The only way to relieve the people 4. That the improvement to the entrance ot Yaquina harUir is an object of the deep est interest to Benton county, with special reference to he cei tain results of such im provement in reducing the cost of both in land and ocean transportation of the pro ducts of Benton county and tne whole of middle and southern-Oregon, lyfaci!itatin; the operation an I extending the advantage? of the Oregon Pacific Railroad, an enter prise wlikh should receive the support i poor. from this system of robbery is fo repeal the law and entirely blot it off from our statute books. The Republican p rty of this county came out square on this Subject, and placed them selves in a position to be understood beyond any doubt hy declaring that "We regard the present school-book law as an oppres sive monopoly, and demand its uncondition al repeal." Such is the attitude of the lle- pnblicv.n party, in unmistakable terms, on If the people want the law amended so as to entail upon them and their posterity the obligation of forever complying with tlii-s law, an 1 also prevent ing those who are nnab'e to purchase the books from receiving the benefits of edaca- every citizen in tne v iiiamctte vane) counties regardless of party. 5. That in view of the unequal pressure of the present system of taxation for making ti10 school-book fraud and repairing county roads, steps shoiiiu oe taken to amend the laws in the direction of greater economy in expenditure and a more equitable plan of working. G. That the remuneration of county Clerks and Sheriff's should be by sa'an instead of by fees, and that the amounts of such salaries should be fixed on the principle of a nasonaUe compensation for the amount of work actually performed. 7. That re. id economy should be ex'er r.ised in the expenditure of funds raised by both State and 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 and ui.i 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 REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFCRrV!, The Republican party oi Oregon in convention assembled, to Make u'U ulfir.ii the following d jura tion o: our political ptaaciptas: U:W0io"ED First, t'liat we favor honest, efficient and economic administiation of every department of government. Second. That we favor the equal protection of the right of labor and capita!. T.iird, Wo are in favor of regulating the salaries of eo inty o'.lieeri sa that they shad receive :ucli compulation a arc commensurate with their services. Fourth, That we regard the free school system of our State ai the special care anJ pride oi t!;e Hepuh liean party. Fifth, That it is tne policy o: tac nepBoucan partv re tne acTeiopineni m onrsHue DEMOCRA TIC NOMINEE. Mr. Fcnton tiie Democratic nominee for Congress appeared in this p'ace and spoke at the Kail last Monday to rather a small audience. The audience, however, was fair sized when the fact of the speaking having been in daytiin; is considered. Mr. Fenton i ; a speaker of pleasant appearance and seemed to satisfy the Demo, rats fairly so f it as we are able to learn. Hi3 position oi the Chinese question to the effect that Pe- pnh'ieaos of Oregon must beat Mr. George in order to show Eastern Republican leaders that the people of Orrfon are in earnest on the Chinese question, is certainly wrong because Mr. ti cor ge has voted right on the Chinese bill and all other bills effecting the interests of Oregon ; r.niMor the people of this State to vote against bim and beat him would indicate that the people of Oregon did not approve of his acts. When during all of this time Mr. George has done far better for Oregon than all other Represen tatives ever sent to Congress from this State. tion, they should vote for the Democratic nominees on the legislative ticket of this county. But, on the other hand, if the people desire a legislative ticket elected that will use its utmost endeavor to repeal the law, and thus take this unjust burden off from the people's shoulders, they should vote for the Republican ticket. a POLITICAL POINTS. THE FREE WHISKY ISSUE IN VI ANA. IN The free whisky issue does not seem to bring much harmony into the ranks of the Democracy in Indiana. It has already . be gun to cause trouble. At a party meeting ia Bloomingtoii a resolution was offered condemning the anti-temperance at'itude of the Indianapolis Democrats. It3 discus sion led to some plain-speaking on the part of those pres ut. One speaker asserted that if the recent elections in Indianapolis and Cincinnati were Democratic victories, he was very nearly a Republican, whi e another declared that if there is such a thing as a teperance wing in the Demo cratic party, it had letter show itself, or The last issue of the Oregon Sentinel con tains the following conundrum: "The Stand ard and other Democratic papers clamor for economy ami, as iiicy are etrn my mowing about Governor Thayer's extremely econom ical administration, we would like to know why in thunder did the Democratic party not renominate him':" The suggestion is made in Ohio that ex-Pre-idcnt Hayes bo nominated for Congress man-at-large if it beeomsa necessary to e'.cci a member in that way. The Columbn Journal indorses the suggestion as a capital one, and says that "the time is opp rtnue for Hayes once more to lead the Republican host to victory." The Republicans of Kentucky arc nomi nating colored men for constables and cor oners. Notwithstanding the awful example in his own family, young Mr. English of Indian apolis, the son of his father, propose-i to be come a candidate for Congress. Mrs. Pickett, widow of General George W. Pickett (confederate), va3 appointed to a clerkship in the Quartermaster-GeneraTs office on the recommendation of Oranfc. Governor Foster of Ohio stands by the anti-liquor legislation in that State, and thinks that the people will so emphatically approve it that a Democratic Legislature i:l not dare repeal it. l-i footer and auuetumi bv the coiijtruct'.on oi railways vvhicli will place us . , , i .. i i in direct conmiuni.