Oregon, May 19, 1894.)
Harrison R. Kincaid, the republi-
n nominee ior secretary 01 scale,
s burn in Indiana, eighteen miles
rtheast of Indianapolis, January 3,
36. From his eighth to tenth year
traveled with his father and mother
th a team, camping -out in summer
d housing ui in winter, through
inois, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas,
feiiuessee ana f.eutucKy, ann re-
nitfd to Indiana by steam hoat from
e:ii)his to Jftieraonvuio. ine re
under oi the time ut to Ins seven
iiith birthday was spent in working
the farm, plowing, cutting wood,
ubljing, clearing an-! performing
her hard mmuil labor, and m at-
nding country schools a very small
brtion of the timt. In 1&53, in his
'hteentli year, he came with his
ents ud three sisters ami one
ither, he hang the oldest of the
ildren, to Oregon. He drove an x
nil all the way from .Indiana to the
illamette valley. They crossed the
ississippi river at Burlington on the
e and the Missouri river at C luncil
ulfs on a steamboat. There was
t a bouse then where the city of
bin ha now utands, and no setile-
nts along the emigrant trail west of
... - -i . i
e Missouri river until iney arrivt u
Foster's, near Oregon City. In
Ltober, 1853, they settled near La
ne, where Mr, Kincaid h is resided

him, worked at uiggmg in me uim
fce a'. S.n iuglield, near Eugene, and
the harvest field. In the upring o!
53, he went to the mines in South-
n Oregon on foot, and worked in
mines on Althou.se creek, during
it summer. When wor: nt tne
nes was stopped by the Indians
llingagood many miners, he went
foot carrying his liiankels and
king utensils, over the C-a-.t
mntains to Crescent City, California
d snent the winter there niakin
phia in 1872, when Grant was nomi
nated for president the second time
w'th Henry Wilson for vice president.
He has frequently been a delegate in
county and state conventions and h: s
taken an active part in the non.ii:
tion and selection of officers for more
than thirty years.
In 1877 when the agitation in fiver
of rcnionetizing silver was first started
he took sides promptly in favor of sil
ver, and in editorials and in Washing
ton correspondence in his paper vigor
ously supported silver nt a time when
the onlv republican in the senate from
Oregon opposed the niea-uiv, ond
when no oil er ; a.er in Oregon sup
ported it. If-? has been a firm and
consistent suppoiter of silver money
and bimetalisin ever si, ice Cor a period
of seventeen years, until no
public sentiment, as well as
the public welfare, clearly le
in ukIs it all over the Pacific cease.
Jle took a leading part in opposing,
through editorials in his paper, the re I
peal hy the legislalure of the laws tax
ing mortgages and exempting indebt
edness, last year, on the ground that it
was class legislation, legislation favor
ins the wealthy at the expense of ilie
o I
laboring, enterprising people, who
produce everything ot value and fre
quently borrow ami pay interest on ah
tile ci pital they use. and by ihe re
peal of tho-e laws ::re now required '
law to pay taxes m a.Miiion to interest
on all their debts. O i the other hand
he has vigorously opposed in the col
mnns of his paper all schemes to rob
people of their cubital, . wheth r it be
much or liHie, by. das legislation, cal
ciliated to coniiscate the lands,
houses, money, or property of any
person, whether it be by the i..suu.i:e
of fiat money, the adoption of a single
tax on land, or any other scheme to
enaoie some of the pe-iple to live for
a time without work on the accumu
lated Savings of olh'-'is, who have been
more industrial, more frugal, or more
successful than themselves. And ir

classmates were Joaquin Miller, J.

lers who have since been promt

In the summer of 18G0 he corn-

inpaign. Ju loot he made several

e McKenzie trail with pack animals,
lossing snow ten feet deep a distance of
enty miles the first trip, supplying
ovisions to the miners at Canyon

In 18G2 anud 18G3 he worked as

id issued the first number of the Ore-
Mi suite journal at n,iiireiie. which
lias continued to edit ever sincrf,
bw for a jieriod of more than thirty
ars continuously. It has been re
irkable for the candor, indepen
;nce, consistency ana miitorni gooii
dgment and fairness of its editorials,
ways expressing decided opinions on
jpiportant questions as they came
for discussion and decision, from
me to tune, and never watting to as-
rtain what direction public opinion
on Id take or what nny other paper or
rson might say. Uut every ques-
pn ns been considered upon its
erits, from a public standpoint, and
rsonalities and attacks upon the
otives and private character of ititii-
duals, whether in public or private
e. have lcen carefully avoided, so
at the editor enjoys the respect and
mfidence not only of the entire
jwspaper fraternity of the state, re
irdless of politics, but of the people
all parties, including those whose
Mtiions and interests he has most
rongly opposed. He served as a
erk in the Uuited States senate
even vears, terminating in lune,
B79, when the democrats gained eon-
ol of that body and removed the re-
kiblicans for political reasons and fill
Ll their )lac s with democrats. Dur
g that time he kept up his paper at
ugene and wrote for it every week
prrespondence and most of the edi-
inais, as he has done continuously
r more than thirty years, and also at
arious times was the regular Wash-
gton correspondent of the Orego-
ian. the Portland Bulletin, the Jack-
pnville Sentinel, and other papers.
In 1868 lie was one of the six dele
tes from Oregon iu the republican
ational convention at Chicago, that
ominated U. S. Grant for president
ud Schuyler Colfax for vice president,
hd was also a delegate in the republi
nn n.a.tional convention at fhiladel-
ol who
oppose, or wnether it
might be popular or unpopular at the
time.
While, he was clerk in the senate at
Washington, he was nominated, with
out solicitation or desire on his part,
by the republican st.tte convention
held at Portland in 1870 for state
printer. The republicans were in a
minority at that ti.ue and none of
their stale candidates were elected,
but Mr. Kincaid came nearer being
elected than any other candidate oir
the state ticket, being defeated by a
' majority ol only 493 votes iu a toal

