Hayes using every means to bring him down to the same low level with the editor of that paper, hut in dvery endeavor he has complete. ly failed. Nearly every person who has. resided in Lane county for Hvo years known Dick Hayes, bunco the Hippie organ's attae'e falls flat. In its last issuo it accuses Mr Hayes with expending the money appropriated for the Siuslaw road in a reckless and ex trevagant manner. No person ac quainted with tho fact concerning tho building of the row I, will pay any attention to such slanderous assertions. The following is tho true status of the ease. When tho survey of the road was completed it was estimated that the road would cost about $11,500. About (6,000 have been expended on the road, and it is estimated that $3,000 will complete tho same, show ing that under Mr. II aye' economi cal management the road will cost about $2,500 less than tho amount estimated, which amount the county will save. We have talked with Re publicans who have, been employed cn the road, and they all Kay that more work has been done on the road with, greater results than they ever saw before with tho samo amount of money. To show further tho confidence of all in Mr. Hayes' integrity and honesty we will state that lion J. C. Church, under whose administration the last appropriation was made, continued him in the honorable position, conclusively proving that the Journal's venomous attack on Mr. Hayes is due to tho ma' lignant disposition of the unprincipled scribbler of the Journal, tlorencoaiul Cheshor precinct, where tho facts are best known, will give Dick Hayes heavy majorities. Mr. A. D. Ilurton, a Dem ocratic nominees for Representative, who lives in Springfield precinct, obtained a notice in last week's Weak ly Buzzard. Mr. Burton is one- of Lane county's best citizens and has resided among us since the days of '50, and has gained and ever maintained a reputation for honesty, integrity and ability, superior to that of any candi date on the Republican ticket The weakling slandeicr and penny-a-liner only benefitted Mr. Ilurton by his feeble misrepresentations. Mr. Ilur ton is a farmer, has represented the farmer of Lane county before, doins good service, and will represent them in the next Legislature It is currently reported that the Journal will appear this week with all kinds of political slander. We would caution, our many Democratic friends to put no trust in reports circulated on the eve of election. The fact that they are circulated when there ia no chance for reply, is evidence that they are designs to deceive the credulous anal persons unacquainted with the characters and acta of candidates. Jf the dlegations are true why did not the Journal expose the delinquents weeks ago when they could have lieen fully investigated, which was what the editor of that sheet did not want. Got. Thayer ia known personally to many of the citixeni of Lane county. le wil run ahead of his ticket Some Pertinent Qiuliont Mr. Rodney Scott please stand up and answer the following question: Will you vote for John H. Mitchell for U. S, Senator, if elected? Did you work and 'vote for Allen Bond for Senator two years ago? Did you make assertions two years ago that a certain church had captured the County Convention, and that they could elect their own ticket? Will you vote in favor of the Wo man Suffrage Amendment at the com ing election? Don't your friends intending trading off liar pole, Dick and Zumwalt in your individual interest? Did you ever mako yourself heard in the Legislature, except to move to ad journ? Are your friends working the educa tional "racket" in your favor to tho detriment of Harpolet Does John Kelly say you must le elected, at all hazards, because you can help him in getting back into the Custom House by voting for his pet Senator? Mr. Zumwalt has "bit off more than he cm chaw." He is a strong Anti Monopolist and low tariff man, but the Republicans placed him on a hiifh tariff platform containing a phnk or two in favor of big monopolies. Jack has been writhing and twisting under the galling load, but the Republican bosses cinched the Republican saddle on him so tight they have completely exhausted Jack's wind, mid he now only grunts and twists. Jack was booked on pur pose to be left, ami moot gloriously will lie he laid up to dry on election day. One of tho members of the ring in Eugene last Monday said "that Dick & Co were doing good work for the party, but they had no show to be elected; only Scott and McClung had any chance of election whatever." What do the friends of Messrs. Hamole Zumwalt and Dick think of such asser'.ions, made by one of the leading members of the Eugene ring? Only put forward to be slaughtered in the inter est of :wo men who don't dare go be forn the people and be ijuestioncd. Shame on such perfidy!. The ring in Eugene , is endeavoring to elect McClung and Scott for the reason that they are known to he favorable to .Mitchell. Dick, Zumwali and Harpole were merely put on the ticket to afford an opportunity to trade. We do not believe, tint neoile of Lane county will en lorse tho action of the clique in Eugene, which isctin posed of men who will scruple at noth ing. I he masses of the Republicans are