In order to Bonienhxt justify himself for not returning one cent of his salary back lato tbe county tteasury, as he pledged himself as above to do, Mr. Uaaley now, with brszen effrontery, sets forth the claim ot bring the author and finisher of the bill passed in the legislature providing for the reduction of the salwrir of the offi cers of tbis conntv. Tho facts are tbe man, through whom Gazley claims hs urged the pasge of the bill, Representative Wilson, opposed the only measure intro duced for this object, which bill was drafted and introduced by the Douglas county republican senator, the late Hon. A. W. Heed, and it was only through the per sistent personal effort of Mr. Reed and the union representatives, Wonacott and Conn, that Mr. Gaaley's righl-lmod man was prevailed upon lo support the Reed bill, ever word of which can be proven conclusively. The Roseburg Review oven reputes tbe claims of Mr. liazley in its issue of May 3, l'HX), when it said : THE review's admission: "Senator Reed introduced a bill reducing and re-adjusting the salaries of the officials of Douglas county and in order to insure its passage the Union representatives, Wilson, Wonacott and Conn, introduced no measure, but came to the support of Mr. Reed's bill." Two years ao Tongue carried Yam hill county by a majority of 231 over Veatch, the fusion candidate of tbe dem ocrats, populists and silver republicans.

ABILITY AND INFLUENCE. The nomination of Hon. Thoa. H. Tongne is a just tribute to an able and conscientious public nervant. The pec pie of Oregon ara beginning to under stand that if tbey would be a fac'.or in congress they mut bate a man at bar Of ability and influence. They are obesrv jng the course of o'.her states and are profiting by theit experience. It has long been a noteworthy fact that a number of tbe small Eastern states have for many years had an overshadowing influence at the seat of government, and simply beeaoao tbey selected men of ability aud kept tliBtn there. It takes a number of years of active life in a fixed and prominent position for a man to ac quire national notorioty and influence. Oregon is young, its destiny i jJ9t shap ing, and it needs the best talent and in fluence it can command to stand in tbe breach and plead its demand.

As the reports come in from various parts of the connty regarding the can yass, being made by tbe republicans, the fact presents itself that ons of tbe mott popular candidates on the ticket is Capt. F. B. Hamlin, nominee Jor counly school superintendent. Tbe captain is a gentle man without a single olemiah of charact er, a true patriotic American citizen, and man eminently well qualified . and equipped for tbe office to which he aspires. The manner in which he wis deprived of the office alter being elected by a large maj ui'.y at the last election, j intly entitles him to tbe suffrages of the people generally at tbis lime.

CAMPAIGN LIE NAILED. Willis vs. Crawford. I notice that tbe Review claims to have been informed in eomn mysterious manner, that I have signed or made an anti-Hermann pledge, in case of my electlou as representative of this county. This coming from tbe Review, I bardly thought it worth a denial, bat as some people not informed as to tbe Review's reliability might believe it, I denounce it as absolutely false. A. R. Mattoox. SOnETHING DEMOCRATS FORGET Some democrats seem to have forgot ten that in tbe two democratic platforms made at Charleston and Baltimore in i860 was this plank: "Resolved, that the rieruocratio party is In favor of tbe acquisition of the Island of Cuba, on such terms as will be honorable to our selves and just to Spain at tbe earliest practicable moment."

They declare that fusion with the democrats will ntfv er occur again in that state. The arrest of Hon. A. M. Crawford on list Saturday At tbe instigation of Wm. R.Willis, wH'i as follows: In January, 18'JO, testimonv was taken in a civil act ion between Wra. R. Willis and A. M. Crawford and the case is now pending in tbe supreme court. It is alleged that Mr. Willis recently demanded some kind of a fettlement with Mr. Crawford in tbis long pending case and upon the lat ter's refusal Mr. Willis swore out a war rant for the arrest of Crawlord upon the charge ol perjury. The district attorney, Hod. Geo. M. Brown, being in attendance at circuit court in Ccoa county, bis deputy, Attorney J. E. Saw yers, examined all the testimony in tbe case, and declared there was no grounds for tbe charge preferred by Mr. Willis, end moved to dismiss the case. The preliminary hearing occurred before city recorder, D. f. West, who over ruled tbe motion. Deputy Dis trict Attorney Sawyers declared in open court and in his motion tlat he was well satisfied that the prosecution was solely without cause and from malicious mo tives, however, Recorder Weit held the defendant to appear before the circuit court. From tbe fact that both parties stand high in social, legal and political circles in tbis city this case has created considerable interest and it is freely charged on the streets that political de signs, or motives to influences tbe higher court is behind the whole affair, but as far as the Plaisids i.tn Is concerned, it is in no position to maka any definite charges lo this direction. furniture, furniture, furniture.
