Betas a minister of the Gospel, as well as
a teacher, I have made It a matter of eon
sclent ta keen aloof from all political en
tanglements, and although the o 111 re to
which I have been nominated Is not strlctl y
a political one, yet It can only be reached
through tae "mtuldy pool of polities.

AXOTELE 1D CBABSISG ATTORXET,
Bow Judge H. Barter, of Yamhill, Be-
Iraadeel a Poor Blind Ban ant of
Ills Land.
It frequently occurs that after the
election of au officer it is found tbat lie
possesses qualities that render him very
unfit to fill the office to which he has
been chosen. The experience which
the jieople have had in this respect
should render them very careful in ex
amining the past life of the candidates
presented to them, so that they may
avoid electing such mt-n as have already
proved by their acts that they are unfit
to fill positions of honor and trust.
While we do not believe in raking up
every little petty detail of the candi
date's private career, we nevertheless
consider it our duty to expose such acts,
as they may come to our knowledge, as
would demonstrate his unfitness for the
position to which his party has seen fit
to nominate him.
"We are reliably informed of certain
matters relating to the past career of
Mr. H. Hurley, of Yamhill, the Repub
lican candidate for Prosecuting Attor
ney, which we submit to the considera
tion of the voters of this District.
There has been of late a certain class
of attorneys who, not finding their
legitimate business sufficiently remune
rative to satisfy their sordid ambition,
have resorted to the practice of search
ing the county records for the purpose
of finding defects in the title to lands,
and going to parties who had some tech
nical legal rights, have induced these
parties to give them, for a small consid
eration, a quit-claim deed for their in
terest, and have then commenced suit
on the bona fide owners and holders of
suet lands, for the purpeso either of
levying blackmail or of dispossessing
them of their fairly acquired property.
About thirty years ago one J. H.
Hess secured Tor himself and wife a
section of land in Chehalem "Valley, in
Yamhill county. Same years subse
quently Hess and his wife separated.
Daring this separation, and while both
parties still lived, Mrs. Hess sold her
land for its full value to one James Lee,
a poor eld blind man. But the deed
conveying this land was not signed by
Hess, nor did it occur at the time to
either granter or grantee that the signa
tare of Hess wa3 necessary to make a
good conveyance. After this Hess died,
and it became impossible to remedy the
defect, had it been detected, which de
tection wa.s rendered more than ordi
narily improbable by Lee's blindness.
But his blindness did-not protect Lim
from a man who, in searching the rec
ords, discovered tbe fatal flaw in Lee's
title. Mr. H. Hurley, the Republican
nominee for Prosecuting Attorney of
this District, was the man who made
this discovery. Mrs. Hess was at this
time living in Portland, in great pov
erty, a wemaa of but feeble intellect
and of no business qualifications. Hur
ley induced a Mr. Large to go to Port
land and secure a deed from her to the
land ia question. Mrs. Hess, pressed
by poverty, and not knowing much
abmt land titles, sold her interest to
Large for $100, the property being worth
3,000. Large then entered suit to re
cover the land, Hurley acting a3 liis at
torney, and obtaining judgment in his
favor ; after which he deeded Hurley
half of the land for the nominal consid
eration of 50, or exactly La!f of the
am paid by Large to the poor widow.
Larue's wife, however, refused to sign
the deed, declaring tbat &he knew the
whole proceeding to be a s smile.
Large and Hurley are tu-iiay ia pos
session of the proerty which they ac
quired by these means.
The deeds and other .iir-rs relating
to this affair are masters of record at
Lafayette, the county s-eat of Yamhill.
We ask whether a man who will ac
quire from a oor blind maa p.rtd an in
iigent widow a property worth $1,500
for the jmltvy sum of 50, in this dis
reputable manner, is lit to hold any of
fice whatsoever in the gift of the people's
LAXE CealSTT.
While at Eugene last Friday we had
the pleasure of meeting Senator Coch
ran, Judge Thompson, Col. Fitch, Judge
"Walton, and many ether representative
eitizeas of Lane, and were much pleased
to hear them unanimously express the
opinion ha t the Democracy would carry
Lane county by a handsome majority.
They Lave a remarkably strong county
ticket, which, together with the supe
rior intelligence of the State ticket,
thoroughly unites the Democracy oi
that county and insures a grand victory
for the whole ticket in June.

