W want men for our officer who are

want men who are in a.i4 ;il n.
uvaaoi government , men who believe
practically In tha same principle, in

and administration, it I their duty to
uphold and maintain republican princl
plea and policies by being loyal to that
party, and axilm to the noils on next
election day aricf casting their Totes for
me repuuiican candidate.
There i no doubt that th democratic
candidate in this county are competent
and gaod men as well as the renublican
candidates: Itut in republican county,
or state, for that matter, republican
will rive better service and will be more
satisfactory as a Servant ol tha people
man a man ot soma other political
party who la not in sympathy with the
majority of tha people of this county or
state. This is a matter that should not
be considered lluhtlv
A true republican one who la re
publican because he believe in the prin
clplea of tha republican parly, because
he is proud of its history, and ha faith
in its future nurnosca in view of ores-
en I atate and national issues, cannot
cuusiaieniiy and concientiouly vote for
other than republican candidate. It
would be puerile and nngracloua for one
who pretends to be a republican, at tha
preaent time, to work sod voteagainst
a republican. Campaign stories, origi
nated by enviou and irresponsible per
sons during campaign, calculated to
militate against certain candidates for
th purpose of defeating tbcm, ought
not to have any Influence whatever upon
intelligent voter.
I believe the republicans ol Columbia
county will aland by republican prin
ciple, and, whew election day comes.
win vote lor repuuiican canuiuaics mr
republican principles and policies, re-'
publican prosperity and progress.

Grand Jry Report.
To the Hon. Tho. A. McBride, lodge
of the circuit court of th state of Ore
gon, for Columbia county:
We, the grand Jury, drawn In the May
term of the circuit court. In aud for aaid
county and tat. respectfully report to
your Honor the following:
1. We have examined and considered
seven criminal cases and have found
and reported two "Tru Bill" and tlv
"Not True Bill." - ,
2. Wa have examined tha book and
other record of the county clerk, herifl,
treasurer and assessor, with the assist
ance of tha various county officers, o
far aa onr time and circumstance
would permit, and find the same neatly
and well keptj and concluded after mak
ing thi examination, it unneceasary at
tliia time to employ expert to examine
in detail any of the county office and
tha books thereof.
8. W have examined the bonde of
tha treaaurer, Edwin Ross, and while
we are advised that the same i in law
!..-... l it nevertheless ia imperfect
In form, and containa the name of three
disqualified turelio. nameiy, vwu iiwi
ney at law, who are no doubt worth the
sum for which they qualify, but the
ttatute doe not permit an attorney or a
county officer to becom aurety on
tuch a bond. . .... , .
We find that th bond of the clerk
containa the name ol hit deputy at a
turety, which we think ought not to be
permitted i although the said urety i
no doubt worth th um lor which he
qualities, he doe not posses the qualifi
cation by statute provided, a he ia a
court officer. We do not find that these
bonds have been executed in the manner
mentioned, or that these defect have
occurred through any fault of the offi
cer, but through an oversight aa to the
u"' Wa think that all bond, tendered
by officer hereafter should be submitted
to the district attorney for hi opinion
a to their eutlloiency.
4. W find that th vault In the
clerk' office I too tnsll to hold the
rilled on noor uwix, - -r.
dv.ulii. insufficient 'he present
requirement of the county. W find
alf of th county officer cramped for
loom and that, the buainesf the county
Sre. lirger nd better office room.
We deem the county court-house a
ommend that immediate steps be taken
erect auiUble court-house com men-
bel lit " Oirtth. citi ns of Columbia
