"May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart bo always ac ceptable unto thee, oh, Boss.'' The Organ's Offering. It is expected that several republican and democratic candidates will bo in Lexington to-morrow night and speak on the political issues. Stand by J. L. Gibson for justice of the peace and D. A.

He had a handsome specimen of goid quartz from the Little Laura mine, which gives encouraging prospects and may lead to a good body of ore. Yesterday morning, below lone, Rob ert Young's saddle horse became fright ened at the train, and Mr. Young's left leg was badly lacerated by being raked along a barbed wire, the saddle only saving him from more serious results.

After accusing the democratic party in this county of being jun by a ring, the Gazette asks the BmioiiTto name the bosses of that ring. At the present time the Bl'dokt is attending to the repub lican ring, which it has ventilated pretty thoroughly. If the Gazelle has discov ered a mare's nest, it ought to bo able 10 count me eggs tor itself. " OPEN-HANDED" BLACKMAN. An Instance in Which He Exhibited Hi True Colors, The following iuelileiit, which la no cam paign canard, hut can bo proven, admirably illtiKtrutec certain charauturici of a man who now fairly achon to represent the people of three comities In tlicvtate lojiMiiture: Two years ago next mouth a well-known citizen of this county, of unuuetlihHblc In tegrity, noting the distress and damage caused Jy the cyclone, related the circumstance to a merchant of llciipncr and mihkiMciI a sub scription for the relief of the sullerers. The merchant thereupon drew up a lu'sding. to which they both subscribed, and the tlrst kcii tleman began firciiliitiiiK the paper. When be bad obtained about cinht subscriber! to it lie presented it to Henry lllaekman and requested bis signature. Mr. Hlaeltniim asked by whose authority the paper was circulated, and was answered by the person presenting it that be did it on his own responsibility because the money was needed by the suirerers. In a way Unit carried with it the iuriiiuaiion that lie doubted the gentleman's probity, blackmail asked bow t be subscribers were to know' that (lie money was proerly handled, lie wus an swered that it w ould be distributed by a com mittee appointed at Lexington or Heppner, as the subscribers desired, blackmail lllcii akeJ by the paper was not brought to him llrst, and refused to sign it. The gentleman then passed the paper around town, and soon had nearly :ino subscribed. A he was preparing to start for Lexington, Blackmail called him into bis store and desired to see tile list ugain, and after carefully reading the names sub scribed, aked if there was am' objection to his placing his name at the head of the list, in view of the previous convcrsaliou that itues tion brought an emphatic refusal, Thereupon Mr. Blackmail squeezed his name In between the first and second on the list as contributing 10 In merchandise! The gentleman afterward related the circum stance to a prominent business man of Hepp ner, when the latter smiled and said, 'When we want to raise money by subscription we always go to lllaekman first, and lie usually writes a good sura opposite bis name for the honor of being at the head." Tills Incident was related by a gentleman of honor and high standing in the county, who gave full permission to use his name as au thority for It. And Ulackman is the man who now talks so sweetly and blandly to voters In the bone of wheedling theui into teudiug him to the legis lature! A MAN OF HICH STANDING. The following unsolicited letter, re ceived by a prominent citizen of Morrow county from T. G. Hendricks, presi dent of the Lugene First national bank, shows the standing of Mr. Matlock in Lane county: Omci or First Xatioxai Bank, Kiueke, Or, May IS, IH'.O. Dp.ar Pir: I ice that the democrats of your county hare nominated Mr. J. W. Matlock for county treasurer. Mr. Matlock formerly lived here. I have known him from childhood. He is a man of honor and high standing here, as every mau in this county will attest, regardless of party. With such a man as i. W. Mattock elected treasurer, the funds of Morrow county would be perfectly safe and secure without bonds. Alt bis old friends here congratulate him and wish him success. Yours truly, T. G. HENUltRKS. NO MAN'S DUMMY. For the Bi doct. A report having been set afloat to the effect that I am running for the office of county clerk for the benefit of some one else, I wish to state positively and distinctly that if elected I will give my personal attention to the duties of the office and discharge the same to the best of my ability. I ain no man's dummy. In this connection I wish also to say most emphatic ally that I have not pledged the deputysbip to any person whatever, nor have I given any one reason to expect it. J. W.

