John Whiteaker bavins pre vailed upon the Committee to report to Congress in favor of an appropria- tion for the improvement of Yaquina Bay, says that "if it proves anything, it simply proves that Mr. White ker's Democratic friends see their chance to keep his vote in the House by a little notice of Oregon affairs just now. Mr. George was so un kind as to make the same charge In his speech here last Saturday. Well gentlemen, we know positively that you are Both incorrect. When Gov. Whiteaker was in our State last he visited both Yaquina and Coquille, and after giving each locality a close inspection, promised to do all that ho could to procure appropriations to aid them. From letters from gentlemen in Washington who arc interested in these localities, we learn that Mr. Whiteaker has worked faithfully as he promised, and as a result we see in the appropriation Lill $10,000 for Yaquina and $!0,000 for Coquille. The Republican newspapers and Mr. George know that their charges are false, but we will net object to them having their own way. The people of this valley want Yaquina Bay ; opened up, and as John Whiteaker is --' r":!y!-ftagif a -procured an appropriation for if, they will re turn him to Congress. OI K LEC1SLATITE TICKET. . There is very little use in our saying mack in regard to our Legislative tick et. They are all well known in our county, four of them having already served this county in the lower house. Mr. Burkbatt and "Mr. Chauiberlam Lave never served in the capacity of Legislators, but it ia a well known fact that they are competent to do so. Mr. Burkbart is one of our leading farmers, a prominent member of the Patrons of Husbandry, antLwill do good work in our Legislature for - the agricultural in terests of the State. One of the best testimonial in Lis favor is the fact that he ww put in nomination by Lis nearest neighbor, Mr. N. Price, who lias lived adjoining him for about thirty years. Mr. Chamberlain is a rlsiug young lawyer, who received his education un der the tutelpge of Gen. Rob't E. Lee. In natural ability Le has no susierior in these parts, and he will make a Repre sentative .f whom this countv well be proud. may lALl'ABLS FCIESUS, . Iiist Saturday's Orejonlan says that "until some of tho professed friends of the Republican candidate for clerk of Linn county began to use the par ty lash on older and better Republi can3 than themselves, he stood a fair show of being elected, but he has been -wounded in tho house of his friends.' " Allow us to correct you not "wounded,", but slaughtered. When the people of this county no ticed that the Mitchell organ over the way had Io3t sight of all other candi dates, and worked alono for the suc cess of Mr..Baum, they knew some thing wa-j wrong. Other Republican candidates felt they were slighted and the consequence is that the stal wart (?) efforts of the, Herald have worked like a boomerang. Stearns, the dapper little gentleman who made such an eloquent appeal to oar citizens to donate $40,000 to the narrow gauge, has fallen out with Eeid, the president of that company, and sued him lor $2400. , Scott, of the Ore.'jo nlan, U Mr. Stearns' uncle, and the way he gives his nephew "lits" is a caution. It looks a- great deal like Scott had rooted' Steams out of tho position he held for the purpose of getting it him self, for a short time ago he was an anti-narrow gange man and now he can't say enough in favor of that sys tem of railroad. Tub' WeeMy Times is the name of a new Republican paper recently started at The Dalles by Marsh & Mitchell. It is neat and newsy, and leaves that old patent Republican blanket,' the Mount aineer, away behind. - hi rn nort: as is the siik dksimib.' The Republicans of Linn county hoie to partially redeem tho county from Dcmocwntic rule next June. The election of their candidates for State Senator aud Sheriff is not improbable. Capt. Humphrey is one ot the most popular men in the county, and will get a large number of Democrat in votes. Ortyonian. The foregoing paragraph repeats in brief the old, old story of the treachery of the Republicans of Linn to a major ity of their candidates. Knowing, as they liavo in tho past, that tho county is fully 300 Democratic, and that noth ing but tho most wholesale swapping, dickering and purchasing can possibly swing in a man from their side, they have for years past resorted to this dodge, with, as a rule; but poor success. Other candidates, who wero to bo. left out in the cold by this species of jerry mandsring, have very naturally revolted at tho trick, and have very rightfully asked why they should not bo entitled to the united vote of their jarty. Hav ing been nominated in tho same Con volition and some of them by a larger vote they dou't understand why they should now be used onlv as so much tradins timber 1 Is it possible that at this time there arc only two thoroughbred Republicans on the track in Linn, and that the other dozen candidates are only scraggy cay uses, placed on the track to make up the rue)! We doubt if tho six candidates for Representatives, tho