Fellaw Democrats of Linn ! We are notified through, the press in both Uma tilla and Jackson counties, that the Democracy of each of those counties expect to give a greater majority at our coming election than ia given in our county, and that therefore one or both of them wilt claim the proud distinction which we have enjoyed, almost " from time immemorial, of being the Banner Democratic Cocxty of Oreoox ! Will the gallant and heretofore in vincible Democratic hosts of Old Linn permit this challenge to go by unan swered! Will thty stand indiHeiemly by, and, trailing their proud banner in the dust, quietly surrender it to these proud boasters in the East and South t We think we hear the echo than- dcred back from the summit of the Cas cade Range to the waters of the "Bright Willamette" Xo ! A thousand times, NO ! The Banner of Linn shall not be surrendered shall not be trailed in the dust shall not be carried off by the Democratic spoilers who thus tioldly threaten the pride of our laniparts, the glory of our citadel ! The seventh of next month the clans will gather from The Forks to the prairies, from the Mountain House in the Cascades to here the Calapoois's waters mingle with those of the Wil lamette and the majority that will be rolled tip for every man on the ticket, from Congiessman Whiteaker down to "finis," will so astound our bold clial lengers that they will never again have the audacity to threaten us with such a calamity ! BAUM ! TBS MODEL TEVTEEAME C13BIOATC It will be remembered that the Re publican Convention which nominated Baum for County Clerk adopted- unani tpoitsly n strong temperance resolution and it was fully understood that every candidate) nominated in that body stood pledged to-support that resolution, both in spirit and letter ; but now we have it from reliable authority that M r. Banm in no way respects that resolution, but has his hired emissaries doling out whisky to voters in hope of thus secur ing their support ! A case in point is in the village of Sweet Home, where free drinks are handed about and openly and brazenly proclaimed to be "Baum whisky !" Even not content with doling out this stuff to full-grown men, it has been known to be given to minors a most reprehensible act both in the light of the law and all order-loving people. If this is the manner in which Re publican candidates respect and support the platform of the party and the views of ita member, then all the boasted temperance pledges of their conven tions are simply so much clap-trap and pettifogging humbuggery, designed only as a bait to catch the moral support of the community. Who will believe in the sincerity or honesty of the Republicans of Linn, if after hearing this they should persist in supporting this man for office! No sincere, honest, conscientious man can have either respect for or confidence in any further pledge which they may make on the temperance question if they should succeed in electing a man who thns shows himself so glaringly unworthy of their confidence or votes. THE POLITICAL HIE BIBROS. Some of the Republicans are trying to make the blue ribbon movement work in their favor, and want all mem bers of that organization to vote for Capt. Humphrey. We simply have this to say to Democratic members of those clubs : O. P. Coshow is our can didate for Senator, and he has been a life-long Democrat and total abstinence temperance man. Capt. Humphrey is the Republican candidate. .Since his residence in Oregon, part of the time he has been a'temperance man, but the greater part of the time lie has not been. His last signing of the pledge was about a year ago, ana since that time he has kept it closely. But one thing looks badly for him ; we see several promi nent Democratic anti-temperance men in this city working for him. How is this 1 Can a man serve both Cod and D'.ammonf Can a man run on a plat form in favor of a prohibitory liquor law and still get the wbiaky vote. Whisky and. blue ribbons do not work well together. Something is wrong here. ' Now, temperance men, who will yoa reward with your vofcesa man who has always been a teetotaler, or a man whoso total .abstinence oijy reaches back a little over one year 1 Answer on election day. " BETTF.lt AND BETTEK. The gallsnt Democracy of Ilarris- "burg Precjnct are united to a man, and we are promised a stupendous majority from that always reliable section of the county. Let the good, work move sol idly forward, and we'll see whether or not those "sassy" fellows up in Uma tilla and out in Jackson will Jug off our Banner! UAMA.!tl STATEMENTS. As a proof of the fact that Baum's chances are becoming alamt desperate we reprint the following affidavit which appeared in the Herald of last weak: State or Oregon, 1 County of Linn, 8H' I, B. M. Savage, being duly sworn according to law, do dopowe and say that I am a practising physician team ing in the city of Albany, Linn county, Oregon ; that on or about the 1 3th day of October, 1879, 1 wrote a prescription for a 'lady residing in the aforesaid county, of which the following is a true copy, to-wit : y. Sulpb., gr. KU. Amnion. Glychrra., li drachms. Klix. Simplex, 8 oat. Sig. Dose, tablespoonful every three tours between chills until broken, then three times a day. That I am informed and believe that in the afternoon of said day the above prescription was placed In the hands of V. I. Mason to be tilled. Before filling the same the said D. P. Mason came to my office and inquired concerning the chemical preparation in said prescription set forth aa ammon. lychrrz., saying he never had teen such a compound, and did not have it in Lis store, and on being informed .by me that it could be obtained from wholesale druggists and at one of the other drug stores in the city, he left my office, say ing be would go to one of the other stores and procure the article, and fill the prescription as directed. That thereafter, on personal examination of the medicine represented to have been prepared from said prescription by the d IX ir. Mason, 1 found it to not con tain the chemical preparation indicated in said prescription, bat other ingredi ents, ana on inquiry of the saia 1). Jr. Mason he informed me that be had sub stituted for the aromoniacalglychrrbitin, aqua ammonia (hartshorn) and pulver ized liquorice root, forming an entirely different compound, and one which would have had an entirely different eflect tqiqn my patient, had it been given. That the aaid D. F. Mason in formed uo lie prepared said medicine himself. That I believe no one elite connected with the drug store of Fo shay L Mason to have had anything to do with compounding the aloreaaid pre scription. That my timely discovery of the matter preventea the lady trom taking the medicine as directed in the aforesaid piesci iption, and that I be lieve the medicine as prf)ared by the said D. P. Mason would have proved highly injurious to my patient, bbould she have been so unfortunate as to have taken it. Dn. B. M. Savage. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 18th day or May, 1880. . 1 T. P. Hacklkmax, " -I Notary Public for Oregon. This affidavit was sworn to by Dr. B. M. Savage, a young man of very lim ited practice, and we wish our readers to compare it with the following, which is signed by all the old and well known physicians of Albany : Albaxt, Or., May 25, 1SS0. To tciom it may concern : This is to certify that we are prac ticing physicians in Albany and regular graduates in our profession ; that we have hail prescritions compounded by D. P. Maaon, of the firm of Foshay d Mason, during the ast two years, and believe him to be a competent and relia ble druggist, and aa such take pleasure in recommending him to the public generally. W. F. Alexander, M. I).,' II. J. Bouciitox, M. I., J. A. Davis, M. D., C. a Kelly, 31. D., J. L. Hill, M. D. liiese physicians are all fully ac quainted with the circumstances of the case set forth in Savage's " damaging statement," and all examined the pre scription pnt up by Mr. Msnob, and still they persist in saying that they "be lieve him to be A comjtrtent arid vl'tahh dnuj'jiat." The facts of the case are these : Dr. Savago prescribed quinine for Lis pa tient, and the other ingredients w.ere simply to disguise the taste of the bitter drug and make the taste more palatable for the patient. Not Laving the exact ingredients mentioned Mr. Mason used some other simple and harmless prepa ration to disguise the taste of the qui nine. Dr. Savage says this was wrong and that it put the life of Lis patient in jeopardy, while the other physicians claim the contrary and say that the pre scription as put up by Mr. Mason could not ios8ibly harm any one. Now, readers, you have the facta in the case, and the matter Las resolved itself down to simply a difference of opinion on a medical question. 'On one side a young snd inexperienced pLysi cian takes the affirmative of a proposi tion, and the negative is upheld by five well known physicians, some of whom have practiced for thirty or forty years. There will be very little trouble, we think, in our readers solving this ques tion to their own satisfaction, and they cannot help remembering the one whom Baum has made a tool of in thus try ingr to bread discord in the Democratic ranks. . THE VAUll.t A BAJt. If the bar at J. he mouth of Yaquina Bay is removed we have every reason to believe that a railway will be built from some point on the Pacific Railroad up through Idaho 'and tlten almost on a direct line through Eastern Oregon to Yaquina Bay. To do this it will have to pass through either the Minto pass or that in use by the Lebanon mount ain road. Nothing would help us go saucb as this road, and nothing will bring the road but the improvement of Yaquina Bar, The best way to secure it is to vote for Whiteaker. Almost every candidate for Congress baa prom ised us to procure appropriations for Yaquina Bay, but their promises were never iiilfilled until Whiteaker w'ent back to Washington. By reference to another article it will be seen that the bill appropriating $40,000 for'Yaquina Bay has been put through the House, Our people should reward " Honest John" by giving him a rousing vote. tat FMAKtlAL