Two Lie Nailed.
Shortly after the nomination of Mr. Henry
Jewell for representative there were heard
reports of his having been engaged years
ago in most extraordinary transaction.
One of these reports 9ecified that fifteen or
sixteen years ago Mr. Jewell was caught in
the act of selling in Portland rolls of butter
tilled with mashed potatoes, and that he w as
arrested and fined for the fraud. One varia
tion of the rert waa that the swindle was
detected and that it cost Mr. Jewell a con
siderable sum to settle the matter out of
court. Another story was to the effect that
Mr. Jewell sold a man a stack of hay and
received pay for the same aud that when
the purchaser came to remove the hay he
found that the stack had been built over an
immense stump. There were variations of
these yams but the gist was substantially as
given here.
These rumor were so well circulated in
tow n that many people not personally ac
quainted with Mr. Jewell began to give
them some credence. Mr. Jewell wa busy
on his farm and the reports did not reach
him so of course he did not contradict them.
The charges being so freely reiterated and
in no wise contradicted led many republi
cans even to think a mistake had been made
in putting Mr. Jewell in nomination, and
the county central committee was consid
ering the matter of inducing him to with
draw from the ticket. Among republicans
there was general aversion to supporting a
man who appeared dishonest, no matter if
he was the regular republican nominee.
Letters notifying Mr. Jew ell of the state of
affairs failed to reach him on account of be
ing sent to the wrong post ollice. But he
happened to come to town last Friday
and was speedily made aware of the situa
tion. He unhesitatingly branded the re
ports as malicious falsehoods and made the
following affidavit:
Inasmuch as there has been pretty lndutrl
ously circulated, with the apparent purpose of
defeating my election as representative, one re
port that I was cauht In the act of selling but
ter in which mashed potatoes were concealed,
and another report that I had sold a stack of j
hay in which a stump took a large space, I
herebydeclare both reports wholly untrue and '
without any sort of foundation in fact. I will !
further declare that I never sold butter with po- i
tatfifi in it and of course was never arrested or
fined for such offense, or any other. People
who circulate such reports must be inspired by
.malicious motives, and I hereby denounce any
one or all persons mnklug such statements to!
be guilty of giving circulation to unqualified
falsehoods Henry Jewell
Witness signature
Geo. C. Browuell. .
Subscribed and sworn to before me this 2i!d
day of April, W)2. C. 0. T. Williams,
Notary Public for Oregon.
This sworn statement of Mr. Jewell ought
to settle the matter as regards these scan
dalous untruths. The original copy is in
the hands of the Kstekcrise and if Mr.
Jewell has aworti falaely it will be very eaay
to establish lite fkot and to nmk Mm sutler
for it. In the ataence ot any uoh proof no
man with any tvptrxl for honor will
tiuue to give cuiivnoy to such scurrilous
lie. Some (rood people have hereloftu b
hevfd sml rep;tcd the ehaote Iwaiis
they seemed practically to be ailmilteil.
There is no longer haais for their belief and
every effort should he tnaleto repair Uie In
jury that hat been done an honorable man.
Thef is hardly a question that Ibeevil re
port were started by persons who would
like to we Mr. Jewell beaten at the poll.
This sneaking, woltlsh method of pulling a
man down is repulsive to every instinct of
the true American citiien, no matter what
Hlitical party he may be allied with. The
people have a sense of fairness in such mat
ters and they will sit down hard on this
scurvy trick to smirch the character of an
upright cilinen in order to compass his po
litical defeat. The republican t-arty, how
ever, has shown a clear disposition to purify
its own ranks w hen there is apparent need
for it.
Issues uf the Campaign.
There are four issues in this campaign
"' I'""'"1 'U' '"
i which evcrv voter feels a personal interest.
These are county rils, the matter of taxa
tion, the protective taritl and the silver
question. Of course there are many other j
matters involve,! in the campaign but w hen j
thee main ones are well understood the ;
others will take care of themselves.
The contest this year must he one of pnn-
clples rather than of personalities. A candi
date of ordinary integrity mav be fairly con
sidered to represent the principles of the
party that put him in nomination and a
vote lor the candidate means a rote for the
policy of the party he represents. This Is
not true ol all elections. Hut this year is a
presidential year, ami state, congressional,
county and district ottlcers allign front top
to bottom in accordance with their respect
ive party doctrines. This should be re
membered bv the voter on election day.

