He makes his points, however, on Gov ernor Pennoyer, and makes them so strong that in June it will be discover ed the redoubtable demagogue of the democracy is a political corpse. That Pennoyer is. already convicted of ma licious falsehoods uttered against the republican candidate for governor, is well known, and: suck weapons used in political warfare act simply as boome rangs. Pennoyer's assaults are, unfor tunately for, ' him,, directed against Thompsons's invulnerable points, while Pennoyer himself is in the open field of fraud; the Dun Quixote ot the Sancho Panza party of Oregon. Mr. Thompson has the certified doc uments from democratic officials in a land office in this state to prove that Sylvesters has been. in. with a "gang" to rob the state by the manipulation of the public school lands, in which he and one or two of his pets, if Pen noyer is re-elected, are to boodle the people out of some sixty or eighty thousand dollars. These 30,000 acres ct indemnity school lands, taken in lieu of school sections in Indian and government reserves, are placed in the hands of; the aforesaid "gang" at $1.25 per. apre,,and. by this "gang are being offered at private sa'e at from $3.50 to $6 per apre.. Unfortunately the repub lican secretary of state would not be made a.pajty to the fraud,, and Sylves ter has had-trouble in, putting his pur chasers in quiet possession of the- state lands he has undertaken to manipu late. When elected governor of the state of Oregon D. P. Thompson will simply block,, this land-grabbing game of. old Don,, aidi put the lands up for salft; to . the highest bidder, that the schools of. the state may receive all the the. money their-lands are worth. It ia-sajd that Eenoyer is a .graduate of Yale. If, that is true, why should Ore gon's school children be r;pbbed to benefit an "old, dub. whose pockets are already lined withhold, and whose ed ucation.ha; all his life been, devoted to peculation, speculation and disloyalty. L-Baker City Blade. Lawyers, both, democratic and; re publican, say that Miss, Spencer can rjot qualify if she should be elected.. AN ABLE REPRESENTATIVE Ihe postmaster general. is getting pretty well acquainted" with one mem ber of congress. His name-is Binger Hermann. The mossbacks ih-congress are learning to fear him. He. has such a faculty of securing for the people of his state sov many mail facilities, and appropriations, and other benefits that they are beginning to have a better idea of the "Far West" than ever be fore. Until Mr. Hermann began to get his work in in good shape it would seem that an unusually large number of congressmen had an idea that a pack trail was good enough for those "uncul tured Oregonians ' and a tri-weekly mail good enough for ordinary locali ties. Mr. Hermann has taught them that Oregon is just as good a country, o and has just as intelligent people, and just as legitimate claims to their con sideration as anv other state in the union. The press dispatches daily re veal th9 traces of his invaluable efforts for the interests of the state and not only just pending this election but this has been the nature of his work for months back. A congressman as well as a farmer has to plant before he can reap. Mr. Hermann certainly has sown an immense crop in the interest of Oregon and Oregon s interests de mand that he remain there to garner it. He fias secured a large amount on the appropriation bill for Yaquina and is also urging a place for Alsea. And he knows how to help the bill through intact. He is forwarding as speedily as possible the opening of Siletz reservation and has his eye on the bill affecting the public surveys, he knows and feels the wants of -the peo ple in this respect and will not. hesitate to present their claims in the strongest light. He has been of infinite', service to all the persons holding lands do nated to the heirs of persons who died on the way to Oregon in an early day; to quiet all such titles and this was a matter of no little importance and trouble. He is ever attentive to the requests of any. of his constituents and any favors wanted in Washing ton meet with a ready and willing re sponse. To perform all of his multi farious duties requires quite an amount of training. It is safe to affirm that Mr. Hermann's work in congress has been vastly more beneficial to the state the second than the first term of his service. Ana this stands to reason for he has learned many of the intri cacies of the department, has made many lriends and has acquired a knowledge of the methods by which diplomatic and other work is done and this knowledge can only be gained by experience, Mr. Hermann is the man for Oregon and he will by reason of their growth and his accumulated skill reap still greater "benefits for his state the next term than Oregon has ever bad before. D.. P. Thompson made his start in Oregon as a blacksmith at Oregon City. He is a man, of the people. He is a rich man but so is Pennoyer. ; A number of democratic papers op poses Ex Speaker Carlisle for the