Vote for a Competent Man.

DIR. Ostrander will undoubtedly
be elected Representative. His fit-
ness for the Office is so marked,
when compared with the quali6ca-
tons of bis opponent, that every
body who has the good of the county
at heart will not hesitate to vote for
the doctor. Mr.. Talleutire is about
the last man who should have been
nominated for SO important trust.
Had he sound judgment and the tact
to keep his mouth shut except when
the roll was called, he might fill the
position "after a fashion," Lut he
has the narrowest conception of pub
lie duty, and all that zeal which
little knowledge usually begets.
Those who have listened to his
pointlesa, incoberent "speeches"
before the City Council, will not want
him as representative in any higher
body. Thomas is as disingenuous as
he is incompetent, and after having
been elected Councilman by the
temperance vote of the Third Ward,
as the advocate of high license, be
endeavored to curry favor with the
saloon interest by publishing a card
in the Daily Critic, announcing that
LIE Vas under no obligation to the
temperance people and claiming
that he was elected on individual,
merit alone Heaven save the markD
1t is not at all probable that the Pa.
triarch of the Young Mems Republi-
can Club will be elected, so it is not
necessary to refer, at this time, to
other salient points of character
which affect his personal fitness as q
law-maker.

COnkIing for Cleveland.


A New York dispatch of the 9th
says that Ex-senator Roscoe Conk-
ling has decided to come out openly
against Blaine and to the support of
Cleveland. The Cleveland and Hen
ricks Produce Exchange Club has
invited him to address mass-meet-
ing and he has decided to accept.
The arrangements for the meeting
are not completed but it will be the
greatest thing of the kind ever known
in New York city. Senator Conk-
linss friends say that he would have
spoken earlier, had be believed there
was any danger of Blaine's election.
He never has any doubts about
Blaine's defect. He was very much
dlsinclined to re-enter the political
field. and had determined not to do
so, but he now yields at the solicita-
tion Of his StaIwart mi ndl, who de-
size hius to take determined step
for an honest Government and LIE
and they unite in bolt against
Blaine. This action of Conkling's
was only needed to bring all the
Stalwart forces in line, and should
it accomplish the result the Stalwart
leaders anticipate from 40, 600 to So
900 Republicans of New York State,
will by the side of the Independents
go to the polls on election day
and vote straight for Cleveland and
Hendricks.

Judge Ready followed in a few
sensible remarks. He is in the
wrong ship and like Jonah will be
thrown overheard. Whether prov
idcntial whale will lie ready to swal-
low him or not remains to be seen.
Tommy Tollentire followed in &
few remarks, which, brief as they
were, amply demonstrated his unfit.
ness for legislator.
There were tifty-six persons at the
meeting by actual count. At least
forty went from town and n number
were boys, thus reducing the grand
rally of tie neiybborhood to about a
dozen persons. Tnis shows the drift
OF public sentiment. The people
will have none of it.

They Bob up Serenely."

The programme arranged by the
clique this year contemplated a Sc
cret manipulation of the wires
throughout the canvass. 1t was
planned to keep MIR. Owings and his
confreres out of the primaries and
conventions and to manage party
movements by TRUSTEES" selected
for their known fidelity to the Office
holders clique. The schome was
carried into successful execution,
bat alas! it did not meet with the
usual enforced enthusiasm for the
want OF stalwart lungs to " Whoop
'er up" It fell still-born. At the
meeting Saturday night the Blaine
Club members stood around the hall +,
with heads showed into their shout
ders, like chickens in a storm, for
the PEOPLE did not come at their
call. Then Fuoleman Bagley re-
solved that Something must bs
done" and divers brains began re-
volving the perplexing problem.
They resolved to hire the hall; no
sooner said than done. They would
likewise hire the band; but failed
when it came to terms. They would
make stump speeches; but none of
their candidates could toot the ba-
zoo. What could they do? Per-
picking question
After much tribulation, it was
finally decided, from sheer necessity,
to trot out the same clique to make
the speeches. So at Thursday
nights meeting we saw the same old
ornaments "Bob up Serenely" on
the stage of action. Mr.. Owings re-
opened the bloody chasm; Mr..
Convey shook the encrimsoned shirt,
and Mr.. Cavanaugh very profanely,
if not forcib'y. stated the objects
sought in the present contest to
maintain stalls at the public crib, now
and when the offices are increased
by admission into the Union.
The people now see that what we
told them was true. The same old
time Ring dictation is apparent.
The same Bosses show their hands
when they seize the sinking boat to
keep it from the breakers.

VoTE for Stephen L. Ruddell, if
you want fair assessment and low

of The Office shows that he possesses
good judgment. In this respect
nothing is known of his opponent,
and he is just as likely to be incom-

the most important Office within the

W0men's Qualifications.

One of the Inspectors of election
having sent US an "Opcn Letter.,
addressed to the Judges of the sew
eral Judicial Districts, regarding the
qualifications to be possessed by
certain persons for an exercise of the
election franchise, the writer, in view
of the short time which elapses be-
fore election, submitted the queries
therein to Judge Hoyt, who author
ICES US to make the following aus
wers:
list. II an American citizen marries q
foreign born woman. does that so far nat
uralize her as to entitle her to vote?
Yes; beyond question.
End. If an alien citizen marrics an
american born woman. does that disfran.
chise her?
No; beyond question.
3rd. Ifan American woman marries q
foreign born man does that enfranchise
him?
No.
4th. fla foreign born woman has to file
her Intentions to become citizen in order
to acquire land under homestead and tim.
Der act, Is not the same required of her TO
ent tie her to vote?
A foreign born femme sole (single
woman) must be naturalized before
she can vote and only that class can
enter land.
IT is said that the only hotel at
Kalama is about to be closed, soon
as the passenger trains run regular
ly through from Portland to Taco
ma. This will seal the fate of that
town, which has been in feeble
health from infancy and never gave
promise Of much vitality.
The nomination Of w. E. Ander-
son for Adiutant General on the
Democratic ticket, is a recognition
not only of personal worth, but of
gallant service for the Star Spangled
Banner. He entered the navy in
May, 1861, as midshipman, on the
U. S. war steamer Penguin, and
served with valor two years and one
month, when he was compelled to
retire by ill-health. During his ser.
vice, he participated in engagements
at Port Royal, Mosquito Inlet, Fer
nandina, Edisto, and other points
where decisive work was done to
cripple the rebel forces. A large
portion of the time he had charge of
a launch, manned by Is men with a
howiizer, and destroyed several rebel
transports and took many prisoners.
He carries scars to-day of the dire
conflict, and will receive the support
of all who stood by the gallant de-
tenders of the old flag.

T. I. EATON. M. D,

This celebrated Oculist and Opthopod-
ic Surgeon, of Indianapolis, was in the
city the fore part of the week. During
his stay he effected some remarkable
cures and performed several very
delicate and successful surgical
operations. Miss Alma Links had
an operation, and her left eye, which
had been crossed from infancy, was
Strengthened in a minute, with but
little pain. Charley krneger's little
girl, one of whose eyes was badly
crossed, was also made straight, as al
so, one of Bertha Rothis. Ali the cases
are doing well, and should the doctor
ever again visit our city, he will find
plenty who will require his services.
