CITY ELECTION.
While it may be considered a
little early for the discussion of an
event nearly two months distant,
yet in the opinion of this paper a
few words now are not out of place.
The people of Heppner should be
interested in good government and,
we take it, that such is the case.
The Gazette goes on the princi
ple that if you have a good servant,
keep him. If you elect a good offi
cer, retain him. Especially Bhould
this be the guiding star in munic
ipal politics, and people aie not
to be condemned for applying this
principle in the solution of more
prominent political problems,
though it may be in direct violation
of party ethics. But let this be as it
may, certainly non-partisan gov
ernment of towns and cities is best.
mi n i
men ine party macnine nas a
chance to rest, better officers are
to be bad because there can be no
duty to party, only a strict concern
for the people's welfare. It is the
party machine in a municipality
that levies tribute ou gambling
places and houses of ill-repute; on
Chinese lotteries and "sure-thing"
concerns. Remove hard politics
from control in these cases and
there is no use for a "sack."
The Oregonian maintained this
when Simon was downed and
Mayor Mason elected mayor of
Portland, on a non-partisan ticket,
and though it is now allied with
"the forces of corruption," as it
termed them in that memorable
contest, the truths spoken remain
just the same. If corruption is
present in the administration of
Portland's affairs at present, it can
be no worse than that of the Simon
regime, taking the testimony of the
Oregonian as a guide. ..Both are
the result of party machine poli
tics.
The management of Heppner
for the past year has been en
trusted to non-partisan hands
Party matters have never crept in
to the town's affairs, and we hope
enough truths have been told in
this brief article to . deter any o:
our people from permitting it
While Heppner's officers are but
human, and while the people have
sometimes complained Christ was
railed at yet all in all they have
done good work. The floating in
(lobtednosp of Ileppner is alraos
wiped out, and this alone is
splendid recommendation. En
courage the retiring officers to re
main whore they are. The Gazette
believes that the business element
will endorse them.
Tub activity in certain quarters
in efforts to make the publio be
hove that there is some doubt
about the annexation of Hawaii
indicates that some money is being
spent for the purpose of creating
anti-annexation seutimout If so,
it is boing thrown away, as annex
ation is absolutely sure to come
before the close of this session o
congress. Two-thirds of the sonate
are ready at any time to voto for
the ratification of the annexation
treaty, but the rules of the senate
put it in the power of the oppo
nentsnot more than twenty at
the outside to delay the vote.
Should it become apparent that
this power is being used for fil
bUHteiing purposes, annexation
will be secured by legislation,
which will ouly need a majority
vote.
In addition to Retting a first
class man to fill the important po
sition of attorney general, pretti
dent McKinley's choice of Clov.
John W. Griggs, of N. J., to fill
the vacancy in the cabiust that
will be made by the nomination of
Attorney General McKenna to
uccml Justice Field, who retired
from the U. 8. supreme court last
week, after having served there
longer than any of his predeces
sors, is considered to l a good
political move one that will aid
materially in keeping New Jersey
in the republican column, and th
winli ! general that Gov. Griggs
will accept tun tendered portfolio,
Mcnninr, of Oregon, presented
and asked for immediate consider,
ation of a resolution for relief of
the American miners and other
sufferers in th valley of the Yu
kon and its triboUrina, th other
day in tbe senate. Tbe resolution
authorizes tha secretary of war to
transport supplies to tha snfiVreis
and provide that no mnr 4kao
f 'i-iO,(X)0 t applied to carry out
th pnrjx of tb resolution.
Fitzsimmons eays that he will
fight Corbett again if his wife
gives consent
The Harney Valley - Items has
come out wonderfully improved
and enlarged. Success to it
Oregon produces the past year
$5,000,000 in gold. This beats the
Klondike with its $3,500,000.
The Gazette is under obligations
to Hon. Harrison R. Kincaid, sec
retary of state, for a copy of the
election laws of the United States
and of the state of Oregon.
The Oregonian is publishing
eight pages of sheriff's tax sales
at 40 cents per line, five insertions.
How is that price, ye advertisers
who grumble at decent rates?
Ex-Govebnor John Whittaker,
of Eugene, is very ill from paraly
sis. Mr. Whittaker served - one
term as governor and represented
the state two terms in congress.
R. R. Hays, of Tillamook, a well
known republican politician, died
ast Monday of pneumonia, He
was one of the officers of the Ben
son house of the last legislature.
Politics is beginning to warm
up all over the state. At present
tlje contest is not between the re
publicans and opposition, but be
tween two republican factious. It
is Simonism or no Bimanism.
The Gazette will . remind a
young man of. Lexington who
wields a facile pen that this paper
pays for its own sample copies,
and that this job could be done a
great deal easier if tbose who owe
this paper would "dig up".
