CORRESPONDENCE. ,
Newport, May 18, 1890. J
Ed. Gazette: I read an item v in
the last issue of the Times stating that
Mr. Wra. Mackay would lead the dem
ocratic ticket at the June election and
that he would carry nearly every pre
cinct in the county. In this I. think
the editor is greatly mistaken as the
republican candidate for sheriff, is
growing in favor every day in this part
of the county, and will doubtless get a
handsome majority over his competitor
for the office. I also remember of
reading a scurrilous article written by
some democrat and published in the
Times just btfore the republican con
vention met, throwing mud and reflect
ing upon a very prominent republican
candidate for sheriff. This was a
trick done for the purpose of getting a
strong man off the track in order to
get a weak man on the ticket so he
could be easily beaten. This, howev
er, was a great mistake as Mr. Wjn.
Jolly is not ouly a competent and pop
ular man but will make a splendid
sheriff and every republican in the
county ought to support him as well as
all democrats who wish to elect a good
moral man to that important office.
The Times correspondent seemed to
put great stress upon the moral Qualifi
cations of a public officer. Why don't
that paper keep up its lecturing on
moraUtvt for it certainly has a good
subject in the person of. the present
democratic candidate for sheriff. ; The
people now have an opportunity of
electing a man of high moral worth to
be sheriff of Benton county in the per
son of Mr. Jolly, and thus carry out
the original plaa of the Times; or they
can perpetuate the old plan of bush
whacking and canvassing the county to
get votes by continuing the present
incumbent in office. The people ae
getting heartily sick of the old method
and will no doubt relegate it to the
shades of the past at the coming elec
tion. The whole republican state and
county tickets will get a splendid mai
jority on this side of the mountain.
We don't consider Governor Pen
noyer any better friend to the laboring
men than D. P. Thompson, the repub
lican candidate for govsruor, who was
once a poor man himself and worked
his way up to his present position by
his own efforts. Some people are dis:
posed to give Governor Pennoyer
credit for telling the O. P. officials,
during the labor ...trouble at Corvallis,
to pay the men whom they owed and
there would, be no. difficulty. Mr.
Thompson or any other honorable man
would have done the same thins under
the circumstances, and then, there is
no particular credit attachrd to it. Mr.
Thompson has the confidence of the
people and he will be Oregon's next
governor. Vindex.
Ed. Gazette:.
I have talked with W. S. Hufford,
. our next county judge, and also with a
a great many of the taxpayers of the
county. I have taken the pains to tell
them what Mr. Hufford told me, viz:
That should he (Hufford) be elected
that no enterprise of magnitude, such
as has been carried on under the pres
ent administration, will be permitted
until the taxpayers are first consulted,
and when they say "Yes" it will go and
when they say "No" it will not go. I
believe Mr. "Hufford will do just what
he says, and the voter's have only to be
lieve this and he will be elected by a
grand majority. A Voter.
Mr. -Yates has voted in the last
two city elections of Corvallis and
thus declared his intention of residence.
Invest Now. The fact that f he
Southern Pacific company have
decided to extend their road to
Astoria, making it the terminus of
another transcontinental line, is
one of the,, many evidences that
that place is sure to. become a city
of: no mean pretention. That cap
ital is seeking investment in As
toria, is shown by the large num
ber of real estate transfers made
every day, not only in business
property but suburban ots.
Hartless & Davisson are offering
great inducements to those who
invest tjjefr ' nioney now in either
Schenck's or Astor's additions to
Astoria. Lots in these additions
will be greatly enhanced in value
within the next few months.' This
firm, has also been appointed
agents tor the HamburgTBreman
Fire Insurance Company of Ger
many, one of the oldest and most
reliable companies doing business
in the .United , States. Thus a
policy with this company is a safe
investment .
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
The republican party of Oregon in state
cotiveBtion assembled, proud of its record
and past history, its devotion to the prin
ciples of Imman liberty and human rights, I
its great and imperishable names which lend
lustre and glory to the American nation at
home and among the nations of the earth,
and as an assurance of its coutiuued fidelity
to the great principles for! which it has con
tended in the past in state and national
affairs, does hereby make and affirm the
following declaration of its principles:
First That we favor honest, efficient and
economical 'administration of every depart
ment of government, both state and national, i
Second That we regard the free school
system of our state as the special care and
pride of the republican party, to be cher
ished as one of the bulwarks of the liber
ties of the people. '-; , .
Third That whereas the republican party
has always contended for a pure electoral
system, in pursuance of this policy we favor
the adoption of the Australian ballot sys
tem Applause and we pledge the republi
can party to enact such a law at the next
session of the legislature, substantially upon
the line and of the character of the act as
drafted by the Ballot Reform League of Ore
gon- I,
Fourth That the republicans of Oregon
send greeting and congratulations to their
brethren of Maine for having furnished
Thomas B. Reed, an honest and courageous
statesman, who as speaker of the house of
representatives, - has secured for the repre
sentatives of the people the right of the
majority t.) govern, and we denounce the
fiction by which democratic members of
congress attempt to justify the technical
defeat of the will of the people and the
majority of their own body by refusing to
vote, though in fact present and in duty
bound to do so.
