Tub citizens of Ilepimer have an in tense love anil the most profound respect for their local paper so does a cat love vinegar. Tun Gazette has shown its true colors in this political light, and now even the most obtuse cannot fail to see that it is the mouthpiece of the ringmaster and his flunkicR. The republican county ticket is that in name only. It is nut the ticket of tho republican party in Morrow county, but was foisted ijion the party by a few tricksters within its ranks.

Hit consented to run; tho ring held him: lie couldn t khv no. l oor follow If elected, what will be do if the ring- ptemask him to pack a jury? Through sympathy, many of bis friends have con eluded to say no for him by casting their votes for J. W. Morrow. Tiik Giuette asks why Messrs. Mitch dl and Howard did not prosecute Hwin buine, etc., etc. Why? Simply because Swinburne, being given no encourage ment, made no tender id a bribe. But that does nut in the least excuse Dr. Swinburne or in any way palliate his attempt to pack the jin y panel. Tiiosk candidate n the republican county ticket who may have been "good men and bunchgrassers" have, by ac ceptHig nomination and support from the common enemy of all good men and bunchgrassers, forfeited every claim they might have had to the 'vote of their former tompstriotn. I THE DIFFERENCE. If the democratic party lias a ring, as asserted by the Guzette, it seems to be better concealed, or takes less obvious methods of working than the republican ring.. It did not take the trouble to send men to lone and Eight Mile to carry the primaries. It did not have any one to come in from Eight Mile and say, "I brought you in straight goods as I agreed to in that delegation, and you went back on me." It did not have a mail in I'ine City to hold the primary before all were collected, and when others came in be fore adjournment but just after voting on delegates and asked for a reconsider ation, to take a vote on tho reconsidera tion, and, when it carried, to refuse to reconsider, saying, "I have no authority to allow another vote to be taken," when the majority of the meeting had just voted him that authority. The demo crats did not have a man with an inex haustible quantity of gall and a versatile capacity for arsuming to be either a re publican or a democrat, as he thought best at the moment to proem e informa tion from a stranger from tins country, to parade I ho streets of Heppner for two months lieloro the convention, witli hardlv daylight enough in which to talk oldies. 1 ho democrats dm not have the gall to promiHu the assessor's ollice to live different men to procure their assistance in the nomination of sheriff and clerk. No one among the demo1 crats hud the unadulterated cheek to issert with a bland smile and engaging air of sincerity, "I am not lighting any one," then go into the primary, and on finding that the ring was hkelv to he outvoted, to send men down town to rake up drunks and democrats to carry the primary. Iho democrats had no man with such a brazen front as to get up in the convention and assert that he hail lieen ottered a proxy and had re fused to take it, when in fact he had unsuccessfully asked for the proxy in question, anil who said a telegram was on tile in tho telegraph ollice to that ef fect, which telegram does not and never did exist. Tho "democratic ring" did not have a temporary chairman primed with a written list of the names he was to appoint on committees and so awk ward as to produce the list trom Ins pocket and read it to the convention. The "democratic ring" does not have its members so well drilled as to throw out the vote of a precinct when in 1888, iu tho same convention, a precinct vote was admitted under exactly the same irciimstances; nor so well drilled as to admit one proxy sent by telegraph and' exclude another, and every man vote for one and against the other. The demo crats don't have to put up men who must villi f y their relatives privately through tho country to get elected or to get nominations. Their candidates do not have to lure a newspaper to detenu tho character of n ringleader through the 'ampaign; and last, but not least, they do riot have a ringleader who makes his boast, as Dr. h. K. bwmhurne did after the republican convention, "I have Howard's and Andrews' scalps at my belt, and am going to hang them on my tent pole. If anybody wants an ollice in Morrow county they have to come to Jim. 1 um the, mm!" Tub Gazette must bo in a pretty tight place when, in its desperate efforts to defend the lepuhlihan ling and its boss. it slaps Heppner square in the lace and flies to the liunchgrusscrs for sympathy, pretending to bo their friend. Indeed! Kor how long has that sheet been the friend of the hunehgrassers ? Since its issue of the week belore, piolmbly, when it referred to the bunchgrassers as easily-deluded farmers." The hunch- grassers are not so "easily-deluded lint that they can see through the organ s hypocritical pretensions of fiicndship made at this time to secure votes tor the ticket put up to defe:it men against whom the ringmaster had personal spile hecaime he could not induce them to pack jiities for him. For u paper that stands selt'-couimitled as theoiganof a set of unscrupulous tricksters who are trying to "wotk the bunchgrassers" in their own interests to now tell hunch- grassers (hat the democratic party was run by a ring in Iho interest of Heppner is a piece of nau.y claptrap that excites only the ridicule and contempt of the men whom it seeks to make tools ol. it the campaign lasted a couple of weeks longer the oigan would become a drivel ing idiot. The ingenuity of some of the tricks of the republican ring is onlv equaled by their nbsiiidity.