A tlii is tlif last issiu? of tin- Ga zf.tte before election, w would liki to n:iv a word or two to von. On next Monday yon will be vailed upon to east vonr ballots tor the various stale anl coimlY officers. Let. every man do his duty. We would not at tempt to dictate to you, for you are all able to think and act for ui selves, but we would simply vail your attention to a few facts in relation U the candidates. Of course every man has his own political vi ws and friends, and he i apt to follow them in spite of ariru tncnts that may be brought In bear airaiust them. Knowing this, w have endeavored to keep clear of all petty spite work, and have to keep ail mean personalities from the vo mini of the (tazette. We wouM say, however, pay no attention to tin varum elect loneerniir yarns so as siduonsly circulated by desijrninsr and unscrupulous men, who are strangers alike to honor and honesty. It needless for us to particularize, but simply put Republicans on their guard. There have been studied ef forts and deep-laid schemes, on the part of political tiivksters, to cause dissatisfaction and distrust between the votes of Bt-nton county ami e r tain prominent men on the Repnb liean ticket. But you an- too old birds to be caught with such vhaff. These men have lived loo long among you, and have served you 400 faith fully, lor you to be turned against them bv the petty sjrowlin's of one who would si ll his liirtluijilit for a mess of political pott aye. The hue and cry about "vorruption in office" is the merest bosh, and re sorted to in order to avert attention from Democratic malteasanve. We just refer to these matters, lest, in an evil hour, Republicans should list-n to the vile outpourings of the Demo cratic, " leaders,'' and forget the prin ciples of their faith. On next Monday let every Repub lican go to the poils ami do hi. duly. Do not scratch your ticket or trade off any of your candidates. There is not a 111:111 on the Republican tick et that is not well worthy of the po sition to which they are nominated, and they must all Ik? elected. A CORRECTION. Thr riale says: " BensvII, yoa were in the legislature of 1879, why lidn't "on have the lock bill re pealed ?" For the single reason, Mr. Blade, Lock Bill, No. 77,never became a law ; there was nothing to repeal. Mr. Clow, however, voting for the passage of the. bill all tiietimk, and refused to support Pattons amend ment, to pay for the locks 111 ten an uu.il payments, of $25,000 eavh. He ulso refused to support I-angell s imendment, to leave the question to the people at the .Novemiier eiev tion (only a few weeks), as to wheth er thev would pay $480,000 for Un locks (then incomplete) or nor. Mr. Clow voted in oppositisn to Hons. J. C. Allen, .las. H. While and R. G. Chrvstal, of his own county, the two former g'-ntlemeii signing a protest against the passage of the bill by the senate. Mr. CUm voted lor the" Fee Bill' that increased the fees of the clerks and sheriffs, and repealed in 1874. These statements have been made bv Mr. Bensell in his canvass, and Mr. I -low has net been able to suc cessfully clear his record. It is well enough for the people to consider the actions of Mr. Clow while a member of the House in 1872. His judgement is certainly at fault. CUR SUPREME JUDGES. Next Monday the voters of Oregon will select "he Judges who will com pose the next Supreme Court of this Siate, The Democrats have placed on their ticket for re-elevtiou, two of tin pieS"til Judges whose past conduct on the bench has been censured by the press, both the Republican am Democratic, in the most unqualified terms, and while we have never ex pressed ourselves on tbfa subject be tore, we will now simply suggest that this manner of openly charging im proper vonduet to a man occupying this high position, is entirely new in 1 he polities of our Stale, and when s many make the same charge ii should at least put the voter on his guard ami cause him to consider well the importance of the position befon sriv inir his vote for anv one who is under even the shadow of reproach. The people will have an opportuni lr of supporting candidates for this important position who are known t possess the necessary learning am ability for the position, and whose in tegrily has never 111 questioned The onlv chartre thai has been so far made against the Republican vaudi dales is 1 hat they are young men, This is nni of the verv btst evidences of their fitness for the position. His lory shows that the best judges tin world has ever produced couitvenced their judicial career while yet in their Hurt us E. B. Watson, who is perhaps the youngest man of the three, is thirty five years obi, a man of good mora character, ossesscd of a fine legal mind, and who has spent about ten yearn in the practice of his protes- si Ml, was two vears ar elect en County Clerk of Jackson County by three hundred majority