It was a fine mooting, a grout re publican meeting, not localise any jiartirulur candidate of tlio party for president waa here, but because the people wauled to show their Inter est in the vital questions confronting them, and because thoy believe they must look to that party for a better ment of conditions, which has mot cvory crisis with fortitude, and been Teady In every emorgoiicy. The key nolo struck by ono of tUi speakers was harmony and unity and this most excellent advice 1h one to be con sidered and taken home in tho local affairs a well as in nntioual ones. Unity must begin at tho bottom and spread upward, then absolute cer tain success Is assured. It Is a re publican year, and the thought of this buoys up the despondent and strengthens tho sinews of the weary. THFY AMj KX()V During the past week Roseburg 1xuB iboen favored with prominent residents from other parts or tho stuto, and from distant states of the Union, and It was learned through In dividual conversation with many of them that the faino of tho climate hero In tho Umpqua Volley was not local and confined to booster resi dents. In fact, all of them seemed to know It before their arrival, and ono man who Is known all over Ore gon, said he had read reports from government statistics showing tlmt tho Htutlou hero In Roseburg was credited with having the most even tdlmuto of any other In the I'nited Btatoti. Surely such a record, and such a fame to hovo spread broad cast over the country Is an envlahlo one, and something on which one may have a right to dwell. OI'll GALAXY OF STAItH.

Clark It has been many years since a re publican county clerk was elected In Douglas county, notwithstanding tho large majority of the party, and the result has been almost a life tenure of tho office. Tho general opinion over the county Is that this should be changed, and this presi dential year is the time to do It. Tho candidate selected by unanim ous consent, is Cliarleo W.

Mr. Busenbark entered the race Rt a late day, but he has been gaining strength every day, as he has a large circle of friends who are working for him. For County Asspvkop. For this important office in the county, the competition is almost us keen as for commissioner, as there nre five well known republicans run-, ing an even and interesting race,! with the result hanging in the bal-j ance until the last vote in every pie-! cinct Is counted, Charles Roberts,' of Roseburg, Is. well known to ev-' cry person who has had occasion to !

Jewett. the present incumbent, who has served a number of years, nnd Or. C. R Wade, a practicing j physician of Roseburg and well , known over the county as a reli able practitioner. For Justice of the Peace in the Deer Creek district, there are two well known men making the campaign, Chas. F.

Both these gen tlemen have qualification's which eminently fit them for the position. For Constal!. Howard Church, the only candi date, is too well known In Uoscburg to need any introduction, either as to his personality or ability, need less to say ne has filled this posi tion with credit to himself and sat isfaction to the officials of the state. He is obliging, courteous and fear less. These are the confildates pres ented for selection by tho republican voters of this county and district, and a better list has never been up. This Is a year when it Is vitally neces sary for a complete harmony, and there is no reason why every person nominated on the ticket at the pri maries should not be elected by big decisive majorities. !
