The representatives of the democratic party in convention assembled make the following declaration of principles and measures as their piauorm in tne present campaign: We declare our steadfast adhesion to the fun canicutul maxim of the democracv. viz: Gov ernuieut bv ihe peonle. honestly and economi cally adminir'icrcd, for the grcatott good to the f reatcst number."

We believe that all taxation ihould bo euual and just, that unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation , and that the wealth of a nation should bear its just pn portl n of the burdens of tr.e national Guvernn.ent, aud that we are In tavor ol uti income tux.

We 'relieve that tho pension ro'l should be one of honor, and we favor liberal pensions to soldiers disabled in the s tvlce of our country.

Address. a. F. Jones, Toledo, Or- May 17, 1894. Commuiiicated. Editor Leader: Will you kindly give me a little space m your next issue for the purpose of replying to an article in this week's rauer. ariiertaiuino- to . . . the distribution of the school funds? You frankly state in said article "The Leadkr has no desire to misrepresent or mislead any one, etc," and that is both manly and just. It is a well settled aud universal accepted maxim in jurjprudence that the law does not require im possibilities of any person, and such being the case, how cau a school superintendent make a pro ratadi tribution before he first complies with the law,' aud appropriates $50 to each district as he is absolutely required to first do by Section 23 of the Oregon School Act? The opinion as expressed by our state superintendent in his recent letter to Mr. Booth is decidedly in harmony with the policy that he Mr. Booth is pursuing and, it I am not misinformed, our county court has also heretofore so advis ed. As has been said, were the mor.ey distributed before the sever al districts received their $50 bor.us, a very few districts some three or four, at most would get the lion's share, and the weak outlaying dis tricts, per consequence, would suf fer, if not perish altogether. And such being the case the policy adopted by Mr. JJ00U1 i.s nusi as suredly the only true and j nut one. Further: If any "borrowing" of the school funds has been done, the receipts of the several school treasurers, and the county treasurer will conclusively prcve that Mr, Booth, at least, is not the lender, Having served in Minnesota as county school superintendent for eleven years, and having been identified with the school and other interests of the vicinage for a num ber ot years, and we believe that his character for piobity and hon esty has, as yet, never been ques tioned, we feel it our duty as a per fectly disinterested party, to ask that justice be done him in this matter. To conclude. As was said by an influential county official to us this morning, "such published statements are calculated to injure Toledo and the entire comity in the mind of prospective immigrants, and for that reason I wish to set the matter in dispute before the public in such a manner that it will wot subject innocent and conscien tious persons to unjust criticism. Very truly yours, S. T. Adams. Nevvpoit, Ore., May 12, 1894. For the benefit of Mr. Adams, and any others of like mind, we will say that no attack was made or intended upon Mr. Booth, or anyone else. The point we make is this: There was a balance of school funds on hand on August 23, 1893, that should have been apportioned pro rata to the districts according to their population. This was not done. If Mr. Booth w as not notified of the balance by tLv county treasurer then the latter aii( not Mr, Booth was to blame. Vewould further call Mr. Adams' attenti 'on to the fact that the August apportionment applies to the count v funds as well as to the state funds.- As for the demagogic argument ot ' Mr. Adams that the small districts would perish, it is entirely out of .Mace. No one ever questioned tho jight of each dis trict to first receive $50 each. But what Mr. Bcolh and the other county officers did lrst year was to apportion only $50 to each district and have cairied the remainder of the county school fund over into this year for another $50 apportion ment. The result of that was that the large distiicts were beaten out of their fair share of the 1893 cbool fund after the 5 was ap portioned , His last fitatement, It at "such published statements are calculated to injure Toledo and the entire county in the mindu of prospective ImmiKrants" is the most object oonnense, even if an "influential county official" t'id tell him so, PrrrTians. the influential official knows w by the funds have been held back so ljug, and if such ac tions against our school funds have i r. i ii' . IO ue KeI;c lroul lIle puouc m oraer j t0 induce immigration then we had , better quit. But the Leader in- tends to stand for the schools and honest county government, and trust to our resources to secure the immigration. Death of John Fitzpatrick. The death of Mr. John Fitzpat rick, of which mention was made in last week's issue, occurred at St. Vincent's hospital on May 9, at 3 o'clock p. id. Mr. Fitzpatrick was a prominent and well known fisherman of the lower Columbia, and was also the owner of con siderable property in Lincoln coun ty, among which was the popular Hotel Monterey, on Big Creek, near Cape Foulweather. Pneu monia, which he contracted on a trip down the river a few days ago, was the cause of his death. Mr. Fitzpatrick was a veteran of the Mexican war, and was a member which arrived in California in 1849. He came to Oregon late in the '50s, and from the time of his arrival un til his death was engaged in fishing He leaves a wife and eight children, who are residing at pres ent at the Hotel Montery, in this county. Mr. Fitzpatrick's death removes and active and industrious