when that u unity was three hundreud Demo crat iv. E. B. Watson will be one of our next judges. The polidcal speaking at the Court House in this c'uy tomorrow, will commence til 10 o'clock a. m. This will lie the last effort of the eandi--daies and a large crowd will be in ai tendance. W. P. Lord is well known as a lawyer of profound ability, a thorough scho'ar and a gentleman of culture, and will be elected by a handsome majority next Monday. In voting for R. A. Bensell for Joint Senator you vote directly for the interest of Yaquina Bay and Ben ton county. PHILOMATHVICINITY. Editok Gazette : Once more I hall intrude on your kindness with the request for some space for a few remarks expressed by many of the mount ainerrs of Benton county, in recard to the approaching elections. These mountaineers are, as m class, unmistakably known as a working lass, consequently these remarks ome not from persons who idle their ime away on the street vomers of Corvallis in expectations of receiv ing a free "candidate drink." The great showing carried on lately by the Democratic party, that Sol. King hadn't delivered the money in his hands over to the treasurer, had not he least effect on the people. The Democrats erred again if they thought Sol. King could fly to pieces rorn their excess of efforts to bring him before the public as a people's wronger. fne voters of Benton say that, even if honest (?) Grover was the ex editing Sheriff of theirs they would not expect him to deliver the money of the county which should go through his bands, more minutely than Sol. did. The fact is thev fear 1 hat those who rake the actions of the present Sheriff so much, it in his official place, won id keep not only greater amounts back from the treas urer, out even try to pocket it alto get her. A Diogonese with a .antern, to search for honesty among those fault finders, would meet with the same success as thai Grecian sage did on the streets of Athens. Promises are til very well yet proof goes a good deal farther, and Mr. King gave all the proof as Sheriff, as far as his of h-ial participation is concerned, tin welfare of Benton, requires. Another candidate for an impor tant office is looming powerfully it in the minds of our citizens, and that is nobody less than Mr. James Yan tis, the candidate for Prosecuting At torney. People want a strictly mora man for that office, as only a man o that kind is apt to prosecute all the low residents that are among us; and therefore Jim Yantis has become the choice of all candid men of this coun ty. Ilis opponents reproach hirn ol being too slow and sleepy ; as answer I shall let a. lady speak of him, when Mr. Yantis was on one of his trips to the Bay, sometime last year, he was expected 10 make his appearance in one iff the h.iuses 011 the road to the Bay; but, staying out a little longer than ihey expected he would, some one made a remark accordingly, which by the landlady was answered with : "Jim may be slow, but he is George Mercer lias been Survey or of Benton county "time when the memory of man runneth not to the ontrarv." He is capable and prompt in the disvharge of his duties in oflicej a practical surveyor, he does his own work and does it well, and will be elected again on ihe 7th of this month by a good majority and will continue to perform ihe duties of the office with the same satisfaction to tin- people he has always given. W114, King returned from the Bunch Grass Country last Friday. looking well and hearty. The office of Coroner is by no means an unimportant one. It is often that very important business is to be transacted by that office, and it is but fit that the people elect a man to that position who is qualified to perform its duties, be they ever so re sponsible. The Republicans have placed before the people for that po sition Dr. F. A. Johnson, who will be elected and will discharge any duties that may devolve upon him with careful dispatch. Db. F. M. Carter is fully up to the expectations of his friends, who expected from him good service in the present campaign. The Dr. is on hand and his strong, vigorous mind makes him many friends who feel assured that in his election to the legislature Benton couuty will be honestly and faithfully represented. Dr. C. was raised in Benton county and is well acquainted with its wants. He will lie particularly acceptable to the people of the Yaquina, in which section he spent ' a great portion of his early manhood, he will be elected next Monday by a handsome major ity. Geo. A. Waggoner is on the can vass and has made a large number of friends. He is affable and pleasant and possessed of a large amount of good, sound sense and has the happy faculty of talking both in public and private in a genial and logical man ner. The Republican Convent ion ex ercised good judgment in placing him on their Representative ticket. Mr W. lives i:i Monroe