One of the surest signs that there
publican, ticket will be elected in Ore
gon is the fact that the democratic
. papers, use more space in the abuse of
it than in. praise of their own.
Sylvester Pennoyeb loves the labor
vote. Nb promise of future- rewards
to the man of toil can find, too ready
an.utterance from his facile tongue.
What has he done for laboring men
this &sfc four years? Wherein have the
bread-winners of Oregon homes been.
benefited through him?. Echo answers,
wherein? . " '
Througli the efficient management
of Hon. F. C. Baker the stale printing
department has become a featuie in
which every citizen of Oregon may
well take pride, not only because of the
complete modern equipment of his
office but also on account of the su
perior appearance of the work turned
out of his hands. The accuracy and
dispatch with which state printing is
now accomplished is a strong appeal
towards his support on June 2d next.
E. M. Belknap is a man above re
proach He is an industrious man
and a most worthy citizen in every re
spect. Although his health has been
poor and he- has been unfortunate in
some partnership, affairs yet he has
labored assiduously to make the only
midline shops ever established here,, a
benefit to the community as well as re
munerative to himself. Mr. Belknap
is, deserving of popular support and,
although his opponent is a worthy
young man, his chances for election
are exceedingly flattering.
We want to urge upon, republicans all
over the county, the importance of
earnest steadfast work from now. till
the day of election. Members of the
party in every precinct should organize
an aggressive eampaign for.tbg p,wpose
of securing as large, a-vote and as great
a-majority as possible It is to the
best interest of- the county and state to
have- a- "republican government,, and
nothing will secure this except lepubli
can votes.. . With every republican in
Benton, county fully alive to the- im
portance of the- campaign? there will be
, no stay at home voters, ' and' the ma
jority for the ticket will be greater
than two years ago.
DEMOCRATIC CONSISTENCY
As the Portland1 water bill seems to
be the whole- stock in " trade of. the
democratic party it is well to observe
some acts of that party and individual
efforts of those who are at this time
pawing the political dust. (See House
Bill No. 32, page 337, House Journal,
session 1887.) The original bill pro
vided for the issuance of non-taxable
bonds to the amount of $700,000.. The
amendment proposed to increase the
sum asked for in the original bill to
$1,200,000, same-kind of bonds, "non
taxable for county, state and municipal
purposes. ftvery candid person
would naturally suppose, it impossible
to find a democrat, especially one who
is at present crying loudly against the
iniquity of non-taxable bonds, who
would vote for the first proposition
much less the last one. Alas for the
frailty of human nature, if we could
only vote by ballot in legislative mat
ters, and wipe out the annoying roll
call, what a blessing it would be to
future candidates! Our duty, how-1
ever, is positive and we must examine
the record no matter how many "noble
Romans" suffer. First, there is Lark
Bilyeu, an N. R.; next, Biggs (of Pen-'
noyer rump railroad commission);
next, Hon. M. M. Davis, a young N.
R.; next Hon. R. A Miller, our "Bob,"
whose father crossed the plains,' "etc.,
etc., etc.; next, Hon, John Osburn
don't that beat all?- But quakerish ap
pearances are deceptive. And who
would believe it! Hon. .D. M. Van-
derpool, our fine old granger friend.
Don't hurry us please, the next name
nearly took our breath Hon. S. G.
Thompson, the immaculate candidate
for state senator on the democratic
ticket Is it not surprising how solidly
these "noble Romans" stood up for
that bill, to issue $1,200,000 non-tax
able bonds? They never realized what
a damnable crime they had committed
until his excelleny) Governor Pennoyeb,
walked onto the floor of the house
with his private secretary and cracked
his whip, when every one hunted the
smallest possible hole and crawled
into it to await the day when his ex?
cellency needed them to re-nominate
and assist in eating dirt to the end
that he might be re-elected. : There
was strong democratic opposition to
the governor's veto of this bill. One
prominent gentleman of this county,',
who assisted in manufacturing a dem
ocratic platform at the late county
convention condemning the. republi
cans for their part on the water bill,
grew quite lachrymose (a habit of his)
when he described the governor's, "in
humanity to man" in depriving the
people of Portland of the privilege of
pure water, he said- democrats liked
pure watsr, once in awhile, and he
believed Pennoyer was a crank of con
siderable magnitude. Yet to-day this
man and all those noble Romans"
who supported the Portland water bill
will continue to sing Pennoyer's
praises until the sun goes down on
the 2nd day of June, 1890.
