So many base insinuations have been h, thrown out by an alleged "Taxpayer, who ia an acknowledged ofiBceseeker, in the "alleged newspaper up street con-1 cernina; the state and county tax levy that ' Ths PfXTlBW places before its readers this week a plain state-sent in figures I to show the cause of the state levy and : to expose the "organized hypociisy" of the clique that is seeking, by hair-split ting subterfuges and downright falsify ins. to throw odium udob an honest administration of public affairs. The state tax lew made for 1885 mnder the republican administration I was 4 mills, notwithstanding the fact that there was a surplus in the treas ury of $268,212.45. The tax raised amounted to f 315,104.04 which gave for the entire expenses of the state for tkeyear the grand total of $583, '316.49. It is but justice to add, and The Rkvikw disdains all word juggling uu penr iuuF t-j r its large proportions ia order to meet the appropriations of the legislature. The state tax levy for 1886, under the Moody administration, still was 3.1 mills, bringing into the treasury the sum of $239,284.81 which with ceipts from various sources would ieet the estimated state expenses of 78,006.38.

Iican legfsrStCTe, or more than 120,000 mere than the total tax taised for the -Rntira exnensea of the frovenunent as estimated by the republican board. These appropriations of course, were in addition to the regular . appropiia- tions for the general expenses. I may have been the part of folly to make these appropriations as claimed by "Office-seeker" but it is only the part of common honesty to pay tbem, .which ia all the democratic board has 33artainto do, ind-to do which it was necessary to increase the state tax levy to 4.9 mills. - Whatever odium therefore attaches to any v one " in the mattet must be placed upon the shoul dors of the republican legislature. ' The Review in all candor, overlook ing the sharp practice of theaV re publican board in reducing the levy to an extent totally inconsistent with the wants of the state, seeks to attach no blame to any one. It, howeverr feels justified ia asking if it is not hypoc ajsy in apofitiel--paErty-to seek to throw the rwponsibility of its own acts upon its opponents. ' No one man was more resporisihle ifor the appropriations made by the hftt Legislature thanMr, Benjamin, for he was chairman of the commitiee oa Wy and Meaas, which exercises general supervision over it hilli aprrroonating money, and it is hypocrisy ia him, and organized by a risVin the coterie of republican poi ts, who knowing these facta, seek ., . n thedemocracy, tbe ac--mjamin and bis Repub- If this U not the quint essense ol "orgamzea nypocnay The Rkvikw will agree never to use the i . a a a.

The administration of Gov. Pennoy- er is thoroughly honest, able and ef ficient and such is the universal verdict of the people, regardless of party affilli- atioas. For thirty years in Oregon his name has been a synonym of honor and true manly worth, and the democracy md the people can congratulate them selves upon having him in charge of the affairs of the state. Concerning the county tax levy, the Plaindealer editorially says in an arti cle relating to Jackson and Douglas counties: TVmolaa (Hnmtv'a financial affairs i Iiva Kaaii tft thtk lftat nix VPAra thG ! Jud and one Commissioner xorming it is now paying interest upon $20,000 with a tax levy as high as was ever laid by any Court under republican control. So here we have an example of two democratic counties in nnanciai trouble with irate taxpayers howling on their track. The above is full of misrepresenta tions and was written witnout any regard to the records, which are open to public inspection. In the first place tha innnd tiaa nnlv heen under demo- vuo J .jm?!,tt!n -in, 1884. and WCM-V 1 I the record of the tax levy for the past An vaara is as follows: , ... ... r T t I For 1878, with Gaddis, Rep.