TE.3 EAtlTSt OF SI.tlE I iiiTL'iG.
, Last week's Statammx and Onjonian
contain charges against the Democratic
candidate for State Printer which re
quire some attention. A large proces
sion of figures are paraded, ia which
attempts are ntado to show fraudulent
measurement on the part of Mr. Nolt
ner as expert in the matter cf State
Printing. This table ia. evidently
predicated upon tho erroneous supposi
tion, that the State Printer is only en
titled to composition under the Jaw
of 1874, which waa passed after his
induction into office. For tho benefit
of those who might be misled by this
ingenious style of campaign l g:c, we
herewith quote the Constitution on the
subject of the office of State Printer :
ARTICLE XII.
state cmrsnica.
1. There shall be elected by the qualified tieeUirs of
tha state, at the times aud places of ehoosin j members
the legislative assembly, a slate printer. ho shall
hold his idlice for the terra of four years. He shall per
form all the mib:ic printing for the state, which may
be provided by law. The ratea to be paid to him for
mch pria'.-ing shall be fixed by law, and f hall neither
be nrrc-Tro nor diminished during the term for which
he ehaU hare been elected. He shad fcive such security
for the performance of Ms duties as tbe legislative
assembly may provide.
Here it will be seen that the meas
urement and rates can only be comput
ed under the old law, and that tho new
law can in no way affect his fees. It is
always the rule of law that no act can
be passed affecting existing contracts,
and a public officer should have the
svme protection uuder the law as a pri
vate citizen.
Hence Mr. Noltner could have
done nothing more nor less than to obey
the Constitution and allow the rates of
composition existing at the time the
present State Printer went into office.
The work was done well and careful
ly, was performed in all its details with
accuracy and dispatch, the most compe
tent and expert mechanics were employ
ed and the very best of material was
used in the execution of the work, and
not one word of fault had been found
anywhere against Mr. Noltner's meas
urement until his political friends saw
fit to present his name for that office.
Then as one of the devices of the cam
paign his political enemies and espe
cially those who expect to profit by his
defeat raise this flimsy question upon
him and undertake to make him a party to
an imaginary fraud through the grossest
misrepresentation.
But as most of our readers are whol
ly unfamiliar with this matter of the j
State Printing, and that they may have
a closer insight into it, and a fairer un- j
derstanding of how the office has been
. 1
conducted under different managments
and different political parties, we here
with submit the repoi t of Mr. U. E,
Hicks, one of the most efficient, careful
and painstaking printing experts that
the Legislature ever appointed.
In the Legislature of 1872 a Joint
Committee to investigate the Public
Printing was appointed, and that Com
mitted selected U. E. Hicks as expert
who, after a somewhat protracted search
into the official records on the subject
of the State Printing, submitted the
following Report :

