Central Coaaauttee Meeting.
A meeting of the Democratic county
central committee is hereby ca.led to
meet at Rosebttrg, on Tuesday, th !
2")th day of Mfci'cb, 188-1, nt 10 o'clock
a. m. J. W. Hamilton,
Chairman of Committee.
Attention, Democrats!
The chairman of the Democratic cen
tral committee for DougTas county, has
onlled a meeting of the same for the
'5tb of this month. Eaf-h precinct is
entitled (o a representative and it is
must desirable that proxies should be
the exception and not the rule. Let
every product have pride enough to
Bee this t the uulegato is here. There is
much to consider and much to do and
the importance of the situation justifies
prudent attention. Douglas county ia
not positively one way or the other, but
on the contrary there is a large indi
vidualized rote th-t thinks for itself
and doea as it pleases. To that element
the Democracy should make prope r and
wise overtures. There is no uscy nor is
there sense in trying to character!"? our
local p-iTuirs with national politics
Fact is Douglas 'county neither divided
nor united the Union, and has quite
enough to do to mind its own busiuess.
" It wants good, efficient officers to guide
mid control its concerns. If the nom
inating convention acts wisely and dis
creetly the Democracy may not only
hope for but will realize ic.try. Se
lect only good and true men. Let the
test of every candidate be, honesty, pu
rity and patriotism. Democrats, at
'l'jiition! - Garfield's Assassination-
In"a private con versacion with Con
gressman Springer, ex-Postmastfrf Gen
eral James said he had noloubt but
what Garfield would have been alive
to-day if it had not been far the star
route prosacutipns, and that he believed
that there was a general plot, not only
to kill the President, but also' the . at.
turney general and the postmaster gen
oral. William A. Cook being asked
what he had to say regarding the state
ment mad by James before Springer's
committee relative to his prediction of
Garfield's afisawsintttion, replied, "The
statement is fullof inaccuracies, but in
the course of an interview with Gar
field I did take occasion toward the
close of the talk to give him a" general
warning. From the general talk at the
time, from the comments of the news
papers and from threats repotted in the
primary channels of gossip, notwd that
there was a bitter feeling behind work
J up against the President. I called
his attention te these general facts.
Also that there was a number of des
peradoes in the regular employ f the
star route contractors, and that consid.
ering the high state of political excite
ment growing out of the struggle be
tween .the stalwarts and half breeds,
some weak mind might be influenced
to deadly harm.. I said to the Presi.
dent: 'If I were in your place I would
10 very careful of my public move
ments.' Gen. Garfield turned toward
me and said: 'Oh, I dont think there
is any danger,' and this ended the con
versation." Mr. Cook was asked: ''Do
you think, then, that Guiteau may have
had accomplices?" He replied, "I am
not (,repared to say that he had or that
l.e had not There is certainly a mys
t ei y connected with the asasrination.
It is a significant fact that no attempt
has been made to solve it. I submit
ted a proposition in writing to the at
torney general to serve without fse, in
the prosecution of Guiteau. My prop
osition was not accepted. Guiteau was
the most fitting tool for an assassina
tion conspiracy.' It' 'would --have been
the easiest tiling in the world for an
evil-intentioned person to hare directed
the warped mind of Guiteau toward
the removal of the President without
himself appearing in the matter. It
would Jjave been very important to
have brought oivt who were Qui teau's
associates during th six Weeks which
proceeded the assassination and the
itimes of all those who had any kind of
conversation with him."
Governor Stoneman of California,
Ias called an extra session of the legis
Jatuif1, to consiilcr the railroad 'tax and
other important questions. The Cen
tral Pacific and Southern Pacific rail
roa&.y with the arrogance for which
those corporations are noted, hare as
sumed to pay such, an amount of taxes
3 suits them best, and Judge Sawyer.
tn cf "their officials, has "decided that
th?v can do so. The Democratic exec
utive of the State is determined to
block this game, however. .
A report is iu circulation from tho
- uppfir country that Charley Pond, tba
well known railroad and stage man, is
Hibiiti, and it is feaiod that he has
l3rL!ioJ in the Cofnir D'Alone mount
ains. Searching parties have gone
but in different directions.
, It is the j province and duty of -tins
paper as also of every othr just jour
nal, to. apprise its leader of breakers
and approaching danger. AVe hare

ers tQ the fact that for twenty months
in tv-q years; the Gregonian is substan-
tially ii Rarnocratic paper. Wc regard
Rarvsy Scott a man of fair intelligence
and therefore in the secret recesses? of
his heart, on the autonomy and polity
of government, is necessarily a Demo
crat. However, just before election,
and mors especially a nutional one, lie
become ill at ease and goes cast for
his health or what not. At all events
the piper about faces and renders itself
a subtle instrument to accomplish an
evil result. To observe but erst awhile
it was virtually a fre trade advocate
and now it is antagonistic. But a
short while ago it was rcbrobating the
bloody shirt, business and now it flaunts
the gory garment to the gaze of public
view. Good people, beware, trust not
that bloody; Greek, even when bearing
presents. I "
John Shermax'3 outrage committee
has found a' very talented liar in the
person of Violet Keeling, but sbe is
hardly a match for the late lamented
Eliza. Piukston after all. There is
ither a falling oft in capacity among
the outrage witnesses or else thoir train
ers are losing something of their cun
ning. In the meantime thfre would
seem to be j some wort on hand for
John and his bloody shirt hunters in
his own State. A negro family was
murdered in the very suburbs of Cin
cinnati a few days since, and their bod
ies sold to j the medical college in that
city. John's committee should be im
partial and j not refuse' to work up a
bjood-curdler uet because it happened
on this sido: of the Ohio. Especially if
there should happen to bo any Demo
crats in thel faculty of ihe college which
received the victhas, would it furnish
a choice spscimeu of outrage. We
don't charge John anything for this
"tip."
In the language of the resolutions
passed by f the Louisiana Republican
State Convention, members "regard
..'-.'I'-.. '
with earnest sohcitud the aproaching
Presidential election." Considering the
fact that all the delegtes are Pu pablican
office holders, and chosen in defiance
of the civil iservice enactment, and that
their grip on the public crib depends,
the "earnest solicitude" is apposite lan
guage.
Inferring to hoodlumism in Walla
Walia the jStatesman says; There is a
gang of young boys in this. city, vary
ing between the ages of 12 and 18, who
delight inj any species of deviltry.
They will stone .' inoffensive Chinamen,
place ropea-across sidewalks, ring door
bells and then run away, and any other
mischief which comes into their head.'
Last night they made a pilgrimage
around the city removing, gates from
their fastenings a.id carrvinjj them
away. We suggest that the police look
after this gang,' and if caught in their
deviltry diet them on bread and water
a while as a remedy.
