MORE DISCLOSURES.


In bis interview "Judge" McFadden
who was never elected judge, but was
defeated by r s. Bean, an honest mai
now on the supreme bench lets out
lot of information of interest. Under
the Hugg receiyership he says 500 600
was allowed for attorney fees. Uudtr
Hadley from March, 1893, to Jan. D.
1894, Gest aud Fay be says got S6, so
but put in bill for $4S, 900 against the
Blair Wharton faction who bid in the
road for S2OO, 600. o. course, if they, o.
anyone else gets the road Gest aud Fay
will have to be paid as their bills we
contracted under Fullerton's receiver,
Hadley. They were HAdley's attol-
peys.
McFadden on December 29th last
appeared as attorney for Benton county
and labor claims, amounting to $50 600.
He is probably still attorney for those
claims against the company, and we are
not convinced that he is not now official
legal adviser of Receiver Clark. He
ought not to be. If he was appointed
or is to be appointed 1t ought nevel
to be. He has been lifelong enemy
of the road. He took hand in elect
ing the judge. He has acted for the
labor claims. Any man is unfit to he
appointed attorney for the receiver and
legal adviser Of the property who has
been Its enemy.
McFadden should never be appointed
If Judge Fullerton has appointed him
Judge Fullerton should be removed
from office by criminal process. Judge
Fullerton can easily satisfy the people
by saying that he has not appointed
him. Until he does the people will be-
lieve that McFadden is the power be-
hind the court.
OUR POSITION
from the beginning has been friendly
to the road and friendly to an honest
receivership. Receiver Clark is un'
doubtedly an honest man and deserves
credit for doing his best. But how
much he will be allowed to do under
Fullerton, with McFadden for legal ad
wiser, McFadden who is hostile to the
road, who has been its worst enemy
from the beginning, remains To be seen
If Clark will give the people an hon
est administration he shall have th,
best support the JOURNAL can Q We
him, and of all disiuteres ed people am
newspapers. We have talked viii
hundreds of IN about this o. p. road
We have been up aud down the line IT,
whole length and talked with all lh'
ATTORNEYS about 1t. We are sati,fi4d I
radical change must be had or the state
will lose the road and the peope wi
lose all they have involved. A core
spoudeut on the Santiam writes in ID,
last A lbany Democrat:
If r ceiver Clark does not qu
shaving pSrtiality To the lahoreIs d,
the q. Z. aud Il rs not real Ze Tia,
present financial striugency am Iug th,
material men, it is doubtful If he vii
have much track 10 run on, The mel
here are very bitter against The mtu
agemeut, and they have right t. he
aud # something does not hLppet
pretty quick your correspondent Il
very much mistaken.
The JOURNAL will never counse
violence. But it must be remembered
that the receiverships, extravagant OF
ficials, and lawyer fees, all allowed
under Fullerton AS judge, have brough
about the desttution aud despera
condition Of the laOorers. McFadden
who was II Idley's legal adviser says:
"The fact that the O.P. cannot homo
its liabilities is u fact generally re
gretIed, That there was gross aut
criminal acknowledgement as we'll a
extravaganza uf every kind under tn,
Hnag receivership no one questlous
That there might have Oeeu mor,
rigid economy exercised by HAdley.
Exactly. All this robbing aud strip
ping was done under the eyes Of the
cOurt-or because the court did moi
keep proper eye on what was being
done, or shut an eye while IL was beiul
done. The time has come to stop tn,
whole proceeding aud start new. Til,
