To the E ditor of the T imes : Linn county being honored withone nominee ou lhe Democratic State tick et, would, by your kind permission, say a word for her representative to the people of your locality and of the State at large through the columns of the T imes . Hou. T. J. Slitee, nominee for the position of Superintendent of Public Instruction, is the gentleman we allude to, and desire to say a word for to all good men, regardless of party. Mr. Stites is one of our old and reliable cit izens, who has resided amongst us and been identified with our interests, pub lic and private, social, educational and moral, for over 1G years. He has been closely imlentified with the public non-sectarian school interests for many years. He was a public school teacher before coining to Oregon, and almost immediately upon his advent among us took charge of the public schools of Albany as principal, and by his zeal, energy and assiduous efforts to build them up he soon rendered it absolute ly Decessary that two more additional school houses should be erected for public use. From this position Mr. Stitos was elected Superintendent of the pub lic schools of our county, which he held four years, and by his excellent admin istrative ar d executive ability organ ized a system of progress, that soon assumed such an impetus, onward and upward, that no obstacle has yet arisen during the lapse of years to retard it. Hence Linn county has .something to boast of iu her system of conducting her schooV, and iu the excellent last ing beneficial results to our whole peo ple which have accrued in consequence. And for all tins she is thankful to Mr. Stites; and other excellent men have as his successors iff office been wise enough to follow, rather than change, the system he Inaugurated. Mr. Stites served us one term in our Legislalute, «and was last chosen two years ago Clerk of our courts. And in these positions he has shown the true ability and excellence of tho honest, faithful and competent public servant. In short, Mr. Stites has left no rec ord behind him that even his worst f»»e (if any, even one, he has) could hope or would dare tu attempt to as sail. Republicans and Democrats alike re gard him as an excellent man, in all respects, and every one of his political opponents who well know him, and who have lhe moral courage to scratch, will vote for Mr. Stiles. Aud very many good Republicans in old Linn have the manliness of character and independence of will to do the latter. .Mr. Stites is sure to go out of his home county with a good round majority ol votes. His opponent, Mr. Powell, is a sec tarian of the most earnest typ°, and one whose educational experience ha» always formed its course of develop ment in the capacity of teacher in sec tarian schools, in which the principles of the Northern M. IS Church were to be fostered and implanted in the minds of the youth as strongly and deeply as the principles of scientific knowledge. And if the desire is to direct the whole school interests of this great Stale in the same channel, Mr. Powell would be perhaps a fit instrument to at least attempt it. But if general diffusion of scientific knowledge—separate and apart from a mere special sectarian religious train ing, is the true object of our public schools, then every man in Oregon who so believes should see to it, that Mr. Stites, whose whole life nearly has been in duly preparing and thorough ly qualifying himself for a broad and faithful execution of tho high and no ble trust that must be held and exe cuted for every man, woman and child and all coming posterity in this State, should be placed in the position. And Linn county looks to all her sister counties to see that this duty is done, awd that the man she has so olten trusted and weighed in the just balances of her confidence and never found wanting, shall be duly honored as he so justly merits, and as she no less justly desires.

One of the faithful who is trying to get up a little enthusiasm for the Radi cal candidate for Congress, writes to the Statesman^» follows: Mr. Hines passes the Jeffersonian test, as he Is both honest ami capable The writer must have queer ideas of the Jeffersonian test. Is a man honest who committed a crime which merit ed and received punishment at the hands of his church? Hines was sus pended from the ministry lor one year for a disgraceful crime. Is it honest for a man to take the money to pay for a sewing machine for a brother minister of the Gospel, and then appropriate the money to his owfj u*e? Harvey K. Hines did this, and that brother minister will tell him so. Is a man honest Who Will mortgage a piece of property after having made a bona fide sale and deed of this prop erty to another man? Harvey K. Hines did this, and it is a matter of record at Eugene City. Is a man honest who will for two years keep and use (he salary of a lady teacher in the La Grande Semin ary, of which he has control, aud he knowing that the lady has been very much in need of the money? Harvey K. Hines did this, ami the lady will substantiate the truth of this statement. Is a ¡nan honest who will assert that he does not want a nomination and then obtain proxies and go to a conven tion and work to secure that nomina tion? Harvey K. Hines did this, and every member of that convention knows it. Is a man honest who will proclaim before a convention that he did not desire the candidacy for which that convention well knew that he had la bored, and then cantingly, if not blas phemously declare that above his in clination to decline the honor he heard “the voice of his God saying, ‘take it?’ ” Harvey K. llines did this. Is a man honest who after dedicat ing his life to the service of his Maker, and taking the solemn vows required of a minister of the Gospel, will vol untarily abandon his high calling and become a scheming, demHgoging pol itician? Harvey K. Hines has done this. If these things constitute an “bon est” man then we have been ignorant of the meaning of the word.— Mercury’ Of all the silly assertions of this cam paign the following, taken from one of the Republican organs—and which h •« oeen in substance altered by most of the journals of the party within the past few weeks—we think this is a lit tle the cheekiest: Mr. Beekman was nominated because ho is a clear-headed financier and will pay off the State debt. Pay off our State debt! O$ course! He will pay it out of his own pocket, we presume. Do these journals iiUHt* ine the people are so ignoraut, says lhe Salem Mercury, that they don’t know that the Governor of this State has no more to do with the finances of tlieSlate than any privatecitizen? He can neither create a debt for the Stat« nor pay one. The people know, if these journalists do not, that the legis lature makes all appropriations of mor* ey, and the Governor cannot ev< n stu disbursements are made according to the intent of the Legislature. This duty devolves upon the Secretary of State, and even he cannot do mor« than enforce the commands of the L- g- ii|ature. There has not been a disburse ment of money made since 1870 which was not ordered by a Legislature, and there can not lawfully bo an expenditure without such authority. How thou is a Governor to “pay off our State debt?’* These journals presume a great desl upon the ignorance of voters, but they go too far in this. Such assertions are mere political clap-trap, and will be so regarded by all sensible uieu. Spite Work. We see by the Willamette Valley papers that J. \V. Nesmith is working for the defeat of A. H. Brown, Demo cratic nominee for State Treasurer. Mr. Nesmith’s motto appears to bn rule or ruin, and when in 1876 lhe Democracy in the Legislature failed to elect him to the United States Senate, he trumped up tho charges against his successful competitor, Mr. Grover, which resulted in the appointment of a committee which came to this State to investigate the matter. Although a majority of that committee were Re publicans, it fully exonerated S *nator Grover. His attack upon Mr. Brown is prompted by a similar spirit of re venge. Fortunately Mr. Brown’s character is so far above that of IIon.(?) Nesmith, says the .SZar, that these charges will be accepted by the people Mitchell “ArkmiRaHNl.'’ for what they are worth—nothing.