Mr. Vidito, the nominee of the re
publican party for assessor, draws a
pension from the government; not for
the . loss of his arm, as has been re
ported, but from personal disabilities
caused during active service in defense
of his . country. Mr Vidito was so
unfortunate as to Jose an arm while
working to make a living for. his fam
ily, and it exhibits a degree of base
ness seldom equalled for any one to
represent that his pension was obtain
ed for the loss- of his arm when such
is not the case. Stories of this kind
may "fill in" for "campaign wadding"
but they make very poor mamunition,
and always under-shoot the mark.
Probably no office to be filled at
this coming election will more directly
affect the tax payers of the county,
than that of commissioner. The
judge and two county commissioners
compose the county court for the trans
action of county business and whhin
this body will be found both the spigot
and the bung of the taxpayers inter
ests. This court affixes the rate of
taxation for county expenses and dis
burses the co.unty funds. They should
be men whose judgment is good and
who are able to see beyond the' present
hour.- Mr,. F: J. Chamber is such a
man and will make, a good commis
sioner. "
Farmers, who question, themtintv of
agricultural .experimental stations will
do well to make themselves acquainted
with, the- purpose-of such- institutions,
their methods " and the-wssulta of tfeeu?
work in order that criticism- may have
the merit of intelligence. Ex.. - -
A FEIDJVD: IMDEED-
,-T,
To what institution can Oregon point
with more pride than the "State Agri
cultural College? What single factor
more clearly indicates a condition of
future greatness to the people of Ben
ton county? There was a time, within
the memory of all, when other localir
ties, seeing the value- of this institu
tion to any community, strove mightily
to tear it from its foundations and
draw unto themselves the chief seat of
learning in the Northwest. There was
another time when the legislature- ot
Ocegon gave the citizens of this county
an assurance of co-operation on certain
conditions. The citizens fulfilled those
conditions, but a subsequent legislature
composed partially of other members,
witnessed a spirit arising within- itself
to heed not former promises but remove
the college.
With this spirit there also came to
the front the friends of Benton county,
and men imbued v ith a sense of jus
tice toward her claims. " Among these
men of Integrity, and occupying a
position of influence, was the secretary
of state, a member of the board of :
regents and a man in whose heart
there is no guile. From his large
acquaintance amongst the members,
and bis intimate connection with the
legislature, Geo. W. McBride found
himself in a position to materially aid
or mar the prosperity ' of the Oregon
Agricultural College. And how did he
employ his enviable prestige? ' Ask to
whom was due the appointment and
selection of the committee who made a
favorable report to the last legislature
oaUhe condition of this school, and
you will find, when correctly informed,
that in this important matter Mr. Mc
Bride wielded a powerful-influence.
And the report of this committee was
the hinge upon which the door to all
the subsequent appropriations and ben
efits swung." An unfavorable report
from this committee would have virtu
ally brought the institution to a -standstill
To the wisdom of "his advice,
the sagacity of his choice and the ear
nestness pt his purpose the people of
Benton county owe, in large meas
ure, the result of that committee's
work. And in the appropriations for
the benefit of the college which follow
ed, and'especially that for the erection
of a large and commodious dormitory,
by means of which it became possible
for many young persons to attend the
school who otherwise could not,' the
valuable support given by Mr. McBride
is inestimable. Without his devotion
o this object it is doubtful, indeed, if
the permanence of this location could
have been maintained.
In other respects Mr. McBride has
made a capable and efficient secretary
of state. He has conducted the de
partment of state for Oregon with dig
nity and credit, "and. no reasonable
objections can be urged to his contin
uing to serve in this capacity. - The
people of Benton county owe it to their
own best interests to roll up a hand
some majority for. Secretary McBride
next June, and if the public's loyalty
to its own good can be relied upon they
will do so.
