lion. Jefferson Myers Position. May 13, 1806. That Old Indictment. We have received the following letter one from Captain James Blakeley, oi Brownsville.' Captain Blakeley baa resided in Brownsville for fifty years, and formerly represented Linn county in the legislature. The other letter is from Mr. Henry Blakeley, the democratic nominee foi sheriff. The light thrown on this in dictment affair ends, just as people who knew Henry Blakeley declared it would do, that is in his vindication. The let- - ters are as follows : Brownsville Ok., May 18, 1896. Editor Democrat : . i desire to state that when my son Henry was a younglman he was engaged in caring for a band of my cattle in Urn tilla cbnnty Oregon. There was an in dictmebt procured ajrainet him by false testimony. The cattle which the indict ment charged Henry of stealing turned out to be my own cattle, branded with " my brand. My son on hearing of the indictment voluntarily went to Pendle- ' don and gava bond to answer the charge. There being absolutely no foundation in tact for the indictment my son was . promptly discharged. The story being told that I paid money to procure hip ' discharge is a malicious falsehood. never directly or indirectly paid one cent to procure his discbarge, and never heard of such a thing, until lately. He was discharged because he was innocent ana tne district &t:orney so stated in open court. James Blakklbv. . jBBowssnixc Or., May IS, 1S96. Thelllerald'a malicious and untruth ful statement in its columns of the 17th 1 instantthat I have been dodgiDg to keep out of the penitentiary ia a malicious falsehood aud libel, Nearly a quarter of century ago I was herding cattle for my father James Blakeley in Umatilla coun ty, Oregon. An enemy while 1 was ab sent from Umatilla county, managed to. procure an indictment against me, faisely alleging that I had stolen some cattle-G The cattle alleged to have been stolen tamed out to be my fathers cat- tie and were each of them branded with my fathers brand. As soon as I heard of the indictment and without waiting to.be arrested I voluntarily went to Pen dleton and gave bonds to answer to the charge. The officers were thoroughly satisfied that the indictment was ma licious and without any foundation in ' fact. The district attorney in open court announced to the court that he bad investigated the matter and that he was satisfied that I was innocent of the com mission of any offense and voluntarily upon his motion in open court the case against me was dismissed. The man instrumental in securing the indictment against me was arres'ed for stealing, convicted and sentenced to the peniten tiary. ; ; I was born and raised in Brownsville, was never sued and have never sued any one. I was maliciously made a party to the indictment abjve referred to, an aweredit without being arrested, and my innocence theieof vindicated have never dodged any ofSoer, and never at any time had reason to fear the pen itentiary, nor any otter punishment. have always made my word as good as my written obligation. J t . cannot be lieve that my f rien-la ani"acquintances in Linn county. believe in or take any slockin the slanderous falsehoods of tnose who go back a quarter of a century to dig. up a malicious indictment pro cured by perjury. My life has been as an open book to hundreds ot the people - ot Lann county and those who know me i ... oesi, my neigtioori are my, warmest supporters. I here promise the voters Ot Unn county that if elected to the office of sheriff I will boceetly and fear lessly do my whole duty. Hejtbt Blakblet. Speaking of the dedication services of the new woolen mill at Salem, the States man says: Hon J K Weatherford, of Albany, was then introduced to the host of people awaiting the farther develop ment of the program, and for half an hour he talked in a "happy, congratula tory, pushing, enerftetic and inspiring strain, that at times was almost prophet ic of the bright future of the city that encouraged and maintained such enter prises as the one whose inauguration they were celebrating. He paid high tribute to the community, impulse and individual courage that made such ven tures possible and profitable. He did not forget to show in well calculated words the wonderful possibilities of the great Willamette 7alley and declared that next to her enormous productive resources as a farming country the next greatest item of inexhansiible wealth lay in her superb water powers and factory facilities- Indeed, the honorable gen tleman's findings were-very much more appreciable in the detail as he nnfolded them on the rostrum than any general mention here can make them, but it is enough to say that his address was al together worthy the close attention and prolonged applaase which it received at the handi of this, the biggest audience that baa been assembled under one roof in Salem for many a' long year. Salem Or., roTua Public: I have received many letters since my congressional nominatidh as to my posi tionon the political quietions of the present