FACTS AND FIGURES.

In 1850 Abraham Lincoln received l $685..
352 votes. There were east against him
1920, 920 Democratic votes for Douglas and
Breckinridge. If person will put on his
thinking cap for moment and try to find
out on which side of the Uuion these two
and one-quarter million Democrats fought
and bled, he will come to the conclusion
that Mr.. Stillman's statement at the court
house Saturday night, wherein he claimed
that the Democrats had an equal share with
the Republicans in suppressing the rebel
hon, was not so wild and ridiculous as our
Republican brethren would have US believe.
History will bear out MIR. Stilluau's state
ment as absurd as it may have seemed to
some, that as many Democrats as Repubi-
cans enlisted in the union army aud had a
hand in putting down the rebellion. The
blacklist Republican knows this and cannot
conscientiously deny it.-East Oregonian.
The 1920, ,920 Democratic votes cast
against Lincoln were composed of
1,374,664 for Douglas and S47, ,404 for
Breckinridge, not counting 59l,9 800
for Bell. Douglas, in the campaign of
1860, in one of mis- speeches said: 81
will not say that every secessionist-
1.-THE word rebel did not come into use
until after the firing on Ft. Sumter
ED. lis a Breckinridge Democrat;
but 1 will say that every Breckinridge
Democrat is a secessionist," and he was
good authority on the question.
Counting every Douglas Democrat
and we are sorry to say there were
many copperheads in the north who
claimed to affiliate with that party-as
a union man, and Republicans-who
were solidly for the union of the
states-had a majority of 49l, ,249.
The Douglas Democrats will take
the great Douglas words for the status
of the Breckenridge Democrats-who
supported Lincoln in putting down the
rebellion became Republicans, and
nearly all of them have affiliated with
the party ever since. But, it must be
understood, that very many of these
Douglas Democrats still held to the
party organization, and during the
most trying epoch of the nations ex-
istence, did everything conjunction
with Breckenridge Democrats i'm
pair the efforts of Mr.. Lincoln to re-
store the union of the states. As late
as 1864, this disunion Democratic
party met in national convention and
passed a resolution that, "after. four
years of conflict, this war is failure"
10 the student of history the record of
the Democratic party is black and for
bidding in any light, and it is not
to be wondered at that it is trying now
to distort facts to cover its obloquy
during the darkest page of our history.
1t will not be at all surprising if the
claim is not made soon by these his
that Lincoln was Dem
ocrat, and that the rebellion was sup
ported by Breckinridge Republicans
and John Bell Natlonalists.

1t is somewhat gratifying to old Re
publicans, who have been allied to the
party during their political lives, to
read Democratic enconiums on Abra-
ham Lincoln, our martyred president,
after he has been in his grave for over
twenty-five years. During his life
time, he was maligned and abused by
Democrats, and nearly every act of his

It is in order now for the Demo-
cratic press to advocate the peculiar
fitness of their candidates for official
honors, and the peculiar unGtness Of
those on the Republican ticket: This
is the way they do business; but 1t is
not the most successful method, by
any means, with an intelligent people.
The nominations made by the Repub-
lican state convention were Of men
adapted to the positions for which
they were named, and not representa-
tiyes of any particular faction. 1t has
never been the custom of this paper to
abuse opposing candidates, and it
never will. Republicans have good,
strong ticket in the field, and it should
receive the unqualified support of
every man who affiliates with the

The Albany Democrat, of Monday
last, contained damaging charges
against Hon. F. A. Moore, the Re
publican candidate for supreme judge.
Of course this is done for campaign
purpose, or the people would have
heard them before. 1t is a rule of
evidence, that the testimony of an in
terested witness should not have the
same weight as one who who has no
interest in the matter, and in this case
we must consider the Democrats in
terested witnesses, as they are anxious
to elect their whole ticket next June.
We are satisfied Judge Moore will re-
fute these charges as soon as he has an
opportunity.

THE LOUISIANA ELECTION.


A Chicago exchange says the reports
from Louisiana indicate q triumph oi
: the better over the worse element oi
Democracy of that state. The Re.
publican party, which at best could
have had but thin chance for the
election of a governor, foolishly al
lowed two tickets to. be placed in
nomination, and in SO doing made
success impossible. And unquestion-
ably very many Republicans cast their
votes for Mr.. Foster, believing him to
be an honest foe of the lottery COM
pany.
The real fight has been between the
McEnery and the Foster Democrats.
Politically, the election of either of
them would have been devoid of sig
nifcance, for until federsl protection
is given to the Republican voters the
state offices of Louisiana will be filled
by Democrats.
Yet something has been gained by
the election of Foster. He was op-
posed to the state lottery; he was not
acceptable to the ancient aristocracy
Of New Orleans; he comes nearer to
being man of the people than Nc
Emery, and his partial affiliatlon with
the taxpaying people is emphasized by
the election of Mr.. Adams on his
ticket. Mr.. Adams is member of
the farmers Alliance, and was its
nominee for governor, SO that really
the Foster ticket was the ticket of the
anti-lottery Democrats and of the
Farmers Alliance. while the McEnery
ticket was the ticket of the New Or

Horse Thieves captured.

