A writer in our down-street cotem porary insists that Democratic rule should be continued in Linn county, be cause they (the Democracy) have, since they came into power, "paid the entire debt of the county, and inaugurated reform and retrenchment in every branch of the county government.'" We asp not prepared to say that TJnn coun ty is eutirely out of debt ; but grant the statement made by this "'unknowu writer,' that the county is entirely treo of debt, for argumeut's sake, why is it, we ask, that taxation is kept up to sev enteen mills, when, under a Republican administration, and the county teas in debt (as the same writer charges), the taxes were but thirteen or fourteen mills ? If it takes eleven and a half mills to run the county alone under a Democratic administration, and the county out of debt, would it not be to the advantage of tax-payers to place the county in the liands of Republicans, who run the county at an expense of ' only seven or eight mills taxation for county purposes, and who did not im pose a special tax to erect a "ten-thousand dollar jail ? " Under Democratic srule we have no more officials to pay .than we had under Republican rule, 'therefore the county expenses should be the same. Siuee the Democracy have been in power, the taxable property has largely increased, probably threefold, -but the tax levy, instead of decreasing, lias increased. At the present rate of increase iu taxation, should the Democ racy retain power for ten years more, tax-payers will be compelled to pay at the rate of about thirty mills on the dollar! How do Democrats like the picture ? When yoa come to pay your taxes yoa feel that we have made a fair statement of the facts. And you .know, taking the history of the past acts of the Democratic party as a crite rion by which to judge it in the future, that as long as it holds the power there will be no reduction but a sure and cer tain increase of taxation. If you are in favor of genuine retrenchment and re form, yoa must, to be consistent, support the Republican ticket; for uutil this Democratic ring that now controls coun ty affairs, is broken, there will be neith er retrenchment or reform. ANOTHER FALSEHOOD. Our "down town" cotemporary, a few days since, asserted that Judge Blackburn, Republican' candidate for County Judge, had never cast a vote in Linn county. - This is untrue as a refer ence to the poll-books will show. Judge Blackburn has not only voted in this county, but he has resided here long enough to secure the respect and confidence of all who have the pleasure of his acquaintance, Republicans as well as Democrats. In fact, this feeling of confidence in his ability and honesty is so strong that large numbers of Dem ocrats have declared their intention to vote for Lira next June. . Our "down town" cotemporary baa already ac knowledged as much, and any denial now will prove unavailing. The fact is our "down town" cotemporary is in just this fix; When it stated that Judge Johns would be scratched by Demo crats, it either told what it knew to be the truth, as well as eVery other well informed person in the county, or, not knowing the facts, m one of its "spirit ual" moments, made the assertion, hop ing it was true, to "get even'? on Judge Johns for fancied or real wrongs. Our "do soi towner" can take either born of the dilemma he chooses, resting assured that in either case he has "put his foot iii il" and the friends cf Jude Johns will not forjret it. TL-3 N". Y Sun predicts the nomina tion cf Ym. Allen as the candidate of l 3 Grc'.-iA-fCK wing cf the Democracy .r tl.e Pre. iJencv IIS FOOT IX IT AUAIN. Our "down towner" is being cursed right and left for his stupidity, which leads him to constantly interfere, and ignorantly expose, the nice little schemes of the leaders of the Democracy of Linn. We say ignorantly, for those who know him best declare that he would be the last man to expose the tricks of his party, if he was gifted with what they call the "gumption" necessary to see and understand what they were driving at. The last "scheme," a very pretty one by the way, which was brought to ; naught by this "red hot" "down town er," all through its simple ignorance, cf course, was this : Soon after the Re UOT publican nominations had been made, a j Johns would have the people think he report was busily circulated by the j is exactly the man with whom should Democratic ring, that Dr. Jones, a j be entrusted the care, custody and pro thoroughpaced Republican, would not ( tection of the rights and property of the support the Republican nominee for , widows and orphans. VIM. Sheriff. Of course the report gathered force as it went, and it was vaguely hinted that the Dr. was working with might and maiu to to defeat Mr. Daw son. Saturday morning's "down town er" comes out and spoils all these well told tales by asserting in substance, that "Doc. Jones and Sylvester Dawson" had been np to Brownsville during the week, working together to defeat the Demo cratic candidate forSlwrifJ ! This "red hot" "down town" concern is thus daily earning a reputation for absolute stu pklity (viewed from a Democratic stand point), that will soon bury it out of sight, or compel a change of owners once more. REASONS FOR THE BEUEF THAT IS IX VS. Iu every precinct in the county, with the exception, perhaps, of one, there will be a largely increased vote for the Republican ticket, in some precincts the vote being nearly double that of former years. Four-fifths of the late emigra tion is R publican. A large number of Republicans who have not voted or taken any interest iu politics for years, will go to the polls next mouth and vote the straight Republican ticket. Tak ing these and other facts into considera tion, we are confident the Republican party has a majority of the legal voters of Linn coui.ty to-day. From all the information we can gather from relia ble, well informed sources, there will be comparatively little scratching or swap ping done by Republicans on election day, as our ticket meets the unanimous approval of the party. These . being facts, Republicans have only to go to the polls and deposit their votes at the coming election, to insure the success of our ticket. The election of the Re publican ticket is made all the more certain from the undeniable fact that the ticket put forth by the Democratic County Convention does not meet the approval of the Democracy of. Linn county, and numuers of the best men in the party have not only expressed their dissatisfaction openly, but have declared their intention to show their disapproval and condemnation by refus ing to support it at the polls They are the kind ot men. too, wno mean what they say, and cannot be coaxed or driven into voting against their convic tions. Tho Republicans of Linn never w were mqre united or harmonious, and with a ticket that commands universal respect, even from its opponents, are correspondingly happy and confident of victory. 'Rah for the Republican County ticket; The bitterest foes Judge Bonham, candidate for the Circuit Judgship of the third judicial district, has to con tend with in Linn county, are Demo crats, who pronounce iim entirely unfit for the position. The charge that it co6ts the ,county twice as much, under his administration, to run the Courts, as it did or will under Judge Boise, former Judge of the Circuit, and present Republican candidate for the position. Judge Boise, when upon the Bench, made one of 'the ablest and most profound jurists in the State, and under his administration business was not al lowed to drag along, week after week, at the expense of taxpayers. For ca pability, integrity in the discharge of all tho duties ot the office, and tor promptitude in the dispatch of all busi ness that comes before him, Judge Boise will not, nor did he ever have, a peer in the State. .

