Cleveland and Hendricks Accept.
Oh the 29 di of July the committee
appointed by the Uetnocrat'c National
Convention to notify the candidates of
t'ie;r nomination to the high office of
President and Vice President of the
United States, waited upon Governor
Cleveland at Albany and ollicially noti
fied him of his ( nomination by the
National Democracy for President.
Chairman Vilas opened the ceremonies
in a neat and interesting speech, in
which ho clearly and explicitly stated
tho object of their mission. In the
Course of his remarks he stated that the
-National Democracy seek a President
not in compliiiH'nt of what the man i?,
or in re war .1 for what he has done, but
in a just expectation of what he will
accomplish as a true servant of a fice
people lit for a lawful trust. Governor
Cleveland responded in a dignified and
impressive manner, in which he assured
-the gentlemen of the committee that
lie was tvjfoundly impressed by the
solemnity of the occasion, and by the
respi n i ility of his p sition; and
stated that he was a Democrat because
he believed that truth lies ut the found
ation of Democracy. That he had
kept the faith because he believed if
rightly an.i fanly administer d and ap-
plied, Democratic measures will innure
.to C e happiness; contentment and
prosperity of the p' ople. Tiu.t he
wji 1 1 soon, he hoped, srgnify in the
usual formal manner his ;c ojtmceof
the nomination which had been ten-
-Ueid to him.
Apart of the committee, c misting
cf Messrs?. Vilas,of Wisooimu, Hooker-,
of Mississippi, Waller, of Connecticut,
and Stockton, of New Jersey, waited
i p in Senator Hendricks, on the 20lU
of July, whom they found at the Grand
.Union Horel at Saratoga, . and two
o'clock was fixed as the time for the
ceremonies which took place in the
large parlor. .,
Before the ceremonies the parlors of
the hotel wis filled to ovei flowing with
'fiue!y-dressed ladies and gentleman.
At the time appointed Chairman Vilas
delivered along, eloquent 'address, offi
cially notifying Governor Hendricks of
Lis nomination for the Vice Presidency
by the Democratic National Co;. voli
tion; recounting the inteiesting cir
cumstances of his non.ination; and
dwelling paiticularly upon the enthu
siasm and unanimity manifested in the
1 convention hall, and clos d with the
declaration that it was the special de
sire of the Democracy to see Governor
Hendricks invested with the dinatv. I
because they knew that once he was
given the title to it by the people, and
wrongfully defrai.de 1 from its obses
sion. Governor Hendricks replied in
his usual happy and eloquent siyle and
in the course of his remarks said: "Gen
tlemen, you have referred to the fact
that I am honored ly this nomination
in a very special degree. I accept the
suggestion that in this candidacy I will
j-epiesent the lights of the people to
choose their own rulers. That right
isabovc all; that right lien beneath all,
for if the people are denied the right
, to choose their own officers, according
to tl elr own je.ngment, what shall be
' come of the rights of the people, and
what shall become of free scoverninent 1
If the people select not their officers,
Jiow shall they control the Jaws, their
" administration, and their execution?
: l-'o that in the suggestion that in th:s
: candidacy I represent the rights of the
' people as you have suggested.
Fruit and all kinds ot vegetables are
abundant this se. s n. As a conse
quence the market is dull and a great
deal will go to waste. Oregon fruits
and vegetables are superior to those
raised iu California. If our farmers
j would only manage to keep it until it
5 would get wilted and tasteless and then
send it to San Francisco and reship
back to Portland as California pro
; ducts they might find a market, and at
-the same time give the city folks a
chance to fin I fault with or.r farmers
for til is want of thrift and industry.
Lumber. I hava on hand and offer f r
sale 200,000 feet fencing lumber ami 7.",000
feet flooring and rustic of A 1 qua'ity,- Cash
purchasers will hnd it to their interest to j
get quotations before placing orders. Orders
for all kinds of lumber solicited and prompt-
, t t !
ly filled. Address 11. A. l..vmi, J
Yong dla, Oregon, j
i Douglas County.