man and is. peculiarly unfortunate to Lin coln county, as he has had several projects in contemplation which would have materially developed our resources and thereby bene fitted our people. Among these were the establishing of a cannery and saw mill on the Siletz, the initiatory steps looking to which, we are informed, have already been taken. What effect his death will have upon these enterprises is not known. Mr. Fitzpatrick was a Mexican war veteran, being an able r-eaman on board the warship Ohio in 1846, when she was dispatched to Mexican waters to assist General Taylor in the capture of Monterey. It was in honor of this famous victory that Mr. Fitzpatrick gave the uame to his hotel on Big Creek. The funeral took place from St. Patrick's church, Portland, last Saturday morning, and was attend ed by a body of Mexican war vet erans, . Come To The Scratch. Tlie Newport News lias been terribly worried about the politics of the Leader, and goes out of its way to call it a populist. Now we have three dares to make the News: We dare you to point lo a single utterance the Leader has ever made thtt would lead a man with a thimble full of brains to suppose that it was populistic, or name a single populist candidate the LEAD ER is now, or its editor ever has supported, director indirect. We dare you to deny that while the News has the name of F. M. Stanton in its ticket for sheriff, that now and for the past year the editor of the News and his entire voting family have been doing all in their power to aid and help Geo. A. Landis lo the electiou of sheriff. Wc dare yet to deny that you are doing everything you can in a sneaking underhand way to defeat George Bethcrs for school superin tendent simply because your pet did not get the nomination. You are a pretty sort of a mud cat to be calling other people names. Don't he a traitor. Come out openly for Landis and Skinner or quit throwing off on Stanton and Bethers. - Changed Its Mind. The Salem Statesman is whoop ing it up for the Rev. G. M. Irwin, republican candidate for state sup erintendent. It is interesting to read that paper's statement of less than six months ago. It is as fol lows: "The leather medal that an appreciative public failed to bestow upon the Oregon delegation when they had the Rev Geewholliper Mutton-head Irwin appointed sup erintendent of the Chemawaludian school, would be appropriately con ferred if they would hasten the ap pointment of a competent man to take bis place." Number 11. Some Good Suggestions. The committee of one hundred taxpayers, of Portland, recently re ported the result of their labors to the people of Portland. Among' the pertinent suggestions as to needed legislation we find the fol lowing, which we heartily endorse: ' Law compelling all banks to pub lish anuually list of names and re spective amounts of depositors who have deposits standing in their names for 10 years or over. Amend school-bond laws, so that the directors shall sell bonds only after advertisement for bids, and then only to highest bidder. Taxes to be paid in two or more installments. Abolish fees of sheriff and dis trict attorney, and provide for fixed salary. ' Abolish criruiinal jurisdiction of justices of the peace in cities hav ing a police or city judge. Abolish state board of equaliza tion. .., ... The enactment of a banking law, providing for state inspection and examination of banks arid bankers, and providing for the publication and statements of the same as they existed on past dates. Ben Jones is one of the most enterprising men of Lincoln county. He never makes a dollar but that he puts into some entei prise for the good of Yaquina Bay. We don't believe that there is or has been a public enterprise on the Bay since he has beeti -a resident that Ben's hands have not helped in some way. He is accommodating, clever, hotl'-. est and competent, and the people of- Lincoln county will see to it that he is kept for another two years in the clerk's office. Wc arc informed that there are some who are under the impression that the Leader has stated that Mr. Booth, the county school super intendent, made no distribution of the state school fund in 1893. We would say that the recent articles In the Leader with-reference to the school funds referred only to county school funds, as has been plainly stated in each article. There was a slate apportionment of 70 cents per scholar in August 1893 and another in December, of a like amount. 1 . A voter cast for Lee Wade for sheriff is a vote for an honest, in telligent and capable man. His election would bring to the office of sheriff a man that is fully qualified to perform the many and arduous duties that attach to it. He is a man that is in every way worthy of the suffrages of the people of Lin coln county. . R. A, Stratford is a farmer aud Stockraiser near Yaquina. He is a heavy property owner and is In terested in the County as a tax payer. He has ma 1e a success of his own business and will be commissioner that the county will fell proud of should he be elected. 1 Just what Lincoln county needs now is Marsh Simpson's clear and conservative business head in the county judge's office. He would see that there would be 9oma wholesome lopping off of needless expenses. ----- With Simpson, Stratford and Scbimmel as a county court there would be no twenty day sessions with a job at the end of it. The business would be expedited and the expenses would be cut down. All business would be a matter of record also. Notice for Sealed Bids. , The city recorder of the City of Tqledo, will receive sealed bids for the erection of a city jail until 4 o'clock p. m. May 17, 1804. Plans and specifications may be seen at the office of the city re corder. The council reserves the right to reject any or all bids. J. A. Hall, L. S. " City Recorder. MEAT.
