Chas. Nickel in Jacksonville Times:
Ed HIrscb, eX-state treasurer, is said
to be in line for the Salem postmaster
ship. He is deserving Of recognition,

The Marion county taxes are being |
paid over, by order Of the county
court, to the state treasurer. 1t is

nee for senator, and six of his associ-
ates have been indicted for bribery, |
is another plea for the election of |
United States senators by the direct

The action of the state central COM
mittee threw bomb into Pennoyer, |
Jonathan Bourne, J. H. Mitchell and |
other politicians in the state, who |
thought their work was so smooth |
when the opportune time came they |
would swallow the entire Populistl

Eugene State Journal: The Salem
Independent gets off the following on
the editor of the Salem JOURNAL:

Roseburg Review: Governor Lord
has furnished an Oregcnian reporter
with two columns of his reasons why
Corbett should be given a seat in the
national senate. The governor has a !

money. Till then the case is hope
less.-Lebanon Advance.
