him It was all right. This is all very
fine, but the people know well enough
what honor in politics means with
such politicians as Dunbar and Bloom
field. To show what Bloomfield in
tended by doing, as he promised,
everything he could in an honorable(?)
way for Mr.. Dunbar we pursue the
subject little further. The Bloom
field Banks Daniels ring had control
of the Clarke county convention, and
were careful to and did elect such mon
as delegates to the Territorial conven-
ton as they believed would do Bloom
fields bidding, except G. w. Durgin
and S. w. Brown, whose selection was
the unwelcome result of some slip or
mismanagement on the part of the
ring masters. TO show that no stone
was to be left unturned and that Mr..
Bloomfield was true to his bargain
with Dunbar, Mr.. Bloomfield called
on Mr.. Durgin to prevail on him to
support Mr.. Dunbar, thus doing every
thing in his power to complete as per-
fectly as possible a well put up job.
Thus it was that Dunbar was to vote
Klickitat county for Bloomfield and
Bloomfield was to vote Clarke county
for Dunbar. No understanding, no
bargain, no sale. Oh no! Certainly
not. But who will believe such silly
assertion?

A report, which has some credit, is
going the rounds that Hitchcock is
merely a figurehead on the Bloom
field-whiskey- Banks-temperance tick
ct, and that in case of election Byron
Daniels will have charge of the au-
ditor's office, performing his duties.
1t has spread SO extensively through
the county, however, that it Is now in
order for Mr.. Hitchcock to follow the
example of the candidate for treas
urer, by coming out in card disown-
ing the would-be deputy.

The Bloomfield and Daniels organ
last week asserted that there was no
understanding, no bargain, no sale,
between Dunbar and Bloomfield a. to
their respective nominations. That
will do to tell the marines, but it is q
falsehood. Mr.. Dunbar personally in
formed G. w. Durgin that the nomi-
nation for joint representative by cour-
tesy belonged to Clarke county and
that the Clarke county delegates In
the Territorial convention should be
permitted to name the nominee. Did
Dunbar keep his word? Did he not
vote for Bloomfield in direct VIOLA
ton Of his declaration to Mr.. Dur
gin? Mr.. Dunbar also told citizen
Of this county, whom we can name,
that he was permitted to name the
delegates from Klickitat county, and
the men Dunbar named voted for
Bloomfield In face Of the fact that the
delegates from Clarke by courtesy and
understanding had the right TO name
the candidate for joint representative
and had named the man, (but he didn't
I'LL Dunbar's wishcs.) In the face Of
these facts can any sane man believe
that there was no understanding, NO
bargain, no sale, between Dunbar and
Bloomfield? No, most smphatically
No, 10 the verdict Of the public. OF
course this precious pair will continue

Mr.. Bloomfield is a model machine
candidate, in that he expects to get
the support of both temperance party
and the liquor interests. He is the
first man we know of who has sue
ceeded in capturing such a support,
and will no doubt acquire fame in the
legislature as the champion of both
sides.

VANCOUVER INDEPENDENT.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 70, 1882.

In Disgusting the issues now Before
the present political campaign, the
ring organ of Bloomfield and Daniels
is trying to make it appear that the
Peoples party is very small affair,
only "Brewn and Bier party" COM
posed of few "bolters, sore-heads and
hoodlums." OF course the writer Of
the articles in the ring organ knows
better, and he is only trying to deceive
the people. 1t is a poor business, hut
it is all he has to do atpresent. His oc-
cupation, which is ''neither lucrative
or useful" will be gone after the 7th
of November. Suppose that the Peo-
ple's party, we call it by the right
name, to be nothing but Brown and
Bier party-would it not then be just
as good as the Banks Bloomfield Dam
iels party? 1t would be just rs
good, but no better, for no party
founded on such basis ought to or
will succeed. The writer of the arti-
Giles in the ring organ, Byron Daniels,
supposes that if he can only throw
dust and dirt enough to blind the peo-
pie as to the real issue, and make
them believe that the object of
the Peoples party is the election Of
Brown and Bier, and nothing more,
he can thereby render the movement
and party unpopular, and thus carry
the election in favor of the candidates
nominated by his ring. But we now
give Byron Daniels due notice, and
all others whom it concerns, that the
Peoples party of Clarke county, now
organized and being organized for the
purpose of putting down political
tricksters and their jobs, is not
Brown-Bier party, is not one man
party nor two man party, but
party comprising two-thirds of the
voters of the county. 1t will meet in
convention on Saturday next, the 14th
inst, and will be better representa-
tive convention of the people than
ever before held, as its delegates are
not the creatures of any ring or fanat-
ical faction, nor the outgrowth Of any
political party. We have no objection
personally to some of the candidates
now before the people, but they are
unfortunately found in bad company.
The Peoples convention may take up
some of them, and it may not. The
delegates in that convention will NOM
mate such men as they think best
calculated to fill the offices and beat
the ring candidates. The conviction
is growing that the ring candidates
will be so badly beaten that it is doubt
full IL their own mothers will know
them. We advise those who don't
want to be hurt to stand from under.
Religion is good in its place, and so is
temperance and temperance organiza-
tions, but when little ring or clique
of the two combined, undertake to
run the politics of whole county, as
they have this, then it is time for the
people to rise and put their feet down
upon it. That is just what the people
here are now doing, and they propose
to do it so effectually on the 7th of No
vember that the lesson will not need
t. be repeated for years to come.