Fifth That we rejoice in the fact that in
the last presidential election the American
people voted to sustain and uphold the re
publican doctrine of protection which' the
democratic party proposed to "-destroy
applause and we are in favor of the con
tinuance of that sj stem of protection which
has developed the manufacturing and agri
cultural interests of our country and pro
tected American laboring men from degrad.
ing competition with the pauperized and
poverty-stricken labor of the Old World,
applause and to this end we indorse the
provisions. of the bill known as the Mc Kin
ley tariff bill, now pending before congress,
and on behalf of the wool growers call upon
our representatives in congress to do all in
their power to secure the early passage of
said bill.
Sixth That recognizing the fact that the
United States is the greatest silver-producing
country in the world, and that both gold
and silver were equally the money of the
constitution from the beginning of the re
public until the hostile legislation against
silver, which unduly contracted the circu
lating medium of the country, and recog
nizing that the great interests of the people
demand more money for use in the channels
of trade and commerce; therefore, we de
clare ourselves in ' favor of the free and un
limited coinage of silver, and denounce any
attempt to discriminate against silver as un
wise and unjust.
Seventh That the gratitude of the na
tion to the defenders of the Union cannot
be measured by laws. That the legislation
of congress should conform to the pledges
made by a loyal people and be so enlarged
and- extended as to provide against the pos
sibility that any man who honorably wore
the Federal uniform shall become an inmate
of an almshouse or dependent upon private
charity.
Eighth That we are in favor of a fair
and equal distribution of taxation, and we
believe that all property not now exempt
by law should contribute its due proportion
in payment of the legitimate expense of the
government. That we are in favor of the
adoption of such amendment to o.ur assess
ment laws as will secure the equal and just
assessment and taxation of all property at
its true value.
Ninth That we demand the immediate
forfeiture by congress ot the land grant of
the Northern Pacific railroad from Wallula
to Portland.
Tenth That we are heartily in favor of
the passage through congress of the bill pro
viding for a boat railway at The Dalles of
the Columbia river, which has been passed
in the senate by the efforts of Senators
Mitchell and Dolph; that we believe it to be
the most practicable plan for the relief of
the producers and for the development of
that vast territory of country tributary to
the great Columbia river. '
Eleventh That we favor the enactment
of a law in the interest of the wage-earning
classes in factories, mines, workshops and
public works fixing eight hours as a day's
work, and we denounce the convict con
tract labor system as nnjust to the honest
labor of our state, and we believe that all
laws recognizing such system be repealed;
that we are opposed to the father immigra
tion of Chinese laborers to the United
States, and we demand more stringent and
effective measures for carrying into practi
cal operation the enactments of congress
excluding Chinese laborers from American
soil. ,
Twelfth That we reiterate on approval
of the policy of liberal appropriations for
internal improvements, especially for our
rivers and harbors; that we favor the con
tinuation of the policy of using the public
money for public welfare, believing that the
improvement of our waterways will result
in a material reduction of the rates of trans
portation; . that we hold all . corporations
strictly responsible to their liabilities nnder
the aw; and recognize the right of the leg.
islature to enact all reasonable limitations
on corporate power.
Thirteen That we favor legislative en
actment by which there (nay be elected or
appointed a state inspector of weights ana
measures, and also : favor amendment to
municipal charters which shall require the
appointment of building and sanitary in
spectors in all cities of ten thousand or
more inhabitants.
Fourteen That we favora n early survey
of unsurveyed public lands in this state,
that the same may be claimed and occupied
and tillers speedily procured by bona fide
settlers, under the laws of the United
States. We demand liberal appropriations
by congress to secure that end.
Fifteen That while disclaiming the right
to interfere with the administration of in
ternal affairs of foreign nations, we sincere
ly approve the efforts of Irish and English
statesmen to secure by peaceful methods
the American principle of home rule for
Ireland, f Applause. 1
Sixteen That we denounce all trusts and
cembinations that have for their object the
controlling of the market value of the nec
essaries of life and that we are in favor of
laws restraining and abolishing the same.
Seventeen That we congratulate the
country npon the success and the prosperity
that have marked the first year of President
Harrison's administration; that we rejoice
in the restoration of dignity, vigor and
statesmanship in the conduct of foreign
affairs which have settled grave internation
al complications upon a basis which secures
every American right, and which by
friendly advances and hospitality, have
strengthened the bonds of sympathy and
interest which join us to the republics of
the American continent, paving the way to
a policy of peace, of extended commerce,
and of amity among all the nations of the
New World; applause that we commend
the present national - administration for
applying the surplus funds to the payment
of interest-paying bonds, as contrasted with
the democratic policy of lending the surplus
to banks which retained their bonds and
collected interest thereon while usinjy the
people's money, which should have been ap
plied to the payment of said bonds.
