Fifth, That .U is the policy of the Republican partv
to foster and tneourac j the development of our state

lu direct communication with our sifter states.
Sixth., That we hold all corporations to be strictly
responsible to their liabilities under the law, and
roeogiuzc the right of the Legislature to enact all
reasonable limitations on corporate powers.
Seventh, That to the end that all settlers upon
alt unearned railroad lands in this state maybe en
abled to obtain titles without delay, and that those
seeking homes may not be embarrassed in the loca
tion oflands, we favor such action by C.njress as
will place such lands within reach of actual settlers
at a price not exceeding, 5 50 per acre, undor such
conditions and provisions as will secure the railway
eeinpauies in any vested rights or equ.ties th-.y may
a.c in the proecHls of such lauds.
Eighth, That we favor the enactment of a law b'
Congress restoring to settlers the right to home tcad
and pre-empt in all eases where by abandonment of
entries and filings, they have hitherto not haJ the
lull benefit of these acts.
Ninth, That the rapidly increasing manufacturing
and wool-raising interests of the state dc:nand the
continued fostering care of the general government.
Tenth. That t'.ie reciprocity treatv with the Sand
wich islands is an imposition mwn the government
and the people, and should beapesHj abrogated.
Eleventh, That by the generous policy of the Re
publican party in Congress, liberal appropriations
have been made to various portions of the state, and
we favor a continuance of tiiis liberal policy for ti.e
development of our state and especially for the im
provement of the Columbia river and its tributaries,
the Yaquina and C-ios bays, and proposed harbor of
refuge at Port Orford, the I'mpqua, (,'oiuille and
Miuslaw rivers, the construction of the locks at the
Cascades and the Dalles of the Columbia river, as
well as other sections of our state.
Twelfth, We profoundly deplore the untimely and
tragic death of James Abrain Garfield, late president
of the United States, who was shot down while in
the discharge of his oifieial duties by the hand of a
cowardly assassin, and we approve and applaud the
practical wisdom, the unselfish patriotism and tlie
unswerving fidelity to the constitution and the
principle cf American li! erty with which James A.
Marfleid discharged under circumstance-, of unparall
eled dirtlcultiesthe duties and responsibilities of the
presidential otficc during his brief occupancy there.
Thirteenth, We regard President Arthur's veto of
the bill for restriction of Chinese immigration as un
wiec and unjust, and we condemn the policy which
prompted it as being opposed to the principles of the
Kcpublican party as expressed in the platform of our
iart national Republican conventions;and
We heartily commend our Representative in Con
fTresv, Hon. M. C. George, for his able effcrts to
secure the passaire of such bill; anil
We here earnestly declare it to he our belief that
Chinese Immigration to the United States should be
restricted, and we demand that our Representatives
in Congress shall persist in advocating the enact
ments of a law that will effectually accomplish tha
result
Fourteenth, That we heartily endorse the course
of our able Congressman, Hon. 31. C.George, in his
untircing etlorts in Dcnalf ot our state; and that we
heartily approve the economical and efficient admin
istration on the part of our present Republican state
officers.
responding classes of passengers anil freight,
are nlike to he restrained or abolished by
Legislative action.
4. That the improvement to the entrance
ot Yaquina harbor is mi object of the deep
est in! eryst to Benton county, with special
reference to the certain results of such im
provement in reducing the cost of both in
land and ocean transportation of the pro
ducts of Denti n county and the whole of
middle and southern Oregon, by facilitating
the operation and extending the advantages
of the Oregon Pacific; Railroad, an enter
prise which should receive the support of
every citizen in the Willamette valley
counties regardless of party.
5. That in view of the unequal pressure
of the present system of taxation for making
and repairing county roads, steps should be
taken to amend the laws in the direction
of greater economy in expenditure and a
more equitable plan of working.
6. That the remr.neraSian of county
Clerks and Sheriffs should be by sa'arj
instead of by fees, and that the amounts
of such salaries should be fixed on the
principle of a reasonable compensation for
the amount of work actually performed.
7. That repid economy should be exer
cised in the expe nditure of funds rais-'d by
both State ami county taxation.
8. That we regard the present school
book system as an oppressive monopoly,
and demand its unconditional repeal.
9. That the improvement of the Alseya
river and harbor will open up for settle
ment ami will develop a valuable section
of our country, and the exertions of Hon.
M. C. George to secure national aid for
this important enterprise is highly to be
approved of.
THE VXZT.ITE.
