The Goldendale Sentinel is fighting
on our side, if we may judge by the
following published in its last issue:
Who is the best man to represent
our interests in the legislature, man
who has cast his lot among us, who is
DESTROYS of advancing the interests of
the county, and who is one of us, or a
man who does not own foot of ground
who is saving his homestead right to
use in other places and who has al
ready another location in his mind to
which he will move as soon as posi-
BILE.
The Sentinel would favor the cleo
ton of Col. B. F. Shaw to the legis-
lature, and let Mr.. West return at
once to California, where he right
fully belongs.

EDITOR INDEPENDENTLY TRADE of
abuse INDUCED in by the crew of the Cancer
against s. w. Brown and other prominent
citizens of this county, is very much like,
and has about as much effect. as SO many
little dogs barking at the moon. The moon
keeps right on in its course, and the little
dogs think they are making music. The
envy and malace displayed in the whole
thing brings forcibly to mind the fable of
the frog and the OK. An old frog once led
his family out ON the meadow to teach them
how to catch flies and bugs. In their ram
bles they met an OK, when one of the little
frogs cried QUITO, daddy, see what big
frogw "Umph," says the boss toad, 81 can
swell up and look as big as that" So he
commenced swelling and swelling and SWELL
ing till he "busted his biler." There is
every probability that this precie us trio, in
their insane efforts to be somebody or &C.
quire some notoriety, will meet with the
same mishap. When such thing happens
may all good citizens be well to windward

The latest manipulation of county
politics by the ring masters is gil
gantic effort put forth this week in
using the official board of the Metho-
dist church of this city as cats paw
for pulling the ring chestnuts out OF
the fire. Uusing this board as some
thing heavy with which 10 intimidate
this paper, through it they demand
that we shall prove what we have
said about Brother Banks or else make
a retractien. All this bears the ear
marks of Byron Daniels, who would
like to use it in this political canvass,
and while the subject is hot make out
that the head ring master is a martyr,
and other ring masters are martyrs,
and therefore should have the sympa-
thy of the voters, followed of course
by their votes. The game is too thin.
Brother Banks is no martyr, only to
his own conduct, and the other ring
masters are martyrs only in having
associated themselves with him in
politics, an act Which they already re-
pent of. The church board has not in
Inundated us SO far as heard from, and
when we take charges before that
board is time enough for it's members
to call on us for evidence. We
have no retractions to make. We
leave that to those persons who have
said something that is not true, OF
which they might think better to have
not said.

1t is much more creditable to the
people to elect good men to county Of
fees than 1t is to cling to party just
because it is party. Having compe-
tent officers is of much more import
ance to the people Of Clarke county
than existence of any party. or the
welfare of the bosses and the machine.
The "party" is susceptible of repairs,
but the acts done by officers through
manipulation of the bosses are not SO
easily amended.

The voters of Clarke county must
not allow themselves to be deceived in
the pending contest. 1t is not the re-
publicans who oppose the so-called re-
publican ticket of Banks, Bloomfield
and Daniels who are destroying the
republican party, but the men who sup
port that ticket, because they support
Bloomfield in his trickery and Dan
iels as his tool. We have before
showed that Bloomfield and Dunbar
are guilty of bargain and sale. Dun
bar was to secure the election of
Bloomfield delegates in Klickitat and
Bloomfield was to see that Dunbar
delegates were elected in Clarke. Dun
bar says he was "allowed to name the
delegates in Klickitat." Every man
of them voted for Bloomfield, and he
kept his part of the contract as far as
it was in his power to do SO. He does
not, and dares not deny it. Such
men are not to be trusted. Their pol
tiles are corrupt and dangerous, and
they must be shorn of their power by
defeat at the polls. Bloomfield and
Daniels have been systematically cor
rupting the politics of this county long
enough, and as political tricksters OF
the worst type they must and will be
effectually set down upon by an over
whelming defeat of their ticket on
Tuesday next.