Francis Adams has been select ed to deliver the- Centennial Fourth ot July oration. It is thought Congress will hardly adjourn until the 12th of August, MOKE OF Jl'lMJE IOHS BEtOBB. It will be remembered that the late N. II. Cranor, Esq.,- defended Judge Johns in the action of Whitney vs J ohns, in contesting the right to the possession of the County Judgeship, for which services Mr. Cranor charged him the moderate fee of $50. The account re- maiued unsettled uutil the death of Mr. Cranor. In the course of settlement of the estate, said account was fluly pre sented and payment was peremptorily refused by Johns, and the estate has never received a single cent ou said ac- count. The widow and heirs have been thereby defrauded of what was justly and rightly their own. Still Judge FROM . HARRISBIRU . IIarrisburg, May 25, 1876. Ed. Register : It is reported here on the best of Democratic authority that Judgs Johns has promised the peo ple of the Forks that, if elected County Judge, he will appropriate money out of the county treasury to build the "San- tiam bridge." The building of this bridge would simply afford the people of the Forks an opportunity to cross over into Marion county to do their trading, and instead of being a benefit would be a detriment to the interests ot tho county, being in the. wrong place. Speaking of Judge Blackburn, you cau state that there are a number ot people here who have known the Judge from infancy np, who stand ready to vouch for his ability, honesty and in tegrity. He has hosts ot friends here, as election day will show. Republicans are iu good spirits, and are working harmoniously tor the elec tion of the whole ticket. X. A rival to the editor of the Albany Democrat has been discovered in Rhode Island man, who has been lying in one position for nine years. On the 19th, Ben. Holladay's West chester (N. Y.) farm was sold at Sher iffs sale to satisfy judgments Tbe Candidates for District Attorney. Mr. Burnett, the Republican candi date for the office of District Attorney in the third judicial district, and Mr. Ramsey, the Democratic candidate for the same office, addressed tbe citizens ot Albany on Friday evening last, upon the political issues ot the day. Quite a Iare audience had assembled to hear the respective candidates. Both are young men and somewhat inexperienced in political debate. Mr. Burnett opened the discussion with a very clear and candid statement ot the political issues now before the people, and then proceeded to show that the Republican party is a party of progress and economy, opposed to cor ruption and malfeasance in office, and ever ready to punish and crush it when found. On the contrary he showed in the most forcible manner and by an overwhelming array ot facts and figures, that the Democratic party was and is a party of demagogues, public thieves and plunderers; that it is full ot prom ises but never performs them; that wherever and .whenever Democrats have had the control of affair, they have by "unjust and discriminating laws: oppressed the people to enrich party fa vorites, aud cited the iniquitous litigaut act of Gov. Grover by which he was enabled for four years to take by force the small pittance, which is only too often their only support, from the widow and orphan, to support his ad ministration and thereby re-elect him self ' Governor, Then he exposed ? the swamp land steal by means ot which nearly every leading Democrat in the Legislature of Oregon at the time, and many out of the Legislature, but in the ring, got possession of large tracts of land at the expense ot the people. Then he exposed the Willamette Falls and Lock bill steal, whereby certain leading Democrats in the ring put $75,000 of the people's money in their pockets for putting the job through, and Senator Kelly got a big price for bis interest in the land through which the Canal ; and Locks were built. Then he exposed what he termed the legal stealings ot the present State Government of Ore gon, amounting in two years to about $30 ,000,. which "Gilrrey and 1" had managed to manipulate, under color of .law out of the publio treasury, with the aid of a Democratic Secretary of Stats. He then ' showed that the amount paid as salaries to the swamp land commissioners, clerks, &c, under the Swamp Land. Act, exceed the amount that has cr is likely to be re ceived from all tlie siyarsp land is this State under existing lavs, Ila then showed how , BUI Wadkbs, in a t of economy, introduced and kept nl.ct Mr. Ramsey terms a "dm-? store," con sisting mainly of bad whisky, ?t the enitentiary, for the convenience of the convicts, charjring the State with drugs," when he purchased, but nver giving the State c-ed it when he sold. He cited the Litigant Act of the State of ; California as another instance ot Democratic oppression- and then that . . , . . . . . ... . -a m nine steal ot noes Tweed and lamma ny Ilall Democrats of New York. That Texas was voted into the Union by Democrats, liecanse many of the Democratic members of Congress held arge amounts ot the then worthless scrip of Texas which; as soon as ,the state