. TOLEDO.
Ttre people of this thriving burg
?id royally, tlie.v seemed Lo und-r.stainl
llunr Jrshicss. the hall was w;H scaled
and deeoTHted, th public school v;is
there Jd a fine- choir, assisted . Iy
' some of the candidates, sang several
political songs, and every one seenie.l
to say "welcome" and the audience
was greater iu number th in the city of
Newport or Yaquina lial, both put
toe-tliei. The spt-akers were clieT;;il
and when Mr. Stakely, in behalf of
the citizens, presented a beautiful
. bouquet to the candidates the house
went wild. Toledo is the most ener
getic political and self respecting town
on the bay. By common consent the
democrats and republicans gave the
management of the meeting to the
alliance people with Mr. Varrish in
the chair. Mr. .Stakely proceeded to
demolish the old parties, appealed to
the blue and gray to uphold the old
flag that was fast disappearing and
drew a woful picture of distress,
brought about by the mismanagement
of the old parties. He failed, person
ally for the want of time (40 minutes)
to tell us how or when the alliance
party intended Xo bring order out of
chaos. When you come to think of
it 40 minutes is a very short time to
plan out a reorganization of the govern
ment in the matter of finance, it is
astonishing to see how simple the
question seems to some minds. If
Stakely is right then Fisher is wrong,
nd they should immediately exchange
places before any man, woman or child
becomes a public charge on somebody
ftr something, and our loyal friend, S.
T. Jeffreys, has dropped into the al
mighty pot, destruction for America is
certain unless free trade is adopted,
and any place in Europe is better for
the American wage earner than this,
lie can see nothing to be proud of,
nothing to point to with pride, this
bill of the great voters, the McKiuley
biJl, has ruined us, he felt in his pock
ets and aske I the people what he had
hold of i Most of them seemed inclined
to give t up, but he said it was not a
dollar, and we all frit relieved. This
attempt to illustrate the poverty of
the people by the condition of a can
didate who h id run the gauntlet of
Newport is considered unfair. Ke'k
nap is a patriot aud his young blood i-s
-stirred to n-fever heat when he heard
. ihese dismal tiralles against one of the
most liberal governments on the earth.
He appreciates and tells his hearers
..-everywhere how the young man of this
, 'glorious country can rise from poverty
-to affluence, where the laboring man is
the aristocrat, where the government
protects by wise legislation the in
herent of the daily toiler as it is in no
other country. He scorns a man who
for s political ui poses can find the
Tieart ! to. comparj this country with
.any place in Europe, when every one
knows that the gates of Castle Q.irden
.always swing outward, never inward.
With all our. enterprise and desire to
iind better places, he says no one
thinks of gpiim to Europe to find bet
ter wages or better times; this Is really
argument enough to convince the most
skeptical mind.
With Jeffreys,. Bryan and .Stakely to
contend with, Belknap feels better; it
keeps all of them hunting authorities
and managing to hold their own with
Belknap. Mr. Ingle has a chance to
exhibit himself by stating that lie and
Mr. Stearns had entered into an agree
rneut whereby both were to stay at
home, a. very small item in fhe" paper
would have saved Mr. Ingle this trouble,
besides to Alio ordinary man it looks as
, if he was, daily - violating his part of
that agreement. 5 'As a christian gen
tldman Mr. Ingle can hardly afford to
Ctkethis advantage of his opponent's
misfortunes.
SUMMIT.,
Here the delegation was met by S.
N L'lly, ' of Corvallis, who was in. his
N nunl condition, two sheets in the
wi id and the other fluttering. He was
armed as usual with grave doubts as to
the success of Jolly and determined to
do what he could to defeat the man
lie had helped nominate. He stag
gered between Mrs. Posts and a hen's
nest behind a log that had Osburn
eggs; in ."it" until the sun? went down
and night shut out a spectacle of pol
iucar treacheiy that has become a
familiar word in this count'. The
candidates had a fair audience at the
school house and there was nothing
new said or done, each man acquitted
himself to the satisfaction of his politi--cal
.friends. -The canvass is progress
ing on friendly lines and if the aspir
ants never Lave anything else iu the
way of reward they will look upon
this "swing around the circle" as an
-event of their lives, full of fun and
. pleasure. They have crossed the di
vide -and are now among the low lands.
l,et us hope good cheer will meet
them everywhere.
