THAT OREGON New Albany Ledger, Democrat: There was no democratic ticket in the late election? in Oregon. There was a mongrel ticket made up of populi its, silver republicans and democrats—with the middle-of-the road populists with their oonox" ica ctnne of the referendum an .1 other principles, that proved so obnoxious to many democrats that thev refused to support the ticket, j refer ing its defeat to its election.
