She gkuwtat. THE FATAL THIRTEEN REASONS. There are tome solid reasons why D P Thompson should not be elected governor and, singularly enough,' they number the figure of thirteen s i. lie It Interested In the Willamette Locks Company, which will try to sell the lock at Oregon City at the next session of the legislature to the state at an enormous figure. Thompson will thus make up for the "sack" he Intends to sink In the present campaign. As Invincible evidence of the above scheme, It Is only necessary to scan the facts that several parties fnteretled In the Electric Light Works at Oiegon City rNamclv. Morrv. Eattham, Crow and others,) are now candidates for the legist . ture, and that the Electric Light Company spent about $15,000 In carrying the pri maries at Portland tor Thompon. It U stated by good authority that they have contributed the further sum oi fiu,ooo for a campaign fund. a. Thompson has boasted that he will spend $100,000 to sveure his election a .id thwart the will of the people. 3. He favors Chinese as his record shows; two months ago he opposed, em phatically, a dlscuslon ol the question of removing the Chinese from Second street, one of the best streets In the city of Port land, which I now practical); ruined by the filth of the Chinese and Is a menace to the lives of herdtlscnt by the frequent brawls of the highbinders. Also when In the legislature he voted against the metn rial to congress for the abrogation of the Ourtingame treaty. 4. Thompson, while receiver at Weld ler's Mill reduced the wages of the em ployes on an average of thirty cents a day,' and at the same time asked $30,000 for his wn services as receiver, as the recordsof the supreme court show. 5. He rated tor the bill exempting wa ter bonds from taxation "six times.' These bonds, If exempted from taxation, would allow Thompson and his kind ef fectually to escape all taxation; on Oie other hand.lf not exempt, they will be sold utside of the statu, and will therefore bring so much extra capital Into the state. 6. He owns seventeen banks and cinches the borrowers In a two per cent per month style; furthermore If elected he would atu9 his seventeen banks with the funds of the state treasury, and make the people pay him interest on their own money. 7. Thompson while mayor of Portland hadn ordinancepassed extendlngtne wharf limits In front of his own property out! nto the river, thereby Increasing the value to the e xtent of $100,000 without pay in g the city one cent of compensation. (This is an example of how he regards a public trust.) S. He Is one of the richest men In the state of Oregon, yet he only gave $10 to the Johnstown sufferers, and he has never contributed a cent towards helping any enterprise for the Interest of the state. 9. He laid the foundation for his present Immense fortune by his surveying con tracts, which he was wont to fulfill at the rate of some.twenty miles a day on horse back, as some of the surveyors of this state have repeatedly stated. 10. He promised to raise the monev to relieve the Holladsy, estate, at Portland, form bonus of $jo,ooo and then received from the Bennet-Larabee syndicate $Jo, 000 In order to allow them to obtain the property ac about one fifth of its real value. 11. He shjws his ability and dignity o character to properly fill the exalted posi tion of governor by his speech accepting the nomination when he said "I'll get there, and don't you forget It." 1 a. He is owner of the electric system that trow furnishes light for the state, and at the last session of the legislature he tried to sell the system to the state at three times its actual value. 13. Thompson, while one of th wealth iest men in tne state, is on of the most artful dodgers of taxes, A lit of his real and personal property In Multnomah county at a low valuation foots $1,159,200 which was assessed In 1SS9 at $171,000 and this was reduced by $34,000 indebtedness claimed by Thompson and $300 exemption, leaving the total of taxable property re turned by him $136,000 as against an act ualvalu" of $1,159,300. This Is the man that ask the tax-burdened farmers and the oppressed laborers for their rotes, a man whose creed Is greed, whok god Is stoop shouldered Mammon, whose con science is mummified with years of disuse, and whose heart is as devoid of humanity as a bull frog Is of feathers. ONE Of HISTKICKS. The Portland Examiner, in speaking of Da$e Th$mpt$n's schemes of dodging his taxes relates the following: All old settlers remember the incident. He resided in Oregon City then. He had a wallet full of bonds and taxable paper. The time for the assessor's annual visit came around, A great hue and c-y was made that Thorn p son's home had been burglarized and t'..ew papers had been stolen. The assessor came and poor Thompson had do bonds to tax. Not knowing the address cf the "burglar, the assessor took no cognizance of these col la t erals. He performed his duty and went his way. anu, singular ana unureceaentea as 11 may ap pear to the readers of Ibis psper, in a few days the "burglar repented ol his sin, sad one dark, gloomy evening, after the tobins had ceased to sing and the charming no'es of the whipporwill rang out upon the iir, the pos les sor of the stolen treasures slipped up slyly to Thompson's home and tossed the package in through so open window, and there was great rejoicing In the house of David. But tin bonds and the notes and the mortg ages escaped taxation that year, thanks to the unconscionable and wicked "burglar. As slated, all old settlers remember this oc currence, and Ihese lines are written simply to direct the attention of later day citizens to one of the most remarkable incidents in the history of the West.