honest, and we believe, will retire tho ringsters and their tools. Messrs Harpole and Dick have tacitly agreed to support Mitchell or any other Portland corruptionist who may be brought forward for the U S Senate. But the small nuni'ier of put house politiians in Eugene have not bound them down with cast iron pledges as they have no hope of their election. Will somi) Republican friend point to a singlu thing Mr. Zumwnlt did in toe Houso of Representatives during the session ho wns there, except sit in his seat and vote us he was told and draw . . l v . i . hispayl ota single one; not a. notion! to adjourn. It's a brilliant blank. Many R publicans ii Line cojnty are demanding the retirement of the carpet-bng Iowa Mntesman from the chairmanKhipof the Republican County Committee. Rut the masses of the party have nc rights in that organiza tion; its only tho rng in Eugene, If you wish to voto for the suffrage amendment with a Democratic ticket write "yes" opposite or under the word "Constitutional Amendment;" if you oppose the measure, write "no." It is rumored that the Republicans have received a corruption fund, and will freely disburse on Monday. There is a strict law about briliery which their strikers should read. Nearly one half of the candidates on the Lane County Democratic ticket are native Orcgonians. This proves con clusively that our party is in favor of home production. Vote the entire Democratic Legisla tive ticket The successor of Senator Slater depends upon the result Democrats should voto the entire ticket Personal feelings should not milita'.e against any candidate. The indications are, at this time, that the Democrat will elect every man on the county ticket Be on the watch for liogus ticket. They are luhla to he circulated by the Republican managers. Coleman will be elected Senator by over 200 majority. Mark our predic tioa Democrat vote the straight ticket, and we caa elect the whole ticket. Vote the entire Democratic ticket. John H. McClung, It is my important that you answer tha following quMtious honestly and correctly i Are you not aa ardent supporter of the Women Suffrage cause? Will you not vote for Hipple ilitcliell, if elected to the Legislature? Do you not know that your friend are bnaily engaged trying to lecure your elic tiou by trading off Dick k Co. Did you tint lay that it wa impossible, on iccouut of business, for you to make the can van of the enmity, while you have been running over tho county daily "still hunt ing?" In the Republican caucui did yon not emphatically decliue to be a candidate for Uspreseutativa under any enntideration, and then next day allow your fnenda to gather vots for you while the other two candidate were thinking that you would tliscoun Countenance inch work, and then allow your name to go before the convention without offering any objection. And further, did not Kelly "induce" you to "reconiider?" A Grand Record. We have been looking over the Legisla tive record for the acti of A J Zumwalt, J II McClung, Rodney Scott and J W liar- pole, while in the Legislature. It ii grand record; one of which the party of "iutelli gence" should be proud. It will never be laid they worked agaiuit the iuterest of the couuty or State or in favor. The record it as fellows: He fore nominating A J Zumwalt for Sen ator, the Republican ring in this city inter viewed a promineut Auti-Monopolist of Cot tage Grove preciuct, aud desired him to make certain pledges in regard to voting for a certain party fur U 8 Senator, and he would be nominated for SUte Senator, but he emphatically refused. The question in said Anti-Monopolist's mind is whether Mr Zumwalt gave the pledges required. Prob ably Mr Zumwalt could enlighten our reader on the subject matter iu bis little speech at the Court House to-day. The Journal says we wilfully misrepre sented the facts when we stated that Alleu Ilond ran behind his ticket in the Eugene precincts. Let's look into the facts of the case: Ceorge fur Congress received 2G9 votes and Bond 243, which shows 20 against Bond; Shelly, for Sheriff received 234 votes and Campbell 233; S U Eakin, for Ucpresen tative received 2G8. As will be seen by the above, Bond was hidly scratched by the Eugene ring. The Republicans in Lane couuty have no hope, and only expect to secure one mem. ber in the Legislature through the swapping prM!ss. They pruptuo to give up all to secure either Rodney Scott or J H McClung. Rut their lit tie game will hardly win iu Lane. The Djiii lorats have an excellent ticket and it will be eluded solid. Portland Staudaid. Frank Osburn, m Coroner, will "it upon" the defunct body of the Republican party iu Lane county on next Tuesday, hen the returns are received. The verdict will be: "N.t a man elected on the Reoubiican ticket; the people ton intelligent to submit to the dictntion ot the Eugene clique." If the Democrats will do thei- duty Mon day every man t n the Democratic comity ticket will bo elected. The county is Demo cratic on a full vote, aud by working ami voting straight, Line county will mice again be governed by a full board of Democratic (illierre after July lit. While in other reec-ta things are tolerably encouraging the prntpect for a rousing vote for Hon.

