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.

WA TCH THE RECORD.
The friends of Hon. S. G. 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.