For 1886, same board, levy 18 mills. For 1887, same board, levy 20 mills. It will thus be seen at a glance that the PlaindeaUr does not go by the record, and misrepresents a plain matter of fact, utterly regardless of truth. That the county is now temporarily in debt 1 man nn 2. xt.: .1 l i ,wv u uuuuug mure uim uswu J for this time of the year, but the Tlain- dealer will not inform its readers that j there- is 928,000 of taxes due tne j unty, which is more thah an onset and tnat Poetically the county is out of debt Tha imnmvHiiflntfl whir-n tiavA nAAn carried forward during the past few years since Judge Fitzhugh's administra tion amounting in the aggregate to $50,000, besides the usual necessary expenses of the county have been met by the taxes as above. A large pro portion of these improvements notably $6,000 for the poor farm and $22,000 for bridges have been provided for by the democratic administration of affairs during the past four years, and one of the most expensive murder trials in the annals of the state the Eddings trial cost ing in the neighborhood of $6000 had to be borne by the county since J udge Fitzhugh came into office. Then the remarkable era of the Purdom adminis tration of the sheriff's office from 1882 to 1884, when despite the protest of the county judge, the sheriff was allowed mileage at ten cents for the round trip for serving papers by telegraph, and the destruction of the tax receipts stubs by Mr. Purdom will show what has become of the people's taxes. But then republican sheriffs like senators come high, and are a luxury that the people can afford to dispense with. As far as "irate taxpayers being on their track" is concerned, we know of but one self-styled "Taxpayer1 who is crying himself hoarse in a vain attempt to sow discord among the people, with the hope of benefiting his own personal ends thereby. Is it not a lovely specta ole the "Plaindealer advertising an ex tensive feal estate business, and then seeking to keep away immigration by false charges of indebtedness and ex- trtvagance. The Review has thus, without any desire to conceal, to evade or to mis represent the facts, given these lengthy quotations from the record in order to sat the matter entirely correct before the people. Facts, plain, brist ling facts are the basis of this art;cle, and we have "hewn to the line, let the obips fall where they may." Of all tlingv we despise a "narrow, contract ed view of any subject, or a half truth like the Vhindeakr's $20,000 indebt echvns item, suppressing the taxes due as an offset, and have given our readers a broad, comprehensive and stiictly re liable statement based entirely upon the record. We have not sought to bandy epithets nor to deal in glittering geueralites, but have sustained our every position from the public records which are open to inspection by all, and close this prolungtrd aitichv with tbe toast, agreeable to all citizens of the count v, "Douglas county is pi ac tic all y out of debt, rich, prosperous and contented enjoying the great blessing of a democratic administration." .

