CLACKAMAS COUNTY THE ENTERPRISE CORRESPOND ENTS SWEEP THE FIELD. Kpablloan Meeting at Oswego Deep Interest Shown Messrs. Strung and Rrownell the Orators. Oawttio, Fob. 27. The wigwam of the Oswego Republican club was filled on Satur day evening when chairman K. U Minus In tntdured the Hon. Ueo. C. Hrownell, chair man of the county central committee, and Prof. H. 8. Strang, deputy county clerk, who had been invited by the club to ad drees tlie voters of this precinct upon the political Unites of the dav. Prof. Strange, in speech lasting over - three-fourths of m hour, wherein he placed before his listeners the clear and indisputa ble benefits of protective policy, went far tovarde convincing the few irresolute dem ocrars present of the folly of free trade. His peech showed that be had read and thought deeply upon the needs of the Amer ican people, and by his quiet, unostenta tious niaiiner and perlect delivery he en gaged the undivided attention of the entire assembly. Of Mr. Brownell, what need I say but that he has the entire confidence and suit port of the entire republican party. His elo quence and clear arguments simply clinch the nail on the other side of our protective plank. One noticeable fact was the absence of the bloody flag on this occasion which has been done to death, and it is such orators as Messrs. Strange and Ilrowrell who aill win tbe political battle of the republican party by railing the attention of the w arking peo ple to clean candid facts. On Thursday evening, February M, IYoseer's hall was filled to over Honing by a large and enthusiastic audience, the occa sion being a " Washington's Birthday" en tertainment and exhibition given by the pupils of Oswego school assisted by some of the best local talent.

May as secretary. Col. R. A. Miller had been invited to be present for the pHrpose of entering into a joint discussion, but this part of the pro gram failed to come off.

FROM ANOTHER I'ORRKSPOWDERT. New Era, Feb. 27.-On the night or Feb ruary 20 thieves entered the store of J. C.

Mr. New. bury offers a reward of one hundred dollars for the arrest and conviction of the guilty parties. Many acts of theft have been com mitted in this locality of late, chicken roosts and granaries being the most frequently visited.

There will be an en tertainment at Canemah on the evening of Tuesday, March 6th on the occasion ol the closing exercises of our school term at which we shall have assistance From New Era. New Era, Feb. 21. We had the pleas ure, or rather displeasure, of listening to G. R. Miller, of Highland, the great German populist, who delivered an address on the existing evils and their remedy. Mr. Miller evidently came down here with the inten tion of capturing tbe German vote of this locality. But e are pleated to say the Germans of this neighborhood are all good American citizens, and can fully under stand the English language, and cannot be humbugged by Mr. Miller or any one else enough to believe that the republican party is the cause of tbe panic and distress which is abroad in our land. And besides Mr. Mil ler made several erroneous statements which there was not even one populist would undertake to bear him out in. We insist that it takes logical facts to explain the situ ation of today, and that there is no use of any one tackling an audience with a chewed rag tirade suck as was executed by Mr. Mil ler last night. We stayed and listened until 11 o'clock and heard plenty of the existing evils but not one remedy. Would it not be wiser and better to give us more remedy and less evil? We all see and experience the evil every day; but the remedy is not so easily gotten at. You can always get into a muddle with less exertion than you can get outof it. Milwaukee Melange. MilwaTkek, F'eb. 21. The job of repair ing the old Hume under the Standard flour ing mill has been completed after two weeks of hard and diflicult labor. The high water in January caused an extra pressure more than the old flume could stand and about 125 feet gave way. This caused a shutdown in the shoddy mill which will resume opera tions soon. The change of time in the East Side Elec tric railroad is very beneficial to its patrons. It now baa a new schedule running every forty minutes In place of hourly trips. 8. C. Priestly and 8.