COSDITIO. A VttlMbl LrHrr aa Stair Flaanrea- I'nrU aad flgurr asrpHltllma l.lr Kallrd. Editor Democrat! , There is very much said about the Gnancial condition of this State. A stranger, to read tho Republican papers, would arrive at the conclusion that this State is In debt several millions, most of which waa stolen by its officers and retainers. All this stufT will do for the braren faced politician, but the farmers want the facts in the case. The reports show that during the time Governor G rover was in office, the levy for cur rent expenses was four mills on the dol lar. The revenue derived was about $1C0,000 per annum. This carried the expenditure for tho Insane Asylum, Penitentiary, Legislative, and all other current expenses. The Insane Asylum alone carried an anuual expense of over $CO,000. Then thcru was the building of the Penitentiary, f 150,000. The annual expense of the Penitentiary is not quite as largo as that of the Asy lum. The patients and prisoners in creasing rapidly caused additional ex pense, so that, taking the different de partments, the sum raised for current expenses wss insufficient to pay off these large sums for buildings and im provementa. By great economy and caro the State was prevented from going into debt beyond her ability to meet her obligations in a reasonable length of time. We will give some of the facts in re gard to these accounts and their present condition. Aside from an annual demand of money for current expenses we mention the following sums that accumulated against the State : IMsk Bands f Modoo War Bood. Waxon Road War'nta(waiiip I'd) 200.000 140,1 1 40,000 PenileiiUarr BulldlnK... IM.0C0 Simla GapUol Building... Oulxtsndlna: Warrant,. a.,ooo axi,oo War of 1877-78. a. 40,000 Total tl.120,00 How easy it ia to make these figures, and we might add to them still further. While they are true, the State met her indtbtodneas as fast as she could. How does this affect the State t We will answer the question. We may add to the above the $30,000 tug sub sidy at Astoria, and the several thous ands of dollars for colleges, schools, Centennial Commissioner, etc., all abso lutely necessary and valid claims against tho Stat. It is alleged that the Dem ocratic State officers contracted these debts, but the debt! themselves show that they were brought into existence by the Legislature, and when this was don no pioviaion was made by the Legislature to pay them, save perhaps in one instance. Hence they accumu lated, and were put in the current ex pense fund to bo carried. In 187C the Legislature provided an additional levy of three per cent, to meet that portion which had not been provided for. The case a it is now is aa follows: The payment of the small amount of Sol dierV Bounty and Relief Bonds are provided for, so they will no longer fig ure as a debt. The TiOck Bonds, now amounting to $160,000, are to be paid aa by law provided, and that is out of the internal improvement land, and the 5 ier cent. fund. That is not a debt to be paid by taxation. The Modoc Bonds amount to $ 1 32,8:13 70. This debt the General Government will pay. There waa a bill that abed the House, intro duced by Hon. L. F. Lane, providing for the payment of this debt, or a audi cient amount of it to warrant the bal ance. The report of the investigating committee, though false, concerning this debt knocked further legislation in the head. There ia no doubt but that Con gress will pay the debt iton futtber showing. The War Bonds of 1877-78 stand in the same relation as the Modoc Bonds. This debt will be paid by Con gress. - Then we have the Swamp Land Warrants, amounting to $138,000, to be paid out of the swamp, tide and other lands, and the five per cent. fund. This debt ia provided for. And Lad the Legislature of 1878 authorized the selling of these lands absolutely as it should Lave done al ono dollar per acre, these warrant would all Lave been paid by this time, and a surplus would be in the Treasury to be applied to other sources. This was recommend ed by the outgoing Governor. He took the ground that the grant was without conditions and the Legislature could authotize the landa to be sold at once, giving legal authority for Lis opinion, Recently we see by the dispatches that Secretary Schurz Las decided that the grant is wjt&out conditions, the title being yp&ed in the State at once when the grant was made, thus fully sustain ing all the State ha heretofore done to save the grant. This decision would justify the action of the Legislature Lad a bill passed directing the unconditional sale of these lands. Then we have the last item to mention. .Of the amount that the .three per cent. Jevy was to liquidata there will not be at the end of this fiscal year over $30,000 left. Here is the actual indebtedness of the State of Oregon. Aside from this floating debt she is not in debt to exceed $30. 