candidate for County- Judge, for Clerk, for Commia sioners, Treasurer, School Superintend ent, etc., will care to admit such a pro position. Yet this is the inevitable logic of tho Orrjouuing oracular pro- nunciamento, and is unquestionably the programme that is Wing carried out by tho "managers" in Linn. It is natural that the Republicans should do everything ossiblo to elec Capt. Humphrey, as ho would le a hold-over Senator aud would thus have a vote for U. S. Senator in ISS'2, and his single vote might change tho joliti cal complexion of the Superior brand of the National Congress. But are the Republicans so foolish at to suppose that tho Democrats, of Linn cannot see this as well as themselves 1 Why is our party striving no hard this year to secure tho election of a President ! Simply that wo way have control of both the Executive and TsgU!ative brandies ot the uovernmeiit ana re store our country to that jeace, har mony and prosperity that existed prior to tho advent of Radicalism and the corrupt practices which followed its in- traduction and have been the shame of the nation and the concnent cf a world. Do Republicans suppose that Demo crats are thoughtless enough to fritter away even a single chance, by a hingle vote, which would thus endanger this most desired and most glorious of all results 1 Oliver Cosbow is the equal of Capt. Ilnmphrey in intelligence, social stand ing, moral culture and sterling worth, and is entitled to and will receive the full vote of the Democracy of Linn, and will represent our county in the Slate Senate in a manner that' will reflect no discredit upon his constituency and what is of inCnitely great importance, politically, he will vote for a Demo cratic United States Senator in 1 882 ! UB1TEIKFB A VEOKCE. Mr. George charged in Lis speech last Saturday that John Whiteaker had gone before the Appropriation Commit tee and gave them to understand that if they would appropriate a small sum of money for Yaquina Bay he would be returned to Congress. We would like to ask you a question, Mr. George. If you had been a Mem- ler of Congress and had gone lefore that Committee with the samo request, how much money woulJ you Lave pro cured! Whiteaker secured a report in favor of $40,000 ; could yon havo done so well? This valley wants an appropria tion from Congress for Yaquina Bay, and if Whiteaker can get it for na he is our man. It matters not to us whether he gets it by his own jicrsonal popular ity, or by showing up the advantages and resources of the locality -in ques tion. What we want is the appropria tion which will give us a short road to the sea. . o, i Kr So "Old Probabilities," of the Qrejo uian, prognosticates the election of the Radical candidate for Sheriff in Linn ! Why, even the Mitchell Forj-Jforn up street never, thought of claiming such an absurdity ! If Ike Miller don't wollop the slow old coach to tho tune of about 350 ma jority every intelligent voter in Linn will be egregiously surprised ! SBBBB.Baaaaaaaaaaaaaa J1K. BASSETT DEf'MSC. IIalsey, Or May ll, 1880. I "hereby announce to tho voters of Linn - county that I am not a candi date for County Commissioner, or any other; office, on the Greenback ticket, or any ticket, my name hav ing been used without my knowl edge or consent, ; A. S. Bassf.tt. We hope the question ol the removal of the county seat in Polk will not cre ate sufficient discord in the Democratic ranks to cause them to lose any of their candidates. They have nut a snlendid ticket in the field, and no Democrat should so far forget himself as to let a local question turn him from his duty in voting the straight ticket. mr. (.toner rt:('n. Hon. M. C. George, Republican can didate for Congress, arrived herefrom Southern Oregon last Saturday noon, and shortly after I o'clock addressed a largo assemblage of people at the Court House. Arrangements had been made to havo him answered by one of our Democratic speakers, but he refused to divide time with any one, and wo now believe it waa well that ho did so, for we have never heard n public speaker who made moro 'openings for homo thrusts from the opposition than lie did ast Saturday. Particularly was it the case when his lemutks relate! to tho improvement of Yaquina Bay. By ids own argument he proved conclusively that if .that locality had no natural ad vantages whatever Gov. Whiteaker could secure an appropriation for it on tho strength of his own personal popu larity in Congress. Wo are very much obliged to Mr. George for this little Wliitcaker boom. Mr. Guorgo is a calm, deliberate and easy talker, and rather of thcApplcgate stripe in regard to tho length of his wind, which ena bled him to deliver his speech ami then repeat it two or throe, times before he gavo out, which was some two hours and a half after ho commenced. Tak ing it all in all, it was a good aversgc Republican Secch ; it did no great harm in patticular to the Republican cause, and probably did not cuuso Mr. Whiteaker to gnin over from ten to fif teen votes, iuo tacts in the caso are just these : Many