The Candidate. for DI.tr1es Attorney

Mr.. Burnett, the Republican candi-
date for the office of District Attorney
in the third judicial district, and Mr..
Ramsey, the Democratic candidate for
the same Office, addressed the citizens OF
Albany on Friday evening last, upon
the political issues OF the day. Quite
large audience had assembled to hear
the respective candidates. Both are
young men and somewhat inexperienced
in political debate.
Mr.. Burnett opened the discussion
with very clear and candid statement
of the political issues now before the
people, and then proceeded to show
that the Republican party is party of
progress and economy, opposed to COR
ruption and maIfeasance in Office, and
ever ready to punish and crush it when
found. On the contrary he showed in
the most forcible manner and by an
overwhelming array OF facts and figures,
that the Democratic party was and is q
party of demagogues, public thieves
and plunderers; that it is full of PROM
ises but never performs them; that
wherever and whenever Democrats
have had the control of affair, they
have by unjust and discriminating laws
oppressed the people to enrich party fa-
vorites, aud cited the iniquitous litigant
act of Gov. Grover by which he was
enabled for four years to take by force
the small pittauce, which is only too
often their only support, from the
widow and orphan, to support his ad-
ministration and thereby re.elect him-
self Governor, Then he exposed the
swamp land steal by means OF which
nearly every leading Democrat in the
Legislature of Oregon at the time, and
many out of the Legislature, bat in the
ring, got possession Of large tracts q
land at the expense of the people. Then
be exposed the Willamette Falls and
Lock bill steal, whereby certain leading
Democrats in the ring put $4,000 O
the peoples money in their pockets fol
putting the job through, and Senator
Kelly got big price for his interest il
the land through which the Canal and
Locks were built. Then he exposed
what he termed the legal stealings o
the present State Government Of Ore
gon. amounting in two years TO abou
$50 900, which tsGilfrey and r. hae
managed to manipulate, under color Q
law out of the public treasury, with th,
aid of a Democratic Secretary Of State
He then showed that the amour

land commissioners, clerks, de-. unde

Tie bitterest foes Judge Bonham,
candidate for the Circuit Judgsbip OF
the third judicial district, has to con-
tend with in Linn county, are Demo-
Gratis, who pronounce him entirely unfit
for the position. The charge that il
costs the county twice as much,
under his administration, to run the
Courts, as it did or will under Judge
Boise, former Judge of the Circuit, and
present Republican candidate for the
position. Judge Boise, when upon the
Bench, made one of the abIest and most
profound jurists in the State, and under
his administration business was not al
lowed to drag along, week after week,
at the expense of taxpayers. For ca
pabiIity. integrity in the discharge OF
all the duties of the Office, and for
promptitude IN the dispatch of all bust
ness that comes before him, Judge
Boise will not, nor did be ever have, a
peer in the State.

REASONS FOR THE BELIEF THAT Is
IN Us.

In every precinct in the county, with
the exception, perhaps, of one, there
will be largely increased vote for the
Republican ticket, in some precincts the
vote being nearly double that of former
years. Four-tifths of the late emigra-
ton is Republican. A large number of
Republicans who have not voted or
taken any interest in politics for years,
will go to the polls next month and vote
the straight Republican ticket. TAX
ing these and other facts into considera-
tion, we are confident the Republican
party has majority of the legal voters
of Linn county today. From all the
information we can gather from relia-
BILE, well informed sources, there will be
comparatively little scratching or swap
ping done by Republicans on election
day. as our ticket meets the unanimous
approval of the party. These being
facts, Republicans have only to go to
the polls and deposit their votes at the
coming election, to insure the success of
our ticket. The election of the Re-
publican ticket is made all the more
certain from the undeniable fact that
the ticket put forth by the Democratic
County Convention does not meet the
approval OF the Democracy of Linn
county, and numbers of the best men
in the party have not only expressed
their dissatisfaction openly, but have
declared their intention to show their
disapprovsl and condemnation by retus-
ing to support it at the polls They
are the kind of men, too, who mean
what they say, and cannot be coaxcd or
driven into voting against their conyic-
tions. The Republicans of Linn never
were more united or harmonious, and
with ticket that commands universal
respect, even from its opponents, are
correspond,ngly happy and confident of
victory. 'Rah for the Republican
County ticket.

