FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 11, J884
En tered it th i Pnth:j at Corvallis
Oregon, as second-class matter
EDITED BY
IvI. S. WOODCOCK,
OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COurlTY
ANNOUNCEMENT.
During the present week Mr. A. P.
Churchill, a practical printer and
voting man of some experience in
newspaper work, has purchased a half
interest in this paper and the printing
office connected therewith. Since the
purchase the Gazette, its business
and the printing office and its business
generally has been incorporated, and
to be known as the "Gazette Publish
ing House," and for the purpose of do
ing a general publishing and printing
business. The incorporators are
Wallace Paldwin, A. P. Churchill and
M. S. Woodcock. The stock is all
taken and the interests of the new cor
poration in the business commences
with the first of the present month.
Hereafter Mr. Churchill will have
full charge of the local and business
department of the company and assist
and oversee generally nay other de
partment of the company's work.
It is the intention in the future to
put forth continuous efforts to so im
prove the Gazette and endeavor to
bring and keep it up to such a stand
ard that the people will regard it as an
absolute necessity in every family.
POLITICAL PARTIES IN THE FUTURE AS
IN THE PAST.
The Democratic papers of the coun.
try are, generally giving themselves
mvudi roncern about the probable
success and reverses of the Republican
viarty in the presidential campaign of
1884. Because the differences be
tween the different elements of the
Republican party and the doings of
individual members of the paity have
brought about sharp discussions among
Republican papers and hotly contested
differences between party men, these
Democratic fortune-tellers reason that
therefore these differences in the Re
publican ranks must and will bring
about weakness in the Republican
party, but on the contrary the reverse
is the case. The Republican party
ever since its organization has steadily
labored to eliminate from its code of
principles all those things introduced
by individual members of the party,
not in conformity with the true in
terests of the party, and not for the
best interests of the people at large.
In doing this the party has gradually
expelled from among the party lead
ers those men who were lost to the
principles of the party and were using
their place therein for personal ends
and contrary to the public good. The
Democratic partv for the last twenty
five years has pursued an entirely
different course. It has' followed its
party leaders with implicit confidence
regardless of their motives or princi
ples and have steadily avoided any
steadfast and consistent observance of
any code of principles. The Demo
cratic party during that time has
welcomed almost any and everything
to its ranks and party leadership and
the only thing which has been ob
served with any degree of consistency
is their longing desire for the offices
and to put the Republicans out re
gardless of any consistent reason or
principle except to participate in the
spoils of office. Such being the
temper of the Democratic party it is
impossible for their party leaders and
organs to understand why the Repub
lican party can so successfully hang
together and grow stronger every day
and still undergo such hard fought
contests within its ranks. The Re
publican party was founded at a par
ticular time when absolute dissolution
was threatened to our government, and
it was not brought into existence for
the purpose of awarding the offices
to the members of the party, but it
was born and reared for the purpose
of saving the life of the government.
In order to succeed in this life saving
work it was absolutely necessary and
essential that it should be formed em
bodying those party principles as a
foundation which if pursued and fol
lowed out would save the nation from
destruction. Brought into existence
at that critical time based upon those
perpetual life saving principles and
composed of that class of men who
loved their country dearer than their
own lives was the grand old Republi
can party. This class of men in the
party and who make its principles
their own when a national contest is
at hand lay aside all sectional strife
and individual differences and work
for the principles and r eneral success
of the whole party and the public
ood, while those in the party who
hold their personal wishes above all
public considerations regardless of
principle drift along for awhile and
when they find they can not run the
party to their own personal ends they
become weary, denounce the party,
draw out of it. join the Democratic
patty and become the best kind of
full fledged Democrats, and thus it is
likely to continue. At the critical
time in this country's history when the
Republican party was created, its prin
ciples and aims were steadfastly and
bitterly opposed arid contested step by
step by the Democratic party, and
such opposition has been steadily
maintained ever since. The Repub
lican party so long as it continues to
sustain those life perpetuating princi
ples and protect and foster the inter
ests of its people so long must it come
out victorious. There is no reason
why Republican victory should not
crown the contest of 1884.
W C KING.
A Trick That Could Better be Expected
From a Sliglit-of-hand Performer Un
worthy of the Dignity of a
Man.