- Tho other day the statement was made that, I. V. Morrow controlled the policy of tho Iti'imKT, and as he did not cause it to favor ltlackman, ho should bu slaughtered by democrats. Isn t that a titilh.int idea Y for the in formation of any who are not well ac quainted with this paper, we will say here that neither .1. W. Morrow nor any other person than its proprietors, whose names appear upon the first pano, con trols the policy of the Hhihikt. To those who have known (lie paper since its in ception no denial is necessary, and un der other circumstances atu-h a frivolous and self-evident canard would not be noticed. Vote the democratic ticket and frustrate the designs of men who stoop to such tricks. r Candidates on tho republican county ticket, after allowing themselves to be made the tools of tho ring, display an amount of assurance that is amusing if not disgusting when they demand the support of men w ho are opposing the ring. Hecansetliey are good men and buuchgrasKcrs," they ask to be upheld, oven though they join with tho most malignant foe of the biinchgrasser. Twaddi.k, twaddle, twaddle; how im potent is twaddle! The Gazette labors through a column of high-noun. ling and far-fetched verbiage to show that a Jew is almost as respectable as an American. Say no more. For tho sake of peace wo admit that the argument holds good in some cases say, for instance, that of a second-hand pawnbroker and the pro prietor of tho Gazette. When a subscription paper for the relief of sufferers by the Vvclone was presented to Dr. K. K. Swinburne, the boss refused to contribute a cent, say ing, I am not responsioie tor wnai itod Almighty and the elements have done." lo voters want that kind of a man to control the n tt'a i i h of thix rmintt '.' CLOSE OF THE CAMPAICN. The campaign is drawing to a Close. Next Monday will be determined the relative strength of two political parties throughout the state, modified to some extent by the personal popularity of dif ferent candidates and by questions of local interest. In Morrow county the fate of the two county tickets will not depend so much upon the difference in numbers between democrats and repub licans as upon the question whether it is the wish of the majority that one un principled individual, aided by a hand ful of unscrupulous politicians, shall control the public ollh-es and the admin istration of justice. The issue is plain and unmistakable. On one side is the republican ticket, nominated by notori ously unfair means for the express pur pose of punishing honorable men whom the ringmaster had failed to defile and against whom his venom was directed, and on the other the democratic ticket, entirely uninfluenced by the ring and quite acceptable to republicans who wish to rebuke their would-be bosses. Many republicans have at last reached the limit of their patience, and, revolt ing from ring rule, repudiate the ticket of their own party so arrogantly and um'ustlv forced upon them. The indi cations grow stronger every day trV.it their number is snllicient to turn the balance and elect the democratic county ticket. Such a defeat of the republican county ticket at this time will be doubly advantageous to that party. It will in flict a humiliating puisvditnent upon the bosses and administer a wholesome warning to men who might in future he inclined to accept nominations from and allow themselves to be made the pup pets of wire pullers. Consistently with its course in the past, during this cam paign the lirixiET has opposed the fac tion that would allow a few selfish men to make of a political party a machine for their own use, control the affairs of a county and even tip the scales of jus tice. In thus endeavoring to lessen the power of a corrupt boss and his aides this paper has had the moral support of the best citizens of the county, who rec ognize in it at least a staunch ally in their struggle to throw olf the yoke that bus long borne heavily upon them, and it has brought upon itself the wrath of a few who do not like to acknowledge, even to themselves, that they have been made the dupes of Swinburne and his associates, and like still less to be told of it. However, this paper is not trying to "stand in" with the whole world. It tries to be and do right, and if it makes enemies on that account it has no re grets. During tho past two months it has waked up many a man to a full sense of the wrong that was being prac ticed upon republicans especially and upon the county