A republican convention of Bento;i county, Oregon, is hereby called l meet al Corvallis, On gon. on Saturday, April 'K 189S, at 10 i.'elock a. in., ror the pur pese ol electing seven delegates to the republican state convention to be held at Astoria.

The convention will c?o!i:sl of 72 delegates, ap portioned 1-; lollows: Corvallis, precinct No. 1 7 Xo. 3 S No. 3 7 No. 4 6 Blodgett 2 Wren 2 Soap (.'reek 2 Wiilsxiette 4 Hon rot.-. 4 Bellfountam 7 Kings Valley 4 Alsea 4 Sam hi it 2 Philomath 10 I'airuiount 2 Lobster 1 Twtal 72 The same being one delegate at large for each precinct and one for each 15 votes, and one for each fraction over one hall, based on the vote lor Tongue in 1S96. The committee recommends that the primaries bs held in the several precineLs at '1 o'clock, on Saturday, April 2. 1S9S. All republicans are urged to at tend the primaries and select iiood men as delegates to the conven tion. W. S. Tomlinson. J. F. Yates, Secretary. Chairman. THE GOVERNORSHIP. One of the unaccountable anv-t; that- snttieliTvips is mani fested ih a newspaper, is respon sible for the fact that no mention was made in these columns ot the forcible and logical address of Hon. T. T. Geer before the young men's republican club of Benton county. The slip is the more regretted because this paper has in its ca pacity as a public journal, criti cised the position of Mr. Geer in his recent controversy with the Oregon delegation. -Since Mr. Geer will be a candidate be fore the republican state conven tion for the nomination of gov ernor, silence concerning his vis it here might be construed to be a peevish exhibition of opposi tion. It is therefore pertinent to state frankly the Gazette's pos ition regarding Mr. Geer and the governorship. Every loyal republican wishes the republican nominee for gov ernor to be a man whose person ality commands admiration and respect; whose methods in poli tics are not those of the trickster and knave; whose nomination means success and whose admin istration will not shame the party. The republican part' of Oregon has such men, and only desperate, unscrupulous and sui cidal political scheming will prevent the selection of some such man as our standard bearer in the approaching campaign. The particular choice of this paper is of really no more mo ment than that of any individ ual citizen, but it is perhaps not out of place to say that T. T. Geer, Geo. H. Williams, Judge Fr..nk Moore or Judge Lowell at the head of the republican state ticket would have the en thusiastic support of every true republican. Of these men, Mr. Gecr is the only real candidate. He is work ing openly and legitimately for the nomination. He is not "putting up" primaries and county conventions. He is not ashamed of his candidacy and h.is friends arc not ashamed to voice their .preference. Mr. Geer only asks, and it is the right of every republican to so ask, that he have a fair and e:; :.'.! chance at the rtate conven-t-io.i. The active supporters of Mr. Geer in Benton county and all other fair minded and faithful re publicans are watching the at tempt to control the convention of this county in favor of Mr. Simon's candidate for governor. Such secret machinations (at least they are intended '.o be se cret) are abhorent to every good citizen. A man nominated bv such means cannot expect to se cure more than perfunctory sup port from the great mass of the republican party. In a close election, as the one in June is likely to be, a lack of enthusias tic popular support means cer tain defeat. The friends of Gecr are warn ing local candidates for political honors, that participation in the attempted deal means political suicide. Nor is this an unneces sary caution. The opposition to Mr. Simon's candidate is over whelming, but his agents in this county hope to make such a com bination with different interests that they can name the delegates to the state convention. To suc ceed in this they must make a parade of claimed strength. Not a precinct in the county would send a delegation to the countv convention that was ; avowedly favorable to the Simon I nomination lifting and desirable, program. The managers there- Should this happen Mr. Catch lore must rely upon securing del- would be enthusiastically support cates secretly oledp-ed to aid 1 ed and would be an honest and them. It is very improbable that any considerable number can be so secured. On the other hand -there will be many delegates who will op enly and strongly fight any such arrangement, and those who sup port the combination will be forced to show their hand. Those who trv to advance themselves ! through this means must not ex ! pect to escape the opprobium ! that is bound to follow, i The protestoi's against the se i cret work have right and public sentiment behind them and there is little fear that the cabal will be successful. There is too much at stake to allow the petty ambitions and selfishness of a few men to wreck the party. The Gazette does not say these things as the champion of j Mr. Geer. The nomination of i that gentlemen would not be dis pleasing and we could support him heartily, but this paper has no candidate for the office of governor or any other position. This paper speaks for itself and always endeavors to be explicit. The good of the party de mands frankness at this tune. There is no personal fight against tliG mea who are managing the Simon candidates' campaign. There will be no disposition to ignore them, for they have the same rights as any other republi cans and no more They have their personal ends to serve, but the convention will have as its j...... 4.1 : r u t- UULV, LilC lUllUCliUg Ul LUC I interests or uie partv ana tne .sell-servers will nave to step,he M E. church in Monroe on ; aside. I Sunday evening. CANDIDATE JOHN HENRY. D. P. Blue,of Lincoln county, 1 will be the fusion candidate for joint senator, and A. L- Clark, ' familiarly known in politics as 'John Henry," is to stump the 1 two counties as the silver nom inee for joint representative, j at least Mr. Clark so believes. There is every reason to believe that both will be blue when they j hear the result of the election. We do not know Mr. Blue. j He was Lincoln county's first : county judge a mark of Pen nover's favor. His administra tion is over, but the debts it in curred still live. He is un doubted! v a great man. Of Mr. Clark many pleasant I things can be said. He was once a. republican, but he says! i the party left him and indeed 1 the partly has progressed greatly along certain lines. But how a man who is so slow that he can not catch up with a political party, can expect to make a fast race for a prize so illusive as an elective office, is past compre hension. John Henry is a genial and ; very frank gentleman. He be lieves everything he says and he ! is not backward in talking. John Henry denounces vigor ously the legislative hold-up and those who took part therein. Ev- ery republican will endorse! John's position on this matter, but they will not vote for him. Their candidate, whoever he is, will take the sitne view. Mr. Whitaker will have to cast a vote condemning his cause as an elected legislator or vote blank 'on joint representative. . John Henry on the stump will j prove more entertaining and as unterrifyiug as John Henry, the correspondent. He is now camp- ed high up on Grass mountain I eating dog salmon and thinking out figures. The deep reverber ating sounds now heard every af ternoon in the Alsea valley is not thunder. John Henrv is 011- i 1 j 1 out 01 ins doings. borne cyni cal sinner will be apt to attribute all John's outpourings to a desire for office. "He lias done the service and now demands recom pense." Well John, you are into it now, but it will not last long. Election day will sooh roll 'round and, well, here's our sympathy ia advance. "I told you so."

