"In 'whereabi.ng' and 'reeoluting'
in favor of General Aguinaldo and
General Luna, our Populist fusion-for-office
neighbors seem to have
completely ignored General Pros
perity.' Well, they never did take
kindly to business thrift and in
dustry." Oregon Mist.
There is a United States sena
tor to be elected, and members
of the legislature chosen in June
will be clothed with this im
portant responsibility. If Repub
licans want a Republican United
States Benator elected, they must
vote for Republican-representatives.
That Congressman Tongue is a
friend of the Grand Army boys, and
that his ability as an orator is ap
preciated by them, is demonstrated
by the fact that he will deliver
their memorial day address at
Greenwood cemetery, in Washing
ton, D. C.
N. L. Nabregan has had a
training which well fits him for the
office of county judge. He is a
gentleman of highmoral standing,
ana me taxpayers win never una
their trusts betrayed if their good
judgment dictates the marking of
their ballot and the marking be
for Mr. Narregan.
Another Democratic boomerang
has gone a-glimmering. Three of the
registration books of the county
were lost for a couple of days this
week supposed, by the democracy
of the county, to have been stolen
by some dishonest Republican, but
the fact that thev were found yes
terday morning on a desk in the
clerk's office, under some news
papers, has fizzled another of their
election canards.
J. C. Pendleton, the Republican
nomini e for assessor, is giving but
little of his time to campaigning
- be hasn't time to do it he is as
sessor of the county and is attend
ing strictly to his work. He is do
- ing juBt as honest, impartial work
now as he ever did. He is the
squarest, most honorable assessor
the county ever had. The taxpay
ere will make a great mistake if
REPUBLICAN TICKET
. they do not re-elect him.
Prop. P. H. Daily has been a
worker in Jackson County schools
for eight years and has given entire
satisfaction wherever he has taught
he is the Republican nominee for
superintendent of schools. ' Mr.
Blocking, his Demooratio opponent,
Jim been in the ooint aottfoitljr one
year. Who are you going to sup
port a man whom you have known
for years or a comparative stranger?
Voters, can you assign one valid
reason why Mr. Newbury should
not be re-elected to the office of
oounty olerk? He was elected two
years ago by a handsome majority
and baa niado a most efficient olerk
of the cirouit and county oourts; al
ways courteous and obliging to the
publio; knowing neither enemies or
friends in the management of the
oBice; without partiality toward
any one; able and ezoellently qual
ified for the position J in short equip
ped with all the requisites for the
position as olerk, The Mail urges
his re election, and feelB confident
of a decisive majority for his re
tention in office.
There is a possibility of a mix
up in voting for justice of the peace
in Medford precinct. The Repub
lican nominee is Mr. F. M. Stewart,
who until the last three years was
a fatmer and orohardiet in Eden
precinot, sinoe which time he has
been a resident of Medford, engaged
most of the time as book-keeper in
The Mail office now of the real
estate and employment agency of
Stewart A Chessmore. He is an
old soldier and a member of Ches
ter A. Arthur, G. A. R., Post of Med
ford. He is an .honest gentleman,
a respected citizen and is well quali
fied to fill the office. His opponent
is Mr. James Stewart, a young man.
Don't get the nameB mixed. Make
no mistake vote for F. M. Stewart,
the Republican nominee.
The Mail has heretofore called
attention to the personal attack of
A. E. Reamed, the Fusion nominee
for district attorney, upon bis op
ponent, C. B. Watson, which ap
peared in the Jacksonville Times a
si ort time ago and whioh oame out
last week in the Medford inquirer,
but in a more virulent form. The
facts are, however, Reames pre
sented bis lengthy editorial to
Nickel for publication but Nickel,
recognizing the glaring misrepre
sentations, personalities and overt
insinuations therein, refused to print
it until its particularly objection
able features were eliminated.
Reames not being sntisfied with the
article as abridged sent the original
manuscript to the Enquirer which
published it as written. We must
say that Reames was very modest (?)
in his self praise, if not Washington
like. But such mud Blinging will
surely and effectually be rebuked
by all fair minded people at the
polls.
It is being told about the county
that one of the three candidates for
county judge is promising the voters
in some localities that if elected he
will never again play a game of
cards. The voters and taxpayers
of Jackson County cannot afford to
elect any man to office for the pur
pose of reforming him. If there is
one office in the county more than
another which should be filled by a
man whose reputation is unsullied,
it is that of county judge. Into his
hands is given to a certain ex ent
the keeping of the affairs of widows
and orphans suppose he does not
keep his promise Buppose it was
only an election promise and was
not made with any intention of
keeping? What are you going to
do about it? The Mail wants to
say to you right here that it don't
believe you can afford to run the
chances. Think of this matter seri
ously, voters, before you cast your
ballot. Suppose the grim messenger
should visit your home during the
next four years and you are called
upon to join the silent majority,
would you be happy when the last
farewell was said if you knew your
business affairs were to be handled
by this man of cards and election
promises The Mail wouldn't. Mr.
