THE INDEPENDENT.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 188.
Correspondence.
Mr. Ed.: A month having passed
since the nomination of Cleveland and
Hendricks, I am able to give you some
iilei how the nominations have been
received in the east and what the pros
pects 'now are.
The character of the convention at
Cliicago, was a good omen. l( not only
surpassed every previous convention in
point of numbers, but it is admitted by
bth parties that it contained more
statesmen than had ever met in a con
vontion in the United States. The
platform ad pjted is sufficient proof of
that fact.
'-AVnatter of course, those who did
not succeed in the nomination of their
favorites, and I was among them, felt
f ore at the moment, but the rapidity j
with which they have failesi into a
hearty support of the ticket is remark-:
able.- ." '
After more rfian a month, with a
good opportunity of consulting with the
Democratic leaders, I can confidently
assure you that Cleveland and Hen
dricks will be elected, and I vill gire
you the reasons upon which this opin
ion is based:
The State of New York is th piv
otal State, and it is now conceded by
the Republican that it is no longer in
doubt. The last thread upon which
the Republicans can hang a hope is Ren
Cutler' and John Kelly. Cutler's car
didacy will ntt affec. the trish vote and
will Jake more votes from the Republi
cans than the Democrats. Tammany's
course is rtill in doubt, but it is pretty
well agreed that tne club will endorse
Cleveland, while Kelly will fight him
secretly; but in view of the Independ
ent movement his action is no longer a
factor, and besides Kelly is not likely
to kick again when he found ic so diffi
cult to get back into the party. With
New York goes Connecticut and New
Jersey, only more so. Indiana is dead
sure for the Democratic ticket, so much
so that Steve Elkins, Blaine's manager,
will invest no "soap" in it. Governor
Hcadley assures me that Ohio wijl go
for Cleveland and Hendricks, but I con
fess to be a doubting Thomas. It is
J vie that lie ought to know, but the
si mtion of a Hairs in Cincinnati forbids
r to hope. The Cincinnati Enquirer,
Vrhoso propritor, John McLean, con
trol; the organization in the county,
wbijf prf-frssing to advocate the election
' of the Democratic raiwlidatpa prv fc I fi
nally pul.jihhcs "GathV articles fa or
i' g Blaine's election, and defending his
corrupt ac . What ffiffict this divided
Ki'fgianc will have ;t is impossible to
t il. At tin; last moment it may fall
to either .side which, in his opinion, is
likelv to win. Wisconsin and Illinois
are said to be. States that we l ave a
fighting chance t win, but of which I
would have no hope except for the fact
t at our ticket is daily growing in pop
ular favor.
. Upon his nomination the friends of
'-Mr. Blaine announced that he would
pursue an - aggressive campaign. The
only aggression we have yet seen is the
. . top contemj tible attack upon the pri-
. vaie cn a racier ot v rover ievR.ani
which has, unfortunately, provoked the
record of Blaine in Kentucky. The
universal sentiment among decent peo
ple is that such attacks simply disclose
the baseness of their authors and are
not worthy of attention. It is true th?t
the New York Tribune undertakes to
defend the protective, tai iff policy and
wishes to be aggressive in that direc
tion, but the newspapers farther west
- who know better the popular senti
ment, refuse to endorse that polcy buc
fraudulently attempt to fix upon the
Democratic party the doctrine of free
trade; but as the record disproves that
they have come to the conclusion that
it is a delicate subject to handle and
1- 1 1
leave it severely, aione. un one very
material point the Republican press is
ominously silent. That is the power
and influence of corporations. Tewn
shend, ("Gath") in the Enquirer of this
morning publishes an interview w!ta
one jf the managers of the Republican
canvass, in which he is made to say for
Blsjne, "I am, however, anxious about
the present campaign, but I think that
there are so many cranks in the Demo
critic party that, if they can succeed
t'ey will begin to bother the banks
''i the corporations and whatever is left
to give stability to business."
. .The Democratic party, it is true, are
making an aggressive campaign against
corruption in the administration of the
general government, against the co.-rnpt
use of the power of railroad and other
corporations, and a most aggressive
- fight , for the rights of the people
whether grangers, mechanics, or labor
ing men and they are sure to succeed.
. The mudsills, as the Republicans choose
to call them, are aroused and it lequires
no prophet to predict the language they
will speak. I sincerely hope that Ore.
gon will keep step with the music of
reform. L. F. 31.

