Holm and Bryan.

ED. GAzETTE:-It is not often, and GER
tainly not in the regular line of campaign
work, that candidates should cause reports
to be circulated that under other circum-
stances would be detrimental to their inter.
ests, but such seems to be the case in the
instance to which am about to allude
There ls report in circulation through the
county to the effect that E. L. Bryan, NOM
inte on the democratic ticket and present
incumbent of the office Of county school
superintendent of Benton county, is in the
habit of getting drunk whenever favorable
opportunities present themselves. This is
indeed news to the people of Philomath,
where he has lived since early childhood
and all know that ifshe had no greater sin
than this to answer for and his moral char
acter was as blameless in other respects as
in this particular, his passport to the king.
dom when Gabriel blows his trumpet would
indeed be there. The above report comes
from Monroe, Fart of the county where
Bryan has done the principal part of his
campaign work; part of the county where
Professor Holm is not known and has
never visited. E. L. Bryan, with his small
following, appear to be straining every
nerve in the way of circulating any and all
kinds of reports which they may think
detrimental to the interest of his worthy
opponent. 1t is said that Professor Holm
is comparatively a stranger in Benton
county;this is true, but to their astonishment,
he is making friends wherever he goes and
is'developing a strength under which their
boasted majority cf two hundred is fast
disappearing and it would doubtless be to
the interest of E. L. Bryan were he also
a stranger, particularly to voters of Philt.
math precinct. as will be clearly demon.
strated on the 4th day of June next.
There has developed general dissatis-
faction with his official administration; he is
charged will, not visiting the schools of the
county as the law requires. He is also
charged with partiality in the examinations
in granting certificates to applicants above
their grades and denying others where their
grades entitie them to pass, as one lady is
said to have expressed it in Corvallis some.
time since, that she obtained q first-grade
certificate because her brothers electioneered
and worked for Bryan two years ago. He
is also charged with using his official
capacity in the interest of teachers belong
ing to certain factions to the detriment of |
others better qualified. but not belonging to |
said certain factions. In conclusion, Mr.. |
Editor, appeal to the voters of Benton
county in order that we may have an honest
and impartial administration of our school |
affairs in the coming two years to vote for
r. F. Holm for county school superin-
tendent. A VOTER.

DR.. M. ]. Davis is prominent physician
of Lewis, Cass county, Iowa, and has been
actively engaged in the practice of medicine
at that place for the past thirty.fve years.
On the 26th of May, while in DesMoines,
enroute to Chicago, he was suddenly taken
with an attack of diarrhea. Having sold
Chamberlains collie, cholera and diarrhea
remedy for tho past seventeen years, and
knowing it's reliability, he procured 25
cent bottle, two doses of which completely
cured him. The excitement and change of
water and diet incident to travelling often
produce a diarrhea. Every one should
procure a bottle of this remedy before leav-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure de eafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition Of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inaamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out oe ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition Of the mucuous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send
for circulars; free.

full of bugQies and fine horses, while he

For long time Mr.. Bruce and family
have been looked upon with pity by the
sympathizing community who were thinkin s
of takin. up a collection for him and his
starving family but had finally concluded to
petition the county court to make the m .
county charge and send them to the poor

There was nice little meeting of pops
and prohis at Oakville, in Linn county, on
Tuesday, as was easily seen by the picnic
being held at the intersection of three dusty
roads surrounding the town pump. 1t was
a cute little affair. indeed, for when the
windy utterances of Ramp and fellow Cox
eyites went rolling down the lane to get
hung up on the hazel brush, they could i'm
mediately adjourn to the aforementioned
cucumber pump and soak their collapsible
heads. Everybody cheered everything that
was said and scanned totally unmindful Of
the cruel splinters which were penetrating
their seats of knowledge and populist prin-
ciples, and all returned to their neglected
homes, full of visionary plans for spending
their many thousands of machine made,
without interest, dirt-cheap money.

BLoDGETT, May %.


Quite an audience of ladies and gentlemen
greeted the candidates here to-day. The
meeting was held in the warehouse and W: Q
presided over by J.y Harris, who filled the
bill to dot. Maj Bruce was the first on
the list and rauted around for fifteen min
utes, which, by the way, is the time now
allotted to all the candidates, telling how
the old parties were rotten,-oh, well, you
know what they say, the same old story.
Tolbert Carter followed in one of his sensi-
bic talks and made many friends. He is
making friends rapidly. Tolbert told the
people how he had been instructed in the
repub' ican principles by Judge Chenoweth,
who is on the canvass running the party
down for all he is worth. Thos. Stakley
snprteo awhile for the Iops. Money!
Money! is all he can say. John Daily fol.
lowed with neat speech and referred to
the parties by saying that the two old
parties had record and the other had a
scheme. Felix Dudele. who has been dub
bed ''Crazy Felix" showed his eloquence
for his allotted time, and five minutes more,
which was given him by Mr.. Daily. If
Felix gets any worse a commission will be
appointed to examine into his sanity.
Something IS surely wrong, for when You
stand close to MIN the buzzng of cogwheels
in his head can be plainly heard.
A. F. Hershner now made few remarks
which were we'll received. At this juncture
Dodele flew to his feet again and caused
Chairman Harris to call him down grace
fully. The several candidates for school
superintendent were introduced and spoke
a few words. Miss Harrington stated
that she was one of the schemers men
toned by MIR. Daily. She didn't make the
impression she thought she would with the
boys Hufford and Cauthorn closed the
meeting with short speeches. ''Crazy
Felix" tried to hold the crowd longer but
failed.

SUMMIT, May II, 1884.
The Political canvass opened in

called to order about o'clock and a rather
small audience greeted the populist candi-
dates and Hon. Tolbert Carter, who were
the only ones on the grounds until the ar
rival Of the train about p. M, on which
were the rest of the rominees for the dic-
ferent offices. Hon. Tolbert Carter, being
on the sick list, retired early, and Maj
Bruce. populist candidate for joint senator,
took advantage of this and made the remark
that Carter was a gold bug and a million
are, but neglected to remark at the same
times much money as Hon. Tolbert, and
just as much gold bug. The boys of the
town had little fun at the expense of the
populists this day. OF course we all know
that it is customary at this time of the year
for cigars to be passed rather freely. OF
curse the pops were tackled for.cigars and
'stively refused. They vainly tried f. r

grew weary, and taking up a collection
