The speaker finished hi address by discussing the money question for a short time. He was opposed to tlie fre coinage of silver upon the grounds that It wa not Just and right for the jreverunient to woik free of chnrg lor one Industrial cla of people whbe It Charged all other. H considered tlie product of the silver mines of lesser Importance than the product of the agriculturalist, the wool grower, the stockman, the lumberman, the or cbardlst and the manufacturer, and that they should receive attention first.

I Did vou rouuivo tlio witness fees ' illegally extracted by your depu ties in state cases? How many deputies if any arc necessary t i conduct your ollieo ut least six month each year? Was tho statement uiado by you that the "tux roll was a mass of errors," false; and was it made to kill oil your most formidablo op ponent, V T Eukiti? Are vou a member of tho State Sheriff's Association, an organiza tion to "protect" salaries, and have you contributed to its funds which have found their wuy into tlie hands of innocent members of tho legislature? Under your administration, how much per ai.num has tho "bust sheriff Lane county ever had" cost the county. Does it amount to over $4,000? Have you refused and neglected to even hunt for safe burglars and robbers, saying that the county did not py you for so doing? Did you keep an account of all mileage traveled and threatened to sue tlie county whon the voters ended your fat job? Why did you send word bo promptly after your nomination, " I'll t hereafter the Guakd would be given a lair proportion of the county printing?" Have you ever made any special exertion to collect taxes, and is it n t a fact that the action of a pre vious sheriff was virtually respon sible for the delinquents paying so promptly? It is important that you should answer these questions honestly Do not whine and say that "Camp bell wants the printing," for this assertion does not givo tho voters any information as to the mal-ad ministration of your .office. And still there arc more to fol low in duo course of time. UK. MOtlKIIEAW." The Salem Daily 1'ost, a republi can paper, yesterday published the fallowing editorial: "Mr Moorhead a Dolph man and a gold bug member of the last legislature is a candidate for the suffrages of the people arrain. If he succeed in securing his election, this paper has only this to say, the people, deserve whatever ills belall them. Moorhead came to Salem opposed to Dolpli:in a short lime he was found in tho little army that supported him. His record through the session was a bad one. lie voted for noarly every bill which increased the taxpayer. Not content with this he succeeded in getting on the committee to dot tho l's and cross the T's of tho journal of the house. For this ho pocketed $10 per day for 24 days. Instead of doing the the work he was to bo paid for, he hired two clerks at the sumo pay, nd then lay back in his chair and smoked cigars. He would like to have the Bamo job again. Hut if the people elect Iiim we hope ho will fleece them until they cry 'enough.' " 'TELL THE TMJl ll." Dsliy Guard, Ma 9. Wo find the following' startling editorial in today's Register: 'The Guard takes Infinite pleasure in referring lo two of the owners of l he Keif ster as democrats, ll a laise- hood was ever published in the Uu Aim such statements are. Every meinlier of the ltegister Publishing Company Is a republican, the names of whom aie enrolled upon the rolls of the Eugene Ilepubllcau Club." Falsehoods ure never intention ally printed in the GL'AKn, as Messrs Uowlund and Howard know, for they were employes of the paper for several years. Probably Howard and Luther Rowland have suddenly changed their political convictions. A little over a vear ago thoy were both democrats, in fact the (lav the Kegisur was turned over to them.

Two of Johnson's highly paid, deputies, in the first year of his administration drew pay from the' county treasury in state cases, as ! witnesses, notwithstanding that their labor had already been se cured for the benefit of tlio tax payers at unusually good wuges for the work demanded. Was this money turned over to "the best I sheriff Lano couirty ever had" to further enrich him? Tho county court stopped this leak, nfter a time, and Johnson was very angry thereat. If he hail the gall to "work" the office for every cent possible during Ins first term what could bo expected of this highly paid pet the second term. Ho is one of the reform gentlemen that believes in "reforming the other fellow." This is another item that his hired organ should explain to tho tax-ridden voters before it is too late. And still there is morn to follow. IWioe. At Irving, Oregoe, May U, wife of I.Uieoin ijoiiu, a son. Not long since an emhent Meth odist bishop in an address loan Kpworth League convention, said, "Self-renunciation, not telf-asscr-tion, is the predominant doctrine of the Christ life. Reverence, hu mility, gratitude and desire are the The Register whines about tho Ci card's account of the Driver Raker scrap at Mohawk. It was impartial and correct. The facts were furnished our reporter by a leading republican who was pres ent and witnessed tho disgraceful affair. It is a matter of record tint Mr. Bailey, candidate for county com missioner, when authorized to put in a small bridge or culvert on tho Siuslaw river road, put in a bill for $22. Tho ounty commissioners court cut the hill down to $G. It would ho good policy to leave Mr. Railey at homo whore he could not have control of the finances of Lane county. The sheriff's association ot which Mr. Johnson is a member had a bill in the last legislature to secure an increase of compensation. The bill had to bo rushod at the end of the session and it has been publicly charged without denial, that $300 was paid from tho slier ill's asso ciation fund to secure prompt en rollment so as to secure ite passngo. Governor Lord stood between the people and tho sheriffs, who sought to secure an increase of salary, and vetoed the bill. The sheriff of Lano county is allowed $2000 a year with perquisites that swell the amount to probably if2r00, yet ho contributed to a fund that was used to corrupt the represen tatives of the people. Tim men who are working for a dollar a day or ure in enforced idleness will remember this when they make up their tax acoount. . Sheriff Johnson says that this paper has published threo sale notices since ho has been an olhcer of this county. This is true but not without his remonstrance. At torneys compelled him to sign the same and they brought th adver tisements to this office. However, he neglects to Bay anything anout another certain notice which was ordered published in this paper about two weeks prior to the repub lican primaries. A republican at torney brought a notice lo this office and ordered it printed. A day thereafter Johnson appeared and demanded that the notice be re turned to him. 1' We firmly refused, and referred him to tho attorney in tho case. He said he had seen tho d d attorney and he utterly refused, (and of course he hsd a right to do so, legally.) The next lay he returned in a much differ ent spirit, and told us he was afraid that if the notice whs not given to his pet the Register that lie would have trouble in so- curing a renomination. ' I Ins was stated with tears in his eyes. Out of sympathy for the "poor" man we .handed it over to hurt. At this he felt much better as tho a vision of second term of his $2,000 sinecure was in sight.

