The following document has been
puTiliKhrd by the Portland press this
week, which shows an infamous frree
roent between Mayor Chapman, of that
city, and another fellow worthy, pre
vious to bis electldn about one year
go:
"Article of agreement rntoml into
this day by and between J. A. Chap,
roan of the Erst part and Luserpe Ik-user
of the second part! Whereas in
consideration of J. A. Chapman con
senting and agreeing to run at this
coming June for the office of mayor
of the city of Portland, Oregon
it is understood that the said Pett
ier is to furnish and cause to le fur
ntshed by himself and Thomas Connell
all the money necessary to elect a suit
able number of delegates a the com
ing city e'ect'on and agree to nominate
J. A. Chapman for the office of mayor,
and also to furnish money to secure
his election, and as so n as said Chap
man cakes his seat as mayor it is agreed
upon his part that be will nominate
Thomas Connell for the chief of po
lice of the city of Portland, and h
Besser for the office of superintendent
of streets of said city; and as soon as
said nominations are made and con
firmed said I Cesser aereei to pay to
said J. A. Chapman ONE THOUS
AND DOLLARS IN GOLD COIN
to pay said Chapman for his time and
trouble incident to the office of mayor
and further it is agreed that said Pes
ser agrees that he will see the repre
sentatives from the county of Multnc
mah and use his influence to have the
city charter so amended at this coming
legislature that the mayor shall have
the salary of five thousand dollars
year for attending to the duties of the
office, and in the event that Rhould the
said Besser not succeed in obtaining
an amendment to the charter allowing
a salary to the Mayor then he is to
pay annually to the mayor one thous
and dollars to compensate him for his
time and trouble and loss of time and
certain incidental expense that will nat
anHy occur in discharging tho oner
ous duties oi tho omce or tho mayor
of this city
J. A. CHAPMAN, 1 (Seal)
LUZERNE BESSEtt. ( (Seal)
Poutl n n, Ogn., May 10, 1882.
Chapman is tho same individua
who a few years since, proved himself
to be a man unworthy tho confidence
of any person or party by seeking
and obtaining the Chairmanship of the
Democratio State Central Committee
and then at a critical moment treach
erously as many believe, resigning his
trust to serve Ben llolladuy. It
is surprising to us that after .the
disgraceful act sliovo mentioned that
the people of Portland should have
confidence enough in such a man to
elect him mayor; Connell and Pewter
however were well acquainted with
his character, but these great ward
statesmen could not conceive that lie
would throw away the lost remnant
of a character already badly damaged
but which would serve to cover the
grabs and evil schemes he might hope
to have a hand in. We have heard it
asserted and now we are inclined to
accept the proposition that "if a China'
man was nominated on the Republi
can ticket of Portland he would e
elected." Ths citizens of Portland
should demand Chapman's resignation,
and the next Multnomah grand jury
should make a sarching examination
Into the facts of tho case to the end
that an unworthy public servant may
render the public real service for a
long terra of yea.x
It was but a short time since that
certain Portland journals were dis
cussing the dishonesty of the taxpayers
of the interior counties in assessing
their land at a-half or a third of its
actual value. Not the least injury of
this, they said, was throwing the heavy !
burden of taxation on the very good
and honest taxpayers of Portland.
Then it was that Scotch William, with
the Oreconian and J. Fred Clarke,
wrote such deep and profound articles
that the people could not see the lot-
tom, and straighway they becane
indifferent over the matter, and held
their peace even until the present time
Then came Sir Hugh, the money lend
er from lonnie Dundee, and wrote
many and mighty letters on honeAty,
and other themes that greatly edified
the common herd. Such was the
formidable quartette that wrote the
praise of Portland honesty, and with
much learning first taught the sin
pie rustic political economy. Their
glory will 1e in the future.
Besides being the most honest city
in the universe it is the wisest and
wealthiest, so at divers times these
writers have told us. To prove all
these things and to show their guileless
natures we submit soma extracts from
tho Multnomah county tax list, not
indeed as complimenting those whose
na.nes appear in the extract, above
those of their fellow taxpayers, who
in almost every instance are deserving
as much credit, which we doubt not
will le accorded them by our people,
while the actions of others go beyond
all praise:
First National Bank $ 60,000
Jacob Bros 21,000
W. & Ladd 220,000
D. P.; Thompson 15,000
Frank Dekum 20,000
M. Se'lers i Co 20,000
Metropolitan Bank 37,000
Bank of Oregon 30,0(i0
Bank of British Columbia.... 150,000
To show the unsullied purity and
high patriotism of these men this list
is published by us as well ns to confirm
everything tho famous quartette has
written. Theso tax payers have un
douutedly studied political economy,
and therefore have learned much that
shou'd instruct the benighted ialmbi
tants of Lane county.
After this time we think no dema
agogue will try to "cinch" Portland
but that ootue simple minded legislator
from the interior may devise and in,
troduce a bill providing for the election
of a statu board of equalization to con
sisi oi mire or u ve uioniuers, elected
i l . a.i
y districts, so apportioned tim
tho board will not 1 controlled by
Portland. And as they are mostly
fools outside of Portland it may 1
adopted as a law, and Portland b
cinched for several thousand dollars.
To avert this calamity wo have written
this pica for the honest men of Port
land.