Suuulanl. One of the candidates ou the Republican ticket for County Commissioner, who lives in Irving precinct, has been charged withhelp ing dnfeut O It Bean two year ago for a like poaitou. Will the party endorse his action At that time. Be sure and attend the speaking at the Ceurt House this afternoon at 1pm. Re publicans make an honest comparison of the speakers, aud then vote for the men best fitted to represent you in the hall of the State Legislature. Remember that Jieo W Kinsey is the reg ular Democratic candidate for Justice of the Peace ia South Eugene piecinct, aud J D Brown for Constable. Vote for them. At the (peaking to-dsy call out Scott and McClung and have them deSue their posit ion upon the many question before the people. They dare not do it Every Democrat in Lane county should vote Mouday. Remember it will have it turlueuceon the Presidential election thit Fall The present efficient Sheriff, J It Camp bell, will be elected by a greater majority tl.an he received two year ago. Mr James Xoland has had much experi ence aa a surveyor. He i the right ma in the right place. Give him your vote. Dick Hayes will be elected by over 100 majority, despite the dishonorable lies told by the Ninth street sewer organ. Be certain and vote for B H James for Treasurer. We can assure our readera of his competency and reliability. Mr tf H James, our nominee forTreasnrer will raa ahead of bis ticket ia Eugene, twenty-live vote. It is a disgrace to any party to have to import a Chairman for their County Com mittee from Iowa, For Commissioner voU. for Meesre H X Hill and J G Mitchell, both practical far- 4 Slate UaiTertiiy. The lost issue of the Ninth Street Impotent has a great deal to say con cerning the State University, and the Democratic connection therewith. It is a matter of history that from the inception of said educational institution the Democracy, state and county, has ever lieen its truest supporter. The bill locating the University was drawn by a Democrat, passed by a Democratic Legislature and signed by a Democrat- , , , ,, ic Gove rnor. Such honest and a'.le Democrats as 13. i. Dorrw. T. G. Hendricks and J. J. Walton, gave money and time liberally to the con struction of the building. Indeed it is not too much to say that Lane eoun ty owis its successful completion to the vigorous exertions of these men and W. J. J. Scott The building was ac cepted on the part of the State by Gov. L. F. Grover, Secretary of State S. F. Chadwick and Treasurer A. II. Drown, all Democrats. The Board of Regents, appointed from tho aetive workers for the University, were mainly Demo ocrats. They were not, however, im bued with partisan ideas in their man agement of the trust, and they chose a faculty in which there was only one Democrat Afterwards a bill giving the University $2,500 a year was worked through the Legislature by Democrats. Now we come down to the action of the last Legislature. The Journal says tint It. M. Veatch opposed every measure in the interest of that inxtitu tion. We say the editor of that delec table sheet knowingly and deliberately lies. Mr. Veatch did oppose tho coup ling of the State tax with the Villard donation for the reason that he wanted them kept distinct and separate. The organ fails to stale that R. M. Veatch made one of the liest speeches of the session endeavoring to make the State tax one-fifth of a mill instead of one tenth for the support of the University. The reduction, nevertheless, was made by the Republican Legislature. The Journal dare not deny the above. 1 0 show .Mr. Veatch s connection with the University bill, we publish the wholo record relating to that bill, as given in tho House Journal of 182: On page 140 we find that Hon. R. 1). Hayes introduced II. 1). 117 for the support of the University; read first time; on page 157 bill read second lime, without dissent On page 184 we tind that Hayes moved thnt bill be referred to committee, ou education, Veatch voting for the measure. On page 207 we find the bill was brought iqioii its final passage, unci that R. M Veatch voted for it Pagf 477, House Journal, we find Mr. Veatch voting for S. U. R. No. 14, introduced by Senator Hendricks, extending the thanks of the people of Oregon to Mr. ft. Villard fir the donation of $jO,0'JO. This is Mr Veatcli's whole record on the University bill. And still the Ninth Street lilowlnud says that .Mr. Veatch is opposed to the University. Every true friend of the Oregon State University will vote for Veatch, not withstanding the misstatements of facts iu that paper last week. Anyone can see the above records by calling at this odice. They conclusively prove the editor of the Excuse to have falsi fied. Tho record shows thnt 11 M Veatch was und is a true friend to our University. A Falskhood. Last Monday's Ore- gonian containei! an item charging Hon. John Myers of makins the rounds of tho State on a free pass. That paper, generally treats Democratic candidates with fairness, but during the present campaign it has taken nt vantace of every occasion to traduce Mr. Myerc, simply for the reason that he is known to lie opposed to all mon opolies. Mr. Myers has informed us that he has paid his fare over the lines of all transportation companies the same as any other private citizen. Why a journal like tho Oregonian should mistate such a question is lieyond our conception. McClung and Scott, who have been "still