te of other work, sttcb as bills, ac, could not
be found) since 13U', and Hud tbe fallowing
facts :
'lh? style of work has been about the same
throughout by each Public Pr uter, with these
exceptions: j na journals printed Dy air. rit-toi-k
were set in solid paragiaprs, using leads
only between paragraphs, and "quad or blank
lines between subjects, 'the Journals and Re
ports printed by Messrs. -McPnerson and Pat
terson were all leaded with "four to pica"
leads. Tbe quality of paper uaed by Patterson
was better than that used by either Plttoek or
McPherson, except the Code, printed by Mr.
Pittock, which is upon pnpei of excellent qual
ity. The paper used by McPherson was of
poorer quality than that used by either 01 the
other two State Printers .
The measurement of tvpe act (per 1,000 eras)
is nlike in all worn, as Indeed there could not
be any serious mistake made in this r-speet.
In estimating tbe paper tbe same basts has
been adopted by all-eight pages lo the signa
ture and one shet-t to each signature and ne.-e
has arisen the main c use 01 complaint on the
part of those who understand the subject. The
law allows $10 u) per r. am for all paper nsed,
but lai s to state tne sice of tbe sbee. and does
n discriminate between book paperand fools
cap or tlatcap paper. Hence, it has been
claimed by the State Printers that as the basin
of eight pages lo the signature is the general
custom in all leading book printing offices,
therefore, it was right to count paper upon tbe
same ba is, whlcn gives $HI on a ream lor book
paper (21 by 38 Inches tbe usual S;n-) Instead ot
$10 in. The cot of book paper(tt to 14 pounds
to the ream) in Salem at tnls dte is about
13 U0 p- r r am: and the cost of flatcap (14 to
iti pounds per ri m) Is from $ us u $16 uu per
ream, 'i heretore, the State I'rinter would lose
largely on book papt-r and make but a small
prodt on Ontcap paper, if he was enly allowed
510 uo per ream for tull size, because nothing is
allowed for wastage In either case. Again, pa
pr manufacturers can and do ninke paperai
all sizes and grades when specially ordered ait J
tbe state Printer coull (and may bavesodone)
oruer paper one-iounn tne usual size cut and
pack-d Into regular reams by tbe manufactur
ers, and tnus complied sttictly with tne letter
of the law, and obtained his paper at a small
advance upon regular price ior r. gular 811-s. 1
have, ther.-lore, been eoinnelbd t allow the
claim of one sheet to each lull s gnalure ol
eight pages for book and pamphlet wotk, and
one sheet to each bill, etc , of four pages.
There has been no allowance made lor wast
age in paopr in any east-, wbtcb In all beok
prlnting offices Is estimated at, at least, five per
cent. 011 amount required for all work.
In estimating press-work the same rule has
been pursued as In counting paper eight pages
to the signature or form and twotokenstoeach
form. L'pon the subject of press-work. I desire
to say that the price allowed by law Is not too
nign, as tne pront 01 tae printer Is very small
at one dollar per token, of two hundred and
forty sheets : provid-'d, he takes any pains
wbatever with this important branch of bis
work. Nothing has been allowed for ink.
The price paid for binding in paper covers
$15 00 per 1"U copies is exceedingly high at the
present time -, but it is so fixed by law. and has
been allowed.
In a former report I have given the cost of
the work and the amount paid to each state
Printer since ISta, which will lorraapnrtot this
report; also, a comparison of the work In de
tail, which accom'Minies this report.
In addition to what I have betore stated rel
ative 10 the law governing State Printers, 1
would again urge the early amendment there
of, which will save to the State many dnllars
nrf-aner anu ena lurtner complaint in this di
rection. ftotwilhstanHing the tact that the work has
been lengthened, or made what pr.nters term
phat work," by state Printers In this State, vet
upon comparts n with that done for ohet
States (copies of which cn be seen in the State
Library), 1 And nowidedltrerenceafterall. Tne
work now being done will compare favorably
with any oilier state work and Is superior to
many.
Therefore, I conclude that the work perform
ed for this state during the past eight years,
and more especially the work -lone by Mr. Pat
terson and the present State Printer, end the
measurements and allowances made by Ex
pert who have examined the work, and who
are all practical printers and men of good
judgment anil whose sworn statements are at
tached to all bills for printing which h iveben
allowed and more .riicularlr the measure
ments and allowances made by Mart. V.
Brown, Lsq.- have been very much the samt
in all respects and according to law.
Respectfully submitted,
Lobaj is. Hicks, Expert.
We submit the above report that it
may be before our readers thus early in
the campaign, and we promise that we
will next week show wherein grost
wrongs were perpetrated under Radical
State Printers, and especially during
the time that Mr. II. L. Pittock wai
State Printer and W. B. Carter, tht
present Republican candidate for Statt
Printer, was the expert. The abovt
report shows it, but many of our read
era may not see it quite so plainly until
it is pointed out to them.
Other experts besides Carter did som
lively measuring as that report wil
ihow, and they will need a little atten
;ion in the matter.
In the meantime we desire to stat
-hat we not enly expect it, but w.
saurt the closest scrutiny and the mo .1
ninute investigation into the matter o

work or the measurement, and are read

The truth of the matter is, and tbe
persons who publish this tabulated lie
know it, that in the column of figures
headed "Grover's administration, is con
tained payment! made for a great part
of the expense -of the Woods adminis
tration. Every intelligent man in the
State who was here at that time, er who
heard the canvass of four years ago,
knows that the Legislature of 1868 ad
journed without making appropriation
for the expenses of the State govern
ment, and that the current expenses of
the two years following were paid dur
ing Grover's first term, of which the
following is a correct statement taken
from the Treasurer's report of 1872,

