A CORRECTION.


The following communication seems
to be for the purpose Of refuting the
statements contained in report
concerning number Of youthful
boxers who were reported to indulge
in semi-occasional boxing matches. 1t
Is pleasure to know that the state
ment regarding the respectability of
the parents was not erroneous.
EAST SALEM,
near Court and Thirteenth streets,
March 13, 1896.
EDITOR JoURNAL:-1 see COM
munication in your issue Of yesterday
in which you say there is an organized
sparrlng club, and a number of state
ments, some OF which are true, but
the most are fabrications. There is
barn here Chats true.) On March I
a number of the neighbor's children
played they had little show, speak
ing and other sports. There were
three boys of us, and two of the three
put on a pair of old gloves and spared.
But there was no knock out, as you
speak Of no club, no truth in the
whole write-up except the statement
that our people are respectable people.

THE MARION DEMOCRATS.


Marion county Democrats assembled
In very respectable numbers as
county convention last Saturday at
Salem. They were as intelligent and
orderly political assemblage as one
would like TO see. They seemed to
have met for a well-de6ned purpose
which they kept in view. Long be-
fore the convention adjourned 1t was
apparent TO spectators that they
would not behold the usual manifesta-
tions Of boylsh pranks and brotherly
affection.
There was a steadier hand at the
helm. T. n. Derby had been
at work for a few weeks bringing
order and system into the dlsordered
ranks. The usual set-to of factions
was avoided. Mlschief-makers we're
avoided. Klckers were sat upon.
When the chairman had concluded a
carefully considered speech, the proper
delegates made the appropriate
motions. The convention unfolded
itself in business like way.
Mr.. Derby and the other leading
lights of.the party are to be congrat-
ulated on their success in curbing
the conflicting elements in their
party. For number Of years Demo-
cratic conventions have been the
laughing stock of the county The
Democrats have redeemed themselves
In the eyes Of the people and shown
themselves capable of conducting a
self-governlng parliamentary conyen-
tlon.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The Marion Democrats departed
from their usual platform OF exalta.

OF their opponents. Not a word In
appreciation Of the Cleveland admins

tlon of the Republican state
government or even the Legislature,
no alluslon to their tlme-honored
party traditions or the lnlquitous
high tariff What does II mean2
They did go 10 II great deal OF
trouble TO endorse free coinage Of
silver, and so instructed their dele
gates TO the state convention, some OF
whom are single standard men. The
young delegate who voted 10 table

formed as to the program, or he
would not have done so. Many OF the
older heads who are staunch Cleve.
land goldites kept silent or voted for
the free silver resolution.
What does 1t mean9 Simply that
II there Is an opportunity these
gentlemen would be willing TO unite
all the silver elements In the state
under the banner of Democracy. The
temptation to ignore the tarlff, foreign
immigration, the Monroe doctrine, |
state county and municipal reforms,
and all other questions to get into
power once more was too great to be
resisted.
