The defeat of the ring is a foregone
conclusion. The people of this county
are not such dolts as the ring thought
they were. They do not feel anxious
to be skinned any more. Others may
like to give business to taxidermists but
the peoplo of Columbia county are not
of that kind They have tasted the
oppression of the ring enough to knew
what it is. It thought we would make
a little spirt of a fight, and then simmer
down and that would be the last of it,
but it is not so, we have fired the heart
of the county. Even numerous ladies
have told us they wished they could
vote for us. To Republicans we would
say, we do not wish to overthrow any of
your cherished doctrines or ideas. We
lelieve in every man's privilege to inter
pret his political doctrines as he chooses.
And we would say the same to Demo
crats., we mean to overthrow no party,
w stand on ground common to all. Our
Vji&e trine is a financial one. We wish to
:eep the county from being robbed by
the ring. We shall nave no partiality
.or party in the-d ministration of affairs,
should we be elected: we should treat
Democrats and Rerjublicans alike. We
should not fed bound to do anything
4b majority of the jen in the county
.would disapprove Even handed justice
to all would be our policy. If we should
imitate -anybody, it would be Judge
Pope who for so many years ably ad
ministered County affair We should
be opposed to involving the County in
expenses which would require heavy tax
ation. We should encourage all legiti
mate business, but sharp practice on the
County funds we should reprobate.
We have understood the ring is traduc
ing us in every way and shape. Their
venom is spit out on every occasion, but
they cannot harm us, we have nearly
the whole country to back us. The
most of the people feel as we do, only
more so. The soreness has pervaded
every nook and corner of the County.
It is useless for the ring to deny its ex
istence. Its tools it expects to pay for
its support. The ring does not support
Moore, Conyers, Wilkes Sra, merely out
ef patriotism. Its creed is Dollars. It
is the golden image Nebuchadnezzar
Muckle has set op He may go to grass,
the intention is the same, though he may
fail in execution. The spirit is willing
though the flesh may be weak. Let ev
ery one that is a friend work for us.
Let nothing be 'lost by carelessness or
inattention.- The ring once broken, it
can never Ik mended. We have fought
courageously no one will deny. Our en
emies cannot deny our bravery and
spirit. We .have trusted in God and
kept our powder dry. It is the spirit
of '76 revived. The same spirit made
Boston harbor a huge teapot.
Democrat or Republican need not
hesitate to vote for us. We shall wrong
no man, we shall defraud no man. Old
man Muckle said we were capable of
filling the highest offices, but he would
not trust -ft. Where have we 1 strayed
any one t Where have wo been guilty
of fraud t Whom have we lictraved ?
We have been justice of the peace hard
on to ten years, and only two of our deci
sions have leen reversed in a higher
court. One was the cane of Oke Olson
vs. David Cloninger, the other was John
Campbell vs. tbo County. In the first
case Oke Olson virtually testified exactly
opposite in the Circuit Court to what he
did in the Justices Court, and gave him
self and hi case away. In the hist ease
every lawyer present in the court said
the Judge gave an incorrect decision,
and if t the casehad been appealed, the
Supreme Court would have re-attirmed
our decision; T. A. McBride, one of tl.
lest judges of law in Oregon, told us so
as long ago as at the time, and will not
deny it. We came from N. H. in 1866,
the Governor of that State said in his
recommendation, we still retain, we were
capable of filling any office no matter how
high. When we were appointed Lieut
enant in the old Second N. H. Regt.
General Joseph Burnham, First Select
man of Durham, N. H. and one of the
leading men in N. H. and a Democrat,
wrote to the Governor unbeknown to us
or any of our relatives that we were the
best scholar ever raised in the town of
Durham and that that town was as
proud of us as of anylody that ever
went forth from her midst and this
when she had furnished such men as
Colonel Winburn Adams who fell gal
lently fighting at the head of his Regi
ment in the battle of Stillwater in the
Revolutionary War. Our politics and
the Governor's to whom General Burn
ham wrote were opposite to his. Let
any Oregonian go back to our record in
the States, and they will find one of
which our descendants may be proud.
