Enxc'rioxnanme STORY.— Mr. S. C. Harris, Republican candidate for Auditor, iii, we are Informed, engaged In privately circulating the story that Judge Burke, in his presence, raised his hand and made {oath that he would never. under any cir cumstances, vote t'oraßepul-liean. Those who personally know Judge Burke vvill give no credence to this story. He has been elected Judge of Probate twice by Republican votes, and at every election in this county there has been a large in terchange of votes; Republicans voting tor Democratic candidates and Democrats vming tor Republican candidates. When Judge. Jacobs was first a candidate, he r:ceived over 200 Democratic vows in thin county; giving him 440 majority, where Judge McFadden received 178 umjority two years betore. At the same election Capt. Hill was elected Treasurer and Mr. Wyckofi' elected Sherifi' by Dem~ oerutic votes, Without which they would both have been defeated. At the same election Mr. Booth was elected Auditor by Republican and Democratic votes Combined. Two years ago the same can didat‘es were elected, together with Judge Burke, the Democratic candidates by Re publiesn votes and the Republican candi dates by Democratic votes. Mr. Brents, at the same election, received the votes of many Democrats, including the editor of this paper. upon the question of plat form, on which he now stands as the candidate at the other side. If “Vane" proposes to risk the chances of his election by tying to Brenta, he is the last person who should urge his own chums upon a strictly party issue. It will call public ntfention to the fact that two years ago, after having been defeated for a nomination in conventicn, he nnnounced himself, in it published card,“ In “inde pendent candidate " and bolter, and hatl to be propiliated. It was understood that he would have repeated that experi» ment this year if Slorah had been nomi~ nnted. The young man has many per— son-l friends in both political parties. but, will not add to his friends by “sail. ing the personal integrity of Judge Burke in behalf of Bronte. “ In a conflict between rivals, the weak cst man is used by each to defeat the other, and the public interest Is sacrificed to petsonal spite. The right of the peo ple cut no figure in a nominating (lon— vention." The above was penned by the venerm ble Beriah Brown, on his return from the Kalama Convention which nominated Mr. Burke. "’Tis true. ’tis pity. and pity ’tis ’tis true.”——l’uge.‘ Sound .lfat'l. .’l‘heabove extract was put in type be fore Mr. Brown went to the Kalama Con vention, and describes exactly what oc— curred in the Republican Convention, to which it alluded. The nomination of MI. Burke was spontaneous, and not the result ot any act of his or rival candi dates. All of which was in marked mn~ trust with the nomination of Mr Brents. The tier of States winch stretches from Rhode Island to the Mississippi at St. Louis contains the controlling States 'of the Union in population and in matteroi commerce, agriculture and finance. Ac cording to the recent census these Stages contain twenty millions out of the fifty millions of our entire population. If, therefore, Senator Conkling talks about a solid North he Will talk of the States hctween Rhode island and the Mississippi at St. Louis. How “ solid " they were for the Republican party will appear from their votes for President in 1876 IS given in the oflicxal table of the “ American Almanac” prepared by the Librarian of Congress: Democratic.

When General Hsncock is elected President by these 115 electoral votes added to the 138 electoral votes of what these same stalwsrts call the “solid South,” who will (late dispute hlh claim to be called a Union President; No man of sense, ,when to these States are added the 24 elec torsl votes for Hancock of Maine, New Hampshire, Colorado. Nevada and Cali fornia, leaving only 92 electoral votes for Garfield and Arthurf—N. Y. World. Michael Davlu's Speech. i The San Francisco Bulletin of the 24th ‘, ult. says: The Grand Opera House was crowded last night, the t'areWell address of Michael Davitt being the attraction. ; He began by speaking at the sympathy on this coast for the Iristi suflerers. He said he would go back to Ireland and say there is a branch of the National Land League on the Pacific coast in full sym~ pathy wtth then, and this WI" give them courage to live through the winter. It is the wish of the Irish people to make the civilized world the arbiter: between them and landlords. The application of the land laws in England are difi'erent from those in Ireland. The landlord: in England and Scotland live on theireltates and expend money for their improvement. and share in the expenses. The Irish landlords never make any improvements in the property, the tenants do it all.— The speaker cited an instance in which the rent of the land had been raised 700 per cent on account of the improvements made by tenants. He quoted the opin ions of Englishmen and of the English Press. Lord John Russell wrote that “England had made Ireland the most. wretched country in the world.” Thel London Times said in an article, “Thej Irish landlmds ,re the cut-purses of Ire~ ‘ land and the name of Irish landlord has: become a stench in the nostrils of the‘ people of the world.” ‘ 0n the other hand. Lord Annesley, the ‘ owner ot 40,000 acres. wrote to ParliaJ ment during the agitation, that as a rule, there is no country where the tenants are treated with more justice, or have so much to be grateful tor as in Ireland.— The speaker read a lease given by Lord Annesley, in which he reserved all rights in niines.sand,gravel, timber and streams, and exclusive right to all game, wile] fowl and fish thereon, and exclusive right to said Earl, assigns, etc.. to enter upon. shoot, hunt, sport and course, and to search for, dig. out and take away from said premises, to make or drain water— courses und mill races. and to use all banks of streams for leavingr dredgings thereon, and to make and close roads at pleasure through said farm. During the lust famine the landlords did not give one cent to a relief fund to assist their starving tenants. He told how a widow 84 years of age, with six children and her sister in—law,were driven from a place she had held tor sixty years, because she was unable to pay rent for two years. They remained in the open air for eight days and nights, until their neighbors put them back in their house. It was finally arranged that she should stay if halt' the rent was paid, and this amount was collected. A tax at ones fourth the value of seasweed has been placed upon it. The people wade out into the ocean a' .1 gather it. The speaker next cited a case in which