If you hear of a voter living way oft from the polls who may forget to vote or think it too far to go, be sure and have him "come out" on lection day. Was Governor Pennoyer "Ignorant or perjured" when he attempted to award himself a contract of furnishing supplies for the asylum, in !ain viola tion of a law he had sworn to support? Thomas Tongue says Pennoyer is something of a boodlist himself; that he used money right in Cornelius' own district in 1886. That Cornelius was a poor man and had no money to use. Statesman. Sometimes great political changes are wrought by a feeling of over-confidence on part of voters. It some times leads to "trading" on the strength of a strong candidate, by his friends; and this a very frequent cause of the defeat of men considered "safe" be yond a doubt. Senator Chandler, of Baker county, and Hon. R. A. Miller, demo cratic nominee for congressman boi.li Supported the Portland water bond bill in the last legislature. Governor Pen noyer seeks to make a successful issue on his veto of this bill. Which will you vote for, Miller who voted for the bill or Pennoyer who vetoed it? Governor Pennoyer. signed The Dalles law and Baker City law, (both of which exempt bonds from taxation), ignorant that they contained such a provision so he says. lie did not read them took some one's word that it was all right to sign them, and signed them thereby making his Port land water bond veto a ridiculous farce. Who has ever heard of a "pocket veto?" Who remembers the great damage done to the government-works at Yaquina harbor and other ports be cause the funds run out and there was no appropriation to keep them going? Who forgets the loss of that magnif icent vessel that was wrecked on a spit formed by. reason of the cessation of that work? Can citizens interested in their own prosperity afford to send delegates, senators and congressmen, to support the policy which brings such evil effects to our doors and our pockets? Certainly not. THE "LOCK AND DAM SWINDLE: If a man dcesn't know what a boom erang is, yet sees one and has a curios ity to handle it, he would do well to make a little inquiry about its "habits" before fooling with it very far. Messrs. Thompson and Pennoyer are not making their canvass together; but, as we learn from a democratic paper of Southern Oregon, Mr. Pennoyer, when at Ashland some days ago, left this question for Mr. Thompson to answer, viz: "Were you not a member of the state senate in 1870 when the infamous lock and dam swindle was passed?'' Now this revives a whole flood of recollections. But the use of the ex pression, "infamous lock and dam swindle," by Mr. Pennoyer is very un fortunate. His intentional attack is upon Mr. Thompson; but is he aware who else he is attacking? The members of the Canal and Locks Company who received the sub sidy from the state in 1870 were B. Goldsmith, James K. Kelly, Joseph Teal, John F. Miller, O. Humason and D. P. Thompson, democrats of emi nence. We find upon looking over the record that Thompson was a mem ber of the state senate when the bill was introduced; but as he was a mem ber of the company he asked to be ex cused from voting on the bill, and was so excused. Both houses were demo cratic, the bill passed both houses and was Approved by Governor Crover. Mr. Goldsmith, now chairman of the democratic state central committee, was president of the company that constructed the locks and received the subsidy, and Colonel Kelly, anothei member of the company, was elected to the United States senate at the same session of the legislature that passed this "infamous" bill. John F. Miller, Joseph Teal and Orlando Humason were democrats of prominence in Ore gon from a very early day; and all, ex cept the latter, still prominent. We take it that it is very unkind in Governor Pennoyer, since these arc; the facts, to talk about "the infamous lock and dam swindle." It is clear he "didn't know it was loaded." The boomerang is a frisky and freaky thing, and the man who isn't acquaint ed with it ought, in justice to himself, to regard it with mild curiosity with out attempting to handle it, Ore gonian. All the hue and cry raised about the Portland water bonds has had but the e.Tect of showing up the inconsistency of His Excellency in vetoing it. Why didn't he veto the same provisions in The Dalles and Baker City laws? He is an educated man and can read when it is his interest to do so. Why didn't he read these things in those bills before signing them? A word to the union party: We are about to elect a slieiiff. It will be either Mackay o- Jolly. Which do yon prefer? If you really desire reform and prefer officers of correct habits and honest intentions you will vote for Jolly and not throw your vote away on your own candidate, who, although a good man, cannot be elected at this time. Don't forget that next Monday is election d iy, and that, although you may think that there is not any great issue at stake, much depends on your vote. Remember tint Iowa has a lemoeratie governor because 30,000 republicans were too busy or too indif ferent to go to the polls. . mm If you elect Mackay