day. My impression is, that the first and paramount question to be considered is the "financial question," and I believe there should be do doubt expressed to the voters on this: no straddle," but an absolute pooit'on on one side or the other. . When a majority of the voters believe in certain viewa, they are certainly en titled to a representative to txpress their views In the representative part of the government. First: On the "financial question,"! am in favor of the free and unlimited coinage ot gold and eilver, independent of any foreign powe.r, into standard money, at the ratio of 16 to 1, and upon terms of exact equality, as they existed prior to 1873. The silver to be a full legal tender, equal with gold for all debts and dues public and private, and I am opposed to any discrimination by the government against either gold, silver or currency ot tne country, and that all money shall be equal at all times. Second: I , believe that the "tariff question" should be considered aa a business proposition, and aa we deal with it locally in every day life, and there is no question but that we receive a bene fit by the proper kind of tarff, outside of the government lax, but ihtre certain ly should at all times- be conditions that will protect the producer to the fullest extent, as it does the mannfac urer and business man, and this ?a the kind cf tariff I want: equally to all, discrimi nate to none. Third : That it is jm port ant that the best and most economical transportation be had for the producer to the maiket if beyond dispute. Nothing will afford this better than "God'a water wars" for free transportation. Every harbor that will admit of a benefit should be iin oroved, and especially should the com pletion of Coos Bay, Siuslaw, Yaquins and Tillamook not be delayed longer fw the growing commerce of Western Ore gon. Coos Bay gi en to tns trade ol Southern. Oregon competition, and a market for their fruit, timber and coal The quality of the fruit and coal cannot ba excelled in the State, and why should it be subjected to transportation rates at preeeat destroying the value of produc tion. . Sinslaw, will add thousands of dollar to cur wealth bv the valuable timber that is compelled to seek a market at this bar, and create a vast field for in vestment, and work tor the laborer in the timbered forests. Yaquioa, already connected by rail ith the timber belt of the Cascade Mountains and the Willamette valley, baa made a market that has returned to the farmer millions of dollars. At all times markets have been better, and producers have secured a pi ice in ad vance of other markets on account of these government aids. This ia certain ly a test of what improvements will bring. The- WiHame'te river must bs imr-ror- ed from the city of Portland, to the head of navigation at Ejgene, with free lock age at Oregon City snfficUnt to maintain boats during the entire year. There is at all times water enough it prsperly managed to justify this course by the government. No estimate could be made of the loss already ecstatned to the producer and business interests ol the Willamette valley by this delay for lie past 23 years, and I might ask why so important a water way is neglected T Fourth : I am oppesed to continual changes in the legislation of our country, and I am of- the opinion that we have more legislation than ia necessary for prosperity and successful business. Fifth : I am opposed to the "funding bill" of the Central Pacific B. B. Sixth : There is no doubt that all public salaries are in excess of all other prices, and they, therefore, should be reduced without delay, to better a grow ing evil on all systems of government. Voters consider yon, our situation, the creditor will continue to knock at yoor door until something of a permanent re lief can reach your labor. Who of yon have any assurance that profits can come to yon until legislation ia for yoor inter ests, btop, and meditate upon these important questions. . The foregoing statement ia my person al views on these the leading questions of the. present campaign. I regret that I cannot meet yon personally, and take this method of presenting my viewa to yon. jsrrEseoa Xtkrs. In Coos county the sheriff receive! $1,500 and pays for bit own deputy hire therefrom and yet there Ia active compe tition for the office. Ex. With malice towards none. The Democrat is glad to know that decoration day will be celebrated in Al bany this year with many interesting exercises and some novel features. Mr Henry Blakely is forty-six years of age, capable in every respect of filling the sheriff's office well, and pledged to do so economically and trustworthily. Mr. Mark Peery is not a politician; but he is a reliable, br'glit young man, thoroughly competent, and peculiarly well qualified to til' the office of recorder ell. Dvea shy one know of a person in Linn county with more individual capacity tor filling the office of county clerk than Mr. O A. Archibald. Besides- he is a young man ot splendid character. MISFITS.

