Mr. Ogle and tome of the other "Citi zens" seem to feel injured because the Republican luve taken up the Initiative and Referendum amendment aud favor its adoption. These people are very hard to please. During the years when there wai a Populist party to advocate this reform Mr. (Vie, constantly con demned the Republican pity lor not ac cepting it aa a whole. Hi Tvmoeratic friends used it as a lure to draw i lie Pop ulist vote in the fusion campaign of I'M), and had used it in the same way in pie vious years, but can Mr, 0le name any State iu which the citizens have even submitted the measure to the people! In Nebraska, where the ''peerless Bry an" and other fusionibts have been strong for years, they have made no serious ef fort to submit any such amendment to the people. Since the fusion and Democratic na tional platform declared in ''favor of Di rect Legislation wherever practicable," the democrats of Missouri and Montana have defeated the subiniesion of such an amendment to the people of their States The Republican party is a growing and progressive party. It is willing to accept sation. These laws he cites: First The taking away from the sheriff (ha county printing. The sheriff never con trolled any printing except the herlli"s sales. The tax sale bas been taken from all sheriffs and It has saved money to do it, not only in Clackamaa but in all coun ties. Mr. Cooks saya be got nothing out of this printing, so this could not reduce his pay ao aa to ask the county to pay bis deputy. Second The boarding of county prisoners, he says, na taken away from the sheriff.

The election of the ticket from top to bottom by lae majorities is confidently weeded. The Citia. n are making a weak campaign. They have nothing to stand on. Their plat form is a confused jiiinhlo of aord and carries no weight. Their leader ate men in whom the voters have iu confi dence and will turn down on election dity. COCNTT TICKET.

To the Editoh: Will vnn kindlv allow me mince to utate a few facts in con- nection with the Citizens' meeting held in Mulino on hint Thurs day night? I wish to tell my friend O. W. Easthatn that when Robert Schucbel asked him the question on what lines ho pro posed to reform this county, he should have offered some rem edy, instead of attacking his personal character. I have known Mr. Schuebel from my childhood, and a truer or more honest man never lived. When a boy, he spent his years in helping his parents in making a home, and even the earnings of his early manhood were given to help them. As a married man, he has been successful in managing his own affairs. By hard, honest toil, he has secured a pleasant home for himself, and I think he owes no man a dollar. It certainly seems to nie that a man who is trying to secure the suffrages of the people displays poor judg ment and a lack of gentlemanly action when he undertakes to destroy the character of a man who desires information. To say the least, an individual who betrays the private confidence of his fellow man in order to succeed, builds his hopes on a precarious foundation. Robeht Ginther. I JiSINCEBITI OF THE "REFORMERS" Hon. George Ogle, in a ratber bitter let ter in last week's Courier Herald takes exception to our statement that "Direct Legislation is a general term, meaning all forma of direct voting by the people in cluding candidates as well as measures. Initiative and Referendum is the mean ing of that limited part of Direct Legisla tion that refers to the preparing and making of laws by direct vote of the peo ple." He says thia will prove a revela tion to those who, after studying the sub ject for eight or ten years, thought they understood it. We quote the following from Mr. Ogle's favorite author, J. W. Sullivan: "The town meetiDg of New England is the counterpart of the Swiss communal polit ical meeting. Roth assemblies are the primary form of the politico-social organ ization. Both are the foundation of the structure of tbe State. The essential ob jects of both are tbe same: to enact local regulations, to elect local officers, to fix local taxation, and to make appropri ations for local purposes." Forty years ago, basing their theory on the communal meeting of some of tbe Swiss States which is precisely the town meeting of New England some advanced Swiss citizens formally proposed an extension of Direct Legislation to the states and thence to the Confederation." Tbe Enterprise printed the editorial to which 31 r. ugie taxes exception trom a desire t) call the attention of tbe people directly to the Initiative and Referen dum, as that is the title under which the new ideas in government when they are presented in a practical form and it has therefore