Wanteh A platform on which the Democrats of Clackamas county can stand and wage a legitimate contest against the present Republican county officers. The Clackamas couuty Democracy was reduced to desperate conditions in finding men who wou'd accept their various nominations on the county ticket.

The Democratic mathematician of the Courier has discovered that there is a discrepancy of $14,000 in the recent semi-annual reports of the county officers, hence it must follow that Clackamas county has been robbed of that amount. A little in Testigating would have convinced even our contem porary that any charge of shortage or misplaced funds was quite entirely without foundation. Theke is another fact in connection with the semi annual reports of the county officers, recently mad public, that the Enterprise has failed to comment on That is this: These reports were issued promptly on April 1, the time required hy law. This is the first time in the history of the county that these statements have been made as by law directed. It is in striking contrast with the condition of affairs two years ago, when the Democratic-Fusion combination did not pub lish the reports until late in the month of Mav and did so then at the command of the court. And now the Republican county officers are charged with getting away with about $14,000 in county funds. But then the Democrats muBt have something to talk about. It is only to be wondered what they will next allege. In making these various accusations, the Democrats fail to charge the Republicans with "get ting away" in the last twelve months with about $80, 000 of the county's warrant indebtedness, the cancel lation of a road debt of 17,000, and at tae same time accomplishing a reduction in the current expenses of the county from $69,000 to $37,000 in the last six months. These are the facts but of course they would not look well in a Democratic paper and would not aerve the purposes of the questionable campaign that has been inaugurated by that party in this county in connection with county affairs. THE C0UHIER MAKES A DISCOVERY. The semi-annual report of the sheriff of Clackamas county, published in the Enterprise of April 8, 1904 snows me amount 01 money ani warrants received for taxes, aud money paid to the county treasurer by the sheriff of Clackamas county, Oregon, for the six months ending on the 3 1st day of March, 1W4." The sum paid to the treasurer is stated as $19J,8n.i.27. The treasurer's statement covering the same period of time shows that he has received from the sheriff the Bum of $17,340.74. It is thus seen that there is a discrepancy in the two accounts of $14,524.53. Where is that money? The sheriff certifies that it is not in Lis hands while the treasurer certifies that he has not received it. .A "Semi-Annual Summary Statement " published with the reports of the county officers but pijrned by no one and certified to by no one states that' there was no money in the hands of the sheriff on the 81st day of March.. 1!)04, applicable to the payment of1 county warrants. Thus it appears by the testimony ! n 1 :rc il . .

The Kind You Have Always Bought Boars tho Signaturo of AAtf Ej In Use For Over Thirty Years ASTORIA THE SOUTH AND THE PRESIDENCY. Signs are not wanting that the South desires a President from its own confines, and these siens have- not escated the eyes of the Democratic ooiitieiana. They confess that material for a 'candidate is some how lacking; that the Democracy looks toward no one prophet in this season when the land of promise seems to them near; they speak but two names, both of New York and one almost an impossibility if tradition is to hold sway. And in their meditation on these thirura the party seers have suddenly remembered the strong hold of Democracy the Solid South. It is m ailed that this oection in forty years has been unrepresented in the Presidency, and emphasis is' laid on the fet that the Southern loyalty to the party deserves recotr nition and reward. But the question is. Has the time comer The Atlanta Constitution boldly affirms that the aoumerner is Hereafter "available." It proclaims that "the whirligig of time has left the political trhnnls of the dead past no issue or prejudice, based on the half-forgotten struggle of the sections, that can influ Ar.y.

It will merely ask that its public men be taken on their intrinsic merits, without historical or geographical Dreiudice " So the Savannah News and the Macon Telegraph. So a baker's dozen of the strong men of the Democratic party in Congress. Congressman Champ Clark says me oarring oui 01 isouinern men irom President a and Vice Presidential nominations is arrant non- sense." Maynard, of Virginia, says "the time is ripe ior giving a aouinern man recognition on the Pres - dential ticket." Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, thinks it would not hurt the party's chances, and John Sharp Williams, the minority leader, is held up as a good example of the sort of timber the South could provide. But there is still a large conservative element among the Southern statesmen. They are willing to say, wun me Atlantic constitution, that the South demands its rights, but they also say with that journal, ''The South will not demand it this year, but ict, me wuoie reuniiea country oe put on notice that tne lorty years' embargo is ended with the ides of next aoyember, and that thereafter no point of 'avail ability' is to be raised against the strongest men of the nation simply because they happen to hail from the Southern states." Congressman Little, of Arkansas, thinks ''we can wait a liitle longer for the national recognition which will eventually come to us." Two Northern representatives Schober, of New York, and Thayer, of Massachusetts think the time is not ripe; personally, they favor the notion, but they fear the loss of doubtful sta'tes. Yet after all, thirteen -out of twenty-five prominent Democrats interviewed by the New York Herald, speak out boldly for a Southern nominee. They gay there is weakness to be overcome, and that there is no candidate in the orth who is able to strengthen his of three witnessesthe sheriff, the treasurer and thoi party as it must be strengthened to win this venr.