Oar Effort With il the I.r.st Tear. "
One year ag beginning with the present
number we became interesto 1 in the Ga
zette. Since that time we have labored
earnestly and faithfully to give to the peo
ple a gocd paper by publishing all of the
most interesting news that our columns
would admit off. It is our impression that
we have improved the paper considerably
since taking charge of it but ct this the
public must judge. Editorially we have
endeavored to honestly and faithfully dis
cups those matters of most interest to the
public good. In d log so we may at some
times have touched a tender chord which
is an pleasant for us to have to do; but nev
ertheless we have the consciousness of hav
ing fearlessly porformed our rlnty. We feel
confident that our efforts have been appre
ciated by the public, because ever since a
short time after our connection with the
enterprise onr subscription list and adver
tising patronage has been gradually increas
ing. While there is but littlo proftit in the
enterprise for its proprietor, yet the Ga
zette is on a good substantial and self sup
porting financial basis. Nearly all the prolit
the enterprise has made for us we have in
vested in new material for thj office, and in
the improvement of the paper. We have a
new press and a large quantity of tyue and
materiel now o:i the way which will arrive
here in a few days. If the patronage to the
Gazette increases iu the future as in the
past, so a3 to justify we sh ull as in the past
continue our ciijrtq :. , tlw protits ot t
emerj.nse in improving tlie i-azette. n e
ftel thankful for the publ.ic appreciation the
Gazette has received which has been un
mistakably manifested by a continued and
increased public patronage. We shall in
the future endeavor to lucrrit a continuance
of the same.

LaM igcalts ot Poiltital ttca.h.
After the last April fool's day experience
of the Democratic county convention of
Benton county. On last Saturday the dele
gates assembled in this place and the con
vention was ca'led to order at about ten
o'clock in the forenoon.
After the reports on credentials and order
of business ha I been submitted and adopted
and a motion having been made by Mr.
Parker to the ellcjt that a committee of five
on platform bo appointed, business appeared
to come to a Standstill, no one seeming at
the time to have any thing to offer; where
upon Mr. W. S. McFalden, whom we some-
Ripubllran County Convention Platform.
The Committee on Resolutions submitted
"the following report, which was unanimous
ly adopted :
Mr. President We, your Committee on
Resolutions, beg leave to submit the follow
ing :
The Republican party of Benton connty,
in convention assembled on this 8th day
of April, 1882, hereby make the following
declaration of principles :
1. That the laws regulating the assessment
and collection ot taxes should be so amended
that all classes of property shall bear an
equal proportion of the public burden; and
that all sums evidenced by note and secur
ed by mortgage on real estate should be
made taxable in the county where such
real estate is situate. 1.
2. That the Republican pirty deeply re
grets and strongly deprecates the action of
President Arthur in vetoing the bill for re
striding Chinese immigration lately passed
by both Houses of Congress, and asserts the
fight of the American nation to prevent
the incursion Tit hordes ot Asiatics, whose
cheap labor may improperly depress the
wages earned by American citizens in many
departments of life.
3. That inasmuch as the people are the
primary source of power under onr Repub
lican government, and as consequently all
corporations derive their existence and ex
ercise all functions by virtue of right3 gran
ted by the people themselves, it is incum
bent on the Legislature of each State so to
regulate the charter privileges of corpora
tions within its borders as to prevent such
corporate bodies from encroaching on and
oppressing the people. That with special
reference to common carriers, extortionate
fares and freights, and the discrimination
is rates, tines and distances between cor-
times term "Boss," although not a delegate
to the convention, rushed forward from the
crowd ot observers and suggested to Secre
tary Millner and assistant manager Joseph
Liggett that a motion to adjourn until one
o'clock in the afternoon should be made iu
order to give the committee on platform an
opportunity to report; whereupon Mr. Lig
gett immediately rado the motion as sug
gested, which wa3 put !y the chair and car
ried, before any committee oa .platform had
been appointed.
During the recess "Boss" McFadden met
us on the street and demanded the reason
why we used his name so prominently iu
our issue of last week in reviewing his po
litical shortcoming. We frankly informed
him that as a cilizen'aud a neighbor we had
no light to make against hjm; but, accord
ing to onr way of looking at matters, his
political history and political wire-working
and manonveriug was to us contemptible,
and, while running a pnblio journal, we
should give his public and political record
to the public H . immediately replied that
we could take our own course, and that lu
would take his; he thereupon asserted that
he thought he could hold his own with us
in response to what we wer 3 incline I to
publish about his political career and, as w
understood him, intima'ing that he would
get even on us his willingness to do so be
nig vcrihed by the action in the afternoon
of the convention in which he held the con
trolling interest upon a resolution to whitj
wash him; but, not unlike many of his
political jobs, in this instance he seriously
mistook tlu effect of his remedy.
