involved in the results of the COM

During the present canvass the
fact has been brought to the surface
that our Democratic Governor,
Grover, who is now stumping the
State for q reelection. is defaulter
to the Willamette Woolen Mills,
Salem, in $4,000. When Hon.
Joseph S. Smith resigned the
Superintendency Of the William
ette Woolen Mills, L. F. Grover
was appointed to the place. At
that time shares of the stock were
hard to obtain at $500 per share.
Immediately after Growers assump-
tion Of the duties Of the office, the
salaries Of the officers OF the Company
were materially increased, Growers
salary being increased to the hand
some figure Of $4,000 per annum.
After holding the office of Superin-
tcndent for about three years Grover
resigned, when an investigation into
the affairs Of the Company showed
that there had been gross misman-
agement, and that the shares OF the
Company had gone down to $500
per share. The investigation also
proved that Grover, without
authority, had used $4,000 Of the
Compsny's tund-that he was de-
faulter to that amount. How does
this read for honestly Grover gave
his note to the Company tor this
amount, and it is stated that the
Company still hold that note-thst
it never has been paid. From this
record of Governor Growers in the
management of business interests,
the people will begin to account for
the terrible mismanagement of the
affairs of State since he became the
Governor, of Oregon. Whether
this detalcation, amounting to four
teen thousand dollars. abStrocted
from the funds of the Willamette
Woolen Mills Company, was caused
by incoIupetency or downright ras-
cality, it is not our intention at this
time to inquire. One of the propo-
sitions is certainly true, and ifeither
be true, the question for the voters

entire County Board, as nominated
by the convention, are from the

We hardly believe there is a
man in the valley who has the
hardyhood to assert his belief that
Grover will be reelected Governor.
On the contrary it is generally
believed that he will be the very
hindmost man in the race. Plenty
cfmen can be found who will wager
large amounts on the election of
Dick Williams, and even those who
will put up on Campbell or Sol
man, but not q man who feels like
venturing even an old chew Of TO-

On Tuesday, Is stated by pr
ties present, ut Oregon City, Gro
yer undertook the new role ofbully.
The three candidates for Guberna.
torisl honors were there to address
the citizens on political topics.
While Judge Tolman was speak
ing, charging upon Grover his
various delinquincies as Governor
Of Oregon, the Governor became
excited and denied the charges
made by Tolmsh. Words were
exchanged, when Grover advanced
toward Tolman, as if to strike him.
Tolnan turned upon the great
man, and ordered him to sit down
until his turn to speak came; that
he was not to be deferred from
speaking the truth, especially by a
secession aristocrat-that he must
take his seat quickly-and Grover,
pale and trembling, dropped into
his chair, buried his face in his
hands, and blubbered like a cali.
lfthis tale he true, is there any
wonder that the pehple-the tax
payers Of Oregon-ae desertipg
Grover by hundreds? Grover will
doubtless poll a smaller vote than
snyeman ever received for the office
of Governor in this State. Wher-
ever he goes he is losing strength.

Mcpherson says there is great
dissatisfaction among Republicans
over the nominations made by the
Linn County Independent Conven-
tion! We also assert that there is
immoderate dissatisfaction in the
Democratic ranks on exactly the
same grounds! When the little
Boss Tweeds Of the Democracy in
Linn scan the names appearing on
that ticket, and then compare them
with the names appearing on the
Democratic ticket, they feel sick,
and at once call upon the Repnb-
licans to help them or defeat is
certain. The wall of Democracy
IS "giye us q third ticket" and
every argument that can be brought
to bear upon Republicans, is used
without stint to induce them to
call convention and place another
ticket in the field. With three
tickets in the field Democracy
would have q faint hope, at least,
ofgetting some Of the Offices but
with the Independent ticket only,
composed as it is of the truest and
best men in the county, who are
backed by the whole People, they
know there Is no hope for even a
single crumb of office. let spoils
hunters wall, the People have selec-
ted their men for official positions
in this county, snd they will be
elected by rousing majorities.
Hurrah for the Independent ticket.
The Linn County Independent
ticket is gaining in strength and
numbers daily. The people see
that unless the entire batch Of
officials that have run the county
finances SO recklessly and unscrupu-
lonsly SO long, are wiped out, and
an entire now deal had, nothing
better my be expected in the future.

results. This is why the people