hunting" throughout Lane county ever since the Republican County Con vention, and have been masquerading under many false colors, expect to be elected by the aacrafice of Dick, Har pole and Zu.uwak, and their friends the Eugene ring are busily engaged to-day trying to accomplish their des picable scheme by trading. Hon orable men seldom resort to such dishonorable methods. Democrats stand by the entire ticket Let's send the news abroad June 3d that old Lane has been redeemed! Money without stint has been re cei ved by the Eugene ringsters from the Portland ringsters. It will be used to corrupt voters. W give warning right here that there is a severe law against briliery, and that any person who ni lies any attempt to buy votes will 1 punished. Democrats, be on your watch and the first man found disbursing money have hiiu arrested. The Republican paper iu this city does not talk like it did two years ago, when it advised all Republicans to aI .'.!. T . t i: swapping, scratching or anything else to elect a portion of their ticket. Den . ocrats, don t be fooled by that paper, j and then bo ief red at br the Hinnlei -- organ. Mr L Bilyeu will receive many Republican votes in this city, where he is lutimaiely acquainted. lie is a fanner's son, has lived all his life in Oregon, possesses 8ns ability, has obtained a good education through bis own efforts, and is a nan whom the teo;le can trust He ia a brother of Senator W R Bil yeu of Linn, who draw the Oregon Mortgage Tax 1-aw and introduced it in the Legislature. Every farmers should vote for Mr. Bilysu. Mr. C. K. Hale, the Democratic can didate for clerk, is a graduate of the Stato University and fully competent j dh "ge the duties of th oflice Mr. Hale should receive the vote ot Denioerat m "There is no man in the Stato of Oregon better qualified for the posi tion," seems to lie a favorite phrase with tho editor of our contemporary. We suppose he judges the candidate by himself. If you want a Representative from Oregon vote for John Myers. If yon want the Portland ring of aliout twen live persons represented vote for Bin ger Herman. Jack Zumwalt a short time since, was badly used up in an argument be foie tho Grange by a girl. Enoch, you should hav? pity for tho poor fel low, to-day. Attend the speaking at the Court House this evening. Gov. Whiteaker is an interesting and instructive speak er, and should address a large audience We have heard the question asked, "who is this man Simmons the Repub licans have nominated for AssessorF We give it up. "Still hunting" will not win. Scott and McClung will be defeated in spite of all trad ing, etc. Don't swap; don't trade; don't scratch, is our advice to our Democratic friends. A vote for Puott and McClung is a vote to indorse Womin KufTruge and Mitchell. Don't believe any electioneering tales sprung on election day. Read the editorials on the first page.

I To Luckci Bristow at Supreme Judge The office of Supreme Judge is non-partf,, ItUamatterofnolmportante to nlne-tenthl of the voters of the State whether he be Democrat or a Republican. The two laeulinjr and, in fact all sufficient test by which votari will be governed in roakiog choioe for7 office are competency and integrity Th' has come when the penile demand a brscUS lawyer for the bench. Wedeaire to placeoul. Supreme Court on a levol in point of abillt and clenn law with those of other state, via wuut to make the opinion of our court recom mend themselves to the uonsi leraiion of thl courts of otlwr state. WW Thayer fills the requisite of the almve tests in a ruit emineat ami satisfactory decree. As lawyer he stands second to none hi the State. Hi official In tcgrity ia above reproach. lie would add weight and worth to tlve decision of our court. His ripe experience as a practitioner places hiiu above all others in point ot fitness for the bench. No wonder, then, that voter in laive bodies without regard to party will vote for es Oovernor Thayer. "" Voter should be careful f, notice every name carefully, and be sure thaA there is no mistake. Though the tickets printed at this office are all right, the opposition in it des peration ia liable to put out other with, tome fault in them. Read every name, and be- cer tain that it is just right Will .ime of our Republican friend tell u what either Messrs. Harpole, Zumwalt, Scott or McClung ever accomplished when they were members of the Legislature. The House Jour nals show that beyond voting, these member accomplished nothing. Remember that Dr A W Patterson wa largely instrumental in securing the State Uni versity to Lane county, and vote accordingly. Dr Patterson is a man of fine education and native ability. He will receive many Republi can votes, and his election is assured. If the people of Lane county will consult theii interests they will vote the entire Dem ocratic legislative ticket, as they will not vote for a protectionist to represent them in the U S Senate. Vote for Ja W Hamilton for Prosecuting Attorney. He filled the office with much credit four yours ago. Hi competitor ia not competent to fill the office. Both Blaine and Arthur have delegate sufficient to secure the Presidential nomina tion, according to the "correct estimates of their respective friends. We feci safe in saying thut the Democrat will elect every uiau ou tlwir county ticket this year. Cun. (imit is wrecked liimuciully, the re sult of stork (,'a'ohlin on Wall street.