Ken tucky senatorship, and declaro that he was intoxicated at the funeral of the late Senator Beck. The grave of General Grant remains neglected on the banks of the Hud son, while that of General Lee, at Richmond, is to be marked in a few days by an imposing monument. Do the voters want a sheriff who will make that office one to which they can point with satisfaction which Mr. Jolly's well known carefulness and high standing will assure for itt It has been well said that "In union there is strength," and no where does this apply with greater force than in political matters. On the unity of our efforts in this election will depend the success of our ticket Republicans should remember that each voter has a specific duty to perform on the 2nd day of June and that duly is to go to the polls and vote. And if any should neglect this important preroga tive; it. devolves., ton thpse: who would see-the- party prevail,, to, remind, them of it and see to i that each one does so. By the balldt the American oil men exercises the highest privilege ac corded to civilized man and it should, not be so, lightly esteemed as , to pre vent the casting of a vote intelligently on every, occasfon affecting the public interests ana more- particularly at a general election as, the one just ap- -i. ; - luuaciiuj.. - - i STA TE SUPERINTENDENT. Rev. A. LeRoy is remembered(?) as one of the valiant "six hundred," im mortalized in Tennyson's Charge of the Light Brigade and "Back from the mouth of Hell" to engage in the more remunerative avocations of alternately teaching the young ideas how to sprout and waving the gospel banner for cash. He is the democratic candidate for state superintendent of public in struction. He is practically instruct ing his constituency how easy it is for a man to wear with more grace than effect a democratic gown. Two years ago he poised as a reformer in a prohi bition robe. The "reform" movement not being productive either of "filthy lucre" or fame, we have here a shining example of a coat worn inside out which has been designated in language more forcible than elegant, as "turn coat. His record as an instructor does not give any assurance that he can be either methodical, efficient or sue cessful, and in contrast with the work of Hon. E. B. McElroy is placed in a position at once conspicuous and ridic ulous. Prof. McElroy's record speaks for itself as one of the best ever made in this department. And his long devotion to one party shows his con sistency while his active service in defense of his own country is not to be forgotten. Besides the genuine digni ty with which Prof. McElroy finds him self clothed he is also to be remember ed as one of the residents of Benton county who has made this his home and has shown himself alive to the progressive spirit which is being mani. fested in this section. Name any im portant public or private enterprise instituted in this community of late years and he will be found right there for his proportion. Can his oppo nentB mends say as niuchf It is doubtful. A PICTURE IN THE MIND. Picture in imagination a lonely youth with a "lost" expression wend ing his way through the tortuous wind ings of a department corridor looking up the chief law clerk or some other "chief functionary of the interior de partment in the interest of some poor, isolated but honest settler who has had the misfortune to have his land , claim suspended by some of the wise men there; and you will recognize in his doleful countenance the features of Bobby Miller, Mr. Hermann's oppo nent tor representative to congress. How long could Robert's back sustain the burthen of "thank you" traffic im posed on Oregon's representative No, Bob. It will take a man with more strength in his loins and more vertebrae down his body than your youth has yet acquired to "get there" as often and as effectively in the inter est of this constituency as Binger Hermann does. Picture again a new member from Jackson county, Oregon, with his daily mail to disposepf. Private sec retary opens it and reverently submits the morsels for Roberts digestion. H'm! Corvallis wants a bridge fran chise and a revetment appropriation, must have at least $25,000- and priv; lege of using iron truss and no draw. Well let them have the bridge for that is near enough head of navigation any how, only few people up the river. But the appropriation guess we must veto that, so into the waste basket goes that petition. Jones wants a bill in troduced to straighten up titles in the Willamette valley. Well, Dod gast it, if I know what to do about that here -James, tell 'em this is reserved for further consideration. Alsea wants a daily mail. D n, the mail. Three times a week is enough; and up the spout that goes. "The citizens of Newport respectfully request that you urge as speedily and effectively as possible the $175,000 appropriation for Yaquina bay, etc., etc." I don't about that $175,000 might cut ofl a few gables or stone pavements from the Portland custom house, more peo pie in Portland than Yaquina. No, gentlemen, I'm afraid this won't do. So down goes Yaquina's meat house for $50,000, "by the earnest effoits of Hon. R. A Miller, of Oregon, was secured" etc., eta Siletz reservation ready to be allotted to Indians and thrown open for settlement. This sets our young, ambitious ana active con gressman to musingr as a result of which an autograph letter of four pages is mailed to a trusty friend, and the Siletz movement quietly slumbers on. Appropriation for survey of pub lic lands in Benton county! "Jerusa lem!" oThose people- must want the earth."