The truth is, if one hun dred thousand dollars were to be in vested in Douglas in the next ten days, not a dollar would they have to pay of this $22,000 indebtedness. The last tax levy was made to cover this, and it will do it, and is in the hands of the sheriff for collection at this moment. We reaffirm our former statement, that "Douglas county is in a prosperous condition, and practically out of debt," and defy Tax-payer" to prove the contrary by the records. SLA1XJS DECLI1TBS. Mr. Blaine declines the nomination for President in a letter to Mr. Jones, Chairman of the National Republican committee. The letter is well written and shows much study, but betrays one onn.;nS... ;m ..w I,. .,o- W woLsab. J s vau iihimv j a v 9 w v w I hard to make the American people be ii8ve that he loves them. Why this greftt effort of an American like Mr j Blaine to feel the necessity to make a I 0U(j profession that he loves the Amer- can people, especially the Republican! His "Jchnny Bull" antagonism and Parnell favoritism it may be he feels has had somewhatof anaUenadngeffectupon the American mind, and his conclusion is a wise one. Read his letter, we commend it to our Republican friends as a production having a deep signifi- cance. We assure the citizens of Douglas county that no damage shall be done them by the unblushing technical pre varications of the Plaindealer and its justifiable attacks upon the financial condition of the county of which all real tax payers feel proud. Many leading citizens have congratulated us this week for showing up these false issues sought to be made by two or three political office Beekers. ' Tbe Oregonian champions General Phil. Sheridan for president. Well now we ought to have a rest. Mr. Sheridan is a good fighter we know by a sad experience, but he is not the man to administer this government in times of peace. He quite likely would have a war with some foreign power in six months, to gratify his impetuous desire to be first m war. It would be a wise action on the part of the state Democratic conven tion which meets at Pendleton On April 3d, to instruct the delegates to the national convention to vote for Presi dent Cleveland's re-nomination. Ore gon has few opportunities to take a leading position in national politics and the priority of our convention should be made the most of. It is said that whole counties in Kansas will pass under the hammer during the coming spring. They are mortgaged to an unprecedented extent to Eastern loan companies, and the mortgages are now maturing. This is the direct result of republicanism, high tariff and grass hoppers. Tidetle. If the county "nibbler" who has been nibbling at the county nubbins, has had any of his political prospects spoiled by tbe late discussions in The Review and rlaindealer. be must blame himself and no one 'else for go ing to war before counting the cost. Millions of acres of public land given to railroads by R-publicsn ad ministrations have been declared for feited by the Cleveland administration and restored to the heritage. Mr Bet'iamin savs thiit he dor-s not believe all tiki "Tax payer" said. - We dont blame lnm Wben Bab-Vva aick, w t bar Caatoria, Who sla a Child, aba cried for Caatoria, Wion aha beama Hiaa, aba eloac to CMtoria, Whoa aba had CMldroa, aba gars taa Caatoria, Just whv the Pot tlfind News should insist upon the prevn isce of hoodlum -ism and incorrigible luys running the public schools in Portland is more than we can account for. If Professor Fug ler were to be held responsible by the courts for the correction of that boy, .nvoliv wnnlrl un tvitm in the nub- . . i - . 1. - OA.-,. ''!, n ngd&uA pubU(J schools, and irate parents defying au thority when their vicious children dis obey the laws, and newspapers with a very low estimate of that grand Amer ican doctrine "the Greatest liberty is strict obedience to law." It is not aim nlv a personal matter as to whether it is Rigler or any one else, it is the pre cedent that will be established. As to the facts the evidence is conclusive in favor of Rig'er, hence no fears are en tertained concerning the government of public schools in Oregon. Later. Since the abovo was written the mrv in Portland has found that Prof. Rigler is innocent of the charge. And we are constrained to say futher, that a compliment from the New$ is tantamount to a suspicion, and a criti cism from it is really a recommenda tion. The Democrats of Douglas county will put up their very best men : for the Legislative ticket as well as , for the county officers. ; This done, and a good fair canvass, no grave doubts need be entertained for the success of the Douglas county democracy. The republicans have good men and no . ' , , ., ... ,. ... , , doubt they will bnng their best to the front, and hence a lively time may be looked for. All candidates of all parties by all the newspapers in the county we believe, will be fairly treated, while the "longest polo will knock the persimmon." The State tick et will elicit comparatively but little interest as only one Supreme Judge and a Congressman are to claim the suffrages of the people. Wk notice among some of our Re publican friends a disposition to insist that J. O. Le&imre of Eastern Oregon succeed Hon. B. Hermann as Oregon's Congressman. We have only lo say, there can be no comparison, between the two men, - only a contrast. Mr. Hermann s ability is positive and known, while Mr. Leasure's is unknown and unlikely. However, the Dem ocrats will settle that dispute between any aspiring candidates of the opposite party. The name of W. R. Bilyeu, or the names of a number of others will be sufficient to paralyze the prospects of any Republican Bro. that may de sire to succeed Mr. Hermann.