Between 1872 and 1874 there was
an additional sum of $19,204 53 paid
as interest on indebtedness incurred by
the Woods administration, which should
justly be deducted from the sum of ex
penses of Grover's administration of
feur years, which would place the gross
amount of expenses of Grover's admin
istration $11,678 03 below the cost of
Woods' four years. But hen we take
into consideration the fact that during
the Grover administration there were
extraordinary expenses iu securing lands
granted to the State, and permanent
improvements made which are too well
known to need mention, and the natu-'
rally increased cost of the keeping of
the insane and convicts, and additional
expense in the legislative department
on account of increased number of mem-
beis, we can only wonder that the cost
of running the State government dur
ing Grover's term was not greatly in
excess of that of Woods, and it is prima
facie evidence of economy on the part
of Democratic officials that it is not so.
THET WILL BE WATCHED.
We understand that many of the
Republican Greenbackers in Linn are
now attempting to slide back to the
Republican ranks, having accomplished
their object in "sniping" Democrats in
to the movement. But Democratic
Greenbackers owe it to themselves to
see that this treachery is check-mated.
It would be a repetition of the Peter
Cooper farce of 1876, when, although
pledges were made by Republicans in
Linn to vote that ticket, when election
day came around only about 10 out of
the 141 votes in Linn for Cooper were
Republicans. This sort of trick is get
ting somewhat monotonous and we ap
prehend the Democratic Greenbackers
have "dropped on it" by this time and
will see that it is not repeated.
A prominent Greenbackcr informs
us that so far as he is concerned he
believes in the sincerity of the Republi
cans in that movemnt, but he will in
sist that they shall "show their faith by
their works" on election day. And
he is a man of keen wit enough to see
that in Lib section there shall . be fair
play.

Harvey Scott gives it up. He sayg
there is no use to buck against the Cus
tom House Ring in manipulating pri
maries. They have nothing else to do
but draw their salaries and menage pol
itics, hence they have the trade to per
t'ection, and even a majority of those
unfamiliar with the business will be left
jut in the cold.
It seems to us that Bro. Scott ought
o have learned enough, while he trained
vith that crowd for so many years, to
icad them off on some of their tricks.
3ut maybe he has grown rusty in the
usiness from having been out of a job
.'or so long.
HBArs IS A SAME.
And now the East Orejonian, one of
he live papers ef the "bunch grass re
;ion, calls the Radical pastorate candi
'ate "Rev. Hard Kase Hines."
That doesn't jibe with " Rev. Heav

fljve with "Rer. Hog Korral."

