We learn t but thero is in circula tion a written statement which charges one of the Radical candidates with having proposed to purchase his nomination. "We have not seen this document, but we presume none will deny that such a paper is in existence. It is a serious charge, but the accusation comes from lie publicans against their own party friends, and consequently Democrats are not responsible for it and have no right to question its truth. If this individual, who is thus charged with securing his nomination, is guilty, is it not fair to presume that the persons who are put on the ticket for the paying offices were put on through fraud and bribery? The whole thing was made up by a thor ough combination, and each and every candidate, whether he had a hand in it or not, is linked in with this bargain and oSalo. They could not have secured their nomination in tiny-other way. We ask the hon est and free voters of this countv w hether they are prepared to endorse this piece of bribery which is being exposed, not by party opponents, b-ut by members of the llepublican party themselves? A vote for the King ticket is an endorsement of this outrage on the rights of the people, and the man who votes the lladical ticket ou Monday next, votes to en dorse corruption, bribery and dis honesty, as much so as the man who would go into convention and take the Slu or ottered for his vote. l!et the people of Clackamas eounty rebuke all such high-handed attempts to purchase their .cvereign rights. Lei not men who have monov show- to the world that they can buy their nomination and then force the people to surujtion tao purcha.se at the polls. An Infamous Falsehood. We hear it stated that a report is being circulated to the effect that Mr. Oflield will m itLdraw from the con test and that the Democrats propose to support Mr. Starkweather. This lie is on a par with many others be ing circulated by the Radicals. Mr. Otiield will not withdraw, and if the Democrats cf Clackamas county are true to themselves and their county, Mr. Oiiield will be elected by a hand some majority. Let Democrats be on their gmwa against Radical false hoods, 'iney it-el that they must resort to desperate meaus to succeed; and will not hesitate to lie. If the people of Clackamas county desire to be represented in the next Legislature by men who aro identi fied with their interests, and who will not belong to any corporation or clique, let them cast their .votes for the Democratic ticket. They are air old settle rs tind farmers, and the interest of .the people of this county is their interest. To the Democratic Voters. Next Monday the voters of Oregon will be called upon to decide who shall senve them in the various offi ces of the State and counties. At no time since the organization of our State has the contest of parties been more bitter and filled with more per sonal abuse. This has been particu larly so with the Ring, or Hippie Mitchell party"" of this State. We have too much regard for the intelli gence of the voters of Oregon to be lieve that such a policy will be en dorsed by them next Monday, or that their abuse has had any influ ence to actuate voters in their decis ion. Wo desire to speak a few words with Democrats and those who are in earnest in their desire for econom ical and honest State and county administrations, and then submit our cause for their decision. The Albany Convention placed in nomination a State ticket composed of Democrats whose integrity cannot be successfully questioned. Men of unimpeachable character and men of experience in the various offices' which they have been called upon by the party to till. The candidate for Governor on this ticket has been charged with every crime that a vile partisan press could invent, and these have all been proved false. Not a single accusation can the opposition j make successfully against the Shite administration, nor have they. The affairs of our State, under Radical rule, were most shamefully conduct ed, and when the present administra tion went into power, we found our State bankrupt, and thousands of dollars of the people's money had been stolen. Not a public building had been erected; the hinds belong ing to the State had been squander ed, and had the Radicals succeeded four years ago, not a foot of all the valuable donations of the Govern ment would have been secured. Now matters are different. Every depart ment of our State Government is in complete working order. Not a sin gle charge of corruption can be es tablished by our opponents, and the Democracy has pledged itself in the future to administer the affairs of State for the benefit of the masses as it has in the past. The only trite reason why so much abuse and cal umny has been heaped upon Gov. Grover is, that he has opposed the ring which has attempted to rule the State, and had he been willing to become its tool, they would not to day oppose his re-election. But he has been honest and faithful to the trust conferred upon him by the peo ple, and should he bo re-elected, it will le but a just tribute from the people he has so