Douglas j county is destined to out
strip all ether portions of the State, in
wealth and population. We have a
climate and soil unsurpassed by any on
the globe. I The county u I ounded on
the mith by tin Cabpxria mountains liaye been free from the deleterious ia
aud the Siuslaw river; on the e ist by ! Auence ol a whisky shop until a few
the Cascade mountains; on the scuth , days ago, wlen all at once a house was
by the Cow Creek hills, and on the
west by tho Coast Range mountains
aid the Pacific ocean. Ic has an ir
regular shaped boundary and in extent
is an average of one hundred miles
north and south by seventy-five miles
east and west, and comprises that vast
section known as the Umpqua valley.
It is drained by the Umpqua rivers and
their tribiiary,and is the best watered
and at the same time the best drained
section' of com. t"y on (he face of tie
globe both t!ie No.th and South Uiu;
qua a? well;as the main river about d
with the best natural water powers from
iinsir source to tl.eir en'.ire length, that
can be found in America. The extreme
old rarely gets below ten degrees above
zn-o or the extreme heat ninety above.
T te west section is a mean between the
W.llamette; and the Sacrame lto vallejs
wlrle the su nmers are more moist and
p'crsent than either, the l.u n'd'.ty of
the atmosphere is such fiat the pas
tures are perfectly green and still grow
ing in many places throughout the val
e at this season of the year. While
t le entire county is ore vas valle
surrounded! by high mountains, it is
composed of a series of small valleys
and high hills. The low lands being
principally those which are cuUm.tid
and are verv rich and productive. The
land is mostl? owned and held m large
tracts, and bnly a small proportion of
that which is well adapted to agri
cu t ire is cultivated. The young firs
rud jack oaks are overruning and tak
ing some of lhe besc of farm land. The
sroat drawback to n.In raisi- g lu s been
the high rate of transportation wHeh
will in a measure account for the lack
of agriculture. The prospect of a rail
road direct to deep water and cheap
transportation, will attract men and
cipital to this f ivored locality.
The county abounds with large for
ests cf the best fir, pine and cedar, a
large portion of which is unsurveyed
government lands, while a portion of
the mountain sections are known to be
underlaid with the very best of anthra
titand b!timenous coals, and gold
mines are profitably worked in different
sections of the county. "While our fa
vored climate, rich soil and ex'riordi
niry facilities for manufacturies, and
rich d ?pr s'tes of coal and lumber, it
does not require the wisdom of a pro
phet, to predict a grand future for
Douglas county.
The rescue of the remaining mem
b r ; of the Greeley Polar expedition
which was sent out of the United
States seme three years ago to clin.b
the North Pole, has been the nine days'
event for the public prints, and as a
final the great dailies, which at first ex
toled the commander for his bravery
and wisdom in conducting the exped
lion condemn both the government and
Commander Greely for a want of
k lowledge of the country he was s; n
to explore. They charge that Lleuten .
t nt Greeley was both timid and cow
ardly, and charge that he is responsible
for his own and his companions' suf
"e ing. Fully thr e-ro inhs of the
company died from exposure and
starvation. What rich discoveries they
have made have not been made public.
Whether they have found a mountain
of gold or the pathway to the moon, it
has been found at a fearful cost, and
t eir treasur j trove is perfectly si'e
from molestation by any of these brave
editors.
Demurrer Overruled.
In the U. S. District Court Monday
last, J udge Deady overruled the de
muirer in the case of Abraham,
Wheeler & Co. vs. the Western Union
Telegraph Company. The suit was
brought on account of an error in a
message sent to the firm from Glendale
to Roseburg. The message as written,
said: "Don't sell anv wheat: holel a few
days," and when received it real:
"Don't sell all wheat; hold a few days.'
