A REITERATION.

EDITOR GAZETTE. One J. N. Hoffman,
attempts to vlntlicate Asa Alexander in an
article published in last weeks Times He
says, 'Trhe article published in the GAZETTE
of last week signed "A Voter can only be
the work of an Infamous coward and one
who would make believe he was fr nd
and would work into h. graces of one only
to have an opportunity to stab him i'll the
back. 1t is not necessary to say here that
the article has not a sentiment of truth in
be man not given to stoop to such. Mr..
Alexander 'loes not consider it necessary to
write denial to such base accusat tiol
from one who would willfully lie an !
not be the man to attach his name"
| wish to state right here that every word
of the article published over the signature
of "a Voter" in the GAZETTE is an absolute
truth and J. n. Hoffman knows 1t ns well
as all of the residents of Kings valley. and
Alexander dares not deny that he kept All
open saloon two years ago at his residence
and that many of the young voters of Kings
valley imbibed liquor served by him for the
interest of Mackay until the polls were
closed. lie made no secret of It; furthur
more his past record as financier is any.
thing but good. He has had several good
financial starts in life, but failed in every
instance to make anything out of them.
The greater part of Alexanders entire life
has been spent in Kings valley; for so'ne time
past he has been in a logging camp, and he
has never had any opportunity to inform
himself OH the values of profstr.A and if the
voters should by any means make the mis-
take of electing him to h "tfi lee If assessor
they will find that they have merely put up
an ignoramus who will be an object of ridi-
Guile and laughing stock for the more intel
iigent voters, one who is willing to become
a tool in the hands of any who are nnscru-
pulons enough to take advantage of his pia-
bility.

LOOK At THE PAIR.

Sol King and Norm Lilly, one a
candidate before and the other a
delegate to the republican county
convention, both going over the
county doing dirty work for Dave
Osburn. One is actuated by the
small motive Of beating a man
who fairly defeated him in the
convention and the other is work
ing as he always has done, for
money. The republicans of this
county will do themselves credit
if they will one and for all times
place The seal of their condemna-
ton on the conduct of these men
and put the politics of Benton
county Oh higher standing.

Head off the cnnepaign liar.

EVIDENTLY realizing the utter
hopelessness of their cause, as a
whole, the democrats are making
Il most desperate fight to secure
the election of a few Of the favor
ed ones on June 9Th. Their case
is desperate and they hesitate at
nothing to gain their ends. Mis-
representation, to call it by its
mlldest name, is freely indulged
in, and all sorts of reports con-
tanning not a word OF truth are in
dustriously being circulated
throughout the country. Repub
licans are warned to be ON their
guard against these false reports.
Be not deceived by them.

WITHOUT FOUNDATION.

The following is an answer to B. f. Jones'
slanderous article published in the Leader
last week against VIM. jolly. Comment is
unnecessary except that it brands the or.
ticle referred to as false to the core, and
shows it to be only fake gotten up by
Jolly's enemies for the sole purpose of in
juring his reputation. Read the affidavit:
STATE OF OREGON,
COUNTY OF BENTON.
I, Eugene Williams, saloon keeper of
Newport, Benton county, Oregon, being
first duly sworn, depose and say: That
| republican ticket has never bought any lig.
uors of me, nor authorized me to use any
liquors in his interest, nor left any money
with me for the purpose of buying any, at
| his, or any other time. Further, that the
statement made to the effect that he has
done so, is untrue, without any foundation
and most unqualitiedly false.

THE FACTS.

