Is not another president elected for
long number Of years who has affiliated
with the party, and if Democracy
gains complete control of both houses
of congress, Republicans have no need
to be ashamed of the record from 1861
to 1892. The government has existed
for over century, and there is no
more prosperous epoch In its history
than that during which Republican
principles have been followed both il
the executive and legislative branches.
We say this fully aware that the
popular vote cast last Tuesday was IN
favor of change. There is no more
fear that the party will disintegrate
after the defeat this year than there
was after 1856 or 1884. The doc
trines on which it Is founded are as
lasting as the hills, and are the only
ones upon which free institutions can
firmly and safely rest. They have
been tested in different emergencies,
and in every instance have been sue
cessful

To Keep Out the Cholera.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10-In view of the
still lingering possibility of fresh out
break of cholera In European countries
IN the early spring, and the consequent
danger of it's introduction into the United
States, officials of the treasury depart
ment have determined to maintain the
utmost vigilance in guarding against the
entrance of people or merchandise that
might possibly convey germs of the
dreadful epidemic. To this end, immi-
grafton will be generally discourage ed and
the provisions of the presidents procla-
nation of September /, imposing quar-
antiDe of 90 days on all suspected immi-
grants, will be vigorously enforced. The
transportation companies have been
given to understand that the department
reserves the right 20 remove the restric-
ton ia special cases calling for such ac-
ton. According to official construction,
all aliens who come to this country for
permanent residence are immigrants, and
will be treated as such regardless oi
whether they travel In the cabin or steer
age.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The returns of the
American election were received too late
for the morning papers TO comment on
the result. The Pail Mall G0zette this
afternoon says both the merchants and
unemployed workingmen of England
have reason to rejoice at the Democratic
victory, as with the possibility of re-
opening the American markets TO the
goods of England, capitalists will get a
chance to procure some return on their
money invested, and the workingmen
will have an opportunity to obtain de
cent prices for labor without the neces :
iiy OF striking.
The ST. James Gazette says some salts
faction is felt in England at Cleveland 5
going back to the White House. The
Blaine. Harrison regime, it adds, Is far
from agreeable TO British interests, and
the majority of the American people be-
lieve 1t equally prejudiciai to themselves

Ex-senator Edmunds,

NEW YORK, Nov. 10-Ex- Senator
George F. Edmunds, of Vermont, who
came home from Europe last week espec
tally to vote, was in New York to day
The overwhelming Democratic victory in
the presidential election completely up
set hin. He said:
Il have rot yet had time to study the
surprising Democratic victory. My faith
in protection and the benefits derived
from the Mckinley law were so strong
that the result is q source of great dis
appointment. Thought President Har-
rison would win on the tariff issue and
the currency issue. But the result of the
election seems to show that the people,
or at least the voters, have gone wrong
on the tariff. This is my impression after
hurried examination of the vote. I
think that many Republicans who may
not believe in high protective tariff
voted for Cleveland, so that his election
is not altogether Democratic victory
l do not think that the result will change
the policy, or influence, or vote of the
Republican party, nor affect protection
l believe the Republican party will be
Just as strong as ever in 1885,"

Defeat is frequently beneficial to 9
party, and often has the effect to rid II
of barnacles and stimulate its membe
to greater diligence. If the rebuke
received at the ballot-box last Tues
day acts this way on the Republican
organization it will be blessing, even
if it is disguised in the unwelcome
garb of disaster. With one exception,
for over thirty years every administra
tion has been Republican, and, while
the principles advocated and the leg
islation enacted have been for the best
interests of the American people, the
party has attracted to it those whose
only object was selfish aggrandisement
and desire tor public Office. These
will naturally follow in the wake of
victory, and all honest, patriotic Re
publicans may feel thankful that they
will no lenger hang around the ranks
of the party. "Public Office is public
trust" is good motto, and no politi-
cal organization can adopt better
one. In the hour of its affliction, if
the grand old party will purify itself
from contaminating influences such as
bossism, the caucus and machine rule,
it will enter the campaign of 1896
stronger than ever.

Every Republican and Democrat
who have cast sheif lot with the Peo-
ple's party because they believed the
principles advocated are most sub
servient to the best interests of the
government should resent with indig-
nation the efforts being made to use
them as the means by which the cor
rupt Tammany ring of New York poll
ticians can get control of the govern
ment. An honest difference of opin-
ion respecting national policies is the
privilege of freemen; but trickery and
chicanery to secure votes are methods
only resorted to by dishonest poll
ticians. The order of Chairman Muir
ply for Democrats to sacrifice their
principles and vote tor the Weaver
electors is an insult to every lntelli-
gent member of the party, and is only
used to thwart the expression of the
sovereign people of Oregon. This
comes from Boss Harrity of New York
city, and emanated from Tammany.

