THE real worth of Henry r.
Bristow is best known by his init
mate friends, and as these speak
in the highest terms of him, all
can join them in giving him a
large majority. Mr.. Bristow has
been 4 resident of Benton county
for a long time and is thoroughly
good citizen. For the past few
years he has been giving his at
tsntion to horticultural pursuits
and is now foreman OF the Belfon-
tains fruit farm of some two hun
dred acres. Mr. Bristow is an
excellent penman and a good bus
mess man, and a better selection
for county recorder would have
been hard TO find. For years he
has. been a faithful republican and

party should give him a rousing

Mans Inhumanity to Himself.

The most inhuman outrages, outrages
petrates upon himself by swallowing drastic
purgatives which convulse his stomach, ago.
nize his intestines and weaken his system.
Many people constantly do this under the
impression that medicaments only which are
violent in their action, and particularly ca
thartics, are of any avail. Irreparable in
jury to health is wrought under this mis-
taken idea. The laxative which most nearly
approaches the benefcent action Of nature is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is pain
less but thorough, and invigorates the intes-
final canal instead Of weakening and irri-
tatiting., The liver and the stomach share
in the benign discipline instituted by this
comprehensive medicine, whose healthful in.
fuence is felt throughout the system. Ma
larious, rheumatic, kidney and nervous com.
plants succumb to IT.

FLAG PRESENTATION.

A pleasant surprise was in store
for the organization of the sons of
veterans at their regular meeting
on last Monday evening. At the
clo:e of their business meeting
the women's relief corps, in solid
phalanx stormed their castle and
gained the day. The ladies had
planned to surprise the boys at
this time with the presentation of
a new flag bought by the corps
and they were successful in their
designs. The presentation speech
was made by the president OF the
corps, Mrs. j. 3. Horner, in her
usual happy manner which was
responded to by Captain Will. Ii.
Bloss. After this the sons turned
affairs over TO the ladies and the
following impromptu program
was rendered.: Song, o. A. G..
quartet; speech, F. NJ. johnson;
cornet solo, Prot. Rosebrook. whic h
was encored; address, President

CRITICISM.

No man can go straight through
the world without treading on
somebody's toes. The GAZETTE
does not expect to escape this an
noyance and does not desire it.
Direct opposition between two
honest men is a species Of compli-
ment to both. We do not feel SO
complimented by the criticisms
which the Times makes upon our
articles, because they lack the
essential element Of value-appar-
ent honesty of purpose.
For instance, We condemned a
resolution passed by the democra-
tic county convention because it
was vile traduce of women.
| And we distinctly said we found
no fault with any recommendation
OF economy it might contain, but
censured it solely because it cor
! tanned a contemplate insult to
womanhood. For the third time
the lines has sent out to its read
ers the statement, that the GAZETTE
had denounced that resolution be-
cause we favored extravaganza and
opposed economy. Can any thing
be more contempts BILE than such
perversion as this.
Again, we objected to some re-
marks of a young minister who
forgot his calling and the sanctity
of his mission SO far as to abuse
political parties and church or
ganizations in unwarranted and
offensive language. The Times
makes us to oppose the right of a
minister to follow his holy calling
and says we try to establish a
censorship over the pulpit. Moth
ing can be more dishonest than
such an Interpretation of our
language.
| We are heartily in sympathy
with chu.c ch work and there is no
desire on our part to censure the
ministry, but when a man steps
from the pulpit into the political
arena. the press have right to
criticlse him. Not because of his
particular political views, per-
haps, but simply because he at
tempts, under he guise of preach
ing temp erance sermon. to enter
political fields as a regular cam
paign orator and inform his con-
gregation what ticket to vote. The
Times now undertakes to make
political capital out of our criti
cism Of the reverend gentleman
Now, we do not care.to pursue thi:
unpleasant subject further and re
gret the necessity of this rebuke
But we intend TO speak our mlnC

the wages for the sins they had
Jointly committed is perhaps the
best thing that could have hap
pened.
He has disgraced his family and
dishonored his country; Christian
ity has been disguise for sin and
mockery made of marriage. He
encroached himself upon a COM
munity, and in the name Of
Christianity, morality and every
thing held near and dear, gained
the confidence, respect and es-
teen of neighbors and acquaint-
ances. After outraging moral
law and becoming the basest
counterft of a gentleman he sac
rifices everything that is honor
able in the attribute of a man at
the alter of his carnal desires.
May God pity the wife and
children who have been made to
suffer for his duplicity. May a
charitable community forget that
he ever lived. and opening it's
arms to the injured ones receive
them to their hearts and make
their unpleasant lot as pleasant as
possible. Let his past career be
buried forever III the grave that
holds his forgotten bones. Let nc
slur ever be cast at those who
have in no wise contributed tc
their shame but who suffer fal
more than any one CAN realize
Their life will be dark enough and
all that we may do will add but
little to removing that cloud from
their past. II we can cast one
ray of sunshine into their lives