suggested by friends . for county " and
state offices, but h always declined to
I be a candidate. When his name was
first suggested for secretary of st ite by
a Salem paper, he published an edi
torial in his paper at Eugene, saying
he was not a candidate for tha', oi any
other office. He did not. eminent to al
low his name to be used until many
other favorable expressions had volun
tarily appeared in the papers repuli
liean, democratic and populi.it and
many private letters had been received
urging him to be a candidate. The
unanimous support ot the 1G3 dele
gates in the Lane county lepublican
convention was entirely voluntary oir
their part, not a man in the county
having b-en asked by Mr. Kincaid to
support him, and his nominatio i by
the republican state convention was in
the same manner the free and nub as
ed choice of a majority of ihe dele
gates. It waj clearly an instance of
the ollice seeking the man. Oil all
questions for improvement in the con
dition of the people he has been a
leader and not a follower of public
opinion, which now approves of nearly
every position he has ever taken, of
ten against the popular current in the
tide, thus vindicating his superior fore-
sight and judgment.
He has always been industrious, tern
perate, economical, careful, accurate,
and prompt in ail thing. He has p-r
formed a vast amount of physical and
iii.-nlal labor, and is capable of doing
more hard work now thin the average
man of h i f his a'e. II n-ing man
aged his own business successfully, of.
ten under very unfavorable circum
stances, he is a safe man to Hint with
public business, anid is peculiarly well
qualified to discharge the responsible
and important duties of secretary of
state, to which office he will surely be
elected by a very large vote on the 4'h
day of next June.

M. Brown, republican nominee for
dist.ict attorney. Cottle is the
manager of the State Insurance
Co. and doesn't like Mr. Brown
because he lailed to get him to as
sist in defrauding people who had
claims against his company. Let
Cotlle attend to his insurance
business, the republicans will
eleot their state and district of
ficers. The very best reason why
Mr. Brown should be elected is
because such men as Cotle do
not like him.

As fiilnfi st itriiri'iri'.s li.ive been circulated

p:.-ce of laml wliicli I pin cli;ised from tho
state Inst November, I beg le;t'e to submit
to you the following.

Udiititu Co., Or, Mty 27tli, 1894.
This certifies that tilt; following is a true
statement of the transaction bet .veeii myself
and Virgil E. Watters in regard to a certain
piece of land, various fal.se reports of which
sucmeil to be circulated iu B. utoii county.
I consulted Mr. Watters in regard to ti.e
laud in question, ami he told me it was va
cant unless it was included in a certain
pilot. About a week or no following, I j
was in Mr. Watter's office, an. I told him j
Hoiiiel liiii!' to the effect tli 't I old not care !
to bother with it. I did not see Mr.
Watters again for soise than after he had
taken the laud. 1 know of nothing in re.
gard to the transaction that would charge
Mr. Watters of unfairness.

H. L. IIolgate,
Justice of the Peace.
Corvaiiis. Or., May 27, 1891.
I was present in the recorder's office v. li-.'ii
Mr. Min ton called to as'c about a- certain
piece of land being vauai.t, and my recollec
tion about the matter is that as Mr. Mintou
was leaving the office he told Mr. Witters
that lie dill not thin' he would have any- !
thing to do with it. After Mr. Minimi left
and after his saying th it he did not want
it, I urged Mr. Watters to take it himself
and told liiin that I could secure it for li'lll. j
1
Mr.-Watters decided to Jenve tho matter f.-r
two weeks, fearing that Mr. Mintou might
chauge his mind jiud want it, and then as
Mr. Min ton had m ide no efiVirt to get it, he
asked mo to secure it for him which L did.
1'here was nothing in the-wli de transaction
iiut was fair, honorable, and above board.
John D. Daly.
I did not intend to pay any itttentl'oi to
the misstatements, and fehould not have
lone so, had not the editor of the Times
(who was wrongly informed) in speaking of
the matter in the last issue thereof, stated
in sulistaDce that I had no land iu Ben tun
county. A3 I have purchased, or have
attempted to purchase hut one piece of land
while occupying my present position, the
above certificates have reference thereto.