J. D. Cooper, Major of Second N. H.
Regiment, says in his report of Gettys
burg battle: " At the battle of Gettys
burg July 2nd, 1863, three hundred and
thirty one officers and men went into
the fight. The Regiment lost two hun
dred and five. Out of 23 officers 21
were killed or wounded Lieut. E
G. Adams and Lieut Hay ward were the
only two officers not killed or wounded.
Our men fought like tigers' This is a
part of our history. No wonder we feel
stung sometimes by being treated with
contumely oy such things as make up
the St Helen ring. Such a man as
Pomeroy who lay round the sink-holes
of Vancouver as a soldier, says " we
don't want Major Adams, we cannot
control him, he has a head of his own !"
Put our record along side of such men
as the ring holds up, and it shines like
pure gold beside their corruption and in
feriority of character and mind. The
people of Columbia Co. don't want to
send a boy to mill when they have men.
Ts there any noble-hearted man who will
not give us his support since we have
waged so noble a fight. Is the love of
justice dead ? Do you want your tide
lands jumped 1 Do you want your farms
sold on execution tor exorbitant taxes 1
Do you wish your families turned ot t
shoe)ew hihI almost nuked to face the
wiiitry blast? j Then ote for the ring.
They, will sweat every drop of. fat out of
you. They want . fine things, but want
to get them by .sharp practice. They
want to make you and your children
Chinamen, and they mean it Trust
them and they will starve or freeze you
out.
Conyers started in on us because we
allowed J. W. Campbell to give public
expression to his wrongs in our paper.
We simply showed him common human
ity, something that warrants us in wear
ing the human face divine instead of the
monkey faces the most of the ring wear;
and when the case came before J udge
Sawyer, he dismissed it as a malicious
prosecution. ' We would ask one ques
tion o the candid public, " Who showed
the mast common seuse and nicest sense
of honor in this affair Conyers or our
selves V We do not wish to oppress any
man wrongfully. -We wish to accord
to others the rights we demand for
ourselves. Let justice be done if the
heaven falls, j When a person oversteps
the 1 wounds of justice he commits a wrong
not only on jone person but the whole
community, j It lecomes a personal mat
ter to every one. If one man can be op
pressed, another can, and who can tell
but he himself may be the next victim.
The ring held a conclave Wednesday,
and after tiking lots of physic, all they
could get through them was to get us to
lack down. Con vers savs, Get some
l)ody to tell him that all the Democrats
intend to play him. It won't do for any
of us to tell
lieve a d d
word we say," which was
uttered if he never utters
one truth he
another. "Get some one he is friendly
with to tell j him." Brother Conyers,
your machinations are exceedingly thin.
We have! nothing personally to do
with the Gazelle. Capt Hez. Caples
merely put an advertisement in our pa
per, so Jim Muckle and his myrmidons
need not spit their spite out on the Ga
Zfll. Perhaps Jim is mad because he
did not get her when she w.is sold. We
don't knoA- anvthtng alout it, and care
less. The hont is in good condition and
will be in trim to take the Muckle ring
up Salt River on Election dav.
; 1 . .
Tim -people around Rainier are dis
gusted W think such a half-witted brag
gadocio as Pomeroy should tell around
Oregon he ; could influence any votes.
Lotk at his idiotic face, and listen to
his voice like a cracked cow-bell tortur
ing the ear of the milkmaid. He could
n't control a dog, unless he put some
Li m burger cheese in his boot-heel, and
then the natural smell would neutralize
the Limburger.
The people in the outskirts of the
county must not be fooled by the letters
written from headquarters of the ring at
St Helen, j They are' stuffed full of lies.
Shake them well lfore reading, as they
may be lousy. We saw Pomeroy scratch
his head. He said there was nothing in
it Fine-tooth combs won't lie.