The Next House

New YORK, Nov. o-At 1 80 O'Clock the
reports so far received indicate that the Dem
ocratic majority in the next national house Of
representatives has been but little, if any de-
creased. In New York, the Republicans ap-
pear to have elected but 10 of the "a repre-
sentatives, Democratic gain of one. New
Jersey and Connecticut have not apparently
changed their present division of representa-
ton, except that the Democrats in New Jersey
have gained an additional member accorded
by the new apportionment. The south has
rolled up almost solid delegations from every
state. Alabama has an additional member IN
the sgd congress, and it is Democratic gain,
also Arkansas. Georgia gains new member
and RECEIVERS the district now represented by
Watson, the alliance member. The Repub-
ican gains are one in New Hampshire, eight
in Ohio, and one in Oregon. Although the
Republicans carried Rhode Island on the
presidential ticket, the reports are that no Sc
lection for congressman was made, necessi-
tating another election.
THE UNCERTAIN STATES.
Owing to the absence of reports from the
Central and Western states. and the uncer-
tainty as to the results in the congressional
districts, it is impossible to even attempt to
approximate the total representation of the
several parties in the next house, but It will be
Democratic.

Washington.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. S-The result in
Washington can only be estimated, but con-
servative estimates are that Harrison carried
the state by over 5000, likewise McGraw and
the Republican state ticket. Wilson and
Doolittle, Republicans, for congress, are cleo
ted by about the same majority.
Three precincts complete and II precincts
incomplete, out of IS in the city of Seattle
give Harrison 322, Cleveland 277, Weaver
I46, McGraw 6o8, Young zoo, Snively 243
and Greene 80.
The count is very slow and will not be
completed before tomorrow night. The day
was cool and cloudy and everything was quiet.
The Australian system was very slow, but
satisfactory. Long lines of men stood at each
of the As polling places. Reports from all
over the state indicate that heavy vote was
polled.
Eagle Gorge precinct, this county, voted as
follows: Harrison 7, Cleveland 10, Weaver
I, McGraw 7, Snively II, Doolittle and
Wilson each, Carroll 9, Munday 10.

Minnesota.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 9-The count In this
city is extraordinarily Glow. In some
precincts only $50 votes were counted
out of 700 up to 9A.M. These votes and
the meager returns from the state show
the fusion electors are running behind
the regular Democratic electors, and that
the Weaver vote is not heavy. Nelson,
Republican, for governor, it is estimated,
will have at least 10000 plurality. Har-
rlson probably has all the electors.
Eighty two country precincts show net
Republican less of 474 on electors, com
pared with four years ago. At that rate
the plurality at tina. time will be reduced
from $4,000 to about $4,000. On the
state ticket there is a slight Republican
gain over Merriam's 1857 plurality two
years ago.

New York.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9-The latest Tri6-
une extra says the election of president
may devoive on the house of representa-
tives. Congress is Democratic by clear
msjority Of about so. New York is
Democratic by not less than 10000. and
has elected a Democratic assembly.
New Jersey is Democratic by 5000 to
5000, but Kean, Republican, for governor
claims his election. Connecticut is Dem
ocratic by not less than 1000, and has
chosen Democratic governor and legis-
lature. Massachusetts has chosen Har-
rison electors, and probably a Republican
state ticket. All the rest Of New Eng
land is Republican. In the Republican
quarters 1t Is still held to be uncertain
whether or not the solid south IS broken.
The Sun extra says Cleveland has car
ried the solid south, Connecticut by 1000
or more, New York state by A, 900, New
Jersey by 5000, Delaware by over 10000,
Indiana by 5000, Illinois by 10000 Wis
consin by 10000. Weaver has carried
Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Nebraska and
probably South Dakota. The Sun also
claims the house will be more than 100
Democratic. The legislature in New
York is Democratic, insuring a Demo-
cratic successor to Hlscock.

4 PURE BALLOT.


Tomorrow the people of the United
States will exercise the supremest act
of sovereignty ever delegated to free
citizens. and that is the choice of a
chief magistrate of 65,0O0.000 people
by the ballot. That the decision is of
the most vital Importance, and there
fore should be given after the most
careful thought, should be apparent
to every patriotic American citizen. IL
will be admitted by all that the purity
of the ballot is the most su bstantial
support of free institutions, and If this
is not expressive of the individual will
of every freeman then freedom is
farce and sovereignty sham. Suff-
cient time has elapsed since the differ
ent nominations were made for every
elector to have given due consideration
to the platforms adopted, and a fair
and full discussion has been made of
the questions now before the people.
With this preparation, an intelligent
vote would be cast regarding the policy
of the nation for the next four years,
if other conditions were prevailing
But the complications arising from fu'
sion of Democrats and Populists in
some states will make it most difficult
to determine the popular will after the
votes have been counted. If Repub-
licans, Democrats, Populists and Pro-
hibltionists were to vote only for the
candidates of their choice and the
principles which they believe underlle
the best interests of the republic, then
the act of sovereignty tomorrow
would be decisive respecting the rela-
tive strength of the political organiza-
tions nov battling for supremacy; but,
as it is, the verdict will not be conclu-
sive regarding this matter, and the
ballot-box will be used to thwart the
expression of the sovereign people.
Under such circumstances the object
of universal suffrage is not attained,
and however free from other extrane-
GUS influences, the ballot is twisted
into channels to suit the selfish desires
of roliticians

THE TRUE CAUSE.