Kures VALLEY,-May 2G, '92. '
"We Jfcft llie Summit this morn
ing on the O. P. railroad, arrived
on time at Wreim. made our little
bow to the residents of that pre
cinct, who turned out m a body to
examine this fine body of men
representing different sections of
the county. We were received
, with cheers and entertained roy
ally. A- grand stand for the
speakers and seats for the audi
ence was erected in a lovely oak
i grove overlooking the town. Ar
rangements were made to take
us across the country to this place.
Three of our party met a roaJ
agent 7 about - three miles out of
town and were compelled to step
down and out for . the purpose of
stopping with the old veteran
James PI unkett.
WELLS' STATION.
On Saturday, the 2Sth the Sun
day school at Wells station gave
a picnic in Kidder's grove,
near Soap creek bridge which was
attended by the candidates in force.
The lorenoon was occupied by the
exercises of the Sunday school,
which were very interesting and
were listened to with rapt atten
tion. These exercises were fur
ther improved by the music of
the Marine band of this city, the
boys playing as they have always
before done and they lully sustain
ed the. enviable reputation which
they have gained. The picnic was
quite well attended, although it
would undoubtly have bee'i larger,
if the weather had been better, the
clouds hanging quite low and
threatening rain. Later in the
day the clouds lifted and the sun
came out with his usual jovial
smile. All who attended the pic
nic enjoyed themselves and were
sorry when night put a stop to the
merry-making. Alter the close
of the Sunday schools's exercises
t he stand was given over to the can
didates who occupied it for the re
mainder of the day.
Mr. Jeffreys opened the ball by
remarking that he thought Polk
county could easily spare him a
hundred democratic votes and that
he would like to have them. It is
our humble opinion that next Mon
day he will come up wanting even
more than a-hundred Polk county
votes. Mr. Belknap followed with
an excellent speech delivered in
his usual Ibrciabie manner. Mr.
Belknap is a farmer and a practi
cal man, who understands just
how to present his views so that he
cannot fail to decide any one who
may be wavering and drawing
fliem over his side. Capt. Jas.
Robertson, while not very well
known in this section, made a
most favorable impression and
made a large number friends; his
election i-j certain. This being
near his old home, Willard Linville
was right among old friends and
was by all odds I lie most popular
candidate on the grounds. Judg
ing by his popularity here, the
howl which the democrats have
been making about his defeat, in
Polk county is all bosh. A num
ber ot Polk county's candidates
were present but did not speak;
they were probably there to see
that Jeffrey's didn't steal away any
Polk county votes. All visible in
dications now are that Jolly will
not only cany th? full strength of
iiis party, but has also gained
friends among the democrats. Jol
ly is gaining' friends! every day,
notwithstanding the desperate ef
forts of Osburn and his backers.
From several parties we heard I lie
inquiry: What has school sup
erintendent to do with t lie l;uill f'
The democratic nominee for that
office having taken it upon himself
to discuss that subject quite ex
haustively. PHILOMATH.
On Monday a picnic was given
at Philomath by the Philomath
brass band, which was quite largely
attended by people Iroia Corvallis
and other towns iu the vicinity.
All who . attended report a good
time. During the day a game of
baseball was played between the
Philomath nine and a picked nine
which resulted in a score of 18 to
16 in favor of t he Philomath club.
Here, also, the candidates held
forth to the people and tore the
lariflt all to pieces and put it to
gether again according to their own
peculiar views. One thing is quite
sure, however, that is that Philo
math precinct is solidly republican.
If every other precinct shows up
as well as Philomath the republi
can ticket will be elected by an
overwhelming majority. Philo
math proposes to give a better re
publican majority than ever before.