000. Iftat Stale in t1.e Union can sfaw such a record f It will not be se riously contended that Gov. Grover built the State House, Penitentiary, carried on the Modoc war, etc., all alone, or that these acts were illegal, Because' Lis administration was a live one it was not dishonest nor reckless These debts were contracted by the Legislature and no provision made to pay them without taxation, except the sum of $30,000. To an immigrant thia- is a better towing, not only because it Is true, but becauso the popular false statements made to blacken the character of public officer also injures the State. Whn the demagogue tells Li story that thia State, ia groaning under an enormous debt contracted by Democratic officials illegally, corruptly and piratically, he deserves the scorn and contempt of hon est, candid citizens. Still this dema gogue is quite numerous' just now. But io truth will prevail. ' LINN COUNTY. LET ETjKKIBODW VTC FK Jl'l(JK If AM a SKY. There aVe many reason why the eo- pie of Linn county should give Mr, lamsey a large majority over Boise. Boise is over sixty -one years olJ, and he ha become very rusty in the law! He i not a student, and this fact will satisfy ever; lawyer that he W not the person for Judge of this District. No person can be a good Judge without being studious and industrious. Boise's roost intimate friends Lave remarked during tho last two years that he is rap- dly failing in these- respects. No law yer who is acquainted with Mr. Ram sey has doubted Li ability or fitness for the position. In the prime of life, studious and energetic, he is just the person to elect. A we stated laat week, the Albany bar unaninwvely pe titioned Gov. Thayer to appoint him instead of Judge Harding, and this pe tition was concurred in by roost of the attorney in the District. This indorse ment of Judge Ramsey's qualifications and fitnes for the place abundantly es- tablishe Li claims to the suffrage of th people. 'Every man knows that a person in the prim of life can deapatch business much morn rapidly than aa old man like Boise. These facta are suffl cient to justify the jHsople in defeating Boise, and there are other reasons why he should be defeated. It is well known that Le pro tubus! Judge Powell and bis friend that Le would not be candidate for District Judge, and would not accept the nomination, but in vio lation of Li promise he was a candi date and accepted the nomination. Now, we aak any honorable man, Low can. Boise accept that nomination in violation of LI aoleuin promise with out being guilty of a positive falsehood e ask the people of all parties to unite in defeating Lint by a large ma jority. I .- J... J L.J CAST FILL TSIE FFMC Is last week' II trail appeared an affidavit from Dr. U. M. Savage, who tried to show that D. P. Mawn was incompetent to fill a rood leal pre scription. It prolbly has never oc curred to the astute doctor that being a first elaas druggist Is not one of tbe qualifications required of a County Clerk. Masou might retaliate by getting aoroe one whom Baum has dealt too cloaely with, to swear that Mr. B. I not honest, but Mr. Mason Li too much of a gentleman to act In any auch manner. Any ono who 1 acquainted with Mr. Mason knows perfectly well that ho will make a good clerk, being competent In every way to 1111 tho position he seeks. Can you say as much for Mr. Baum ? We wish it distinctly understood that we have nothing whateror to say against his personal characterwe leave such 'dlrt allnglog" as that to blm and his personal organ, and few vindicative, jealous, personal enemies of Mr. Mason who disgrace our party by beine connected with it. We do say, and aro able to pove, that Mr. Baum U totally Incompetent to fill the position of clerk of such a county as Lion. lie can neither write nor speak the English language correctly, and his official documents (especially those that were not copied from es tablished forms) would provoke laughter from whoever read them. It Is not to his discredit that such Is the case, for be Is a foreigner by birth and education, and has not yet had time to perfect himself In our languige. But it would not be best to allow him to perfect his knowledge of composition by the practice he would receive la doinfr the clerical business of pur county. riPCB-S STILE OF ELJttTieJEEBIVG, We are informed that it is reported in Polk county, and ia generally be lieved, that Mr. Piper was so popular in Linn that Le came within thirty or forty voles of beating Hon. John II. Smith for State Senator two year ago Thia is an outrageous falsehood I The official voto qf that election shows that Smith received 1,333 vote and Piper received 1,120 votes giving Smith a majority over Piper of 2jl 3. H Mr. Piper and Lis friends rely on such bare faced canards as this ,ta,'boost him into office they surely miatajce the temper of the honest voters of thia Dis trict. ' BACM'made a sad mistake when he prevailed upon that weak-brained doc tor to go into tho affidavit business. Every jhonorable gentleman despises a person who- will stoop so low as to preyall .yppn any one to put tnem selves in such a Mght before the peo ple as did this young: doctor. Ir O. T. Coshow js ejected, "his vote will be cabt for some tried and true Democrat for U. S. Senator. II Caot. Humphrey la elected, ''ho wil he vote for.

