How do you like the news from Oregon? GEN. SHERIDAN still lives, and there are now some bopes of his recovery. THE Democracy have turned their backs and shut their eyes on their honored principles," and seized hold of the president's cost 1 tails, and cried, save us Grover or we sink. THE New York legislature has passed a bill, and the Governor has signed it, abolishing hanging for murders committed after Jan. 1889.

Murderers will be executed after that date by electricity instead of the rope. AT the present writing the Democracy have a candidate for presidept, but none for vice-president, neither nave they a p'atform. 'This was the only question before the convention and they stalled on that. When it comes to dealing with subject where principle is involved the Democracy is st sea, and cannot agree. THE Indiana Democratic office holders at Washington gave Col.

Mateon the nomination for nor, but the present indications are that if he had to look to the Democratic members of Congress for his election he would meet an inglorious defeat. The introduction of his arrears pension bill at this inopportune time her estranged bin brotherhood. Matson has tarned the crank of his demagogue organ once too often. THE manner in which the Democrats are tinkering and amending the Mills bill shows plainly the kind of unity of sentiment that exists in the party on the tariff ques-tion. It is not a conviction of the necessity, for the best interests of the country, of the adoption of this bill, that causes them to wrestle with it, but simply an effort to harmonize the party with the President's free trade notions in the absence of any controlling principle.

There could be no better illustration of the motives and dimensions of the party than the factthat it has merged itself into Grover Cleveland. As far as ability and the necessary qualifications to fill the office of President is concerned, there is no man mentioned as probable candidate before the Chicago convention but what is amply equipped to perform the duties of that office. The important queation to decide there is, to select a man who is positively known to be in perfect harmony with the Republican party. He should not even be suepected of entertaining free trade notions, or of being tinctured with mugwumpery; he should not be man whose political notions are etherial that when his party needs his services, unless he is personally interested, cannot condescend to lend a band, but it should be man in whom the party has bad and does have implicit confidence; one who, when there is work to be done, cheerfully sacrifices personal considerations and battles for his party, because he believes in its principles. General Harrison meets these requirementa pertectly; it is not necessary to take chances.

"My goodness, gracious! look at them Republican fags in this Democrat post office," said colored gentleman Decoration day, as he observed the national colors at the delivery window. The colored brother evidently knew the history of his country better than some people that could be named.Bloomington Telephone. OREGON hee sounded the key -note for this campaign year. ON Tuesday last Oregon held the fret general election of the season, and the Republicans carried the State by about largest majority given in the state since the war. The Legislature stands sixty-two Republicans to twentyfour Democrats.

The Democracy made a special effort to carry the state, as card for the opening campaign, with the above result.To say that they werc surprised is putting it mildly. There are other and similar surprises in store for them. THE party workers who manufactured the Gray boom were disposed to treat the puncturing of their bubble by the Hon. Jos. E.

McDonald, as of no consequence. The old gentleman had been snubbed and kicked out of the way 80 often that the ringsters had concluded that he was of no consequence. This was natural, 88 the element that he represents is the honest and patriotic part of the party, and the ringsters could not quite understand that their uncle Joseph or any one else could have any following on this basis, but he has his revenge and it is no doubt sweet. IN 1876, 1880 and 1884, Indiana did not have a vice-presidential candidate before the Democratic National conventions, but the supposed necessities of the case in each instance caused the party to thrust the unsought honor upon citizens of this State. In 1888 it is generally conceded that the party must carry the State or be defeated, it had a candidate in the person of Gov.

Gray, who not only was willing, but had sought the nomination in an unprecedented manner, with all the party machinery at his back, and the convention ignored his claims, and nominated an Ohio man to carry Indiana with. This looks like the party has abandoned the hope of carrying the State, and sought to mike a ticket that would strengthen it elsewhere, but the chances are that in doing this they hare made a brench in the ranks of the faithful, that will tell againet them in Norember. The Prohibitionists of Brown county have placed tull county ticket in the field, and every man upon the ticket is either a preacher or layman, and yet the Nashville Democrat says: With the devil's reform weapons equipped, the Prohibitionists of Brown county have tered the fleld of politics, and if it were not for the odor of sanctity emitted by the Four Preaching Brethren on the ticket the whole party might be mistaken, on account of their arms and accouterments, for the devil', awkward squad on first drill." This may be taken as a true expression of Democratic sentiment concerning prohibition and prohibitionista, when honestly spoken, and this is the party to be benefitted and advanced by every probibition ticket that is put in the feld. If the Lord's work is to be done by this course, He does indeed "move in a mysterious way, His wonders to pertorm."