Our Editorial last week was hardly
up to the reality. Things are lietter
than our anticipations. The St. Helen
ring is dumbfounded to think we should
have fought it single-handed, and
whipped it out It has lost its jubilant,
domineering look, and finds somelxxiy
else in the world except itself.
Jim Muckle is down on Irishmen, at
least he has always expressed himself
that way. Irishmen, remember this'
when you go to the polls, and don't up
hold the St Helen ring, who would
treat you just as Englishmen, treat
Irishmen in Ireland.
j
Conyers said it wo'a'tdn't do for them
to buy arijt'uing of Lemont or George
HctJride as the Muckles would be mad,
and wouldn't give them any work. He
didn't state what kind of work it was,
whether it was. dirty work or not
j m 1
The rinj: conclave went to Portland,
and stopped at the St Charles. Pome
roy got very full, and Moore too-too
from smelling Pomeroy's breath.
Oh ign't it hell
Their smile and their smell?
We shall soon publish how a county
official beat the county out of $50 or so
by sharp practice, and recovered besides
a boat in which to go up Salt River, and
all this by manipulating a crazy mr.
We shall not back down, we have too
good a thing. Victory is. in the air.
The huzzas of the ringsmashers and the
wail of the smashed till the jubilant at

Correspondence.
Ranier, Ogs. May 25. 4
Ed. Columbia; I am publicly in
formed that M. Pomeroy has stated in
St Helen he controls the votes of this
Precinct and that there are three or four
voters who talk of voting for Maj. Ad
ams for Judge, but he would fix "
them when he came back to Rainier,
and would see that they voted for F. A.
Moore. Now this statement coming
from a timler-thief like Poaieroy, who
is simply a tool for designing men, casts
a slur and an insult on the honest and
intelligent voters of this Precinct. There
are many here who simply tolerate his
impudence and egotism through pity for
his ignorance. He is generally consid
ered and looked upon by people here as
a poor simple half-witted creature and
and what he says as unworthy of notice;
instead of only three or four voting for
Maj. Adams, he will poll a heavy vote
here, the statement of such men as
Pomeroy to the contrary notwithstand
ing. The voters of this Precinct are de
ter uined to vote for men to fill the Co.
offices who are owned by no clique or
ring such as does and has existed in St
Helen for years. Business in Rainier
is uncommonly brisk at present The
fishing season has started in full blast.
Wishing you success, I remain,
Vekitas.
The following is auextract from a let
of J. R. Frierson'??.
I, like you, claim direct descent from
the Mayflower stock on mother's side
and on my father's from the Scotch Irish
who came with Raleigh in 1607. Like
yourself there has lieen 'no war since
then in which our family have not taken
a part, and as you did in '61 so did I,
yet now we must take a back seat and
tarve while those who made money
while we were at the front now fill all
the Government places, and curse and
denounce all soldiers who will not blind
ly folio wtheir orders, and there are, 1
am ashamed to have it to say, home sol
diers who for the sake of position, will
herd with these wretches and who will,
and do, unite in denouncing men whom
they ktiowvwere good and true soldiers
and served in the field.
Rainier, May 23rd, 1882.
Well, Major, siirce the issue of your
last paper the feelings of the people are
much excite, not but what the man
that was nominated for judge is a gen
tleman by birth and education and high
ly competent for the position, but for all
that, we think if you put your shoulder
to the wheel with the help there is a
waiting your effort, we can do it inde
pendent of the ring.

Mu
ch apprehension has been occa-
sione
throughout America from the an
nouncement made by Professor Proctor
that t
le return in nineteen years of the
great
comet of last summer will cause
the destruction of the earth. But whih
peopl
are. Upcoming so strangely exer
cised over this announcement, an event
of far more serious importance, which is
taking place to-day, seems to be' almost
wholly overlooked. The nature of j this
most vital subject can le lest explained
by relating the following" experiences :
Bishop E. O. Haven, known to the
entirt- land, was unaccountably awak
ened one night- out of sleep, and lay
awake until morning.' His mind seemed
unustally active, and he not only re
viewed his past life, which had 1een an
event ;ul one, but laid extensive plans
for the future. He did not feel espec
ially ill, but could not account for the
unusi al activity of his bnin, nor for the
restlessness which seemed to possess him.
