BCSISEss.-1uite Il number of work
men from the Canal and Lock Compa-
ny. came up during the week, TO work
on the railroad near Roseburg. They,
like many others, concluded that Mr.
Hallett is about as safe and business
like man as n they find, and being
acquainted with blasting and such
work, of which there is no small
amount on the road in this country
1t seems they were able TO make more
satisfactory arrangements to work on
the railroad than on the Locks, and at
the same time nave easier work, n
more variety thereof. Business is biz.
Don't you see?-U n,p1ud Ensign.
Yes, VIC do see; and the voters of
the Willamette Valley will also gee
that these men were taken from
Clackamas county, where they would
not have been allowed to vote, and
sent by Ben Holiday, into a county.
where he already has a number of
men, aud he thinks the voting of fifty
or a hundred men would not be dis
covered. In Clackamas county Hol-
laday has no men, and he could not
blind the people there sufficiently to
cast u railroad vote, but in Douglas,
he can use his hirelings, he thinks,
with IMMUNITY. Let the honest voters
of Douglas look well to this matter,
and allow this political meddler to use
none of this imported element. 1t
would have been better for the Radi-
cal party had the boast of the E'asig,
never been uttered. Democrats, you
are now forewarned, see that you are
thereby forearmed.

DEMAGoGUIsM. = Judge Boise, in
his speech here last Friday night, said
the "Constitution of the United States
declared that all men aoere born free
and ~eqaal." Not satisfied with this
ridiculous declaration, he repeated
that the Declaration of ~Independ-
ence, as all present kneao, said all men
soere born free and equat!" Now
there was not a man or woman in the
Court House who had ever read
either of these instruments, but knew
no such words could be found in them.
| Judge Boise has been on the bench
in this State for some twelve years,
and makes %pretentions to honesty
and intelligence; and we were aston
ished to hear him make, before an in
telligent audience, such bare-faced,
false assertions and Interpretations as
these. This is a species OF base dem
agoguism to which we had thought
Boise could not stop.

FOR PROSECUTING ATTORNEY.

The Salem Statesman of last Sun
day, in speaking of N. B. Humphrey,
Republican candidate for Prosecuting
Attorney, says he is "a young man OF
good legal attainments." Now every
person in this community knows that
his legal attainments are of the most
obscure sort, and that he has never
attained any character as a lawyer
even at the local bar. The Statesman
also says that Humphrey has always
been firm, consistent, and straight
forward in his political views-neither
q changing nor a trifer in political
principles" Now this little story
will do to gull the Salemites with,
but it is too thin to wash in this coun-
ty, where it is well known that "Car.'
eve had any decided political views
and where he is considered about as
much of a Democrat as Republican,
He was reared as a Democrat, served
q term of enlistment during the war
as a Democrat, voted for Mcclellan
against Lincoln while he was in the
army IN 1864, and would be a Demo
crat yet but for certain official IA
vors which have been shown him by
the Radical party. 1t is true he is
understood to be a clever, jolly, roll
licking sort of a fellow, on which ac-
count he is quite popular with the
"boys," but we see no reason why
any Democrat should vote for him in
preference to the regular Democratic
nominee, Mr.. Shaw, who is a lawyer
of acknowledged ability and a digni.
fed, high-minded, honorable gentle
man.
Two years ago we carried this Dis
trict by a handsome majority AMI We
can do it again if Democrats only do
their duty next Monday. Our party
pride and prestige is at stake in this
matter, and we trust no Democra,
will SO far forget his duty as to vote
for the Radical candidate and thus
assist in giving over to the enemy
what should of right belong to us
Old Linn ought to be good for 25C
majority against Humphrey mex,
Monday.

JUDGE BOISE OF SWAMI LANDS.