long and faithfully served. S. F. Chudwiek. the candi date for re-election for Secretary of State, has made an honest, faithful and correct officer, and wo have no doubt but what he will be re-elected by a large majority. Roth these se lections were the choice, almost unanimously, of tho Conven tion which selected them. The re mainder of the State ticket is equally unobjectionable, and no Democrat can refuse to vote tho entire ticket. It is true that each individual may not have secured his personal choice. Yet we owe a duty to our party which should make us look beyond that of personal likes and dislikes, and after the party has spoken in Convention, we should, unless we know that unfit or dishonest persons have been se lected, suppoit tho ticket fairly nom inated. It is not a fight against men, but one for Democratic principles, we should discard all personal feel ings in the premises. The Radicals have no principles but the cohesive ness of plunder, and hence their cse is different. Democrats who are such from principle cannot, when victory is within reach, now forsake the ship they helped to sail during the many dark days of defeat and disaster. We urge upon every Democrat to go to the polls on next Monday, and discharge the duty he owes to his Stale and countv, and if they but to this, a glorious victory will bo their reward. The principles of the Democracy, notwithstanding our Radical friends tell us they no longer exist, . re still the issues of the people, and will be until w e shall control the nation once more, and bring it back to the better days of our great Republic. Democrats, do your duty, aud vote the straight ticket. Cor.. W. L. White. This gentle man received the nomination for the office of County Judge on the Dem ocratic ticket. lie is eminently qualified for the position, has shown himself to be so during the past six months. No man has ever held that office in our county who has given better satisfaction, tmd none question his integrity or ability. He is wor thy of the support of every Democrat, and we hope that he will receive the eutire vote of the Democracy. Even his worst enemies give him the credit of being a good man for the position, and in every way qualified. Should not be ScrroRTED. Mr. W. Moreland, the Independent can didate for County Judge, is not de serving any Democratic votes. He took his chauces against the nominee of the party before the Convention and was defeated. Good faith should have induced him to support his suc cessful opponent. Another Lie Xalled. The Radical press has charged Governor Grover with having im properly used $14,000 of the 'funds belonging to the Willamette Woolen Manufacturing Company. This lie has effectually been put to rest by a statement authorized to be published by Gen. John F. Miller, the Presi dent of the Company, who says -that on the first day of January, 1872, Governor Grover settled with the Company and paid them every dollar he was owing them, and that the books of the Company show such settlement at that date, and that the same are open to inspection to . any party who may desire information on that subject. Mr. Lush, of the banking house of Ladd & Bush, through which firm much business of the Company is done, also concurs with the above denial, and authorizes his name to be used to the same. In regard to the statement that Uncle Dan Waldo was authority for this malicious falsehood, the Mercury says " that it is a willful and malicious lie. Uncle Daa Waldo never told Gov. Grover 'to his face that he had stolen 814, 000,' or any other sum from the Salem Woolen Factory Company, nor would he dare to tell him so. None other thau the most friendly feeling exits between Uncle Dan Waldo and Gov. Grover to-day. Not one dollar has Gov. Grover ever drawn from that Company, for his own use, that was not drawn through the Secretary and Treasury, and charged to Gov. G rover's individual account." We trust that these facts are sufficient to refute the falsehoods of the Radical press. We also append a card from Mr. D. II. Murphy, former Secretary of the Company: " The business affairs of the Wool en Company under Mr. G rover's agency were in every respect, to my knowledge honorably conducted, and every item cf Grover's personal expenditure made in Salem, Tort laud and San Francisco was charged up to his account on the books of tho Company. During my employ ment with said company each stock holder and Director had an open account kept on the books and each was charged with every cent of mer chandise or money that was drawn by them. 1). II. MruniY. Also Mr. Walter Jackson who has since been the Secretary of the com pany, and was in the employ of the company under Mr. Murphy during the time of Grover's agency, says that the foregoing statements are correct. One of their Charges. We are informed that the Radical candidates charge Mr. Beatie for I receiving more fees -than the law al lows while ho was acting as Deputy Sheriff. This charge is false. Mr. Beatie received no more than the law allowed him, and no more than was received by the Sheriff of