THE PASSING or A CONGRESSMAN.

The Democratic element in this dis
trict is anything but united, and the
indications are that there will be a
spirited contest ahead.
The overwhelming victory Of Col.
TAzEwELL Elicit In the Democrat
lie primary on the End inst, leaves
many sore--headed Democrats who
would likc tn appl- the knife to his
successful lordship.
1t Is plainly evident, too, that Hon.
GEORGE ID. WISE, the defeated aspi-
rant for re election is not in the best
of humor II we are to accredit the
newspaper statement that he declar-
ed he would not throw his delegation
In favor of any one man. The vot-
ers of this Third Congressional Dis
trict are sick OF Democratic inactivi-
ty, and propose to rebuke the policy
of lido nothing"
1t Is plainly evident, that there Is
deep under-current In the Demo
cratic ranks which viii tend to a per-
manent disruption of that organiza-
ton unless something radical is
done to check It.
Discomfort and hard times are ev.
erywhere apparent, and the domi
nant party is rightly held RESPONSE
BILE for 1t.
The retiring congressman has beer
a partisan of the worst stripe and
rewarded his henchmen to the detri
ment of the cause he represented
He was confident of being returned
to congress at least so far as a Dem
ocratic convention was able to hav,
him returned, but his hopes have beer
blighted, and he returns to the hos

terness in his heart. He can nov

Is HE A DEMOCRAT OR A REPUB
LICAN.

A very important question will
present itself at the meeting OF the
Republican District Committee for
this district.
Can q Democrat be a member of
that committee
We call attention to this fact be-
cause Mr.. WRAY t. KNIGHT white,
openly renounced the Republican
party, proclaimed shis adherence to
the Democratic party, voted in the
Democratic primary, and later the
Democratic ticket in a regular cleo
ton.
Can such a person retain his po-
sition upon q Republican commit
tee =?
III SO, what becomes of the organ
ization and how can such a loosely
CONSTRUCTED concern live ?
Moreover, if a white man has this
right, why should not a colored
one be accorded similar privilege
and what colored man is there who
II he had been guilty of similar of
tense would have been allowed tc
remain upon so important commit
tee.
Personally, We have nothing
against Mr.. KNIGHT. From a party
standpoint, he is unfit for the posi-
ton he occupies, and TO allow him t.
pass unnoticed Is to set a precedent
which will cause no end of trouble II
the future.
Again we ask 1t, if a white Repub
lican has a right to reuouuce hi
own party, declare his democracy
go into the Democratic organiza
ton and hold his position In the Re
publican party of the state, VIII,
should not a colored man be entitled
to the same privilege (?

SHALL We NOMINATE A CANDI,
DATE3

The question now presenting It
self TO the Republican voters of this
District In particular and the Re-
publican District Committee in par
ticular is "Shall we nominate a
candidate for Congress ? I"
The Democratic Party is in con-
dition OF apathy and men who were
foremost in making sacrifices for the
good OF the cause are now sulking
In their tents.
Shall we take advantage of the
opportunity and nominate a Repub-
lican or shall we declare it to be In
expedient to make a nomination
and leave the matter to. the dissatis-
fed Democrats, who rally under the
banner of the Populists and the reg
ulars who refused to profit by the
present experience of hard times
In such an event the Republicans
will be expected to hold The balance
of power and do much towards the
settling of the contest.
1t is unquestionably a fact that
the new law to which the name of
WALTON is attached will be worked
for all it Is worth as against the
PopulIstsIand the Republicans, and
fraud will lunquestionably figure
most conspicuously in Richmond
city.
Can we win with such odds
against us and with Col. TAzEwELL
Elicit as the standard bearer OF
Democracy?
These questions require an answer
before it can be intellIgently decided
as to whether or mot a Republican
convention should be held and a
candidate placed in the field.
| Furthermore, whom can we nomi.
nate ?
If the nominee is to run for patro.
mage, rather than for the office, not
much Significance can be ATTACHED
to this question. but II ne is to run
with sincere desire and an earnest
expectation of being elected, We
must necessarily go slow in selecting
the timber which is to be used in the
contest.
IAN unobjectiOnal candidate if voI
want to win " has been the cry.
| A man for Yhom the business mer
and the artisans can vote is the on,
to nominate.
II this be true, where can we fine
the man ?
How Will we unite the rank anC
file of the Republican Party upor
such a candidate ?
j The Democratic managers ar,
watching with interest the attitud,
of the Republicans.
i Some of them are anxious for 8
Republican nomination and ar,
fearful less the Republican strength

event, they declare the situation tc
be more serious.

A FEARFUL MISTAKE.

