A LITTLE HISTORY.
In a good-natured editorial in
last week's Independence Enter
prise, Editor Lyon calls in question
the accuracy of some of the Obsek
VEit's statements concerning politi
cal campaigns in Polk county, and
especially in reference to the
Republican county convention of
two years ago. Mr. Lyon says
that the recognition of the minority
in the make-up of committees and
state delegates in that convention
was tin; result of a compromise,
Huh is a mistake. Iliere was no
necessity for a compromise. Mr,
Hawkins had a clear majority of
the delegates m I lie convention,
and his friends and supporters
knew it. It is true that three or
four delegate's elected hs Hawkins
vjenvvere bought by the opposition
leaders almost the moment they
arrived in town; but there were
delegations such as that elected
from Eola precinct, for instance
that could not have been bought at
any price. As soon as the opposi
tion found that these men were not
a purchasable commodity and could
not bo tricked nor traded into
voting against Mr. Hawkins, they
gave up the fight as hopeless.
Now, as to tho caucus: There
were three men in Dallas who
wanted to go as delegates to the
stato convention and whose election
tho Keyt men desired. These men
were J. N. Hart, It. E. Williams
and E. C. Kirkpatrick, all ardent
supporters of Mr. Keyt. Mr.
Williams desired the election of
W. O. Vassall, knowing he could
obtain the proxy, as Mr. Vassall
was busy with his duties in the
bank and would not care to attend
the convention. These are the men
whom the Keyt delegation, which
had carried, the three Dallas pre-cinct-,
wanted for delegates. The
writer of these lines was given a
voice in the majority caucus and
knows whereof bespeaks. He went
before that caucus and advocated
the election of Hart. Vassall and
Kirkpatrick. He did this in the
interest of party harmony and good
feeling, and because he knew that
these were the men Dallas wanted
for delegates. In order to make a
place for one of thee Keyt men,

In Avhat it is and what it docs con

eruptions, relieving weak, tired,

the whole system is true only of
Hood's Sarsaparilla
No other medicine acts like it;
no other medicine has done so
much real, substantial good, no
other medicine- has restored health
and strength at so little cost.

