THE COUNTY FAIR.
This is tho question now under consid
eration by the people of this place—or a
poi tion of them at least. Two meetings
Lave been held and the ball put in mo
tion, though we are sorry to Huy that it
«loos not roll ns fast as it shou! I to make
it the success that we know must be de
sired l>v all our citizens, if considered
from nothing more than a business
standpoint. The question may be ask
ed: “ What good is there in a fair?”
This question may be answered ill few
words: It brings together for mutual
counsel tho farmer, with the product of
his labor; it places before ail the work
of the inventive genius of our country;
here will be brought together the stock
of the country that people may see and
judge of the qualities of ea<’k, thus giv
ing an opportunity for their improve
ment ; here is exhibited specimens from
the ens I of the artist; the handiwork of
the nimble-fingered seamstress—eve-v
tiling for the edification of all. Besides
this, it brings to our county from all
sei tii ns strangers who are anxious to
see what Yamhill is capable of produc
ing and exhibiting; and who knows
how many may be thus favorably im
pressed and decide to make their future
home right here in our midst.
Friends, citizens ot McMinnville, it is
fir you to say whether or not this fair
shall be held and prove successful. At
the meeting Tuesday evening the gentle
men named in another column were se-
lected as an executive board to make
arrangements for the fair to be held
sometime in September. It is to be
hoped that each and every one of them
will serve on said board and that all wi 1
be present nt the meeting to bo held at
Filemen's hall to-day at 2 o’clock p. m.
Tliev are all men of good executive
ability, and it is safe to say that they
will do their duty in a manner that will
be acceptable to all. Then let our citi
zens give them their aid and we can
have no fears of the result. “A long
pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether,”
and Yamhill will have such a fair that
will surprise even her own citizens.
A man is in honor bound, if be is a
member of a political organization, to
stand by the candidates whom his party
endorses in convention. Political organ
izations depend upon majority rnle for
existence. Ignore this rule and you de
stiny the fundamental basis of party or
ganization. A man is not an Independ
ent who refuses to subscribe to the reg
ulations of party discipline. As long as
he belongs to a party he is in honor
bound to obey the dictates of party
measures, lie can only exercise his in
dividual preferences when absolved
from party rule, He must renounce his
allegiance to party in order to become a
true Independent, ami exercise the pre
rogatives of independent action. This
is the true distim tion between the Inde
pendent voter and the voter who calls
himself independent, who belongs to a
party and yet refuses to obey the man
dates of parly behostH.
A wide and
distinctive difference which anyone can
understand w ho has the gift of plain
common sense. Call things by their
right names. Call the man w ho has ab
solved himself from party obligation an
Independent, and call the man who be
longs to a party and refuses to obey the
rules of purty rule anything you please,
Imt don’t designate him by the title
"Independent,” for it is not true and it
is great injustice to the Independent
man. Call him “kicker” and let him
go at that, for that comes nearer defin
ing his political status than any other
definition in political parlance.—Bulletin

IlOTCH POTITI
The Oregonian lias, for some days,
Is-en trying to make it appear that < or-
nelilis and Marston were beaten becacse
they were “Mitchell men” and that Me
Briile, McElroy and Baker were elected
because it was understood that they
were not Mitchell men. While we do not
purpose entering the lists as a defender
of Mr. Mitchell, we do think the Ore
gonian is mistaken, as we believe the
“Mitchell issue” did not enter into the
canvass except with a few. Cornelius
was beaten 3G00 votes while Marston
was only 1403 short. Unless some other
cause operated to produce their defeat
both slio'.ifit have received the same
vote. Again, Hermann was elected by
14.'X) majority, and he was understood
to be a friend of Mitchell, while Mc
Bride, McElroy and Bilker, w ho the Or
egonian says were understood to be an-
ti-Mitcliell men, weie elected by 3i)0,
500 and HJO majority respectively.
Pennoyer was elected as we believe,
because the floating vote of the state
thought lie more fully represented the
anti-Cliinese sentiment of this coast
than Cornelius. Marston, no doubt,
lost some votes bv being understood to
be a friend of Mitchell, but the main
cause that compassed his defeat was the
statement that the treasury of the state
had been used by a “ring” for specula
live purposes, and that lie would con
tinue that practice, while Webb would
not.
