ANOTHER LIE NAILED.
Myrtle Creek, May 20, 1800.
Eurrou Plai.ndealeu : Will you pleaso
givo me a few lines in your paper.
Aloxander Dumas spoke of his own
death a great many timos iu his last
months. Ho had been frail for years.
Ho thought that his powers wcro failing
and ho often said to his best friends that
"when a man comes to my age, the best
thing ho can do is to hold his tongue and
hiB pen." Ho used to tell over and over
again Inw Guy de Maupassant had said
in tho days when tho black clouds first
began to ecttlo over his brain, 'I wish I
were rich enough not to bo obliged to
writo only one moro book, n short one,
of which I should always continue to
write. I should order it burned on tho
day of my death." So I think tho best
thing the Roseburg Review can do is to
closo its booths half-bit and listen to the
noise that the Floed is throwing into the
people's earB in Douglas county. When
the Flced is raging the Fishes swim and
tho Broom cleans away the trash from
his neighbor's door yard.
The Roseburg Review has jumped on
to the A. P. A. '8 without knowiug where
they wanted to go, and mako broad as
sertions and print them as the truth,
when I know, for one, that it is a black
premeditated lie, and has no foundation
whatever, when they say that I had any
thing to do with one of the candidates
drawing off from the ticket for sheriff.

J. R. SOVEREIGN'S SPEECH.
J. R. Soverign, dhe noted champion
of the Knights of Labor, was introduced
to a Rosoburg audience last night at tho
court houso by J. W. Mullen of this city.
Mr. Sovereign waB greeted by a tolerably
full houso, which ho entertained for one
hour and fifty minutes. Ho is u very
good talker and understands how to
keep his audience in good humor by fre
quent interjection of anecdotes of a la-
dicious nature, eorao npplicablo to the
point and Borne not so. His speech as a
hole was the samo old populietic story,
scathing condemnation of the old
parties, which, ho said, has been the
canse of all the financial troubles now
upon us, by their vicious legislation,
favoring tho rich as against the poor.
He gave the national banks tho nsual
castigation and praised President Jack
son for setting down on tho "national
bank" in 1820, because he was in favor
of the people and not the bankers, who,
he said were fighting for its continuance.
But old Hickory squelched it as did Her
culese tho hydra struck off its nine
heads.
He gave a graphic description of the
way and inanuer in which the monoy
K)wcr in congress, with "damnable in
tent," has manipulated tho currency,
sometimes by laws and sometimes with
out laws, and often timca against laws,
but always in tho interest of the money
power. This money power has tried two
schemes, ho said, to control the money
but failed because the people lose up
against it, so now the money power has
determined upon another plan, which is
to iesue bouds for $500,000,000 to buy
gold li redeem all the greenlucks, treas
ury notes aud silvericertiticatcs and des
troy I hem and allow the banks to fur
nish their paper currency without proper
security.
The republicans and democrats in
congress, both in the interest oi Kotbs
childs of England, have been frighten
ing the people with threits of Hi'h, that
and the other calamity; by throwing
false issues in their faces to whip them
nto the support of men for congress who
are 50 years behind the times for prog
ress and 50 years ahead iu rascality.
But, he said, we populists are not to
bo scared. We will continue the fight
and keep in the middle of the road.
Eternal vigilanco is the price of safety"
and we populists will fight to the finish,
Tho old parlies ask tho people lo stand
by them but we will 'stand alone. The
trength of a chain, he raid, is measured
by its weakest link ; co the strength of a
government is measured by its weakest
policy. If we do not legislate to
strengthen the people's interest, the
policy must finally be broken. Tho peo
ple's interest, not backed by tho money
power, is the weakest, and it this link is
broken the government will be torn
asunder. The populist if put in power
will strengthen this weak point give
them free and unlimited coinage of sil-
er, tho panacea for all our national ills.
He said the demonetization of silver
1S73 was not the causa of our financial
trouble, it was the limitation of silver
coinage. 1 1 is not the tariff that worries
the old parties, it is the "tear off" they
fear. He said if the free coinage of sil
ver will drive gold out of the country, let
go, wo don't own it we owe it to the
Rothschilds. Sherman, Cleveland and
Carlislo have agreed to pay the London
money king all the gold we have, and
more too. He said silver in 1S73 was
worth moro than gold, and we stole the
difference and gave it to gold.

A POPULIST SPEECH.
Euitok Plainokaleu: Wu were up at
Oakland last Friday evening to hear
Honorable Mr. Vanderlmig make his
pojmliat speech. Tu say he got rattled
n handling the tariff question is only
pulling it in a mild form; but thu worst
of it was when he began to lead extracts
from some of the noted statesmen, as he
called them, such aa Jack bod, Jefferson
and others on tho National Banks. He
misquoted them, and had ho read the
entire paragraph they would not have
shown np so well for his side of the ques
tion; as "any one knows that you can
take parts of any man's writings and
reading them separate can make it look
as though the writer was condemning a
thing, whereas if you should read bis
entiro writing on the subject it will look
in a very different light altogether.
Then he got off on the bicycle racket
with Japan, stating that they made bicy
cles and brought them over here and
sold them (or $12,50. Then bought sil
ver bullion and took it back with them
sold it in Japan for one dollar and twen-
nine cents per ounco, when it only
costs 5G cents here ; thereby more than
doubling their money on tho bicycles.
Now, I wonder if it never occurred to
Mr. Vanderburg that that would he a
more profitable business for him to enter
.,,... in-
into that is, buying silver bullion ana
shipping it to Japan at those prices-
than trying to beat Mr. Tongue in the
congressional race, when there is no
possible show for him to win.
He also told the people of Oakland
that congress demonetized silver in 1873
and it wasn't legal tender for more than
ve dollars, but he forgot to tell tbom
that was only the minor coins and that
in 1S7S the standard silver dollar began
to be coined and has been ever since and
is legal tender for debts from one dollar
up to any amount
Now a word to some of the free silver
men who say that gold was never above
par until after 1873. Any school boy
ought lo know Letter than that. Look
in Barnes' history of the United States,
on page 2SS and see if I am right or not.
Also look on page 10S and see if it
wasn't above par for a penal ot 27 years,
My advice to the people is to read
proper authority and only take from pub
lic speakers that which corroborates said
authority, tor they all mislead to some
stent, uut tue popuusis can Deal uoiu
the old parties combined in that respect,