About one year ago the undersigned,
then and now the publisher and pro
prietor of the "Corvallis Gazette," had
under consideration the propriety of
starting a new temperance paper at
Corvallis, Oregon, believing that such
a paper was a necessity in this State.
Already being editor of the "Gazette,"
and my time being fully occupied with
editorial duties, I glanced around for
some one to take hold of the editorial
department Dr. T". V. B. Embree, a
long standing and active worker in the
feause of temperance here, whom I
knew to be a good writer on temper
ance subjects, was invited to take part
in the enterprise. After considering
the matter Dr. Embree agreed with
me that the enterprise was one which
ought to be put in operation, but as
we were both closely confined to this
place, Dr. Embree suggested that it
would be well to have some one inter
ested in it, who was out among the
people and travelling over the State.
At his suggestion W. C, King, the
temperance lecturer, was invited to
take part, which he accepted, aud
finally after some delay the "Home
Guard," a little semi-monthly, 16 col
umn temperance paper was started
October 15 th, last, with the under
standing that I, under the name of
the "Gazette Publishing House,"
should print and publish the same, arjd
that King and Dr. Embree should edit
it and look after the business depart
ment. Immediately after the first is
sue came out, King directed letters
both to Embree and myself stating that
he thought he could get along better
without Embree's assistance. Embree
not being particular about it consented
and did step out as King suggested.
Just before the issue of Dec. 15th,
I received a letter from King at Rose
burg stating that after considering the
matter he had concluded that it was
best for me to step out of the enter
prise and let him have it as he pre
ferred to run it himself. I replied that
I would talk with him about the mat
ter when he returned to Corvallis.
Upon his return he came to see me
and said he dasired to take the paper
himself and publish it at Portland as
he did not care to continue as it was.
He further said that if it was not satis
factory to me to sell to him, then he
desired to sell to me and let him out
of it. I informed him that I would
look around and give him an answer as
soon as I had time to see what was
best to do. I immediately began to
look around to find suitable parties to
take hold of the matter so as to put
the editorial branch of the work in able
hands; but in a day or two I received a
drop letter from King stating that he
had concluded not to sell his interest
under any consideration.
After receiving said drop letter
I endeavored to get an opportunity
to interview him, but could never get
to talk with him on the subject until
Saturday evening, Dec. 29th, when
he informed me that he would not do
anything in the matter except to take
it off of my hands, (on his own terms),
but before parting that evening he
agreed to meet me on the following
Monday. I went to see him at the
appointed time- and place and he
came not but sent his wife to say that
he was sick, although he was rushing
around town packing up all that day
and evening in order to depart early
next morning. On Tuesday's mail, the
first day of January, there came almost
a duplicate copy of the "Home Guard"
which he had issued in Portland and
which explained itself as well as the
low down trick which King had been
secretly playing in the matter. After
the issue of Dec. 15th had been print
ed in my office, and up to the 1st day
of January, and while he was endeav
oring to make believe that he wanted
to buy me out of the "Guard," h had
secretly arranged with parties in Port
land to have it printed there and had
deliberately taken, so far as he could,
my interest and property in the
"Guard" to Portland to have it issued
and published there, thus deliberately
intending to deprive me of my prop
erty in the "Guard" without my con
sent. Property in a newspaper or a tem
perance paper is just as much pro
perty as a man's ownership in a house,
a farm, a piece of land, a horse or a
twenty dollar piece. If King is so
greedy and selfish as to thus disregard
another's property, rights and owner
ship in a paper, what if any good
would he be to the temperance cause
or any of its societies if he should get
them under his control ? Would he
pickup the interests of temperance
n this Sta'e and carry it off to other
parts, or not ? A man who goes over
the country preaching reform ought to
set a better example than those whom
he talks of reforming. If Mr. King
travels over the country lecturing
about the sins and iniquities of the
saloon traffic, and at the same time
telling of the saloon keepers, making
men drunk and robbing the drunkards
and their families of their hard earned
substance unto want and starvation,
he himself should be made of better
material than he is, for during the several
years which we have owned a newspaper
never before did we hear of a saloon
keeper, or any other person, so lost
to human rights, and so low in deg
redation and principle, as to take from
another his rights in a paper as this
man King has attempted to do with
our interest in the "Guard."
