OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.
Poi.K Cop.xTV, Or., May l, lsiw.
KntTiiH Wixf 8iik: Mr. Waah,

j he U not running a Hlitieal paper, aud
no m,ut(m In hi eorreapondoiioej
illlt t,0 4iie of lib paia-r he
tukeit iiirticulr pains to euloglM IVu
noyer, and lub that he know of
! twenty republican that will vote for
him, All of this he lias a uerfect right
to do, but be should arku iwle le to
he editing a deunwi'atie sheet.
Now there may I tweuly republl.
cans lit this county that will support
the present lueuutlwut for governor,
but I have uot beanl of one, and run
hardly Isjllevc that there are any, and
polllvely can see no res in why they
should upsrt him. There may lie a
few republican voteM whosuy they are
lnilesuileut, who will scratch Thomp
son, but they are far from being
ludvisuident, Us-ause they Vote to suit
some democratic friends rather than
vote their moitiuieut.
The deuioerat aru uiaklug hcnnillau
efforts to re-elect ( lov, IVu noyer. They
siiy he Is a good man. Mo Is TbomSMin,
All they ny against Thniupsou is that
he is a rleh man. Mo is Pen noyer a rich
man, and is In everything that gis's to
muke a gsd governor, Inferior to
Thompson. Therefore republican of
Polk county aud of Oregon ls Uot de
ceived. IM Oregon niks'in herself this
year by electliiga republican governor.
Ity your votes four yearn ago you de
feated Col. Cornelius, a gssl rrpuMl
mil, a farmer and a gissl honed capable
man, Mr. Thouiiou is Just as gissl a
man for governor of Oregon us there is
In the stale,
Pcnnoyer a gissl governor? What
has he done? He bsik sides with aud
upheld the Chinese rioters in their un
lawful und criminal pnK'ccdlng four
years ago, and (or that reason the scum
of Portland tos by him. He vctd
the Portland water bill, which should
have passed, and by doing so deprived
Portland of gissl water, und srhaps
caused hundreds of deaths lu that city
during the four years of Ills rclgti.
The democrats will support him to
a man, They w ill vote for no repub
lican on the ticket, which Is H-rfcctly
right und whut we expect of them.
Hut why cannot we as a party stick to
and siiisirt ow nominees, and not be
led us prey by democratic hulilerdash.
Here's three cheer for titiv, Thomp
son, Okanukk.
COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
Lt CKlAMUTK, May 18, 181X1.
Kmroli Wixr Midk: Dallus wants
a one hundred thousand dollar court
house. No one doubts that, but we
doubt If the (Miiplu aru ready to vote
such a tax on themselves Just to please
Dallas. A mail said the other day
Simpson was a gissl man but be would
vote for Mcllee. When asked why, he
said, "Oh, cause." Much u splendid
reason he gave. Mcllee voters are
like hens teeth here.
I will give some reasons why we In
this precinct can't vote for MeHee!
He gave IUiIhj Hlmpson and Win
Hcrren IMO for repairing a little bridge
on one branch of the Peedco, which
they put buck In two days, It had
moved about forty feet. Ten dollars
would have been a big price. He gave
the Hyeiiy boys if'M for a little work on
the Tartar bridge, worth about$4 or $5.
Mcllee tillered N, Tartar 810 for about
an hours work ou the Turner bridge.
He would have given him (10 and
more, If he wanted It, whut anyone
could do In an hour. Did he think to
Inlluunco voters or did he know no
butter',' '
There is one mun lu Dallas who say
they don't need a court house only the
calaboose enlarged. I think he meant
the asylum.
Mcllee Is a wonderful man, wonder
ful ou the account of his greatness und
great on account of his wonderful ucss.
Stone's bid was less by two hundred
dollars than his Dallas mun, his pet,
ou the Himpson brldgo. Yet ho tried
to swindle him out of the contract so a
to let his favorite have It Ask Btone
or Chut Cond about It, Wonderful
mun McBcc!
Dallas says tills Is no political flglit
Then we will vote for Himpson.
On accouut of the flow) aud ten
price being paid for rebuilding bridge
we wdl vote mrHlitipaoii.
Tilt oouuty being In debt wt will
vote rlliniwoti,
Ut Mellee the U. B. treanury and
In t little while there would be no
grumbling alanit the aurplua. Wonder
ful man!
All the work up here ou the waahed