proposition; he politely informed Mr. Re
,ublican that he was the very man he had
been wanting to. see; that he just had the
fifty dollars at hand and wps willing to ac
commodate him. The Republican said he
did not have the fifty dollars to spare and
that he was only joking when he offered to
bet. We asked Mr. Clarke about the affair;

LOSS OF LIFE
PROPERTY.
A TERRIBLE CONFLAGRATION.
A fire broke out in the Metropolitan
i-Hotel about midnight, Monday, the
18th. The flames were bursting from
the roof and upstairs windows when
first discovered. Men,
women and
children were awakened by flames and
smoke, and had to jump from the upper
windows to save their lives. Lou.
Zigler the proprietor lost his life in his
endeavors to" save his family and
guests, and his remains were burnt to
a cinder befoie they were rescued. The
buildiug was completely enveloped in
flames, when the fire bell sounded the
alar n. The citizens and fire compan
ies fought the flames as best they could,
with the appliances they had at hand.
The hotel which is situated on the
south west corner, of Washington and
Jackson streets wasAloonjf d from the
first. Tho flames spread toward the
sonth, destroying thesa'qon building
adjoining thereto, belonging to E.N.
Moore and occupied by K. McCui'och
and Criteser & Sheridan, respectively;
here the fire was arrested by the brick
store building of Mr. Moore occupied
by Caro Bros., the flames passing to
the rear of the store, licked up and de
stroyed thv wot den v a -ehouses ;f
Caro Bros., nnd Hardy Stanton, w. ih
all their contents, and passing arcund
:hi brick stores, caught and intireiy de
stroyed tho building o :cupied by J.
J askulek,as a jewe'ry sto e,belorg'n to
Sheridan Bros., and caught and bun.el
up the hardwaio st to of Sheridan
Brothers with their entire stock. Here
the flames were arrested by the exer
tion of the fire department aided by the
shruberyand trees which saved the resi
dence of Mi-s. T.P.Sheridan from pro
gressing farther south. E. N. Moore
dwellling on the north-west corner of
the block was also save! by the exer
tion of citizens who kVpt the building
wet down;' these two residences and a
small shed co the south-west corner
of the block,' together with the brick
stores of Caro Brothers, and the store
and post-office building of Hardy Stan
ton are the only structures left an the
entire block. Thse two brick buildings
caugh. many times, but were saved
froth entire destruction by the exer
tion' of the firemen and other citizens,
who after tho water gave oiVt in the
reservoir, kept the flames under sub
jection in these buildings by the use of
buckets. The flames in the meantime
had crossed Jackson street, burnt the
awnings OiT of the brick store belongs
ing to S. Hamilton, on the opposite
side of the street fpom the hotel, and
spreading to the south laid in ashes
the wooden ware houses and outbuild
ings and jewelry store occupied by L
Bel tils, belonging to S. Hamilton,
and the barber shop occupied by C.
HVdley, the salooon and outbuildings
belonging to II. C. Slucnni, and oc
cut ied by T. Mocra fc Co., the boot
and shoe store of L. Lanfjcnburc with
his entire stock, the store of George
Haines and the barber shop of Phil
Da M- tta, with ti e Unitad States
signal otBce. The flames were here cut
off at the brick bank building of Hum
phrey & Flint, by the fire department,
from further progress, although the
bank building is badly damaged. The
flames crossed Washington street and
burnt the wooden cornice off of the
large brick store of S. Marks & Go's.,
and burnt the upstair windows out cf
the south side of building next to the
hotel, but was prevented from catch.
ing the inside of the building by the
use of buckets and water from the in
side.
Many persons who wera sleeping .in
the hotel received slight burns and in
juries, many of whom were forced to
flee in their night clothes, losing even
their apparel. N. Johanson, wife
and son, who had only arrived that
evening from Astoria on their way to
the Coquille, lost all their clothing and
valuables,and are each of them severely
bu-ned, Mrs. Johanson fatally, from
which she died Tuesday afternoon
about 2 o'clock. Mr. J ohanson and
his son, it is thought, will recover.
Mr. Zigler's remains were found in the
space between the hotel and McCul
loch's saloon. He had probably
jumped from an upstair's window after
awakening his guests, ' and injured
himself so that he could not make his
escape, and suffocated with the heat.
The loss in property will exceed one
hundred thousand dollars.

