FOR DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE CONGRESS. TO The many democratic friends of 0. P. Coshow are urging him to allow them to announce that he is a candi date for Congressman from this dis trict. The Plaindealer saw Mr. Coshow and asked him the point blank ques tion if he would be a candidate for the democratic nomination? but failed to receive a positive answer in the af firmative to the question for the gen- tlpmnn ewmMi t.r ho rlOAhncr m ovn. sion and equivocation, telling that the nominee would only be a sacrifice upon the altar ol democracy and so forth. Well, if the democrats have to oiler up a sacrifice they have not a better subject nor a worthier man in their ranks than 0. P. Coshow and the rLAiNDEALER cannot imagine a cleaner man nor a cleaner record nor a democrat more entrenched in the affections of the better element of de mocracy than he is. As a man and a citizen he is all right but as a demo crat he is all wrong because his poli- .tical training, education and princi pies are a mixture of the political doctrines of Grover Cleveland and Billy Bryan. Mr. Coshow has made a hodge podge mess of the hides those gladiators and seasoned of I the concoction with the ghost of Jeffer- sonianism. Our democratic brother is the ruling elder and a bright and Bhining light in the Baptist church of Bosebun?, Past Master of the Mason- ic lodge and now Hip Priest U. D. of . the UhaDter and. well we will do the utmost we can to defeat him if he is the nominee for we don't want such a model of good citizenship dragged in the mud of political per- fidy, for no maif can be elected on the democratic ticket who doe3 not stand in with the saloons, gambling halls and? their ilk. There would be no af- finity betweenO. P. Coshow and the thirsty brotherhood and without that vote he could not be elected, because - - - a large percentage of the democratic voters are built that way. THE DRAKE MYSTERY. Since ogr last issue our has been called to the fact attention that the it.:. I ..-m. VTTT ... ... prases neignoor was not tne man who killed the deer. Thfi man vchn was supposed to have killed the deer ana nung it on the tree was a, South- era Pacific trantwalkfir and Tin f in. tereeted with the man who looks af- ter or owns the goats. It was the trackwalker who told Mr. Drake and At . l t i ii me neignoor xnac ne naa Killed a deer and hung it up on a tree and the irst-aaa to get to the deer the next mora coBld have it. Drake started for tfe deer the next morning and that was he last ever seen of him, Then follows the story as told by the Plaindealer in the last issue with this amplification. When the neigh bors met io search for Drake the man who had a grievance against Drake because of the taking up and fencing the claim, urged the neigh bors notto go in a certain direction to hunt for Drake, and told them that he had searched that part, of the woods. After the neighbors had gone in a different direction he started out with his friend the track- walker jn the goat business and took J?u .

The Plaindealer learns that a father in Roseburg who has a son fifteen years old, has decided as a last resort p have the boy commit ted to the reform school. The boy is, it seems, thoroughly tough. He recently secured a revolver and not only threatened to kill other boys and went to one of their homes, it is said, with that intention, but he threatened to murder his own mother with the revolver and waited at her door to do so, and that the father saw the boy and disarmed him. The boy was supposed to have been in school today, but he was in an old cabin near the railroad track, with other bqalso supposed to be in school. They smoke cigarettes and read yellow backed novels and are preparing to be cut-throats or some thing equally as bad. If the whole lot of these boys could be caught and stripped and have a willow rod well laid on in an artistic manner, from the napes of tbeir necks to the soles of their feet, it would beat the re form school instruction, to make them good for they would be good after the first effective dose, NOT DODGING THE QUESTION. We have read Republican's screed in the Review and in answer the Plaindealer states: The man who would buy or sell his proxy in a Re- publican convention is a fit subject for the pen, but he is a gentleman beside the man who signs himself "Republican'' and seeks to disrupt tha republican party by advocating his personal claims for office in a I democratic sheet The men who Ii i i i I oongnt or soia proxies were open in the transaction if it was a fact, while " Republican" in theReviewisacring- mg coward afraid to let his name be known, and as we have said before, he is a character assassin who stabs hi3 victim in the dark and in the back. From all the light before us furnished by "Republican" himself, e are fully convinced that the man is a candidate for a state office to succeed the man he is attacking but T 1 If 1 033 not tne moral courage to an-1 nounce his candidacy.

What reason can be given for the call for the Congressional convention being sent to papers supposedly in favor of Harris while papers supposed to favor Hermann were omitted?