Tbe Corvallis Gazette was asked
if it would "bolt" Lord if renoml
nated for governor. The Gazette
answered that principles were
greater than men and that though
his nomination would be unwise,
yet the Gazette would support him
as a republican.
Toe great sympathy felt for the
bereavemeut of President McKin-
ley tinged the assembling of con
gress with unusual Badness, which
not even the great interest felt in
the strong message of the presi
dent could dissipate. There were
the usual crowds iu the galleries
of both house and senate, but the
sorrow expressed in the faces of
senators and representatives was
reflected in the faces of the visit
ors above them. There is some
thing in the death of one's mother
that appeals to the sympathies of
others as does tho death of no
other relative.
In our schoolboy days our great
histories told ut that tho great
'pathfinder" was John C. Free
tuout; that Marcus Whitman
saved Oregon. It took several
goueratious to discover that neither
of them did anything worth men.
tioninge, xcept that Preetnout
married Jessie lleuton and that
Whitman was foolish enough to
got scalped by a savage. It is re
freshing to have these downy-faced
pioueers who were not thought of
in tho 40' s to regale one with true
history, aud to find that the heroes
of childhood were but the creation
of tho fertile braius of our grand
fathers. Worn Out?

A HENIOUS AND BRUT
AL CRIME.
The Jury Returned a Verdict
on Last Saturday Morning
at 4 O'clock Attorney
Cleeton's Dramatic Argu
ment.
Tbe sensational Waoblin marder case,
of Washington county, came to an end
Saturday morning at Hillsboro, tbe
oounty seat, ami I some of the most
dramatic eoenei that were ever seen in
an Oregon court, aaye tbe Portland Tele
gram. A verdict of marder in tbe first
degreo win agreed npon b thf jary, and
it was reported at 4 o'clook tbis morn
ing. Tbe jurors did not feel like resting till
a oonventiooal daylight hour to pro
nonnoe the oold-blooded murderer's fate.
At 3:30 Judge MoBride was aronsed
from a deep sleep into wbiob be bad fal
len after a most exbansting session.
He came to the court room and tbe mur
derer's decree was read "Guilty."
Gas Waoblin, the prisoner, -received
tbe announcement in a stocial manner.
II was evidently hardened to it,' In
tuition would bave told an intelligent
man after the scenes at tbe conclusion
of tbe trial Inst night that be would be
convioted. The remarkable speech to
tbe jury of District Attorney T. J, Clee
ton was one which members of tbe Port
land bar declare gave tbe new prose
outor of that district a reputation.
Tbe jury went out at a quarter before
10 o'olook. The members were of one
mind on tbe question of guilt, but par
leyed on tbe degree. A thousand ex
cited people stood around tbe corridors,
on tbe steps, tbe stairways and io tbe
courtroom trying to get as near as pos
sible to see and bear. Tbe trial of
Waoblin bad been on sinoe Wednesday
morning and night sessions were held.
District Attorney Oleeton had one
point to combat that afleoted tbe jury.
It waa tbe question as to whether John
B. Ledrick, the ranober, of Cornelias
tbe murdered man bad been killed by
another man, an anoient enemy. That
was the defense's strongest claim. Tbia
ancient enemy's name is Buck, and be
was known to bave bad trouble with
Ledriok. But Oleeton did more than
destroy the doubt raised by the pooni-
Diiny or uncki enmity, lie made a
speeob that brought tbe packed oonrt
roora to its feet. lie painted a word
picture to the jury that stirred tbe deep
est sympathies.
Aa be went on telling of the cowardly
slaying of Kanoher Ledriok, women tn
tbe audienoe began to weep hysterical
ly, regardless of tbe balifTi Injunctions.
Tbe spirit of tbe oratory took hold of
tbe intensely interested crowd, and it
came near asking a wholesale demon
stration. It was a masterly fTrt, and
such a one as would sway a jury bad the
burdea of proof Iteen on tbe state.
Tbe Oermao colony near Cornelius, in
Washington eoanty, from wbicb Gas
Wacblin, tbe convioted niu, oame, bad
promised that it tha murderer esosped
tha gallows through tha faolt of the law
there would immediately be lynching.
Tbey deolared Wachlin should not get
out ot tha oounty alive.
It is probable that Waoblin will bang
for bis crime without a try in tbe
supreme oonrt. Messrs. Hauler A
Brown, of Dillsboro, defeoded tba pris
oner In an able manner. Dittriot At
torney Cleeton was assisted by 8. B.
Huston.
