We learn that one or two of our
progressive and liberal merchants in
town refused to contribute a cent
towards paying the expense of night
marshal during the winter months.
We are glad TO learn that it was only
one or two of these kind of people, aud
that the amount was raised without
their aid but it is pity that their
property has to be watched the same

pense of keeping the night Waterman.

The people of Sherman and Wasco
counties have an opportunity this
year of electing to tie legislature
men who are in every way deserving
of the confidence bestowed upon
them. They are men of ability,
clean in character, and identified
with the material interests of the
two counties. The campaign this
year promises to be free from mud
singing, as the nominees on all the
tickets are above such dirty prac-
tices. For this reason the voters
will have an opportunity to examine
the qualifications of the various
candidates. Messrs. Moore, Michel,
Huntington and Jones make quar-
tette of which any county may we'll
be proud. By their actions in the
legislature the two courties will be
well served.

HOW 1T STRIKES DEMocRArs.

Judge NoIthup has acce 2ted the
nomination of the gold Republicans
as their candidate for congress. The
contest will be interesting from now
until the election. II is really not
so much matter of principle with
those who have brought out the
judge as it is to make sure the de-
feat of Ellis. Now, if Democrats
will stand solid for Judge Bennett,
his election is assured. The contest
is between Bennett and Northup.
This clipping from the Portland
Chronicle, 4 Democratic weekly,
shows how the Oregonian is playing
into the hands of the Democrats.
There is no hope of Northup's elec-
tion,- but his candidacy makes the
chances of Bennett exceedingly good.
The mantle of virtue in which the
Oregonian wraps itself is very fimsy.
Its bolt and consequent actions have
not been done with view of estab
fishing principle of right, as through
motives of revenge, because of hatred
against the men who opposed it in
the late primaries.
Wasco county did not support Mr..
Ellis in the convention, and we are
free to say he was not our choice.
But he is nominated, and between
himself and Northup has the only
chance of election. Multnomah
county has repudIated Joe Simon.
Let the rest of the state do it as
well.
While making no defense fol Mr..