The democratic candidates fooii
found they were not '-in it" at
Philomath. They loafed around
for a good portion of the day with
out accomplishing anything and
finally becoming disgusted about 2
o'clock in the afternoon at the un
promising appearance of things
they drew off their forces and lef t
for Alsea, leaving the republicans
ia undisputed possession of the
field. In the evening a ball was
given and all who felt so disposed
were given an opportunity to trip
the light fantastic and a large num
ber availed themselves of the priv
ilege.
THE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.
Philomath, May 26, '02.
Mr. Editor: In perusing that
noted paper, the Corvallis Times,
my attention was called to an ar
ticle in regard to the two candid
ates or the office of school super
intendent. Although the author ot
said article would like to have it
appear as an editorial, it still has
the earmarks of having been writ
ten by one of two individual
greatly interested in the success of
E. L. liiyau, democratic nominee
for said office. The argument used
in his favor is -first that there has
been a division vin the United
Brethren church, that Prof. Gragg
has seen fit to identify himself
with one faction while E. L. Bryan j
sympathizes with the- other,
a weighty argument indeed. Sec
ond, that Prof. Gragg has been a
teacher in a radical school iiuPhil
omalh, that said school has been
enjoined from using the name of
Philomath college. Third, thatE.
L. Bryan has been a member ot
the examining board of Benton
county for some time past, but
! failed lo add that he was under
the administration of his brother
Joseph, hence a family affair. So
much for the article referred to. I
now wish (o add a few facts for
the consideration of the voters of
Benton county, which the writer
or t lie writers of the article refer
red to will not and does not deny.
Both Prof. Gragg and 13. L. Bryan
are well known in Philomath as
Avell as some other portions in the
county. It is also well known
that since Prof. Gragg entered the
school at Philomath, some twelve
years ago, he has been studious,
diligent and successful. While he
may not be as expert and efficient
in playing base ball or hunting
China pheasants and other game
with a trained dog, contrary to an
express provision of the statute,
as his competitor E. L. Bryan, yet
it is a well known fact acknowl
edged by all that in point of edu
cation he is far superior and as
a teacher ranks among the best.
There is another point lo which I
wish to call the attention of the
voters of Benton county, E. L.
Bryan intends to engage in the
study of law and expects lo follow
that profession. As a result a large
portion of his time will necessarily
lie devoted to that business, while
Prof. Gragg has no. other business
to interfere with his duties as sup
erintendent and will devote his
entire t;;ne lo the duties of the
office. A Voter,
the siikriff.
Philomath, May 28, '92.
Ed. Gazette: As a review of
the short comings of tiie different
aspirants for the public favor
seems to be in order, perhaps the
following will not bo amiss for the
voters of Benton county to take
into consideration on the Gth day
of June, 189:?: Doubtless it is
well understood by this lime that
deputy sheriff Osburn, the. present,
democratic candidate for sheriff,
has been and now is'lhe buAivess
manager of the office of sheriff of
Benton county for at leaxst the last
two years, or at least I am credit
ably informed that lie claimed to
sustain that relation ir said office
repeatedly in the present canvass
and points with pride to the re
cord he has made. It is also
doubtless well understood, at least
in certain portions of the county,
that a civil action Jias been com
menced against one Frank Skip
ton for damages in a seduction
case. It is .also well understood
that Ihe necessary papers in suoh
case were placed in the hands .of
the sheriff at least ten days before
rhe List session of -court. It is al
so true and well 'Understood that
service has not been made, th it
said Frank r Skiplon has been in
the county for the space of at
least one week, that the sheriff
and deputy were notified of the
same and faithfully promised two
separate and different times that
immediate service should be made,
yet Skiptou was allowed to de
part without being served. A few
days before the present canvas;
commenced Osburn came to Phil
omath and reported the papers in
the Skipton case had been served
or at least sent to Douglas county
for service, well knowing that ser
vice in a civil action could not le
gally be made oulside the county
where the papers were issued.
