And here is another questionable
transaction of the Rev. H X. Hines
that has just came to our knowledge !:
1t seems tha the same food which
washed away his ill7gotten pork also
carried off several head of cattle that he
had in some way acquired. And not
withstanding the fact that he knew the
winds blew, the rains descended and the
foods came and washed away his kline
as well as his hogs, he came over to AL
bany and traded of several of his cows
to Mr.. Cyrus Westlake for yoke of
oxen, and before Mr.. w. knew that
Hines cattle were drowned the slippery
preacher had driven the yoke of oxen
to Portland and sold them and pocketed
the cash, and to this day Mr. Westlake
has received no consideration for his
loss.
Be it remembered that this "whole
hog" and cattle business transpired in
the Immediate vicinity of this city, and
all our old citizens are fully eognizant
of the disgraceful affair.
What honest man can vote fer SO
transparent fraud as this whited sep

The RIcHT soRT OF A MAN.

It seems hard TO keep run of some
fellows anyhow. The other day cor
respondent of the Oregoaiaa sailed into
Gov. Whitaker because the writer
thought he was an anti-secessionist, and
now here comes prancing along the
Roseburg Plaindealsr, and denounces
the Governor as a confirmed rebel!
No higher compliment could be paid
to Governor Whitaker than this. 1t
fully demonstrates that he is a conserv-
ativc citizen and patriot and has never
allowed himself to be warped by preju-
dice or fanatieism into any extreme
views or measures which would detaact
from his merits as an honest man and
true lover of his country
Such man as this is as much supe-
rior to the fanatic Hines as is the angel
Gabriel to an Esquimaux Indian, and
SO the people viii decide on election day
by $500 majority.
And don't you forget it.

A sERGNADE.

Rev. H. K. Hines and Gov. White
aker were respectively serenaded at
Corvallis last Friday evening, and the
former had the bad taste to make bit
ter political harangue and beg for votes
from the crowd that paid him that COM
pliment, bat when they left Hines and
repaired to Governor Whiteaker's quar-
tsrs he simply acknowledged the com
pliment by praising the excellent music
of the band, the beautiful city of Cor
Wallis, the promise of rich harvest for
the farmers Of Benton and the glories of
our young commonwealth-ignoring
politics entirely-fully understanding,
as every true gentleman should, that a
complimentary serenade toadistinguish-
ed guest of the city, by people of all
parties, was not to be taken advantage
of fer the purpose of political harangues.
At the conclusion of the Governors
elegant speech Republican proposed
three cheers for him, which was echoed
by the vast crowd present with hurrah
which struck terror to the few friends
Of the porcine purloiner.

IxExcUsABLE LYING.

One Of the worst falsehooIs which
Mallory gave utteranee to last Wedses-
day evening was that this State lost
nothing through The defaleatios Of sam
May. In 1874 the State o5taiaea a
Judgment against Mays surst.es for
s., ,S52.54 and over $1,000 Of that
amount still remain unpaid Besides
shis amount the referee in the case,
Judge Deady, found that 1Iay had
stolen s264l for which no Judgment
could be had against his bondsmen, for
the reason that it had been paid to him
while he was net acting in the capaci-
~ of Secretary of State. This sum
vas wholly lost to the State. Mallory
knew what he was stating was false
hosd as be was ono of Mays attorneys
Any one doubling our figures can dem
onstate their correctness BY referring to
ths laws of 1874.

Republlean ereenbackers Going Bask.

EoD@ANN---
Two years ago, when the Peter coop
er movement was running lively in
Linn, We warned our Democratic Green.
back friends that the Republicans in
that movement would go back on them
and they did Now we warn them
that their Republican Greenbackers viii
go back ON them-and they havel
In proof Of this we are authorized to
state that one Jas. Forgy, a candidate
on the Greenback county ticket, has
now come seuarely out and repudiates
the whole thing and says he aUiH uote
the Republican ticket
This we have from reliable informs-
tion, and if our Democratic Greenback
friends want our authority for this
statement they can have it.
But will they be longer deluded by
this Nipple assisting mevementl Will
they continue to follow in the lead of
the rotten and corrupt Edmunds of the
Labor World, who has been for weeks
trying to sell out to the Democratic
Central Committee of Multnomah coun-
tyl
1t is now surely time that all honest
Democrats should look into this matter
before it is too late-before they are
led into trap which will defeat their
own principles and elect John H.
Mitchell to the United States Senate.