Soon after one o'clock the convention was
called to order and, before the regular order
of business as adopted had been called up,
the "Bo3s" introduced a small "side-show"
ror the amusement of the spectators and to
the injury of his whole party ticket, and
the final defeat of himself. "Boss" McFa 1
deu, as was stated before, uot being a dele
gate to the convention, in order to intro
duce his "performance" and get his "magic
lantern" affair to go off, it became necessary
that he should have help a spokesman, lie
found this assistance iu Mr. Ruins Thomp
son, a delegate trom Soa; Creek, and an
immigrant, whom we are informed has only
been in the county about six months And
so it was at this juncture of the convention's
proceedings the regular business was stopped
by this Rufus Thompson this pliant tool
and spokesman for "Boss" McFadden who
arose to his feet and offered a rsslution to
vindicate and whitewash their poor and
long-adhered to "Boss." He arose to his
feet and read the words of the resolution,
which had previously been prepared by
"Boss" McFadden. and were in his own
handwriting, iu substance about as follows:
Resolved, That the animadversions in the
last issue of the Gazette against the Dem
ocratic State Convention ami one of its
candidates is an insult to the Democratic
party. That we condemn the same as
utter disregard of truth, and give it our
condemnation as a disgrace to journalism
and that we deem the (Jazettk unworthy
of the patronage of Democrats. And we
commend the gentlemanly treatment of
the Lender toward Republican cand
idates. That in the nomination of Hon.
W. W. S. McFadden, our reputed faithful
Ross, we reeogaize a gentleman of
superior legal attainments and acknowledeed
ability as a literary man and a lawyer.
After the "Boss" pliant-tool had resumed
his seat some kind brother with the love
of the "Boss" in his soul arose and moved
the adoption of the resolution which was
unanimously adopted without comment
except the vote of Mr. Jacobs, of this city,
who voted in the negative.
After the adoption of the resolution the
Democratic platform was full and complete.
This added to the balance of the platform
made the Democratic plank so broad that
any party could safely stand upon it in the
agonies of death.
The "Boss" for a moment was happy
beyond question his duly constituted Con
vention had squellched the Gazette; they
had in his estimation virtually taken the
hide off from us and stretched it on the
wall to dry. Not only this, but in adding
these subjects to the Benton county Demo
cratic platform they admitted that there
might be a "nigger in the woodpile" by be
ing driven to the necessity of whitewashing
their "Boss." By adopting this amend
ment to their platform they thus washed,
purged and voted the "Boss" free from all
past sins leaving him ai pure and immacu
late as if he had just emerged from haying
been washed iu the blood of the lamd.
By the adoption of this part of the Dem
ocratic platform, the convention sanctioned
the political somersaults which the "Boss"
has engaged in from Pennsylvania to Oregon.
In voting him so pure and innocent, they
made political trickery and conventional
wire working honorable, and have relieved
from odium political "bossism" with all of
its damning and damaging consequences.
They also endorsed and gave the Learler a
vote of thanks for tire onslaughts made upon
our present Treasurer, J. W. Williams, for
being a poor man, and accusing him of like
ly to become a county charge unless he re
ceived a renomination. They also by that
Democratic plank endorsed the course of the
Beaton County Blade of two years ago when
the "Boss" and his co-worker, Mr. Mtflncr,
rorc its a;knov.-l? Igsd editors, and when
that disreputable organ made use of more
tilth, slime and dirt than would be consist
ent with the usual cm tun of a Police Ga
zette. By that part of their platform they
endorsed the "Bens' " leg-bail defense of
Dora Cushman, at Crescent City, without
the intervention of a judge or jury. By
the s:tme act they sanctioned his doings in
th3 case of the State of Oregon against
Brown in Lake county. By this wonderful
resolution they endorsed the course of the
"Bo3s" last summer when he published iu
the Benton Connty Blade hU assaults against
the Yaquina Railroad and its management
in order to gain some cheap political
notoriety.
WThile the Convention had thus taken
such a load of original, and political sin off
from their idol, the "Boss." they took the
same load upon their own hands and thus
placed it upon the shoulders of the several
candidates which they afterwards nomina
ted, for them to carry through, to the end of
the election.
After thi3 grand work was accomplished,
and their platform thus 'ully completed,
thev proceeded to make nominations as fol
lows:
Thomas E. Cauthorn was nominated for
State Senator by acclamation. He is well
known in thi3 county, and a pleasant gen
tleman. His qualifications as a legislator
are not apparent; and with the popularity
of Mr. Woodward and the ability with
which he conducted himself in the last leg-
young, and what his ability is for holding
the purse-strings of the county we are un
able to say and it will 'probably never be
known because his opponent (Thomas J.
