The Tlal lie says: Bensefl, you
were in the legislature of 1879, why
didn't -ou have the lock bull re
pealcd ?' For the single reason, Mr..
Blade, Lork Bill, No. Il, never became
law there was nothing To repeat.
Mr.. Glow, however, voting for the
passage OF the bill ALL THE TIME, and
refused to support Pa,ton's amend
I.ent, to pay for the locks in ten an
nnal payments, of $25. 900 each. IL"
also refused TO support Langell'-
amendment, to leave the question TO
the PEOPLE at the November cleo
tion (onIy few weeks), as to wheti'-
er they would pay $4so,000 for the
locks (thpn incomplet.) or not. Mr..
Glow voted in oppnsilisn to Hons. J.
Z. Allen, JAS. H. White and Il. G.
Chrystal, of his own county, the two
former gentlemen signing protest
against the passage OF the bill by the
senate.
Mr.. Glow voted for the Fee Bill
that increased the fees of the clerks
and sheriffs, and repealed in 1874.
These statements have been made
by Mr.. Bensell in his canvass, and
Mr.. Glow has net been able to sue
ccssfnlly clear his record. It is wei
enough for the people to consider The
actions OF Mr.. Glow while member
of the House in 1872. His judgemen
is certainly at fault.

OF these men very little can be said
one way ar the other. Mr.. Walton
has lived in Lane county for long
time and is not known outside of il

as a lawyer. Mr.. Hamilton is young
man, admitted 10 the liar about a

he conducts the business OF his Court

EDITOR GAZETTE. Two years ago Hon.
John Burnett was elected State Senator from
Benton county to serve the people, as was
supposed, in the capacity of Senator for four
years. Mr.. Burnett np'oyed his time du
ing one session principally in getting law
passed creating our present Supreme Court.
believe Mr.. Burnett even neglected the
Yaquina z. r. Bill. SO much was he inter
ested in having new Supreme Court.
Could it be possible that honest John was
looking ahead If Mr.. Burnett should be
elected TO the Supreme Bench, have the pec-
pie any assurance that he would serve out
his time! Or would the gentleman try to
step from the Juigeship into the U. s. Sen
ate. He was once County Judge and while
holding that Office tried to be Congressman
He resigns the office Of State Senator and
runs for Supreme Judge. In the name Of

EDITOR GAZETTE :-Once more
shall intrude on your Kindness with
the request for some space for a few
remarks expressed by many OF the
mountaincers of. Benton county, in
regard to the approaching elections.
These untaineer- are, as class,
Enthusiastically known as . working
class, consequently these remarks
come not from persons Who idle their
time away on the street corners OF
Corvallis in expectations Of receiv
ing tree candidate drink" The
great showing carried on lately by
the Democratic party, that Sol. King
hadn't delivered the money in his
hands over Ia the treasurer, had not
the least effect on the people. The
Democrats erred again if they
thought Sol. King could fy to pieces
from their excess OF efforts TO bring
him before the public as a peoples
wronger.
| the voters of Benton say that,
even if honest (?) Grover was the ex-
ecuting Sheriff OF theirs they would
not expect him to deliver the money
of the county which should go
through his hands, more minutely
4
than Sol. did. The fact is they fear
that those who rake the actions OF
the present Sheriff so much, ii in his
official place, wound keep not only
greater amounts back from the treas
urer, tut even try to pocket it alto
getller.
| A Diogoncse with lantern, tc
search for honesty among those fault
finders, would meet with the saint
success as tha, Grecian sage did or
the streets of Athens. Promises are
all very well yet proof goes good
deal farther, and Mr.. King gave al
the proof as Sheriff, as far as his Of
ticial participation is concerned, th,
welfare of Benton, requires.
i Another candidate for an impor
tant office is looming powerfully NJ
in the minds Of our citizens, and tina
is nobody less than Mr.. James Yam

THE COMING STATE FAIR.

Ed. GAZETTE: The time is not far
distant when our state fair for this
year will be held at Salem. From
every indication it will be q complete
success. The managers Of the fair
have placed it's commencement July
lst. For the last three years heavy
rains fell during the time OF the fairs.
rendering them very disagr.eahle aud
deficient in receipts. Fine improve
ments have been made on the fair
grounds lately, and the broad walks,
fine parks, elegant pavilions, the fine
shades and great supply of pure wa
ter on the grounds, present great in
,lncements this year to campers and
visitors. But there il one feature OF
the approaching fair that commends
it to the sober, moral and religious
people, and that is that no license
will be granted to any persons to sell
or give away, on the grounds, during
the fair, any beer or other intoxical-
ing liquor. Gambling will be prohih-
tied as far as possible, and the Chief
Marshal and all his aides are reliable
temperance men, who will enforce
the rules.
1t is true that grains and vegeta-
bles will not be matured in time fol
the fair, but flowers, machinery, min
erals, stock, poultry, ladies' handi
work and works of art will be on ex,
hibition in profnsion. Roads will b.
good, and bright summer weather
will, no doubt, prevail. Such will b.
the good order prevailing, from til.
absence of dram shops and gamblin.
dcns, and a decrease OF roughs o,
that account, that we expect ana
hope that there will he the mos
agreeable and successful fair thi
year ever before held in Oregon.
| Rev. /. Dillon has arranged for
/ grand national excursion from ih,
states to the fair grounds at half fare
and no doubt this will add severe
thousand persons TO the fair this yea,
4 The anniversary of,our national in
dependence will be celebrated on th