EeT. Mr. Acton, editor ef thu Pacjic
Christian Advocate, administers a scat
tering rebuke to Rer. H. KL. Hines in
the last issue of that paper. It is mud
to the credit as well as to the Christian
sincerity of tho Advocat that that pa
per so boldly n.l' mns one of its own
preachers f.r his political perfidy. Fol
lowing is the articlo referred to:
"With all duo respects for our
worthy brothi r, we cannot but feel
that Rev. H. K. Hines who has accept
ed the nomination of the Xtepubucan
Convention for Congress, has made a
great mistake. In our judgement it is
seldom if ever that the good of the
commonwealth demands such a step.
It certainly does not now. We fail to
see any reason on the part of the State
which requires this, wL-iie in the cor
ruption among wire-working politicians
and the chicanery necessary to bring
about such a nomination we do see am
ple reason for not tasteing, touching, or
handling the unclean thing. It is not
so much a question of moral right,
However, as to expediency, the vows
of a minister of Jesus are still upon
this brother, lie has not been nomin
ated by the church, nor has his confer-
encj released him from his work as Pre
siding Elder of tbe Boise district He
simply steps aside from his profession,
one in which for years he has spent his
time and talent and for which he has
educated himself. He is not a states
man.. It would be unreasonable to re
quire he should be. Nor do we risk
anything is saying he is not the choice
of tbe Republicans of the State. We
doubt not his name would never have
been thought of for this position! but
for the usual game by which unheard-of-things
are accomplished among politi
cians. wuo Has done tins work we do
not know, nor are we worried in the
least about the coming election. We
believe however it turns out, it will
prove a final injury to our good brother
and without benefit to tbe State. Mr.
Hines if elected will doubtless maintain
his integrity and do all he can; but in
tegrity and success at Washington are
two things. Politicians are public prop
erty in the worst possible sense. Al
ready the opposition papers are throw
ing garbage and stench of the campaign
is u ion na. However well a good man
can bear these things, no minister can
afford to invite them without a better
reason than we can see in this case."
ET. T. r. CAMPBELL RECUSES.
The following letter will need ne com
ment as it fully explains itself:
Mostistth, Or., April 2a. 1378.
Hon. L. Bentlv. Chairman State Executive Commit
tee of National Greenback and Workiagman'e Party.
Mem mouth, Oregon:
liRA feia: circumstances over which 1 have no
control constrsia me to decline he nomination as a
candidate to Congress, tendered me by the National
Greenback snd V orkinamsn's tartv. in eonveatioa. at
Albany, April 3d. Sickness in my family durtsnds
my presence at borne, snd constant care forbids tbat I
shtiuld meet toe of iposinf candidates eastof the moun
tains, accordinf to arrangements which I made with
Gov. Whiteaker. I am wilUng- to jeopardise the suc
cess of tbe principles involved without a vigorous
campaiirn, which the continued bad health of Mrs.
Campbell prevents me from making.
It is doe alike to myself and to my friends of the
Convention to say, that my nomination was the result
ot a misunderstanding, for which, however, no one is
censurable- My name should not have been nsed,
only im s ecntitureiicy, which did Dot trine. 1 neither
expected nor defined the nomination, and on tins ac
count, I appreciate the more hiahly the unsought hon
or, and the more reluctantly decline. 1 have tbe hon
or to be with high respect your obedient servant.
T. t, CAMPHI.!,
It is a high compliment to the judge
ment and discrimination of our esteem
ed friend. Rev. T. F. Campbell, that he
has withdrawn frora the hopeless con
test which some of his Uladvised friends
attempted to thrust upon him. Mr-
Campbell is an able and popular gentle
man, and for his own best interests and
that of his sacred calling his true
friends will most certainly congratulate
him on his withdrawal from the "filthy
pool of politics."
LET THE PEvFLB KBXEJIBEB.
The Radical press seems to concen
trate its fire on our present State Treas
urer and his management of the funds
We are willing that the issue should be
made in that way, and Mr. Brown does
not shrink from it. It will be seen by
the exhibit of State finances which we
publish on our first page to-day (and
that exhibit has not yet been successful
ly attacked) that the State has not run
behind a dollar since September 1, 1374,
on account of current expenses, and not
a warrant will be reported unpaid at
the meeting of the Legislature in the
coming September, the funds in hand
from the revenues of last year, collect
ed this year, being sufficient to pay all
warrants drawn.
If Woods, May & Co. had managed
the affairs of onr commonwealth in this
way there would have been ne reason for
complaint on the part of the taxpayers
with regard to debt.
The Democrats are generally faithful
in public trusts, and the people will
continue them in power in Oregon.
Don't fail to read the exhibit referred

