We were shown copy Of the Herald
tho other day by one Of orr Republican
friends and our attention called TO a
leader in that paper undertaking to
show that the late Democratic County
Convention was not conducted in fair
and honorable way, and the editor Of
that sheet in sort OF school boy style
has u great deal 10 say about bull. doing
and boiling. We have talked with
nearly all of the delegates who attended
the Democratic County Convention
from this part Of the county, ~ well as
some who were candidates be.Ore the
Convention, aud all, without an excep-
tiou, say that while the contest was
close ahd spirited, yet every candidate
seemed To realize the fact that merit
alone would win. have also been IN
formed by those who were members Of
the Convention that for all the positions
on tke ticket where there was any con
tost Mt all many ballots were required
to decide the matter, showing that there
were no underhanded jobs or corrupt
combinations aud tho people Of the
Forks, while they failed on some Of
their candidates, are well satisfied with
the ticket, believing that it was fairly
and honestly selected by the Conven-
tior, and knowing that the men who
have been placed ufon the ticket are,
without single exception, honest and
capable. Many Of them have hereto
fero been before the people and have
been elected 70 and filed positions Of
public trust, with credit 10 themselves
and their party. No, AIR. Hsraid, you
cannot say, truthfuliy, anything derog.
atory 10 the character ofany Of the can.
didatas on our ticket, aud your silly
twaddls abont tho ''grangers sitting
down on this boilers convention" etc,
is entirely too thin. The fact IL the
grangers are well represented on our
ticket and you know il. and we believe
that their interest, as well as the iater-
ests Of the whole people, will be cub
servod h el~cting tho entire Democrat
ic ticket ia June. And We warn you,
Mr. HeraH, to confne yourself TO the
truth throughout this campaign. The
people have not forgotten your course
two years ago. Bitter personalities will
not avail you anything at this time,
aud IL you viii examine the record Of
tho different candidates on our ticket
fairly and honestly (as you say you will
you will find them all honest and capa-
bic. Dir. Herald, we row give you
notice that the people Of the Forks are
solid for tho Democratic ticket State

BY Judge Lords decision one-hali
OF the public roads Of this State We're
declared null and void. This entail
ed heavy expense upon The people
Of the STATE, for in order to render
their roads legal public highways
they will have TO get up new petitions,
have viewers and Surveyors appoint.
cd, and thus relocate their road
anew as though they had never been
established as roads. Lawyers say
they have never beea able TO see tho
force Of the reasoning OF tho court

The little man of the Herald is in
great tribulation over e Democratic
ticket Of Linn County, and in an agoniz-
ing manner boo-hoos about the corrupt
ring of Albany bull.dozing the country
candidates and Changers, and in les
usual and unfair way tho HerS4d insinu.
ates that the men placed upon our tick
ct arc dishonest and incapable ALI
this fuss and feathers on the part OF
the Herald will amount to nothing.
So far as any ring in Albany running
the county convention IL concerned, we
refor our readers Ia the men who rep.
resented the the two Albany Precincts
IN our county convention. The two
Albany Precincts had in the conven.
ton fifteen delegates, and out of the
fifteen only six were from the city, the
rest were all farmers and Grangors
ftom the country. Three OF tho six
from town were Changers; thus twelve
cut of the ffteon delegates were farm
ers and Changers. The following are
the names of tho fifteen who tho
Herald insinuateS compose tho corrupt
ring: Mart Miller, G.. +. Crawford, Geo
Hochstedler, l. G. Dickey, .. Fry Jr.,
Phil Swank, Robt Houston, VIM Rails.
ton, l.. @. Marshall, j. j. Davis, Coop
or Turner, jesse MoGhOo, J. B. jerks,
A Blovins and A. w. Gordon. These
are the men the Herald claims aud an.
nounces arc the Albany ring We say
TO the Herald man, and to every other
person, that these are no ring men,
but arc of the Tery best citizens Of the
county. Men that have the interests Of
the people at heart, and arc credit to
the party to which they belong. They
are as far above the gushing quill shower
of the Herald as truth is above faischood
and the iEsinuation by tho Herald that
they have engaged in anything dishon
est or corrupt is not true aud such
statement was conceived in falaehood
and is libel upon the good nau:o OF
these gentleman. All the assertions by
tho Herald about boiling contains
about az much truth as tho above
statement about rings, etc. Grind on.
ye little man; your illusions are but
the expression Of the impressions pro
du ed upon your troubled mind while
wandering through the labyrinths Of
fraud and corruption in the late Re-
pAbliean State Convention, and 30
strong are those Impressions, aud 40
heavy do they weigh upon your mind
and conscience, that you nrc irresintably
forced to disgorge in order TO obtain
partial relief at least. Don't lot the
Democratic tieke: worry you 80. You
nave been highly honored o. by your
Republican State Convention, and no
doubt through your own personal in
auence as a delegate to tha. convention
you succeeded in securing for Linn
Coanty the high compliment Of being
allowed member OF the State Central
Committee, aud BY reason Of your in
Auencs as such delegate together sith
tho powerful influence Of your paper,
SCI will ssnd his man Friday around
with bis little saschel and the Herald

THOSE LOCKS.

