THE RELIABLE NEW FAMILY
SINGER SEWING MACHINE I!

Still here and
Doing a Good Business!
THE table of Sewing Machine Sales for
4 1878 shows that our sales last year
amounted to 232.444 1.-TWO hundred and
thirty-two thousand, four hundred and forty
FOUR Machines, being large increase over
the sales of the previous year (1s72.)
The table also shows that our sales EX-
CEED THOSE OF ANY OTHER
COM PANYs for the period named, by the
number of 1926. MACHINES. or near
" double those of any other Company.
1t may be further stated that the sales Of
1878, as compared with those of 1872. show a
relatively larger increase, beyond the sales
of other makers than of any other year.
For instance, in 1872 we sold 5000 more
Machines than any other Company, whereas,
in 1878, the sales were
u3 ,254 Machines in Excess Of Our
Highest Competitor.
These figures are all the more remarkable,
fer the reason that the sales of the principal
Companies in 1878 are LESS THAN
THEIR SALES IN 1879; whereas, as
has been shown. OUR SALES HAVE
LARGELY INCREASED.
The account of sales is from sWorn returns
made to the owners of the Sewing Ma
chine Patents.

Tho straight-out Republicans o.

They don't like tho Independent lay

tween them. In fact the old Repub-
lican leaders in this county were
coolly elbowed out of the Independ-
ont camp by members of their party
who took early control of the move
ment. Now that the defeat of the
Indepedent ticket has become SO
fixed a flct that it is conceded on all
sides, the candidates and their
friends arc gently wooing the same

shoulder in tho incipient and more
hopeful stages Of their Organizations.

which has been forced upon them,
nominate q ticket of their own, or
not vote at all, AS for the Democ-
racy of old Linn they are marching
on to certain victory. The stories

Campbell's nomination secures Polk

The Jacksonville Times pertinent
ly remarks that while the Republican
press and speakers have much to say
about the litigant act, and wax elo-
quent in their denuneiations of it,
they never once, however, mention
the fact that the Federal Government
not only refuses to allow competition
in advertising its proposals of all
kinds, but gives them to its partizan
sheets at prices fdr above those pre-
scribed by the htigant law. It is
transparent that they make this act a
hobby to manufacture capital from,
and are not disposed to deal in the
facts OF the matter When the ad-
ditional fact is stated that the price
fixed by the litigant act, for publish
ing legal notices is less than that
charged by Republican papers pre-
yious to its enactment, the transpar-
ency Of the fSlsehoods being peddled
out by these Republican and Inde-
pendent howlers is still more ap-

editor OF one of the spiciest and
most spirited papers in Oregon, called
yesterday. Mart. is frst-class prac-
tical printer 1--WE know because we
have worked under his dircction), is a
talented writer, and is extremely pop
ular among the craft, to whom he has
ever been a true friend. He has
many friends outside of his own par,

the fullest success in all his personal

This gentleman. is the, rcgularl,
nominated candidate on the Demo
cratic ticket for Judge Of the 2nt
Judicial District He is opposed by
Hon. John Kelsay, the regular Re
publican nominee; and John Burnett
the hybrid Independent man. We
propose, in these remarks, to con
slider the merits Of the candidates. -
There is not an intelligent voter in
the State who is ignorant Of the char
acter OF Judge Mosher for integrity
as a man, brilliancy as o lawyer and
uprightness as q Judge. For more
than twenty years he has held po-
sition among members Of the legal
profession of Oregon second to no
man. If any doubt the high esteem
In which he has ever been held by
his brother attorneys, Of all political
parties, they have but to enquire" ""of
any and every lawyer of respectable
ability in the State and be convinced.
Judge Mosher's nomination by the
delegation from his District, at the
late State Convention, was accorded
him unanimously, and ratified not
only by the entire Convention but
by the people throughout the State
Who is Mr.. Burnett, and what are
his qualifications and claims to the
position to which he aspires? A com
paratiye mel conner in the State; a
lawyer of mediocre ability and q
bolter from the party which has hon
pred him for beyond his merit. 1t
may not be forgotten that he is the
nan who was nominated by the De-
nocracy two years ago for Congress.
The canvass he made against the Re- .
nominee, j. G. Wilson, was
perhaps the weakest ever made in the
State. and Oregon was lost to the
Democracy. Mr.. Burnett realized {
us failure to meet the expectations of !
hose who nominated him and after '
is defeat he retired TO obssurity c
oured against the Democratic party }