precinct but is kiiowi throughout the county, and will run ahead of his ticket and be elected nex Monday, and when elect ed possesses the disposition and abil 11 y to do a great deal lor his county and State. sure. SuA moral, and a lawyer of abili iv. What more can the people of Benton long for? Liberal. May 3! st, 1880. The people of Benton county want B.. W. Wilson reelected County Clerlj. Titos. B. Merry, Democratic can didate for Stale Printer, favored us with a call on Monday. I DISTRICT C f FICERS. Two of the most important offices to the tax payers of the county are District Judge and District Attorney. For these positions the Democrats have nominated J. J. Walton, Jr, of Eugene City, for Judge, and J. W. Hamilton, of Coos Co., for Attorney. Of these men very little can be said, one way or the other. Mr. Walton has lived in Lane county for a long lime and is not known outside of it, and has never distinguished himself as a lawyer. Mr. Hamilton is a young man, admitted to the bar about a year ago, and must of necessity, be lacking in experience. The Republican candidates are well known to our readers. Hon. J. F. Watson has for four years Wen the incumbent of the office tor which he is now candidate, and has exhib" it d by the prompt maimer in which he vonduet the business of his Court that he is the right man in the right place. It does not require a lawyer to see that the slow drag ol the Cir cuit Court in the tardy transaction of its business, costs the county hundreds of dollars every day of its session, and the tx-payers will not forget that Judge Watson is a constant guard to their interest in that resevt ; his decisions are just and seldom re versed by a Superior Court. Voters will remember that a ballot east for Judge Watson is vast directly in their own interest. Of our candidate for District Attorney it is not our prove nee to speak. The people know him and he is pushing the pencil that intiucts this ankle. A vote tor Judge Watson for dis trict Judge is a vote for low taxes in Benton county. Hon. E. Woodward, our candi date for State Senator has not been out on the canvass but stayed at home and attended to his business, he win ne eiecteii all I lie same. lie is well and favorably known in every precinct in the county, and as his friendships have been formed through business or social intercourse, they a.re strong and enduring. When elect ed he will make- a dilligent and i-ffi-cicM officer; not one who will occu py the whole time in making long speeches, but who will quietly but constantly watch and faithfully labor for the best interest of his county and State. F. M. Wadsworth is making it lively for his opponents on the can vass. He is a fluent, forcible speaker and will, without doubt, represent Bciifbn county in the next Legisla lure. He is a resident of Soap Creek precinct and will receive a large local vote independent of his party strength. Every one who knows Frank respects him, and those who know him best like him most. II was a soldier in the late war and was wouiineil 111 the defense ot his conn- try. He has been in Oregon since I8C5 and most of that time in Ben ton county ; his private character is above suspicion, and he is just the man the people love to honor. Mr. Wadsworth will lie a faithful and in fluent ial member of the Oregon Leg islature. SiCas Howell, our candidate for County Assessor, is a man ofcgood judgment, a practical farmer and well acquainted with the value of land and stock. He is yet a young man and full of the energy of youth, but possessed of the knowledge and judg ment ot mature mc finned. He is a resident of A Isea and identified with the interests of that portion of the county; and will receive the cheerful support of the Republican part y of Benton county, which means, iu other words, (bat be will, be elected. J. L. Lilly will be one of the next County Commissioners ot lieiiion County, and is in every way the righ man for the position. He has resided in Benton county for more than twenty-five years; is a good, carefu business man in private affairs, and will be equally as careful and dis criminating iu conducting the affairs of the county. He is thoroughly ai quainted with the different portions ot the county and therefore qualified to judge of their wants and protec ti e county from imposition. His vote on the second dav of next week will be a lare one. R. A. Hurlbckt is one of tin earlv settlers of Benton county. H came here when the county was in it infancy, and knows its needs. He i a tax payer and will have a pefsoual interest iu conducting the affairs o the county 011 nn economical, basis ami yet lie sensible of the wants the county and not parsimmoiuous No man in Benton county woul make a better County Commissioner than R. A. Hurl hurt and the voters will appreciate this fact and say so 011 the 7th of June. E. B. McEi.roy has been the Su