The money o( "primary redemption" wi all gold. For the past fifteeu year the per capita circulation baa ranged from 22 to 24. The average for this period has been juat about that of laat year, 22.l0. Within theae fifteen years the silver coinage has increased over 100,000,000, and the treasury vaults are heaped with silver bullion aain! which treasury notes have been issued Your attention ii called to the communi cation in another column Irom Major V. H Vaughan of Molalla, a life-long democrat and one who lias voted the straight democrat' ic ticket for over forty years with one excep. tion. He voted for T. A. McBride of this county for circuit Judge two years ago in preference to the populist candidate, there being no democrat on the ticket for that of fice. Mr. Vaughan has very properly christened the official organ of the pops the "buzzards nest' ', and as we all know the old birds are furnishing spew for the "young" of the "nest", Mr, Vaughan is willing to meet any pop or pops in joint debate at any time, evenings excepted Tiik pop organ is like unto a farmer, who resides in the southern part of this county. This man had rented a form of a neighbor. Mr. B, but when time came to pay rent he declared the rental contract void. Mr. B brought two wit ness to prove it, but still the other claimed Mr. B was wrong. Mr. B, in tellings friend, said. "Why I he outlied the three of ns." Davk Mav has turned pop.

The Oregon populists, true to their instincts and their best interests, are just now making most of the noise and claiming everything in sight. Don't get scared. They are not getting ahead. They are expending all their wind on noise, with none left for any other purpose. They are like Abraham Lincoln's steamboat, says the Sa'em Statesman, that had such a large whistle. It was so large that when It tooled this process took all the 'steam, and the machinery stopped. Instead of going ahea-j while it was making a very loud noise, drown ing out all other sounds Inr miles around, it actually lost ground and drifted with I the stream. The men down in Portland in charge of the populist campaign are giving out "news" by the yard about the prospects of populist victories in Oregon. They are trying to convince Oregon voters that everything is going their way. They are trying to convince the deluded members of their party, io they will (hull out the largest possible assessment from their almost empty pockets, with which to hire populist speakers from abroad. They propose lo draw into requisition Texas, Iowa and several other distant states. They do not seem to have much iiba of 'patronizing home industry. Nearly every populist in Oregon is full of figures and wind . The home product ought to be given a chani'e. It would be cheaper, too, and the money would be kept at home. The only interest these outside speak ers take in Oregon populism is the money raised by assessment from the Oregon populists. They Bail across the continent in rullman cars, with Bix-hit cigars, for the cost of which their Ore gon dupes go down into their pockets and dig up their hard-earned money. What do they get for their moneyT They get promises of great victories be fore the election. The fact is, the out look for populist success anywhere in the state is not at all bright. Even in those counties where that party has won a few victories in the past few years, it has run out, and the people want no more of it. There is nothing in this brae. Don't be deceived. If the people throughout Oregon w ill do their duty, as we bolieve they will, the populists will get left. J. EUGENE HEDGES. To the people of Clackamas canity : Allow me to say a word commendatory of J. E. Hedges, our democrtaic candi date for district attorney for this district. Mr Hedges is a native of this con my and eminently worthy the consideration of the careful deliberate and painstak ing voter. The office is or should not be considered a political one and hence I suggest that we give him a rousing vote. C'liicliHmas eounty being third in the state in population and second in point of maniiliictnrers, etc., we are en titled to some consideration at the hand of this district. Washington county having had the district attorney for some time why would they not he wil ling to give us the attorney for a time Voters, think of it ! This not a political matter but strictly a matter of business Having known Mr, Hedges from boy hood up, 1 can truthfully say that he is a man of culture and of the Ugliest de gree of integrity. He would reflect an honor upon Clackamas county if elected to this position. Having made thorough preparation for bis choser profession, and having had sufficient practice to fit him for this work he could enter the office as second to no other. Let us work up a little local pride in this matter and stand by our own county vote for J. E. Hedges for district at torney and you'll never i egret it. In the way of through preparation he has not a superior on this coast ; a Clacka mas county boy, and withall a model c t zn. Uespuctfully submitted. E. C. Hackett. VAUGHAN VS. POPULISTS. Macksiiiro, Or , May 4th. Mr. Editor.-Win. II. Vaughan of Molalla has a standing challenge to meet any populist in joint debate, and on last Saturday afternoon D F. May, T. B. Hankins and George Ogle accepted and met Mr. Vaughan Ht this place. Mr. Vaughan led and took up the democratic platform as regards money and tariff He showed by the laws why John C. Carlisle paid out' gold it place of silver and that it was the aim of the government to keep the two metals at a parity and that Grover Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle had stood on the platform with both feet. He showed that the cause of the division of parly was on the qilver plank and that there was not a gold bug but stood for the repeal of the act and that the silver men were the ones that bucked the platform and not, Mr. Cleveland or Mr. Carlisle. On the tariff question he took the po sition that the house passed a good reasonable tariff bill which was "held up" by the senate and was the cause of the difficulty with the question and that Mr. Cleveland stood firm on the tariff plank and would not sign the bill on account of ' hold up." He referred to populists as hypocrits and as being in sincere in their advocacy of the free coinage of silver and quoted from one of their works the assertion trat they were for paper fiat, irredeemable, and that that was their position and their pre tended free coinage ideas was all hypoc-racy.

