Ful lerton lor presidential elector at tbe re publican state convention, substantial recognition was given an able, tried and true Douelas county representative of the grand old party. Politics is the all absorbing topic at tb'n time as alt parties have put forth thtir county ticket and the , staH tickets are known. The Republican party bs a find principle, steely and never swerving, quite in contrast to that of tbe other pariies (bat have no abiding principle except a d-firin for otlice. Republicans generally, in this .lit trict, rejoice iu tbe renomioaUon of Huu, Geo. M. Brown, for prosecuting attorn ey. Air. Brown is an attorney learned and eloquent in bis profe.-jioa and during his incumbency baa made a reputation and record that will bear tbe closest ia epection. He stands tbe acknowledged peer of any candidate for (bis important office, and bis re-election is 'generally conceded. The so-called anion, or fusion, con ventions be!d throughout tbe different counties of tbe state, would be better called "absorption" conventions, as in . moat instances tbe democrats have at tempted, and witb same degree of sue cess, to absorb the populist. Tbe pop. aiists C4b't titand a democrat any better thanttbey can a republican, hence they cannot enthuse the democaiie ticket, that have been placed ia (be field, and which are now pleading for their sup port.

SonE 50L1O FACTS Tersely Expressed by Commissioner Thompson -Fisher a Reformer for Revenue Only. Ediimk I'tAiNDK.M.Kit: 1 fee in t'ie r eue of Apt it l) h id ihe "great and only,' the Roseburg Revi-w, that, Charles has devoted nearly a column to what I ri.l, and ditl not s.ty before the. republican cjii vmioK. Now, Charles hai garbled my words worse thaa he did the repub lican platform. Ms (Cnas.) has hern claimiug that tho reduction of the coun ty ctebi was wholly due to the hii-ion oilioer, and hWo the appreciation of county warrants to t tie same cause. Now, what I did cay upon that occas ion, was", that i ti republican party should have home credit, lor ihe (eduction of the debt, It h.i been steadily reduced for the I..' four years under a 23-ltd! I levy in mid 'i'7 siniinet a i.-niill levy in !Sand 'W under "relorm" aduiitiistra- tion. I did not attack any officer and Fisher knows it very well. I did say Jn.ii- Lvoiih was lioiii'kt iu trying to gt tour county out of debt, iri I I also coinnn-ndecl K. L. Stephens as uu ollicer th.it j rcoujjiicil, and stated that was the reason ttiat he was turned down, be caUHi- tie woulJ tut fill hie otlice with deputies at the expense of the taxpayers. In lS'JS Mr. Britt made the assessment, which waa something over ?00!),ldj more than ihe asrenainent of 1SJJ. Upon that assessment a levy of 22 mills was made 2 mills more than was made for the two previous years, which resulted in raising enough money bo that we could pay off considerable of our debt. Fisher says that I lamer, t the fact that the lax payers will i called upon to pjy f20.0i!i) le?s taxes this rear. I called at tention to that f tc: to show the people that it will be impossible to pay off any of our debt thisear, and that Charles was usiug republican powder to shoot hisN fusion cannon. Mr. Fisher stales th .1 I am imbued witb the idea of hih toxe. Does Mr. Fisher know that I stood be tween tbe taxpayers and a levy of 45 or 50 mills advocated by members of his party for the porpoee of paying tLe county tleot in one year. I cau bnrij proof that I have always favored the Inv ent possible levy. He tpc.iUs of Mr. .Stf rliug as "poor old Jimmy," and 6ivb that the railroad paid less than one-third taxes undr his us-setuent than they do U'jw. per mile is le . than one- tturo of $1000 per n.ile? Otr what a ' inatbeiiiaticiau .' Rut he can not be blamed, the cares of bostiu lore ccouven tious in une day id enough o rattle the brain of a man of his calibre. Of course, Chas. will try to hoodwink the people cf Douglas county and try to preach re form, but if they will read over the lisi of claims allowed by tb county court they will see that be is a refiriuer for revenue only. By the way, Mr. Editor, what has be. ccimeoflhe person who was cliirioring for an asaesKtuent of if 10,000 per rnile Oo the railroad bed when we had a republi can osseicor? It be too busy riding on a pass? Now in conclusion .Mr. Editor I am willing to put my record for fairnetis and economy ugairiet any county official that Mr. Fisher may select. M. D. Thompson, iScoiiKhurg, Dr. More Converts. Engineer D. McCarthy, who has for years been such sn nntl-repubbcan that his friend good nature lly dubbed him "the anarchist" seems ti have recently fallen by ihe wayside.

Fortunately tho majority of us live and die without our malady coming to perfection. And the funny part of it is, Bro.
