No Longer a Democrat.
In the Oregtmian of March 6th, a
sheep-raiser, originally from Texas,
speaking of tbe financial condition of
Crook county, said: . .
"1 fought in tbe Houtbern army to
retain, I supposed, my rights. The
result wa I lost my negrxs, my ranch
and my money. Ho much for lighting
for tbe Booth. I then came to East
ern Oregon and engaged lu the sheep
business, I wus proMrons, and voted
the democratic ticket, both national
and local. Things moved along nicely
until too many voted the democratic
ticket and Cleveland was elected. The
result Is, I get nothing for my wool,
can't pay my herders or store bills, aud
am hi the same fix I was in, if not
worse, after the war. Now, I have
three boys, all growu, who bave, as
well as myself, alway voted the demo
cratic ticket, but who will never again
vote the the democratic national ticket.
I am tired of puucblng my own eyes
out."
When the count Is made in Grant
county on the eve of June 4tb, It will
be found that there are quite a number
In that county who are tired of punch
ing their eyes out.
