Democratic leaders are losing a Wn nf time shvintrraoks at Presi- Unt McKinlev because he did this or didn't do that with members of his cabinet. The disciples of made ' tver JeffersonianiBm are having a dmirterate time finding a masthead for their 1900 ticket and the Bnarl and bark of their discontent muBt (O up at someone. Admiral Dkwey has said repeat edly that he would not be a candi date for the presidency in 1900. Be has said further that he hoped Mr. McKinlev . would be re-nomi nated and again elected. This onght to eettle the matter so far as our naval hero is concerned, and -when a man bo eminently qualifi .d to judge of a president's abilities as in hones for his re-election, there eems little ground left for us peo ple, who know comparatively so little of the conditions of affairs, to aland on while we send up our vie orons and prolonged howl at the administration. Below is a fine list of new sub soribers which our agent, Mr. E. E. Van Antwerp, has sent us from Klamath County. There are just an even seventy of them, and as Mr. Van Antwerp says, all are good, honest, thrifty people and nearly all are farmers and stockmen: Mrs A Hammond David Copperfield Geo Maxwell A J Louderbaugh ' Oscar Miller . - Homer Hutchinson llano Jackson Thos Jefferson Levi Walker Ieaac Most Edwin Van Horn Mathew Skeen Ralph Jackaun Benj Butler Wm Swift Clark Chocktoot - James Nonao Obas Brown Joseph Baker John Jackson .
