In this vicinity the po litiral int does not boil very furiously ; but good cooks say the best flavors are obtained by gentle simmering. Hence we are confi dent that savory stew will obtain when the polt;icl viands are served. Calla noticed in the KstTsaraisE, issue of March 2, a quotation from that paper, and wniments thereon by the Oswego Iron Worker, relating to the nomination of EH C Haddock by the republican convention lor Sheriff. Your correspondent herewith takes exception to those comments, because they seem entirely without point in view of the facts. Possibly the Iron Worker has a Candidate in the field which accounts for Its .mullness. The many friends of Mr. Mad dock heartily endorse the statement of the KirriHritistthat he was unfairly beaten two years aco. He was not beaten by an opio site political party, nor by the nominee of that party ; but by a man In his own the re publicanparty, who used all his influence, not alone to secure the nomination himself, but to defeat his rival at the polls, the latter having been given the nomination. Sup posing, however, we admit that Mr. Mad dock was fairly beaten, still the position taken by the Iron Worker, via: "ibatthe interests of the republican rarty ought not to be sacrificed by again placing him in nomination," is, we believe, without prece dent o doubt Mr. Maddock has man hood enough to rest content in the ultima tum of his party, if by refusing to nominate him they declared him to be "not in it." At any rate " if at first you don't succeed try, try again," is sound principle; and, we admire the stick-to-it-iveness of a man who bears such an experience of defeat as Mr. Maddock had.'in a brave, manly wiy, and when the opportunity is presented is willing to try again. Mr. Eli C. Maddock has a good, clean record as an upright, con scientious citiien among those who know him best. In this vicinity bis name receives favorable mention for the office to which be aspires. A sense of the unfairness which clung around his defeat in 1832, inspires the writer to bespeak for him another trial for the honor which it is in the power of the re publican party to bestow. Will Jones had six young lambs and one ewe killed by dogs owned by Frank Jaggar and Fred Billiard. The latter parties promptly shot their dogs and ottered repara - tion for the sheep. A Teterinarian from Portland came to Cams last week to examine a sick borsa be longing to M. E. London. He pronounced the disease to be glanders; said be would send an order this week tor the horse to be killed. Allowed Mr. London seven dollars and a half damage. Pick Jones is taking a short respite from blacksmithing in Portland and is putting in some good w ork on hisranch. H. C. Higley, a former resident in Cams, came from Mt. Tabor last Sunday and made a short stay ith friends. O. M. May of Mo lalla also made his friends a short visit on Sunday. Letters from Widow Griffith state that she made a safe and pleasant trip to Pasiola. California. She will spend some weeks with her danehter before going on to Wis consin to risit her aged father. Father David Hunter lost a good mare last week. She bad been ailing for some months. Calla. MILWAUKEE MUSINGS. very sick, Uoada hereabouts are Impassable, travel the lower road when we go home.

The Milwaukee republican club met Monday evening with H. Bcott in the chair. After the reading of the minutes, C. H. Dye and J. U. Campbell of Oregon City were introduced. Mr. Dye spoke at some length upon the issues of the day, producing statistics which fully corroborated his statements, thus im impressing upon the minds of the people the necessity of voting the republican ticket in the luture. As the time was grow ing late Mr. Campbell made a brief speech, but one to the point. Both gentlemen proved to be able speakers and we hope they will favor us in the near future with an other visit.

John Bond has about finished a job of grubbing two and one hall acres of hazels for Erastns Covey. John E. Bradle of this place has had the misfortune to lose about one acre and a half of his farm. It moved from the hillside into the creek. While real estate is coming down you can't buy it any cheaper.

We are still having bad weather, mostly rain, but some are plowing nearly every day. Several are ready to commence seeding as soon as the weather settles. That is the beauty of our land up here. We can plow it almost any time. It does not have to be the middle of summer before we can get in our grain.

If the June election gets men on their ear worse than the school meetings did in the Porterand Irvan districts, they will need several deputy sheriffs to keep them straight. Jack Knife Whittling.

What is the matter with the weather clerk, anyhow T Or have we to lay the bad weather to the present administration, as all other things, such as hard times, scarcity ot money and work are said to be caused by it? Why not this miserable weather? There has been no spring seeding done here yet, and very little preparation has been done. At the school meeting on the 5th John B. Park Place Pointers.