-ation with oar sUter states. he would soon beheYe it IS rightly termed , w hisk v organization. The party organs are also in doubt whether any permanent strength has been brought to the party by those' who voted with it at the spring elec tions. The Michigan City Dixpatck says that the municipal victories were won by German votes, and intimates that they ere not likely to remain with the Democratic party in a National contest, as "they are neither Greenbackers nor Free-traders; they are a very conservative Bet, much inclined to let well enough alone, and not desirous of fiscal changes. " Sixth. That we hoid all curpor&t.oits to uc si net!; responsible to their liabilities under the Jaw, and reeogniz.'the right of tlie Legislature to enact ail reasonable limitations on corporate powers. Seventh, That to the end that all settlers u; on all unearned railroad land ; in ti:is state nay be en abled to obtain titles without delay, amd that tho.se seeking hones may not b i embarrass. 1 in the loca tion of land s, we fav jr such action by Congress as will place such lands within reach of actual settlerd at a price not exceed. ng. t"2 ,V.l r.er acre, under such conditions and provisions as will secure the railway companiej in any vested rights or equities th.yicay have in the proceeds of such land s.

Ninth. That the ra;:dly increasing manufacturing ani wool-raising interests of the state de a'ld the continued fostering care of the general government . Teiith, That the reciprocity treaty with the Sand wich islands is an imposition upon the government and the people, and should besjeeJiy abrogated. Eleventh, That by the generous policy o: tne Re publican party in Congress, liberal appropriations have been made to various portions of the state, and we favor a continuance o: thi. liberal policy for the development of our state and especiaUj for the im provement of the Columbia river anil its tr.butarie-, the Yaquina and Cms bays, and propose harbor of refuge ot Port Onord, the Dtttpqaa, Co uilic oiui S uslaw rivers, the construction of the locks at the Cascades and the Dalles of the Columbia river, as well as other sections oi our slate. Twelfth, We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic death of James Abrani Cariield, late president of the United States, who was shot down while in tiie discharge of his official duties by the hand of a cowardly assassin, and we approve and applaud the practical wisdom, the unselfish patrotism and the unswerving fidelity to the constitution and the principles cf American li crty with which. James A. Garfield discharged under circumstance of unparall eled ditficuitic-ithe duties and responsibilities of tiie presidential olh'ce during his brief occupancy there. Thirteenth, We regard Preo.ient Arthur's ,eto of the bill for restriction of Chinese inimigrat:on as un wise and unjust, and we condemn the policy which prompted it as being opposed to the principles of the Republican party as expressed in the platform of our last national Republican conventions; and We heartily com nen J oar Representative in Con -grass. Hon. M. C. George, for hjs able efiorts to secure the passace of such bill; and We here earnestly declare it to be our !e!ief that Chinese Immigration to the United States should lie restricted, and we demand that our Representatives in Congress shall persist in advocating the enact ments of a law that will effectually accomplish this result. Fourteenth, That we heartily endorse the course of our atle Congressman. Hon. M C. Ccorgc, in Lis untireing efforts in behalf of our state; and that w-e heartily approve the eeor.o ide al and ctlicient admin istration on the part of our present Republican State otficers. Republican County Convcnt'on Platform. The Committee on Resolutions submitted the following report, which was unanimous ly adopted : Mc. President We, your Committee on Resolutions, beg leave to submit the follow ing -. The Repub'ican party of Denton county, in convention assembled on this Sth day of April, 18S2, hereby make the following declaration of principles : 1. That the laws regulating the assessment an I collection of taxes should be so amended that all classes of property shall lear an equal proportion of the public burden; and that all sums evidenced by note and secur ed by mortgage ou real estate should be made taxable in the county where such real estate is situated. . 