CIVKSIIWUKASONS. The editor of the Woodburn Independent Independent In policy as In name, gives his reasons for supporting Pcnnoyer as follows t . . - We shall support Sylvester Pcnnoyer tor governor in true accord with our prin ciple of "best man for the omce,lrrespccttve of politics." Governor Pcnnoyer has, during his administration, mode some mistakes, but no man Is Infallible. If he has erred In some things, it has been an error of the head, not of the heart; and as he has erred in some things, he has been pre-eminently right In others. He has stood for the tight of the producing classes while his opponent was unjustly laboring for the passage of a bill that wks both un lust and unconstitutional. In doing this he has borne the bitter dcnunclutiousot 1 partisan press and consulted the best lit' te rest of the people Instead of his own. With all that has been agulntt him, he has never been acccused ofadUhoncsty, and we believe that his administration has been the puet and bent that we have hd In a d jcadc and a half. I its administration has been passed under many dilVtculttcs that never beset his predecessors, lie assumed the reins of government from the hands of Moody, a man whose connection with the swamp land steals and the unappropriated school fund v. Ill forever Marr.p him as a man beyond the bound of integrity or else a common tool, unable In his Ignorance to know rluht from wronirand without the manhood to stop both republican anil democrats from stealing the swamr lands. Niither the legislature nor all the executive branches of the state have been In political accord with the governor and to a reasonable man there cm be no won der that Governor Prnnoycr has been the recipient of much commendation. On the other hand, we tmd but one reatoii for sunnortlnir Mr. Thompson. In fact the only reason o lie red Is that Mr, Thompson at some remote time worked at the blacksmith trade and also packed a surveyor s chain: that he has been wUe and amassed much wealth, and, It ncce sary, will payout $10,000 to secure hi election. To offset these remarkable virtues we have the record ot his action on the well known "Lock and dam swindle," his stand on the Bull Run water scheme and the fact that he Is the figure head ot the successful wing ot the repub lican ring, which triumphed over Simon by the liberal use ot money. That this money was furnished by Thompson, no one can deny ; that the fight made in Port land was a disgrace to the paity and Its result a travesty on every principle of po litical purity, all adii.lt. Therefore, how can we do otherwise than support Pcrnoj er? HE ItKSKItVKS IT. G. W. Webb is a candltate on the demo cratic ticket for re-election to the oflise ot state treasurer. He Is a piortecr ; an old resident of Eastern Oregon, and a citizen ot Umatilla county, where he has many friends and admirers. "Uncle George," as he is known the country over, 1 as faith ful in office as he Is out of it, and has ad ministered state treasury affairs w Uh the same devotion topub'ic duly that he dis played when he was treasurer of Umatilla county. He Is as big and honest In small things as in large affairs. It has been suggested by some ot his friends in this county that he deserves a complimentary vote at their hands and a number of republicans have signified their willingness to add their voice and strength to show their appreciation of a good citizen and an efficient public servant. It is hoped that his frlffud all over the country will lend their efforts In the same directlon.and if his majority In the county reaches 1000 It will not be a vote more than he deserves. The citizens of Umatilla county, regard less of party, should feel that they were showing oaly a patriotic fueling in voting for a citizen of their county when he is, at least, the equal of his opponent. -East Ortgouian. ATTE.MIO.N IlEHOCKAT't. Brtow.Nsvit.LB, Oa , May i7,iSv. Editor Democrat : I wish to call the attention of democrats lb the importance that attaches to the office of county comm'ssioner. The mot essential thing is lo secure a commissioner who Is careful and ever watchful of the interests of the whole people. These qual locations, Mr Rumbaugh, our candidate, has In an eminent degree. There is an other natter that is of much imparlance to democrats of the county, and that is the political character of the office. Suppose Mr Trask, the rcoubllcan nominee, should be elected; then the county court would be republican, and it would be run exclu sively In the interest of that parly so far as all m liters affecting party matters are con cerned. Judges and clerks of election' road supervisors, would be appointed with a view to promote the interests ot that party. Suppose Mat Scott, after having served a month or so as sheriff, should die, and the county court was republican would It not appoint a republican sheriff? Of course It would. Suppose the office of county clerk, treasurer, recorder, school superintendent or otlwr minor office should become vacant by death, resigna tion or other cause, docs not every demo crat see that the court would jll these offices with republicans? Let every demo crat refiett upon the fact that if he ihoiihl vot fr Mr Trash he is virtually vtting in favor tf a republican for sheriff, clerk, rtctrdet or treasurer, in case any ot these offices should become vacant. Democrats can not afford ; to do this. j Democrat, R A Miller was one of the courageous mem. bers of the legislature who stood up manfully and helped sustain ti e governor's veto of the non taxable bond water bill.

