sneered, now it abuses. What weapons it
descends to. A day or two ago it fudged
up again the. old story about the Yaciuiua's

Vaquina at nine o'clock on Sunday morn

hat passes for such, is to join names to

of them. If lifts up its hands in holy hor

alogue of the slanders of the OrcU"'a1'
ould be not only too long, but too unin
teresting for us to put sue. We should have
followed the same course of silence which
we notice is being taken by Col. Hogg and
W. Nash, but we know that the local jour
nals ot Oregon circulate in the ivist ae
is widely as the O-'-J7"' llt and proahly arj

Valley press, of all political colors, to show
the estimation in which the articles

in its owu state
TIIE
THE POLITICAL POT
Again conies to the front having the au
dacity and brazen-faced impudence U clann
that the insinuations under that title were
innocent and that because some Ot
County Treasurer Williams' mo3t active
supporters at the time of his election urged
that he was in very straightened circum
stances, that, therefore, they had the right
to publish of and concerning- him that
"Treasurer Williams claims to be a county
charge arid could not wag through this
dreary world without a five-hundred-do!lar
Hilary from Benton." If such is a fair
sample of Democratic warfare or of Demo
cratic journalism in Benton, we are glad to
ftnow it. If this is "an improvement under
rhe new management as well as a disposi
tion to discuss all questions in a candid,
pen and honorable manner" or even in an
honest manner, we are glad to know it. If
the best citizens of our county are to be
jmiliined, vilified, traduced, slaudered and if
all kinds of libellous matter are to be pul
I shed about them iu the coming campaign m
like manner as in campaigns already passed
Ivy a sheet managed and ran in the interest o
a few street corner politicians whose only
object is their own advancement to some
official position, regardless of any expense
o truth, honor or respectability, we are
I.nT to know this a'.so. Whether these
things are so or not, as a public journalist
we shall feel it an important duty to call
attention lo the3e at any ani;.ill times,
vhm- in our iodzment. any of our best
citizens have been wrongfully assailed, re
gardlsss of the political persuasion of the
party thus wronged. A public journal owes
no futher duty to politics than to be honest
in its convictions and to advocate them in
an honest manner and the same is due to
every t;ood citizen.
Whether Mr. Williams desires a ranom
ination or not we do not know, and if he
does or does, not desire it, or if hi3 most
earnest supporters said tiiat he was in
straightened circumstances, has nothing to
do with the matter. If they said so, it was
probably tine, for aught we know. Mr
Williams is no doubt a poor man, he does not
claim, to be anything elsa, yet it is no offense
to be poor, neither was it any oSense for
his supporters to say that he was in straight
encd circumstances when they were tellinj
the truth. But we can not say that it was
not an offense to publish language inrlicatiu
that be won'd become a county charge unless
reelected.
THE OREGON PACIFIC RAILROAD.
We had hoped that the unscrupulous and
disgraceful attacks on ourraiiioal and its
officers which so frequently disfigured the
columns of the Oregonian during the hist
month were the work of the young men of
the office during the "boss'" absence, and
that when Mr, Harvey Scott returned from
hi holiday no more would appear. We
were mistaken. IJ.irdly a day passes with
out a fresh fling, each one as defiant of
truth, as regardless of decency, as its pre
decessor. The paper descends to pick up
day by day tl e mud of proved aud malig
nant falsehoods, and to hurl them broad
cast, in hope that some may stick. Small
thanks to these detainers if no harm is done
by them. If they could have spoiled or
stopped the Oregon Pacific, if they could
have poisoned the minds of its supporters
here and iu the East and induced them to
withdraw their hands, if they could have
blackened the cliaracters of the President
and the other officials of the road, what a
snigger of satisfaction we should have hoard.
What hurts the Oregonian, and not less
those who inspire or suborn it, is that like
a scolding, long-jngued shrewish jade, it
can only annoy and cannot injure. Nothing
is a better advertisement of the real merit
of the Oregon Pacific than the 'increasing
efforts of the Oregl'a' to cripple it. Iu
old times when the little Vaquina railroad
a all wc hoped for, the Oregonian only
THE REAL CAUSE OP THE
QON1AKS ANTICS.
OR
The Portland Ore0(nan 'n several issues
luring the last few weeks has been attack-
.. -. r. -1 , 1 . f
in;, tne uregon l acme luunwi aim hohs
Wallis Nash and Col. Hogg, and iu a man
ner by wdiich it pretends to unearth some
great and important things to lis readers.
The real cause of these uncalled for attacks
and falsifications made agiinst these gentle
men and the railroad which they are build
ing is truly laughable to those who undi-r
stand the situation. The reason which
