CHANGED HIS TACTICs.-In his
speeches in the Sound country
10. Raynor declared that he was
Gin favor of a prosecution of the
war until the last niger in the

Letter from the Sound. %

II ... III AITSAP, Co., June 70, 1905.
EDS STATESMAN A few copies of
your paper, of the 9th inst. arrived at this
place by the last mail. AS we have no
Democratic paper on this side Of the noun
tains we were glad TO receive it. George
E. Cole, the Democratic candidate and
Rev. j. o. Raynor, the Republican candi-
date, arrived here on Saturday and spoke
TO an audience of some sevcnty-fve per-
sons Mr.. Cole satisfied the people that
he is not only an unconditional Union man
and sound Democrat, but a man of sufi-
cent business tact and ability to represent
the interest of the Territory in the halls of
our National Legislature. .Raynor's speech
was of the stormy preacher style--a great
deal of noise with but very little sense, -
He did not explain his former ''posish" so
as to satisfy the people here that he was
sound when the war broke out. He took
the extreme Abolition view and will there
fore secure the support of the abolition
lists; but no unconditional Union man
will vote for him The Democracy here
are all Union men, but they are for Con-
StitutionaI Union, and not despotism.-
The Democracy will unite cordially in the
support Of George E. Cole, the Democrat
ic nominee. This precinct (Tukilet) will
give a small Democratic majority. The
county is claimed by the Republicans, and
may give small majority for Raynor-
but net more than say ten or fifteen votes.
All the counties north of here will give
Democratic majorites, so that you can
safely count upon majority for the dem
ocratic candidate in the Sound counties
Raynor preached on Sunday in the fore
noon and spent the afternoon in private
electioneering but with little or no effect.
Yours, &c, LIBERTY AND UNION.

ting for Delegate you vote for a PRINCIPLE.
If you think the present policy pursued by
the Administration is wise and will best pro-
mote the welfare ofthe nation, vote for Tur-
ney or Raynor. If you believe the present
policy of the Administration Should be
changed to democratic views, vote for Geo
E. Cole i IS necessary that we should vote
our sentiments here, as they do in the States
so that the Administration may know the
will of the people, and it can then act in
accordance with the will Of the majority.

A Low BLACKGUARD.-Together with
the fact that he is two-faced in poll
i:ics, Rev. 10 Raynor, in an allusion he
made to the STATESMAN, in his speech
here on the 4th, convinced the audience
that he is also lov dirty blackguard. In
an attempt at wit, which had not even
the merit of originality, he descended into
the lowest depth of vulgarity, and caused
his hIgher-minded friends TO blush in very
shame. His lOw-fung language fell short
of its intended effect, and with all who
heard him, we can only pity the weakness
that induced him TO SO disgrace his pro-
fession. If, in becoming politician, he
so soon forgets what he claims his "high
calling" and lays aside the sacred princi-
pies that should govern him as minister
of the gospel, how can those whom he calls
upon to support him for the Delegateship
expect that he would not in the same man
ner disregard the trust he asks them to re-
pose in him. Verify, if be thus bellies
himself in the one position is it not reason
able to expect that he is dishonest in all
things?

Letter from the Land officers.

EDS. STATESMAN Having learned
that there is talk on the street that we are
using the Land Office for political purposes
and that we intend to take from the peo-
pie largely in excess of the legitimate ex-
penses incurred by our visit here, we
simply desire to say at this time, that we
came here to accommodate the people ex-
clusively, and came at this time because it
was the only time that we could come be-
fore the land sales-which occur on the Sd
of August. We have neither time nor de-
sire 10 prostitute our Office to political pur-
poses, nor will we consent to any such
thing. If Mr., Parker (who is rendering
us some assistance in the matter of collec-
ton, and who for convenience, and to pre-
vent confusion occupies another room,
talks to his fellow citizens about politics
and more than he ought to, we suppose il
is because he is candidate himself We
cannot be present ourselves and hope the
people will hold him responsible for his
actions and not us. He is undoubtedly
capable of speaking for himself ,ro .u
With regard to expenses, we have sim
ply to add that we are specially directed by
the Department to collect of the applicants
the entire amount Of our expenses and we
have no authority to do more. We have
had nothing whatever to do with the meth
cd which has been adopted for the colec-
ton of these expenses On the conclusion
of our official duties here (end we intend
to serve the citizens as faithfully as we
know how we mean to accept sum
sufficient TO cover all expenses as nearly as
we can ascertain them, and no more If
there should be a balance as we think there
will be, we shall only receive it, or any por-
ton of it, at the expressed desire of the
contributors and by permission of the de-
partment. S. w Brown, Receiver.

Ravnor's Veracitv.

While canvassing the Sound country,
RaynOr admitted that the charge Of being
''wishy washy" at Oregon City, was true,
but excused himself on the plea that this
statement was made before the commence
ment of the war-between the time of the
Presidential election and the Inauguration
of Mr.. Lincoln. This statement he made
on the stump throughout the Sound coun-
try. When the candidates arrived at Van
couver, Mr.. Cole was furnished the proof
by those who heard him at Oregon City
fixing the time in July tloO gears ago This
he charged upon Raynor, showing conclu-
sively to the audience that Raynor had lied
about the time; and instead of its being
prior to the commencement of the war, ii
1gas during the ,oar Raynor tried also to
play himself off as school teacher, and
not preacher; but caught In that ''fb"
he had to back down. Like Peter who
denied his master, "his speech betrayed
him" or a-~
Raynor also denied being a candidate
for School Superintendent of Clark county
one year ago in opposition to the Demo-
cratic candidate-said sit was two years
ago." but when proof was furnished, con-
victing him of the falsehood, he said that
he could not recolisct whether it was one
or two years a5o-notwithstanding he was
in Oregon city two years ago and not in
Clark county until after the meeting of the
Conference, which met in August, assign
ing him to the Vancouver circuit.
We have testimony in our possession
(some of which is from prominent mem
bers of his own church) conyicting him of
all the charges above stated-which the
Rev. gentleman and his friends can see if
so disposed.