perintetMlent of public instruction in this county for four years, last past and under his management the edu catiorial interests of Benton havt grvatly improved ; his reputation ha gone out from his own county will credit, and the vast recommendation of his fitness and popularity iseviden ced by the fad -that he has no oppo sition oil the Democratic ticket, and we cannot be charged with being over certain when we state that h wiil be elected by an overwhelming majority. THE COMINQSTATE FAIR' Ed. Gazette: The time is not far distant when our state fair for this year will be held at Salem. From every indication it will be a complete success. The managers of the fair have phJfeed its commencement July St. For the last three year's heavy rains fell during the time of the fair, rendering them very disagreeable and deficient in receipts. Fine improve ments have been made on the fair grounds lately, and the broad walks, fine parks, elegant pavilions, the fine shades and great supply of pure wa ter on the grounds, present great in luccmeuts this year to campers and visitors. But there Is one feature of he approaching fair that commends it to the sober, moral and religions people, and that is that no license will be granted to any persons to sell or give away, on the grounds, during he fair, any beer or other intoxicat ing liquor. Gambling will lie prohib ited as far as possible, and the Chief Marshal and all his aides are reliable temperance men, who will enforce the rules. It is true that grains and vegeta bles will not lie matured in time for the fair, but flowers, machinery, min erals, stock, poultry, ladies' handi work and works of art will be on ex hibition in profusion. Roads will be good, and bright summer weather will, no doubt, prevail. Such will be the good order prevailing, from the absence of dram shops and gambling dens, and a decrease of roughs on hat account, that we expect and hope that there will be the most agreeable and successful fair this year ever before held in Oregon. Rev. I. Dillon has arranged for a grand national excursion from the states to the fair grounds at half fare and no doubt this will add severe! thousand persons to the fair this year. The anniversary ot-onr national in dependence will be celebrated on tin the grounds on the 5th of July Either Dr. Walts or Hon. J. L. Ca pies will deliver the oration on thai ovecasion, either of them being well qualified for that position. It is t be hoped that all good citizens will come up this year and spend ten days together agreeably on that occasion David Newsome. J. W. Williams will manage tin office of County Treasurer for tin next two years with promptness am ability. His business ability is well known and needs no words of com mendation at our hands. He ha lived in Corvallis for more than twen ty years, and no man can be found it question his integrity. He will r ceive the support of many Democrat on personal grounds, ami his ekcty is sure. CAMPJURNED. Ed. Gazette : Some two weeks since some young nimrods, residents of Blmlgett' valley, about sixteen miles west of Corval lis, thinking themselves mighty hunters concluded that they would go elk hunting. 80, accordingly. Messrs. Sam Wood, AI Wood, -Frank Wood and Ruasel loaded up their mustangs and started for Drift creek, a tributary of the Alsea putting in from the north. Arriving at their destina tion they pitched their camp in a desert cabin. The nextiorning the hunters a! started out to look for game, but met with poor success ; they found elk sign but no elk. On returning to camp in the evening they found the cabin in ashes ; not only was the cabin burned, lint also about 9100 worth of property, including three valuable sad dies, blankets, cooking utensils, ananuni tion, provisions, etc., leaving the boys to get home as hest they could, without sad dies, bridles or grub. How theHre canght is a mystery, unless it was from a burning match, thrown carelessly down by one of the men who bad lit his pipe as he was leav ing the cabin. T. H. P. Oak Creek, May 28, 1880. A BI8 SMOKEFOR NO FIRE. Several of the fast issues of the Benton Blade have devoted a large portion of space to charges against SoL King, present Sheriff of Benton county, claiming that his pub lished statement made in July 1S79, shows that he hod iu his hands at the time of his settlement with the County Court at said time, something over $1000 00 in county funds, and that the books of the County Treasurer shows that said amount has not yet been paid, these charges have been reit erated on the canvass by Mr. Johnson, Mr. King's opponent, and os every occai a met squarely and fairly by Mr. King. The faets in the case are these : At the tune Mr. King settled with the County Court in July 79, he had in his ha nils the sum of $1900- -nut in money but in county orders these orders being iu the hands of Mr. King, as Sheriff, these