Roseburg review. [volume] (Roseburg, Or.) 1885-1920, 1886-06-04

Wealth employs the best talent and
wise people desire the wisest men for
judges. By every argument presented
Strahan should be elected. OF Sylves-
ter Pennoyer we have heretofore
spoken much. The Oregonian endeav-
ored to smirch his good name because
of his love of the free white laborers
and his antagonism to the employment
of servile Chinese. His connection
with the late meeting of the citizens of
Portland has provoked criticism from
Republican journals. His conduct
there was in harmony with his life
he was there in the cause of justice,
peace and order So will he be as
Governor Honestly, what man is
there in Oregon that can say that he
can vote with any degree Of pleasure
against Pennoyer? r. T. Gibbons, our
candidate for Secretary of State, was
in Roseburg this week He met quite
number of our citizens, and the good
| impression he made charmed us. We
predict for him an unusual majority
in this precinct. No worthier man
can become custodian of the Great Seal
of Oregon. OF G. W. Webb we can
not speak personally, but if what Re
publican and Democratic papers say
| of him be true, he is rarely gooc
man. If elected Treasurer the ole
regime will be gone, we hope, forever
and the people can count their owr
money at any time they may desire
Charley Nickel we know we'll. He il
the liveliest, go-ahead, untiring worker
We ever saw. He excels in eyerythln!
he undertakes, and, therefore, is goot
Democrat and will make good Stat
Printer. Mr.. Napoleon Davis is
gentleman Of unblemished character
possesses high scholarly attainments
and is admirably qualified for Super
intendent of Public instruction. Hon
John Burnett has once been our Gin
cult Judge and his record speaks vo
umes for him. He is in deep sympa
thy with the people and is ever in cor
sonance with justice. James Hamll
ton is of US. We measure his wal
every day. He is honorable in ever
regard and just-prosecuting non
) from prejudice and leaving none III
punished from favor.
Our county ticket is admirabl
throughout. Waite, Metz, Arriugto
and Mckenzie are honest temporal
and clear-headea. Their legislatio
; will be in favor of economy and II
I form. Elsewhere we have referred t
: Mr.. Agee. He is large-hearted, gel
erous man-who cheerfully extend
| charity-manages large business SUI
cesstully, and is an old and permaner
! resident and is limo respect strange
I Of T. r. Sheridan it is really unnece
sary to make extended reference. Ther
is neither Republican nor Democrs
> nor even Prohibitionist that can spea
: aught but good of him. The Drai
: Echo, Of last week, saw fit to make a
{ insiduous = unjust argument again'
4 Mr.. Sheridan that deserves passiu
J remark. 1t says Mr. Sheridan dot
not need the Office. We advise I'll
i Echo-of Mr.. TayIor-that it is tt
, people that "need" that Mr.. Sherida
should have the Office of County Clerl
Il They know what he has done and the
want his services again. He simpl
heeds their request True, he hi
u been prudent business man, but
' has worked for his living; he is a
artisan, mechanic, and hard workin
: broad hearted, honest man. David
West has spent his life III honest i
u dustry. He has passed his spare m
e ments in study and has admiral
z fitted himself for the office he so we
, fills and will continue to hold. I
u does not use pomade, part his hair
70 the middle or dance to the '1lascivio
u music of the Lutte. Judge Fitzhugf
u record entities him to reelection wit
81 out word. The arduous. complicat'
y duties of his office have been honest
II and justly performed. We are ju
7S advised that at present extraoldina
II efforts are being made to secure
IS defeat. Cunning politicians are goil
IN in every direction-to Gardiner, Drai
'e Cow Creek, east west and otherwise
le put up jobs against him. But poll
u cal trickery has lost its power. 7
people read, think and vote as tn
Of please. Lamb and Hall should
ne elected Commissioners. Hall h
been tried and proven. Lamb is hie