Such was Job's remarkable saying when protesting that, not withstanding the nllllctlons visited upon him, he had never betrayed his personal ntegrlty. Governor Pcnnoyer Is more fortunate than Job In this, that Ids "adver sary has written a book" In the shape of a letter and had It published In the ('nyc num. And such a letter! It Is about the kind of a letter that the governor would have dictated had he been permitted to write the letter tor D.tvld. Referring to the charge made by the) governor In Ids Lebanon speech that Thompson, while mayor of Portland, signed an ordinance by which tht wharf line In front of the "Stark Block," owned by Thompson, was extend ed 40 teet Into the river, f'us making David the ownci ot that 40 feet, now worth $100,000, David, In his letter, says : 'I nevcrowncd that block; I owned less than one-third ol It, and Governor Peuiioy. er is well aware ol the fact that the mat or of the cttv does not establish wharf limn, and this is the lirttt time the matter has ever been called In question, although establishing the whurt line, according to the statement of the governor, occurred eleven jeurs ago." What A denial! Doe David denv sign ing t.ie ordinance? Not at all. What does he deny? Simply that he did nut own all the block, but about one third of it. lie says the mayor dor not cstabll .h w hart Hues. Hut he was charged with approv ing an ordinance that did establish this new line, and this he doe not deny, nor doe he dare deny It. The governor's charge Is subslant'ully admitted.

Referring to the charge that money was used In electing delegates to the state republican conven tion, Thompson say s : "His statement that I wis nominal.! by a convention selected by the use of money, j h.hed in th-i columns wherein Thompsoa al ls equally untrue." " i tempted to get double pay f-r single service. It I noioiloos, aye known by a!1 men iu j the state, who observe political matter, that money was used lavishly anJ openly to buy votes in Portland at the republican primaries. The OregoMox, after the con- ventiun, openly asserted that money was used by both tbc lgptan and Jos. Huiott factions, and that the corruption was the most open and outrageous on the part ol J.

UpeaViiiLr of the Portland Hull Rum water bill Thompson say : "I voted for the Portland water bid. All my constituents, democrat and republi cans, favorted it. 1 was their reprcscna live. I voted to pass tbc bill with the non-assesaable clause, and without It." On this subject David I candid so far as It goes.

The case of Gu Leldy & Co., brewers of Peoria, III., versus A j Hardin. of Iowa, came lo the federal Supreme Court, on appeal from Iowa. The plaintiffs had shipped $500 worth of liquors Into Iowa, In violation of her prohibitory law, The liquor was sel.cd In accordance with a provision of the Iowa law, and the Iowa court held tin t the sclsure was legal. The case was appealed to the Federal Court, which reversed the decision of the lower court, holding that the "plaintiffs In error, cltlcns of the slate of Illlnols,had the right to lmK)it this berr into lowa.and they had the right ta sell H, by which act alone It would become mingled In the common mass of property w ithin the state, Up to that point of time the stall had no power to Injure by seizure, or by any other action to prevent the Importation of and sale by a foreigner or ron-resident Importer."

Ever since the war the general govern nicnl has brrn the real saloon keeper. It lis hem the great dispenser of liqtu.r II ensrs, and has continued to l"ue them veil In slates that have enacted oioliibl lion laws. The federal courts In these states have held that these licenses cannot be 1 flcred In state court In proof that the licenses are sclllntf liquor. I he govern menl has evrn opened berr saloons of Its own at several ot the Soldiers' homes Now, the Supreme Court decides tint any stale has a rluht to ship liquors Into a pro lilttltlon stale without molestation or leis ure. Evidently no stale can hone to exe cute any prohibitory law until all the states and the gener! government unite n the movement. Chicago Herald.
