The;e is not democratio state tbat does not charter trusts. Tbe party is gret to war and complain, but iuflnitiral in practice. It yon read it in tbe fusion aheet Uday it la invariably tbe case tbat you will read an apolo- for the same in tbe next issue. 1 Eugene Guard and Roseburg Revi -- bear the unenviable reputation of I 4 two of the most ir responsible ihw in tbe state. Ttiey are kept busy correcting false statements. It has been conceded by men in both parties that Geo. W. Diinmick is entitled to and will te re-elected treasurer of Douglas county. He Las faithfully per formed all tbe duties devolved upon him ; he lias rendered a faithful account of ms stewardships and tbe people generally recognize in him honeety and integrity consequently wi 1 retain him in his pretent position for another term. In order to some hit justify bitmelf 'or not returning one cent of his salary back into the county tieafory, a he pledged himself as aboye to do, Mr. Uaxley now, with brazen effroutf ry, sets f jrth lhe claim ot bting the author and finisher of the bill passed in tbe legislature providing for the reduction of lbs salaries of tbe offl cere of this county. The facts are the man, through whom tiasley claims be urged tbe passage of the bill, Representative Wilaoo, opposed the only measure intro duced for this object, which bill wa drafted and introduced by the Douglas county republic n senator, the late Hon. A. W, Reed, aud it was only through ILs per sistent persoual efforts of Mr. Reed and the union representatives, Wonacott and Conn, that Mr. Galley's right-hai d roan was prevailed upon to support tbe Reed bill, ever word of which can b proven conclusively. Tho Itoseburg Review even reputes tbe claims of Mr. Gazley in its issue of May 8, l'JOO, wben it said : THE review's admission: "Senator Reed introduced a bill reducing and rc-ad justing the salaries of the officials of Douglas county and in order to insure its passage the Union representatives, Wilson, Wonacott and Conn, introduced xonicasure. but came to the support of Mr. Reed's bill." THAT HOBO LETTER AGAIN. The fact tbat Hon. Tha. H. Tongue baa served two terms as congressman from tbe first district and is a poor man is evidence sufficient that he is an honest man. Some men become rich in con press at a salary of $5000. We have known tbem to become rich in ooe term they go there to make money and then retire that is their constituentr retire them. Mr. Tongue does not beloog to this claa and tbe people of the first district Instead of retiring him are going to return him for his faithfulness. Lake "View Examiner. - It is rumored that a number nf miners at the Gold Bug mine in the northern lar of Josephine county, have reins ured to vote in Glendale precinct in this county, and, if their votes -should be challenged that tbey intend to create eerioos trouble. It is certaioly not very consistent for tbe fusion party which poses as a reform party, to advise its alherents to vote illegally and it their votes are challenged to create a riot or Bfcriout disturbance. Tbe law should be enforced to prevent illegal voting and lhe fusion party should aid in its enforce ment!. ' Again the fiuion orgn over tbe way b& ing unable to offer any argument to refute our btatouient regarding tbat hobo letter epiaode.wtth the low instinct of thu puny cur, wuo guides ita deft nies blurts on something about tbe editor of ibis paver beiug a liar, and that such a communi cation had never been presented to this paper. In proof of our a'.lf-gationa we bej to refer the Review aud our i eiders to the union candidate for coot-tattle, Sam Tool e y, who knows a great deal more about this letter than he prob ably cares to tell. Sheriff R. L. Stephens is also fully aware ol the existence of this libelous letter and the traitorous and treacherous motives prompting its origin and presentation to the Plain dealer. Fisher will now pruti :o ef ficient evidence to refnte this statement or we will b) undr tbe painful necessity of branding him a liar and provit g htm as such, and Ihui add another Uurel to his growing reputation for unreliability. A FUSION LIE. It is reported that the Dootb-Kelly Lumber company lias employed l.'U J tip anese coolies to work at their p:snt at Wendling. Mr. Hooth is the roan who is running for joint senator on the Re publicau ticket. Junction City Itulletiu. Here is a lie made out of whole cloth. There Is not a Jap nor a Chinaman em ployed in any department of work hy the Boo b-Kelly Co, at Wendling. This is on a par with the campaign method employed by other fusion sheet in the county and ii a boomerang against the party of fusion that reins without an isue and legitimate argumr-rit daily parades the weakness of it canto hy un furling falsehood and mi"reprc!trtu ti m to the breeze Kogene RenMit-r.

The spectacle of a full fledged license J brokerage business being conducted in .connection with a "reform" county clerk's office, is enough to paralyze a marble statue. There are a grat many tax-paying voters who think they are jastasmucb entitled to an occasional f nvestmeut in county warrants as is this licensed county clerk broker. However aa long as tbore is a two per cent com mission in sight, the warrants are going to be all gobbled up in tbe clerk's office for the bank. Anyone doubting tbat tbe clerk's office is in tbe hands of money changers have only to investigate. Are the voters of this county coin,; to perpet uate and encourage this kind of thing? We think not. Tbe republicans made a ie choice when they nominated A. R. Mattoon, as a candidate for the legislature. Mr. Mattoon, our farmer candidate, in a gen tleman of exceptional ability, a ready aud convincing speaker, and is cloely identified with tbe industrial interests of the county. Mr. Mattoon is an untiring worker, belongs to no faction, a in' o' raatore experience in public matter and of whom Douglas county may eie-t much good service In the legislature. His election is one of th certainties of the Jnoa election. No lees caur be said dC. Boss King, the bright, young btni titBM men of Yoncalla and republican candidate for representative.
