4 WORD no THE CANDIDATES..


1t seems to he the spirit of certain
papers in other quarters of this coun-
ty to ssboom'i particular gentlemen fol
the county offices. The INTELLIGEN-
GER has been a democratic paper fol
nearly thirty years and it will be demo
cratic In this campaign. 1t expects to
treat every worthy democratic candi-
date with democratic courtesy, but II
will not boom any particular one OF
them for any office. It will treat them
all fairly and impartially, giving to no
one a special mention that will not be
given 10 all. 1t however proposes to
stand as one of the guards over demo-
cratic interests and it can be depended
upon to keep an eye over the field and
expose any action of any candidate
that is either undemoc :atic DR. unfair.
This paper will fight every undemo-
cratic issue that is brought into the
county campaign OF all the eandi-
dates announced there is not n that
the I-NTELLIGENcER could not Loyalty
support if he were nominated. How
ever, it does not expect to either
directly or indirectly assist in making
nominations. As far As the county
democratic candidates are concerned
the INTELLIGENCER will be found be-
tween now and the primary strictly in
the middle OF the road. After the
primary it viii be for the ticket red hot
500 IS usual will have nothing to take
hLzZ or apologize for.

Maiah VIM. Wahnah has evidently
fallen from grace in the sight of the
president. From the rose colored
hope entertained at first by the Major OF
a berth in the cabinet he has decended
by a hasty fall to backing a personal
friend for a post office and seeing him
get left. Place not your trust in prin-
ces, Major, nor yet in republican
promises. Verify, the ground on which
You trod was slippery and you seem 10

A It SHOOTING.
Philip Dotts Shot Thomas Boyles
through the Abdomen. BOyles
will Die.

The little town of Alma was thrown
into a a fever of excitement Thursday
afternoon by a terrible shooting which
occurred on the streets of that city as
the result of which Thomas Boyle now
lies at the door of death and Philip DOTS
the man who fired the shot is lock-
ed up in the county jail. The trouble
was the outgrowth of an old grudge be-
tween the two parties, they having now
been heard at Waverly today. The
shooting and the circumstances sur
rounding it, as nea as we were Bile to
learn them, occurred as follows. Boyle
accompanied by his son, Michael, went
to Alma Tuesday evening. They met
Philip DOTS in John Hills saloon, but
neither spoke. Boyle and his ION went
up the street and sat down on some steps.
A short while afterwards Dots came
out of the saloon and walked up he
street toward the place where the BoyleS
were sitting. Old man Boyle got up
and started down the street and met
Dotts coming up. Boyle carried a walk
ing stick in his hand; as he met DOTS
he stopped and cursed him. DOTS grab
bed BOYLE around the neck with his left
arm and with his right hand discharged
his pistol into the body of. Mr.: Boyle
the ball striking him a little below the
stomach. The w men wrestied a 1e%
moments before the spectators could
separate them. The pistol was at once
taken from Dots and he gave himself
up to the Constable who brought him
here and lodged him in Jail. There will
be no preliminary hearing of the case
and IL win 10 before the grand jury.
MIR. Boyle was at once taken to the office
of DIR. Horner where he lies in a serious
condition no hopes being expressed by
the physician for his recovery.

SENATOR'S IN CAUCUS.
Republicans Discuss the Situation of
Their Party in the Senate.

Washington. March 6.-The republican,
senators remained in caucus an hour anu
a quarter today discussing the SITUATION
of the parties in the senate. The only
conclusion reached was the direction OF
the appointment of committee to con-
fer with the other parties in the senate
relating to vacancies on the senate com
mittces. Senator Allison was made chair
man of the advisory committee, with pow
or to name other members.
1t was evident to the republican sena-
tors that they did not have majority
to organize the senate as the senate now
stood, and there was no one present TO
assure the caucus of votes even from the
silver republicans or any other senators:
Senator Allison was made chairman OF
the caucus. and Senator Wilson was re-
elected secretary.
Senator Cullom moved that the usual
committee on committee appointments be
named, but after conference his motion
was modified to make it committee to
confer with the other parties as to what
action they intended taking in the mat
ter of recognizing, and report to the eau
Gus. The motion as modified was agreed
to. There were numerous short speeches
bv various senators. Senators Hale. Hoar.
Chandler. Pritchard. Carter, Proctor, and
Davis being among the speakers. the
general drift of the sentiment was against
any efforts to fill the vacancies by the
immediate appointment of republicans.
Senator Proctor suggested that a republic
can majority could be secured by post
poning the filling of the committees.
Senator Proctor stated that in all prob
ability the governor of Oregon would ap-
point senator from that state.
Senators Davis Morrill, and Hoar called
attention to the necessities of senators
filling the committees over which they
presided. viz. foreign relations. finance,
and judiciary.
Senator Chandler stated it to be his
belief that there would he no serious OBJ
lection from any source to the republic
cans passing Il tariff bill.
Senator Plat of New York was the
only new republican senator not present,
but none of them offered any suggestions.
The caucus adjourned to meet Monday,
when Senator Allison will announce his
| committee.