But try as he would the shadow of some
evil s?emed to follow him, and he was
conscious of a gradual sinking and wast
ing away of all his physical faculties.
He had lecn an earnest and diligent
worker, and in his zeal frequently1 over
tax ec his htreugth, and. leing ahsor1ed
in his duties failed to observe the common
symptoms with which he was afflicted,
thus permitting the work of destruction
to go on unheeded. But the end finally
came in a most peremptory manner.
Shortly lefore his death lie wrote a let
ter the last one he ever indited in which
he speaks as follows : ' A belief that
death is near affects different minds dif
ferently, but probably all who are in a
fair condition of physical and mental
strength instinctively shrink from it
with an undefinable 'dread and horror.
A dying man is no more able of himself
to foresee his own destiny or the destiny
of those he leaves than he was liefore he
bega:i to die." !
The recent sad and sudden death of
Hon. Clarksou N. Potter is one of the
most serious warnings ever given in the
long list of innumerable cases of fatal
neglect It is not sullicent to say that
many other brilliant men, including Ev
erett, Sumner, Chase, Wood, Wilson,
and Uarpeiiter, were swept away by the
same fatal trouble. The question is,
were these men sufficiently careful of
their health, and could thy have leen
saveil ? The -Albany .(r', in speaking
of y r. Potter's sudden illness and death,
says : '
'Oneof the physieaus who attended
M
otter here was lntervi-rw.M l;st eve-
unit
He stated tjiat Mr. Potter's inrt-
bihty to converse had for some time
served to laffle the physicians in their
efforts to determine the root of the ill
ness It seems, however, that Mr. Pot
ter, Mime two years ago, suffered a slight
attack of kidney disease. Unwise de
pendence upon a robust constitution and
naturally perfect health, and neglect of
proper clothing, doubtless sowed the
seeds of a disease that needed but some
susli personal neglect as that of Tuesday
morning to develop. From the symp
toms at tirst shown, it was thought that
his only trouble was nervous pros ration;
but his,lontr continuance in a semi-un-con
scions state led to the belief that his
illness was seated in a chronic difficulty
more serious and dang ;roui. .
Up to the latter part of last year Mr.
Ed vard h Rook, a memler of the New
Yo rk stock exchange, was doing busi
nesi in Wall street, New York. He
hac everything to encourage him, and
make life happy, but was the victim of
unaccountable uneasiness. His experi
ence! as descrilied by one who knew, was I
as follows : 44 At unexpected time" a
on
occasions when he had
en r.i hwl "
reason tg fec-i ;-yotls fce Wfts irritable
aud nauv.j Wltn Grange feelings of
'i'u content He endeavored to check
those feelings and appear pleasant, but
it required a great effort to do so ; af
ter which he would again relapse into
hi; i former morbid mood. This feeling
continued for a numler of months, when
he became conscious of an added sensa
tion of lassitude He was tired even
when resting, and although experiencing
no acute pain, had dull, aching sensa
tion in his limbs and various parts of
his body. Shortly afterward his bead
began to ache most frequently and his
stomach failed to digest properly. Be
in 5 told that he was suffering from nTa
la ria he consulted an eminent physician,
w 10 informed him that his kidneys were
slightly affected, and gave him medicine
to restore them. But ho grew worsa
instead of better, He then consulted
otlher eminent doctors of another school
and was informed that he had a brain
difficulty somewhat in the nature of a
tumor, but in spite of all efforts to the
contrary he continued to grow worse.
Alt this time his condition was terrible.
