Nominees for Presidential Elector?, D. P. THOMPSON, of Multnomah, WARREN TRUITT, of Polk, J. C. LEASURE, of Umatilla. People Iii Their Majesty- The peop'.e of the United States are about to engage in the solemn duty of another Presidential election. We call it a solemn duty, for it is one in the largest sense. 3he political policj and destiny of our own vast population, andmore or less, 01 the welfare of the peop'e of the whole world, are em braced in that contest. It is to de cide on our interests at home, and it is to strengthen or weaken our influ ence in behalf of the political ills of all men. We must have processions meetings, fireworks, bonfires, and all the access ories that go to show the interest of each party in its principles and its candidate. All this is right, for it is patriotism. John Adams never breathed a more fervent and patriotic utterance than when he declared that the Fourth of July should be celebrat ed with the. greatest possible excite mrnt of this kind forever. But let us not forget that our ballots ore to be not less potent upon the interests of ths country than were the bullets of the fathers in the early times. A Presidential election is therefore a time when the patriot should well consider his duty. In" the hour of trial the American people have never f ailed in their fidelity to the true inter ests of the country. Sometimes they have given blight indication of their purpose, but when the lime arrived they never have failed to uphold the honor and mnjesty of the land. There is perfect freedom of speech and en tire liberty of the press. Hence there is no limit to the language or the methods in which a campaign may be conducted. In all this we dhow again our fidelity to the principles upon which our government is based. But'on or before election day each voter must decide what he is going to do personally in this contest. Ho must look at the history of the Repub lican party for thirty ysar, he must gaze upon the increased greatness of the country in that period of time, and he must decide if it is well to thrust aside the men who are the rep resentatives of the measures which have produced all these benefits. The facts are beforo the people. Intelli gence and patriotism guide the public mind and heart. At this time, as at all others, the people are certain to consider these matters with wisdom, . and act for the best interests of the country. Judging from the past, iudg ing from occasion after occasion, there can be no doubt that the majority of the voters' will declare for the Repub lican party. A Singular Order. Leland, Or., March 31, 1884. I H. Klippel, Esq , County Clerk. J Please lc tho bearer, Chas. Nickell, have all the county scrip that is in your office for me and obliga L. N. Browning Franklin Genia E. G. Browning D. T. Wallace W. Henry Pollock J. 1). Post A. E. Wright A. J. Hall W N Pollock B. A. Pollock II. C. Mcintosh T. E. Wallace J. T. Eurrerf" Joseph C. Dysert. "The above is the emended order underWhich Mr.'Xickell made tho Ug draw hi-Jno Browning case. It will be observed that the order is in the singular number and directed to Henry Klippel, County Clerk. If this order could bi lawfully honored by Mr. Parker under whom he drew these warrants it could be honored by any subsequent Clerk -and thus be made perpetual for the drawins of any scrip these gentlemen might hate in the office at any time to come. But the ludicrous conundrum in the above order is: Who is "mej"' There are fourteen me's. Now where is the dauntless spirit among them who will starid out as the accredited objective representative of tho me'sl Wo are in darkness. Stand up Charles and ex plain. If Lord Browning had been examin ing a lot of red-handed dynamiters and titling as tho Czar's special body guard he. could not have shown a nioie supremo contempt for expenses than ho did in tho piincely examination of Keller's unpretentious work-hands. More Civil Service! BCniP AXD "EFFICIESCT IV THE TOILS. THE PIED EDITION DISCOUNTED. SOMETniNQ FOIt TAXTAYEKS TO READ. The Sentixel charged in its last two issues that a fruud had been commit ted upon the Treasury of this county by Mr. Nickell in the double druwing of a warrant upon the older of A. E. v right for the same service. It now turns out that the charge was truesnd that Mr. Nickell plead guilty by wr rendering the extra warrant, whicb, by order of the Board, was attached to the stub and cancelled and a record of the fact spread upon the commission er's journal. Upon further investiga tion it transpires that Mr. Nickell is not alone in this double drawing busi ness. The record shows that Sherill Jacobs drew mileage for serving pai en as Sheriff antl mileage at the sump timo as a witness. If this were Mr. Jacob's first term h might be excused on the score of not knowing better; but it ia his Eecond, and he ought to have known and did know that con structive mileage is expressly forbid den by statute in any case. Other Parties in this celebrated Browning case drew double pay, a detailed state ment of all which will appear next week. The record 'showing the return and cancellation of the warrant sur rendered by Mr. Nickell is a lme and iirpotent affair and in no sense what it t-hould be. It does not state by whom the warrant was drawn nor by whom returned, nor who was notified to return it or how it came to bo re turnrd; and the only exp'anation con cerning it is there was an error com mitted in drawing it. n making up this record there seems to have been a studied effort to cover up everything except the mere fact that the spuiious warrant had been returned and can celled. It is in fact a negative white washing of a deliberate attempt to swindle the county. Mr. Ni-.-kell had two or.lers from Mr. Wright, one dated March 28th and the other March "31st, same year, only three days a) art. Will any one pretend to say Mr. Nick ell is so defective in memory or absorb ed in business that he would forget what he had drawn under one order and go immediately and dmw the same thing under another? If Mr. Wright who, it is said, gave this second order for the same service is a cunning scoundrel, which we do not believe, it would not excuse or justify Mr. Nick ell in aping him and thus making him self a party to the hcurvy and scoun drally transaction. We call upon the District Attorney, whose duty it is to protect tax payers, to investigate the charges herein made and to force a strict compliance with the law what ever he may find it to be. If the pret ent Board had a legal right to reverse the action of its predecessor 111 the case noted, let us know where its jurisdiction ends; and whether or not it may not go back indefinitely and reverse the act of any preceding Board, without regard to time. As thU question has been raised by an import ant act of the Board, let us know what its powers and duties are and