The Oregonian is Terr justly disgust
ed with the way the Republican Pri
maries were carried on in Multnomah
county last Saturday. Here ia what it
has to say:
The Republican, or rsthor tbe Mltch-sH primaries,
which were held en Saturday, were conducted under
good discipline, and with even more than customary
enerpr. They were organized and directed miialy by
the federal office-holders, and were tbe result of meet
ings and caucuses which had been continued during
two months, or more. The Job went off very smooth
ly, only those participating who insist on having only
Mitchell men for the legislature. All other Republi
cans stood aloof, and will take such other action as
they see Ot hereafter. At tne ntgnuy meetings neia
for some time nest the ahole nrimaries wereercanised:
persons were selected as delegates, and others were ap
pointed to serve as judges and eterks. For this Utter
service some were sent to scv ouv oi ieu- own prw
dncu. Considering tbat there was little or no opposi
tion to the programme, there wss an unnecessary
amount of exertion to swell the poll lists and stuff the
boxes with the "straight ticket.' For many weeks
the managers of the Mitchell movement have been la
boring to organise and control a certain body of work
ingmon, so-called. Fart of the ticket which was
thrown out by these managers through this organiza
tion recently, it is understood, was "ratified" St tbe
Eriraariee on Saturday. But tbe result of this tnanirm
.tion will not be accepted by the organization referred
to. Already many of the members denounce it. It is
charged that the Mitchell politicians have not kept
faith with the organisation. Tbe workingtnen, it is
fcsid, were to have twenty-three of tne delegates to the
convenUon as their share, but were beaten by a sharp
ing trick, so tbat they got only four. Eagerness to
have a convention which would not fail to nominate a
full list of Mitchell men for tbe Legislature produced
this reported breach of faith. It is understood that
the workingmen's organization has been insisting on
naming three of tbe members ; but the managers deem
this unsafe, and now have the game ia their own
hands. The question is coming pUinlv before tbe peo
ple of Multnomah county whetber they will support
snd elect a legislative ticket nominated exclusively in
the interest of Mr. Mitchell, or not. The party repre
sented by the convention which will meet next Satur
day witl be a Mitchell party exclusively, not the Re
publican party. To what exteat his allegiance is doe
to such organization each Republican will decide for
himself. During the week the regency will select the
ticket, is so far as that matter hss not already beenat
tended to, and on Saturday it will be submitted to a
dutiful convention and accepted without a break in
the programme.
MITCHELL "ARK AS A WED."
The Portland Telogram, an independ
ent paper, says Oregon's hope for a
railroad saams to ba dead. The direct
ors of the Northern Pacific are not dis
posed to build nnder the restrictions as
embodied in the bill which recently
passed the Senate. This is a matter of
great disappointment, and will fall with
severe weight upon the people of our
State. We had hoped that the bill as
passed would be acceptable to the com
pany, and many with us also indulged
in the same hope ; but on mature con
sideration the company have found
themselves unable to build under such
restrictions. Notwithstanding the
strenuous efforts of Senator Grover and
Representative Williams to avert it,
Mr. Mitchell has to all appearances ac
complished his design of euckreing Ore
gon out of a railroad. By his course
he will find himself euchred out of the
Senatorship at the next Legislature.
The Telegram strikes it Whenever
an Arkansaw card-player undertakes to
play a lone hand in euchre and doesn't
make a point they hang him. Mitchell
may count on the same fate for his po
litical neck in June. 1
WHO HAS BXB TUST
We see that somebody has succeeded I
in " horning" McFadden's name off the
Benton County Greenback ticket, for
County Judge, and substituting that of
the Radical nominee, G ingles. We
understand, however, that this is not '
done by anybody's authority who dare
shoulder the responsibility hence we
take it for granted that the Greenback
ers of Benton don't endorse this ticket,
and will rebuke the treachery where
by it was accomplished.
Mr. McFadden is the regular nominee
of the Greenback Convention, and since
he neither declined or in any manner
refused to run oa that ticket, but on
the contrary ia open Convention accept
ed the nomination, we cannot under
stand by what authority any one should
presume to substittte the name of another
person for his.
There ia most outrageous prefidy and
double-dealing here somswhera, and the
honest Greenbackers of Benton county
ought to ferrit it out and bring the
perpetrators to account for it.

Gen. Nesmith was in the city yester
day, returning from a trip up the val
ley, where he is supposed to have done
some effective talking and taken close
observations. He is making a specialty
of Brown and Noltner, as leading can
didates on the Democratic ticket, and
reports their chances as most excellent
for being defeated. That is precisely
our estimate, but the balance of the
ticket must keep them company. &
lem Statesman.
We think it is safe to say that the
above is untrue. Gen. Nesmith, as one
of Oregon's distinguished Democrats,
would not be guilty of this thing, and
the Radical Statesman is doing him b
outrageous injustice in promulgating
such a statement.
Gen. Nesmith will undoubtedly give
the Statesman a severe rebuke at an
early date for its mendacity.