this county when the Radicals were in power. It is claimed that when a Sheriff serves a writ "of arrest issued by a Justice nf the Peace, that the Sheriff is only entitled to the fees of a con stable. The statutes provide what the Sheriff shall receive for such ser vice, and when the law points out his fees ns Sheriff, he is by no means to be governed by the fees of a con stable. Where the law does not lix his fees as Sheriff, then the law provides that he shall receive the same fees as a constable. Mr. Boa tie's integrity is too well known in this community for any person to believe that he would take a cent that the law did not allow him for his services. The Swamp I. ami (J,ucslhu. The Radical press appears to have much to say in regard to swamp lauds. The trouble with those Rad ical organs is, they aro in with the Railroad Company, and hence they are down on Gov. Grover for having secured these lands to the people of Oregon. His predecessor neglected to select these lands, and had not the present State administration dono so, the rig..ts of the State would have been forfeited and the Railroad company would have secur ed the vast amount of land to which the State is justly entitled. This is their main reason for censure upon the Democracy. After tho Demo cratic Legislature secured them to the State, the last Radical Legisla ture divided tho proceeds up among its party friends in road jobs. And now they growl at the Democracy for doing their duty in this matter. Voters Hemcniber That by voting tho Radical ticket of this county you vote to re-instate the old Court House clique which formerly controlled this county, headed by James M. Frazer and W. P." Burns, the former as Clerk and the latter as County Treasurer. Do you want these old political trick 6ters to again rule your county? If not, vote the entire Democratic tick- ! et, which is composed of new men, farmers and laborers, and not of per sons who are aud have- been hanging around to get office. Vote the straight ticket. Every man on it is fully identified with the interests of ! our county, and they are all honest, capable and true men. Let us achieve a victory for tho people, and j not for the Radical politicians who I havo not energy or industry enough to earn a living without office.. tetter from Eagle Creek. Eagle Creek, May 25, 1874. EditorEn-teiifrise: We presume that a few lines from this section of the county would not be altogether obnoxious and wearysome to your readers. Though we ' live- in the back ground, still we are advocates of knowledge and understanding; and hold in high reverence the prin ciples that underlie our American Republic. It is seldom that we are permitted to enjoy the presence of the political men of our county, which enjoyment is only experienced just before an election in which they themselves are concerned. Yes! we have again been visited by Peter, the great champion of the Republican party of this county. He comes forth as he previously did, with one exception, and that is, he has had the benefit of Tolman's speech, which has proved of great service to him, pleading the cause of the Grant ad ministration, and condemning that of Grover in loud, and as he consid ers, forcible language; giving in structions toliis political tools, warn ing them of the great importance of their being faithful that he may pro cure his election to the State Senate. If a person should stop up his ears and sit in the audience while Peter was speaking and watch his move ments, together with the smiling faces of his few worshipers, he would naturally suppose that he (Peter) was one of America's ablest states men; but just let him remove them, and it would disgust him in a mo ment. . Our Democratic speakers are doing well their work, explaining explicit ly the manner in which our county finances have been conducted, to gether with tho great wisdom that has been exercised during the Grover administration in constructing suit able State buildings and encouraging other improvements to promote the honor aud dignity of our country. The Democracy of this, part of the county are alive to their interests, aud are. too high minded to be led oil' by the Independent wolf clothed in lambskin seeking whom he may devour; and we aro determined that they shall die in the shell; for the veil that separates them from other organizations is not sufficient to hide their rotten design, and they, togeth er M-ith their Republican colleagues, will be hurled into everlasting defeat on the day of election. It is unnec essary for any sane man to hesitate for a moment in reflecting upon the political move that has lately sprung up in our State. There may possi bly he soma that sincerely desire reform, but we can only judge this by those that lead it; and. when we are made acquainted with their past record, wo readily see that they aro all old political lobbyists, and as they failed to procure nominations within tho ranks of their party bolt ed their ticket and created an Inde pendent party, on whose back they hope to ride into power, or procure the defeat of the