Thejr 8 . limplj telecUd to reptesent
the reice of the people as te who shall

men for these exalted positions we
have no doubt that Hons. Mr. Ison,
Fenton and Jones will well and nobly
present their claims and that of the
platform te the people ef Oregon. We
are much gratified with their selection.
Hon. John Myers is the rifijht man in
the right place, and let it not be for
gotten that such is the case. He is an
old piotieer and the- older he grows the
better he is liked the better he ia

ty far important oflices, frem sheriff to
State senater, and is amply able to do
so next J una. He is a successful bus
iness man and comprehends fully every
material business interest of our State.
Democrats, you can elect such a man
and therefore fail not to do your duty
from new on until the polls close.
Governor Thayer for supreme judge
ia aa admirable choice. He really de
serves the direct thanks of both parties
for consenting to surrender a lucrative
practice for a position of high trust,
onerous labor, and limited salary. The
spirit is in the highest degree commend
able and worthy admiration. The of
fice is not a partisan one and no per
son who desires a pare and able judi
ciary should regard it in a political
light. Gov. Thayer is not distinguished
as a gifted orator, but as a prudent,
careful, discriminating, plain, candid
judge of law he is the peer of any law
yer in Oregon, and so will every sensi
ble lawyer say. In view of the fact
that he is well and favorably known to
tlm large bar of Portland, we confi
dently predict that he will carry Mult
nomah county, and he is equally well
known and liked by attorneys through
out other portions of the State. Iu ad
vance we commiserate the gentleman
who may le nominated against hira
and sugjjfst, to save all trouble, that
Gov, Thayer's nomination be ratified
by the Republicans.
The nomination of Hon. J. W. Ham
ilton for prosecuting attorney of this
district, m"et8 with the utmost satis
faction. It is in every respect a pepu.
Ur and wise selection. Mi. Hamilton
was once our prosecuting attorney and
proved himself an' honorable and eSi-
ciont officer. Although a dashing
young gentleman, Mr. Hamilton' as a
lawyer takes high rank auior." the eld
est. This oliice is also non-political and
we can aafely count upon haudreds of
Republican votes for our candidate and
nobody will regret, his election.
Popular Sentiment
The Portland Standard becomes daily
more and more joyful over our ticlfet,
platform and prospect.
The Oregouian speaks in the very
highest terms of John Myers and Gov.
Thayer, and thus it refers to our tariff
plank:
"The tariff resolution adopted by the
Democratic convention is a good one
or Oregon. But it will not be accept
ed, even by the Democratic party, in
the manufacturing States. And
though Oregon and other non-manufac
turing States were plundered by the
protection which the east exacts, re
monstrance on our part is almost use
less against the overwhelming political
weight of those States which insists on
a policy that keeps out foreign goods in
order that their own profits may be en
hanced at our expense."
The Sunday Welcome truthfully
says: "The man who would refuse to
support the platform adopted by the
Democratic State convention at The
Dalles womld refuse to support his own
family. The planks referring to the
forfeitare of unearned railroad lands; a
more effective mechanics' lien law; the
abolition of the prison contract 8f stem
and a law to bring about uniform as
sessment and taxation are especially
strong and tisaely, and will meet with
mueh favor among the people through
out the State."
Every fair-minded Republican paper
in the State mention a good word for
the work done at The Dalles. .Occa
sionally there is an exception, notaVly
the Eugene Journal, which thinks Mr.
Myers is not qualified to represent Or
egon in congress. J. he mental caliber
ef that journal warranted us in ex
claiming: "Bully; success is now cer
taia." All the Democratic papers are
enthusiastic over an unexceptionally
good ticket and an incomparably wise
pronounciation cf true principles. : '

