as Second-Class Mail Matter.
Medford, Friday, May 11, 1894.
S. H. Dcni.ap, of Talent, is out
as an independent candidate for
sheriff.
With all three of the regular
nominees for sheriff Ashland men
Hockersniith's chances are en
hanced several fold.
A Fourth of July meeting is
called, for nest Tuesday evening at
the opera house, at 7 :30 o'clock.
All citizens of Medford are invited
to attend we ake going to cele
brate. .
Friends of E. E. Smith, candi
date for superintendent of schools
nn the people's party tickets, are
not backward in setting forth his
capability to handle the office prop
erly and they are making a hard
fight for his election.
Max Muller has decided, at the
earnest solicitation of Chairman W.
I. Vawter, to allow his name to re-
mam on tha republican ticket as
candidate for treasurer. Dr. Kirch-
, , , .
gessners name has been put on
the ticket for coroner instead of i
that of Dr. Parsons, who resigned.
The candidacy of Dr. B. F.
Adkins, for representative, will be
conauctea upon me same nonoraoie
plan as he conducts his business.
If he can not be elected bv means
otherthan those in which trickery i
predomihates, he will never enter!
the legislative halls of the state of
Oregon.
The Valley Record came out last
week with a six page edition and
lots of 'em filled with people's
party doctrine and advocating the
election of those candidates who
adhere to the principles of that
party. It was a credit to Brother
Kaiser and the party ought to re
member him kindlv:
. , .'.A hearty hand shake, with grip
. accomnaniments. and a nickel
.". v: cigar are riot going to buy votes
this iyear, : neither can they be
bought for a larger sum. The tax
v payers of this county will vote for
the men whom they positively
know to be all right and not sus
ceptible to ring manipulators. '
Ix this day and age the rounder-ap-of-votes
is a back number
way back. It is a fair presumption
that all men are created equal at
least to the extent of being able to
exercise the dictates of conscience
and be his own judge as to the sit
ting down upon the ring crowd in
casting a ballot. He who attempts
to bully-rag a voter deserves the
pontempt of every honest man.
Medford has two candidates for
county clerk. Mr. N. A. Jacobs is
the psople's party candidate and
Mr. J. II. Whitman is on the dem
" ocratic ticket for the same office.
Whatever can be said favorable to
either one of these gentlemen nothing
can Le said against the other. Mr.
Jacobs is as square and honorable a
inan as one could hope to find in
miles of travel, while Mr. Whitman
ia his equal in all respects and of
whom none can say a word that is
not to hia credit.
Several new political cards ap
pear in to-day's Mail. Among
them will be found those of Prank
Calloway, republican nominee for
recorder; Miles Cantrall, democratic
fiominee for recorder; H. D. Kubli,
republican nominee for representa
tive; T. Cameron, republican nomi
nee for senator; Geo. . V. Dunn,
nominee on the republican ticket
for representative; D. V. S. Reid, of
Lane county, democratic nominee
for ' superintendent of public in
struction; Geo. W. Barron, republi
can nominee for sheriff, and II. S.
Evans, democratic nominee for
sheriff. Mr. Evans states in his
card that if elected he will be un
incumbered by any promises.
No case ha3 pome up in the
. courts of Jackson county which is
of as much vital jnterest to many
of her citizens a3 is the case of
Oregon & California railroad com
pany vs. Thos. Curry, of Tolo. It
is a suit for ejectment of defendant
from a tract .of land which the com
pany claims belongs to then as ag
ricultural land but which the de
fendant sets forth is mineral land
and in evidence of this statement
Jio is prepared to prove that he has
successfully mineu the land in
riuestion for several years. The
case has been referred to the county
clerk to take evidence. There is
little doubt but that the case will
be decided in favor of defendant in
- f he circuit court, but as it is a test
0g Jhg plaintiff Will; of course;
appeal to the supreme court. In
this event Mr. Curry ought not to
be expected to make his fight single
handed and alone as upon tho de
cision of this case will rest the val
idity of the company's title to many
acres of land in this valley much
of which is now being mined. A
little financial assistance from those
most interested would be apprecia
ted and might prove of much profit
to them.
The three county and state tick
ets are now in the field. There are
good men on all of these tickets,
men who are worthy of your best
consideration, and men, who, if
elected, would serve, their constit
uents well. There are as well men
on some of these tickets who arc
not such as .you would care to have
represent you in office. Whatever
yo"U do scratch the name of every
man whom you have good reason
to believe has the slightest leaning
toward a ring. Scratch every man
whom you have reason to believe
has not stamina and purpose
enough of his own to conduct the
duties of the office to which he is
elected without the assistance of
any ring interference.

Saturday's School Picnic. "

Earlv Saturday morninj' teams began
passing through Medford for the picnic
grounds, amonj them being a number : ' "u

to noon over seventv teams Were
counted coming into Medford from the
south, and from other directions came
equally as many. This was not only
true of the road leading into Medford,
but at the picnic grounds those xrhich
had oassed this wav were augmented
by hundreds of others coming
every direction. The grounds, which j
are located about half way botwen
Medford and Jacksonville, by ten I
o clock were well tilled wiih beouleand j
vehicles and by two o'clock, when the
last train had arrived from Medford,
there were fully two thousand people
oa the grounds.
The Medford public school band was
there and rendered several mobt ex
cellent selections to the gratification
of ail present and many were the com
pliments ex'ended. Another interest
ing feature of the day's program was
the ball game between the Medford and
Jacksonville school nines. The game
was handled well considering tho age
of the players and the practice they
have had. The boys have attained a
prpfiiciency in one particular which is
"talking back'' to the umpire they
did it just like men, but we noticed
quite unlike the men they didn't
swear at that personage. The score.
which is printed below, gave the gnru'
to Medford. At the outset of the gum-j
it looked like the Medford boys were
going to be comepletely done up, but
they became a little wratny over the
shouts and jeers and in the next few
innings proceeded to turn tue scale m
their favor.

PICNIC NOTES.
Croquet grounds had been
repared
and were put to general use
many
present.
Three cheers lor Jt'rols. isarregnn
and Price and the Medford school
band shouted everybody.
There were on the grounds the regu
lation Fourth of July lemonade stands
and a merry-go-'round and a bear.
Everybody and their children en
joyed the occasion hugely and, barring
the fact that all were desperately tired
at evening time, tbcro was nothing to
mar the day's pleasure.
The railroad boys did all possible to
make the occasion the success it was,
and while the schedule of trains was
far more rapid than the actual running
time, it was no fault of thoirs.
There were seven hundred-and eighty-throe,
be it the sumo more or less,
candidates present, and to them it was
one continual 'round of picnicing and
button-holing. If there was a man on
the ground that didn't, get button-holed
It was a mistake -and The Mail, in be
half pf the candidates, takes this oppor
tunity to beg the gentleman s pardon
for the oversight.
The cars upon the return trips of
shorthne train were somewhat crowd
d. As a matter of fact, tha people
were so promiscuously mixed up as to
hardly determine just who belonged to
which family and whose children be
longed to which lunch basket. The
men and bovs would hav('jeen excusa
ble had they sought the break-beam as
a means of comfort and safety.