Our people want to know, you ' know o - o ONLY &3.GQO 1 now is thin r BKinEBV n roKBtrriavi 'Tr" With the downfall of the Holladey Mitchell dynasty in Oregon it was Loped by all honest citizens that our Stat Lad witnessed the departure of the corrupt and damnable methods by which that infamous gang Lad secured their brief lease of power in this State, and that thereafter wt should have only honest elections and an unpurchased re sult. However flattering this ho, and however desirable its accomplishment, it seams that our fteoplo are already doomed to . disapoiritmeiit. There is no doubt that the old corrupt methods of tbe party are being resorted to, and that, too, right here in Linn county. We do not write unadvisedly on this subject, for we Lave it from more than one reliable aource that five llwutand dollart was sent fiom Portland to prominent Linn Radical last week, to be used in bribing voters and thus se curing our county to the Radicals 1 Efforts are being made by prominent Democrats to sift thia matter to the very bottom, and if the facta as stated to us can be substantiated eomebody will be " smoked out " tar their sorrow. This is a most wriou matter to th voter of Linn, and it should be most carefully inquired into. It ia moat shameful that old gray- Laired men, wLo Lad Leretofore born good leputationa ia our community, should not only countenance this gross aaaault on the freedom of the Fallot bat should absolutely receive acd dis burse the feal bribery fund t TBI ew K4.ua AKikirr.

In 1874, when Judge Boise was run ning with the Independent party be made a speech at Marion Square, in Sa lem, where Le gave utterance to the fol lowing : "The Republican I -ally has outlived its uaefulaas. It is corrupt and rotten to th core. It is a stench in the nos trils of alt honest men, and I thank God that I Lav got rid of it. It ia like an old worn-out cannon, which af ter bevng fired off many time, exploded and nothing was left but the touch hole." How will old-Hue Republicans like that t A bio, Low will they get over the fact that he simply went completely back on Li promise to J udge Powell t I auch a man fit for Judge 1 TBAT SiBBaUfBACK IETII. The Herald In tlmates that ourcan- dldate for Sheriff at one time paid off a note In greenbacks when they wero worth probably not more than 00 or 70 cents on the dollar. Well, thai fa so. At one time ho acted as agent for An other man, and according to instruc tions paid off a note for him in green backs. Mr. Miller himself has not been In the habit of giving notes to any one, and neve, owed a farthing to the man who received the green backs from blm. Such ailly falsehoods as we now hear against some of our candidates can only emenate from men of depraved character. The Radical of JJultnouiah county last Tuesday nominated the following ticket : For Stat Senator J. Simon and A. V. Water ; for Representa tive F. Payne, F. E. Meyer, O. P. S. Plummer, W. S.

The farmers will also be called upon to answer a number of qucstlonB,and should bo prepared before hand, so as not to delay tbe enumerators. Far mers will be questioned upon tho fol lowing points: "llowmuch you had In 1878 in acres and bushels of wheat, and not a toe: how many bushels or peas and hearts; tho number of acres and vakie of products oi orcnarus, vineyards and small frulfe; nunfber of acres and tons of hemif and hay; bushels of clover, flax and grass seed; acres and pounds of hops and flax; the number of hives of bees, and the number of pounds of honey and bees wax, sugar cane acres, hogsheads of sugar anu gauons oi moiasse;; sor ghumacres, pound of sugar and gallons of molinso". Of the crop of the calendar year 1880, the officers will want the number of fleeces and pounds of wool, pound of maple su gar and gallons of moUsscs. Of the yield during the 12 months from June 1, 1879, to may SI, 1880, he will want poundaof butler and cheec, gallon of milk sold, value of animal-) slaughtered, value of products and acres of market garden", value of fur- est product, valuo of homo manufac tories. These statistics aro Impor tant as showing tho growth of the country, and should bo carefully pre pared by pur farmers, with a view of getting them a near correct as poeil ble. A LIB SAILED. Some oco basbeencirculatnigthere port through tbo county that O. P. Cofthow, our candidate Or State Sen ator, bad refused to vote fur Hon. L. F. Lano tot the reason that he was Roman Catholic. ThAre never was a greater falsehood. He not only voted for La Fayette Lane at the poils, but voted for him in tbo State Conven lion when he ascertained thero was no show for his first choice. No man in our county can show a dearer Democratic record than O. P. Cos- bow; no man standi higher in the estimation of hU own fellow citizens than he does, and if elected, which he certainly will be, our county will bo represented by an honorable, up right conscientious gentleman, who will always be found working in th Interests of our people.