prompts the 0'c'Jonian to devote so much
space anc attention to that subject art
found in the book lately written by Wallis
Nash entitled "Two Years in Oregon." The
passage alluded to is recognized by every
reader of the Oregonian to be so literally
true that it cannot be successfully disputed
in any particulrr. It rea-,13 as follows :
The Oi'e9n"!'!n 13 tl:e ou,y journal in
the State giving the latest telegrams. Nat
urally it is published in Fortlaud, and de
voted mainly to' the interests of that city.
It i3 connected with the Associated Press,
ami possesses the practical nionotioly of the
mpply of news, 'properly so called. Pro
fessing to be Republican in politics, ii
assumes the liberty of advocating doctrines
and supporting candidates for office in direct
violitionof the acknowledged principles of
the pariy and the wishes of the party man
agers. With a parade of fairness and
willingness to admit to its columns views
and communications opposing the ideas it
may be advocating at the time, it takes
care ter color matters in such form as to
prevent or weaken all opposing or criticising
matter. It is bitterly hostile to every
movement in the Willamette valley tend
in? toward independence of Portland's
money power an I influence. While profess
ing to desire the development of the State,
it reads that to mean solely the aggrandize
ment of Portland. It enjoys a happy facil
ity of conversion, and will unblushingly ad
vocate to-day the adoption of measures it
denounced last week. Unreliable in every
thing except its telegraphic news, and
oftentimes seeking to color them by sug
gestive head-notes and capital announce
ments, it is a calamity to the state that
its cheif journal shoo el be at once the most
unpopular at home and the most misleading
abroad."
It is amusing how the Oregonian squirms
when she has matters placeel before her in
such a manner as to enable her to see her
self as others see her.
HE HAS COME AND THE VICTIM
IZER HAS GONE.
Anexhange not far distant takes a lively
interest in our welfare. The same kindly
spirit only a few weeks ago before quitting
our employ generously wrote to Portland
without our knowledge or consent and
brought all the way from that place a gen
tleman to take charge of the printing de
partment of our offi-'c without consulting
us until after his arrival an. I also after
promising to give us ample notice before
quitting our services in order that we might
be able to secure help satisfactory to us. We
did net bite at this act of generosity. We
lid not think ibis friend's power by the
simple fact of being in our employ extended
so far as to authorize him to take charge of
our affairs and deal out our positions to his
own satisfaction. In short, we did not
deem it necessary at that time tor have this
parry act as our guardian. Few other men
would have assumed to perpetrate such an
outrage oh hi3 fellow man. No sir, Mr.
Woodcock is not tired of editorial honors.
After having been victimized for the last
ten months inahno3t every conceivable way
in the printing department of cur office,
Mr. Garretson has arrived whom we have
thus far founel to be a gentleman in every
particular, and who is ' one of the best
job printers on the coast, and he will no
doubt materially assist us in making up the
time which has been squandered f, r
us tluriug the last ten months at
the rate of from 1 to 2 and 3 hours
per day anil for wdiich, during all of
that time we were paying high wages.
This, however, might not have been done
with a view to wrong us, but simply from
the fact that sometimes persons are so
habitually constituted that they have a
general quarrel with work and do not care
to do much of it if they can manage to get
the money for it by rendering as little
equivalent as possible.
. It might also be well for other newspa
pers to consider that unless their printing
ofiiee is managed more fairly, economically
and with less waste of time anel material
than ours has been for the last ten months
that they may also have to send and bring a
competent man from a distance, who will
reeoimize it to be his duty to render a inst
eep-.iv.!ent for his salary.

so important to the people of Oregon will
soon be in fall opperath n and will be

The Democratic primary maeting was
held at Wilcoxe's hall. Ten Democrats
and fifteen or twenty Republican were
presant. Mr. E. Skipton the Democratic
war chief of this precinct called the house
to order and stated the object of the meet
ing. On motion of M. H. Parker, Mr. S.
was nominated as chairman. Mr. Skipton
put the motion himself and djclared hi;
election. After balloting three times, the
following gentlemen were duly elected
delegates to the county convention viz.,
J...seph Liggette, E. Skipton, J. Mays, Isaic
Parker and A. Belien. The chairman in his
zeal to roll on the wheels of Democracy
would put the motions and then vote upon
them himself. So soon a3 the delegates
were elected the chairman proceeded to

speech pointing in glowing terms to the
victories that await the Democrats in the
