We must really request our friends
who are delivering us new potatoes in
payment of their deliQuent subscriptions
to select smaller varieties il possible.
They forget the only kettle that we
have to cook them in is the same old tin
dipper. suspended gypsy fashion to a
tripod on the tide fiat under our compos-
ing-rOom. 1t will not hold anything
over nine inches in diameter, and this
season these Willapa Valley potatoes 50
far delivered are seldom under ten
inches. This matter has caused uS con-
siderable anxiety. We don't want to
refuse the potatoes just on the ragged
edge of u hard winter, but We do want
some discrimination as to size, as we
have no method of preparing the giant
varieties

4 TICKET IN 1892
Nominated by an Enthusiastic Democrat
\ Combination That Would Win.

\ Combination That Would Win.
To ne Editor OF ne Register:
SIR: After the good work you have done
for the success of the Democracy, and
In defence OF the peoples rights, and
the advocacy of the best men for Offices
of public trust, think you should have
the great honor of mentioning first in
your paper the winning ticket for 90.
This is my nominating speech to your
readers. We want young blood, men
of recognized purity, honesty, ability,
great learning and culture, against
whom no breath of suspicion has ever
been brcathed. in whom the people at
first blush will feel perfect
confidence in. who have never dealt
in practical politics of the modern
school, but rather want to follow the
example of the great men who ruled
this country before they were born,
though the voice OF the people, eX-
pressed by their ballot, unaided by the
communicating influences of money,
men against whom there are no fac
tional fights in their State, but who
would command the unanimous support
of tn party in their respective States,
and the respect of the people of the
whole country. | name:
For President,
MN. l.. RUSSELL.
of Massachusetts,.
For Vice President
wv. l.. WILSON.
OF " l>t Virginia
This ticket would be invincible. New
York aud Indiana would be stronger
with il than TO take from among their
factions the candidates whose ability
no one questions, and whose honesty no
one can dispute, while it would hold the
New England States we have just ear
ried aud give entire satisfaction to the
South and great West.
Give us, therefore, Russell and VIII
son, and the battle is won the day Of
their nomination. OLD TIMER.