Fob county surveyor Mr. O. V. Hurt
is a very, agreeable candidate. He
understands that business thoroughly.
He is an experienced woodsman and
can trace an old line as well as any
man" in the country. He is a very
painstaking man and will never leave a
survey, before it is complete. . His
work can be" relied-upon. And the
people want that kind of a county surveyor-
They want a man whose occu
pation is such that he can attend, to
their work when they need a surveyor.
Mr. Hurt fills the bill m this respect
also. It may be that his opponent does
not possess all of these qualifications.
Benton county needs a man in .the
state senate who has her interests at
heart. A man who is acquainted with
the divers wants of the county, and
they are many; and also a person of
intelligence and energy enough to ad
vocate her cause and the best interests
of the state; in an effective manner
Hor C. B. - Crosno's record in the-
legislature last term is & criterion to
indicate- his ability and willingness to
serve his county acceptaily as senator.
. C. E. Moor and Miles T. Starr are
both good men." .If elected as repre
sentatives they will serve the interests
oli Benton county well. - -

CO ITNTY RECORDER.
; Both parties- of this county passed
resolutions at their conventions favor
ing the election of a recorder for the
county. The measure was brought
up for action at the last, session of the
legislature, though was defeated
through the efforts of a number ot the
leading republicans. As several other
counties of the state now have a re
corder, there is no reason why Benton
should not have one also. Benton
Leader, May 9.
The Leader should be careful when
it makes assertions like the above.
The question was never before the
legislature in any shace to be defeated
by leading republicans. There was
a petition for a bill to divide this office
with some 200 signatures on it; there
was also a remonstance to the petition
signed by over 400. citizens of the
county. The republican convention
was the first to recommend a county
recorder. .
WHY NOT.
The governor in his talks has inti
mated that the members from Benton j
county svi apped their votes on the
water bill to secure an appiopriation
for the agricultural college. If this
matter had been left to a vote of the
citizens of the county on that ground
the. same result would have followed,
the members from Benton county were,
in that case, certainly representing the
people. But what kind of a bargain
did Davis, Osbum, Vanderpool and
S. G. Thompson make in '871 Will
Mr. Pape please tell us.
Mr. S. W. Condon, of Eugene City,
the nominee of the republican party for
district attorney, will address the citi
zens of Corvallis, on the political issues
of the day, May 26th. Mr. Condon
was born and educated in Oregon and
has practiced law for several years.
He has, by his ability and energy,
acquired a large practice and is already
looming up amongst the d-stinguished
members of the bar in Oregon as one of
the highest order of talent in his pro
fession. He was elected to represent
Lane county in . the legislature two
years ago by a large majority and
proved Jiimself to be a brilliant orator
so much so that his efforts Were
widely complimented during the last
session. He is one of those men who
attend strictly to the matter in hand
and push, that for all there is in it,
whether it be the passage of a bill or
argument of a case. He is -veil qual
ified to perform the duties of district
attorney and will not fear to do his
duty whether it will add to his popu
larity or not. Besides his party sup
port Mr. Condon has a large personal
following and it is not improbable that
he will receive a handsome majority on
election day.
Benton county has about her share
of public burdens already without the
additional expense of contesting the
election of officers. Some of our con
temporaries suggest this contingency
as a result of the election of school
superintendent in case the democratic
candidate is elected. The. best way to
avoid such expense and uncertainty is
to elect W. E. Yates for that office and
have an officer who can and will visit
the schools at all seasons and attend to
the boundaries of school districts, and
in all other respects faithfully subserve
the best interests of the people of this
county.. The education of the- masses
of our population is the rock on which
our government stands and we cart not
afford to jeopardize so important an
interest in unwise litigation.
Should Mr. Jolly receive a majority
of votes for sheriff Benton county will
have a tax-collector who will be able to
keep his own books and accounts in
good shape himself. The citizens in
different parts of the county will proba
bly have an opportunity, to form his
personal acquaintance before election,
and in all probability after it, also.
The people of Corvallis are justly
proud of the agricultural college. They
should not ferget the debt they owe;

Geo. W. McBride, who has always
been a warm- friend of the institution.