in general, while the Gazette, whi.di should have been an earnest colaborer, haB used every means to undo its work and cover the tracks of the wrongdoers. The Hi'dokt has been aggressive and outspoken. Its asser tions have been borne out by the facts ; and while it has used pretty plain lan guage, it has not stated the half of what it might have said without overstepping the bounds of truth or respectable jour nalism, lint it has done its duty, and It now remains for the voters to do theirs at the polls next Monday. ItoNosMi-N in the right-of-way matter, men who gave notes for the right-of-way fund, and others (except tho M. 0. L. & T. Co.) interested in tho bond suit now pending, want to make it impossible for the ringmaster to have anything to do with the jury list. They will support .lodge William Mitchell for re-election to Ins present position, Oeorgo noble for sherilf, and J. W. Morrow for county clei k, knowing these men to be honor able, true to their own manhood, and entirely beyond the reach of the ring master or his accomplices. The Gazette intimates that the Ilrixircr lies. This remark is not a new one for the Gazette (o make, but readers of the two papers will remember a former oc casion w hen that paper made the same accusation and the truth of the ISnxir.r's statements was proven in court. It will be remembered also that the Ga2ette was then upholding tho ring, a bad habit it has which it should endeavor to over come, or men whom it characterizes as "easily-deluded farmers" may begin to suspect that it is part of the ring. Pi:moci!Ats, note the fact that while Frank I!, baker is the republican candi date for state pi inter, he is the first man elected to that ollice who purchased a complete plant and kept the work at home. For his enterprise nnd fairness ho deserves re-election. He is an ar tistic printer, a square man, a member of tho typographical union (has been president), and a gold-headed cane pre sented by his own employes is evidence of his popularity among tho printers. Ho is worthy of your votes. When the Gazette talks about the po' tencv of boodle does it refer to Black man's or the republican ring's boodlo? Does it measure others bv its ow n stand ard? Did it help Blackmail put himself up for ollice for the honor it hoped to gain thereby? Has it gained any honor? Did it become the organ of the republi can ring for the benefit of public health and morality? Has it deliberately made mi as of itself merely for the sake of hearing its ow n brav? "Boodle, boodle, how potent is boodle!" J. C. Thomson, democratic candidate for representative, has captured the county. The people want a farmer to represent them, and he suits exactly. Since his trip through the few localities where he was not well acquainted hois safe for a big majority. Mr. l'ettvs might as well hang up his whip. At the eleventh hour, nnd having ignominiously failed in its efforts to w hitewash tiie republican ting, the Ga zette retaliates, parrot fashion, by ac cusing the democratic party of being run by a ring. If that is so, then it boss must bo Blackmail, whom the Ga zette has supported since long before the primaries. Candidates on the republican county ticket who whine about bunchgrassers "going back on them" would have men ignore the fact that they first "went back on" their comrades by becoming the weapons with which the ring would mil? pond men and bunchgi-jsr-ers. "Boodle, boodle, boodle, how potent is boodle. It blunts the intellect and blinds the sight," says the Gazette. Those who have noted the course of Bhickman's organ during the campaign will not doubt that it is fully qualified to speak advisedly on the subject. Does that account for the course of the Gazette in drooling over Black man since long before the primaries? l'erhaps Black mail's boodle is all-powerful with the Gazette, but it was not potent enough to procure even the silence of the Budget. Criminals sometimes seek to smirch those who refuse to enter the same field of "usefulness." Does the Gazette act upon that rule? At any rate, by its own admission, the readers of that paper now receive confirmation of their opinion in regard to the malady that so badly af fects its reasoning and perceptive fac ulties. Because the ringmaster could not in duce Judge William Mitchell to fix the circuit court jury list to suit him, Judge Mitchell must not be re-elected. There fore, as the ringmaster could not Jiope to control tho democratic convention, a man who would take well with the bunchgrassers must bo put on the re publican ticket to beat .Mitchell. How well this programme of the boss was carried out has been abundantly demon strated. Can conscientious and fair' men now vote the republican county ticket and help to carry out the designs of the boss ? What absurd arguments some of the republican candidates advance to sustain their unenviable position. Finding it. useless to deny the fact that their nom ination was brought about by the ring and that the ring is now supporting them, they argue that they should not be condemned for accepting what was tendered. With equal