For the Hi-duct. As much as I dislike to take any pub lic part in political wrangles, I am prompted, upon the repeated solicita tions of republicans who were not pres ent at the county convention, to write a plain statement of facts concerning the proxy that was voted out of the conven tion and of which much has been said. A proper explanation of this matter must necessarily involve the proposition that has already been made, privately and through the columns of the IU'Dokt, that the convention was conducted in the in terest of a ring and was not a fair rep resentation of a majority of the repub licans of Morrow county. I hope, how ever, in making these statements to adhere strictly to facts and inferences that are straight and conclusive, and to avoid anything savoring of personal prejudices. the pkoxv nrsiNEss Was like this: On the day of the con vention and after it had adjourned pre paratory to permanent organization, it first canio to my knowledge that the Well Spring delegate, Wallace Smead, being unable to attend and being afraid to trust his proxy in the hands of his colleague, D. K. Jay tie, telegraphed it from Castle Rock to Dr. Vaughn, of this place, who was known to bo opposed to the renomination of Howard for sheriff and C. L. Andrews for clerk. Now, I had been told that Well Spring precinct was almost unanimously in favor of those gentlemen for sheiilf and clerk, and im mediately determined to stand otf this telegraphic proxy, which certainly had the appearance of unfairness, by asking Mr. Edgar S. Barnes, of Castle Rock precinct (and the only republican in the precinct), to telegraph mo his proxy. This he did, and in half an hour 1 had a straight, Bipiare, valid proxy from Mr. Barnes, authorizing me to cast a vote for him in the convention. This all occurred after the committee on credentials had prepared their report, and consequently was not included in it. At 1 o'clock the convention was called to order by Chair man Scott, and forthwith the committee on credentials submitted their report. A motion to adopt was made, whereupon 1 presented my authority for casting the Castle Rock vote, and asked that it be added to the repott as an amendment. Then what? Mil. FKI.I. JIMI'KI) VP And stated that as there was no primary held in Castlo Hock precinct he didn't think the vote was a fair one and was opposed to admitting it (and made other statements concerning it, which will be referred to later). Mr. Ellis took the floor and sanctioned what Mr. Fell had said. This naturally btirred up a feeling that was hard to control, and a little dis cussion followed. The ground taken in support of the amendment was as fol lows: First In the published appor tionment of delcgatoD to the county con vention llio precinct of Castle Rock is said to he entitled to one delegate at large. Second 15. S. Barnes, being the only republican in the precinct, was pos itively the only one authorized to act as that delegate. Third The matter of holding a primary in this case would have been simply impossible, and those who presented such argument evidently knew that it amounted to nothing but cheap talk. Fourth If Mr. Barnes was the proper and authorized delegate fiom Castle Rock ho had the same right to telegraph his proxy to whom ho pleased that Mr. Smead had to telegraph his proxy to Dr. Vaughn. After this talk the motion on the amendment was put and lost. A motion was then oll'cred to the eth'ct tliut for the same reason that the Castle Rock proxy had been rejected, the Well Spring proxy by telegraph to Dr. Vaughn he also rejected. This motion was lost by exactly the same vote that the other was. Till! DIVIDING USE. Having explained what action was taken in the proxy business, it is neces sary to consider incidents to arrive at the motives that prompted such action. It is well known that the dividing line between the two parts or sides taken in the republican primaries and conven tion was simply the question of renomi nation of Howard and Andrews as against some one else. I say as against "some one else," as the point seemed to he more to beat these men than to place any particular persons in their place. Now. I shall take the position that there did exist a ring or combina tion fonneil mostly in the interest of one petsoti, namely, Dr. Swinburne. Some one says, ".Mister, yon are going too far ; this is preposterous," etc., etc. Let's see. I was at the Heppner primary and also at the convention. I had talks ut dilTorent times with republicans from various parts of the county, and, from what I have been able to learn, about the only person that wanted to beat Howard for slierilf bait was the said Dr. Swin burne. All others who were opposed to him offered no excuse except the "third term." It has been publicly asserted that this individual wanted to "knock Howard out" because he (Howard) re fused to fix a jury for him in some case he was interested in before the court. Whether this is true or not, the circum stances go to prove that something of that nature did exist. In conversation with Mr. Kliis previous to the meeting of the convention lie told me that while Mr. Arthur Andrews was his choice for sheriff, that he was making "no fight against Howard;" That Howard had made a good sheriff, etc., etc. Mr. Fell also stated to me that K. S. Cox, of Hardman, was his first choice for sheriff, but that Mr. Howard was bis second; that he had nothing to say against Howard; that he had made a good slierilf, and if Cox couldn't get it, he would like to see Howard re-nominated, etc. Presuming the statements from these gentlemen to be their true sentiment, very strong op position was not looked for against Howard from them. Now let's go back to the Heppner primary. The vote for chairman showed a majority of four or five in favor of Howard and Andrews. As soon ns the primary was permanently organized Mr. Ellis moved that the voting be allowed to remain open an hour, in order to allow all to vote. This was carried, and the minority immediately dispatched messengers to call in every man that could bo found who would cast a vote for the list of delegates they had pre pared. There would have been nothing particularly wrong about this, provided they had only called in proper voters, but they gathered in democrats, illegal voters, etc., etc., until, when the vote was counted, they had more than half the representation in the convention on their side, put there by four or five votes that were not proper votes to be cast in a republican convention. There fore we say it was a minority vote of legal republican voters that gave Heppner precinct a majority in the county con vention, and this thing was WOKKBO BY SWIXnUKNB AM) II1S AIDKH. So far so good. We are creditably in formed that Eight Mile precinct was worked by a process of voting by accla mation that defeated the ends of justice and brought an unfair representation from Unit place. But tho Heppner del egation was sufficient to give tho ling a majority in the convention, and we have seen how that was obtained. Let's now go to