Had ii not been for Rufss Mallory
the State to day would own the Locks
at Oregon City and the Willamette
river would be the cheap highway fer
the people of the Willamette Valley.
AS it is the river is virtually locked up
TO preycn. competition and o reduction
of freights. And this is to be forever.
The peoples right in this regard has
gone into the hands of the monopoly
that will rule with an exacting rod
When the question of purchase was in
tho Legislature, Mallory favored the
sale to the State and worked hard for
it until some political consideration
was sprung upon him and suddenly he
change tactics and detaatod the bill.
The mystery was never solved.

The harmony which existed in the
Democratic ranks at the close of the
Convention last week vas viewed with
disgust By Republican leaders, end
forthwith the editor of the Herald was
instructed to misrepresent facts in bis
report of the deliberations of that body.
He followed bis instructions to the let
ter, and let off one Of the worst mixed
up charges We have ever asen come
from that source. It was composed of
about equal parts of faIaehood, praise,
entreaty. prayer, male9icsion, mixed
sparingly with tlnth in very minute
parcels.

en- of May 18th makes a statement
which is false and shows a malignant
desire to injure Col. Elliott. The en-.
tire article referred to is unfair and es-
pecially so is the following
''It is simply one Of Elliott's made up
games"
The facts are, the telegram published
in the papers was correct. April 29th,
1882, we did receive dispatch from
G. s. Clark, New York, asking permis-
sion of Col. Elliott to his reprint his
(Elliott's) great speech, verbatim. We
Immediately saw Col. Elliott and he
gave his consent, and we telegraphed an
answer accordingly. Col Elliott knew
nothing of the telegram until it was
shown him by us

Qua convention last week vas very
warm, and the contest between the
friends of the different candidates was
decidedly interesting. SIunksrs, Scott
and Burmester made a gallant fght for
the nomination for Sheriff, but on the
ninth ballot Humphrey received tse
nsmination. It is bat due to the gan
tleman who were defeated to say thai
all announced it as their intention to do
everything that lay ia their power for
the success of the whole ticket. While
each enc, of course, felt disappointed,
there was no i'll feeling displayed, This
Is as It should Be, and the people will
look upon these gentlemen with pride.
It isn't every msn that can bear ds-
feat.

Ir sheuld be remembered

Ir sheuld be remembered by vO-
ters that e. D. shattuck, candidate
for Supreme Judge, is not a party
man, while Judge Lord Is knewn to
be very active partisan. The pee
pie want a non-partisan court, one
that will look to the well being, peace
and prosperity of the people rather
than the interest of party. For that
reason, men without regard to their
party relationship have concluded to
elect E. d. Shattuck. Ths court
with IShattuek on the bench, would
stand two active Republicans and one
no party man, while II Judge Lord
should be elected it would be COM
posed Of three active partisan Repub-
licans.

Editor Democrat:
I notice in the last number of your
paper that the late Democratic Con-
ventisn had placed me in nomination
for County Surveyor. While | am
thankful 10 the Convention fer the
henor, 1 most respectfully and decided
ly decline the nomination for the rea-
son that my age, as well as continued
i'll health and lack of physical strength,
render me unable to attend to the du-
tres Of the office. | hope that the
Central Committee willat once appoint
some suitable person to fll the vacancy
on the ticket.

4 Tramp's Philosophy.

In the hip pocket of an old vagrant pulled
in by the police the other night was a mem
orandum book of his own writing with pen.
Gil, and some of his philosophy is good enough
To- be preserved. His first paragraph reads :
drinking bad whisky because il is offer.
ed free is like getting in the way of bullets
purchased by an enemy
a second reads
Honesty is the best policy. but some folks
are satisfied with second best. 1t is hard to
be honest on an empty stomach
\ third runs:
"A dry plank under rain.proof shed is
better than Il feather bed in iail, and one isn't
annoyed by the iai!cr bringing in square
breakfast
\ fourth says:
Pay as you go. Ifyou haven't ANYTHING
10 pay with don't go. If you are forced to
go, record every Indebtedness and let your
heirs settle the bills"
The fifth explains;
I'VE should have charity for ALL When
the winter winds blow cold and drear we
vags should pity the poor fellows in India who
are having red-hot weather"
a sixth is recorded
"Politcncss costs nothing but il is not cN.
pected that you will wake a man up at mid.
night to ask permission to go through his
henhouse. 1t is more courteous to let him
enjoy his needed reposc."
The seventh and the last was noted down
as follows
when you pick up an apple core do not
find fault because ii is not the apple itself,
but be satisfied with the grade of descent
Do not be ashamed of your occupation. We
cannot all be lords, nor can we all be yag-
rants BE truthful and outspoken-,hat is,

will get your plank first Be hopeful, cheer