was admitted into the Union, be came worth dollar tor dollar, as the U mtea states paid it, Congress having voted trie debt, as welt as the otate,mto the Ucion. ' How Secretary Floyd stole about a million ot money from the pub ic treasury. How a Democratic Col lector of the Port ot New York stole $40,Q00, and because he did not et?al more, ja Democratic President reappoint ed him, and he then stole about one million, all of which could not be de nied, but was vouched fc.r by a well known Democratic politician who was present. Mr. Burnett, though a young man, is a forcible, logical, aud eloquent speaker,, and during his address was frequently interrupted with loud and prolonged applause. ;. Jle closet witn witty ' and : caustic " allusion to smelling committees generally, and par ticularly to that of the Stales liights Democrat in getting its nose iuto the rear aurifice of the Republican candi date for Judge of this District, and took his seat atuid great applause. Mr. Kamsey was then introduced and attempted in an awkward manner to answer some cf Mr. Burnett's argu ments. But even his political friends saw from the beginning that it was a hopeless task for him. He answered most of the charges brought home to the Democratic party by Mr. Burnett, by saying he never heard of them be fore, and consequently they conld not be true. ; He never heard of the Boss Tweed steal, of the Tammany Hall steal, of the Floyd steal, -of the Wil lamette Falls and Lock Bill, and ot the infamous Litigant Act, and yet he pre tends to be a lawyer and a politician, and an American citizen of general ' in telligence! lie said he had no personal knowledge of the stealings ot "Gilfrey and I," but he presumed they did not exceed those of Sam May. He charged that the Republican party was responsi ble for, and upheld, the military interfer ence of Gen. Sheridan in the Louisiana Legislature, and to show that the Re publican party endorsed and upheld this act ot Sheridan, he called attention to the fact that the leading Republicans of New York called an indignation meet ing of Republicans-wb condemned the acts ot Sheridan and pasxl resolutions. to that effect. - He further called atten tion to the fact that a Republican Sen ate refused to give a seat to the man elected to the United States Senate by the Legislature of Louisiara, because Sheridan, had interfered, and with force had ousted several Democrats from their seats in that Legislature, although the man elected to the United States Sen ate was a strong partizan Republican. What au endorsement ot military in tervention that is ! Then in a desultory way he stated that the Southern States were in the hapds of the , Republicans from 1860 to 1865, and that during that time each of those States contract ed vast amounts of deb s, and that afterwards the. Republican party pro posed and passed an amendment to the Constitution of the United States mak ing it unlawful for any of tbe States that were in rebellion to pay any ot their State indebtedness contracted dur ing the time they were so in rebe lion ; atid as those States are now Democrat ic, they desired the, privilege ot paying said indebtedness, but on account of the amendment to the Constitution, it would be unlawful to do so, and it they at tempted it the States or the Democrats would probably be indicted and impris oned, as the present Administration would let no guhty man escape. He then read what purported to be the amount ot the indebtedness of several of the Southern States, which the Con- stnuuition prohibited the Democrats from paying, and remarked, with great force and originality, that the Demo cratic party was a constitutional party. He then passed to the financial question, aud stated that the is ational Bank Bills, fractional currency and green backs were all legal tenders; that al though it was issued by the Kepublican party he tbouglit currency more conven ient than hard money; that hard money was hard to get, and for his part be was in favor of the system by which he could obtain the" most money 1 in the shortest time. He then stated he was a candidate for the office jof District At torney; that it was an important office, one that required an abie and talented lawyer: -That . beiug - & poor, man he several years ago run for t ounty J udge in Yamhill count v was beaten at the polls, but he contested the election, and by the sharp practice of himself and his attorneys ho outwitted Lis opponent and got the ofHce; but he failed to state that at the end of four years the people ot Yamhill county concluded they did not want any more sharp practice, that a man of his rare ability could not sup port himself honestly on the small sal ary ot a County Judge, and so conclud ed to elect an honest if not 6o tnckey a lawyer. He then intimated that if the people wanted a good man, a moral man, a lawyer cf ability that could not be swerved ircva duty by a drink ot whisky, whether froia a Democrat .or Republican, tl.ey must and ought to vote for him, m l stated that his mod ety woi.M net p-r-;;l l.hn to speak of Lin elf or male sny invidious corapai SO!! 3.