This leads us to say that too many of
our voters aie influenced in casting
their ballots by captions assertions,
meaningless platitud -s and glittering
generalities, dealt out to them in plat
forms, by the public press, and on the
stump by artful politicians. “The Chi
nese must go” was the slogan that ral
lied the masses to the support of l’en-
noyer, although a moment’o reflection
would suggest the fact that the governor
has no more right or authority to drive
out the Chinese than the humblest c ti
zen. “Smash tho ring” which was
shouted everywhere by the democrats
and their allies, no doubt influenced
some votes, and yet no thoughtful man
could fail to see that it was the rogue’s
cry of “stop thief” raise<l by "ringlead"
ers from’way back” to hide their own
nefarious schemes. “Marston will spec
ulate with the state funds,” but of course
Webb can afford to leave his business
in Eastern Oregon, and move to Salem
and conduct the treasurei’s office for
$800 a year.
The failure of the democratic majority
in congress to agree on the tariff. silver
and currency, and various other sub
jects, illustrates the diflculties that sur
round a party that acquires power by
making brilliant promises without hav
ing any definite idea how these promis
es are to bo fulfilled. If they had given
the people a little more now with the
superabundance of wiiat dealt out when
canvassing for oflice, a better agreement
would have been had among themselves
when elected, and then constituents
would have had an opportunity to pass
on the means to lie employed as well as
on the end desired. When officers are
elected through tree use of “glittering
generalities” without suggesting the
how, many of even their own party are
certain to be disappointed.
Under the above heading the Nation
al Republican, of Washington, D. ('.,
speaks in glowing praise of Hon. Binger
Hermann, in the following manner:
The fii»t congressman elected to the
Fiftieth congress is Hon. Binger Her
mann, of Oregon, who, fiom the latest
returns, is re-elected bv 1000 plurality,
which it is expected may bo increased
to 1500 plurality on tiie official count.
Mr. Hermann did not seek the nomi
nation, remained at his post of duty,
exerted no effort for his re-election, but
left all to the people. ' He has been one
of the industiious, ever-working mem
bers cf congress. While, as yet. not
often on the floor and heard in debate,
bis characteristic is in quiet, determined,
active work. One of the results of this
fidelity to Ids state is seen in the gener
ous attention of congress to the Oregon
waterways and her internal improve
ments. Mr. Hermann’s record and his
vote and voice have so far been on the
side of the people—against fraudulent*
land grants and grasping monopolies,
and the best moral and materia) ad
vancement of all public interests, state
or national. Oregon has shown admiia-
ble wisdom as well as good policy in re
turning her tried member, as 'tis de
monstrated that those states with expe
rienced and continued representation
are the largest beneficiaries of congress
ional legislation.
Mr. Hermann was born at Lonaconing.
Alleghany county, Mil., February 16,
1843, educated in the free schools of
wectern Maryland and the Independent
academy (afterward Irving college), near
Baltimore city. He removed to Oregon,
taught school, and at the same time-
studied law, and was admitted to the
bar of the supreme court of the state in
1866, and has practiced continually since
that time, lie entered polities tho same
year of his entry into the practice of
law, and was elected to the assembly
from Douglas county in 1866, and subse
quently was state senator until 1868.
He was appointed deputy collsctor of
United States internal revenue for south
ern Oregon, and served from 1868 to
1871, when President Grant appointed
him receiver of public moneys at the
United States land oflice at Roseburg,
Or., which place he held until 1873. Mr.
Hermann has been largely interested in
shipping and lumber manufactuiing on
the southern Oregon coasts and rivers.
He was judge advocate with the rank of
colonel in the Oregon state militia from
1882-4, and was elected to the present
congress as a republican.
The recent citv election in Portland
convinces us that the“good men” of that
place need a moral earth quake to wake
them up to a sense of their duty. When
Dick Gerdes can be elected a law maker
votes must be cheap and good men
scarce.
