,000 can
be secured for that purpose. The
bill has been already favorably re-
ported upon. In a recent inter
view at Salem, Congressman Her.
mann had this to say about the
improvement of the Willamette :
"We received larger allowances
this season for the improvement
of the Willamette between Port
land and Eugene than were ever
before secured, and if these appro-
priations be judiciously expended
another appropriation of like
amount by the 53rd congress will
very materially assist navigation
at all seasons of the year between
the points named. In addition to
this, a favorable report has been
secured from the committee on
commerce, now pending before
the house, for the establishment
of system of beacon lights OH the
river, the cost of which would be
$4,000.

GOOD THINGS BY HARRISON.

"The foundation of our society
is in the motto that every man
shall have such wages as will en-
able him to live decently and COM
tortably, and rear his children as
helpful and safe and useful Amer
ican citizens"
sThe disastrous effects upon our
workingman and workingwoman
of competition with cheap, under
paid labor are not obyiated by
Keeping the cheap worker over the
sea, if the product of his cheap
labor is allowed free competi-
ton in our market"
eve should protect our people
against competition with the prod
ucts of underpaid labor abroad, as
we'll as against the coming to our
shore of paupers, laborers under
contract, and the Chinese labor.
The principle of protection, the
intelligent recognition in the franz
ing of our tariff laws of the duty
to protect our American indus
tries and maintain the American
scale of wages by adequate dis
eliminating duties on the one
hand, and on the other a denial ol
the constitutional right to make
our customs duties protective, OF
the assertion of the doctrine that
free competition with foreign
products is the ideal condition te
which all our legislation should
tend.''-Benjamin Harrison.

WILL NOT Re cLEHELANDITEs.

DIR. A. J. Overbolt and Silas
Hauchett, two of the electors on
the Weaver ticket, have refused
to permit their names to be used
at the head of the Cleveland DEM
ocratic ticket. Their action is
embarrassing, in view of the
fact that the Clevelandites have
withdrawn their electors and sub
stituted populist electors.

EVERY VOTE MAY COUNT

AS the day OF eseclio'i "p
breaches, republican prospects In
The doubtful states brighten. There
mas been extraordinary reglstra-
tion in New York, in the country
as we'll as ia the city. This has
been in former years a guaranty
of republican success. There has
been a campaign of extraordinary
activity and vigor in Indiana, and
the presidents friends make no
doubt that he will carry the state.
Under ordinary circumstances, sue
cess in either New York or Indiana
would insure his election. Unaer
ordinary circumstances, he could
succeed without either if he carried
Connecticut and West Virginia.
But calculations based on ordl-
nary circumstances are upset by
growth of the fusion movement In
the west in the last few weeks:
This movement is an outgrowth OF
the very favorable republican
prospects it disturbs. The demo
Gratis are in despair of electing their
candidate at the popular election.
In half a dozen western states they
have arranged to give their votes
to the peoples candidates Tor
elector, in the hope of defeating
Harrison and throwing the choice
into the house. This is at once a
confession and threat. 1t COM
plicates a simple situation. 1t
threatens a possible loss OF electors
here and there, enough in the ag-
yregate to Offset republican success
in Indiana, or even in New York
About forty electoral votes are
more or less involved in the fusion
arrangements so far made.
This is enough to introduce a
wide margin of uncertainty into
the contest and to seriously dis.
turb calculations based upon pre-.
vious standing of states considered
certain and reasonable probabil'
tiles in states classed as doubtful
1t makes a close contest possible
so far as Harrison is concerned
Without fusion, the majority
would probably be large one way
or the other. With large mum
Der of votes for Weaver in the
west, even the preponderance o
New York would not insure liar
rison a large majority. He may
carry every state considered surely
republican and New York besides
and still lose enough scattering
electoral votes to Weaver to MAKE
his majority perilously small
These considerations make i
important to win and save for hin
every electoral vote possible
The contest may be decided by
small margin. Every vote will
count. Harrison is beaten, if HI
does not get majority; Cleve
land is elected, no matter hov
small his vote, if he can proven
Harrison from getting a majority
This is equally important to re
publlcans aud populists, to thos
who want to elect Harrison and t
those who want to defeat Cleve
land. Every vote given t
Weaver increases the chance {
the election, by the house of rer
resentatives, of the man most OF
jectionable to Weaver's SUI
porters.-Oregonian.

SEN. MITCHELL'S PLAIN TALK.

