County Seat SAYS ALL WAS PEACEABLE Ha and The Cltlieni Feel Annoyed at the Crltielim of Their Conduct and the Term "Mob." Rnnth nnr! Wonh Wail. K iS)5. To the Editor: In your Issue of tho 7th Inst, appears a report of the removal of the county seat of Pacific county, from Oystervllle to South Bend last Sunday, which contains so many misstatements and together with your editorial comments, Is such a seri ous reflection on the citizens of South Bend that we cannot allow It to. pass 'Unchallenged. It Is quite, evident that your information was furnished entirely from-Oystrrvllle, and in Justice to our selves we ask you to publish a correct statement of the facts In the ctse, which are as follows: At the last general election the ques tion of whether South Bend, Sealand or Oystervllle should be the county seat, was voted upon. South Bend received 984 votes. Sealand received 376 votea. and Oystervllle received 109 votes. The re sult of the election was canvassed by the board of county commissioners, two of whom were not fovorable to South Bend, and In accordance with the state law governing tho. removal of county seats, they issued an order that from and after February 4, 1893, South Bend would be the county seat. On January 6, 1833, a citizen of Oystervllle procured an in junction rrom tne supreme court, re straining the auditor and board of county commissioners from removing' the rec ords. On February 4th the injunction was (Unsolved bv the court that issued it. and in accordance with tho order of the com missioners, South Bend at once became Via pmintv Kpnl. The ' board of countv commissioners Instructed Mr. Charles E. Foster to supervise the work of removing the records and furniture from Oyster vllle to South Bend, and the "mob" con slsted of a number of citizens he took with him to aid In carrying out these In structions. As the' board of county com missioners were to hold meeting on MOnuay, lc-waa necessary uiui jjrumpt action be taken, and in order that there should be no interruption to the machin ery of the county government, It was deemed best to make the removal on Sun day when there was no business being transacted. . All of the county officials, excepting the auditor, were ready, and did remove to South Bend, as was their duty when they saw- the . Order of the court dis solving the injunction. The auditor, Mr. Barney, for reasons best known to mm- j self, declined to come, and he was left severely alone, no one attempting in any way to coerce him to come or to take his records. , j The statement that the purpose or tne "mob" was to secure, the official ballots is an outrageous lie. Before leaving South Bend it had been decided not to bring the official ballots unless Mr. Bar ney chose to bring them himself, so that no question could be raised in referenc; to them. 1 The alleged "mob" consisted of the best citizens of South Bend, their action throughout was legal and orderly, and to class such well known citizens as C. B. Foster, M. D. Egbert, R. B. Dyer and A. I Denio a a "mob" Is a gratuitous In sult As a matter of fact the Illegality is all on the other side. A few citizens of Oystervllle aided and abetted by the county auditor are trying bx. trickery and technicalities, to defeat the manifest will of the people of the county, but despite their efforts. South Bend is and will re main the county seat of Pacific county. Very respectfully, THOMAS COOPER, Mayor of South Bend. -l.nrn Ordrr for 'ilni The new can factory Is in receipt of a very large order for cans for the Willam ette valley.
