is impossible. His defeat is conceded by
even his armest supporters.
Our Alsea correspondent writes that "the
feeling in the Alsea valley is almost unan-

the GAZETTE take the stand 1t has in the
senatorial contest, and glad to learn that
there is yet possibility to defeat Doiph.

Senator Mitchell has introduced and had
reported to the senate from the committee
on claims, bill appropriating $1,000 for the

similar bill appropriating the same sum for
Peter Grant Stewart passed the senate a
few days ago.
1t may be of interest to the ''great uu-
washed" to know that Punderson Avery has
gone to the capital. Hearing that Dolph
had large barrel, he conceived the idea
that something might be made by buying
and selling democratic votes to Dolph.
Look out, democrats. Pun is shrewd
dealer and is sure to make large profit if
he deals with you.
Arrangements are being made for far.
