THE Evidence AccrMrLATAs.-Rcad the fol-
lowing letter from Mr.. White relating to Gar
fcldes loyalty and honesty:
OLYMPIA, w. T., May %, 1869.
Ed. STANDARD: The following facts in refer
cnce to Mr. Garfeldc's Republican principles, as
well as his honesty Us Surveyor General will
speak for themselves. In january. 1867, before the
adjournment Of the legislature, went, at the i'll
stance Of his Chief Clerk, to see Mr. tarfcde about
obtaining surveying contract, to which he readily
consented with this reservation: That was I"

was glad that the South defended themselves 50

BEWARE or RooHrAc1s.--Thc enemies ofGov.
Moore, despairing Of success by Legitimate
means, are trying to make votes for Gariicldc,
by rcsoring to the use of the grosscst false
hoods and misrepresentation. II would be
useless to attempt to prove their fhlsity.
No sooner do you prove Gariiclic to have ut
tered willfnl, palpablc lie, than he or his
friends abandon that one aud coin another.
The latest is that Gov. Moore was discharged
from the army for dsloyalty. Common sense
ought to teach every one that this is false, still
we will take the trouble to state u few facts.
LIST, Gov. Moore, entered the service on the
first call for three months, volunteers, joining
the 18th Regiment Ohio Volunteers, afterwards
rose to Col. of the Goth Regiment Ohio vo!un-
tecrs, and took command OF brigade, was pro-
noted to a Brigadicr-Gcneralship after the bat
tic OfJoncshorough, and afterwards resigned
from effects of wound received in battle of
Mission Ridge, and ON tho 18th day of July
1865, was further promoted by n Brcvct Major
Gcncralship, for gallantry and mcritorious SER
vices during the war.

OF The Republican produces another witness, F.
Dyer, who tcstihcs to Garfcldcs loyalty, and says
Of himself:
AS yon we'll remember, was what some people
would call seceSsiOniSt while in CarboO, and have
changed but very little SINCE"
This is paradcd as a reason why this witness is
entitled to the confidence Of the Union party. In
the same column he seeks to discrcdit another wit
ness who has testified against Mr.. Garfcldc, thus:
1.-THE man Isaac W. Smith, upon whose tcsti.
mony the dcfalcaton Islander in the last STANDARD
is based, left Olympia in 1869, went South and
joined the rebellion aud fought through the war for
jeff. Davis and the Southern Confcdcracy"
This is on the italian system of pcnmanship, the
heavy strokes up and the light ones down.

ter written by delegate to the Democratic Terri
torial Convention, dated Chchalis Point on the L. tn

men. They are well satisfied with the nomination
and say that Pacific county shall no longer be the
"banncr county " for Radicalism. The nomination

ArrAcK ON Mn. SrEELE.-The Port Town
send Message, Of this " eek, contains II william
Gus attack on Mr.. II. N. Steele, descending to
the lowest depth Of bitter personalities. The
facts contained in Mr.. Steele letter are, how.
ever, undenied, simply because Of their truth.
The charge that Mr.. Steele "gave Eve hundred
dollars and his personal influence to pack Of
secession robbers to come over md seize the
Revenue Cutter, Joe Lane, and convert her in
to privatcer," is doubtless false; but if true,
then Mr.. Garielde must have known all about
it at the time, and was, no doubt the biggest
knare in the pack. Mr.. Garieldc was the legal
adviser and attorney of the pack referred to,
and if his name was not on the list, it was
more because of his cOwardice than patriotic
feeling for his country.

PrGEr Souxp AND Cont Mia RIVER RAILROAD.
The Gnriielde worshippcrs arc charging that
Gov. Moore is opposed to building railroads,
and this is being used to effect the election in
Clark county. The Clark county orignators
of the scheme for Railroad between Puget
Sound and the Columbia river, did not enter
tain that opinion. We have before us an as
Segment from the original inrorporators of the
:. Puget Sound aud Columbia River Railroad
Company of IN equal interest with them
selves, in said Corporation, to 7. J. Mckinney,
T.. l.. Smith. August \. Schachcn, and N. +.
Moore The paper is dated in October 1868,
and signed hyS. Brown, l.. Sohns. $. ID. Maxon,
4 q. Cook and Levi Fa,msworth. The truth is
that no man in the Territory has taken more
intcrcs, in promoting Railroad communication
between Puget Sound aud the Columbia river
than Gov. Moore, and no one thought Of qucs-
tiuning his services in the matter until he came
up rs the Democratic candidate for Delegate.

orratic platform has been published in every issue
of our paper except one since the Territorial Con-
vention. and then the omission was not BY design.
Fortunately, many Of Watson's lies, like himself,
carry with them evidence ofthcir own baseness

The Puget Mill Company.