sheriff, he will be so only in name. Dave Osburn will be, to all intents and purposes, the sheriff of this county, If you elect Jolly, he will be, in fact, and indeed your sheriff. Which will it be Jolly or 0born? Governor Pennoyer says he is in favor of a tariff for revenue only. He seems to be in favor of the office ol governor for revenue only, judging fiomtlie lumber contractile attempted to get away with. Albany Herald. na Remember the next legislature will elect a United States senator. If the people want harbor appropriations and better mail facilities, they should cast their vote for C. B. Crosno, C. E. Moore and M. T. Starr. Republicans don't scratch your ticket,j ote it straight, every mm on it should be elected. State and county election next Monday. Vote the straight republi can ticket. Do you want a deputy for sheriff for another two years? If you do, vote for Mackay.. SUPT. OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. The republican nominee, Prof. J2. B. McElroy, ought to run far ahead of his ticket in Benton county. Many a voter to-day has been a pupil of his, during his long term of service as a teacher in the old college heie ;n Cor- vallis. and all his pupils should work for their old teacher as well as vote for him. He served Benton county well as school superintendent and showed the same efficiency in this county in working up teachers' institutes and raising the standard of common school education which has made his admin istration of the larger office of super intendent of public instruction so ad mirable. His property interests are chiefly in Benton county, and he is one of us. When the state agricul tural college business came before the legislature Prof. McElroy was on hand to throw his vide influence in favor of Corvallis as the college location. Since the new laws came into force he has been ex-ofncio a member of the board, and a constant attendant at the board meetings here. He is not one of the show regents, but a good, active, working member, ready for committee work, and always accessible for advice and consultation. Therefore, voters of Benton county, don't fail to show next Monday that honest, active, public work is repaid by the public apprecia tion is repaid by a heavy vote. Don't slack off because you think McElroy is safe. Suppose he is, that is no rea son why he .should not have the satis faction of seeing a hearty endorsement by his own county. Prof. McElroy has held several hon orable and responsible positions in the G. A. R. and is an active spirit in the wrrk of building "up the material in terests of the state. In his directions he has shown and is demonstrating that he has eminent business qualifioa tions and is fast taking rank as one of the leading men of the state in this line, and the rising generation had bet ter be under the supervision of a man wdio possesses both practical and theo retical knowledge than of one, like his opponent, who possesses but little of the one and none of the other. He was Inspector General of the G. A. R. in 1887, Aid-de-camp on the staff of Commander in 1888, and has serv ed in the honorable and responsible position of Department Commander for Oregon. He is one of the- vice presidents of the National Teachers' Association and is in constant touch with the most progressive and enlight ened systems of public instruction in America and the influence of his or-ganiz-ition is now felt in every public school in the state. There is no one who will say that Miss Nettie Spencer can qualify it elected school superintendent of this county, if any objections are made. A few years since a woman was elect ed superintendent of Multnomah county and she was not pei mitted to qualify. It was contended at that time that if she were permitted to qualify that it might jeopardize the payment of the funds to Multnomah county from the state. Do you want to lose the money received from the state of Oregon for the support of the public schools of this county? Then elect Miss Spencer instead of Mr. Yates. Never in the history of Ben ton county did any party offer a better qualified person for this offiee than the republican nominee, Prof. W. E. Yates of the Corvallis public schools. Governor Pennoyer is so poor, and Mr. Thompson so rich! No one will deny that Mr. Thompson is rich. That is no disqualification for a gov ernor. Especially when he receives about the salary of a good clerk. But Mr. Pennoyer's poverty does not pre vent Mr. Gold-.mith from furnishing plenty of "campaign elixir." If Mr. Pennoyer's half million fortune is so cramped that it cannot supply any campaign boodle perhaps the difference between $1.25 per acre and $3. to $6 per acre for school lands in Oregon, or the $420,000 irreducible school fund surplus may suggest a solution. Pennoyer's statement that members of the legislature who voted for the Portland water bonds in any form, though opposed to noi-lax;-ble . bonds, were "ignorant or perjured" must make some honorable gentlemen shiver a little. Among those who voted for non-taxable bonds were Col. Raly, Dr.1 Stanley, Mr. Cogswell, Judge Hamil ton, Mr. Chandler and