orders were not drawing iuterest and the county was neither gainer or looser by Mr. King holding them. They were just as much redeemed when they went into his hands as when he turn d them over to the Treasurer, and they were not therefore turn ed over to the Treasurer until in January, 1SS0. These orders had been collected on the tax of 1878, but when delivered to the Treasurer with other money collected on the taxes of '79, he gave his receipt to the Sheriff for taxes of 1879 and placed the whole amount to the Sheriff's credit on his account of 1879, thus leaving an apparent discrepancy in the Sheriff's account of 1878. i The foregoing is the plain, unvarnished facts concerning which so much fuss has been made. And as an unanswerable evidence of this fact we call attention to the fact that the County Court, composed of men ever on the look out for the interest of the coun ty, knew the condition of affairs on the first Monday of July ,-1877, as well as they know it now, and if Sol. King had in his hands over $1900 of Benton county funds they j would have lona: since compelled him to pay ; it over to the Treasurer or would have com menced an action against him on his official bond. But the County Judre knows hat Benton county has no cause of action against Sol. King, else, in his anxiety to defeat King, he would have commenced the action and compelled King to answer in a court of justice and not on a political canvass. Voters will take the proper view of this matter ou Monday next, and Sol. King will be re-elected by a larger majority than he has ever before received. Base Ball. The young men of Corval lis met in F. A. Vincent's office last Monday evening and organized a baseball club. There were nineteen names signed to the constitution. The initiation fee was Dlaced at one dollar and the dues twenty-five cents per month. The club was christened The Altas, of Corvallis. The followiug are the officers for the ensuing year : Pres., J. R. Bryson : Vice Pres.. AL Bav : Sec.. C.J Bishop ; Treas., R. McLagan; Business and Ground Com., Jas. Orr, Geo. Moon and R. McLagan. The boys think they will have tne iiosa citio ot tlie state. Cathartic Pills Combine the choicest cathartic principles in medicine, in proportions accurately ad Justed to secure activity, certainty, and uniformity of effect. They are tins' result of years of careful study and practical ex periment, and are the most effectual rem edy yet discovered for diseases, ranged by derangement of the stomach, livrr, and lowels, which require prompt and effectual treatment. Ayeb's Pills are spec'ally ap plicable to this class of diseases. Tliev act directly on the digestive and assimilative processes, and restore regular heaitly ac tion. Their extensive use hy physicians in their practice, and by a1! civilized nations, Is one of the many proofs of their value as a safe, sure, and perfectly reliable purgative medicine. Being compounded of the con centrated virtues of purely vegetable sub stances, they are positively free from calo mel, or any "injurious projvrries. and can be administered to children with perfect safety. Ayer's Pills are an effectual cure for Constipation or Cosiiveiicss, Indiges tion, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite, Foul Stomach and Rreatli, Dizziness, Headache, Loss of Memory, Numbness, Biliousness, Jaundice, Rheumatism, Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Dropsy, Tumors, Worms, Neuralgia, Colic, Gripes, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Gout, Piles, Disorders of the Liver, and all other diseases resulting from a disordered state of the digestive apparatus. As a Dinner Pill they have no equal. While gentle in their action, these Pills are the most thorough and searching cathar tic that can lie employed, and never givo pain unless the bowels are inflamed, and then their influence is heling. They stimu late the appetite and digeHtive organs: they operate to purify and enrich the litcod, and impart renewed health and vigor to tha whole system. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

John Burnett was e'ecte l State Senator from Benton county to serve the people, as was supposed, in the capacity of Senator for four years. ing one session principally in getting a law passed creating our present Supreme Court. I believe Mr. Burnett even neglected the Yaquina R. It. Bill, so much was he inter ested in having a new Supreme Court. Could it lie possible that "honest" John was looking ahead ! If Mr. Burnett should be elected to the Supreme Bench, have the per pie any assurance that he would serve out his time ? Or would the gentleman try to step irom the Judgeship into the U. S. Sen ate. He was once County Judge and. while holding that office tried to be Congressman. He resigns the office of State Senator and runs for Supreme Judge. In the name of Sam Patch, what next? C&sar.