This is the monopoly whose coils are to be
dreaded by the industrial interests Of WASH
ington Territory. a train of circumstances
fixes it as fact that Sclncins Garficldc is the
candidate Of that monopoly. First, he is the
Attorney Of the Company; second, the Com
pany is taking u very active part in endcavor-
ing to secure his election, sending its cmssa-
rics all over the Territory; lending its steam
crs, and lavishly expanding its money for that
purpose. These facts, with the additional cir
cumstance, priviously given to the public, that
this Company has already entered 800, 900
acres Of timbered lands upon the Sound, and
still has its agents making selections in every
direction, leave no doubt Of its intention to
crush out every smaller interest and take the
whole numbering business into its own hands.
The well known fact that it has already CONF
mcnced the importation and employment of
Chinese labor, also indicates another of the
means by which this monopoly is to be con-
sdmmatcd.
Loggcrs Of Puget Sound! If you cannot see
the danger with your own eyes, take warning
from those whose pursuits give them better
knowledge, and whose interests are identical
with your own. Consider that every one of
the less powerful milling companies regard this
overgrown monopoly as their common enemy,
and that they all unite in opposing the cleo
ton of its Attorney, SeMcius Gariclde, TO
represent it in Congress. Remember this, and
protect yourselves before it is too late.

The County Ticket.

The Democratic p,rty have been exceedingly
fortunate in the selection of their tickctin this
county. 1t embraces some of our oldest resi-
dents, men of sterling Integrity. we'll qualified
for the several positions which they have been
selected to fill. NJ
Mr.. Lane, the candidate for Prosecuting At.
torncy for the I'll Judicial District, Il man In
whom the people can place implicit trust. lie
has lived in the Territory since long before its
organization as such. Were he as well known
elsewhere rs here, he would receive almost an
unanimous vote.
For Representatives, we have in Mcssrs.
Shelton aud GoOdcll as well "a in Mr.. Fry, the
Joint member with Chehalis, the proper mate
rial for legislators. They are men who will
afford very favorable contrast with their Ra-
ical competitors in this respect, one Of whom
lacks experience, and the other two the conf
dence Of their party.
Probably the most bitter opposition Of n por-
tion Of the Radical! party will he made against
our candidate for Auditor, Mr.. Turpin, and
this should arouse new zeal among his party
associates in his behalf. lie has made conn
potent and faithful officer, and deserves the
warmcSt support OF his friends.
Our friend Ben" is II general f,vortc. If
he has enemies, we don't know who they are.
lie is tminen'ly qualified for Treasurer, is
honest and responsible. He will have nm easy
victory. lfhis competitor had exhibited, IN
times past, less desire to secure a - mOncycl
Office he isht have stood II better chance.
The $500 that Sargent hal to p,y when Mum
son was Deputy Postmaster, will not help the
latter in his aspirations.
Mr.. Drewry for Shcriffis probably the strong
est and best nomination for that office that
could he made. Dave has the confidence and
respect of all who know him.
Onr candidates for County Commissioners
Mcssrs Chambers. Ynnts and Griffin, are the
right men for the right place. Since their
nomination the Radicals have changed their
ticket twice, finding it difficult to select cand-
dates who would run against them.
Probably there is not Il man in the county but
soon rs election is over. That he will beat
cver-a>piring Bigclow is the hope and wish Of
many outside his own party.
M. Henry for Surveyor has our hearty sup
port. We know him we'll. a firm friend, Il
Jealous and conscientious partisan, he is cnti-
tied to the vote Of every man who cherishcs
the principles OF Constitutional Government.
For Coroner, we have Mr.. Yengcr. lie is u
Il man to count ON, politically and otherwise
In conclusion, we enjoin upon our party he
necessity Of an active effort in this contest.
The ticket is II good one, and should receive n
most cordial and united support. We believe
it will have it, and hence predict triumph at
the polls week from next Monday.