We last night received letter from
a member Of the Multnomah County
Democratic Central Committee which
shows the perfdy and villainy Of Ed
munds, the Gresnback apostle, in the
proper light. Our correspondent says
"Edmunds, the Greenbacker, left
here yesterday, and l think he has gone
to Linn county on some mission for the
Custom House Ring. He has been for
weeks trying to sell out to us, follow
ing us with persistent opportunities for
money, and offering 10 let the Green
back State ticket go l,y default il ,Os
i0o,sld pay him. He said the Rspubli-
cans had offered him money-that he
had to have money, and would bo CON-
pelled to accept from them unless we
did something for him. He threatened
that if we did not help him he would
go into Democratic counties and work
up the Gresnback vote. This may be
his mission in Linn. A day or two be-
fore he left here he appeared to be very
much exasperated with the Custom
House fellows, and said to members of
our COmmittee that they had given him
$500, and had promised more that
they had taken chattel mortgage on
the Labor World for the $500; that
they had failed to give him more money
as promised, but had lied to him and
deceived him, and he said he had q no
ton to bloso the ,ch0Ie thing" This
precious tale of his is confirmed by the
fact that there is chattel mortgage on
file in the Clerks Office in Multnomah
county, in Joe Simon's handwriting,
from the Labor World Company, BY
Edmunds as President, to A. III. Tan,
ner, for $500, dated April 26, 1873
Tanner was at that date date reading
law in Dolph's office. Since this last
conversation with our Committee, find
ing he could get no money, he ha.
doubtless secured further sum from
the Ring and started out to DO mission
airy service for them, by working up tn,
Geenbaek vote"
As corroborative testimony, going t.
show that Edmunds Is in this business
we desire to state that we saw him a
various points in Linn county during
the present week, and he seemedsto b
following the canvasseIs on mischie
bent" And we now desire to war;
every honest Greenbacker, as well a
Democrat, against this man. The fore
going information is given to US by
gentleman in whose veracity we havl
the most implicit confidence, beside
which our own observation satisfies u
of Edmunds' per6dy.
We would not publish these thing
save to let our Greenback friends un
derstaRd who their leaders are, and t,
let them know that they are merely th'
tools Of the most despieable and shame
less set of scoundrels that ever dis
graeed Gods footstool.

An OVATION.

The people of Salem gave Judge
Thayer and Tom Reames a grand re-
ception on their arrival at the depot in
that city. Many carriages filed with
the leading citizens of the capital met
them, and accompanied by music from
the brass band they were escorted
through the city amid perfect ovation
of salutes and congratulations
The Republicans are really uneasy
about Marion county, and we have it
from reliable authority that some of the
leading menbers of that party frankly
eoncede the election of a considerable
portionof the Democratic county ticket.

I was present yesterday at the dis
cussion between the opposing Linn
coanty candidates for the Legislature,
and was somewhat surprised that your
"Delnocratic champions'-as you call
thenl--did not call the Republican can
didates out ON the Mitchell Senatorial
question. / am a Republican-never
voted any other ticket-and would like
to keep my record clear at the coming
election but / cannot vote for any man
who will not positively assert that he
will under no circumstances support
Mitchell for reelection. l had hoped
that your Democratic candidates, or the
so-called Greenbaek candidates, would
openly ask our Republican aspirants
this important question, but since they
have not done 50 up to this time am
at loss to know how far we are com
mitting ourselves to 4IitcIells support
when we vote the Linn county Repub-
Iiean ticket.
You stated in your issue of few
days ago that Marion Cunningham was
understood to be favorable to Mitchell.
The same impression prevails with
many Republicans here, and be will in
consequence lose quite number of the
best and most respectable Republican
votes in this section Of the county un-
less he GENES squareIy to the front and

LOOK orr ron Beers TICKETS.