Judge O'Day said Friday night that
the country was prosperous, and
rounded period very eloquently by
describing in choice language our ad-
vancement; but this is not to be cred
tied to Republican administrative
policies, but to God Almighty and the
untiring energy of American manhood
and womanhood-to bountiful bar
vests and the broad acres that have
been cultivated and made to produce
abundantly. 1t is fair argument to
consider the conditions under which
national prosperity has been enjoyed,
and by that means arrive at a correct
conclusion of the cause; for it IS not to
be presumed that the deity has been
especially benefcent to the United
States more than other countries, and
that as result we enjoy peace and
plenty, when, under the same condi-
tions, different nations would have
suffered disaster. In 1865, when the
war closed, with public debt of over
three billions hanging over the people
as the cost of the civil war, and our in
dustries crippled, if we had followed
the Democratic doctrine of Equitable
adjustment" the national credit would
have been injured. Again, if the
Morrill, tariff bill had not been adopt
ed, this debt would never have been
as nearly liquidated as it is, for
Democratic orators said at the time
that it was burden which would be
felt for generations yet unborn. Still
later, if resumption of specie payments
had not been adopted, our currency
would have continued in deprecated
state, ard capital would not have been
invested in such an unstable country.
The history Of the past thirty years
may be canvassed in this same manner
to find the reasons that the United
States overcame the most gigantic re-
bellion of modern times, established
its credit, paid its debt and inaugu-
rated industries, and became pros
porous and happy people; and every
one of the factors would be found to
have emanated from the Republican
party. On the contrary, it would also
be found that every measure originated
and passed by Republican congresses,
which have stimulated progress, have
been opposed by Democrats, both in
the halls of the national legislature
and in the platfarms drafted by the
party in conventions, from rhe prose-
cu.ion of the war for the preservation
of the union to the Mckinley bill. If
facts could be blotted from the pages
of history, and the memory of many
living witnesses be entirely impaired,
it would be possible for Democratic
speaker to interest an audience by
panegyric upon American manhood
and womanhood; but the determined
opposition of the Democratic party to
the craftsmanship of such men as Lin
coin, Chase, Morrill,, Sherman and
Mckinley is too well-known to many
now living to be covered up by an elo-
quent peroration. These facts will
always remain incontrovertible. The
prosperity of the United States since
the terrible civil war has been caused
by the wise legislation of the Repub-
lican party, and in every instance
these measures have been opposed by
the Democracy.

If Oregon Democrats had carried
out the orders of Mr.. Murphy, chair
man of the central committee, this
state would have given her electoral
vote to Mr.. Weaver; but as it is she
still remains in the Republican col
umn. No blame can be attached to
Democrats for supporting party prin-
ciples. and we should be in a much
more tranquil condition If the party in
other portions of the country had done
the same. When elections are carried
by strict party votes the result is in

gannation; but "fusion" makes this
very uncertain.

Bids for the construction of the
locks at the Cascades will be let in a
few days, and the greater attention
should now be paid to the portage
railroad from this city to Cello. This
should be undertaken by the state,
and the next legislature will make the
necessary appropriation for that pur-
pose if our people evlnce sufficient
earnestness, in the matter. Every
community east of the Cascade noun
tains is interested in this great i'm
provement, and the press should be a
unit in impressing upon the minds OF
the people its Importance. But few
weeks will elapse before the legisla-
ture convenes, and there is no time to

work for the interests of this region

ters of the greatest Importance to our
development and prosperity that re-
quire attention, and there should be
an united effort in this direction by all
people in this community. An open
river will be as beneficial to Demo-
Gratis and Popullsts as to Republi-
cans or Prohibitionists, and, as
it may be considered certain
the improvement at the Cascades
will be prosecuted with vigor as
soon as the contract is let, the greater
interest should be manifested in a
portage road around the Instructions
between this city and Cello. The
next legislature should be petitioned
for an appropriation for this purpose,
and Eastern Oregon is entitled to this
recognition from the state. Western
Oregon has nearly every public insti-
tuition, and the region east of the Cas-
cades should not hesitate to ask for a
sufficient amount to relieve the pro-
ducers temporarily from the oppress-
i've railroad freight rates until the
more substantial improvement can be
made by the government. Every
Democratic and Republican paper In
Eastern Oregon should throw aside
all political chickering's, and unite in
strenuous effort until the conyening of
the legislature to procure an appropri-
alton for a portage road from The
Dalles to Cello.