N. L. Narregan, the Republican
nominee for county judge, never
gambled in his life. He is con
structed upon a more elevated plane.
He is not a card man, neither is he
a profligate in any sense. A vote
for him is a vote for an honest man,
a man whose reputation is above
reproach.
If any class of men should be
specially interested in perpetuating
.Republican rule, it is the farmers.
The latest statistics show that the
income from farm products last
year, not including stock or dairy
manufactures, exceeded in . value
the product of any year during the
depression by more than sixteen
hundred million dollars. The live
stock of farms, by the same author
ity, has increased in value seven
hundred million, and meats, dairy
produote, hides, pelts, etc., have in
creased in value three hundred
seventy million. All other indus
tries show a like increase in busi
ness and annual values, and the
sum total makes up the widespread
prosperity witnessed upon every
band. A vote -for Dr. Daly, the
fusion candidate for the legislature,
is a vote to reverie this order of
things and go back to the blighting
period through which the oountry
hu jgit poised. Those whs want
to hear the wail of bard times, to
tee poverty and distress, no money
aud uo work, and wish to see the
oities filled with free soup kitchens,
and thousands of men tramping the
oountry bogging for work aud noth
ing to do, can further this Btate of
affairs by voting the Democratic,
Populist or Fusion ticket. Ou the
contrary, those who would see the
present prosperous condition con
tinue will vote for Thos. H. Tongue
and the Republican -ticket. This
is the alternative before eaoh voter,
aud his ohoice should be made to
best conserve his own interest while
protecting that of the public.
Dr. Daly, though reticent as a
sphinx ou all the more vital ques
tions of the day, has oomo out of
his shell enough to say he stands
with his party on the money ques
tion. Now if the doctor will toll
the people what party he belongs
to, he will remove a difficulty, which
may assist them in figuring out his
position on this important question.
The artful and disingenuous doctor
has been studiously trying to exe
cute a straddle on all questions.
He will ' find, however, when the
votes are polled, that the publio re
quires something more substantial
and reliable thau a slippery dodger
to represent them in a responsible
position. He used to disclaim a
predilection fur silver. He was
mum and noncommittal on bimetal
lism and the gold standard, but
from his present double affiiliation
with Democrats and Populists he
may be set down as anything for
office. If he has any convictions
at all, outside of a chronic mania
for office, he is a 1(3 to 1 Bilver ad
vocate ; and if there is any class of
men in the United States today who
should be refused political prefer
ment, it is men holding views
known to be inimical to the pros
perity and well-being of the country.
Dr. Daly will be badly beaten, and
it is right that he should be. Mr.
Tongue, bis opponent, Is a gentle
man qualified by experience to an
extent which will secure for Oregon
the recognition in congress so much
needed. This is no time for ex
periments in national affairs Mr.
Tongue is no experiment. Dr. Daly
is an inexperienced political non
entity, a fusion candidate and a
banker.
A few short yearn ago the Popu
list party in Jackson uounty was
supreme. They elected nearly every
man on their ticket for two suc
cessive elections, and until they
were deluded by the blandishments
of the Democratic party were in
splendid shape for the election of
their entire ticket again. They ac
cepted the caresses of the Demo
cratic party through the persuasion
of the Democratic leaders under
the guise of "Union" and only "for
the good and salvation of the
country,'' and while the country
was saved by the advent of the
Republican party into power the
Democratic party accomplished the
object of their "Union for the good
of the country" the destruction of
the Populist party. In lolHs there
were but two men elected on the
"Union" ticket and Populists well
remember that they were both Dem
ocrats the Populists were all de
feated by the failure of the Demo
crats to keep their part of the com
pact. Today the Democratic party
in Jackson County, after a refusal
in the Democratic convention, to
place the name of a Populist on the
ticket for a single office of any im
portance, is asking the PopuliBt
party to walk up to the ballot box
and elect the Democratic ticket.
The Mail is not informed as to
whether human nature in the Pop
ulist party is different from that in
other parties or not, but it is the
unusual thing in this nineteenth
century "to turn the other cheek
also." Will the Populists of Jack
sou County reward the Democracy
of the county for destroying the
Populist party by voting the Demo
cratic ticket? Will the Populists
of the county who were in all reason
and fairness entitled to representa
tion on the Democratic ticket vote
to elect that ticket after receiving
a slap in the face at the convention
at Jacksonvill. ? If the rank and
file of the Populist party are of such
stuff The Maie has heretofore mis
taken them. - But the Democratic
party are expeoting them to the
grand obsequious act will they
realize on their expectations?
Mr. Gregory's Denial.
The statement made that I with
drew from the candidacy for the
office of county superintendent of
schools for a money consideration,
is untrue. I have never been asked
to withdraw nor have I authorized
any one to make any proposition of
that nature. My withdrawal oc
curred on Monday morning, May
21st, and was announced to my
friends at that time.