reason the re ceiver of stolen goods might plead for clemency. "The Budget lies" is the argument of the Gazette when it finds itself in a corner. As the statements of C. M. Mallory, "Republican," County Judge Mitchell and Sheriff Howard (published in this issue) and of many other honor aide gentlemen corroborate and even exceed tho Bi doet's assertions, per haps the Gazette would apply its stock argument to them also. Besides C. B. ('bank's superior quali fications for school superintendent, he is a tax-payer, a man of family and an in dustrious, enterprising citizen. In every way he highly deserves the ollice he seeks, or rather which seeks him, for it is well known that he did not solicit the nomination. If voters are concerned for the welfare of their schools they will elect Mr. Crane. CONVINCING PROOF. Boss Swinburne's Efforts to Control the Scales of Justice. Any readera of the Budget who may have doubts as to the truth of its asser tions are respectfully referred to the fol lowing statements from Judge Mitchell and Sheriff Howard. Read them and say whether you feel like voting tho republican county ticket, put up to beat incorruptible men : Tii Whom it Muti Cuneern: During the month of January, lss7, Dr. E, H. Swinburne requested a private conversation witli mo in the oijlce room of J. S. Porter's drug store, at Heppner. Ho then recited a long story about how a cer tain person with whom he hail legal trouble was then procuring information to expose er roneous and Illegal proofs by which title had been fraudulently obtained to large tracts of land In Morrow and Umatilla counties, and stated that such exposure would cause ureal cost and trouble to certain men in these coun ties who now hold said land: therefore tiiis bad loan out'lit to he put In the penitentiary, where lie could not work such schemes. This and more to the same purpose was his preface to a proposition Unit in drawing the list of jurors for the next term of the circuit court I should select the names of such men as would decicle favorably to him (Swinburne) nnd against the person so obnoxious to him, with tiie hope of sending I lie latter to the peniten tiary. In reply to his urgent solicitations I stuti'd that 1 would do nothing of the kind, hut that as a sworn member of lite court I should perform my duly strictly in accordance with the law tuid Willi exact impartiality. Among tiie cases before the circuit court at the March term were live in which tho said Dr. Swin burne was interc.-ted, and In two of the crimi nal cases he was a prosecuting witness. WM. MITCHELL, County Judge. Heitner, Or., May it, 110. To the. Krntt. rg of the Fm1qrt: Pome time in January or February. IssT, br. K. R. Swinburne did approach me. and after referring to cases then pending before the circuit court and iu which he was lute rested, he urged me to favor him iu the mailer of drawing jurors for the coming term and to draw the names of such men as were prejudiced for him and against Ills opponent, saying t lint 1 nuulit to help him ly getting the right kind of jurors for him. as that person had already caused him to be out a lot of money. He urued me stroniily to do this, hut I utterly refused to have anything to do with any dirty work, and left him. T. K. HOWARD. IlEPrNF.it, May !, 1MH). Sheriff. THE FACTS. C. L. Andrews Refutes Certain Misleading Statements. In the Gazette ot last week appeared an article signed "A llunchcrasser," purporting to give a conversation between my uncle and myself. The article Is untrue In some very important respects. Mr. A. Andrews never came and told me he was going to be or was a candidate. Mr. M. 1). Long told me that he had heard he was a candidate. I was much surprised, and told Mr. Long I thought there was some mistake, as my uncle had been In Heppner the week before and had said nothing to me about it. My uncle was In town a few days after, and I asked him, telling him what Mr. Long had raid. He said vcs. litat he had agreed to let his name come before the convention for sherilf. I asked him w hy he had not told me, and said he ought to have told me about It. (I said this because w henever I had used any ones name in con nection with nomination and In what conver sations I had had with my friends, 1 had advo cated Mr. Howard for sheritt', and It was a late time tochauge. Besides, I had agreed to allow my name to be used and my friends had been workini for me. and it was late for me to sav I would wlthdrsw. Hut had iny uncle told me sooner. I should have drawn out of I lie race, as It is not a stroke of policy for two of a family and name to try for nomination on tho same ticket. In fact . It Is a very foolish thing, wilt aid nojther. and very likely lessen the chances of both to some extent.) fie answered that it was a free country, and a man could do as he pleased. 1 did not use the language quoted in the iiiudlr, and did not in any way attempt to puiuiose nuu as ipioieu mere. Again. In regard to one of my friends going to him and saying they would defeat him. This is untrue. The man he speaks id told him he did not think lie (Mr. A.

