We cannot make extended reference
to this ticket this issue. 1t is very Pc
culiarly devised. it is sui ge1eiis, it is,
in fact, Barnum's WHAT'S it" ticket.
J. H. Shnpe and John Emmett for SEN
ators. The former is a pretty fellow
aud therein lies the depth of his states
manship. The latter is a good old
farmer, over whose innocent eyes any
kind of wool could be drawn These
gentlemen live within few miles of
each other and no doubt will work for
the interest of their i'm mediate vicinity.
The representative tickstis composed
Of Messrs Wilcox Of Gardiner, Rogers
of Drain, Riddle of Riddle and Man
ming of Canyonville. The two former
represent the interest Of the northern
portion of the county and the two lat
ter the southern portion. What does
the ignoring of the central portion
meanl The division of the county,
who knewsl Kinball's nomination
was expected, whilst that Of Gus Tay-
lor was complete surprise-fact ap-
pears that Gardiner, Oakland, Canyon
vile and suburbs can show the Rose
burg Republicans trick they never
saw before. They ara mighty cute.
Taylor was long a railroad agent and
was emboldened bv the unparalleled
success of the present incu .nbent to as
pire to position he will never reach
One dose of that kind is enough fer the
people, besides he is now cumming fed
eral pap.
We are sorry fer Will Parrott. He
is splendid boy. He will net be
elected and should he be he would be
compelled to neglect good business,
to his material injury. Of the minor
candidates We will make no omention at
this time. Upon proper occasion we
propose to give them all the attention
they may desire. As we have stated
above, the major of tde ticket is a real
gem Of curiosity. The Republicans
can worship it without violating the
commandment; for there is nothing
likeit upon earth, or in the waters be-
meath, or in the heavens above, but
very well; the people will defeat it all
the same.
At the conclusion Of the noninatioa of the
State delegates resolution was unanimously
adopted instructing the delegates to use
their influence to secure the nomination Of
Hen. Bingsr Hermann as candidate for
