The Third Party.
DEMOCRATIC GULcH, March IA, 1890.

DEMOCRATIC GULcH, March IA, 1890.
Editor Observation-Disclosures:
am for a third party, openly and above
board for it, and not ashamed to say so. ]
am for turning the rascals out, and getting
in-myself. For 40 years I have voted the
Democratic ticket, have fought for the
Democratic party, lied for the Democratic
party, stuffed ballot boxes for the Demo.
cratic party, drank whisky for the Demo
cratic party, and am ready to do so again
especially the whisky-butit'sn no use. The
Republicans have got the cinch on US, and
unless some desperate effort Is made they'll
keep it there. Hence, I am tor a third
party. Not that wish the third party to
succeed themselves. Not by any means.
That's not my layout. Who but born
fool would dream of success, with such a
heterogeneous conglomerate, as disgruntled
politicians of all sorts, single-tax fends,
women-suffrage cranks, prohibition implac-
ables, Bellamyite vIsionaries. and anti-class-
legislatlonists, formerly designated free
traders. Sach elements do not possess the
cohesive force necessary to success. It can
not. therefore, hurt the grand old Demo.
cratic party, for while will cry the loudest
for the third party during the coming cam
paign, when election day comes intend to
vote the old ticket, as I take my whisky
straight.
John Jasper.a Virglnian colored preacher,
once had dream. In relating it he said,
81 dreamed I went to heaven and knocked
at de door. and st. Peter said, who's dsr?
Says I. John Jasper Says he, is you
mounted.' Says /, NO. Den he lows Yer
can't come in here les ye're mounted I
walked along back and presently met Gen.
Malone a-walkiu' up de hill. I say, Gen
eral, where you gwineg 'Gwine up to
heaven Says I, You can't get in dar les
yer mounted; jes' tried He scratched
his head minute, den he says, John. i
jes' thought how we can both get in. You
get down on all fours and I'll ride yer right
IN. So got down and the general a-strad
died me and up we went. 1 felt SO good l
fyarly cantered. We got dar and the gen.
eral he raped. Says ST. Peter, from de in
side, Who's dar.' Says the general, will
liam Mahone' Says st. Peter, is yer
mounted.' General he says, Eyes" We'll,
lows st. Peter, tie yer horse to de fence
and come in.'" That's the way with the
Democratic party in Oregon. They cannot
get into power unless they're mounted,
an6 the third party will make as good
sreed as any. but the steed itself will be
hitched outside. Hurrah for the third
party. ANDREW JACKSON.

GILLIAN COUNTY.
LOSS of Stock Farming 1tem-Grange
Meeting.
Fossil, March IA, 1890.

Editor TINES -MoUNTAISEER:
The loss of stock in this county is much
greater than any one supposed it was a
few weeks ago. The loss in sheep will
probably reach 40 or so per Cent, and the
loss of cattle on the range will be fully as
great, while the less OF horses will reach
10 or Is per cent.
The loss of sheep in the West Fork and
Deep Creek range is as follows: II. T.
Coolis 500 head, loss 200; Ed. Cummings
100 head, loss 500; Patterson s. Ready
100, loss SO; George Harvey's band
2lOO are all dead but or head, making
in all total loss Of $3.50 out of 1900.
The county seat question will be the
main issue in the coming campaign. and
Condor and Arlington are the two towns
(or places they should be calleD that are
candidates for that honor. There are
few in this end of the county that will
vote for Arlington with the expectation of
locating the county seat at Arlington, and
then dividing the county in such a way
that Fossil would win the county seat
honor without grunt or struggle. It
is believed here by some that Arlington
will try to buy votes in this end of the
county Ivy promising to assist us in dlvid-
ing the county. Every honest voter of
Gillian county should remember these
three words: Be not deceived.
The deputy sheriff of this county seems
to be doing about one-fourth of the assess
ing. 1t looks as though the assessor has
failed to do his duty.
The farmers are plowing. Crops will
be much later than usual, and should
there be no June rains spring crops will
be as short as they were last year.
1t is thought by some that, owing to the
drouth last summer and the severe winter,
there are in Morrow, Gillian and Sher-
man counties few families left destitute.
The Gillian County Grange Council
ard Grange Convention will meet at May
vile to day. The Grange convention is
not a political affair, as some seem to
think. 1t is held for the purpose IF elect
ing delega'es to attend the Oregon State
Grange to be held at Salem next June.
The Grangers of Gillian county will take
no part in politics any farther than to vote
tor the man and not The party. FL.

ERsKINEvILLE, March l3, 1890.
Editor TINES -MoUSTAINEER:
Please to allow a little space in your
most excellent paper to say that the ma
jority Of the voters of Oregon will not be
satisfied, and believe may say will not
even tolerate the mention of any person as
candidate for election to congress but Hon.
Binger Hermann, and he ought to receive
an unanimous nomination at the next Re-
publican convention. The Republican
party in Oregon just now does not have a
very enviable record. The people have not
forgotten how $40, 600 Of the peoples money
was frittered away by our last legislature,
and as for the Republican legislators in
Washington they have simply made asses
of themselves. Binger Herman is the
standard bearer around whom the party
must rally to win in the next June election,
and Hon. John Mimic for governor.

removed to some other point, and be con-
Quoted in the interests of Union. There
will probably be no issne of the paper this

the present time matter of uncertainty.

Snow is about all gone, but we are still
having cold nights and not oppressively
warm days. Farmers are getting somewhat
alarmed about grain freezing out, but we
don't think there, is any danger yet.
Roads are in bad condition between
here and the new bridge, almost impossible.
Sheep have wintered in this section with
out very great loss. C. C. Ragsdale has
lost about GO, out Of 100. ]. H. Fraser
lost only very few. A. Mcintosh & Son
have probably lost 80 per cent. of their
large band. Cattle that were driyen to
Jackknife after the first snow went off are
from all reports about half dead.
Marian Powell lost valuable saddle
horse last week. He was riding on the
breaks of the Desckutes when his horse

horse some 40 feet when he cleared the rock
and sayed his life.

second place for this reason: We do, we be-

Moro is contemplating building railroad
to The Dalles inthe near future. All we ask
is for The Dalles to furnish the money and
we will have railroad of our own. If The
Dalles does not take hold of this scheme
soon, we will see Mr.. Hunt and run a road
straight through to Portland, and will not
even whistle as we pass The Dalles. We
have daily stage through this place, but
it. is not able to do all the work, and they
are compelled to run an extra once or twice

Grass Valley. We think that looks like we
need railroad. DICK Roe.

The charge on wheat from Wslla Walla