From the republican ranks comes the demand that the state ticket be made up of men of good character and ol irreproachable politiogl reputation. This demand will have to be heeded. The league of republican elubs set the pace in the selection of its officers. The election of Claude Catch ol Salem as president ot the league was so satisfactory that he is urged as splendid material for a republican candidate on the stale ticket. He had, however, no desire to complicate the politi cal situation or, let his personal in terests even threaten to create dis card. Marion county has two candidates for the nomination of governor, and Mr. Catch, it is un derstood, believes that they are en titled to the right of way. It is possible that affairs may so shaoe themselves as to make hi efficient secretary of state. He would not be deleated by any fu sion ist. Mr. Fulton, vice president of the league, has been mentioned in connection with the office of gov ernor, but he has definitely stated that he, under no circumstances, would be a candidate lor the posi lion. Mr. Fulton is a magnificent campaigner and a thorough-going republican. The secretary, Harry Wells, is a man of high character, and worthy of the confidence re posed in hi nr. The league has set a good ex ample for the state convention. Nominate upright men; men who have 1 ight convictions; men who ar.- honest in business and politics; men who can be supported with out shame. or reservation. MONROE ITEMS.

Our part of the county is entitled to this officer, but whether Milt is successful in the convention or not remains to be seen. Hogs and sheep are bringing .good prices, not on account ol the influence of the present adminis tration, but on account of the de maud caused by the people who will eat, and must have the where withall to appease their appetites.