Senator Mitchell in speech be-
fore Portland audience last week
gives the peoples party a little
sound advice, and scores the desn
ocrats for their political trickery.
Read what he says on the subject.
81 am surprised to find our demo-
cratic friends in such disorgan-
lied condition. To quote the Ian
euage of we'll known Oregon
gentleman, tthey don't seem to;
know what they are at, One Of!
them told rae a story to illustrate
their attitude. He said they re-
mind him of a man who tied him
self to the tail of a bull and was run
away with by the animal. AS he
was bounding from the high
places on the bulls tail a friend
asked him where he was going.
4 don't know was his answer;
TASK the bull.' Our democratic
friends in this state are in the po-
sition of that man. 1t has come
to such a pass with their party
that it has no principles upon
which it can stand before the peo-
pie. On the eve of election it
hauls down its own flag and hoists
that of the party that 1t has abus-
ed time and again, and it asks the
honest democrats of Oregon to
cast one-fourth of their influence
to elect a representative of the or.
ganization they have so emphat
ically denounced. l will call the
attention of the democrats in this
audience to what Weaver-the
presidential candidate you are
asked by your party to support
said about you as democrats. L
you think you can vote for Mr.
Pierce after hearing his opinion O
you-well, you are unusually for
giving"
The senator then read some ex
tracts from the Congressional Re
cord, 5Oth congress, first session
volume 19, page 6146. The.
show that in various places il
Iowa, during the years of 1865
General Weaver publicaly referre'
to the democratic party as "a rank
traitorous horde, whose acts com
prise murder, treason, theft, arson
. fraud, perjury, and all other crime
possible for an organization t
connive at" On the floor of cor
gress General Weaver admitte
that he had made those state
ments about the democracy.
"Now, democrats Of Oregon,
4 resumed the senator, "thls littl
committee here in town asks yo
to vote for this man for presiden
l Are you going to do it 2 The oil
a ject of asking you to do this is n
: mystery. The whole business
3 trick. 1t is being played a
: over the country. The real all
0 of the democratic party's endorse
e ment of the peoples party cal
4 didate is to get enough Weave
d electors seated to throw the ele'
), ton into the democratic house
h representatives. How does thu
:, strike the republicans who hay
Il entered the third party becaus
n they honestly believe that the
h could better their condition by (
is doings How do they relish Il
,. idea of being deluded into votir
n for Cleveland and no one elses

l. again rally themselves within tt
r old party that is not afraid

It the people and ask for their su

Annual Convention Of the Farmers
Alliance.

IT WILL MEET IN THE AUGUSTA COURT
HOUSE.
Through the efforts of Maj. Geo. Chris
man of Rockingham, and Capt. E. A. Full
cher of Augusta, Staunton has been select
ed as the place for holding the annual State
convention of the Alliance. The convention
will be in session here Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday, August 10th, 18th and
18th. It will number about 200 delegates
if all the sub-Alliances are represented.
A motion by MI. j. D. Crowle in the
City Council, Tuesday night, rendering the
free use of the Opera House to the conven-
ton for it's sessions, was defeated by vote
of to 3, and a resolution was adopted in
structing the committee on Public Grounds
and Buildings to provide a suitable place
for the holding of the convention. On
Wednesday, through the efforts of MI. j..
G. Scheffer of the Virginia Hotel, the coun-
ty court house Was secured for the Alliance
meeting.
1t is high time that the city of Staunton
had a place for public meetings. The lack
of it drives many public bodies from hold
ing their meetings here, as well as leaves
our own citizens without a place for public
deliberation. A market house with large
hall over it would, IN rents, pay the city a
good interest on the Investment.

THE PILOT LAWS AND THE DIsCRIMINA-

THE PILOT LAWS AND THE DISCRIMINA-
TON AGAINST NEWPORT NEWS BY
THE BRAZILIAN STEAMSHIP LINE.
At a meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce held last Friday night, the resolutions
pending before the Cham Der endorsing the
Frye anti-compulsory pilotage law now be-
fore congress was argued. This law propos-
es to do what the Virginia legislature has
refused year after year for many years to do
abolish the compulsory pilot law as re-
CARDS coastwise sailing vessels and thus
greatly impair if not cripple the Virginia
Pilot Association. The question was argued
Friday night by Col. r. c. Marshall OF
Portsmouth, and Capt. Jno. N. Opie of
Staunton, ON the side Of the Pilot Assocla-
ton by Mr.. B. B. Munford on the side OF
the Richmond Chamber of Commerce
which endorses the Frye law, and by Mr..
H. A. Tabb of Richmond, a large employer
of vessels, against the compulsory pllotage.
The chief positions taken on behalf OF the
Pilot Association were that the tax on
freight was infinitesimally small-about
CWOlll VI d CCllC Oll q WILL, oAesO ~ "ssS ~
dangerous step in the direction OF centrall-
cation to ask congress to extend it's leglsla-
ton over the waters of Virginia that had
been left to the local legislation OF the State,
that the foreign commerce OF Virginia
ports was not yet large enough to sustain
a competent pilot service and justify the
abandoning of the taxation of the coastWlse
shipping to that end, and that to do so
would cripple the pilot service and render
it less efficient. The chief grounds taken
by the opponents Of the Pilot Association
were that the tax under the compulsory
pilot laws was unjust as the services OF
pilots were not used on the coastwise ship
ping, and that it's payment drove off ship
ping from the Southern States authorizing
it,
At the close of the discussion the speak
ers retired and the discussion was contln-
ued for few minutes by the members OF
the Chamber. Messrs. W. A. Burke and
J. w. Todd pressing the endorsement OF
the Frye bill, and Mr.. II. c. Tinsley oppos-
ing it. The Chamber endorsed the bill by
a vote of to 4.
The Chamber then considered a resolu-
ton protesting against the payment OF any
subsidy by the National government to the
Wins Brazilian Steamship line if it persls-
ted in it's discrimination against the port
of Newport News. The resolution was
reported by Mr.. W. A. Burke and opposed
by Mr.. J. w. Todd. 1t was adopted with
but one dissenting voice.
