The Republican p rty of this county came
out square on this Subject, and placed them

Mr. Fcnton tiie Democratic nominee for

at the Kail last Monday to rather a small
audience. The audience, however, was fair
sized when the fact of the speaking having

seemed to satisfy the Demo, rats fairly so

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.

condemning the anti-temperance at'itude
of the Indianapolis Democrats. It3 discus

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

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

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

offer of S2O0O for his farm. The most bean

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

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.

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