1t is expected that the coalition of
Radicals and Greenbackers which is
found in this county to defeat the Dem
ocrats, will resort to all sorts of nefa-
rious practices to accomplish their OBJ
ject, hence the old scheme of flooding
the polls with spurious tickets win
most likely be resorted to.
Let every Democratic voter scan well
every name on his ticket before voting
it, and be certain that none but the reg
ular nominees, from Congressman down
to Constable, are on the ticket in regu-
lar form.

scrupulous tricksters.

rnE DISCUSSION At IrnAsos.


The finest meeting Of the campaign,
so far, was held at Lebanon Tuesday.
Promptly at o'clock p m. the Leb-
anon Brass Band brought the crowd to-
gether with few appropriate airs, and
after the large hall was filed to over
flowing Mr.. R. A. Irvine was selected
as Chairman. Judge Piper, ON behalf
of the Republicans, led off in 45 min.
utes' speech, three-fourths of which he
had imported from Indiana and the re-
maining fourth had learned from some
oregonian who evidently has spite
against Piper and wants to beat him.
Truth compels us to state that Judge
Piper has fine voice and a good deIiy-
cry, but as an outrageous demagogue he
unquestionably knocks the persim-
mons" Utterly reckless in his state
ments, his mendaeity is SO transparent
as to need no refutation on the part Of
our Democratic debaters, the people be-
ing fully satisfied that a man of his cal
ibre should not be selected to represent
Linn in any responsible position.
Our gallant young Democratic cham
pion, "Wid" Bilyeu, answered Piper in
an eloquent speech of forty minutes,
and his points were so well taken and
his arguments SO conclusive as to bring
forth storm of applause at every sen.
tence. He disposed of Piper's charges
against tho State management by re-
futation backed by figures from the rec.
ord he drew u comparison from the
official record which we published yes
terday in regard to Our county affairs,
showing eonclusively the superiority Of
Democratic management over that Of
Republican, aad then in thunder tones
charged home to the Republicans the
infamous corruption OF their national
administration. His speech was greet
ed throughout with round after round
of applause, and after Hon. j. H. smitE
came in on the "home stretch" aat
made his usual telling and happy hit
at the Radicals, their annihilation wa.
so complete as to fully satisfy every
disinterested spectator that the Democ
racy of Linn had an easy victory befor'
: them next Monday.
Mr.. Smiths admirable handling 0
the financial question was especially ap
plauded. He has unquestiOnably mad
: the study of finances speciality, anc
: there are but few who hear him VII,
will not be conelusively convinced 0
the soundness of his views.
The Democracy of Lebanon wer,
never in better fix for gallant fight
and we are positively assured that W,
may expect an unprecedented majority
from that Precinct next Monday.

The great, loyal, patriotic, iag-wav-

a good chance to show their devotion to
the soldiers of the Union whom they
pretend SO much to love. We have on
our ticket for County Treasurer Mr..
Philip Grigsby, a gallant soldier, who
now carries wooden leg as testimo-
NAL of his fealty and devotion to the
Union, and if the Radical party of Linn
possess the sincerity and patriotism
which they claim every man of them
should give him vote next Monday.

The law does not require that a per
son should reside thirty days in a pre-
cinet before being a voter for county
purposes. It simply provides that ths
person offering to vote shall have re-

he is, at the time he offers to vote, an
actual resident of the precinct wherein
be offers his ballot.

That imported Indiana speech of Bro.
Piper's doesn't fit the occasion at all,
and his friends are discouraged because
he is too old to learn a new one. His
bloody-shirt business is especially stale,
but as it is about all there is left of Re
publican pabulum We can't expect any
thing better. But it does seem to us
that thirteen years of peace, with only
the rain and sunshine of heaven to
work upon that ensanguined neither
garment, would have washed and dried
out the blood from that shirt or else
rotted it to pieces.