- We'l teach them that beggars mustn't be chosers so let that petition set awhile James and go out and take a cream soda with a stick in.it,.fp me because these Bentonv pounty. folks fatigue me so I anv really faint," etc., and so on. The-constituency have the I delectable choice of accepting the gifts ,i 0f a; politician moulded to promote his . , r , .1- .1 u s.irengtn;or oi wnisiungion ymn bakmc REMEMBER. ''"' Cleveland never signed a river and harbor bill while in office for four years. Remember, to secure the advantages of cheap transportation, Yaquina bar must be improved. Remember to improve Yaquina bar or any other port on the Oregon coast requires steady, liberal annual appro priations. 1 Remember the republican party has always favored internal improvements; does now, and always will. Don t make a mistake and vote against your personal interests. . FOR TEMPERANCE MEN. .Voters of this county, let us go to the polls and elect temperance men I have been looking over the demo cratic and republican tickets and find there is a sufficient number of solid .temperance men to fill all the offices. I do not mean prohibitionists particularly, but good, square, temper ance men : men who believe In tem perance from principle : men who be lieve in temperance because of the bad example that whiskey and its in fluence is setting before our boys. Whiskey drinker, did you ever stop and think how many homes you had made miserable, not alone your own home, but others? Did you ever think how many mothers you had caused to lay upon their beds restless, sad, sleepless, and shedding tears over their darling boys, because you had asked them to take a drink, and be cause they give way under your influ ence? Then, if you have never thought of this before, for humanity's sake stop and think. If you will drink, if you are determined to go on, and on. in this way, for pity's sake go alone. Do not drag somebody s boy down with you. This has got to be a serious thing, and must be met seri nusly and squarely. Officers, do not ask our boys to drink, please do not. Office seekers, please do not ask our fathers, our brothers, our husbands, or our expected husbands to drink. Voters, we have this question in our own hands. You ask, in what way ? Do not vote for a man who would ask you, or your son, or anybody, else's son to take a drink. Throw away your old party ties for the time being, and quietly go to the polls and sup port temperance men ; men who are wall qualified to fill the offices. We certainly have the majority in favor of temperance, so let us see what we can do in this coming election. These things are worth thinking about, and worthy of being acted upon. Hoping that this article may set some one to thinking upon this subject, as they never thought before, I am very re spectfully yours, on the side of tem perance, C. B. Wells. Philomath, May 20, 1890. A No 8 hat, a No. 12 understanding, 250 lbs. avordupois and the smiling and intelligent countenance of Phil Metchan, . all the way from Baker county, will be desirable things to have around the state treasurers office after next July. The state funds will be safe there. Can the voters of Benton afford to sacrifice so tried and faithful a servant as Bush Wilson for a young and inex perieuced man like Mr. Bryan? Both i good men in their places, but be tween those places a gult is fixed. Only large and valuable experience united with an imcomparable tempera ment can bridge the gulf. Mr. Metchan will make a good state treasurer. Being an enterprising and successful man and one who has abundantly proven himself capable of filling that office, he should receive the support of every voter in the republi can party. Of course .if he gets the full republican support he will be elected, and there is no reason to sup pose that he will not receive the whole vote of his party. There is no better jurist on the bench in Oregon to-day than Robert S. Bean, the republican candidate for supreme judge. His record as a cir cuit judge will bear favorable scrutiny compaied to any of hia brother justices in other districts in the state. He is a merciful judge and yet one who never swerves from his duty. He is an ardu ous worker, and when other men sleep Judge Bean may be found laboriously wading through" manuscripts, and examining the authorities bearing on the case, and it is no wonder, there fore, that hU decisions usually point to the correct legal and equitable con clusions.