In llehalf of Indian War Veterans,
On tlio rooout ooouelon wlion Repre
sentative Tonguu appeared before llio
pouslou ooumiiuon ol wo House In nil
vooaoy of his Indian War Voturnns'
bill, ho liiatlo an elaboruto speech in
which lio sot forth thu reason why the
bill should have Immediate mid favor
able consideration, If it was to be of any
value to the intended bonellolurio.
His talk was to the point, although llio
time was limited. In addressing tho
committee, Mr. tongue said, In part: '
"In support of this bill, let mu say
onu wortl lu favor of a bund of mun.
rapidly disappearing, whose worth has
nuver ocen reocguiioo., wuoso very ap
Deal for UiBttuu und fair consideration
lias been ignored, who, instead of mer
ited recognition, nave received from
this Government nuuloot and almost
contempt, l rarer to tbu Indian tight
ers of the North Pacific.
"These miigiiilloent and manly old
men, iu the fullest sunse, oomiuerud the
Northwost, annexed It to and made ll
a part of tho United Slalos. -
"Having lived among ihuinaud thulr
defendants for nearly 40 years, buvlng
studied their history aud their charac
ter, heard the story of their trials, thulr
aonfllcts, their hardships and triumphs
from thulr own lips; having known and
loved the land tlioy gave to freedom,
and over which they lloited freedom's
banner, I know their worth, and 1
know llio vulue of their services U
civilization; to free govuroinout, and
ndvancuwunt in our National growth
aud National prosperity."
Following this, Mr. Tongue spoko
quite at length of the conditions which
existed at the time of the occupation of
the Pacltlo Coast by Americans, agalnt
the Indlms, and the Invasion of Groat
Britain's subjects. Uo told of the gov
ernmental neglect of those pioneer
heroes. Said Mr. Tongue :
"Had no hand but that of the Gov
ernment been ralBod to claim and bold
this magnltlcont territory as a part of
tho United Status, it would today float
the Union Jack Instead of tho Stars and
Stripes. It would belong to Groat lirit
ain rathorthan to our own Government.
Kaslern doctrinaires, tbuu as now,
talked about tho evils of expaiioion, llio
danger of too enlarged natural bound
aries, and the sufficiency of our publio
domain to furnish homes for llio Ameri
can peoplo for all time. They prated
about the worthlesmess of Oregon then,
as they discuss the wortblessuess of
Porto itlco, Hawaii and the Philippine
Islands now. These sentiments para
lyzed tho limbs, bound the hands of
this great Republic and lulled II to
sleep, while othors prepared to possess
the land that should bo ours.
"liut where this Government failed
of Its duty, a hand ol pioneer mun and
women, as brave and patriotic and big
hearted as ever faced danger or suffered
sacrifice, took up the work, and savoa
as an Intcgial part of this Governmunl
the futuro home of 60,000,000 people.
The great conflict that ended by mak
ing the Pacific Ocean the then western
boundary of the United Suites, thai
openod the way to the subsequent ac
quisition of California, that made it
possible for this country to become a
world power, that gave us dominlun
over the Pad lie Ocean, annexed Ha
waii, made Dewey anil llio victory at
Manila possible, was won against tho
organized forces o Great Britain, undur
the leadership and direction of the
Hudson's Buy Company, by unaided,
unorganized, . A murieau farmers and
traders, who became thu piuneurs ol
the Northwest.
"Over 2000 mllos of arid plains and
unbroken, rock-ribbed mountains,
chasing the mirage by day, defending
thumsel es from savage beasts and
more savage men by night, they
wended their way westward. Along
their pathway, in many a spot, a fresh
turned sod, wet with women's tears,
covered the victims of savago venge
ance. Weary and worn with travel,
their ranks thinned from repeated con
flicts, they planted tho Stars and Stripes,
defended by their valor and baptized
by their blood, on the shores of tbe
Pacific, there to recoive the first kiss
of the western breeze, and to wave the
last good night to the setting sun."
In conclusion, Mr. Tongue said :
"I do not bolieve I cannot believe
tho American people Indorse or ap
prove this continual neglect aud re
fusal of justice to a portion of their
own citizens. Some other band than
theirs withholds justice. It Is too late
now to benefit these people but little In
a financial way. Pew will survive the
tedious delays in establishing their
claims, Bhould a ponslnn bill bo passed.
But the passage of that bill would en
able the few survivors to realize that at
least at last their fellow-citizens had
expressed a grateful appreciation for
their early struggles, achievements
and sacrifices made for the welfare and
glory of their eonntry. Sooner or later
thn worth and value of their sacrifice,
the heroism of their lives, will be
recognized and gratefully remembered.
Why reserve the expression of this
gratitude and remembrance until the
ear can no longer hear and the heart
oan no longer feel? Why bestow pralBes
and gratitude upon" the doad rather
than upon the living? Whatever we
are to do, it should be done now. for
the living more than for the dead.1'