taken np and will push through to adoption the Initiative aud Referen dum inOiegon. By the way, if Mr. Ogle will compare the columns of the Enterprise and his "reform" paper, the Courier Herald, for the past few weeks, be will find that where his paper gives only a line to this measure, tbis paper gives five at least, and tbis comparison holds good for the Democratic and Republican newspapers of the State. More than that, Mr. Ogle's "Citizens" combination during their whole evening at Oswego never mentioned the Initiative and Referendum. He cannot find a place in Clackamas County where the Republicans have ignored this measure since the beginning of the campaign. The Republican candidates generally are printing the words "Vote for the Initia tive and Referendum amendment" on their election cards. Will "Citizens" do at much? If Mr. Ogle's "Citizen" friends are re ally so sincere and enthusiastic in their demand for the Initiative and Referen dum, why don't they say something about it? Why have not Democrats and fusionists submitted similar amendments to the people in those States where they have absolute control, and have had for many years? STANDS UP A5D FALLS DOWK, Sheriff Cooke pleads guilty to three at tbe four questions that tbe Enterprise asked him two weeks ago but tries to offer excuses for bis delinquencies. A man who poses as a reformer and ia of fering to reform every thing in the county should be judged by what he has done in tbe past. Mr. Cooke is not a candidate but be bas charge of the bunch of stars posing as tbe true and only reformers. Aa to tbe first question we asked him he replies that be paid bia deputy for eight months of his first term and then got tired and asked tbe county to pay the deputy for the last sixteen months of bis term because certain law a were passed taking away part of bia com pen- Mr. Cooke's salary at this time was 42000 and the the cut was to take effect at the end ot his term. Mr. Cooke can vassed the county, said the salary was too high and said he would pay his dep uty. He did pay the deputy for a short time and then asked the county to pay the deputy. He offers bis excuse in last week's Courier-Herald. It is for the Mors to say if it is sufficient. Now as to the rake off on the county printing. He says he got nothing out of it. Then why does he say to the board, when he asked them to pay his deputy, that part of his compensation had been taken away from Into when he lost the printing. He has told me himself that be got 25 per cent but tnat it was for collecting the bid of the printer. When he knows that the exe cution or order of court commands him to collect the costs (and the printing is one item of cost; as much as it does the sum named in the execution. Mr. Fitch and Mr. Cheney both told me that be demanded 20 per cent and they have told others the same thing. As to my offering him one third, we never had any conversation in which I offered or dis cussed the question ol offering him one third or any other part of the printing to get it. He never controlled the whole of tbe printing to give to any one. As to his salary I have said that he received $2000 for the first term and he knew what bis salary would be when elected for the second term but he im mediately tried as a true reformer to bave it raised in accordance with tbe bill published in another column although no other officer went to Salem and urged tbe passage of the bill. At the "Junk Sale," so called, does be not know that tbe sale could bave been conducted in two days, if not in one, and that only one piece was sold on some days. Was it for tbe reason that tbe county was paying him $1700 a year, besides two deputies in bis office, that be tried to get extra pay for this sale. Or is it constitutional with him as a re former to endeavor to get extra pay on all occasions or at least to get an extra deputy to do the work. As a matter of fact between man and man we think the Onk hears less and lens of the talk that County Judge Thomas F. Kyan will bave a bard fight for re-election. Pels have been made that he will have -100 plurality and tbe ltyau end bas been taken by a man who has made a close study of the situation. They like and tiust the man who served one term as judge of Clackamas County and will testify o their confidence in him on Juno second. j - If there was ever one thing certain it was the fact that the Hepublican noniln- i ations for county ofllcers were made ie girdles ol anything but the qtialiflea. j lions of the men and the territorial di vision. The bowl of the Citizen reform, i i era that a slate was fixed up by "TIIK ; BOSS" and that the Republican ticket is idle and without foundation. ! I.' '.