In consequence of the mistake the firm
sold quite a lot of wheat and sustained
a loss of some few thoufand dollars,
which thev are now suing to recover.
" i
The grounds! of the demurrer vas that
1 - "
the complaint did not state facta suffi
cient, and that the error in the tele
cram in receiving the word "any" as
aH" did notj make any difference, as in
a'd events they had been told to hold a
few days. llis honor thought there
had been a material change and ruled
accordingly.! This decision insures a
judgment for plaintiff and seems to be
as it should. 1

Correspondence
Editor Independent : It has 1 e -n
foolishly asserted by the advocates of
free whisky that there would b3 less
drunk nnes if there was no restraint
by lawupen the wh'sly traffic We
opened and work commenced, to ar
range for a whisky shop. The boys
began to gather around the placa at late
hours, and it was observed that a few
were intoxicated and lay but all night
in a corn field. Old Johnny . looked
bald and Mat looked wild to see who
would speak first in our peaceful com
munity, and lo, and bejiold, the noble
woaian, man's helpmate, made their ap
p a -ance Sunday evening and demand
ed to know the cause of this new ex
citement among the chilJren, and old
Johnny began to look wild, and ordered
the ladies to vacate his premises, but
they cried the more to know of the
enemy that had sowed the seed of dis
cord in our midst. Mat declared that
hi hid nothing in his premises that
would intoxicate. But no, this answer
was not believed. Finally old Johnny
broke for his house, and Mat declared
if there war anything in his house that
would into te it should be removed
within five days, after which a good old
s ng of triumph was sung Jy the be
siegers, they returned to their homes
with glad hearts. What is it that the
whirky king won't do in order-to carry

Music-
We have received from Richard A
SaalSeld, 12 Bible House, N. Y., the
following pieces of music :
"Blaine's Grand March," by Wagner,
which is a very effective piece, written
in marked time, well adapted to Torch
light processions and serenades, and ar
ranged for piano or cabinet- organ. I
lustrated, with a really fine portrait of
the Republicar candidate.
' "Our Plumed Knight Leads the
Way," campaign song by Harrison
Millard. A stirring Republican song.
The best of its kind we have seen.
Written by tho famous song-writer
Harrison Millard, author of "Flag of
the Free," "Waiting," "When , the
Tide Comes in," etc.
"Leaning o'er the Gate," by Danks,
author of "Silver Threads Among the
Gold," and over one hundred other
well-known and popular song". A
really good melody, adapted to pretty
words. Sure to sing itself into the
hearts ot thousands.
"Why Did They Dig Ma's Grave so
Deep 1" by Skelly. A s ing which has
had an immer.se sale. The melody is
sweet and the words taking. One of
these fongs, which once heard, are sure
to strike the "hidden chord." Simple
enough to be sung by a child at a schoo'
exhibition, and yet taking enough to
be hummed by "grown ups."
Eich of the above pieces retail for
40 cents at muric stores, but the pub
lishers will send the four, postpaid for
60 cents, in order to compile a statist'
cal list of such parties owi pianos or
organs and use sheet musie.
The Republican papers are condoling
themselves with the pleasing thought
that Blaine and Logan are going to get
the Irish vote. They ought to recollect
that this vote is cast by the same Irish
men that these same journals only a
few years called all kinds of bad names,
and said they were too ignorant to vote;
and contended that the natura.ization
laws should be amended so as to require
foreigners to remain in this country
twenty -one years before exercising the
privileges of cit-zenship.

Notice '.to- -Farmers. We caution
the public against, purchasing trees from
parties pretending to represent Oakland
Nurseries. We are credibly informed
that one. R, L. Freeman, from San
Jose, Cal., has iu several cases, to
parties whom we sold last year, pre
tended 10 represent Oakland Niuseries
which he i not authorized to do. We
hava only two agents in Southern Ore

signed by us and acknowledged before
a notary public. We guarantee all our
trees free from insects and that most
