A Plain Statement.
To the voter, of Jackson County:
It does seom strange to mo attar
filing my certificate of acceptance to
have to come out in a card again de
claring whether I am a candidate for
county judge on tha People's Party
ticket ornot. Yes, lam in the fight
and expect to stay until the votes are
counted aud it elected will survo thw
people to the best of my ability and if
defeated will stand by the party and
battle for right and justice,
i . . .. , W. T. Anderson,
Phoenix, Or., May 3, MSG.
The political fight in this county is
between the Jacksonville ring and the
rest of tho county: or thi People vs.
the Bosses. Fight to the death.
The damoeratio party of Jackson
county will put no ticket in the Q.ild
this year that is tha pure democracy.
Of coursi the Jacksonville ring have
a ticket outbut it must not figure at the
polls. The Pooplq are to reign after
this election ' and . the ringsturs are
about to realize it.
U. S. Mitchell, of Grant's Pass.,
democratic nominee for prosecuting
attorney, is funny. Ia his speech hero
Monday, he said: "Farmers should
be loaners of money instead of bor
rowers." Yes, and we say farmers
SHOULD be milliouers instead of pau
pers, but they are NOT.
Sale. Or., May 4. The nomina
tions and acceptances of M. .V. Rork,
for representative from the first dis
trict, and W. H. Walker, for supreme
judge, have been filed with the secre
sary cf state. ' Thcsj are People's
Party, candidates. The nominations
were made by individual electors.
- Pleasb bear in mind every one of
you that there Is no polotics in the
campaign of Jackson county this year.
There is a fight on but it is bjtween
the people and the ring aud nothing
else can be made out of it; therefore,
the principal reason you should vote
the People's Party ticket next Juno is
because its ticket is not made up cf
political bosses.
The democratic and republican con
ventions are over, and the tickets they
have up will you look at them only
for a moment? My! they are enough
to make an owl laugh. The old par
ties' ring had their slate mado up, and
it is only necessary to give a glance at
the two old party tickets to see how
well it wa3 carried out. ill you vote
for your own interests, for your coun-
ty, or will you vat3 for th ring?
As elucidated in hU speech here,
Veatch's main fight against Hermann
is that he is a railroad attorney nnd of
course a friend of monopoly and an
enemy to the farmer. Admitted.
But ho is on tender ground in this
county when ho talks about railroad
attorneys for one of the democratic
nominees for district judgo has biou a
railroad attorney for several years and
is therefore, according to Veatch, a
friend of monopoly and an enemy to the
farmers. Voters bsar this in mind
when at the polls. ' .
" SOME of our dear friends havo even
told us that the men on tho People's
Party ticket were loo honest and as a
general thing unversed iu the work
ings of governmental machinery.
That's just it, heretofore the men in
office in this county knew entirely too
much of the intricacies of government
for the good of the people and wo are
making an effort to put honest men in
their places, who although purhaps
unskilled as wire-pullers, will at least
have the welfare of the county at large
to heart and will unselfishly endeavor
to carry out the spirit of the law.
THE idea that the third party is
made up of democrats more than re
publicans or vice versa is erroneous.
We have heard both sides argued with
in the week. The truth is that as a whole
the thjrd prty is pretty evenly bal
anced with respect to democrats and
republicans. A democrat will argue
that as the third party draws from the
ranks of democracy just so much will
it strengtnen tne republicans and a
republican will tell you . the same
thing. That is true, but both tho old
parties are equally the los3rs, there
fore, it will not apply. "
IT is not unlikely that Gen. Jain- B.
Weaver of Iowa, will be- tho presiden
tial noininee at Omaha on July 4th of
the Peoples' Party, Mr. Weaver is a
man of great eloquonca nnd of a long
public experience, whieh has only
served to deepen his Intense convic
tion that the money power and the
great corporate interests in general
aro threatening the Amorioan republic
with destruction. Ha has the welfare
of the masses at heart and the courage
of his convictions lift him above the
rabble of prejudice. In his nomina
tion tho great cause of reform will
have a standard bsarer of the highest
order.