wealthy persons to escai paying anything
The legislative officers chosen this year will
have this matter to deal with ami there
publican nominees in Clackamas county are
well known to be in touch with the people
on this subject.
The taritf and the money question both
present intricate problems for stmleiits ol
the dismal science of political economy.
But he who runs may read that the greatest
prosperity this country has ever enjoyed has
been under protective tariff aud honest i
money, while ita greatest depressions have
been under revenue tariff and experimental
money schemes. These are not merely co
incidences. Tothe thinking mind they are
weightv arguments. Honest money and
protective tariff constitute the gist of the re
publican doctrine while the democrats take
the opposite ground, or anything to get
votes.
The Sheriff Campaign Tactics.
A good deal of misinformation Is emanat
ing from the sheriff's office these days.
Most of this effervescence pertains to the
regular republican nominee for sheriff, Mr.
Eli C. Maddock. Every means seems to be
sought to misrepresent ami villify him In a
manner designed to make it somewhat dif
ficult to fix its source and responsibility.
It is stated that Mr. Maddock is not a tax
payer or that be pays only $1 of tax; that
there is something crooked in his returns to
the assessor; that he is a bad man gene
rally, etc. There are dark hints and innuen
does calculated to terrify a confiding voter
and drive him from Mr. Maddock' stand
ard in hot haste. Official records are pre
tended to be quoted to accomplish this re
sult. No means is too low, no artifice too
dishonorable to be used against Mr. Mad
dock in these foul and snakish ellorts to in
jure him.
Sheriff Samson must be held responsible
for this disgraceful bushwhacking. Not that
all the falsehoods and insinuation and
noisy mouthingsthat characterize this guer
rilla attack come direct from Mr. Samson
personally, but it apiwars to lie all counte
nanced by him. ' Much of the venomous
rot is emitted by a noisome creature whose
utterances would pass unheeded indeed,
unheard by respectable persons if he were
not thrust before the taxpayer by occupy
ing a temporary clerkship in the sheriffs
office. Putting a beer-soaked gutter-wal-lowerin
a position of apparent respecta
bility gives his frothy emissions a signifi
cance they would not otherwise have. So
Sheriff Samson must be held responsible for
the whole utluck.
Of course if Mr. Samson chooses to oppose
(lie election of Mr. Mitdduck it is his ina
lienable American right to do so. Whether
his reasons for such action are good and
sufficient is none of the people's business,
lint it is the people's business, regardless
of party, when a public servant uics his
ollice to undermine the political or social
churacter of anv other citizen or official in
an inKb'ious, sneaking and contemptible at- j 'ts predeceHHor. It doBerves to HUceeed .

I'losvkt Ilit.u, Or., April ?X To th
KniToa. 1 see hy your aper, and by the
boat bills, that the Mantanillo will begin
to run regular trip between Mission jnd
ing and Oregon t'lty, connecting with the
Altoua and Kamona. This w ill lie a great
boon to the people on the river along the
route on which she will run. I hoe the
larmvrs will give her a liberal patronage,
and do all in their Hwer to encourage her
owners so they will be able to keep heron
the mule. It Is something that the resi
dents along the river have been wishing for
the land near the river, as quick transporta
tion will give us a chance to raise and mar
ket a different rlass of produce. It will also
give us a chance to get our goods at the
cheapest rates,
alio will compel country
I hope that Oregon t'ity too will reap a lien
elit from the new route. I would like to sug
gest to her merchant that now is a time to
secure a trade that they have not had here
tofore and to get that trade they will have lo
show the euple that they can furnish them
what they w ant as cheap as the same article
can be had hi Portland. 1 haveeveryconll-
dene that they can do It, and I suggest that
they advertise freely where th travelers by
the new route will he sure lo si It. With
the increased facilities for traveling that
will give the people seven hours in your
city I think Oregon City can secure a great
share of the trade if her business men will
get in and rustle to get it. I suppose there
will be a little kicking that the boat will not
stop at every man' landing, but they have
made a very liberal lot of landings, being
thirty in twenty seven miles; and the farm
er along the river should remember that
they can't stop at all the landings and make
iuick time any more than the car ran stop
at every farm and "get there" on time. I
think all the travelers will Mam see this and
will nut complain, but will patronize the
boats all they can with their hires and light
freight, Joel P. Heck.
