Has Grover Cleveland Hypnotized
Governor Pennoyer?
Many visitors in the executive office of
the government at Salem have noticed
the pen and ink, or photographed sketch
of President Cleveland, nailed to the
edge of the window frame close to the
governor's chair. Whenever the govern
or raised his head in meditation on the
coming campaign speech, those features
of that serene and well-fed physiognomy,
met his eye. ' Fancy the effect on that
studious and meditative man! The friend
who bestowed that New Year's gift on
the governor did him an ill turn. Con
stant comtemplation of the president,
morning, noon, and night, would surely
involve one of two opposite results on so
sensitive a mind: Either he would be
come the idol of the governor's worship;
his firmness; his honesty of purpose; his
courage of his opinions, and his other at
tributes forming a halo of glory round
that massive brow, or else, repulsion in
stead of attraction would result. Envy,
hatred, malice, and all uncharitableness,
woulJ. gradually inspire tire governor's
thoughts. It seems from his campaign
speech that this last is the condition of
affairs. Let the governor's populist best
friend burglariously enter his room, and
remove that offending picture ere it t e
too late and the neighboring asylum all
too soon claim another distinguished in
mate. Hard Times Prices.

written "Protection'' 011 two of them and
'"McKinley" on the other two. Their

Could not have been other than greatly en
hanced by the presence ot Lincoln, Grant,
McKinley, Gai tield aud Harrison by huge
portrait. Written over the speakers
stand were the words, '"Protection to

All this ami more, for the sweet odor of a

With a treat effort the chairman, Mr. 11.
A. Logan quelled the enthusiasm to per

selection.
Hon. George Waggoner hurled torpedoes

a half hour, Lick of organization, he said,
has been the cause of republican defeat, de
pending entirely upoti tha good judgment of
citizens iu votiuu its principles, whilst de
mocracy has won only by concerted aud
systematic organization. He likened the
democratic party to a blind Sampson, who
was afraid to take out the pillars of iron

said, made it necessary for him to cut it
very short. -
. "The orchestra played a selection especi

closing the program with, '"lie got it where

DOINGS IN LINCOLN COUNTY
Farmer Discusses Crops, Mines,
Clams, Polities, Etc.
Cold winds, rain and a backward
spring are among the causes of discon
tent with us just now, but the hills are
green and the fruit trees in blossom, and
they promise an abundant crop of grass
and fruit While the fish in our waters
are always an abundant crop, and clams
ripen every month in the year, so that
we have good cause to rejoice that gaunt
hunger can never cross the dividing line
between us and less favored places.
As a general thing, we are a happy
and contented people, perhaps not quite
so progressive as some others, but still
happy, and there are heroes among us,
too, men and women of no note, who do
great deeds, speak great words, and suf
fer noble sorrows, and who will never be
known till that hour when many that
are great shall become small and many
that are small shall become great.
Every day brings us some new settler
on the newly-surveyed lands in ; th.is
county, and when the Siletz Indian res
ervation is thrown open for settlement
we expect quite a rush of settlers and a
large addition to our population. The
new arrivals are generally thrifty peo
ple who will make good citizens, and
they all speak highly of the place, and
are well 'eased.
Politics ,re the main subject of interest
here just now, and as the election
approaches the interest increases.
A great deal depends on the result and
every one seems fully alive to that fact.
The feeling is intense, and yet I never
saw an election campaign where so much,
good feeling and manliness prevailed.
There is absolutely no ill feeling. The
republicans are warning up for the race
111 a spirited manner. The clubs at To
ledo, Waldport and Ona hold weekly
meetings with a large attendance. At-,
Toledo on Monday last W. T. Radir ad
dressed a crowded house and made many
friends and no enemies for the cause; he
astonished every one with his manly and
successful speech.
At Waldport on Saturday last there
was a large meeting of the club there.
Speeches were made by R. A. Bensell,
John D. Daley, Judge Burt, John Buck
ley, J. M. Stanton and Judge Stearns.
They had good music by an excellent
choir, and a crowded house; everything
passed off in splendid style and "the re
publicans are all happy and confident.
Arrangements are being made to visit
the club at Ona, on Beaver creek,
shortly.
The steamer Lillian is expected'to ar
rive here shortly from Siuslaw, and will
run between Toledo and Newport in
charge of Capt John Blake.
The railroad commissioners passed
over the road today on a special train
with Receiver Clark.
Black sand mining is creating much in
terest here now and claims are being lo
cated everywhere that water can be
found. The reason for this is that Messrs.
Wink & Buntz claim to have discovered
a simple process of saving the gold by
chemicals ami they are proving their
claims to be well grounded. ,
I have just heard that a canvass of jthis
county is to be made by the candidates
of the several political parties, and if it
is done I will try to keep you posted as
to their doings. Farmer.

Presented With a Cane.
In appreciation of his long and untir
ing service in the work of the Presbyter
ian church, a number of the congrega
tion met at the residence of Caleb Davis
last Monday evening and there pre
sented him with a gold-hesfded cane. A
few appropriate remarks were made by
W. E. Yates on behalf of the friends and
members of the congregation. Follow
ing him Dr. Thompson, in a few well
chosen words presented the cane to Mr.
Davis, as a slight token of the high es
teem in which he was held by the mem
bers of the Presbyterian church, of Cor
vallis, for his active and painstaking ser
vice covering a period of nearly two
score years. The following day Mr. Da
vis left for Saratoga, New York, as a
commissioner from the Presbytery of the .
Willamette to the general assembly that
convenes next week.
Sunday Excursion.
The Marine band of this city have
chartered the steamer Elwood for an ex
cursion to Salem and return next Sun
day. Being the first excursion of the
season, and probably the only one as far
as Salem, owing to the low stage of the
river during the summer, it is no doubt
that they will have, a crowd. The fara
has been placed at the reasonable rate of
$ .Oi for round trip. Boat wi I le: v.- Cau
thorn's wharf at 6:30, arriving in Salem
at 11 a. m., and leaving Salem on rcturr
trip at 3 p. in., making a stay of four
hours iu the capitol city. The baud wil"
furnish plenty of music, and business
men and others will have an opportunity
to enioy a pleasant river excursion.
Tickets on sale at the Gazette office and

Two hundred and eight delegates tc

local reception committee, and escorted
to the Christian church where they were

committee and escorted in ones aud twos
to various parts of the city where quar
ters had been secured for the visitors
during their stay. At 2 o'clock simul
taneous denominational consecration
services were had in the various churches.
The college faculty had kindly set apart
the chapel for the use of the convention
which holds three sessions daily, begin

evening an interesting lecture was de

John Willis Bair, of Boston, Mass.
A Joint Canvass.