THE Alliance people in tha first con
gressional district have done wisely in
not making any nomination for con
gressman. When the democrats put a
mail nice K. M. V eaten in tho Ueid,
there Is no reasonable excuse for a
third-party nominee, and the Alliance
men evidently realize the foot, Veatch
is a good enough candidate for the
farmers and workingmen, and we will
be surprised f lr does not gut a ma-
jority of their votes. Ho richly dessr
ves them. He has been a tried and
true friend of the people for many
years, and now they can reward ' him
by electing him to cougress, to tuke
tho place of buncomb Biiigcr Port
land Telegram.
The Telagram must b3 asleep or is
wilfully misrepresenting facts; in
either case it tells a falsehood when
it says that no nomination has been
made for congressman in that district
by the Peoples' Party, which is the
party meant, we presume by the "Alli
ance people." Hon. M. V. Rork, of
Salem, is the Peoples' Party nominee
and he filed his accoptanca on the 4th
inst. Tha Telegram's attempt to mis
lead tho casual reader is "too thin."
Veatch is a good m.w, bat Rrk is tho
man the people want and are going to
have.
There is war at the Alliance con
ference at Brimingham, nt which fif
teen states aro represented. Some
favor a third party and some do not.
The advantage is all on the side of the
opposition. If they beat the thiid
pai ty movement in tho conference,
that will end it as a national alTair, and
if they do not there is no way tocompjl
them to supiort it in their own states.
They have the best of tho situation,
and need not worry much whichever
way the conference may decide. Port
land Oregonian.
The conference has adjourn -d and
tho "third party movemjut'' is uot
beaten, consequently as a "national
affair" the movement is not at an end,
as tho Orogonian will learn to it3 sor
row iu November. The above is about
as near tho truth as tho Oregouian
ever gets, and, oh, how it is worrying
ovr the "third party .movement." It
seeks to sow seeds of contention and
fear by such squibs as th above, but it is
of no avail. This is au age of education
and "research. The trouble in the
Alliance convention was simply over
the right to discuss politics at the
meeltng. Tho settlement was amica
ble aud tho political and rcligous free
dom of the members was lefi- untram-
meled, while the majority of the fif
teen states are id favor of tho People's
Partv.
THE AFTEKMATU.
Ox thaevening of the 4th tho dem
ocrats from tne various precincts of
the county b?gan pouring into the
little "burg' of Jacksonville for the
purpose of being ready for thoir con
vention (?) which W3S to commence
the next day. and by S o'clock the
entertaining capacity of the little foot
hill city was filled to her uttjrmosl
and Medford was called upon to givo
rest to tho overflow.- After party
-booses bad put in faithful work until
the "we sma hours," conquering all to
be conquered, and Alexandcc like,
weeping because there was no more to
conquer, they laid their weary heads
upou their downy pillows, cuntemplta
ing and dreaming of what a day may
bring forth. Xot long did they have
for dozing, for the dawn of the critical
day was soon upon th-.m and wivh or
bicular appendages somewhat con
gested and more than one with the
j nail extremity in tho same condition
they were up and rvadv for butt!
j almost by the time the lark was on the
wing. With tho rise of the morn-
tngs sun the remaining delegates
Cocked from everv quarter aiid from
the seething, sargin g m-iss of living j
humanity, rushing to and fro, it wt-s
clearly to be seen that the fray was on,
and the ring was there with "Rum,
Romanism or Rebellion as tb.ir motto
and other places quite a number of
them with the Medford deli-gation
iu the lead., with their i-3vorit?-or-
nothing-and-ruin,"' partly because of
some of their offioseekiug delegates
that have, McCawber like, bjen wail
ing for something to turn up, not be
ing in it on 'the socond place. But
the ring was there to stay and not a
section could ba disarranged, and the
"Rig was up," thd preconcocted
ticket a disgrace to an iutclligont
and libarty loving people, placed iu
the field. And the scutne passed
upon it by the leading and honorable
democrats from all over Jackson
county is that, "We will down the
whole thing." "Vote for the ring?"