ANOTHER FAIsEHOoD.

Our 'Fdown town. cotemporary, a
few days since, asserted that Judge
blackburn, Republican candidate for
County Judge, had never cast vote in
Lirn county. This is untrue as refer
ence to the poll-books will show.
Judge Blackburn has not only voted in
this county, but he has resided here
long enough to secure the respect and
confidence of all who have the pleasure
OF his aequalntapce, Republicans as
well as Democrats. In fact, this feeling
of confidence in his ability and honesty
is 50 strong that large numbers of Dem
ocrats have declared their intention to
vote for him next June. Our "down

knouledged as much, and any denial
now viii prove unavailing. The fact
is our .'down town. cotemporary is in

A CURIOUS INTIMACY
and Claims to Understand
Horse Talk.

There is a retired trainer, named Long, resid-
ing on u small farm in Alameda county,, who
lives for nothing else but the pleasure OF being
near horses. He eats his meals in the stable,
oitentimes passes the night in the same stall
with u fl, orite pony, and among his equine pets
is a mare who whinnies in answer every time he
speaks to her. Our informant relates that the
most perfect understanding evidently exists
between MIR. Long and ut least three out OF the
five horses in his stable. Two are recent addl-
tions. but even in their case the same affinity Is
seen in q lesser degree.
The training ofhorses, their obedience, docil:
lty, and tricks in a circus, are no novelty; all
OF US have seen a horse fire apistol. stand on two
legs. waltz, lie down with its trainer, and per-
form q hundred acts of eagacity, but these are
matte correction. What Mr.. Long claims is far
more astounding. He asserts that, from 4 life
long intimacy with horses. he understands their
speech; he goes further and declares that their
nasal, cultural, explodent and unobstrlcted
sounds have a different meaning, are used by
the coalition of the brain and vocal organs, and
that not only do his favorite horses understand
him, but that every sound which they utter Is
perfectly plain to him. When arguing with him
that, though he might comprehend the meaning
of horse, vet it was a patent impossibility. for
a horse to understand the English Language, he
replied: Living. eating, and sleeping with
nv horses has given me the knowledge l possess,
and the same intimacy. has acquired for my
horses the powers l claim for them" Here,

ley, and after talking angrily to him for some
minutes about some ihult he had committed the
day before. he ordered Mr.. Policy to lie down
and not to get up until after Vesta and Billy had
returned. Our informant saw but little in this
to prove Mr.. Longs claims. as many y horse
will lie down ut the word, but when, with
out Il further word, Policy arose and walk
ed out to the water trough after the return
of the other two horses, the subject became as
difficult of solution as before.

THE NECESSITY FOR COUNTY NOMI-
NATIONS.

ssWhat,u frequently ask the opponents OF the
county nominees, sis the necessity tor county
nominations 90 We answer, the same necessity
there is for national, state congressional and
senatorial nominations: to preserve the sOrgan-
izaiiOns and secure the triumph of the democrat
ic party Ii, il deed, any graduation of political
organization Is more important than another IT
is that of county organization. For county Is
the starting point, the initial step of OrganlZa-
ton, where authority comes direct from the
people.
The very moment that the spirit of party in
subordination is permitted in county politics
that moment the seed is planted. which will
spread into state and national politics. 1t en-
cOurages Il disregard for party ties, u spirit Of
political mutlny, which, unless promptly check
Ell, will be absolutely certain to develop into
proportions that will eventually exceed mere
locallImits.
Ii is important therefore at this primary point,
for The sske OF harmony in our state and nation
nj organizations, to restrain all manifestations
OF discomfort or boiling among the people and
to stimulate the idea of standing by the party at
all times and under all circumstances, unless
II puts forward corrupt or incompetent men.
But it is cOntended that in our county the
democratic majority is SO large that nominations
are not necessary. The extent Of our majority
Is the strongest argument in behalf OF OrSaniZa.
tion, Tor, where j party is SO strong, there Is the
greatest danger of it becoming infested witt
demagoguery aud selfshness OF designing men
A rigid enforcement of party rules and u strlct
adherence to them are the only safeguards.
The only safe, logical and consistent plan Il
to stand by the party, and support its nominees
from the highest to the lowest on the ticket. In
cation. BY no other method can We retain tn
integrity of OLr principles. Under no Othe
policy can We avert the possibility OF defeat