A former resident of Linn county in subscribing for the Democrat saya: "I wish to say that in subscribing for your paper that we do not want it on account of your eilver viewa or political opinions; but aimnlv from the fact that yon pub lish a clean paper containing the local news." . TELEGRAPHIC. Mr Garland's competency for the posi tion of county judge is unquestioned. He ia a careful, economical man in business and will look after the interests of Linn county as closely as he doea that of hie clients. Mark Ptery ia winning the friendship of people all over tbe county. His home people give him a good name, and want him elected. He ia a youns man with a uleau record and a promising fa lure. Lebanon Express It J a mistaken idea to think that spending a lot of money on a big 4th of July celebration is patriotism. It ia far from it. The average 4ih of July cele bration is nearer the opposite of pa'riot-iem. Mr. McFeron is trying to gain sym pathy by going around the streets acd chanrina the Dkmocrat with making a personal attack upon him.a fact he knows to be untrue. The Dkmocrat lias con fined its opposition entirely to his official record, and very effectively in that line. The words of any cores pon.l ent are not those of the editor. The person 1 attack which the aheriff himself has assisted is that aeainet Mr. B'akclv a malicious and false one, forced by ue Deration. The Salem Journal puts it very nicely as follows: "The tnachinev is going into the new Salem oo'en Mills, ."vxi'i the looms will be rattling, the caids will he hummine. mules will be walking, and 100 people will be employed, crindioe out the beautiful finished product of 150,000 sheep annually. These mills are a great source of local pride. How were thev re-habilitated? By a lone; strong, hard, uni'ei pull. When Salem's best blood beats with a common impulse, good results always come The democratic nominees for repre sentatives have been constantly gaining in favor, and there is a growing opinion that they can particularly be tiuaied to do their beet to rid the (eople ot use less commissions and secure general economy in itite government. lllg Ui d. .

Then Mr gkipworth azain charged bim with ths aut and stated that he wduld prove it if the reverend gentleman did notadm'tit At this point Driver made a reinarkAbl confeeion Ia substaoee he stated: " ntim'wr of prominent gentlemen a!ted me t.i become a candi 'late for the position but I earnestly re fused until Co!

Roceburg Review. money Tbe campaign has brought out pretty thoroughly the fact that Mr. 8. M.Gar land is in every respect competent to fill the office of county Judge with abtlily. Mr. Garland has bad a large probate ex perience, an important thing to consider, and is fitted to attend to the duties of the office at once. The work of the teacher today ia poor ly done unless a thorough love of coun try U instilled into the minds of the chil dren. The great need of the rising gen eration is more genuine patriotism, more loyalty, less selfishness, a patriotism that shall do away with the aristocracy of wealth, and tend to build np an aristoc racy of character, a iellow feeling among men. When it comes to getting to the front bUirene is in it on most any proposition Just now she ia dealing in freaka ot na ture and mechanism. , Already this sea son she baa produced a time legged chicken, a cow addicted to coughing up lizards npon a moments notice, a red bat and a Jersey calf with a bnll dog's heal, a wooden bicycle built for two, say noth ing of conglomerated political squabbl rsexl Kegister. Aitany nas the politics; but we admit candidly that we have no Rev. Driver and E. It Skipworth in tbe contest. While it is not very material, the cost of running the sheriff's oilice for a year and nine months, instead of being fV 815.76, as some one baa claimed, was over IS00O. being $4,065.00 for the nine months ending April 30. Of this amount the overchaigea, which could oniy be figured out, by examining every bill for 21 months, as well as the itemised bills of deputies, which are not on file, and part of which were for work in private case, the segregation ot ex pense of private case from county case, tbe charging of mileage and o'her thing not authorised by law, including that of the bord of prisoners, would aa nearly as can be estimated, le somewhere be tween f 1000 and ll.HX', probably nearer the latter, though the amouut is not very material, aa he matter oi illegality it tbe mportant question at itsue. In Ohio a law known as the "corrupt practices" act baa lately been passed It requires all candida.es tJ make public an itemised account of the c.ttt of their campaign to seen re nomination for office, and the first of these accounts filed ia by a Congressional nominee who swear bis nomination coet bim it 50. for railroad tare and ou eta lor hotel bill. UI course this paragon of political perlection was a democrat. Taeoma has a city ordinance compel - ing bicycle-owners to pay a license of $1 a year an J can? a tag. Over 000 paid, but several hundred remain untagged, Today the police determined to enforce tbe ordinance and stationed patrolmen on all tbe bicycle roads. Aa a result, 53 arres's were made. Many of Item were prominent citizens, and no: a few were ladies. They will all appear in the mu nicipal court tomorrow, having been re leased on their own recognizance. The Herald accuses the Democrat of wanting the "county" printing. Cer tainly ; but not as badly as the Herald, a evidenced by tbe fact that we have not gotten quite so excited. The Demo crat baa been temperate in all its state ments, using no personalities or vindie- tiveness ; iot giving FACTS.

Tbe Dkmocbat believes inch a man ia not entitled to tbe votes of the people. We do not want a sheriff of that character. The salary of tbe captain general of Cuba is 130,000, aa large aa that of tbe preaident of tbe United States, her.es as much more for household and state expenses. All this baa to be wrung out of Cuba, a country with a population about half aa large aa that of the state of Ohio.
