CHRISTMAS usual preparations seem
to be making for the due observance of this
time honored festival in Corvallis. From
toys, candies, ETC., for the little ones,
and elegant presents for the older ones,
and there seems to be general inclination
to have real old fashioned, good time
Christmas holiday. We hear of several
Christmas trees, public and private. There
will be trees, properly decorated and laden
with presents, ON Christmas Eve, at the
Episcopal Chapel, and Evangelical and
Methodist Churches, for the. different Sab
bath Schools. 1t is the intention of the
managers of these trees to have present
for every child in attendance at the various
schools. The parents, when able, are ex
pected to furnish presents for their children.
ence to our advertising columns, Mr.. Johr
Ray, one of our solid business men, has Ia

with him in business. Albert, for the pas1
four years, has been acting as clerk and
salesman for his father, and by his steady
habits and close attention to business, ha.
fully merited this honor upon attaining hi
majority. His parents, und the entire com

such young man, and what he has accom-

within the reach of every young man. a

"REMEMBER THE POOR. when we look
abroad, during the inclement weather of
winter, and see families of children half
clothed, and poorly fed, it is not enough for
Christians to pray, BE thou clothed and
be thou fed" This prayer is right and pro-
per, but the true Christian, who has an
abundance of this worlds goods, should see
to it that some decisive steps are taken to
answer this prayer. While we may not,
and probably do not, have any cases of real
destitution and want in Corvallis, like those
in large cities, yet there are families that
need, and should receive, assistance during
the winter, and especially during the holi-
days. A little coat, or hat, or dress, or
pair of shoes, of trifing cost, might carry
sunshine and happiness to some poverty

ways have with you" There are many
open doors for true Christian charity. 6 If
we seek field of labor, we can find it any
where" A more generous, kind-hearted
people than the Corvallisites cannot be
found, and they only need their attention
called to this matter, to insure liberal re-
sponse. See to it, at least, that every poor
family has good Christmas dinner.

In the Plain Dealer of Friday last was
the following, from the Canton corre'
spondent Of that paper;
EDIToRs PLAIN DEALER-The fact that
Charley Fosters promises and his feel
ings towards the Catholics have become
known outside of the Mckinley ring is
creating considerable excitement among
the Republicans in this stark county,
as il is here the work is being done un-
der the management of Major Mckinley
the Republican Congressman from this
district. That Foster should act in this
way, working against the Cleveland Lea
der on the Catholic question, is surpris'
ing many of our strongest Republicans;
some of them denounce Foster and his
dirty work, as they call it. The Leader
followers in this city are red hot, and
demand an explanation from Foster, or
lose their vote. Some think he Will ex'
plain, while those acquainted with the
facts say there is nothing to ex xolain. AS
stated in yesterdays Plain Dealer, Eos
ter's scheme was TO capture the Catnohc
vote by rendering Catholic priest from
Canal Fulton an appointment as army
chaplain, provided he would use all his
influence for his (Foster's) election. IL
was learned that Mr.. Bortz, a Foster
agent, visited the reverend politician
about three weeks ago, and 1t was theh
the arrangements were made. That ne
is now working for Foster is well known,
and he is denouncing Ewing and Rice
This morning your correspondent inter
viewed Catholic priest of this county,
whose name is withheld, as it was on
this condition that the following facts
were elected: The first question asked
was, "Do you know of any such promise
being made to a Catholic priest in this
county" (Here showing him copy OF
Yesterdays Plain Dealer)P His answer
was, "Yes, it has reference to the Rev
Edward Vattman of Canal Fulton. Inc
way know is from a postal card re-
ceived from him few days ago. 1t was
written in Latin, in which he said he had
the appointment as army chaplain, but
that l should say nothing about it out
side of the clergy" From another priest
it was learned he had written him the
same, and denounced Ewing and Rice,
and advocated Foster as true friend to
the Catholic church The next person
I interviewed was Major Vignos, the
Postmaster (Rep). He said he heard
that Rev. Vattman had received an APP
pointment as army chaplain, and that he
thought the Bishop was acquainted with
the facts; but don't you say | said so, or
l will put head on you," said the jo'
vial veteran as the correspondent was
departing. Others were also subjected to
an interview, and as rule, the Republi
cans are excited, and considerable bad
feeling exists against Foster and McKin'
ley.

WE met one of last years Nationals in
town on Saturday, and enquired of him
if he was going to repeat last years fool
ishness. He took off his hat and show
ed us the following paragraph pasted in
it, which he had cut from the Cleveland
Leader the day following the election {;
"The superior intelligence Of the Re-
pubicans of Ohio prevented them from
being hoodwinked by the sophistry of
the GreenbaCkers. The inroads made
by the latter party were almost entirely
in the ranks of the ignorant Democracy.
"The vote in Ohio yesterday was a
long step toward the election of a Re.
publican President on a hard money
ticket in 1880"
Being led into the National movement
by Republicans, and then insulted by
them after he had been verdant enough
to trust them, was more than he could
bear.-EG.

