NUTS Fer "lEE.TTA" TO CRACK.
NEWPORT, BENTON COUNTY,
OREGON. .Inne d. 1880.

OREGON, June 81, 1880.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT: want tn say word
in answer to a correspondence ia the Cor.
wallis GAZETTE signed "Oncatta," giving
the results Of the election from Republic
can standpoint. He appears to be very mnch
exercised over the idea of the employees at
the Siletz Indian Agency working and vot-
ing for 81 man who drinks and plays Pc
dro, Those men exer, ised their rights by
voting against man who had used all his
influence against them by writing and cir
lating false reports in regard to the man.
agement of the Agency. The Yaquinaites
gave Mr. Oneatta benefit two years ago.
He travelled over the county setting up the
primaries so as to secure the nomination for
Sheriff but the Republicans in this section
thought 1t bsst for him to remain OH the
Bay and keep his family near the Reserva-
tion, where they belong.
Our friend Bensell teeIs very much hurt
over his defeat, and comes out in the Ga
zErTE, giving Judge MeFadden q benefit.
If he would call on Doctor Lee think he
could learn the cause of his defeat. The
Doctor had more to do with it thin the
Judge. The former could influence Repub-
licans not to vote for Bensell, but the latter
could not keep seventy-five Democrats from
voting for him. So he can blame the Re-
publicans for his defeat and not the Democ-
racy Doctor Lee ssys Bensell talked Whit
ealser, and "any id Republican that ia
vored him must be defeated. A. PARKER.
The above communication publish
ed in the AlhaHy Democrat, reached
few citizens of this quiet town, and
has set several mp on the Nut crack
ing business" Hon. Allen Parker
wrote This in reply TO certain charges
made by "Oneatta" in the GAZETTE
a few days after the election, and a
careful reading shows 10 r.futaliun
or denial of the pedro playing or
the drinking delinquency and really
leaves the Silrtz employees in u worse
condition than bcf.'rr, fairly and
honestly accused, with Hon. a. Par
kcrs justiiiralior for so doing. Bet
ter remained sil' III as the tomb than
displayed this ingratitutle of going
back on fric,,ds in time of need.
The tncallcd for and unmerited
insinuation concerning the family of
an old and respected citizen of the.
Bay receives general condemnation
as 1t properly deserves, attacks OF
this despical,lc character made though
the public press, is entirely wreng
and never never justified, even dur
ing a hot political contest.
In reference to my soreness over
defeat, the Hon. gentleman is again
in error, and hope Judge McFad-
den will give me the credit of realiz
ing his ri . hit to defend and support
his POLITICAL candidate, so far as ]
know he did it honestly. lam CRATE
tul TO all who voted for me, either
Republicans or Democrats, but ]
fully recognize the right of those
who saw proper TO do otherwise, and
received the verdict ot the people as
kindly as it was given.
II Hon. j. B. Lee used the Ian
guage and influence attributed to
him by Hon. A. Parker, it il certain
Iy inconsistent with his standing as
chairman of the Republican County
Conve ntion and also delegate To the
State Republican Convention, AMI
as DR.. Lee is not likely to allow his
Republicanism 10 l,e thus assaile,l
offering some defense, |
cave it with all confidence in his
hands.
In conclusion, / mildly suggest 10
Hon. A. Parker the justncss and
prnprieiy III the future, of writing
his opinion or IDEAS in
some Benton county paper; it certain
y looks better. Commence, and by
irgrecs identify yourself with th,
interests OF III. county that honor>
you with her confidence, and there.