We are sorry for Will Parrott j He
is a splendid boy. He will net be
elected and should he be he would be
compelled to neglect a good business,
to his material injury. Of the minor
candidates wo will make no mention at
this time. Upon proper occasion we
propose to give them all the attention
they may desire. As we have stated
above, the major of the ticket is a real
gem of a curiosity. The Republicans
can worship it without' violating the
commandment; for tlere is nothing
like it upon earth, or in the waters be
neath, or in the heavens above, but
very well; the people will defeat it all
the same.
At the conclusion ef the nomination of the
State delegates a resolution was unanimously
adopted instructing the delegates to use
their influence to secure the nomination ef
Hen. Bingsr Hermann as a candidate for
congress.
The following resolution was then intro
duced and raad by E. Ote:
Whereas, The burden imposed upon our
agricultural population by the railroad cor
poration, in the matter of high freights and
fares, is grievous to be borne and the only
avenue of redress is through our local legis
lature, therefore be it
Kesalved, By the convention assembled,

structed to use all heaorable mean's to aid in
passing such laws as will remedy the evil
and such as are just to the corporation; and
satisfactory to the producing class.
As soon a-the. reading was concluded a
motion was made and seconded to lay the
resolution on the table. It- was taWetl by a
standing vote of two to one of the delegates
voting to lay the resolution on the table.

case is one of almost hopeless insanity.
The unfortunate man will now be taken
to Rosebiug before the county judge,
for examination, and no doubt from
there to the insane asylum.
Miss Mary Dodge received a very
severe injury last Sunday by being pre
cipitate 1 to the ground with violence
and velocity from an overturning car
riage. No bones were broken but the
spine sustained a severe blow, which
resulted in concussion, with paralysis
of the lower extremities. Dr. Sham-
brook was called to attend the wounded
lady and at this wiiting we are inform
ed that the indications are all favora
ble to her speedy recovery.
The slight of hand show performed
here Saturday night to a small hquse.
Like all other shows of its class, it was
a failure, but it seems strange that a
number of our people will never learn
enough to keep from being bilked by
similar institutions. The company dis'

Eldorado- '. ' .-
: Gaily bedight, a gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow, .
Had journeyed long, singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
But he grew old, this knight so bold,
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found no spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado..
And as his strength failod him at length
He met a pilgrim shadow.
"Sk-vdow," said he, "where can it ber
This spring of Eldorado?'
Quoth the shadow: "For the benefit of"
suffering humanity I will state tht the El
dorado spring is situated three miles west
from RoBegurg, and a supply of the water is
kept constantly on hand and for sale by Dr,
S. Hamilton, agent, Roseburg, Oregon."
Ms. Geo. W. Joints. Dear Sir: I have bran
troubled with neuralgic pains in my head and cheek
bones, for several yeara, and had give up all hopes ot
ever getting cured. I went to your medical springe
with my son James and got some of the water, and
drank it freely and found that it was a mild physic.
I used it three times a day for a little more than two
months, and the pains - leit me and I have not felt
them siuje, and that has been 17 months ar.

Geo. W. Jones. lfear Sir: I would here state to
you that a year ago 1 suffered untold agonies on ac
count of files (blind) and went to Portland to get re
lief from doctors there. J met Mr. Apple of Kose
burg, who advised me before seeing the doctors to
try your Eldorado Mineral Water. I did so and had
one dozen bottlia sent to me by A. . E. Champagne.
I used one-half dozen bottles, taking right before ev
ery meal, one small glass full. I not only was re
lieved, but 1 am certainly cured by what I used, and
thankful for it, because I suffeted more tban'i can
express. I would advise any one suffering from this
disease to try your Mineral Water. ,-Should you
have any occasion to use this statement do so. You
are at liberty on my account. I think this Is the
least I can do for you, as I was en red by it. Re
spectfully yours, JULIAN JOSEPH.

GEO. Vf. JONES: Dear Sir. From sheer curiosity
I was induced to try Eldorado Water and was not on
ly surprised but highly gratiflej with the result. I
have for many years been a sufferer from dyspepsia
and have tried every kind of tepsin known to
pharmacy and without result- -The contrary was my
experience from the use of your mineral water. Ta
ken according to directions it produced immediate
rehef and iu a short time, if ontinued, would secure
permanent cure. To any who will avoid irritating
stimulants, I am satisfied it will iove of valuable
comfort and benefit. As a general rejjulator I found
it most excellent. L. F. LANE.