The body of Carl Anderson, Chi
cagoan, was found, murdered, on Swan
Island, just below Portland, on Sun
day night. About twenty foul MUIR
ders have boon committed in Oregon
and Washington within six months,
and not a single conviction has yet
taken place, and few trials. Justice Is
getting binder than ever, and some
day there will be terrible awaken

A "crank" is man who has per-
suadsd himself that he is the perfect
embodiment of everything that is
good, that he is the superior of all his
associates, that his learning is too
boundless to be eircumscribed, that
the rest Of mankind are mere pigmies
compared with him, that he is pre-
eminently fitted to be leader, that
his prerogative to fashion the opinions
OF everybody is a God given one and
should be 90 regarded. We have heard
from one crank in this city. He is the
boss crank, and he turned his crank
long and loudly last Sunday night,
but 1t will take something more than
q recommendation forced from por-
tion Of the members of his congrsga-
fion to wash bis sins away and make
him what he claims to be, u pure and
honest man. II he persists in putting
his nose up to the political grindstone
he must expect as a matter OF course
to get 1t ground, and ground enough
to lay bare many things which will
not look well in public print. Mr..
Banks was taught by the election q
year ago that he could not run the en-
tire city as he could his little church
clique, and he will be taught this year,
despite his kicking, that Banks
county ticket stands no more show Of
winning than Banks city ticket.
The people Of Clarke county are moi
yst seady 70 acknowledge Banks =
their ruler.

EDITOR VANCOUVER INDEPENDENT:
Sir: Before me lies Mr.. Bloomfelds an
swer to the INDEPENDENTS charges. He
says, II am not committed to any man or
set of men," Here let me say that the
Hon. Mr.. Bloomfield belongs body and soul,
to the o. R. 4 N. Co. That as Prosecuting
Attorney he failed and utterly refused to
prosecute the o. r. & N. Co. for poll tax
due Skamania county from the employees
of said county That said poll tax was law
fully assessed; the employees refusing to
pay, their wages were garnisheed. The
company withheld the money from its en-
ployees, but refused to pay it over to the
county, thereby committing double rob-
berry, and Mr.. Bloomfield fails to prosecute,
and now says that he is not committed to
any set of men, while the o. r. l. N. Co.
men are leaving no stone unturned to elect
him to represent them in the legislature for
Clarke, Skamania and Klickitat counties.
Do you want o. r. l. N. Co. rule? If you
do, vote for N. H. Bloomfeld-if not, vote
for j. B. Landrum.

Byron Daniels says in the ring or
gan ut is notorious that VIM. Gin
der is totally incompetent to be pro-
bate judge Of Clarke county, or any
other county" The above remark is
as unkind as it is untrue. VIM. Gin
der has been prboate judge one term,
and we have never heard any person
find fault with his ofIlcisl acts. His
record il clean, and his Office wa
turned over to his successor in proper
shape. Judge Ginder may not be a.
good clerk as his opponent for the
Office, but he has never been accused
of acting ~ both attorney and judge
on estates In his own court. Judge
Ginder's record will bear favorable
comparison with that Of any one in ths
Cancer crowd.

On Tuesday next the election will
no held. and on that day the people of

On Tuesday next the election will
be held, and on that day the people of
Clarke county will decide by their
votes whether they will nominate and
elect their county officers, or permit a
ring Of machine bosses to do the work
for them. The ring which presents a
Republican" ticket to the voters for
their approval, cracks the party whip
over their heads, and reads out of the
republican party all men who will
not support the party ticket, and all
others who do not support the ring
ticket are denounced as boilers, sore
heads, hoodlums, and the rabble.
Every democrat in the county is thus
designated by Banks, Bloomfield and
Daniels as hoedlums, or the rahble.
Every republican who will not sub
NIT to their personal dictation is la
beled bolter and sore-head. All re-
publicans whom they cannot coax in
to voting their ring ticket they would
drive with the club of party condem-
nation, which in plain words is the
party lash. But men in Clarke county
are like men everywhere else. They
have become disguised with the party
manipulations of BOSSES. The rebel
lion against the bosses and the ma
chine is just as much in dead earnest
in Clarke county as it was in Ohio, or
is in New York, or Pennsylvania. The
consequence is that among opponents
of the ring politics are not taken in
to the account. They have been laid
aside by the people, who propose by
electing without regard to political
professions competent and we'll tried
men to the comfy Offices, to clean out
this ring of tricksters, and teach them
among other things that if they can
not conduct a decent campaign they
should at least conduct civil one.
Neither republicans or democrats are
going to submit quietly to being bossed
orinsulted by the precious trio who still
imagine they can rule Clarke county,
and set over it such men for officers as
they in their great generosity may
designate. Republicans and demo-
Gratis alike will show their indepen-
dsnce in supporting ticket nomi-
mated of the people and for the people,
one that has not been pushed forward
by little church clique to save either
its hungry members or its chief orator
in their longings for an Office and an
opportunity to air their eloquence.
The people should have officers to
serve them, not bosses who will make
servants of the people.
