Yon will miss a lot of ioteresticg things unless you g' back and read the advpr Jnetnents in this paper. Hark, from the tomb a doleful sound, A'x Lincoln dotli mourn and turn round. Why dotli he moan and seem i: pain? Because of the fool party that now bears hid Dame. It ia an old aud true adage tbut "the truth harts" and that the "hit canine la the one that howls everj rlme, ' hence, when a broadside ot truths was burled into the fusion camp by tho Plain dealer last week, the buss himself seems to have been the unlucky dm judging from the great howl set ttp In Thursday's R view We have been quietly watching with much interest, the tactics of this unscrupulous political nionteback, Chas II. Fisher, during the past year, and naturally enough an exposure of bis tie farioua schemes ar,d corrupt methods has put him in very bad hunor, and being unable to supply a plausible atgu inent to refute our statements be baa re sorted to tho application ol such choice English us a "rauk Plaindkai lk lie," " falsifier, malicious and unconscionable," etc., about as much however, as could be expected from ueh a source. During the past two yera in his uiad effort to ho!u together iha fast disintcgr ting union forces and gaiu undisputed control of the whole situation and thus reeolvA li-n,df into the absolute boss and dictator of the miscalled "reform" partt , Mr. Fisher to disguise.his own po litic) amltiiion and acts has been tire less in his efforts to create factional strife in the opposing party, against which be would embitter his followers and carry out his aims by setting up a fictitious boss, whom he continually por trayed as a great political tyrant, bent on the wreck and ruin of the city and conn ty, this gentleman to whom be referred in such libelous terms, at the Batue time holding for a second term, the reepou Bible ollice of mayor of the city of Rose burg, and who was generally conceded to be the most watchful, careful and wise conservator of our muuicipal interests of any roau w ho had ever before filled this respojsible position, and who, during hia encumbsncy saved the city many thousands of dollars through his econom leal business like methods, and also greatly decreased thsci'y'e indebtedness, a fact the Review cannot deny. Of coarsa no one, except possibly a fear on wary readers ot that irresponsible sheet ever believed one word of tli9 charire of boss and dictator preferred against Mr Mareters, however, a great many were at a lose to understand Fisher's object in so persisteutly laboring along this lin litild Jbioking that at one and the same tune tie was working diligently to place himself in just such an unenviable nsi lion in the fusion party as he was wont to assert Mr. Marsters occupied in the op position party, aud that lit suoj'.'eded in this one ambition we (have only to even attend as a visitor, thus tirovlna hia willingoesa to abldn wholly by the free and anlnatructed delegation of rep resentatlve republicans of the county And it will be remembered that when Mr. Marsters was uoclnred the unani choice of the convention for state sens tor, It whs necessary to dispaich a dele gatioji to his place of business to thus inform him and escort nim before the convention, which be addressed in pleasing and appropriate manner (hen retired to again look after his business interest, and leave the convention fo proceed with fts work. Id view o( there facts, we thiuk a fair and unbiased public will experience no trouble in de termioing who ia cryii g "stop thief, "and who the real self-imposed boss and die tator is. REPUBLICAN LEGISLATIVE TICKET A Few Reasons Why You Should Vote This Ticket Straight. It is the height of foiiy for ti e citizens of Douglas ccunty to vote for other than the republican candidates for the legist' lature. No one doubts that Oregon will elect a legislature overwhelmingly repub licao, and suppose a few demo-pops are elected, what is to be expected from them? They will simply draw their sal ary and accomplish nothing. The re publican candidates of every county of the state are pledged to labor for strict economy in state affairs; oppose all use less commissions and labor faithfully to correct all existing abuses in the laws governing elections, assessments and taxation. That these pledges will be fully carried out we have only to point to the record of the last republican legis lature. It abolished the railroad com mission. It reduced the lanat rate of in terest to 0 per cent. It passed an uct for the submission to the people of a consti tutional amendment providing for the initiative and referendum. It enacted a registration law for the protection of the parity of tbe ballot. It reduced the sal aries of county otlicers in Douglas and otter comnties, thua making a great sav ing to the taxpayer. It made a record of which even tbe rabid fuaioniuta may well envy and feel justly prom!.

F. fiazley. or some of toeir friendf, kiudly point utU in 'he county treasurer's fcecii-.ionual state ment recently published in both the Plaixdkalsu and Rsylew, or any former "Strange isn't it, that it has taken the democratic party thirty-five years to rac- ognize tbe snperior political virtues in Abraham Lincoln." Not so strange after all. It usually takes democracy about that period of time to get anything ra tional through its bead. In about 1933 they will be "pointing with pride" to the political wisdom and virtue of Wm. Mc-Kinley. It is pretty generally conceded tbat J. L. Dewey, tbe fusion candidate for sher iff, will be the worst beaten man who ever fonpht in the political arena of Douglas county. It was nnfortuanate i r bint when he was matched against a sturdy, native sod of old Oregon and IViuglae county. A man in the prime of l:ff, possessed of remarkable business ea gcity, unblemished character, eminent ly successful in all busineis undertak ings, in fsct "'net the right man to place in charge of the responsible olfice of sher iff.