2. That the Republican party deeply re grets and strongly deprecates the notion of President Arthur in vetoing the bill for re stricting Chinese immigration lately passed by both Houses of Congress, and asserts the right of the American nation to prevent the incursion of hordes of Asiatics, whose cheap labor may improperly depress the wages earned by American citizens in many departments of life. 3. That inasmuch as the people pre the primary source of power under our Repub lican government, and as consequently all corporations derive their existence anil ex ercise all functions by virlue of rights gran ted by the people thuraselves, 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 encroachius; on ami oppressing the people. That with special reference to common carriers, extortionate fares and freights, and the discrimination in rates, times and distances between cor responding classes of passengers and freight, EASTERN OREGON LANES. The Orejjonian of May 4th reprinted the following extract from the PrinevtUe Newx without any word of dissent. Of the truth fulness of the description we have no iloub'. B it these are some of the ltnds through which the Oregon Pacific line will run, previously described' by the Oregoma as barren and worthless. So here again truth come out at last: It would seem that the question of the probable value of oar 3a 3 brush land, es pecially that which U situated in the valleys, and with elevations above the neighboring streams of from 50 to 100 feet, had been de termined at bi3t. In 1831 forty bushels of w heat to the acre were grown on such lands. Mr. Pattee. who is a practical farmer, was convinced of the practicability of cultiva ting such lands, that have hitherto been looked upon as almost entirely valueless, ex cept for grazing purposes, and with industry and easy l ib r has cleared sage, plowed. and sown upward of 150 acres of this land on the bench north of town, and expect3 to reap a bountiful harvest of grain. The pros pects at present are sufficient to convince any ones that this kin 1 of soil will grow a good harvest of wheat, oats, barley or rye Of course the season must be favorable, else the grain will not properly mature. And . li must the seasons be favorable II! other places to ins a r j a go I quantity of wheat, oats, etc Mr. Pattee but week refuse I an offer of S2O0O for his farm. The most bean tiful locations can be found in this part of Wasco county. Thousands of acres of land, level as a td-.or, almost, can be selected in one body, in many ulaccs. SCHOOL-BOOK LA W. The late Demoara.tic County Convention adopted as one of the main planks of their platform the following: 'We favor an amendment of the present school-book law." In what way do they want it amended? Do thy desire an amendment in such way that the kinds of books cau be changed much oftener than heretofore, or so that a poorer quality of book can be forced upon the people m oruer that those holding a monopoly of the book adopted can the betcr rill their own pocket3 and rob the people? The plank above alluded to, in which the Democratic party declares that they are in favor of amending the school-book law, is what their legislative ticket is pledged to do in the event they should be successful at the polls. An amendment is all the jeople could expect of them, in any event. As to what that amendment would be the people are in the dark. In fact, you cannot amend Buch a law so a3 to make it any better for the people. Every time it is amended it makes it more burdensome and oppressive than before for the people to comply with. The only purpose this law has ever served is to burden and oppress the people and re- ' WHOLES A L B INS UL TS. " In tiie lust issue of the Leader the editors of that paper take a great deal of consola tion in writing a communication to them selves under the "tit!e" of '"Wholesale Insults" signed "Democrat" and particularly directed to the Gazette, concerning some late remarks reardinn; W. S. McFailden's candidacy for District Judge. This won dcrful self-to-self directed communication says: ''lint when he, (meaning the Gazette). charges that the Democratic party of this county have no more brains or manhood than to he fed around by tiie nose by any man, he simply writes himself down an ass, and will probably learn after a while that nren will not pay him to abuse them." We never wrote, said, or published any thing about the intelligence or manhood of the Democratic party or anything to reflect ou either faculty. The Democratic party of New York was at cue time domineered over and controlled by '"Eossism" in the person of Tweed, to such an extent that it came near ruining the city government and srious'y effected Stats affairs. Yet uo one cither Democratic or Republican ever in timated that in discussing the subject of Bossism in that case that it was any re flection on the sense or m inhood of ihe rank and file of the Democratic party of that city on account of beinj subject to such "Boss ism" and leadership. On the other hand at a later day the Republican party of New York has been umler the "Bossism" contro'l dictation, and led by the nose in the person of Roscoe Conkling; an 1 still in referring to this calamity to New Y-rk Rcpub icanism which has been discussed all over the United States no one either Democrat or Republican in thus