Buford) is so universally popular and a good
business man that Mr. Avery's chances fur
promotion are certainly slim.
Mr. Davis, the old commissioner, and Mr.
Vanderpool, of Soap Creek, were made the
nominees for County Commissioners. Mr.
Davis has marie a fair Commissioner in the
past, so far as we know. His co-nominee,
however, is almost a stranger to this part of
the county at the present time, but a long
resident of the north end f the county.
John Scott waj nominated for Assessor,
which is certainly a nomination without
any qualifications whatever for the position.
Edgar Millner was nominated for School
Superintendent. He is one of the "Bosses' "
strongest men. It was he who run ihi old
Blade. aj eo-editor with the "Boss," with
its columns full of the scum and filth of cre
ation. His knowledge of books is perhaps
sufficient to qualify him thus far for the po
sition. But according to our notion of such
matters, he does not possess the moral
strength and force to qualify him to build
up an educational system for the young.
Without the young being strengthened by
fioroiigh ideas of morality, the other jiarts
of an education will be of little service to
them.
Alonzo Locke was renominated for Coun
ty Surveyor. He has served the county in
the same capacity for the last twe years,
but George Mercer will likely serve them
for the next two.
Quite a number of the delegates, after the
convention was over, were free to acknow
ledge that the whole thing had been badly
"setup," and their impression seemed to
be that the "Boss" was the leading spirit iu
setting it up.
It is certain that most, if not quite all, of
the nominees on the ticket are McFadden
men, which looks very curious to a casual
observer and savors very strongly of the idea
that an other kind of a person could uot
possibly have received a nomination.
It is certain and sure that the ticket bur
dened with all the former sins of the "Boss,"
which the convention placed upon them to
carry, are destined to certain defeat.
islatnre, insures his election and renders Mr Ulr NUon AnJ.thing to wiu u the 1)emt
Cauthom's befeat sure.
Wedoy Hinton of Monroe, Mr. Parker of
Oneatta, and Mr. Holman of Soap Creek,
were nominttel as representatives. Mr.
Parker was in the last Legislature and, we
are informed, displayed no ability for the
position. Mr. Hinton, although formerly
our neighbor, with whom wo have been well
acquainted for years and found him to be a
good neighbor and a gcntlemtn, but satisfied
we are saf in saying that he possesses no
ability as a legislator. Mr. Holman, as near
as we can learn, is a new man in politics,
and possesses no ability for the position
Our fellow-townsman, J. R Bryson, was
then nominated by acclamation for County
Judge, in whom we have always found a
kind and obliging gentleman. But with the
acknowledged ability and popularity of his
opponent. Judge F. M. Johnson, the pros
pects of Mr. Bryson 's a Ivanceiaeut to the
bench will ba slight.
George Heiikle, of Philomath, was nomi
nated County Clerk by acclamation. With
B. W. Wilson's long experience in this po
sition and faithful and etfi dent manner in
which he has discharged the duties of the
oHice, it will certiinly transpire tint Mr.
Henkle will be elected to stay at home,
and Bush to still run the Clerk's office.
On a close contest by one majority, as
against William Mackay T. W. B. Smith
was nominated for Sheriif. Mr. Smith is
well known in this county, is of about 220
avordupoi3, an I, like most all fat men, he is
a kind of jolly, good-natured fellow. But
Sol King, his opponent, is just as good
natured ami is universally popular with
POLITICAL POINTS.
Election day in Benton county will find
McFadden men scarcer than Democrats in
Iowa.
Vote for M. C. George, who has proved
himself worthy of your confidence and
support.
The voters of the Second Judicial District
are not willing to besmirch the judicial
ermine of this district, and consequently
will vote for R. S. Bean, of Lane.
Citizens of Benton County if yon would
have the affairs of your county conducted
houorab'y and conscientiously, vote the
straight Republican ticket in June.
Tiie Gazette banner, emblazoned with
the motto "Republican always for the
Right," continues to wave, McFadden, his
tool tompson etc., to the contrary notwith
standing. We have no doubt that Hon. M. C George
will be re-elected. If he is he will have
the honor of being the first Representative
iu Congress re elected by the people of this
State during the 23 years that Oregon .has
been a State.
Voters of the Second Judicial District,
when you come to cast your ballots at the
Juno election, don't forte t the injury "Boss"
McFadden tried to do you in his assaults on
the Oregon Pacific through the columns of
the Benton County Blade,
We don't wish to put ourselves sbrward
as a prophet, but please mark this predic
tion: The morning following the coming
June election W. S. McFadden will "war
ble" in a different strain to that he indulged
in at the late "squelchers'" Convention.