Democracy. Bat the people of this county and State are organized against them, and will give G rover, together with the entire Democratic State ticket, a rousing majority. We were highly pleased with tho proceedings of our County Convention that placed in nomina tion Frank W. Foster, of our pre cinct, for the Clerkship. He will carry the full force of the party, and also many Republican votes. And on next Monday we will elect the entire Democratic ticket to run our Governmental affairs for the next term. Yours, &c. A Voter. Look Out foi: Them. We would caution Democrats through out the State against Radical lies and roorbacks w hich will be started on the day of election for political effect. Already' we hear that-a num ber of lies are in circulation, and they will probably be put forth on election day. The people should remember the falsehood published two years ago to the effect that Gov." Grover had, on election day, par doned twelve of the most desperate convicts out of the penitentiary in order to secure their votes and ser- i vices at the polls. There will, in all probability, be similar lies circulat ed for political effect on the day of election, and wo caution Democrats to be on the lookout. There is noth ing too low and contemptible for Radicals to resort to in order to se cure their success. Bo on the alert, Democrats. Wile Supfort Htm. The anti Hippie voters of this county will pretty generally vote for tho Inde pendent candidate for County Clerk, Mr. S. L. Stevens, aud many of the Regulars will also give him their votes, knowing him to bo fully com petent to fill the position. Demo crats can support their own nominee as ho is fully qualified and will dis charge the duties of the office to the best interests of the county and with credit to himself. Because he is a farmer is no reason why ho is not qualified, as some of our Radicals friends intimate. Farmers should rebuke this insult by voting for Frank W. Foster, and thus show these political demagogues that they have among them men as well fitted to sit in the Court House as those who hang arouud waiting for an office to come to them. Look to Y'oub Tickets. We would call the attention of Demo crats in this county to the fact that Radicals are unscrupulous enough to forg- tickets, or make use of " pasters." Look at every ticket before you vote, and see that none but Democrats aro upon it. Let Democrats bo cautious and work for the success of the entire ticket. Judge Shattuck. It is scarcely worth our time and space to urge the people of- this county to vote for Judge Shattuck, the nominee of the People's, Demo cratic and Independent Conventions of this District. We feel satisfied that all realize the importance of having an honest, able and upright man ou the bench, one who is not so strong in his partisan feelings that he cannot do justice to his political opponents. That Mr. Johnson, while he is by far the inferior of judge Shattuck in legal ability, which cer tainly his most ardent admirers will not deny, is so strongly prejudiced in his peculiar views that he could not, if he desired,, do justice to a po litical opponent, is well known to our readers. Judge Shattuck is a man free from partisan prejudices, a man of eminent ability, and has an experience of past services in that capacity which the people certainly require on the bench. He is the peer of any attorney in our State, and if elected will be an honor to the position for which the people of this district have selected him. This is not a partisan office, and the people should select the man who is best qualified and ic whose integrity as a Judge they can place the most im plicit confidence. When a Judge is once elected, he should be a man who can discard all personal feeling, and serve all alike. This Judge Shattuck has shown himself in the past to be able to do; .this Mr. John son's prejudices and feelings will not permit Lim to do. We, therefore, urge upon the people to vote for Judge Slwv.tuck and thus secure the services of a pure man, an honest judge and an able lawyer. An lymphatic Denial. The Radical japers of this State have frequently charged Mr. M. V. Brown of being a Union Leaguer and with hurrahing at the hanging of Mrs. Surratt. This they say he ' isfaction of the people. Mr. Lew did and was in Iowa. The following j ellen, the nominee for Assessor, is a letter will put a stop, we trust, to j young man with good sound judg the repetition of this story: -- j ment, liberal education and a farmer Pendtetox, May IS, 1S74. by profession. He will and out to M. V. Jiroicn, Ksn. Dear Sir: I be elected. Messrs. Fields and see a statement in the Bulletin of the 10th inst., in which n are charged with having been a Loyal Leaguer, etc.., aud of having rejoiced at the I respected citizens ot this county, hanging of Mrs. Surratt, in Iowa, j Two better men for the position Surely the man that makes a state- could not be found in the entire ment of this kind must be lost to : ... . m, -,i -, - ever ysenso of truth or virtue must I Mato- xhy AVl11 oimstor tne even regard it as a disgrace to