discussing the subject ever thought that such discussions reflected upon the good sense or manhood of the Re publican party of that State. The fact of the business is that both parties occasion ally get hold of a "Boss" and there can be no successful denial of it. It was not out expectation to make anybody believe that the Democratic party had a nose and that Mr. McFadden had that organ between his thumb and finijer leading it around. But (puite a considerable proportion of t ic Democrats of this county (not a le.v of them as Mr. McFadden would like to make yon believe) but a great many of them for the last several years have been constantly asserting that Mr. McFadden was leading th. t portion of the party which . enera'ly controlled and made the nomina tions; that the same portion of the party run to him for his suggestions and dicta tions and that the same were taken for grantesl and acted upon and that he dicta ted the nominations and set un the con ventions in such shape so that his taction of the party and particular frn-nds only could get the nominations. When any quantity of Democrats in the county enter tained and expressed these views about Mr. McFadden and having been along side of him for about eight years and having earned ourselve3 a great deal about his maneuvering we believed these matters as testiticd to by so many Democrats to lie true. Instead therefore of enumerating ail of these things, we cut the matter short in order to express the idea, by calling him "Boss" and stateiug that he led themby the nose. When we entered upon the important duty of critisizing Mr. McFadden's qualifi cations for Circuit Judge which took into consideration his political and public career in every particular, we did not expect that we was getting into a party or political con troversy, because the position of Circuit Judge is not political in any respect and there is scarcely any persrfn who feels any interest in the position from a political standpoint; but every person should feel a persrnal interest in the qualifications of any psrson who is rnnning for Judge, be cause life iilierty and uroperty nra continu ally brought before the courts fur protec tion and without a purs and intel'igent Judge there can be un. security for either. Mr. McFadden, however, preferred to make J it a political controversy in order to assist in woking up a party feeling for him; and hence he caused the resolution which was referred to last week to be introduced in the Convention. Tiie pass ge of this reso lution absolutely forced upon us a contro- I versy with the Convention and thus com pellc 1 us to devote the space to that body which we occupied last week. Hereafter we shall devote more of our space to friend McFadden's qualifications rather than to the Convention unless the latter is again in some way forced upon ns. The introduc tion and passage of the resolutions referred to tends more than ever before to convince us that we were right in the belief that McFadden had almost absolute influence overth-' nominating power of the Demo-J cratic party so much so as to be the leader. Because the passage of resolutions endors ing a party nominee and at t1 e same time reprimanding somebody else is unparalleled in political history. It is hard to acknowledge or sometimes to convince one's self that a man exercises such inSnenee m a party as to control it and load it. yet such things do happen. We are ashamed of the fact that Conkling lias so long led and controlled Republican poli tics in New York and thus disgraced Re publicanism and our country, but the bare facts s'.are us in the face and eyes and we are forced to admit it. And when we find it to be trna we oppose it as strongly as we would if it occurred in Democratic circles. !f there is any one thing which will tend more than any other to rain this country of ours it is political "i'ossism" and polit itd dictation; and it stands every American citizen to look out for them whenever the' can be found regardless of any party or po litical considerations. We do not ask any body to pay us for abuaring them, neither have we abused anybody; we have only told what is true about Mr. McFadden and his on&Hhcations ranch of which he has told himself with his own lips. .Some Demo cr t? to be sure have subscribed for the Gazette yet in doing so they certainly did not expect they were buying any control! of the policy or course of our editorial col umns. We do not w nit any subscriptions from parties who expect that by such sub scription they purchase any controll of our life, our iiberly, our principles or the col -nmns of our paper; we would feel asham ed for any one who expected it. Since running the Gazette we have given parties enough news and general informa tion to 1 cwortli the subscription price of the paper and our editorial comments we give 'ree and people can read or let them akme as best suits their turn of mind. The only offence we have committed is in our absolute duty to the public in showing them that Mel'ad lea by his acts and miss oiviugs is not qualified to tiil thi office of ludge. If the Leader was a fair minded journal in the interests of the people she would show up Mr. McFadden's qualifications as we have done; because all of these things