The convention .yesterday was a
democratic love feast, and ought to be
an" object lesson to some of our Ye
publican brethren. There seemed to
be, even in the rather exciting contest

All is quiet around the court house
since the democratic convention ad
journed, but it is presumed the boys
there are "sawing wood." They com
plain of the atmosphere being a little
chilly, and are accusing John Fitzger

his best wood for next winder, but we
don't believe John would do such a
thing. :.
It is said that a new 'play is being
written for Mattie Overman, in which
she is" to have a star part. One would
naturally suppose she would like a rest
after her last appearanoe as a star in
the Dr. Brown trial. . If she doesn't
thiuk so, at least all respectable people
do. This is the age of sensationalism,
but sometimes the actors make a mis
take and we think Miss Overman will
find it out ere many months pass by. "

Many a fake floats on the body poli

claimed to be almost, blind, raked in

son who went to Portland on the same
boat with her, relates that she played

in Albany while she worked Corvallis.

T If we could trace Dyspepsia to its
source, ' it ' would lead back to our
kitchens. In fact, the secret of good
health is good cooking. . If well cooked,
foods are partially digested; if poorly
cooked,' they are less digestible than
in their raw state. If you are a -victim
of faulty cooking: that is, if you suffer
from Dyspepsia, the rational cure must
be looked for in an artificially digested
food, and a food which will at the
same time aid, the digestioa of otHer
foods. . Such a preparation virtually
rests the tired digas ive organs, there-:
by restoring then) to their - natural
strength. - : -.-
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared,
by-the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is
just such a preparation, and a single