a men had been evicted from his farm because his brother, livnig on another farm, had not paid his rent oi £lO, owmg to the expenses of the illness of his chil~ dren. “Exterminate the landlords,” is the cry of our people. Some other in stances of cruelty were recited. The ' people want no half~way system, and de mand the total abolition of landlords. ! Some critics say, why do not they ‘ leave Ireland and come to America ‘1 We have a land at our own, and if we emi~ {grate en masse from our native soil we ‘ would deserve the contempt of the world. ! The 500,000 tenants must win as against ; the 10,000 landlords. Though many have 1 lett there are still thousands at Irishmen ‘in Ireland that will remain and hold a firm grip on their native soil. We be— lieve that men have a right to live in the land of their birth. Every member of the Irish Land League, and every man who has influence with the Irish will be in Ireland in November, and we will see whether or not the people will have to emigrate en masse, or the landlords.— They had been told to look to Parlia ment for relief. Now they would look to themselves. They will compel the British Parliament to do them justice. The speaker reviewed some of the vic tories ot the Land League, and said he thought the end of it would be that the 860,000,000 annually taken from Ireland by landlords would remain in the coun~ try, and population increase and pros~ perity return. A Girl’s Remarkable Dream. About thirty years ago a drover by the name of Young came down from Wheel ing, gathering up stock for the Eastern market. He left Summertield, a little hamlet among the hills and started on the way to Sarahsville just as darkness, was setting in. He never was heard of" more. His friends in Wheeling did not expect him home for several weeks. He 1 was a bachelor, and had no near relatives. 1 Something of a search was made for him a few weeks after he rode out into the darkness on his way to Sarahsville, but in vain. The story of his disappearance was told over and over again among the people of the region, until it passed into history. Twenty years after the disap~ pearnnce of the drover, the daughter ol 1 a prominent citizen of the county, living 1 near Sarahsville, had asingular dream. It seemed to her that she was at a lamil~ liar point on the main road leading lrmn her home to Summerfield. It was night, and a storm was threatening. The inky darkness was ever and anon illuminated by the most vivid flashes of lightning. In some way she was impressed with the idea that she was expected to watch at tentively all that passed before her. She . had not long to wait. Presently. one of the flashes of light revealed a horseman slowly wending his way up the hill. An' instant later a second flash she discovered , a man approaching from the rear with! stealthy tread. The next flash revealed} the horseman lying upon the ground, and 1 the man whom she had before seen ap~; proaching was holding the horse by the 3 bridle and hastily riding the dead man. Becoming more and more interested, she closely followed the movements of the robber and murderer, and saw him go to a familiar stump and carefully deposit the saddle and the bridle and saddle— bags of the murdered man in the large hollow opening within. Just as this work ‘ was finished the murderer seemed to turn upon her suddenly, and in a flash of light she recognized the features and form of her lather. Half dead with fright, she awoke, and did not close her eyes in sleep again that night. Bright and early the next (lav she visited the scene of her dream, and with a sharp stick dug in the decayed rubbish in theinterior of the old stump. She was so thoroughly impressed with the reality of what she had seen that she could not fail to do this. What was her surprise on excavating only a few inches beneath the surface to find a rusty styrrup and an old buckle or two. The horrified girl kept her terrible suspicion to herself, but it weighed so upon her mind that her constitution Was soon undermined, and at the agent 19 she was thrown into quick consumption and died. Before she passed away. however, she related her dream and suspicion, and res marked that some one must be punished for the horrible {)imc, and she could no longer live with the belief so strong upon her that her father was an unpunished murderer. Of course. nothing was ever done in the way of proceedings against the respectable citizen thus thrown under ncloud of suspicion by his daughter’s dream. There was nothing in the way of evidence that could be broughtto heu on the ease.— Carr. N. Y. Times. o. R. & N. Co. a; N. P. R. Co.——ln his first annual report Mr. Villard, President of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, says the line of the Northern Pacific Railroad “ vnll, by mutual agree ment, be extended from the. confluence of the Calnmbia and Snake rivers to a janc~ tion at Wallala with the main line” of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Co. From other sources the information is obtained that mutual understandingsand agreements have been entered into be tween the tWo companies, whereby the Northern Pacificßailroad 00. give up all idea. of building an independent road down the Columbia; that they will pay the 0. R. and N. Co. an agreed rate per mile for hauling their cars over the Co. lumbia division; that the N. P. R. R Co. are going to push the construction of their line over the Cascade mountains via the Nutclzess pass; that this road mll leave the main line somewllcrein the vicinity of Rilzville. How much of this is rumor we have no means of determim ing. but we are much inclined to believe it is all Hum—Walla Walla Union. ' How mm A PRINTER‘s HAND Tn; '. as.

HUNTING —-Genernl Sherman, with his usual good sense, has caused the follow - ing order to be issued: “ The attention of the Secretary 0! “far and the General 01 the Army has been called to the prac tice, at some Military Posts, of giving ofiicers ‘leave of absence,” for the pun pose of hunting. As such absence, be yond a period of 24 hours. must br eharged us leave of absence, and in this way tend to discourage hunting, which in many ways is so advantageous to the service by familiarizing oflicers and men with the country, and preparing them for efficient servrce, the General of the Army, with the appoval of the Secretary 01 War. directs that hereafter, permission to hunt be not considered a leave of ab sence, or charged as such, if the officer, on his return to his station, tiles with his cemmanding officer a certificate that his absence has been employed in huuting‘ and furnishes as completegn description of the country passed over as circum— staces will permit."
