ULtNDALR NOTES.
liLih, yet Justly, Deserving; CompIN
mant paid the Republican
Candidates.
Our republican candidates spoke to a
cro wded hon et this place yesterday
evening, and their niieeches were re
ceived with great enthttflia'm y the
audience. Telling speeches were made
by Mattoon, Msrsters, 8hue, and Ham
lin, with a few chosen words from
Shambroot and Parrott. Mr. Nichols
waa called but not being present was ex
cused. The gentlemen declared tboir
allegiance to tbe grand principles set
forth in our republican platform.
Mr. Marsters, our candidate for Plate
senator, on this second visit, has con
firmed tbe excellent impression made
upon our people at tbe lime of his first
visit. His personality is a guarantee of
of his fitness for tbe position for which
he is nominated. We see in his face tbe
attributes of benevoleice, intelligence,
honesty and digoity, that will make him
feel the great responsibility of the great
confidence our people are reposing in him
by naming him for this position. He
will be true to bis tiast.
A. K. Mattoon, the candidate for
representative, is a true hearted republi
can, well qualified for tbe place for
which our leaders have selected him, a
thorough business man, capable and
honest, a fluent talker and a man of fine
business qualifications, who having at
tended well to his own private business,
will look well to the best interests of bis
constituency, and he will be elect
ed. Shambrook and Hamlin, our boys who
wore tbe blue, tbe fact of their faithful
service to our country in tbe dark hour
of her need, and their fine qualifications
for the offices for wbich'tbov are aspiring,
ought to be a strong appeal to every
voter, lo give them this small recogni
tion of such faithful service. In their
faces we notes look of eadnesa an i of
patient endurance, and our mind reverts
to tbe swamps aud plains of tbe Philip
pines and the khaki uniform, ntnl our
bravo 2nd Oregon boys that represented
so inauy homes in our state. Ala, upon
tbnve homes and hearts reals the inigoia
of grief. As we think of there who ex-
changed that uuiforui .for releettal
cerements, and bo many of that number
who sr left to ua, are weakened and en
fbled by the intense heat of tropical
climate. Shall we forget? Ah no. On
June 4th we will give ihem another
victory.
Eugene L. Tarrott, dutiful bjp, tender
loving brother, noble friend. For the
first time Ii6 claims the suffrage of our
people for the office of sheriff. And we
will whisper confidently that we are sure
he has captured the affections of a fair,
sweet girl, who with many a sign, has
tsked us Homo dozen or so times, today,
if Mr. Parrott was single, ami so forth.
He will be our next sheriff.
Chub Nichols, son of the late I. II.
Nichols, aska tbe endowment of our vot
ers for the office of county commissioner.
He is handsome, ho ia competent, 1m is
Intelligent and honest, requisites of good
citiunahip, and excellent qualification
for the office he has filled so capably.
He will get a fine recommeodation for
South Douglas voters, and he must be
elected.
J. II. Shupe, as "coacher" for tbe can
didates, made a i excellent speech re
plete with arguments and facta and
actual statistics that our apposition finds
cannot gainsay. His remarks wero well
received by the large audience prefect,
who find him tbe same genial gentleman
be was when be was our county
clerk.
