THE GOVERNORSHIP.
The democrats charge that Hon. D.
P. Thompson is no public speaker.
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.

Lawyers, both, democratic and; re

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-

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

and so on. The-constituency have the

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. 'MXrZfunder's