What were at first simple symptoms had
developed to terrible troubles. He was
flushed and feverish, constantly uneasy,
aAd yet always weary. He had an in
tense appetite one day and very little
tl e next His pulse was irregular, his
breathing labored, and every moment of
existence was a burden. These disas
trous symptoms continued, his lody be
came discolored, his heart was irregular
ill its action, and his breath came i'l
short convulsive gasp.i He grew con
stantly worse, 'notwithstanding the. ut
nUst precautions of his friends and fi
1?
nally died iii the greatest agony. After
h is death an e.viiuiu ition as to its act
ual eaue was mad- when li.s bruin mm-
found to be in a perfect roiulit im, and
t'le reason of bis dece.isi wi.s of s:n 'en
tirely di!lcrcut nature."
The experi, nees wlii- Ji iiiic been
cited a'ov all hrtd a cnn-inon aiise and
were'eaeji the ivstllt of ne ilise;'s 'I l.ab
disease, which so deceitfully, yet mi rely
removed: the people nhve inent ioned
was Brivjhr's disease of the kidneys. In
the east of .Mr. Rook th r examination
after death, while show ing the brain to
Ix'in perfect condition, reve.iled the ter
rible f.n-t that he was the victim i a
slight kidney trouble, which had gone
on unchecked, until it resulted in acute
Bright's disease. The leading physi
cians and scientists of the world aiefust
learning, that more than one half the
deaths which occur are caused by this
monstrous scourge. It is one of the
most deceitful maladies ever known to
the human race. It manifests itself by
symptoms so slight and common, as to
seem unworthy of attention ; and yet
these very insignificant symptoms are
the first stages of the worst complaint
known in the history of the world.
Thousands of people hive died1 from
troubles that an called heart disease,
apoplexy, pneumonia, brain fever, and
similar diseases, when it was, in fict
Bright's disease of the kidneys. The.
ravages of this disease have leen great
ly increased from the fact that un il re
cent years no way was known to prevent
its !egiiiuing nor check its increase when
it had Ih'couip once fixed upon the sys
tem. Within the past two years, how
ever, we have learned of more than four
hundred pronounced wises of Bright'.-
disease, many of thm much worse thau
thoso a 1 Hive described, and most of
whom had bvn given up by prominent
physicians, . who have len complete!,
cured. The means used to accomplish
this end has leeu Warner's Safe Kidney
ami Liver (Jure, iiianuf u-tured in Roch
ester, N. Y., a renndv that has won
its way into the coufl-i of th. puMi
solely upon the remarkable merits it
posst sses. As a result, it is mom
widely used and thoroughly praised
than any medicine which has ever leeu
lwfore the American public Indeed
there is not a drug stor. in the entire
land where it can Ik found.
Although Bright's disea.no is as com
mon in cities, it is still more prevalent
m the country. When eminent physi
cians in the largest cities are not able to
recognize Bright's disease, it is only nat
ural that in the country, where there
are few physicians of any kind, and
those few so unacquaintd with the dis
ease as to call it bv some other uau.e, it
should rage terribly usid yet unknown
to the ones who ar stiT ring v i'h it.
Thousands of people can look back an I
recall the death of friend trom whit
was supposed to Ik Nome common com
plaint, when it was really Bright's dis
ease, and no o.nk KNir.v it.' Tie terri
ble pleuro-pneumom.', which has been
so dreaded, is usually the result of ure
mic or kidney visou. Lung fever c.mi
be traced to the similar source. Moi
cases of paralysis arise from the difficul
ty, as well as enumerable fevers, lung,
throat, head and bowel troubles. A
vast nuiulier of ladies have suffered and
died from complaints common. to their
sex called, jK'rhaps, general debility,
when, could the real cause have I wen
known, it would have been found to be
Hright's disease, m.isquerading under
another name. In marked contrast to
the sad cases which have been above
descrilnd are the experiences of many
prominent people who were as low as
any of the persons mentioned, but who
were remarkably restored to former
health and vigor by this same remedy.