regarding him can be ascertained by the L -i b'r by a little investigation in the in terests of truth. Rut Mr. McFadden sought to make it a political light by introducing his resolution into the Convention and thus forceing the controversy on to thjs Convtn tion. The Leader also wants it as MeK. lid. Whin McK. growls the Leader al ways barks his echo. introduced by him. During the same cam paign when the Blade was making disgrace ful and unfounded attacks on Sol King the best Shei iff that Benton county ever had, claiming that he was behind with the county and at the same time Mr. McFadden for two years had had continual access to the county tecords and had inspected the ac counts of Mr. King regularly and yet daring the w hole ol that campaign Mr. McFadden did not appear, able or willing to find out the trail) of (hose matters rotating to Mr. King. But after the election was over it was an easy matter for him to get at the truth when he found that the county owed Mr. King S'ltXO in place of Mr. King owing the bounty anyihii g and Mr. McFadden's county court accordingly allowed an order to Mr. King for that amount. It is for the people to judge whether this was a scheming electioneei ing dodge or not. Sol King, v. ho has ever been found to be "as honest as the day is long," through the canvass told the people the truth of the mat ter that he did not owe the county anything The people believed him an 1-reelected him and.repudiated the falsehood that was gotten up to beat him with. The people and Mr. King was right about it and all at once after the election Mr. McFadden also dis covered that Mr. King did not owe the count' anything but that the county owed him a large sum. At this election the ''tables are turned." Mr. McFadden is rnn ning for an office for which he is in no way qualified, and yet when his qualifications are brought up for discussion concerning matters many of which be has told and a - knowledged himself, he ingeniously at tempts to avoid the controversy and by an effort scarcely ever before thought of in political history, cunningly seeks to throw the whole matter on to his County Con vention for that body to carry in pi tee of himself. A DIFFERENCE WHEN TIIE TA BLES ARE TURNED. When Mr. McFadden interviewed ns on the day of the late Democratic County Con vention while Talking to us about the com ments on his political course, he objected to our havino said that he made an active canvass of a county in Pennsylvania for the Republican nomination for Clerk. He said it was not for Clerk; possibly it was not, it might have been Recorder; at any rate soon after we became acquainted with him he told us as he also did several others of having canvassed there for a Republican nomination and of his failing to get it and that as soon thereafter as he could be left for Oregon. He also objecte 1 to our bavin a referred to the matter of showman which we did not do with the intention of casting any reflect on, bat for the simple reason of showing how little time elapsed ami what, little he done from the time of leaving Pennsylvania as a Republican until the time of his being a Democrat in Oregon. He objects to the idea that he has an intense desire for office. When a man suddenly leaves his native State because he became so disgssted with his defeat for official position and after reaching his place of des tination pursues the course that he has, since being here we are willing to leave the m ittor v th the people to judge of his de sire for office without further comment from us. lie also objected to Cue question 'dsi Democrats expect that such a man whose political principles change so often for bis erscnal a Ivaneement will not change his opinions when on the bench if a suf ficient motivepowtr was found?" This is the question which is affirmed by most ail of mankind at the present day for there ison that they contend that it i, unwise and im proper to put any man u.-on the bench wdio has been an active manipulator and wire worker in polities; because it is said that such politicians while in politics make combinations and become under obligations to other men in such close intimacy that if any of such men become engaged in litiga tion before the court with tuch politicians on the bench, that such court under the pres sure of past political ties in its weakness is too apt to lean toward such political friends and thus serve its own ends and favor those with whom past political obligation had been formed. It seems to make a great deal of difference whose corr.n are pinched during a race for official position. Daring the last county campaign in this county when the old , Blade was going for the Republican candi dates and giving to the public all kinds of unfounded slush, when Mr. McFadden at the same time was one of the editors of that paper, uo fault to such a course ,was found by Mr. McFadden and no resolutions ware NEW FIR! !

' I suppose if a person would take the trouble to look over a few coppies of the Benton County Blads that were issued while Judge McFadden was principal editor, just previous to the 1 st Presidential elec tion, he would find some interesting litera tnre. Almost every number contains tie most disgraceful and false accusations against James A. Garfield.