Republicans in the Willamette Valley have already made up their miods to give their support to Hou. John Whiteaker, and they will not change, for they know it would be Against the best interests of the country to do so. No Congressman has ever done this valley any good except to have our river rleurrd out oneo in awhile. We now Lave a Congressman from tho Willamette Valley, and Le Las secured for us just what we have lieeo pray ing for. The amount of the appro priation is small, but it is a wedge, and Whiteaker has st Tied it and we want to keep him there ommeIiug away until we have that bur removed. Mr. George promised that be would do all ho couh in the samo direction, and wo honestly believe he would, but wo do not kqow what be could accomplLdi. He Li un tried, while our picsent Congressman Las been tried and found not wanting, Voters, the interests of this valley are at stake, and you are asked to choose between terUilntj aud tif"jiy, Ponder on I ho question, c!l lcfore you vote. ! . i TUB BlVtt OBClt. Some thought wo might be wrong when we charged that tho young iinmi grauta over the way were sent hete by tho Mitchell crowd to leach Repub licans of Linn county how to vote, but now the Orrjcniian comes out in its issue of last Monday and gives them a severe chastising for the same reason. The editor of that sheet knows that the Steel family, loth body and soul, is owned by Mitchell, and he can use them in any way Lo sees fit. W. G. Steel, a brother of Geo. A. Steel, the old Postal Agent, is the real head of the Herald,- but knowing that name would not take well with the jeople of this county it is made the last of the three in the firm name. Also tho name of R. L. Barnes is run up as editor, when Steel has mentioned on Clio street several times that he furnished the brains of the es tablishment, and had only taken Barnes and Pottinger in to do the work. Of course it woidd not do for Steel to let the public know that he is owned by the man of "youthfurindiscretions,' that party is not worshipped to any great extent by the Republicans of this county, so for awhile he laid low, but now the cloven foot is showed in almost every insae of the paper. JIDI.E BOISE. J udge Powell, of this city, sent word to Judge Boise by at least two different persons that if I To (Boise) would be candidate before tho Convention for Judge of this District, he (Powell) would not enter the field. In hot cases Boise staled that ho would net run for that office, and on these grounds Judge Powell consented to allow Lis friends to proiose his-name. After li was defeated in getting tho nomination for Supreme Judge, Boise forgot all about his pledges, and coming out for Circuit Judge defeated Mr. Powell Such duplicity as this does not look well in any one, but in a' Circuit Judge it would be a great crime. Our people will remember this little pieco of chi canery on the part of Judge Boise. Any one who can stoop to such low acts to secure a nomination for office, docs not deserve the votes of any class but crim inals. . : , We aue extremely glad to hear that our candidate for County Judge, L. Bil yeu, Esq., is so popular with' our peo ple, but we are not at all -surprised, for all wh.0 become acquainted with Lim are forced to admit that the financial affairs of the county will be in good hands when he. is elected. lie is a bright and well-educated young lawyer; has had considerable experience in pro bate matters, and will mete out justice to all after he receives his certificate 'of election. , ' Postmastee General Ket has in formed a Pacific Coast delegation that ho has decided not to interfere with the letter-carrying business of Wells', Fargo & Co.

But that office in this caio is of too tuuel iniortance to Lcatow uin a Repub lican, even if he is a fiiend aud a "jolly good follow.' Our now Senator will have a vote for United States Senator, and that is a sufficient reason for every Democrat to vote against Capt. Hum pbrey.

Basselt as a candidate for County Coram!- sloncron tho Greenback ticket, his name having been placed on that ticket without his consent. Mr. Bas- sett is a thorough Democrat, and was onco elected to tho position of County; Commissioner by his party, and dur ing his terra of oflico gavo universal satisfaction. Like about half the en tiro party In the Western States his views in regard to flnanco are partly in sympathy with the - National Greonback party, but as ho knows that party cannot succeed, he pro poses to stick to tho old Democratic ship until sho safely enters port next November.' No moke important ollice lies in tho gift of the people than that of Assessor, and for that position tho Democratic party have nominated a man in every way qualified to attend to the duties devolving upon that officer. Hiram Williams, of Scio, ho$ acted as popujiy Assessor several times, and by experi ence has learned how to make a fair as sessment of tho property in our county. If he is elected (which he certainly will be) the County C'ouit will have very little equalizing'" to do. AlOV. WUITBAKBB'S AC KITA fc.

