events verifes the fact that in days past
there existed in the metropolis of the Uni
ted States one " Boss Tweed" who, during
his palmy days, was synonymous with the
democratic party of New York City, and
who arranged and concocted all political Jug
glery, stocked democratic conventions, and,
in fact, run the whole democratic, party of
that time and place. The Office seekers of
his party looked up to him as the only per-
son through whose influence and contriv-
ance, and none other, they could expect ad-
vancement to political position. Strange as
it may seem, yet it is nevertheless true, that
in later days there existed in the state of
Pennsylvania youth of ordinary attrac-
tions, who there grew to manhood and con-
cluded for political purposes to abandon his
native home and seek his fortunes i'll
the far west. In accordance with this de-
sign he immigrated to Oregon, and located
in the metropolis of Benton county, where
this wonderful individual has since devel-
oped into a full grown "Boss" w. S. Nc
Fadden, which is synonymous with the
democratic party of Benton county. He is
synonymous with that party for the reason
the last few months have developed the fact
that he has been extremely busy, and has
fully succeeded, in stocking the democratic
primary conventions all over the county, for
the purpose of getting delegates to the So
called county convention who would and
dId vote for, and nominate, his particular
pets and strikers as democratic candidates
for the several Offices of the county and it
is a noted fact that, in that democratic con-
vention, there was not one amongst the
whole army of candidates who received
nomination at their hands except the partic-
ular ones, in every case, whose nominations
this youthful Boss McFadden was the
champion and advocate OF. All other heads
were deliberately cut of, and cast away with
the rubbish to await more favorable times,
until they could learn to participate in the
dark and damning deeds at moments sug-
gestion from their 50 Boss. Like the old
Boss, of New York, the successful candi-
dates, and all others, realized throughout
the whole struggle they could not and would
not succeed unless this " Boss" Jun, of
Benton, could be induced to champion their
claims hence this SO Boss " McFadden, this
synonym of Benton county democracy, this
tyrant to the democratic people of Benton
and their principles, has deliberated, met,
suggested and made the nominations for the
people of his so-called party to march up to
polls and vote for, in accordance with the
supreme will of their "Boss.
While the great Boss" of New York.
had no particular occasion to interfere with
the republican nominations, or their con-
ventions, of that time and place, yet this
" Boss" jun, this progressive Boss of
the democratic party of Benton, has made
an attempt farther In the progress of politi-
cal jugglery. and has done all in his power
to suggest andform combinations, indirectly,
with unsuspecting parties to stock the re-
publican primaries of the county, and there
by afford him an opportunity to dictate the
nominees for Office in the republican ranks.
But this attempted progression did not sue
ceed. The republicans of Benton concluded
that it was a little in advance of the times
for him to make this innovation on the po-
litical example of the old Boss Tweed of
New York hence his utter failure.
You see. therefore, .s time honored dem
ocrats of Benton county, that it becomes
your absolute duty to obey the will of your
Boss, McFadden, by coming, one and all,
to the polls next June and voting, without
scratch or blemish, for the straight, Boss
McFadden, democratic ticket of Benton |;
for he has willed they be nominated for
your own good, without your consent, and
you surely ought to, and must, vote for
them after his great pains taking in your be-
half. BRADLEY.