the convention and examine a little more into the matter there. It was rather amusing as well as black on its face to see Uncle Tommy Scott after he had been elected tem porary chairman by acclamation, on motion of Mr. Ellis, and was ready to appoint tho various committees. Mr. Fell moved that a committee of five be appointed on credentials. Uncle Tommy deliberately drew from his vest pocket the list of committees that had been fixed for him and read off the names. Mr. Ellis was next to call for a commit tee of live on order of business. The same performance was repeated, as was also done on the motion of Mr. Arm strong for a committee on permanent organization. Now how did Mr. Scott know lirst, that ho would be tempo rary chairman ; second, that there would he just three committees called for; and third, that these committees would consist of just five each? Don't it look a little odd, and don't it savor a little of a ring? Now again to that odious proxy. We claim that MHSSItS. FEI.I, AND EM.1S WOHKKI) HARD, And did things in order to carry their point in that convention that they would not have done if there was no other motive than, as they stated to mo, a simple preference for the nominee for sheriff. Thera must have been some thing back. To carry his point, Mr. Fell stated that be had been offered the Castle Rock proxy, and as ho did not consider it a fair vote he did not accept it. I have been creditably informed that he wrote to Mr. Barnes for the proxy ; but as Mr. B. was not acquainted with Mr. Fell, be simply did not reply. Another thing stated in the convention by Mr. Fell was that there was a mes sage at the depot authorizing anyone that chose to cast the Castle Rock vote for Mr. Barnes. I was told a day or two later, by one who ought to know, that such a message Imd not been received there, I cannot accuso Mr, Fell of de liberate falsehood, as I have always helil him in higher esteem; but I do think that his connection with the little combination was such as to render him over-zealous, and he simply strained a point in trying to serve his backers faithfully. WAS IT ON THE SllAKK? In voting upon this proxy a promi nent member of the convention arose to vote in the affirmative, but before the nays could bo culled one of the leaders moved to reconsider, as he noticed that one man voted yea whom ho was sure would have voted the other way if he had understood the motion. This was put a second time, and it went all right. I am told by one who said ho saw, that one of our prominent citizens, a delegate unfortunately on the ring side, got up to vote yea on the same question, when one of the leaders pulled him down by tho coat tail. Now is there anything iii this to indicate that a combination had been formed to "knock out Howuid and Andrews, and did they succeed, and are the ones chosen to take their places the choice of the people or of the ring? And if they are elected, should we ex pect them to Berve us as faithfully as the present incumbents, or do we think they would return the favor to those who put them there in the place of these men whom they could not use? Our esteemed citizen" M r. J. S. Voting, of Eight Mile, was offered the assessor ship by tho combination and at the sarno timo was incidentally informed that "they" wanted to "knock Howard and Andrews." Mr. Young holdy stated that he was very well satislied with those men and would nutopppose them. Whereupon Mr. Young was immedi ately dropped not because he was an unlit man nor in every way qualified for tho position, but just because be would not "stand in." In conclusion, I shall explain as best I can HOW THIS MATTER AI'PEAHS To me, and ask for this communication a sober consideration only. It seems that Dr. Swinburne being about the only man in the county that had de clared ho would knock Howard out (for reasons already stated), and this being the principal point at issue between the two factions, the said Dr. 8. must neces sarily be the very head of the combina tion formed to carry the county conven tion. Mr. Ellis having no special in terest in defeating Mr. Howard, as he had previously explained to me, wan willing to, and I may add did, sacrifice to some extent his own enviable reputa tion by opposing the admission in the convention of a proxy that he knew to he a valid and honorable vote, simply because it fell into the hands of one whom he believed would support Mr. Howard for sheriff. Why did he do this? Was it not because Dr. H. was a good personal friend of his, and he wanted to do what be could to help him carry his point? Mr. Fell told the writer that Mr. Howard was his second choice for sheriff, and yet he also opposes the vote because it fell into tho hands of a Howard delegate, and even went so far as to make misstatement in the con vention to carry bis point. If he did not do this to help Dr. H. floor Howard, what did he do it for? Again, the Smead proxy came to Dr. Vaughn, an A 1 man, by the way, but a particular personal friend of Dr. S., and who willingly did what ho could for him in return for favors granted. If this was not planned, how did it happen that way? It seems to me that this will show how the com bination or ring started, and the matter could be traced clear through the ma jority of the convention, which was con ducted IN THE INTEREST OP J)R. SWlNIlt'RNE, Though I believe that a portion of this majority did not realize that they were working in the interest of any one rnan or set of men. I ventnro the assertion that every man in tho convention be lieved that tho Castle Rock proxy should have been admitted. I have talked with several that voted against it, and have yet to find the first man to say that.it was fair to reject it. Then why did the majority vote nay? Jnst be cause they went there with" the distinct understanding that they were to oppose the Howard and Andrews side, regard less of right or wrong. In other words they went to the convention as dele gates of the Swinburne ring, and they did their duty well. There is good rea son to believe (as before stated) that the majority in the convention represented the minority of the republicans in Mor row county, nnd that the candidates placed in nomination there if elected will be under obligations to Dr. Swin burne and his associates. With all kindly feeling personally to ward every man in or connected with tho republican convention, and wishing tho party Bticcess in all mutters of a po litical nature and a speedy reform in all affairs of local interest, I am, respectfully, C. M. Mai.i.ory. IlEi'i'.NEK, liny as, 1890. MODERN CHRONICLES. , CHAPTER IV. And hi'lioUl. on the morrow, when he arose and Went forth to his shop, he was full of trouble. Feiir ami doubt fell upon hiin, nnd his soul wus very heavy. Then lie began to reason thus: "Why stand I hero idle all the day? Yea, verily, I must 'git up and it' ere It is too late." Ho he went and Mood i;i bio shop door, that he might hail the ptisserR by. Then said lie, "Heboid, verily.it behooveth me to hide my troubled xoul from the- tome of men.