It is a lie out of whole cloth as O. K. knew

If the prominent republican, spoken
of by the Review, would lay aside his
senseless prejudice, and recover from his
disappointment and listen to reason he
would find that at tho primaries here
only about 10 A. P. A. votes were cast in
a ballot of So, he would recover from his
senseless charge that the A. P. A. con-
trolled the primaries here, especially if
he knew that only two A. P. A.a were
elected and that there was the same
number on the opposition, and that
the same disparity of votes was notice-
able in the county convention.

As I am tho populist nominee for

pledge myself lo practice strict economy
in every respect, as we believo that to be

Two good uatured men of the above

Tuesday on that perplexing subject, poli

of this science, more forcibly than ele
gant, aud a crowd was attracted to the
scene. After a few bouts these gentle
men came to the conclusion that each
might be mistaken iu his views and
concluded to retire from the contest till
June 1, 1800, and there settle once and
for all, this little dispute.

CAMAS VALLEY NEWS.
It has rained so much of late that even
the ducks have become ashamed of the
weather and crawled into the wood-shed.
The white mantle of purity and coolness
envelopes the lop of the Coast range on
the 17th of May.
A trio of Democratic candidates were
in the valley last week offering to ex
change ehoddy goods for free-trade.
A. M. Crawford and J. H. Shupe spoke
at Trowbridge hall last Tbursdy to a
large audience. That what they said
was appreciated was manifested by
the applause they received on several
occasions. Mr. Crawford savs it don't
take 16 ounces of silver to make a dol
lar.
The A. P. A.'a have at last struct our
valley, and war maybe expected to break
out at any moment. We hear but little
of the A. P. A.'s, but many are trying lo
expose the Eecret workings of the order,
who know as little of it as Thompson's
calf with tho three white hind legs, at
Cole's vallev.
Where is Patrick Mu.phy? Has he
got notoriety enough from the free ad-
ertising he has received, or is he load
ing up for a final effort on the eve ol
election. Touch her off aisv. Pat.
From the position the Review Itakes in
this campaign, it is difficult to deter
mine what is its politica and what ia its
religion. It started out as Protestant
and Democratic, but it found Protestant
preachers andvocating A. P. A.ism. II
it bad found Bob Ingersoll or some of
his faith, the Review could have called
them blasted infidek, and it would have
been underno obligation to defend them.
But other Protestant preachers joined
the A. P. first, and this meant insult to
the democratic voters. The choice ia
now simmered down between Protestant
ism and Catholicism and Democracy.
So the Review crowd savs. let us call
them religious fanatics. The old time
Democratic doctrine of free trade and
free paupers from Europe and more
bonds is getting old and stale, and the
people won't eat that any more. Let us
therefore settle down to Patrick Murphy,
and Democracy straight, and free whis
key at the distillery. In this latter en
terprise the Review people are uncon
sciously stealing their own water-melons,
for it is morally certain the democrats
cannot elect a single candidate without
the aid of A. P. A. votes. Nevertheless
they met at the Land Office, and after
taking a glass of ice-water they sang
thusiy:
Oh bring our psalm-book round
For Shambrook must be downed.
We'll whoop him from the ring,
Our Country, ti3 of thee,
Sweet land of B N A G,
Of thee we sing.
We'll fight the A. P. A.
And all obstructions in the way,
For we are bound to win,
And when the way is clear
And there's nothing more to fear
We'll have Ben-jam-in.
Not ax A. P. A.

FROM AN OLD REPUBLICAN.
Drain, May IS, lS'Jb".
Editou Plaindealek: Iteeemsto be
the fad for some people to get rattled
this campaign. 1 see our old reliable
friend, John Wise, has taken a tumble
and has gone with outstretched arms to
the sympathetic friend of the republican
paity, and has laid his fevered head on
Charley's cooling and sympathetic
breast, and all that is necessary is for
Charles to lay his cooling and healing
hand on Johnny's head. You know.
Johnny, faith is all that is necessary.
Where will you go in Douglas county,
or any other county in Oregon, to find
better men than the so-called A. P. A'a.
have on their ticket. I think it would
be a big improvement to the demo
cratic elate to get an A . P. A. order to
nominate a ticket that the Review could
find it in his delicate, mild, amiable and
sympathetic conscience, to spend a little
of his literary talent in showing the good
qualities of their estimable candidates.
And as for our poor little, weak-kneed
Johnny, I would rather tho A. P. A. or
any other P. would pull the wool over
my eyes than that big hypocritical, sym
pathetical bow-wow of an A. P. A. ex
terminator and great republican party