The circulation of the United States currency per capita in the halcyon year before tlu An Open Letter tJ the Buzzard's Nest. MoLAM.A,Or., May 5th, 1800. I wish to say to my friends in Clack amas county, in democratic, republican and populist circles, that a dirty, filthy and unscrupulous sheet, which I call the "Buzzards Nest" has used my name in a dishonorable way in several hi to is sues of said sheet. I cannot believe that Mr. Fitch is the originator nf such, as I am not ac quainted with him, consequently it must be some low degraded scavenger that has no reputation himself, and endeav ors to be a leech on the character of others, but if Mr. Fitch or his inform ant will consult the vote of my precinct (that of Upper Molalla) and if their nar row contraction will allow them the comprehension they will note that for congress Herman, republican, received 44 votes, Weatherford 70 votes and Miller, populist. 77 votes, and for sheriff, Maddock, republican, received 20 votes, Ganong, democrat, 87 votes and Magone, populist, 78 votis. Can any democrat in this county or any democrat, repub lican or populist in Upper Molalla pre cinct, say, after a glance at the above li 1:11 res, that I have not been sincere to every candidate of my party, and they would not believe that I would be unfaithful to a ticket that I had helped to make. I have been in Clackamas counly for 53 years, and it is the first time that I have been so accused, but as it Is published from the pen or words from the lips of an unsophisticated scoundrel it is to be taken for w hat it is worth. Trusting that my position is satisfac tory to my friends, and that the "Bui- isrd's Nest' its S3 cent legislative ticket. I remain Respectfully yours, W. H. Vacciia.n. Vaughan said that if the free coinage men could elect their president and congress and carry out their meas ures it would cause such a panic among the people that all would drawout their savings and banks would be compelled to close out all mortgages (if one-fourth value of land) on farmers and it would be the worst thing that could possibly befall the poor man. He sa:d that from 1792 to 1834 there had been silver monometalism because gold was worth more than silver and left the country. In 1834, under Jackson's administration, aw was changed from 13 to 1 to 10 to 1 and then the silver left the country and the gold flowed in and then we were practically upon the gold basis until 1873, from which date we liae been on a legal gold basis. - He rend an article from the Herald where it staled that its principles were so good that both the Catholic and the A. P. A. could stand shoulder to shoulder,' that. He said, yes! the Catho lics and the A. P. A. 's could stand to gether just like the Turks and the Ar menians do; the Turk taking oil' the Ar menian's head, applying a torch to his house after everything of value is taken, and outraging his wife and daughters. Mr. Vaughan spoke 50 minutes and then gave way to Dave May, who did not pretend to convert a point made by Mr. Vaughan, but Btated that Mr, Cleveland sent a letter to the West after his nomi nation saying that he was all right on the silver question, which Mr. Vaughan told him was not true and defied him to show the letter and that he was talking "through his hat." Tnen Mr. May turned from that and accused Mr. Vaughan of deliyeting silver speeches when tbev were canvassing together. Mr. Vaughan asked him on what can vas and he replied, ''we have made so many canvases together I could not tell which." Mr. May spoke on hour and ten minutes and then Mr. Vaughan in six or seven minutes replied. Mr. Vaughan told Mr. May that they had made but one canvas together and that was on the tariff and that he never made a free silver speech. John Everhart asked Mr. Vaughan if two 50 cent pieces would not buy as much as a dollar and he answered, yes. Mr. Everhart then said that there was but $8,100,000 of silver struck prior to 1873 and that he failed to Btate that there was 200,000,000 , of subsidiary of coin struck. Mr. Vaughan answered, yes, and said, I have the table of all the coins struck in my hand, ''come and take it." Mr. Kverliart dared not taae the authority to prove the truth of his argument and was told that he was talking "through his hat." He compared Mr. May to the nigger that went fishing in the Mississippi and turned up missing and could not be found after a diligent search, and they didn't know whether the nigger went catfishingor the catfish went nUgering; that you couldn't tell whether Mr. May bad eone populisting or that the popu lists had gone Maying.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more gener ally needed in the Spring, when the languid exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and alterative is telt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting nnd freeing the system from the malarial poison.

To be thin, for a baby, Is to be de prived of its natural ease ; to suffer and not be able to feel it ; to wear a sad pinched face ; to live on the edge of sick ness; to grow imperfectly; and to lose the power of re sisting disease. When a baby is thin it needs more fat than it gets from its food; it is starved, fat-starved.