It is a little and a jealous spirit which will not even allow the editor of The Rew to make a speech or preach a sermon without some slighting remark in the Plaindealer. ' The Democratic central committe3 met at the couH house last Wednesday in response to a call. We regret that spate prevents from publishing their actions in detail but in another place will be found a call for the primaries and convention. There was an unus -ually large representation from the various precincts, and the Democrats are wide awake and in dead earnest for the campaign. Those who before have been lagging are now coming ont bold ly in the front ranks and the Demo cratic flag has been flung to the breeze either for a glorious victory or an honor, able defeat Henry George and T. V. Powderly, the foremost leaders of the working men in the United States endorse the administration of President Cleveland, while Jay Gould and the railroad mo nopolies are enthusiastic for Blaine. The public improvements made by Douglas county during the past year are sUch that any country should be proud of. The onward march of pro gress is the watchword for old Doug las- ' The county senatorial bee that has been buzzing in Bra Benjamin's night cap has ceased its humming, by "Tax payer" having thrown a little dyna mite into his political nest. . It is growing more and more evi dent that President Cleveland will be nominated and re-elected. The people have confidence in his sterling honesty and upright manhood. 'Taxpayer " and company ought to go and see how many times their names occur on petitions to the county court for improvements made during the last year or two. Already there is beginning to be an advance in the price of real estate in Roseburg and vicinity. The boom will be on hand as advertised.

The Oregon Sentinel, ia a last ditch article headed Hocas Poena m the Senate," indulges in the most errati c statements concerning the confirmation of Lamar. There are Iota of good Democrats in Jackson, and it is but just to them that these misstatements be denied, Read the Sentinel: ;. Without one word of attempted jus tification, except on the part of Riddle berges, tbey all voted to confirm, as k matter of coarse. ? T i It is thirty years, at least, since La mar has paid any attention to the study of law. , ' I ; Now, the Sentinel is either groping in the densest ignorance concerning the facts, or is wilfully 'misrepiesen ting the case, , The World respectfully calls its attention to the : magnificent letter by Senator Stewart, of Nevada, to his constituency announcing his in tention to vote for confirmation.

If there were more such journals as the Statesman there would be more Re publicans. ' The State and county ftdmsnistra tions have shown such a contrast of economy to the former extravagant ad ministrations, that the people have no doubt concluded to continue upon this line of self preservation. ! Douglas county having accounted for every dol lar of her money spent and moreover the wisdom with which it has been ex pended, commends itself to every tax payer as the most sensible thing to do is, to let well enough alone. The readers of Thk Review no doubt have observed from time to time we gave the various county - exhibits that all may -see and figure for themselves. The improvements in the county will greatly enhance the value of real and personal property. : TRJS SITUATION. The situation is about like this, Mr. Cleveland's admisistration will be e; dorsed by tbe New York Democracy, the Democrats throughout i the union realize that Cleveland should be en dorsed, this is then equivalent to his re- nomination, ; therefore we believe be yond a doubt that he will be re-elected as he ought to be. A cleaner I more just and economical administration has not been enjoyed by the American people for forty years. That Gov. Hill of New York could be elected President if nominated is equally certain, but at this time Cleveland Js far ahead. ja&i. We look forward with relief to the time when the New York people will find out that the West is not in Dakota nor Iowa, nor Nebraska. ' but in the west. Statesman. ! Your mistake lies in the fact that Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska etc, constitute a part of that tier of States that con stitute the ."west proper. : All states and territories lying west of the Rockies are the Pacific states, and are a long way west of the "west if you please. The promptness with which Douglas county's taxes have been collected and the State's portion paid, certainly re flects great credit upon tax-collectors Agee and Miller. 'Douglas was the first, out of twenty-nine counties that make this state, to pay in their Stite tax, and the first to pay every dollar ow ing to the State.

Mr. Bilyeu is especially popular through out the Willamette valley as the cham pion of the farmer's interest, and we presume that Mr. Hyde has a good following in eastern Oregon. Our fel low townsman, Mr. Hamilton the most popular and available Democrat in Southern Oregon, is a young man of sterling worth and capable of leader ship and will be called upon in the near future to take his place among the leaders of the state. Mr. Gearin in point of location, with his great pop ularity in the Republican stronghold would prove an invincible candidate, would make an able canvass and place Oregon in the Democratic column.