Some considerable time, we judge, and yet according to Repub lican logic wo could not expect another appropriation until ho Bhould attain that point. " . Wolvehton wouldn't accept the nomination to the Legislature to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of A. Brandon, and so an old faimer named Wm. Davis,living at Peoria, was thrown in tho breach. .We understand Steel wanted it, but as the course taken by his paper and some other objectionable Republicans was the cause of Brandon's withdrawal, it was thought best to keep him on a back seat. In almosx every one of the late Re publican State Conventions in the Eas,t they havo had a row, and several times the police have had to be called in to quell the riot. COSTKntTIBLE. . The Oregoniun of the 5th inst. con tains a very contemptible article In re lation to the report of the grand jury in the cue of Jas. H. Turner. Capt: N. B.

" Tiie Democratic State Convention in Ohio last week instructed their dele gates to the .National Convention to present the name of Allen G. Thurman as a candidate for President of the United States. No greater, 'purer or better inan poulj be found for the posi tion. . : The Lee has been closed out and is now owned by the type and paper firm of Miller & Richards. 1I0BATIO SEVHOI S'S VIEW. .Governor Seymour lately gave nt considerable length, n frank and dis- passionate review of tho political hit- uat ion, which from Mie proininem-o given his name in connection wiili tho Democratic nomination must bo of special Interest and Importance, From his retired elevation he surveys- tho whole field of politics even as hi stately mansion on Dcerfield bills overlooks fho noblo valley of the Orlskany. As tho General watching n, n,.i.t r !h! frr,m ,un .,. . tin hill top knows hotter tho pro-peel-i cf victory Ihan lo the combatants them- selves, so does the Sago of Deerfidd, away from tho smoke and din of the watt Jo-held, olwervo conditions of tho slrugglo which escape th ; eye that is blinded by tho passion of the h :ur or "e smoke and dust of the field. as to uincinnau, liovernor hy inOUT bblicVC.3 the action of tin' Diin- ocrafkr National Convention wiil Ik; "shaped by tho course of event, and j,arU,,u,ar!y ,,y (ho -a,llon t(f lh(, puUIcan Convention." But .. Dorks r.itic lciriv. nor" nnd tUerp. U a Ji!iH-iiiilke!i tugniHcnnco ii the words havo tkse fqioken of in connect Ion with tho nomination f.sr President clearly made' up I heir miiid.4 that they wish fo U put upon tho ticket." Gov. Seymour allusion to the condition of tho party in Win own State will command a special inter est. Tho differences there are "drift ing int.-i the j-if, and nro getting Ix hirid th.) icirty in it course in tlie future. On ih other haml.ihe iu ir- rel amoiu the Republican are brrak- hig ;ut all along the pathvjy l-fre them." The quarrels among the Re publicans ate "among young ami ac tive men," and aro likely, therefore, to liit. Democratic quarrtS:ire over old men who "will all pass away i-.i two or three ycar-j at the inoHt." What folly, therefore, to continue them ! Tho Governor refer sadly m hht 3wn experience in csjtousing tho quarrel of old men. The men died, luf the quarrel survived, and "the wounds received rankle to tni day, ana the animosities engendered.iiiany of them, have never been f-rn " or allayed." It L foolish for young men," continues Governor Seymour, "to waste t heir tiruo In quarreliii over or ef-pooing the cause -f old men." . M-y we hope the young icen of tho Democratic party will heed th wi3e.dmonIlion ? 'Gov. Syihour does not thiuk much of 'plan' for uniting the party in Xcw York. The parly "must grow together i'i natural way?," be nays. Ile has no confidence in the efficacy of "concrence and contrivances," and for reason? which ho slat? brief ly but forcibly. Gov. fJeymour favor sending to Cincinnati an unnledseo delegation tro,n hL own" Stale. He would se- lect a delegates "fair and able men. - . . . i wh wiil has'e m view the promoticu romotiou , of peace and good will," and m hofo efforts will be "to learn the state of public feeling and to shapo their ac tion in ii way to promote the true in terest of those they represent." 'TIP Democrats must," says Gov. Sty- mour. "nominato for President foiuo man upon whom they can unite." Tho Nestor of the Democracy, lov ing his party and 1U principles, ad dresses these words of counsel lo hi fellow Democrat. of hi State and the nation, Shall they not be heeded? Dorer Prv,si, Fkom every precinct in the cenrty ' wa Lear encouraging rejxrts. Our ticket givca splendid ratisfaction, acd will receive almost the entire snppoit of the arty. Of course there are always j "sorehead" in the party, but thU Tear they aro few in number, and tho perT sonajl opu!arity of tho men they op- I pose w)U a sreat deal nitre than ylset their work. Tun sympathy dodge won't work in this county any more, and Albert tJm phrey hi sure to bo elected Taurer. Mr. Bruco is a good man, and a cripple, but that is no reason why Democrats should drop iheir candidate and vote fur a Republiean.