The Jacksonville Timet prints J. 0
Smith's speech liefore the Democratic Coi
veution, on the Chinese question, and
thinks it very important; but if it had
oriuted M. C. George's speech upon the
Chinese bill delivered in the house of Rep
resentatives it would not have wasted its
space.
The Yreka Journal says: The Democrats
are not so much opposed to preachers in
politic as they pretended, aud have nomi
nated one for Governor in Oregon. Correct
cratic motto in Oregon and the real stripe
here will sacrifice their religion to their
polities every time.
W. I Worthington whom the Demo
crats have put upon their ticket for State
Superintendent, has but one alias thrt we
have heard of. going by the name of
William Lambert on his arrival in Oregon,
but afterwards concluded that V. L.
Worthington was a real nice name, and
adopted it accordingly.
The Democratic Convention has denounced
the Gazette be. a use of its Republicanism and
its opposition to Democracy ami treason
the twin evils that the honest citizens of this
country have to contend with. We have a
faint recollection of Democratic condemna
tion of Republican doctrine in '61, and
the triumph of the party of patriotism and
honest Government over Boothisin in '65.
And the Republican party of Oregon
will be victorious in June next over
dishonest Government and McFaddcnism.
Railroad offered the only prospective, avail
able means of competition to relieve the
producers of Oregon trom the burdens which
they had been laboring under by means of
sneh oppressive transportation facilities. It
will be wise for voters to take this import
ant subject under consideration and thus
"look before they leap."
POLITIC AL UEilH BJ.OWS
The attempt of "Boss" McFadden last
Saturday when he wrote and placed in the
hands of his pliant tool Mr. Thompson, from
Soap Creek, the resolution mentioned in
another column denouncing the Gazette.
and then caused the resolution to be passed
by the Democratic convention applauding
the ''Boss" and voting himself purer than
the saints (of Satan), is only one among a
hundred or more acts of a similar nature
performed by him during the last five or six
years. By doing this in which he used
Mr. Thempson as his cat's paw, and in
which some members of the convention
acted as his stupid dupes he sought to ut
terly squelch the Gazette, as he hoped, be
yond resurrection; and also to obtain a
"whitewashing" in an extraordinary man ner
for himself, and which his painful con
science told him in thunder-tones that he
must have.
Iu many respects such has been his man
ner to others, but most generally appearing
against his political opponents in his own
party, for so absolute has been his sway in
his own party for the last six years that
whenever he found one of his fellow Demo
crats who opposed his high-handed manner
of manipulating things, or who refused to
run at his beckon, he has in every instance
so far as wo have beeri able to learn dealt
nut to them their political death beyond any
chance or hopes of resurrection to the pres
ent day. His wholesale slaughter of polit
ical opponents in his own farty has been
enormous beyond question, as we find many
Democrats who are living witnesses of his
deceit toward them in leading them to be
lieve something important awaited for them,
and afterwards the political death-stroke
which they received as the fruits of his
political wire-working in favor of others
who were f.ore satisfactory to his purposes.
Unlike those in his own party, however,
who have been so effectually silenced, the
"Boss" will trad, until after election day,
the Gazette to be the liveliest corpse he
ever found in his experience.

The Dalles JlbiLitaineer, published . t
the home of Hon. Z. F. Moody, has the
fcllowiug to say concerning the next Gov
ernor of Oregon :
We are glad to announce the nomination
by the Republican State Convention, of
our townsman, Hon. '.. V. Moody for Gov
ernor of the State of Oregon.
We believe Mr. Moody will be elected
for the next Governor of Oregon. Wre shad
support hie in the belief th..t a sagacious
houorable business man who is in daily con
tact with the people in the pursuance ot
his own affairs, is better acquainted with
the necessary business economy of the com
munity than any man who having made
his fortune, withdraws trom that contact
which is absolutely necessary to enable
any one to be a successful public officer.
We hear all w ho know Mr. Smith, the
candidate of the Democrats for this position,
speck of him with respect, aud say with
his wealth aud situated in Portland, the
political tenter of Oregon (if his wealth will
hold out) that he w:il be a hard candidate
to beat.
Granting th-se argurnt-u's to bu true, we.'
under alt circuin taneas, ratner trust our
matter in the hands of a man identified
with the people; interested iu the active
productive life and business interests of the
masses, than to resurrect a fossil, however
brilliant in tlie memory of the past. Mr.
Moody is an energetic live man, who rec
ognizes and adopts the philosophy of pass
ing events, seeking in the promises of the
future the advantages which may be eiezed
for the benefit of the people, and we feel
sure, if elected, will study the interests of
the people of Oregon with decision and earnestness.