1 his, however, is not the first in
stance of this kind that has occur
red within the last two years. On
or about the 13lh of January,
1891, complaint was filed in the
justice court of Corvallis precinct
by Levi Ilenkle, prosecuting wit
ness against Henry Rust, Chester
Eust and Alvin Loycl lor trespass
and papers issued from said court
and placed in the hands of the
sheriff for service; after the lapse
of three days inquiry was made as
to when service would be render
ed, answer when J. G. D. please.
Ihe consequence was the papers
were withdrawn and the case
taken to the Philomath precinct.
The undersigned voter holds him
self in readiness at any and all
times to furnish-' the evidence to
establish the foregoing facts to tin
entire satisfaction of ?iy that may
be inclined to doubt them. ;
For Reform,
the school superintendent.
Editor Gazette: As one who
has refrained from saying anything in
a' public manner nbaur the --relative
merits of the candidates for our .count
offices, I desire to ' mention mi offic
(and the aspirants thereto) which does
not usually receive the attention which
its importance deserves. I refer to
the office of county school -. superin
tendent.
Sines Prof. McEhoy, a thorough
school man, acting us superintendent,
infused a life and vigor into our school;,
unknown before, we have had, to speak
candidly, but a mild form of efficiency
in our common schools. This has nut
been wholly due to the superintendents,
but it is largely so, and interest in
schools having been for many years
allowed to flag, it is .'difficult to re
vive it in a couple of years. Trof. W.
E. Yates the 'present incumbent has
made a gallant" effort in that directiea,
but owing to the condition in which lie
found the schools, with only partial sue-J
cess. He. would have been renomi
nated, but declined and gave as a rea
son that he was studying law and con
sidered that office too important to be
neglected for iiny other business. I
now come to speak of our candidates
for this office and as one whose chil
dren owe their education principally t
the common schools of this county. I
speak solely in the interests of those
.schools when I say Mr. Ed. Bryan is
not a suitable man for school superin
tendent. First, lieca'ise he is not a scholar
himself, never having been known as a
close student and having failed to grad
uate, although placed in circumstances
very favorable to that end.
Second, because he has chosen a
profession in . life .remote from the
management of schools. He is a law
student and will return to his studies
as scon as the present canvass is ended.
He is a bright and ambitious young
man and I hope to see him when com
ing years shall have taught him the
value of application and industry,
mount the ladder of fame. Uut lean
not afford to aid him to an ofuee he
cuild never fill with credit .to himself.
And one lie coiild only prize or esti
mate by the amount of the salary.
All who really know Mr. Bryan will
seel do him no injustice but only
draw, a faithful picture.
His opponent, Mr. Gragg, is-a very
different man; a student who has
won admiration and resppct from every
teacher who gave him a lesson; who
has surprised the finest mathematicians
I'V the facility with which he could un
ravel tlio most difficult problems and
who has not only reached, the top
round of his studies, but has for some
time been principal, with foil charge,
of the college from which he graduated.
He has chosen teaching as his pro
fession and is perfecting himself in it
by the same industry and energy ap
plied in acquiring his own education.
He does not divide his 'tine as his op
ponent does between Illaekslone and
the McKinley bill, but devotes his
whole energies to the. cause .f educa
tion.. I hope thi- voters of Benton
county will give a little thought to onr
seiiool interests and I have no fear ot
thegsult. School Patron.

There is more Catarrh in tins section of

many years doctors pronounced it a local

by -constantly failing to' cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science

BEWARE.
In its last issae, the Corvallis Times says
that it may possibly publish auotlier paper
or a supplement ou Saturday. Surely that
journal lias had time aud opportunities
enough to attack, anil defend the respective
candidates now before the people. Every
thing that could be imagined or put together
by it has beeu printed so far, that is, as all
the issues which luve, been brought up iu
the campaign at this late date are concerned.
O.ie word of warning, the ef ore, to all our
readers. Beware of campaign lies. Canards,
rumors against the republican candidates
that may be sprung on you at the last mo