where thev begin and end. A Goool Family of "Draw ers." In the first investigation of the charges preferred against Kelly's men Mr. Browning drew as Justice's fees $21.35. This was for 2J days service; his son, L. N. Browning, boarded the crowd and charged S1G.50. The District-Attorney appeared upon tho scene during the investigation, and dismissed tho case as wholly without authority of law. In the second investigation after the second arrest for substantial ly the same charge Mr. Browning charged as Justice fees $13.25. His son, L. N. Browning, charged as clerk for writing down G8 folios of prelimi nary evidence $17.00. And in iiddi tion to tliis unheard-of-service he run a boarding house and charged for board ing defendents and constable $10.00. Tlio Browning "draw" foots up the neat little sum of $78 00. At this august and princely tiibunal there were first and last one convta'Me and six deputy constables, and they togeth er drew $85.45. Lest some one should think, with all this grand flourish of stupendous ignorance and expense there was something unusually dark and criminal in the charge, we have-to stato that the accused were held to answer and were brought to this place and immediately discharged by Judge Webter upon a writ of habeas corpus and this ended a farce,- thp like of which is without a parallel in this country. The cost bill tor this crimi nal stupidity was disallowed by the old board "xcept for bringing defen dants to Jacktonvillr; but the new board took up the matter when it came into existence and allowed tl e whole of it including in a number of in timces in which there was double service and double pay. Aside from the question of law involved in the action of the new board in this allow ance it has shown n liberality worthy of a better lmusp. The bottom facts in. thii Browning business have not ! vetVbeen told, and circumstances alone I wilrUleteriMine their publication. Reply To Ingersoll. Through the kindness of Rev. Father Blanchet we were favored with a copy of the "Monitor" which contained the reply of Father Gleeson to Ingersoll and also considerations of the rational ism of Ingersoll by Rev. Henry A. Bfani. These twj documents contain the most powerful arguments against the ideas advanced bf Ingmoll that have ever appeared in piiut and will doubtless set the great apostle af Infi delity and Ateism to thinking, and doubtless the protestant world who have been listening to Ingersoll in the belief that they were enj lying religious liberty will consult their Bibles and lind that they are enjoined not to iisten to the counsels of the ungodly or to sit in the scat of the scornful, or walk in the way of sinners. Tho fol lowing passage from Rev. Bram is enough to establish the christian relig ion: "Any man who can gaze at the beauty of the universe, its order and design, its variety of stream, moun tain and forest, the ariegated charms of its .flower bedecked plains, its round of changing seasons, the planetary sys tem of which it forms a part, the mill ion orbs that float in glorious splendor in the blue canopy above us; who can listen to the sighing of the breeze, the roar of the whirlwind, tho pealing of the thunder, tho sinking of the bird?, and study the multiform species of life, vegetable and animal, the strange instincts of brutes and tho wonderful laws of reproduction, and not admit a supreme, intelligent and omnipotent caU'C of all is fit only for a lunatic asylum. Every science points to this intelligent cause as its last and sole exp'anation; geology, botany, chemis try, astronomy all tell of a mystery, a tin s'.ery insoluble by the investigat ing mind of man; a mystery pointing to a cause like unto man as its author, and infinitely superior to man in knowledge and powur; a nrystery soluble only by the admission of a Supremo Architect who built the mounta:ns and hurk-d the mighty bouldrrs hither and thither as he listed; who planted the first seed, created the first egg or bird, gaelaws to tlia stars and bade the winds and waves come nivl go at the dictate of his Almighty will. 'Our very feelings speak of God. The voice of the human race speaking through the fetish wor shippers of Central Africa, as well us through the learned men of the Athenian Arropolis and of tho Roman Capitol, cries out that there is a God, omnipotent and supremely intelligent." The Outlook. In conversation with a number of gentlemen who have just made a tenr of the Willamette valley with a view to business wo were informed that busi ness prospects wero no better there tlian here. A serious shrinkage in values and, as a result, a corresponding decline in business, with- few invest ments,, and money clos?, and only to be obtained on the best security was noted on every hand. For reasons which need not be given here, there is always a tightness a stringency at each recurring presidential election Money is drawn in, the manufacturing interest lags, the various avenues of trade and commerce are more or les influenced and affected and all the multiplied industries of the country are touched and tempered by existing canditious and altogether a general depression in business is felt and ob served thoughout the entire country. When the products of a country are low and dull in the market, capital locked up and slo- to invest, manu facturing and commercial interests, in a great measure, paralized and labcr out of employment, what could be ex pected but close times? A solution of our local trouble may be found, in part, in the decline of Northern Pacific and tho 1 paction which invariably fol lows the flush tinirs attending such enterprises. This difficulty is immeas urably increased by the fact thit our European market for grain has been cut off by the large home crop and fhifmrnts from Austria, and weliare therefore little to rely upon but home consumption; and the consequence is Oregon wheat goes begging at a pi ice for which it cannot be raised. So far as Jackson county is concerned, if all reports be true, we are full as well off as other sections of the Stato and hae no right to complain. Our graneries are full, we have cattle on a thousand hills, people are healthy and let us eat, drink and be merry for there is a better time coming, besides this ia one of the mot delightful countries in the world to live in and life is living. Whatever other conclusion may be reached concerning the developments at the court house, it must be patent to all that matters are bping conducted there with a loose hand; and that if more care and caution are not exercised in the future there will be serious trouble. Late revelations have aroused a well grounded suspicion that all is not as it should be, and those charged with the conduce of public affairs would do well t) bo warned in time and redouble their vigilance to tho end that public confidence may again be restored.