The Corvallis Times, in its last
issue, says, But for Crosno and
Cauthorn TIE Alsea road bill
would never have seen the light o:
day. Now the facts are that MIR.
Belknap was the author of the
bill and it passed the house as such;
it went into the senate and, it
being a county measure, it was
Mr.. Cauthorn's duty to see it
through if possible and no doubt
he would if he had been in posi-
ton to do so. The unusual num-
Der of bills on the calandar and
the nearer approach of the end Of
the session made it necessary TO
commence at the top of the roll
call and allow each member i'll
the senate as the roll was called to
name his bill, house or senate, as
he choose. Mr.. Cauthorn,. under
this announcement said he had
bills of more Importance and
could not take up the BelknaD
bill. After the reading had been put
through, they then commenced at
the bottom of the roll and called
upwards, but Mr.. Cauthorn said
he was still loaded with bills and
could not reach the Alsea road
bill. It seemed as though this
bill could not be reached at that
session. However, the senate rush
ed it's business and made another
reading of the roll call backwards,
and then it was moved to com
menee in the middle of the roll Of
members andl work both ways;
this was the last day and Cau-
tllorn's name being at the head
would not be called in time. Now,
what was to be done i'll seeking a
way out of the dilemma. MIR. A.
II. Hamilton and r. r. Cunning
ham said Senator Norval had gone
up the valley and would be down
on the 10 o'clock train and he had
no bill, and he felt sure he would
take the Alsea bill up when his
name was called. Of course no
time was lost in seeing Senator
Norval and he said yes. He was
in his seat and l think the next
name called was Mr.. Norvals and
he moved the passage of the Alsea
road bill; it was close call and all
honor to J. w. Norval, whom |
always address as Benton's 'smas-
Cote" Mr. Cauthorn could not
and didnot assist very much in this
matter. That he would have done
so | have no doubt. Mr.. Crosno did
all he could, but Mr.. Belknap IS
entitled to all the credit of getting
this bill through. he never lost
sight of it. The Times is in error,
and the proceedings of the senate
will show that Mr.. Cauthorn did
not have anything to do with the
bill in the senate. / say this with
all my old time respect feeling that
nv dead friend, were he alive,
would corroborate my statement

TUE republican candidate for
treasurer, Mr.. d. G. Rose, is gen
tleman who was wisely selected
by the republican convention by
luminous choice. He is man who
can command the solid republican
vote of Benton county and that is
all he needs to be elected. Mr..
Rose is man who has been !,
good citizen here for many years
and is eminently qualified for
treasurer. He has good sense and
is not the kind of man who Gre
ates disturbances III the body of
politics. MIR. Burnett, his oppon
ant, can hardly say SO much if we
correctly read the advertisement
of most worthy gentleman in
his party, Mr.. Buchanan. If we
are correctly informed Mr.. Burnett
assured Mr.. Buchanan he would
not stand in the way for this nom
ination. But the 'sring' couldn't
see it that way and consequently
something had to be done. MIR.
Buchanan is not a "ring" man,
but is worthy deserving partisan
and ought to have been nomina-
ted, III which event Mr.. Rose
would not have had SO easy a race.

NIR. GEO. MERCER is too well
known TO need much introduction
TO the people OF Benton county.
For years he has been a resident
here and has surveyed more miles
of line than any other man in
Oregon. His work is correct and
has been tested time and time
again. When people want any
particularly close surveying done
they always call on MIR. Mercer
for he is undoubtedly the best
surveyor in this county and has
the finest and most reliable in
struments. He is the man to vote
for to be county surveyor.

DESPERATE cases requires des-
perate remedies, this is the case
with some democrats. Nothing is to
mean or too low for them to say of
VIM. jolly. He is the man they
wish to defeat by fair means or
foul; very many things are being
said of him now that the defamers
would blush to see out one day
after the election.

Mr.. j. O. STEARNs, one of the
candidates for representative on
the republican ticket, has not been
out on the canvass owing to sick
ness in his family. He is one of
the best informed men west of the
mountains. There are some things
Benton county needs. There is a
a good deal of legislation of a
practical nature which it takes a
good clear head to comprehend
and an industrious man to accom-
plish. Mr.. Stearns is such man
and Benton county will have no
cause to be ashamed of one of her
representatives if he is elected.
Mr.. Stearns and Mr.. Ingle, one OF
1.-The democratic candidates for
this office, were understood
to have SPARED OFF, for
the canvass, Notwithstanding
which Mr.. Ingle has broken into
that agreement, which hardly
seems fair to fair minded men. A
voter asks if this is the same J.
w. Ingle who used to run a ware
house at Dayton, Oregon, and who
took the tenth sack for toll, always
advising the hands to pack down
the tenth sack solid and tight.
Mr.. Ingle's history has been an in
teresting one 10 remember. Heis
on record as a preacher, a prohibi-
Zionist, sore head and a democrat
as well as man with principle with
| a head full of theories which
would crack less solid skull. Mr.
Ingle is also a quasi real estate
shark. The records Of the court
would be interesting reading fol-
voters who want men of principle
in the legislature. Most broken
down preachers as a rule, when
they have principle (s) deteriorate
| into something quite the reverse
lof followers of the meek and low
lily Savior. Such men having lost
their sanctity are not the kind oil
people to send to the state legis-
lature. Ii you vote for lIr
IStearns it will be all act for which
you will always be grateful wher
you have learned the character ol
the two men. Those that already
know don't need any advice.