Los ANGELES, April 27.--Ed. Brown,

and the latter at San BernardIno, charged
with horse stealing. The detectives are
satisfied that the men were concerned in
the robbery OF the Southern Pacific Ex-
press near Ceres, Calf, September 4th
last, at which time Detective Harms was
shot and dangerously wounded, and a
requisiton will be made to bring Brown
to this state.

Reports from Buffalo would seem to in
dlcate that Sheriff Angus and Jack Flagg
and their sympathizers are running
things with high hand. The foreman
of the Echo has been warned not to run
his press, and the acting editor, st. Clair
Malloy, was brutally assaulted by Flagg
yesterday. The same report says the
rustlers having notes due at the bank
have enforced the renewal of them at the
muzzle of revolvers.

Springer, the Democratic free trade
leader in congress, when asked how he
proposed to supply the loss of revenue
which would follow free wool, binding
twine and cotton ties, said that the
increase upon woolen goods would be
so immense as 20 insure as much reve-
nue. as before. Let Eastern Oregon
wool growers realize that Democrats
purpose to bring free foreign wool in
competition With theirs and then bring
enough woolen goods, manufactured
out of foreign wool with foreign labor,
and they certainly have gloomy pros

The action of Senator Dolph On the
Geary Chinese blh is being severely
criticised by some of our Democratic
exchanges, and this Is being done for
the purpose of influencing the election
next June. 1t is well-known fact,
and the record of Mr.. Dolph while in
the senate will prove it. that in every
instance he has supported reasonable
Chinese exclusion; but he is man of
intelligence, and possesses the courage
of his convictions.

and Manager Glrard insisted on him
keeping his seat. Wade stepped over his
seat to make his exit, whereupon Glrard
struck him on tine head with club and

and it is feared he will die. A bowling

United states Consul Fired Upon.

New YORK, April 27-Mall advices
from La Guayra, Venezuela, April Goth,
say: "Philip G. Hanna, United States
consul to La Guayra, was fired upon by a
policeman in the streets of La Guayra at
9;20 o'clock last Wednesday night. The
bullet whizzed unpleasantly close to the
consul, but did not hit him. Mr.. Hanna
pounced upon the policeman, demanding
what the shot meant. When the police
man saw whom he had fired upon be was
greatly disconnected and begged for
mercy. On the following day the Amer
icaD consulate was besieged by govern
ment officials anxious to apologize for
the unfortunate incident. Mr.. Hanna
assured the officials that he looked upoa
the affair as mistake and bore the un-
fortunate policeman no ill-wlll."

The election of Hon. w. r. Ellis to
congress is we'll assured, for this dis
trict is largely Republican, and the
people know he is in hearty sympathy
with an open river. His opponent,
Hon. Jas. 81. Slater, is no doubt a
good citizen; but the. appropriations
received for the locks while he repre-
sented Oregon in congress were very
meagre, and we desire liberal ones
hereafter. These will be secured by
Hon. W. R. Ellis, in conjunction with
Hon. Binger Hermann, and, besides
Eastern Oregon sheepmen do not want
to be represented in congress by
free-trader like Hon. Jas. III. Slater.

severely criticised. He was buffoon,
tyrant, violator of constitutional
rights, and entirely unfit to be presi-
dent of republic. Now that he is
in his grave, and the policy he pur-
sued has been proved by the logic Of
events 10 have been the only correct
and patriotic one that could have been
followed during the late rebellion he is
praised in the most complimentary
terms. One not acquainted with the
history of the party would be induced
to believe that Lincoln followed the
principles of Democracy, when the
fact is well known that he was dia-
metrically opposed to the party from
the time he declared this country
could not exist half free and half-siave
to the day Of his death. No one can
bestow too much praise on him whom
old-line Republicans consider equal to
Washington; but they dislike that by
pocrlsy of the Democratic party which
vilifed him in his life and pretend to
worship him in his grave; and all for
the sake of blotting out it's past record.

AdYices from Tillamook say that ex-
Postmaster 1. 9. Mason, of that place,
was placed under arrest for forgery by
Deputy United States Marshal Sinnott, of
Portland, and was taken away on the
steamer Elmore to Astoria and thence to
Portland to answer to the charge before
United States Commissioner Deadly. Mrs.
Sophia Severence, present postmistress,
and John Erickson were taken along as
witnesses. Mr.. Mason IS the Republican
candidate for precinct justice, and pre-
viously has borne a good reputation. 1t
is alleged that he forged the name of Err
ickson to money order and embezzled
the proceeds, amounting to several hun
dred dollars, and he is strongly suspected
of other crookeGness in conducting the
postoffice here. 1t is claimed the lnvesti-
CATION of Inspector Patton has shown ex-

The postage stamp craze. which has had
such a firm hold on Americans, young and
old, for number of years. may now result
IN something more than the amusement and

Old postage stamps are highly priced in
China and 100 cancelled stamps will buy a
baby. Accordingly. it Is said, the Roman
Catholics are collecting the old stamps and
purchasing infants, whom they bring up IN
the Christian faith. 1t should be source
of satisfaction to the possessor of stamp
album to know that his collection might be
the means of rescuing several Chinese child
rem from the darkness of heathenism.