Waoblin deliberately and calmly pre
meditated the marder of John Ledriok,
tbe Cornelias rauoher. II said be
ouKI do it months before be brought it
to aroomplishment. He taw a way to
make a stake wbila yet be was a convict
io tba Oregon penitKutmry In 1W4. Io
tbe solitude of the prison cell be plannml
the best way to get oat of Ibis eouotryi
where be bad been an noforlaosla.
IU would get out of tbe "pen" fin I.
Then lie woalJ go bok to Washington
oounty. lie knew a raoehtr old man
Ledriok who baJ a standing gradf
with one Back. H'd kill Ledrick and
be'd blame it oa Buok.
Thus was t"M tbe story of the pre
meditated crime by one Hohmelir, a
fellow ennvioi Tbe prianaer eon l.l not
keep his eeerrl In eonfliement like that
of a prison, where the dreary round of
drudge almiwl kills the soul of a man.
He waa in for stealiag a -. Sohmell-
ter ea bis eelimsta.
"If I go to tha rwo for stealing that
darned old Mt," Wrehlin said wben oa
biawaytotbe o that tint, "I'll fit
that old man IlrU s. got a slaaV sod
lay It oi to Buck."
But the marderoaa aobeme of the
block-bratued criminal failed.
Ilia strahag of a row was lather a
bumorua scheme. Il sold the meat f

be named himself Hansen. He sold the
borses and wagon, told story of going
to a dying mother, and then disap
peared.
Tbe murderer pretty effectually cov
ered his traoka for a oouple of years.
Last September be was caaght by Sher
iff Matlock in Morrow county. He gave
bis name as Harry A. Brown.
All Washington county was aroused
over Ledriok's killing. Although he had
had trouble with bis neighbors end peo
ple were at first molined to suspeot Bob
Book, yet it was not generally believed
that a neighbor's quarrel would bave
oarried so far. Bob Buok was aecased.

Was arrested, WB8 given a preliminary
besring and was dismissed. Tbe oircnm-
BtaDOea were 8QCh 88 to muke it appear
vfry bad for Buck, ohiefly for the reason
that he bad written a threatening letter
to Liednck. Their quarrel was over a
right-of-way through some land. Tbe
threatening letter came out in the trial
of Waohlin. Tbe defense succeeded in
getting it introduced in evidence. It
was a strong point for the aoonsed. The
relations between Ledrick and bisneigb-
bor. Buck, wonld have caused anv lurv to

Buck's handwriting hv oomnariaon
with another letter he admitted writing,
Waohlin's Bold dependence was in the
following documentary evidenoe, un
earthed from Ledriok's effeote:
"Oreon Mr. John Ledrick. We the
undersigned nere you nave dosed up
your gate and ploughed up a portion of
the road and said you pay taxes on your
Lund aud that you do not intend any
one to pass through. Now i have some'
thing to tell you if you have commenced
a game as that it you dare to forbid any
one passing through we the ucdereined
will take you out and hung you to the
first tree we come to, wa bave been
watching you tor some time, now you
put up notaces every one at liberty to
pass or you will loose your life in short
notice we intend to watch you very
close."
Jndge McBride'e oharge was explicit
and oareful. He took care to dwell on
the "reasonable douot" and to try to
make it clear to the jury what tbe reason
able doubt was.
Unless legal proceedings intervene,
Waohlin's execution will be set for tbe
latter part of January.
The above acoount from tbe Tele
gram omits one important obapter ot tbe
capture ot Waohlin. Tom Ingrnm, an
old Hillsboro boy, who bag been in the
Heppner oountry for tbe past two years,
ran across Waoblin while the latter was
in tbe employ of T. J. Allyn, ot lone,
wbere be hail been working for eix
months previous to his capture. Al
inotign Waoblin was going under an
assumed name, Mr. lngrum was very
certain be was tbe man. He began to
correspond with the Hillsboro authori
ties at once and was furnished a photo
of tbe man wanted. To make certain
that be was oorreot, be visited Mr,
Allyo'i lancb, nnder pretense ot stop
ping for diuner, and positively identified
tbe oulprit who wag shortly afterward
arrested by Sheriff Matlock and held on
til the arrival nf the sheriff of Washing
ton oounty. Ingrnm Is of a retiring dis
position and did not wish any notoriety
io connection with the affair, and besides
be was apprehensive that Waohlin might
tail of conviction acd then tent bis spite
upon him. Hence sinoe tbe arrest of
Wachlin, Ingram's name Ins not been
mentioned. Tbe reward of $500 will
evidently go tu Morrow oounty parties
but whether to Sheriff Matlock or to
Tom lngrum or to lis evenly divided be.
tween both, this paper ia uuable to say.
This is a matter that tha authorities ot
Washington county will bave to settle.