r . . n Memonamr7.'. : - .
Lonis Henry Zigler was born in Botetourt
cftiinty, Virginia, May 20, 1829, and died a
hero's death by consuming flames, in Rose
burg, Oregon, midnight, August 18, 18S1.
When he was three years of age his "pa
rents moved to South Bend, Indiana, where
he learned the trade of blacksaiithing. In
1830, he came to Portland, Oregon, from
thence to Jackson county, where in May,
,1853, he was united in marriage to Miss
Sarah Plymale. For nearly eighteen years
they lived there, then moved to Roeburg,
where they remained a year and a half, go
ing hence to Coo3. Bay, where they resided
eight years, returning to Roseburg in 1882.
Since his manhood he has been alternately
engaged at Llacksmithing, mining and hotel
keeping.
Lou. Zigler was one of Nature's noblemen
brave, generous and true, no man ever
wanted a better friend. Intimately known
throughout Southern Oregon, and with many
friends all over the coast, no man that could
have been called from our midst would be
more sadly missed. He drew his friends to
him by links of steel, and to simplj' to have
met him was to be impressed by his strong
originality, i.e unswerving fidelity to truth,
his iron will and generous impulses that mi''e
him a marked man in any company. He
was your friend aud mine; and we, who in
sadness and sorrow shed a tear over the hero's
grave, have had in his lifo and death an ex
.ampje which showed all -the noblest quali
ties of ttU6 manhood, ;" A fow days btfore
the terrible calamity, our friend in conver
sation said; "If this hotel were to catch fire
I would do all in my power even to sacri
ficing my life to give the alarm to all in it.'
He' was true to hia word, and although
begged ty his family to save.himself, he went
giving the alarm throughout the buildini?,
which was one mass of flames, and fell a
victim to his own grand idea of duty.
Lou. Zijrler possessed in full, round and
heaped measure every quality of true and
noble manhood, and in our . heart of hearts
his memory will b kept green. He was
buried in the Odd Fellow's cemetery, and
may he rest in peace.
He leaves a wife and six jhildren, to whom
the sympathy of the entire community goe s
out without measure, andil'sha'e in '.heir
great and deep sorrow. ,

Eldorado-
Gaily bedight, a gallant knight,
r In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long, singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
Bat he grew old, this knight so bold,
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell ss he found no Epot of ground 'M
That looked like Eldorado. ,
And aa hia strength failed him at length
He met a pilgrim shadow.
"Sh-dow," said he, "where can it be,
This spring of Eldorado?'' . -..
Quoth the shadow: "For the henefit o
suffering humanity I will state thrt the El
dorado spring is situated three, miles wast
rora Rosegurg, and a supply of the water jg
kept constantly on hand and for sale ly Dr.
S. Hamilton, agent, Koseburg, Oregor."
Mr. Geo. Joxe? . T?ear Sir: I have been
troubled with neuralgic pains in my head and cheek
bone1, for several years, and had ifive p all hopes ot
ever getting cured. I went to your medical spring
with my son James and. gnt some of the water, and
drank it freely and found thut it was a mild physic.
1 used it three times a day for a little more than two
months, and the pain-; left me aud I have not felt '
tneni sm'je, u:d that has been 1 months ajro.

Gbo. W. Jo.ves. Dear Sir: I would here atatev)
you that a year ago I suffered untold agonies on ac
count oi r-ues ounuj ana went to Portland to get re
lief from doctors there. I met Mr. Apple if Koae
burg, who advised me before seeing the doctors to
try your Eldorado Mineral Water. I did so and had
one dozen bottles 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, out i am certainly cured by what I used, and
thankful forit, because I suffeted more than I can
express. I would advise any one suffering from this
disease to try your Mineral Water. Sifenld yon
have any oecaviou to use this statement do po. You
are at liberty on my account. I think this is the
least l can do for you, as I was cured by it. Re
spectfully yours, JULIAN JOSEPH.
ROSEBURG, Pec. 3, 1883.
GEO. W. JOXEvS: 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 pepsin 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
relief and iu a short time, if rontinucl, would secure
permanenteure. To any Mho will avoid irriutisjc
stimulants, I am satisfied it will prove of vuluaWe
comfort and benefit. As a general regulator I found
it most excellent. L. F. LANE.
DALLAS, Dec 2, 1883.