Ah, mine friend, you should buy your goods of '.Mayor Jilaek- And behold, while he yet spnke, there passed by on the other side one from the ri'Kloi. of Dry Fork, which is in the land of IliiuebKrass. Hiin hailed he also, saying. "Dearly beloved, come thou over, for 1 long to speak with thee." And when the man had come over, the Mavor spake thus: "Verily my soul rejoieeth that mine eves are permitted to behold thee once more, the sight of thee is as a well of water to a thirsty man. Kelah! I know thou art from the dry country, where little rain fallcth, where the sun pareheth the ground and the grass with ereth; of a truth thou hast much need of water. Do thou but go, gut all the dwellers in lry Fork and tho brethren that dwell in the regions round about to vote for me and make me Sen ator, and I will say unto the legislature, J)o thU make an appropriation to dig artesian wells for my Moved, pcoj.de in Buuchrasj;; and behold, it shall bo so. Yea, 1 shall smite the rtvi-jf. with an auger, and the waters shall giiNh forth. Then shall the pearly streams Ilow thronnh thy pastures, the sparkling waters cover thy k ralultelde , thy Hocks and thy cattle shall graze in grass to their knees, and all the waste places shall blossom like the rose.

Then as the man journeved on his way he thought hi this w ise: "(let thee Ik hind me.