SHERMAN, Schurz & Co., claim their
resumption scheme is grand success.
Gen. Ewing in his great speech at Cali.
polls, on the 9th inst, in reply to Sher-
man and Schurz, demolishes the entire
fabric of argument offered by those gen.
tlemen. Gen. Ewing shows that the
original scheme of resumption was to
wipe out and destroy the greenbacks,
but that the Democratic Congress pre-.
vented. In the next place silver was re-
monetized and these two points entirely
changed the scheme. Besides, three
large successive crops in this country,
and scarCityin Europe, have changed the
balance of trade in our favor.
The scheme of resumption originally
intended by the Republican leaders was
contraction, by the destruction of all the
greenbacks, and on gold basis alone.
In all this they were foiled by Demo-
cratic Congress, that saved the greenbaCk
currency and remonetized silver. All
these made the present resumption pos
sible, and has tended to alleviate.
We hope to be able to publish General
EwiDg's speech next week.

THE REVIEW AND REPOSITORY


The Repository seems nov to be, trouO''
le8 hhoat the White House saloon ~
if]SnESn When the White House at
Nashington was disgraced with a drum
< sn Republican ilEMmbent, the RepoSl-
6lks weie nottroubled in the least
hd BOW, when the White House at
washington is disgraced by fraudulent
President, the Repository is in no wise
afflicted thereby. Its drunken PFesi'
dents and White House knaves are all
saints! But that is usually the case with
the Republican party. Democrats are
all whisky Suckers" according to Re
publican journals while their candidates
are all models of temperance purity,
and religious plety 1t matters not
whether they are, infdels like Bob ln-
gersol, or drunken bloats like Grant.
We will concede one thing to our OPP
ponents, and that is, hypocrisy. They
excel us far in that quality. Plenty OF
their brawling temperance characters
swill their beer and ale, and frequently,
for their stomachs' sake, take something
stronger. Even that model demagogue'
F. Laiblin, takes his whisky straight,
and takes care that saloon men don't
make enormous profits off him, for he
has a reputation of filling his glass to
the brim. And-does he not "set 'em
up for the boys?"
We should not refer to Mr.. Laiblin In
this connection, were it not for the fact
that the Repository and Alliance ReOIe'C
are seeking to charge candidates on the
Democratic ticket falsely as to their hab-
it's. Mr.. Laiblin is no Murphy, no pro-
fessed temperance man even, and these
journals know that the gentlemen refer
red to on our ticket will compare favora'
bly, with our opponents in all respects as
to character and habits.
We have referred to Mr.. Laiblin's po-
litical course, which is perfectly legiti'
mate, and these Republican journals
seek to offset in the manner referred to.
The tortuous course of G. F. Laiblin
exhibits him as the political demagogue,
unworthy the confidence and the votes
of good citizens. Two years ago he was
a leader of the Greenback, Labor party,
which accused the Republican party of
all manner of corruption, and declared
it no longer entitled to the support Of
honest men. Is not all this fact2 Dare
these Republican journals deny?

MOUNT UNION COLLEGE AND
POLITICS.

MOUNI UNlON COLLhOb AMI
POLITICS.
No true friend of Mount Union College
should desire the faculty thereof to pre-
cipitate that institution into the mael'
strom Of party politics. No thorough
institution of learning can afford it, and
no member Of a College faculty, devoted
to his calling, will enter the scramble,
and become the narrow-minded party
hack, imbued with bitterness, and seek
ing official position.
1t must be matter of regret to the
sensible friends of Mount Union College,
that Professor E. N. Hartshorn entered
the scramble for the Senatorial nomira-
ton, and after long and bitter fight in
the convention, secured it by close
vote. The nomination did not seek him
he sought and wrought for it. 1t would
have been different had this Professor
been man Of such superior attainments
that, by unanimous consent, the nomln-
alton had been conferred. No such maj
esty, however surrounds Mr.. Hartstorn.
He is no man of such pre-eminence as
to command the unanimous respect, ad.
miration and confidence of his party or
the people.
The Democratic candidate, Mr.. Ferrall,
presents marked contrast to Mr.. Harts-
horn in the way he got the nomination,
There was no scramble and mean strug.
gle on the part of Mr.. Ferrall. The
nomination was cordial, without opposi-
ton, and by acclamation. While other
Democrats were willing to run, when it
was ascertained that Mr.. Ferrall would
accept it, all were satisfied and refused
to enter the list. No such cordiality and
respect were seen in Mr.. Hartshorn's
nomination. The contrast in the two
nominations indicates a difference in
the men, entitled to consideration.