No!"' '"Vote for simply Nickell'r'
"No:" "We will votj for thj whole
people."
The above will apply to' a great
extent to tho republicans, although
there was less underground work and
more of the stink visible to tho on
looker. The whole business between
the two. however, is a slate affair, and
of the few, very few, good men on the
ticket, they are only that much more
to bo pitied for having, allowed their
names to bi placed side by side with
the "ringsters."' It can uot be possible
that a handful of men, versed in th3
profossion . of polities, can sway a
thousand voters to the distruction.of a
commonwealth hithoto noted for its
individual independence.
lifri, Weaver Picnic.
Tuesday, May 10, the day advertised
as the Gen. Weaver picnic at the fair
grounds, dawned bright enough, but
before tho sun was two hours high tho
sky became- overcast and a drizzling
rain came down with more or los3 fre
quency for the greater part of the day,
which with a cold wind made it some
what uncomfortable for picnicers
Notwithstanding all these disadvan'
taircB, wagon load after wagon load of
peoplo began arriving at an early
hour and before 10 o'clock thero were
several hundred people on the grounds.
S." H. Holt, of Phoenix, opened the cero-
monies with a noat little speech, after
which ' music was rendered by the
glee club, which was followed by F. T.
Dowping, of Central Po'nt, nominee
for representative on the People's
Party tipkot, Mr, Downing spoke at
length on matters of interest and near
importance, all of which was listened
to attentively and received' with ap
plause. Music again followed and then
it was time for the lunch dinner which
nearly all had provided themselves
with. One o'clock was the hour set for
tho appearance of Gen. Weaver, and
when that hour arrived the crowd had
almost ' doubled, ' noticeable among
which wero several politicians, both
democrats and republicans.
Promptly at one o'clock, that grand
and gentlemanly orator, Gon. Jus. B.
Weaver of Iowa, appeared before the
eager' audience, and on being intro
duced by Chairman Holt, received an
ovation which mutt havo douo his
noble heart good. v
The Bpoaker entored at one upon
his discourse and riveted the atten
tion of the vast audience for' over two
hours. His stylo is original and of the
sort which goes to the heart and draws
out tho finer feelings of tho-' listener.
Applause was frequent aud enthusias
tic and with the rapidity of, thought
his sentences called forth laughter,
followed in an instant with intense
feeling and impressiveness. He
handled tho tariil question like the
master that ho is, und the subject of
finance was never made so pluin.
Spaco forbids our going into detail,
but of all his listeners none can say
that he did not prova beyond contrt-
versy that our pressnt system of taxa
tion was rotten to the core nnd that
tho demonetization of silver was one
of the crying evils of tho day. Ha
speaks out plainly and concisely the
remedies by which thvsj momentous
questions can bo right.sl. and w are
safe in saying the seeds of his philoso
phy will bear to the betterment of
mankind.
A SKETCH.
Eagle Point, May 5, 1802.
KJitor Southern tircgon Mail:
As a looker-on rather than an
active worker in eitherof the differ
ent parties, I most respectfully ask
space in j-our valuable p.iper to
speak in regard to at least one can
didate that is now before tho peo
ple of this countv for sheriff, and
that is V. II. Bradshaw. I be
came acquainted with Mr. Brad
shatv soon after his arrival in this
county, and have been very inti
mately acquainted wfth him ever
since. Our first acquaintance was
brought about by a business trans
action, and there has not teen but
a very short interval at anv one
time since but what Mr. Bradshaw
. - . . .
and 1 nave had dealings in some
way, and if everybody in the coun
ty knew him as well as I know
hiui, these lines would be needless;
but for those who are not person
ally acquainted with him, this
humble effort is intended, and to
all such I will say that W. II.