The news which come from Roa-
noke, Va, is of a most startling
character and would seem to indi-
cate, that In the lynching of THOMAS
SMITH, fearful mistake was made.
1t seems to be fully established that
there IS now grave doubt as to
whether or not he was the person
who struck and robbed the old white
woman. Another man. named Ed.
SMITH, who has been recently arrest
ed was taken before her for identifi-
cation, and she declared that he was

order TO control the patronage, or Is
he to run with the expectation OF
being elected
II the former. then 1t is better that
no nomination be made. II the lat
ter, then on with the conflict.
1t should not be forgotten that we
are seriously hampered by the new
election law, and steps should at
once be taken to see TO 1t that JUS
tice be secured and that dishonest
officials be punished for any attempt
TO deprive voters of the right to
vote.
The names mentioned In connec-
ton with the nomination are Judge
l.. l.. LEWIS, whom it Is asserted cou-
tinues TO decline any such honor;
Col. WM. F. WICKHAM, who is not on
the field to say anything but hest
|, tates to express himself: ex-Post-
master OTIS II. RUSSELL, who de-
clares that he has never aspired to
the honor; Gen. EDGAR ALLAN, who
bows himself out of 1t, and ex-Judgt
EDMUND WADDILL, Jr., who Seems
TO believe n the old adage, ga still
tongue makes a wise head"
The point-blsnk refusal of Gen
3 ALLAN to run and the silence of ex
l Judge WADDTLL make It apparent
to the most thsck-headed voter tina
the last named gentleman has tn
congressional "bee In his bonnet,
an6 will accept the honor II 1t is ten
dered him regardless of whather Ia
Is to run for the patronage or t.
run to be elected.

patiently await the action OF the Re
publican District Committee.

A Land Slide.

The Northern Pacific has suffered
heavily during the recent high water, al
though not as much perhaps as the Union
Pacific. Along the line OF the road there
have been washouts and landslides, and
the following from a Washington ex-
change is description of one of these !:
''From passenger who arrived this
morning from the sound it is learned
that terrible landslide occurred about
IL miles this side of EllensDurgh on SUM-
day night, delaying trains for two days.
The slide occurred in a deep canyon and
the track was covered to depth of fif-
teen to twenty feet with earth and huge
boulders, while the river was half filled
with rocks. The various slides were from
one and half to two miles in length.
The regular passenger train due on Mon
day was delayed until e'clock Tuesday
afternoon.

A Fireman Injured.

T Union Pacific passenger No. was de-
laYed Saturday night and did not reach
here until Sunday morning at>2 o'clock, says
the East Oregonian. The cause was the
ditching of freight Just beyond Wilbur.
The train consisted of 25 cars of wood and
was drawn by two big engines. As the
freight came up to the trestle a band Of
horses was on the track at the small bridge,
one auimal being fast in the bridge. Before
the engines coull be checked to standstlll,
the horse was struck and a catastrophe was
the result. Both engines were thrown from
the track, followed by one car. The bridge
was struck in such manner as to almost
entirely destroy it, at least fo1r bents be-
ing torn out. All the train crew bnt one,
Charles Norris, the fireman, escaped being
severely injured. Mr.. Norris received in
juries which may lay him up for three
months. As he saw that the engines would
jump into the ditch, he concluded to do the
same and alighted on pile of rocks fifteen
feet below. Both his ank les were injured
by the shock 10 manner worse than they
would have been had they been broken.

Damage to the Locks.

Mr.. Geo. P. Morgan. of the Cascade
Locks, Is in the city today. He says in
conversation with MAJOR. Post he learned
tho fact that the works will be constructed
ten feet higher than was formerly intended,
SO as to be above the high water mark of
this season. The present canal and locks
were constructed so that the upper en-
bankment should be 1897 feet above sea
level, and this will be increased to some
thing over l59 feet. All rip rapping on
dry ground will be discontinued, as this has
proved no protection against the wash of
the waves. The work on the gates will be
changed SO as to make arrangements for the
increased height. Parts Cf the steel gates
have already arrived, but these will be
condemned, and new ones ordered to agree
with the enlarged plans. Of course this
loss will fall on the government, and not on
Day Bros. To repair the damages and alter
the works to the revised plans will cause
about years delay, but the extra expense
will not be met by the contractors. and it

Saved From the sea

Down by the sounding sea, at Astoria
not a season passes that several fishermen
are not sacrificed to the sngrY waves, and
1894 is proving no exception. Already
several of these hardy sons of Neptune
have found watery grave beneath the
pillows of the Columbia, and scarcely
day passes that one or more are not
spatched from the jaws of death by the
life-savIng crew or passing ships. The
following from the Historian of last Sat-
urday gives intelligence of the rescue of
two fishermen who were saved after pass
ing oyer the bar N their trail craft: "Mr.
John Fox received letter yesterday from
a well known citizen of Newport, con
veying the welcome news that the two
fishermen carried over the bar some days
ago had been picked up at sea, from the
bottom of their capsIzed boat, by the
steamer Bavariu, on the evening OF the