The temperance cause is too important
to be tied up to such a manipulator as
King, Before sending him out to
further preach reform to others he first
should be reformed and taught the
first great principle of honesty so far
as to pay a just regard to other peo
ple's rights to property, although
those rights should only be an owner
ship in the "Guard." Since the issue
of the "Guard" of Dec. 15th the com
munications sent for publication there
in, letters, fcc, King has taken them
from the postoffice and taken them
with him also. All letters, either on
business or for publication in the
'Guard," until further notice is given,
should be addressed to 'Gazette'
Publishing House," Corvallis, Oregon.
M. S. Woodcock.
Having read the foregoing state
merit of M. S. Woodcock in regard to
the tricks of W. C. King in attempting
to take the "Home Guard" from
Benton county, I can say that said
statement is true.

District Deputy.
IRREGULAR HAIL TO KINGS VALLEY.
Nearly every winter the people of
Kings Valley are troubled in, getting
their mail. Papers mailed here on
Thursday evening, and are carried out
to Philomath by the Yaquina mail line'
on Friday morning, should reach Kin.s
Valley postoffice on the same day they
leave here, but the people there are
unable to get them until the following
Tuesday. The occasion of this is be
cause the mails at Philomath do not
connect as they should. Under the
two contracts for the different routes
the mail earner is permitted to leave
here for Philomath and Yaquina Bay
at 6 o'clock in the morning and can
not leave before that time, while the
carrier from Philomath to Kings Valley
and Dallas is also permitted to leave
Philomath at 6 o'clock in the morning,
although if he should exercise the
proper accommodation that he should,
so as to leave Philomath not before
eight o'clock in the morning, he would
be able to get the mail for the Kings
Valley people on the day they should
have it, while he would then have
ample time to get to Dallas, a distance
of 34 miles, by six o'clock in the even
ing, being the time given him under
the contract. On the other hand the
contractors from here should endeavor
to get off at six o'clock promptly in the
morning and make Philomath without
unnecessary delay.
By the carriers on both routes thus
being accommodating in the matter,
all could get their mail promptly, and
everybody connected therewith be bet-
er oft for having rendered the necessa
y accommodation to the public.

THE MOST SUCCESSFUL REMEDY ever
discovered, as it is certain in its effects and
does not blister. Also excellent for human
flesh. B E AD PKOOF BELOW:
SAVED Hill l,$00 90LIARS.
Apams, N. Y. . Jan 30, 1883.
Dr. D. ,T. Kendall & Co , Gents:- Having used a
good deal of your Kendall's Spavin Cure with great
success, I thought 1 would let you know what it 1 as
done for me. Two years ago 1 had as speedy a colt
as was ever raised in Jefferson county. When I was
breaking him, he kicked over the cross bar and got
fast and tore one of his hind legs all to pieces. I
employed the best ferricrs, but they all said be was
spoiled. He had a very large thorough-pin, and I
used two bottles of your Kcmdall's Spavin Cure, and
it took the bunch entirely off, and he sold afterwards
for $1800 (dollars). I have used it for bone spavins
and wind galls, and it has always cured complete,
and left the leg smooth.
It is a splendid medicine for rheumatism. I have
recommended it to a good many, and thev all say it
does the work. I was in Withenngton & Kneeland s
drug store, in Adams the other day and saw a very
tine picture you sent them. I tried to buy it but
could not: they said if I would write to you that you
would send mc one. I wish you would and I will do
vou all the good I can.
3 Very Respectfully, E. 8. LYMAN.
From the Akron Commerci
al, Ohio. Nov. 25, 1883.
Readers of the Commercial can not well forget
that a large space has for ycara been taken up by
Kendall's advertisement especially of a certain
Spavin Cure. We have had dealings with Dr. Ken.
dull for many years, and I he truth is fully ard faith
ullv proven not only that he Is a good honest man,
and that his celebrated gpavin Cure is not only all
that it U recommended to be. but that the English
language's not capable of recommending too highly.
Kendall's Spavin Cure will cure spavins. There
are hundreds of cases in which that has been proven
trt r,tir-rt.nin knowledge, but. after all, if any person
confines the usefulness of this celebrated medicine
to curing spavins alone, they make a big mistake.

as it is to horses. We know that there are other

be far better than am- ever invented.