Bradshaw, the People's party can
didate for sheriff, is one of our solid,
hard working farmers, and one that
understands his business thorough
ly. He is a man eminently quali
fied, and is a gentleman iu the very
fullest sense of that term. He is
verv generous hearted and alwavs
, ready nnd willing to help a friend
i'outof a knotty place. If a man is
! honest, no
difference how poor he
j is, he never poes away from Brad
:emptv lianUeo, as manv in tins
part of the county can testify, and
he is always found laboring in every
laudable undertaking for the bene
fit of the farmer and laboring man.
and his latch string is always
hanging oui. But after all it would
indeed -be very strange in these
days of political wire puiaiig by
the opposition if there should be
no mud thrown at Brad. There is.
I am truly sorry to say, a vcrv
small clique, composed of a few of
each of the old parties, pooled to
gether to defeat him. I am sorry
to think that any man claiming to
be a gentleman should cuter into
any thing of the kind, but this lit
tle clique is composed of men that
arc willing to do any thing eyen to
sacrifice a friend or neighbor to
carry their point, hence a lew
campaign lies. They consider Mr.
Bradshaw a vtry dangerous candi
date and they are willing to resort
to any thing to defeat him at the
election whichever man thev
thiuk is the utrongest the republi
can or the democrat they are to
unite on him, I mean the little
clique in and around Eagle Point
and Brownsboro; any thing to beat
Bradshaw and the Peoples' Party.
And now fellow laborers of Jackson
county- in all earnestness let me
say, let us for once lay aside all
narlv bhackles and cast our votes
for sheriff for a man that is one of
us, a man whose interests are ident
ified with ours, a man who if elect
ed will know us and give us just :.8
cordial a greeting after his election
as before, a man that will always
treat us white, a man that is uni
versally respected and highly es
teemed by all (except the little
clique) who know him. I hope
gentlemen and fully believe that
you wiil do your duty. -
Eagle Point.

Editor Southern Oregon Mull:
Dear sir: Probably a little re
port from Sniderville and vicinity
would not be amiss in tho columns of
your excellent paper. The rain
still continues its soothing showers
so it is a little sticky and soft for
Mr. J. B. Welch's logging outfit,
which, when it gets to the top of
the hill, is like the old negro's bea
ver, whioh he called a .slickum
greasy, but it ia dillicult to get
there. The farmers aro smiling all
over their faces when they look
upon their grain prospects. Tho
peoplo around tho foot hills huve
discovered that Jack Frost did
not get qfiite all the fruit but they
do not' know bnt ho will mako
another call when tho rain ceases
hope not. The AHlnPe. brethren
seem to be moving steadilv 011, we
hope to victory and hope they will
tide over election, for we don't want
any more funerals at Antioch than
we can avoid. Hold up your hands,
ye eons of. toil, if you do die hard.
Tho new Daplist church house
in our city is being built as fast as
the weather will premit, under the
supervision of Rev. J. A. Slover and
Mr Jacob Bowman. Tho most of
the cornice is on but the roof is
lacking and very much needed.
Mr. J. B. Rogers has sold 160
acres of Lis land to Messrs. Wil
hite and Dearmon and still they
collect around our Sniderville.
Tho democratic primary went
off Saturday without a jar in Table
Rock precinct, republicans too, I
guess, unless it was in the throbbing
hearts of some of the aspirants.
Take it easy noys, we can't get
there with both feet.
Mrs. Nickels, Mat Welch's
daughter, from Ashland, is visiting
her parents in Sniderville. We
hope she will be favorably impressed
with our town and people and have
many good things to tell when she
returns to her home.
The district school of our dis
trict, Xo. 11, is progressing finely
under the auspices of Prof. C. B.
Fitzgerald. Everybody seems to
be well pleased.
J. A. Welch is right up in good
substantial order for cutting lumber
tor everybody as ? oan as the ground
will hold up the log wagons; some
lumber already in the yard ; no
mountain to climb to get to the
mill ; right in the heart of Snider
ville. It is canable of cutting
from 10,000 to ' 15,000 feet per
day bu it will not all be used in
our town. We can divide.
Mr. E. Wooley's daughter, Min
nie, is now visiting friends and
relatives in the Willamette valley,
and having no wife he is now
alone with one bov And needs the
comforting influence of some one of
the fair sex. Plenty of company if
oulv solicited.