Toy, Withers, N. I'.
Hood's Sarsaparilla promises to
cure and keeps trie promise.
the writer voluntarily sacrificed his
own ambition to go as a delegate
to the state convention, and staid
at home.
These are facts which we think
no one will have the hardihood to
deny.. The majority did not put
these Keyt delegates on the list
through fear; they did not put
them there through compromise.
They had Mr. Keyt defeated be
yond all doubt or question, and
they knew it. They gave the
minority this recognition because
they wanted to be decent and fair
with the losing side, and because
they desired peace and harmony in
the party, in order that the Re
publican ticket might receive an
undivided party support in the
June election. Be it said to the
everlasting shame of some of the
leaders so recognized, an under
handed attempt was made by some
of them to defeat the head of the
Republican ticket at the last
moment before the election, and it
is no fault of the: rs that the Re
publican candidate for the Legis
lature was not defeated.
The OnsERVKif quite agrees with
the Enterprise that "Mr. Hawkins'
is not an iysiie this year." The
only reason that Mr. Hawkins
name is mentioned at all is because
he happened to be a candidate for
the Legislature two years ngo, and
it was upon him that this attack
was made by the very same men
who so mercilessly crushed and
beat down the minority in the con
vention this year. In reciting
facts of history, it is necessary to be
be specific in a.l statements made,
if the history is to be of any weight
or value whatever. The Obskkvek
always endeavors to avoid glittering
generalities, and to eay what it
means. This is our only reason
for mentioning Mr. Hawkins' name
at this time or Mr. Keyt'B either,
for that matter.
The writer has been engaged in
the newspaper business in I oik
county for the last twelve years
and believes his readers will bear
him out in the assertion that lie
does not often make statements
that he cannot verify. Thecrookcd
political record of a few of the men
who have recently set themselves
uo us pure and undcfiled leaders
of the Republican party in Polk
;ounty is well known in this olhce,
and there are always facts, figures,
dates and names to back up any
statement we make.
It is a matter of regret that the
leadership of the party this year
fell into the hands of a few in
discreet youths who were so carried
away by their little temporary
victory that they threw cool judg
ment and concern for party suc
cess to tho winds and rode their
selfish schemes and plans rough
shod over tho heads of men who
were voting and working for the
success of Republican principles
before these young men were born.
The Republican party is all riuht,
and we are inclined to believe that
after a few of these selfish leaders
have passed into political oblivion
it will be in better shape for win
ning victories than it is at the
present time. No man objects to
following a party leader, provided
his leadership is of the reasonable
and decent sort.
POPULISTIC FOOLISHNESS
Salem Journal.
Portland is responsible for most
of the legislative damphoolism that
is foisted upon the people of this
state. The geniuses in control of
that city are always discovering
someone like Woods Hutchinson or
W. S. U'ren, who has wheels on
something. Then the genius with
wheels proceeds to evolve some
great patent nostrum that is to
make people honest and put the
kibosh on all the corruption prac
ticed at Portland by the politicians.
The result is a registration law, a
direct legislation system, a direct
primary law, woman suffrage
and Ciod knows what not.
Tho little 'ellow with wheels gets
the endorsement of the gigantic
statesmen with seven-story in
tellects and brains to burn, like
Harvey Scott and Mayor Williams,
and then the Oregonian begins to
grind, and the people of the whole
state fall in, and something is done
that everybody kicks himself for
ever afterwards lor having per
mitted.
The direct primary law to saddle
the whole expense of manipulating
candidates and making a party
ticket on the taxpayer is nothing
but a piece of political abortion. A
direct primary law that would leave
the voter all tho political liberty
that he now has, and make
aspirants pay tho bill for holding
the primary, would be a more
rational proposition.
Unlike Judge Boise, who has
held ollice for forty years at a
salary of something like $3000 a
year, B. L. Eddy has never held a
lucrative office, but has served his
home town as Mayor and the state
as a Legislator, and has rendered a
good account of himself in that
capacity. His bill to tax corpora
tions is putting $100,000 a year
into the state treasury, and he is
the father of many other good and
useful measures. The record of
Judge Burnett, his running mate,
is too well known to need any
commendation at this time, and it
is generally conceded that his
majority will be larger than ever
before. The people of the Third
Judicial District will make no
mistake when they yote for both
Burnett and Eddy,
The majority in the recent Re
publican county convention offered
to send to the state convention one
or two members of the minority
who had no desire to go, but re
fused to send any of the men that
the minority asked for. This is
the gag that has been worked on
Dallas for the last eight years.
When Dallas asks for a place on
the ticket it is denied her, and then
the convention will turn around
and force the town to take a few
minor ollices that are not wanted.
Dallas furnishes nearly otje-fourth
of the entire vote of the county,
(as can be seen by referring to the
precinct registration as given on
page four of this paper,) and the
Republican majority here has
elected pdie'er after officer in
past years, and vet, when the town
asks for anything, it is denied her.
Tho peoplo of Dallas have been
patient and long suffering, and
cannot be blamed for growing tired
of this kind of politics.
$500 REWARD FOR WOMEN
WHO CANNOT BK CURED.
Backed up by over a third of a century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weafcneRses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and nmktis of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
ful'.y warranted in offering to pay S500 in
legal money of the United States, for any
cane of I.eucoirhea, Female Weakness, Pro
lapsus, or Falling of Womb which they
cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and
reasonable trial of their means of cure.

There are thousands of pick women dragisf
out a weary, miserable exibtence, who wottirt he

writes Mrs. Annie l.enruan, of 106 Jackson St.
Atlanta, Oa. "Pour years ago I was nearly
dead with innimmatidn and ulceration. I en
dured daily untold agony, and life was a biudri:
tn me. I had used medicines internally cn-i
BTtetually until I had made up my mind ihat
there was no relief in sight for me. A friem! of
mine endorsed your ' Favorite Prescription.' and
I determined then to give it a trial. It tool,
patience and perseverance for I was in alwlo.n
ditlon, and had to uaeyour medicine for ue.irly
four months before I was cured, b.r! wh.it a
change it brought; from despair to hiiv-i i 1 1

discussed at length. The chairman
was authorized to appoint a committee
of two on Finance and a committee of
live on General Arrangements, the

of appointing all sub-committees.
Tho meeting then adjourned, subject
