Republican Harmouyl

A persistent effort is being made bythe bossesjn Oregon to fobt HippieMitchell upon the people of tbh State,against their will and better judgment,and to get up a boom for the boss big-

amist for the senate in 1884.The Wasco Sun. in a labored article,

accuses the eighteeu Republican mem-

bers who had the manhood to . standout against bis election in 1882, of sell-

ing out and betraying their party. Tothis Hon. T. W. Davenport makes thefollowing cutting reply, through thecolumns of the Times-Mountaine- er:

did not dure to show their snake headsin daylight If the Republican partyof to-da- y ; accepts and swallows these

A Letter Prom Johnny.

The following interesting letter wasreceived just before going to press, fromone of the country districts. From thewriting and epelling we judge it is thecomposition of a very little boy.

This ic fine wether it looks like rain,the last time it rained it made the roads

muddy. Pa wont take out. the newhack and Matas to stay at home whenPa goes to town. Ma gets even on Pafor not taking out the hack so that shecan go to town too, by talking to thehired man-whs- n he comes into dinnerand ho dent git as much plowing doneas Pa thinks he ouht to. Pa comehome about the middle of the after-noo- n

one day last week and John was justhitching up the horses to go to, plowing.You bet Pa was mad! I think Ma

ought to go to town whenever Pa does,

Smith, the ' convict who struck WardenCollins during the. recent prison escape, hashad the death sentence pronounced uponhim. He is quite a young man and was shotby the guard at the time in the arm, whichhas since been amputated. The executionwas put off until December, to allow bis at-torn-

to present the case , to the Supremecourt We have no quarrel with law thatmakes the offense of capital crime to assaulta guard of the prison with a dangerousweapon. But it seems unjust to n.ake an

exaarple of this crippled boy, who is a mera

youth, and let the old, hardened criminalswho planned the outbreak, go without pun-ishment.

Ben. Holladay, of railroad fame, has

brought suit against his brother, Joe inthe Circuit court of Multnomah coun-

ty, to a large amount .of real

property which he deeded td him at thetime his financial affairs became em- -

barrassed. The consideration for thedeed was $160,000. The property isnow worth $2,000,000. Ben. claimsthe deed was intended as a mortgage.

During the transfer of - the insanefrom East Portland to the asylum atSalem, John Ryan escaped from the

keepers. He was found the next dayand taken charge of by the - sheriff ofMultnomah county. The sheriff soonafter received a dispatch from Salem

saying that after arriving and gettingsettled down in the new asylum' theyhad missed Ryan. It would appearfrom this that the unfortunates are notcared for as they should hi and indi-

cates that this .branch ,of the publicservice needs looking after.

The Republican Part. '

The Oregonian foi Wednesday says:"The Republican party is at present ina curious position. It is approachinga presidential election without any rig-orous policy, and almost without an is-

sue upon which it can appeal to votersfor support It has not . even an aggressive element within itself, like thosewho pushed the third term on the oneside and opposed it on the other.

Since 1 880 many of its leaders havebeen retired by the votes of the peopleor have leunged to the rear of their ownaccord and ceased to show piuch,deter- -

mination to do more than to maintainthe power they now have."

Ibis istruly deplorable for the partyof great ideas. But then' it shouldconsole itself from the faet that ic hasGrant left, and the policy of publicplunder that has held together thethieves who have controlled the organ-ization and manipulated the govern-ment for lo those may years. Thenwith Grant for another third, term, anda few Ku Klux outrages, got up forthe occasion and the bloody shirtthrown to ?the bi eeze, it might get up

respectable aggressive Reepubacancanvass. -

None willadmit your right, under this ruling, tocall us 'traitors," "perfidioua.wreches,""members of the Arnold brigade," orany dthor epithet which seems to suityour humor at the time, but it seemsto'me that you are outside of the lim-

its when you assert that Mr. Mitchellwas deceived and sold out

t by theeighteen ; members .of the, Legislaturewho could not be induced by argumentor promise of office, or be constrained

by caucus rule to support him for thesenate. I do not believe that you canname one member who steadily refusedto support, who deceived Mr. Mitchellor sold him out. .

Mr. Lang, that averment of yoars isnot true. Those mn never told Mr.M. that they would support him for the

Senate, either before or after theirelection te the Legislature; The ninemembers from this county (Marion),seeing that they were accused of being"set up" in the interest of Judge Boise,said publicly that they had made no

promises to any one; had no under- -

standinjj, directly. or indirectly, "with

any one; that they wero entirely freeto select any person they might thinkthe best man for the placa under thecircumstances. Until further advice,I shall believe that you have no particleof evidence going to show that thother persons composing the solid

eighteen or seventeen ever betrayed or

deceived, or sold out Mr. Mitchell.Some politicians are easily deceived.

They take a shake of the head, a nodof recognition or any sign of friendshipas a pledge of support. Probably thesolid eighteen was composed of gentle-men who bespoke Mr. Mitchell'kindlyand fully recognized his services to theState and to the Republican party, and

yet I presume Mr. M. did not considersuch practice of the ordinary amenitiedof life in the light of pledge to any service more than gentlemanly conduct- -

It is likely' that you do not fully un-

derstand the solid 'eighteen, and itwould be well enough; to institute an

inquiry to ascertain if you have notmisrepresented them. . .