impossible for them to do by the Il
Of his incapacity for the !
titles of the position in which he n
I'd been placed. Mr.. Burnett is l

ldthe people will see that he re- ii
aims outside of the judicial er1nine.
Hon. John Kelsay is Of the Nipple
ing Of the Republican party. He =

THE GUBERNATOa1AL CONTEST.

The triangular combat at the Cour
House yesterday, between the candi
dates for Governor was largely at
tended. Indeed, the crowd was 81
numerous that the meeting was helc
in the open air under the shade of thu
friendly fir trees.
Governor Grover opened the dis
cusslon in most convincing, able
and mastery effort of one hour and
a half in which he refuted the base
partizan charges made against his
Administration, and fully demonstra-
ted the capacity, efficiency and econo,
my of our State officers His speech
was even more logical and convincing
than his most sanguine friends had
been led to believe he could make
and fully convinced them Of the utter
folly Of a change in our State man
agement. He closed with an elo-
quent and stirring peroration on the
life and vitality Of the old Democratic
party, and made a thrilling appeal to
the "old guard" OF Democracy in
Yamhill to stand by our colors. As
an evidence Of life in the Democratic
party he cited the late brilliant veto.
ries in Ohio, New Hampshire and
Connecticut, and predicted glorious
response to these victories by our
Oregon Democracy in June next.
Tolman, the Republican nominee,
next came on the stand and told his
regular little jokes of the campaign,
which excited the merriment but dis,
gusted the reason and judgment of his
audience. lie is rather funny little
old man, but is as unfit for Governor
of the struggling young common
wealth of Oregon as a raw Digger In

JUDGE WHITNEY AND HIS COMPETE
TORS

J.J Whitney, the Democratic can
didate for Prosecuting Attorney 3
this District, is making an able can
yass and will no doubt be elected BY
q handsome majority. He is master
Of the situation SO far as his competi.
tors arc concerned. Capt. Humph-
rey, the Republican nominee, and
Dir, Ford, the Independent candid
ate, are both taking part in the dis
cussions at different points. The
Captain makes as strong a case as is
possible in behalf of himself, and as
says to defend the rotten cause of
Republicanism, but the labor is too
much for one man and he feels it,.
DIR. Ford has adopted q novel method
of dealing with his adversary. Those
who know the gentleman are aware
Of his ability to talk. lie can talk
more and say less than any other man
in Oregon. When he began the can
vass, a few days since, he had a
speech prepared Of about two hours
length, made up Of mass of silly
assertions and false charges against
Coy. Grover and the Democratic |
party generally. Judge Whitney
soon caused little light to shine in
upon the befogged mind ofthe young
man, by q thorough analysis of his
shallow clap-trap, and he was forced
to abandon the positions in which he
had thought himself SO securely fofti-
led. No sooner does he yield a point
han he takes up the line Of argument
BY which he has been vanquished
md begins arguing on the other side. 4
At Buena Vista Mr.. Ford made almost
|
he exact speech Judge Whitney had
made the day before. 1t is believed
~ his friends that by the close of the {
anyass he will SO improve under t
udge Whitney's instruction that he
Till be able to conduct almost any
ammon case before II Justices Court.
'hould this prove true, the friends /
I Mr.. Ford will certainly owe a last a
lg debt of gratitude to the Judge. 1
he truth is, the nomination of Til /
IAN Ford for the important Office of a
rosecuting Attorney is the most re- s.
iculous scene in the Independent 8