Mr. Cauthorn, all democrats. Can these gentlemen explain whfct Pennoyer means by "Ig norant or perUTed?" B. W. WILSON. While perhaps any remarks through the columns of the Gazette relative to the candidacy of Mr. B. W. Wilson, the . republican nominee for county clerk, might not be considered neces sary; still in justice to him it is but fair to correct a campaign statement made in Tuesday's Times in which Mr. Wil son is charged with not giving his per sonal attention to the duties of that office. Now every one, who has bus iness with the county clerk, knows that such an insinuation is false, gotten up for effect, and in no sense just or true. The fact is that Mr. Wilson has given his whole attention to the duties of the clerk's office and nothing else, from the time he first enteied the office till to-day, and has in all respects served the people well. The suggestion that his official duties pre pet formed by clerks is not true. Every official hav ing more busidess to do than one man can attend to is obliged to employ clerks; but, the insinuation that Mr. Wilson's official duties are performed by his employees is in no sense true and but wrves to illustrate the desper ate straights in which those seeking his removal rind themselves placed in the attempt to prejudice voters unacquaint ed with the facts in the case. The statement that "Bush is not in the office half of the time" is not true. He has been at his desk nearly all cf the time, as mentioned before, and only when sickness, caused by over work, has compelled him to be absent has he been away from his post of duty. The insinuation that intelligent and honest-voters (!) can be influenced by "coaxing or cash" still fui ther shows the straws by which his (am) Bush (ed) enemies endeavor to cling. The unprecedented support given to Mr. Wilson in the past, and which is not to be affected by such campaign "bunkum," has uniformly been free and voluntary and in recognition of his services as clerk, his irreproachable private character, his accommodating and genial disposition, his consistency in all that he does and his integrity which has been tried time and again and has never failed. Can as much bo said for those who would seek to injure him by fjul means If rat her th;.n by fair We think not; and let every voter of Benton county, before he voles on Monday, go back in his memory, and ascertain whether or not after Mr. Wilson has retired from the clerks's office, the voters will not have become dependent on other and less ac commodating resources, than he now has for ascertaining quickly and cor rectly anything he may wish to know in regard to the public records of Ben ton county and business arising there from. Thh Leader of last week quotes an article from the Gazette to read as follows: "Telt Burnett' is ja worthy young man, and his chances for elec tion are exceedingly flattering." The editor of the Leader had probably just taken something with some of his democratic friends before writing the above, or he would have been better able to read. The Gazette never made such an assertion, nor did it mention Telt Burnett's name in the article referred to but it did say "Mr. Belknap is deserving of popular sup port and, although his opponent is a worthy young man, his (Belknap's) chances for election are exceedingly flattering." Mr. Belknap undoubtedly will be the next county treasurer. Pennoyer was the only governor north of the Mason-Dixon line who congratulated Cleveland on his orders to restore the rebel flags. mv" health restorer. PNsrssstf? USE IT! Itrour.es thf.

Thomp son say they intend to show, in the last days of the canvass, that he (Thomp son) voted "yea" on the Portland water bill of 1887 for the purpose of mov ing its reconsideration. The Journal does not show that Mr. Thompson ever moved to reconsider the Portland i water bill, notwithstanding he was in position to do so. Please examine page 57C, House Journal, and find the vote on Senate Bill No. 119, a bill to allow Baker City to issue untaxable bonds, the bill that Pennoyer signed, and you will find S. G. Thompson voted "yea" on that also. This bill passed by a vote of 44 to 0. Did Mr. Thompson vote for that bill for the same reasons he assigns for favoring the Portland water bill? Tin's is sim ply too transparent. Mr. T. had no excuse. Benton county did notjhave any interest at stake in 1887. The people ot the county had not subscrib ed $22,000 and put it in a college building and in college funds in hopes of securing for all time to come, an agricultural college, as was the case i; 1889. The members from Benton h 18S9 were urged to combine in an way, against the opposition from otln places and hold the collegs where it now is, and any member who had fail ed to act in accord with the feelings o the people at that time, would hav been burned in effigy, as every candi man well knows who remgmbers the situation during the last legislature. Our members did their duty and should be endorsed by a handsome vote whenever the opportunity is af forded. Let every republican in the county come ou and cast his vote Monday. Vote for Geo. W.