There waa nothing Intended in any way to intimidate or bulldose nim, and could not be so construed by any one but by oue wanting to damage or tear down some one else to build up his side a. ul choosing that method of doing It. 1 have no word to say against my uncle per sonally.

May -v,, ANOTHER EYE-WITNESS. Cold Facts and Caustic Comments Pre sented in Convincing Language for Thinking Men's Consideration. For the Budget. There are but few things so disgusting as for a man or set of men, of not more than six or eight, to undertake to run the political affairs of a county or state. It is hardly tho thing, nor creditable, even when there are no unfair or foul means used by such man or set of men in order to control nominations, either in primaries or conventions. But when ever such means are used as voting drunks, hiring men to vote a certain way, hiring members of the opposite party to vote at primary meetings and always in the interest of the would-be boss, then the matter becomes insuper able. Your correspondent was at the repub lican primary held in Heppner last April and knows beyond dispute or cavil that all the latter moans were practiced by the cliquo known as Boss Swinburne & Co. ; also knows that on tho election of a chairman the respect able portion of the party had about six majority, and that as soon as the voting for delegates to tho county convention began a certain few young men rushed up and voted and tlfen out into and scoured the tow n for voters who could be relied on to veto the master's will; that more than one man was led up the court-house steps in order to vote; that democrats were upproached on the streets by those same young men in order to obtain their assistance by al lowing themselves voted in tho repub lican primary ; knows that money was offered to one democrat, and believes that it was used with others; knows that men were brought up and voted who were known to tie lite-long demo crats; that one democrat was pievented from voting who was most likely being "worked " bv those Bame immaculate young men: knows that respectable re publicans voted, remained quiet, did not rule the town tor men who could tie ur duced to come up and vote, even le gaily, thinking they were safe, in their majority. And the upshot of the whole business was that Boss Swinburne had gotten on final count a majority of two, electing six out ol nine delegates. .Mow through the balance ot power thus "honorably" ( ?) anil justly (?) obtained by this "majority" ( ?) of the republican voters of the precinct, they succeeded in flooring two of the people's choice in tho county convention for two principal ollices and in nominating just such a ticket as tho boss desired. The people know who the candidates on that ticket are. Ihey also all know through a late issue of the Budget just why the boss labored so long and so successfully to defeat Messrs. Howard and Andrews for renomination. It was because they could not oe induced to stock a jury iu the interest of the boss at a time when ho was being sued for a large amount of money as damages, claimed to have been sustained bv the plaintiff' in former suits instituted by the boss against the said plaintiu. How, knowing all these things, your correspondent and many other fair minded republicans have seen lit to positively refuse to support the said ticket; and, forget it not, we feel just that way yet, and expect to vote that way on the second day of June next. On account of our having dissented from these proceedings, and having pro claimed our opinions in the matter (a right which every American citizen has concerning politics), they have hurled at our devoted heads that dangerous and much-to-bo-dreaded weapon, nnd bug of foul wind, the Heppner Gazette (winch, thanks to the lates, lias heen entirely too soft and slushy to do much harm since it espoused the caase of the boss). That paper may get its $ol)0 from II. Black man for doing his dirty work in getting him nominated for joint senator; it may also get ifoOU or even 11,000 from the boss for trying to pull the wool over the eyes of voters iu Mor row county this election. Hut, Mr. Ga zette, are you pot aware that by apply ing such epithets as you have dining the past four weeks to a large and re spectable part of tho people who will not be led to support the boss' ticket, you may be producing a whirlpool, which nmy engulf your great and glori ous future prospects? A word to the w ise is snllicient. In conclusion I will say that when ever any hoary-headed old reptile like the boss' ticket, as obtained nnd run by the boss, pops up its head, it is high time for tho respectable community to be warned, and not only so, but to take steps to remove the unclean thing from our midst and as near as possible from our party record. Our best and only way to do this is to refuse to vote their ticket and overwhelm them in defeat, and then pet haps the boss trickster may lie on the shelf, for a few years at least. So here is my pledge, that 1 will vote for every democrat on the county ticket. Go thou and do likewise. Republic ax. Hrri'NER. Or.. May 24. 1S00.