value. If your druggist doesn't keep

OUR COUNTY TICKET.
The democrate of vvasio co'-inty, in
convention assembled, beg leave to
present to the suffragists of the county,
a ticket carefully selected from our
best material. No ring methods have
beeu allowed'to prevail in making our
choice, but our work has been done in
a business like way, and as a business
man would go about selecting b
clerks and assistants, with an eye to
their integrity and business, qualifies
tions. The result of this process we
now submit to its final arbitration, the
ballot, of our fellow citizens, confident
cliata like b:nin9S3-lik choice on the
part of trie voters will be our endorse
ment.
The men whose names we submit
need no introduction to most of our
citizens but to the new voter we would
introduce, first our county judge,
GEO. C. BLAKELEY.
Mr. Blakeley is a member of the firm
of Blakeley & Houghton, The Dalles;
is an enterprising businessman, in the
Drime of life. He has served this
county for four years as its county
judge and his record is with you.
Since his administration of the
business affairs of Wasco county its
script has risen to par value, and this
county's credit is as good as that of a
bank. Its roads and bridges are in bet
ter condition than they have ever been
before.
The rights of the widow and the
orphan are safe with Judge Blakeley
as your probate and county judge.
His nomination was unanimous.
Frank Woodcock of Wamic, is our
candidate for sheriff. Mr. Woodcock
is also lu the prime of life and useful
ness, 39 years of age, born in Kansas
and moving to Oregon in early man
hood, be brought with him a reputa
tion for probity and usefulness, which
as been maintained fully here. Ha
is bright, capable and energetic and
! if elected, will bo your sheriff, himself,
this is the first time he has sought
public office, and the fact that he was
chosen as our candidate from among
the galaxy of bright clean business
men who aspired with him for this
honor we feel is sufficient recommen
dation. D. L. CATES,
Of Cascade Locks, the nominee for !
county clerk, is so well known through
out this county that we consider it
hardly necessary to introduce him.
He has served the people well and
faithfully, first as deputy and after
wards as sheriff. Since retiring from
the lost mentioned office he has been
in the mercantil business at Cascade
Locks, this county. Mr. Cates was
nominated by acclamation, and we
present bis name with full confidence
that it will be well receiv d.
He is a good accountant and if
elected can and will do his own work.
For Treasurer, we present the name
of one of the best known and highly
respected citizen of this city and
county,
HON. GEORGE A. LIEBE.
His long career of usef jlness in our
midst, both as private citizen and as
one of the people's servants, (for such,
he always considered himself while in
office), speaks for him better than our
humble efforts possibly can. Every
body knows him, everybody honors
and respects the man. he has served
the people as county judge, and his
record is clean
For county commissioner,
JOHN R. DOYLE,
Of Eight-Mile precinct, is one of the
most substantial farmers of his section.
He has served the people in several '
of those trying but yet important posi
tions that test the good qualities, the l
probity and the citizenship of the
American ' freeman justice of the
peace, road overseer, etc. Thankless i
jobs in themselves, they yet show what
is in a man, and through this ordeal,
as well as in his daily walk, Mr. Doyle
has proven himself a good citizen,
worfy of the confidence we feel
assured will be extended .him. You
will make no mistake in entrusting the
county's interests to his guardianship.
For school superintendent
MR. AARON FEAZIER.
Prof. Frazier has been prinoiple of
the Dufur publio schools for several
years and is selected to serve in that
eapacity another ' year He bas not
sought the honor conferred by this
nomination, but in accepting has ex
ercised one of the higher functions of
citizenship, subordinating hisspwn
desire and interest to his party and
tbe public's demand, s.
As an educator, Prof. Frazier is well
known throughout the cquntry, and
he has served a term in the office of
superintendent of sohools. With, a
full knowledge of . this fact his parly
desired his candidacy again, and he
ac -epted the unsought honor.
For assesor,
GEORGE P. MORGAN,
of Cascade Locks, Mr. Morgan has
been a resident of this county since
1884. was clerk in tbeU. S. Land office
from '86 to '89 and afterwards, deputy
county clerk, edited the Wasco County
Sun a demosratic newspiper for about
a year, removed to Cascade Lbcks
about three years ago and , worked
there a part of the time for the con
tractors. v
. His daily walk has been before this
people for" twelve years and we feel
that they know him cdmpst&s well as
we do. -- -' "' '
' For surveyor we present
CHAS. SCHTJTZ,
of Tbe Dalles. Mr, Schutz is an, old
timer in this country, haying helped
to abate the Indian nuisance in those
early days, called piptieep, n.qt so very
long ago, and yet be is a maq in the
prime of life. He is a competent sup
yeyor a reliable business man and is
recommended for your support.
And last but by no means least,
comes :
HENRY WILLIAMS
of Eight-Mile, jvho as "coroner', V we
hope may never have a job in that line
of business on the corpus dilecti (is that
tbe way to spell it John M 1?) of
any good citizen wh,o nay vote for
him, and yet if elected Mr, Williams
will "sit on" a subject according to
Hoyle, for he always does h's full duty
wherever you put bim. He is too well
known to' need more of this kind of
kendorsement and ought to be elected
in spite of it.
GENERAL WEAVER OS 8ILV2B.
He Tells What He Thinks Will Relieve
the Country's Tired Feellue..
General J. B. Weaver was introduced
to an audienoe that filled the Baldwin
last night by Mr. Al Reese. They were
gathered there, to hear an address by
Weaver on tho subject of free silver.
A number of . local eilyerites "wpre in
attendance upon the general, - whose
talk was listened to . with marked
attention. ' Occasionally the speaker
was vociferously cheered as he gave
nal and forcible way.
Ia introducing his subject the gen
eral said that the present democratic
admin titration had sat still and noi
accomplished a thing. This bro-ighi
out some applause, which was inter
rapted by the general, saying: 'Now
my republican i.-iMias, don t clap: it
will come your turn pretty soon
-n , j . . . . , ,
i do general sam muo me people
party woull shake hanHs with the' re
publican and democratic p.irties and
treat them as brothors until the pres
ent condition is changed.
Among otht r things, he said: "Jan
uary, isy4, tnere was si,oJ,ujJ.o:tJ in
circulation in this countrv: Mar.-h
1896, i here was $1,528,000,00" in cir.;n
lilion. You see, they have retire.
$201,000,000 of your money right du
the panic, when the people were suffer
ing. The money is in the banks.
Uncle Sam has got the lung fever, and
he will die if he stays there. That is
no place for money. It ought to be in
circulation.
It has been said that with free
coinage of silver we will ruin the
country, because England . will dump
all her silver into this country. I say,
let tnem oegin tne dump until we are
knee deep in it. The sived silver
earnings are about $4,009,000,000. and
we have a population of about 70.009..
000, which would give us a little less
than $58 a head. Now, I can stand
tnat easily on my head. How is it
with you? If there are any of you who
think you cannot stand that, I will
take yours, too. There are 100 cents
in a dollar, and there is uo sense in
trying to put fewer or more cents to it.
Vhy did Europe demonetize silver?
To double the value of the bonds in the
hands of Rothschild. Who will go to
the polls and vote for Rothschild, in
stead of his own child?"
Peaoh Crop Destroyed.
The amount of damage done to the
fruit crop by the last freeze-up has
been pretty well ascertained, and it is
more serious that at first supposed, but
not so bad as it might have been.
Practically, the enfire peace crop of
the state has been destroyed. In the
vieinity of Med ford there may be a
tenth of a crop, but to all extent and
purposes the peach crop is done for.
Early cherries are also' completely de
stroyed, and 50 percent of early prune
were killed. E trly pears were also in
jured to some extent. These facts are
obtained from Mr. M. O. Lownsdale,
who has carefully looked into the
matter. He says it was not a frost that
did the injury, but a regular freeze-up.
the like of which so late in the spring
has not been known here since the
state was settled. The only consola
tion fruitgrowers have is that the
trees on which the fruit was killed
will have a rest this season and will
make an extra growth. No one need
be alarmed about a scarcity of fruit, as
there will be plenty of late cherries,
pear, plums, apples, etc. Oregonian.

W. R. Ellis, of Heppner, a free-silver
man, was reno n mated for congress
last night at Portland on the tbtrd b il

district.
Wallace MeCammant of Multnomah
aid C. W. Parrish of Grant county,
so and money men, were elected dele
gates to the St. Liuis convention and
instructed for McKinley.

by a combination of the Ellis men with
the anti-Simon delegates from Multno'
mah county. When the convention
met in the morning and elected C. W.
Fulton of Clatsop county, chairman
and A. W. Patterson of Heppner sec
retary, it was apparent that the anti

resolution iustrusting iihe delegates to
the national republican convention to

the time. Bourne and Hendley were

Seiners Hay Can Their Own Fish.
It is reported that there was a meet
ing of some of the seiners down the
river a few days ago since the Astoria
cannery men declared their ultimatum
ia regard to the prloe of fish this
season, and that the seiners decided
that if the strike should las till May,
they would can their own fish. - By
uniting the upper and lower river
canneries it will enable the combine
to pact nsn, should there be a strike
of any duration, in great quantities at
mere nominal cost, and place them
in a position to fill their , orders inde
pendent of the supply from the traps,
seines or gill nets. The prospect for
a long and seriousstrike are Imminent.

pleted by June 1. It will be on the