tell ! fliiirs of the county to the best in the truth. On the od "day of Julv. i terests of the farmers and tax-ravors. l!Uk, you ana l, in company with our families and many others, cross- eii rtoutu latte iu prarie sc oon evs," ou our way to this country. From the 4th to the 10th we were on the Cache La Pondra. We lay over on the -1th and had a kind of one horse celebration, li.shing, etc. The news of the hanging of Mrs. Surratt did not reach us till about the 10th of August. I was traveling with you at the time and know that you were not in the State of Iowa. I know, furthermore, that you were not a Loyal Leaguer. There was not to exceed two or three Republi cans in the train one, a gentleman by tho name of Dawson, and the others I do not now recollect. Nei ther did you rejoice over the hang ing of Mrs. Surratt, but, like every one in the train, most heartily con demned it. I give yon this plain s-tatemcnt, feeling it a duty I owe you, as yon have been misrepresented so vilely in this matter. 1 wish yon success iu everything but in politics. Yours, in haste, J. 11. Turner. How lw This lor an Indorsement. The Radicals claim that they arc terribly opposed to the lock purchase. Ben. Simpson introduced the first bill in the legislature. He has since been appointed Surveyor-General of Oregon by Mr. Mitchell. They say that they are in favor of the. repeal of the fee bill. Bush Wilson, of Be r. ton county, is its author; James Gingles, of the same county, intro duced it info the legislature. The j former is the regular nominee for j Clerk of that county, and the latter for Sheriff. Sol. Ilirsch, Dave Pow ell and John F. Caples, all voted for the bill in the last legislature. Tho two first named are now in nomination for the Senate, and the latter for the Lower House. Does that not look like an endorsement of their past official acts. We rather apprehend that the voters will see through the shallow pretences of the Radical par- ty in their professions of opposition to tne.se measures, ami the oniv wav they can repudiate tho men is to vote against the party. The Itcpubiicans are itepoiisible. The Radicals of Oregon tell the people that they aro opposed to the present school law, equalization act, the increased fee bill, and other acts passed by the last legislature. This is a remarkable thing. Two years ago next September, the Radical party met in Salem as the State Legis lature, and the Lower House of that body contained fifteen Democrats and thirty -four Republicans. Will the Radicals tell us how it came that fif teen Democrats were able to pass all these obnoxious bili3 when the Low er House was tw o-third Radical? The Senate was a tie aud it was a good thing for the peopie.or else the Rad icals of the Lower House would have passed other and greater jobs. Tho facts are, the Radical party is respon sible for all the evil legislation of the last session, and the people should hold it responsible. By voting the Radical t cket, you endorse the above named acts, and they will remain on your statute books. The County Candidates. The Democracy have presented a ticket to tho voters of this county composed of men against whom the vile tongue of slander has not even hinted tho slightest charge deroga tory of their integrity. The ticket is headed by Mr. Jas. Wr. Offield, a farmer, who stands high for integri ty and is possessed with more than ordinary ability. He will make a good and honest Senator. The nom inee for County Judge, Col. W. L White, is an old citizen of this State and county, and while the air is fill ed with calumny, not one charge against his integrity or ability for the position has been made by his oppo nents. Mr. C. F. Beatie, the candi ' date for Sheriff, is too well and favorably known by our citizens to need any eulogy from us. He is an honest man and will discharge the duties of his office to the entire satis faction of the people. The Legisla tive ticket is composed of men who are well fitted for the position, and men who are farmers and deeply in interested in the welfare and pros perity of our young ' State. They are not in the interest of any clique or corporation, and if elected, they will go to the Legislature to work for the people. Frank W. Foster, the candidate for County Clerk, is a young man raised in this county. All his interests are here, and he is thoroughly qualified for the position for which he is nominated. lie will make a good officer, and deserves the support of every Democrat and far mer in the county. Tho nominee for County Treasurer is J. P. Ward, druggist in this city. lie is an hon est young man, and has not been a chronic office hunter like his appo neut. Mr. Gorham Bridges, the can didate for Surveyor, is a practical surveyor and deserves the votes of j our citizens. He will discharge the duties of the office to the entire sat- Cason, the candidates for County Commissioners, are old and highly both being enterprising and prosper ous farmers themselves. Dr. H. Straight is the nominee for Coroner. He is well fitted for the position and is an old citizen of this