JAS. ROBERTSON, the republican
candidate for assessor, IS a down
east Yankee and is as sharp as
steel trap. He is the kind OF a
man who cannot be fooled i'll re-
gard to property. If elected he
will find the property and assess it
according to law. He is a good
industrious and worthy man and
ought to be supported by every
republican i'll the county.

WATCH THEM.
1t7'eP.

On election day every republi-
can should be On his guard. All
kinds of contemplate stories will
be circulated against William
Jolly; the whole fight is being
made OH him, and the desperate
measures resorted to only show
too conclusively the weakness OF
their man Dave Osburn. Repub-
licans, do your duty and you will
have nothing to regret after the
votes are counted Oh the 9th OF
June.

The Corvallis, Times with its
usual extravaganza of expression
and economy of facts, makes the
assertion that Mr.. Gragg, candi-
date for school superintendent,
lives in The extreme south end Of
the county and that he has not
been principal of the Philomath
college, bit of a private school i'll
private house. For fear this pc
culiarly eccentric editor Of the
Times may mislead some one who
has come among us lately, we
will say that Mr.. Gragg was raised
on farm in the Belknap settle
ment, but for the last ten years
has lived in Philomath, where he
has been going 10 school and
teaching. that he now lives there
and will continue there where he
may be found at any time. Also.
that he has charge Of the United
Brethren college at that place..
and that neither he nor the church
which controls he college has
maze any new departure or any
attack upon any other society or
order whatever; that the school is
held at private house at present
because the school building was
burned short time ago. The as
sertion that Mr.. Gragg is not in
sympathy with school institutes
is totally false. as he has attended
and taken a leading part in every
one within reach for several years.

INTEND TO SWAP.

It's no longer secret that swap
ping is one of the means the dem
ocrats intend to use OH election
day. A prominent democrat Of
Toledo said yesterday, "We do not
care so long as we can elect
Osburn and Burnett. You repub-
licans may have the rest" He
said they intended to swap every
man OH their ticket to that end.

BE CAREFUL HOW YOU VOTE.

This is our last issue before the election,
which occurs next Monday, June 9Th.
We wish to remind republicans OF the
Importance of going to the polls and of be.
ing on their guard.
Nail all campaign lies in the head.
1t is certainly to be hoped that no repnb
lican voter will be caught by any cheap and
worn-out dodge.
1t is important that the full republican
vote be polled for several reasons. The
first is that the state, district and county
tickets are good ones, made up of men well
qualified for the places for which they are
aspiring to fill. IF ANY CANDIDATE IS NOT
YOUR CHOICE, COMPARE HIS RECORD AND HIS
FITNESS WITH THE OPPOSING CANDIDATE, and
| we believe you will vote straight, clean
ticket
Then the republican national convention
meets the next day, the 7th, in Minneapolis
They should have good cheer by the new
OF sweeping republican victory.
Give at least your individual work ant
vote to help cheer the Representatives of tn,
republican hosts of this country
Then Oregon being the first state (excep
Rhode Island) to give an index of wha
may be expected in November, is anothc
reason why you should give your best ef
forts to make the victory certain. Advel
tise Oregon with great republican victory

Several hours passed before there was

her anxiety about the safety of herself
and baby gave way to dread concern
ing his fate. While the wind shrieked
and the snow fell in binding sheets,
she comforted herself that he was snug
ly housed in the village beyond, but
when he did not come in reasonable
length of time after the storm had SUBJ
sided she became greatly alarmed, and
over and over again wandered down the
drifted lane calling wildly for him to
come back. AT last, almost in despair,
she made her way to the cabin of her
nearest neighbor, who, with quick
western sympathy, went at once to

snow-drifts in the narrow lane, and
half-an-hour later, almost in range
with the light Ruby had placed in
the window, one of the men stumbled
over dark object which proved to be
Dicks half-frozen body. He was not
dead, but it took hours of patient rub
bine and bathing to coax back the
heart-throbs that at first seemed to
have stopped forever. During those
hours of terrible suspense, Ruby had
plenty of time to review the stormy
scene of the afternoon, and in deep re-
morse to weep over the estrangement
which her hasty words had caused.