Driver s.iys if he is elected he will vutu for John II. Mitchell for senator. This will he a su prise to tho people ns it was gen'-rall v i-up posed ho would vote for himself, tor in his mind, no greater man exists than I D Driver, who has h en "offered every office between New York and Oregon." Mr. Touguo has declaro I hiimelf to bo a dear money man a gold bug. That should settlo tho mat ter as fur as this festive gentleman is concerned. The producing in terests of Oregon should see to it that every dear money office seeker that pops up his head should promptly have it knocked off comparatively spoaking. Oregon at this tune, cannot allord to be misrepresented. Harry Miller-was in the combine to beat Hermann, That combina tion effected its purpose. Mr. Mil ler put up his money, ur the same thing, his indorsement on the Reg ister note, and now dictates what shall be tho policy of that paper. Mr. Miller is a public spirited man, but his connection with the Dolph Orcgonian crowd will not secure any voles fo the republican ticket in Lane county. Tho Oregoiiiau has a good deal to say about tho "Mitchell repub licans:" It is putting in time working for Dolph republicans. 1'ho people prefer the former if the choice must be made lietween the two. Tho autocrat of tho Oregon inn does not represent the senti ments of the people of Oregon. They too well remember the part taken by tho Orcgonian in the work of repealing the mortgage tax law and deduction of indebted ness clause of our lux law. This was to have reduced interest charges and brought more capital into the state. Kvery one knows that has not happened. Instead thousands of poor men are being opposed by tho law compelling them to pay taxes on property which they do not own if forced to a settlement with creditors. It is a false pro phet. Union Scout: "The Rev. I. D. Driver is a candidate for the legis lature on the republican ticket of Lane county and is working the dynamos with muscular ability. The counter curront. of politic and theologi connecting with the vacutn tubes in his head piece generates a species of mental X rays that re veals his thimtle-full of brains in all their abnormal convulsions. He lias strayed from his bailiwick f ir enough to reach Roseburg and his utterances at that place, as re ported by the newspapers, are enough to disgust anybody. Hii mind is, evidently, a mass of cor ruption fetid with sixteenth cen tury barbarism, bigotry end in tolerance. That the republican party of Lane county should put such a mental nondescript forward as a representative man and lair- maker proves that H la extremely bard up for material." The Broad-Axe truthfully says: "The Register man has gone daft on the question of election of sher iff. No wonderl lie sees gaunt- eyed hunger staring him in face. The handwriting is on-the wall the wolf is at the door the butter for his biscuit is growing smaller and smaller, as he sees Sheriff Johnson's chances for re-election sinking behind the political hori z in. No use, boys, the people are determined to sweep the court- house stable, horse, foot and dra goon. No use talking about bow Mr. Noland conducted the sheriff's office in the past, that has no bear ing on tbe question of how John soi has run the offioe, only in bo far as the comparison of the ex penses of the ollice under Noland was paid mainly by Noland, while the expenses of the office under Johnson has been paid wholly by the people of the county. Quite a difference." Driver has told near and far that he met Ingersoll in debate and that gentleman acknowledged that the worst opponent he ever met wai a "Methodist circuit rider out In Oregon." There are .4 doaen or more reliable gentlemen residing in Eugene who know tha faoti in the case. After the olose of Inger soil's lecture in Khinehnrt's hall, almost the whole audience hoving dispersed, and Mr. Intjersoll being engaged with a few friends i con versation, Mr. Driver came forward and asked him some question re garding statemmta purported to have been mado in Portland. Mr. Ingersoll denied having made the statements attrib ited to him. After remark about the lecture of the evening the parties separated. About two we-ks after that Mr.( Driver answered Ingcrsoll'i lecture at the court house. These are facts about the case as may be proved by reliable witnesses. Driver has romanced alxiut this few uinutes talk with the noted infidel so he has brought himself to believe that the debate actually happened.