comity. Mr. W. W. Moreland, the nominee for School Superintendent, has been engaged in the Oregon City Semina ry for the past two years as teacher. He has had six years experience as a teacher, and has given universal sat isfaction, lie has been admitted to practice as an attorney, and as soon as his present engagement with the city expires, he will retire and open an office in this place to practice his profession. He is a man of excel lent character and will be a valuable person for the position he is nomi nated to fill. The school interests will receive careful and punctual attention should he be elected. The ticket is a good one, and wo trust that every man on it will receive a hearty support from the voters. Let us elect the whole ticket by a hand some majority, and this will surely be done if the Democrats do their duty next Monday. tYoTE Straight. We urge upon Democrats to vote the entire ticket ; don't scratch or swap votes. Our Radical friends, no doubt, will be anxious to trade, but as the Demo crats have placed in the field good and honest men, men worthy the support of every voter in the county, it is a duty they owe to the, party to give the entire ticket their hearty support. Radicals will not swap any man they have the least hope of elect ing, hence Democrats would be gain ing nothing by even making a trade. Let Democrats vote the straight ticket and urfre as many of their neighbors as possible to do likewise. The monkey which is being used by the Radicals of this place to do their dirty work, and who has the j audacity of claiming to bo an attor- ney, at the last term of tho Circuit Court, after having acted as prose cuting attorney in the Indian cases, proposed to defend them when they came on trial, and assured them that he was the "best lawyer in Oregon, and that they would not get sent to tho penitentiary if -they employed him." Either the fellow is an ass or ho wanted to steal the fees from the poor Indians he thought knew no better. He is just the chap to do the indiscriminate lying for the clique m this place. The Democratic nominee for County Clerk of this county is a young man raised here, has good qualifications for tho position for which he has been nominated; and is iu every way deserving the office. Vote for Frank AY. Foster, and thus elect one of tho farmers Clerk of your county, and not a professional office-seeker. If you want a good honest farmer for the office, of Sheriff, vote for C. F. Beatie, the Democratic nominee. He is a man in evey respect qualified for the position. Vote the entire ticket. The Barln l.iar. The Barin Liar in hi, speech Wednesday evening stated f fifteen Democrats.voted for the iTv bill and only eight Radical. That a lie on its face. There were tott eight votes east, Mr. Cranor.of Li being absent, and it required twenT' five votes to pass the bill. Th " were but seventeen Democrats in I Lower House and Mr. Cran - u or o one of them, hence there conl.l r, have been but sixteen hauPthey au voted for it. But the facts are that twelve Democrats and thirteen Iie publicans voted for the bill arsi three Democrats and twenty Uep licans voted against it. In order to refresh the Barin Liar's memory append the vote on the bill.and trust his small calibre will be soflicientlr large to comprehend the facts in th"e case. Democrats in italics, Repub licans in- romans. The vote in House on the passage of H. B. 77 common ly kn won as the "Locks Bill," as taken Oct. 17, 1S72, with the follow ing result : uiyt-s Messrs.

B. Con gle, father-in-law of Dick Williams voted for the bill, and it is fair to sppose that he did so through th influence of kaid Dick who w as lob- bying for its passage. The bill was introduced by Bon. Simpson, the Radical Surveyor-General of Ore gon, who has received his appoint ment since the adjournment of the Legislature, and who was the mo,t ardent supporter Mitchell had. II was worth more than Barin, so he got the head office, while Barin odIy got a $5,000 surveying contract. That is tho difference in tho price of the commodity. The Fee Kill. The infamous fee bill which was passed by the last Legislature re ceived tho votes of thirty-two mem bers of that body out of forty-eight. Of these, there were eight Democrat who voted for the bill and tweuty four Republicans. This bill has co?t the tax-payers of Oregon nearly as much as the entire State expenses an. Will the voters of Oregon en dorse this act of the Radical party ? We here give the official vote, and it will be seen that J. B. Congle, father-in-law of Dick Williams, liko the lock bill, voted for the infamous bill. The Democrats are in italics; II. B. 00. To nmc-nd General L.i concerning fees of officers, pjx.s.-ti in the House October 15th, by fal lowing vote: Ae-. Messrs.

Thus it will be seen that the Rad icals cast enough votes to pass the f'o bill, oven if all the Democrats had voted against it. The Judge's extra compensation was passed by the Radicals also, by a vote of twenty-one Republicans and nine Democrats voting for the bill, and nine Republicans and four Democrats voting against it.