Hast thou not hoiuttcd, O, vain rnun, that we HuuchgrHss ers are but as merchandise in thy hands, to be bought and sold t thy bidding, and that a spool of barbed wire and a side of bacon is the highest price paid for any of us?" After the Lord Mayor had abode In the city some live flays longer he arose early on the morrow and made a long journey into the hill country and to the region of John )nv. And as he juurueyed a deep fear fell upon'him, so much so that he smote his breastand cried out, "Woe Ik me if I am defeated; yea, verily verily ami undone if I fail to be Senator, lletter 1 bad died a poor peddler; for my soul yearuelh for this olliee, that nieu may do me homage and thai the sons of men may bow dow it and wor ship me; and the On ioni'u will announce my arrival thus, '.Senator Klaekmau is in the city Itul let me not be cast down; for it behooveth me to hasten on my way so that I may reacli Hamilton ere it Is too htt- for the May ball, and when the spirit inoveth me I will arise and fiance before the assembled multitude, that they may rie up and cull me blessed; for all men know that my feet are better (mined ami more skilled than mv poor empty lililc head." And as he journeyed he visjh-d many phiees, and when the people wen; gathered around to see the fun he would rise up and cry out: "O, ye of little faith, hearken unto myuords. I want lobe Henator mighty bad; yea, verily, I long for It, and that longing hlh-th my whole being, yea, even my body, soul, boots and breeches. Do thou but make me Senator, and I will make of you a great ami rnightv people. 1 will say unto the Htnte, 'Hnlld roads for my beloved people In (irnnt county' and It shall be done.

All through the John Hay country I will have mae adamied roads, and sidewalks. Yea, verllv, I will tunnel these lofiy mountains, 1111 up the low places and smooth the rough ones.

All these and much more do 1 promise you; yea. verily, 1 promise you any thing and everything if you will but vote for me and make me Henator. (And when 1 him elected I shall smile at your eredulity.j" And behold, while, he abode among these sons of men they fed bin vanity mid Haltered bis cKntMn; and w hen he hud departed they laughed to scorn hi vain boastings and false promhc. It eamo to pass many times HihI these sons of men dhl ask tho would-be Hmutor his views on the political issues of the dav, sort lo, he al ways answered thus: "Heloved hroihreti.

And behold, many sly winks and meaning smile were passed around among the brethren as I hey listened to this empty-pated politician. Here eudeth the fourth chapter. "Veni, Vidi"-But Didn't Capture.