This legal star, in his speech here
last Friday, attempted 10 justify him
self for being the claimant OF 10000
acres of the swamp lands of Oregon.
He made several attempts, a good
deal ike the Yankee witness, who re-
peatedly began his story with: WAL,
cap'n Rice he gin a'huskin;" and at
last, after many illusions to his 'cous-
in Sally billiard" arrived at the point.
II was this: He found no fault with
the swamp bill. It was a good thing
for Radicals and Democrats; yet his
being occupied with the duties of his
judgeship, he was prevented from
filing upon any of these lands until the
best of them had been applied for by
other parties, and when he did get
time to search the records, he was
compelled to fasten on to 10000 acres
in the Summer Lake country. Mr..
Cam, the clerk, gave hun every as
sistance, but after a careful search he
concluded that Summer Lake was the
best left. Afterwards he had discov.
cred that Summer Lake could not be
drained, and he wanted to exchange
his whole ''grab" for eighty OF
John i. Miller's STAT take" in the
Klamath Lake country. John +.
didn't see it, and now the sapient
Judge publicly offered to assign his
filings to any person then present, fol-
the low sum of $40. The speaker
paused a moment, then fell to SIS,
Receiving no bids, he passed on to
the Locks bill. Poor man! What a
pity his time was SO occupied with
judicial duties that he couldn't get a
more valuable tract to file On.

THE 0


From several gentlemen who re-
turned from Brownsville Wednesday
evening, and had listened to the can
vassers ut Halsey, Harrisburg and
Brownsville, we learn that the can
vass is progressing finely. A. c.
Jones, at the solicitation of friends,
in consequence of the inability of
Hon. ". II. Cranor to make the can
vass on account of i'll health, and
Hon. T. J. Sites, are conducting the
canvass Oh the part of the Democ-
racy, while the opposition is repre-
sented by Messrs. George and Ellis.
No vituperatIve villiications Or per-
sonalities are INDUCED in, but the de-
bates are characterized by gentle
manly courtesy and dignifed argu-
ment. Thus far every argument adj
vanced by the Radical speakers has
been successfully combatted and an
initiated by the champions OF De-
mocracy, and the utmost harmony
and satisfaction exists in our ranks.
The enthusiasm with which our
speakers are everywhere greeted tells
more loudly than words that the
great mass of our people are resolved
that Old Linn shall roll up for the
noble cause an increased majority
Mr.. Jones is devoting himself assidu-
ously TO the work, and, though not a
candidate nor an aspirant, is max
ing a strong fight for the ticket, and
doing excellent service. He argues
logically, upon every occasion under
mining the studied rhetoric of Mr..
George and tearing away the founda-
ton of every argument he advances.
The people Of Linn may we'll be
proud OF this canvass, and Of the
ticket in the field. It's success is be-
yond the possibility Of a doubt. One
thing, however, perhaps undeserving
of notice ut our hands, we wish to call
attention to in q brief word. There
arc u few-very few-irresponsible
characters sneaking about the coun-
ty, stealthily following in the wake
c. the canvassers, ~endeavoring with
their villainous tongues and venom
Gus falsehoods to beslime and belittle
the name OF man on our ticket
whose Of right and moral and
political character are as far above
theDi las heaven is above hell" To
those We will not stoop to speak, but
We wish b, say to the people ut large
that the responsible. upright, reliable,
honorable men of the county, every
where, are rising up and denying the
falsities which have been heaped up
on Judge Tandy. These sneakers
deserve. therefore, TO be spurned by
every honest, right-minded voter
Pronounce their %cowardly assertions
false, and listen to the verdict OF the
more respectable portion of the COM
munity IN regard to this matter. -
Let Democrats stand by the nomi-
nees Of n fair cor yention, and allow
no base falsehoods, sprung on the
eve OF election by subsidized pol
t%roons, To deter them from doing
their duty at the polls next Monday.

MISUNDERSTANDING our residence
in this State we have heard much
complaint concerning the o. S. N.
Co.'s monopoly of the Columbia
river. Now compare notes with Ben
Holidays railroad: Freight on
wheat and -four from Wallula to
observation-disclosures, $40 miles-with
two portages equal to four hand
lings), is Sc y ton, or 80 cents u 100
lbs. The o. & G. r. r.. Co. freight
tariff on wheat and flour from Eu-
gene City to Observation-Disclosures, 123
miles-without rehandling between
points, is 81 u ton, or 35 cents % 100
lbs. The railroad charges are more
than double those of the o. & G.. r.
r. for the same distance.

FALsE.-The Dallas Republican says
it learns by private letter that the
Democratic candidate for Prosecut-
ing Attorney of this District had
been in this city substituting the va
rious saloons. Now we don't believe
the Republican learned any such a
thing. But if it did, all we have to
say is that it has been most eyre
giously imposed upon. The intended
accusation is made out of whole
cloth, containing not one word of
truth. Democrats will be prepared
to explode these Republican lies
sprung on the eve of election.