That genial fellow, Hon. Phil
Metschan, is candidate for re-
election to that highly important
Office of state treasurer. While he
was born in Germany he is
thoroughly American. Mr.. Nets
chan is in every sense self made
man. He began his business Ca
reer in the humble capacity of
butcher, but his thrift and energy
soon enabled him to branch out
extensively into the general mer
chandise business. from which he
retired about six years ago. He
has always taken most active
part in public affairs. During his
long residence in Grant county he
h IS been honored with several i'm
portant public trusts. In 1890, his
abilities were recognized by the
republican party, who nominated
him tor state treasurer. He ran
against one OF the strongest candi
dates on the democratic ticket and
was elected by a good majority
Mr.. Metscham was renOminatei
unanimously and by acclamation
He is popular among all classes o
people, and during the past foul
years has given such universal sat
isfaction that his election at thi
time is assured by il handsome
majority.

THERE are a good many sneer-
ing remarks being made by the
democratic press about U. S. Sen
ator Dolph. If these papers
would speak by the record, they
would say that in the whole SEN

has been more loyal to the inter
ests of the state, or one who has
accomplished more for his constit-
uants. There is no use for the
democrats and populists to kick,

New YORK. that state which
has furnished to this country SO
many illustrious statesmen, was
the birthplace of Hon. John d.
DAILY, the choice of Benton and
Lincoln counties for joint repre-.
sentative on the republican ticket.
Mr.. DAILY was raised and educated
i'll the state of New Jersey. In
an early day he came to this coast
and for several years was engaged
i'm the mercanule business in
Stockton, Cal. In 1878 he came
to Oregon and settled on Yaquina
bay. where he has since resided.
During this time he taught several
terms of school, always giving
perfect satisfaction. For several
years he was also engaged in the
mercantile business on the bay,
and was employed on the survey
and construction of the Oregon
Pacific from its first beginning up
to the time that work was closed
down in 1889. Several years
were spent in the newspaper field
in which he displayed ability of
rare order. You are at perfect
ease III his presence. Having
travelled extensively and 'een a
close observer during the time, he
has become a fluent and interest
ing conversationallst From the
writer's personal observation Of
Mr.. Daily, covering period of ten
years, considerable of which time
was spent in camp together, it is
a pleasure to state that he was
always found to be a true friend
and possessed of many virtues.
Everyone who knows Mr.. DAILY
recognizes in him person of
marked ability, who at once i'm
presses one with his integrety,
high sense of honor and many
other sterling qualities. His nom-
nation was indeed a fortunate
one and one that will commend
itself to every voter in the two
counties.

The republican county conven-
tion paid a fitting tribute to a man
who had served the party faith
fully and well, when they honored
Thos. H. Cooper with the nomi-
nation of representative. Per-
haps no man on the ticket is more
widely or favorably known than
Mr.. Cooper. He was born in ST..
Joe, Mo-, in 1851. When but one
year old his par nts moved to
Oregon and settled in Marion
county. The following year they
moved to Kings Valley, and in
1864 settled ON the farm just west
Of Corvallis where Mr.. Cooper
now resides. He has been a
farmer all his life. and an ener-
getic, pai'staking one. too. He
is not one OF those fellows who
set around sucking their thumbs
deploring the present financial
condition Of the country and de.
mandlng that the government Duy
a straw stack and start paper
mill for the purpose Of grinding
out cheap money. MIR. Cooper
has worked hard, managed we'll,
and by close attention to business
has succeed in laying up some
thing each year and is now in
comfortable circumstances. He
has always been staunch repub
lican and is decidedly popular
among all classes of people, par
ticularly so among his farmer
friends who are legion. No man
need be fearful but that he will
represent the people Of Benton
county, faithfully, honestly and
we'll, if elected. A vote against
Mr.. Cooper will be a vote ior
Pennoyer, remember this and vote
right.

REPUBLICANS should keep their
eye open for the 'campaign liar"
one of those fellows who bob up
serenely just before election with
a great tale of woe regarding this
or that candidate. He also tells
how this or that candidates
friends are going to knife some
certain fellow on the ticket. This
liar is abroad in the land now and
will call on you all before election
day, but don't you believe him;
just vote your ticket straight and
you will be all right.

A NOMINATION that gives general

A NOMINATION that gives general
satisfaction is that of G. NJ. Idle
man for encouragement. He
was born in Marion, Ohio, 36 years
ago. While in the employ of the
railroad mail service his spare
time was spent in the study of
law, and in 1883 he was admitted
to practice III all the courts of
that state. His career in this
state is we'll known. He has al
ways been an earnest and dill
gent student, and has frequently
ignored and sighted social duties
in order to give his entire time
and attention to his chosen pro-
tession, which he is greatly i'll
love with. He is deservedly pop
ular in Portland where he is best
known, and there is little doubt
but that the balance of the state
will place the seal Of their ap
proval upon the convention's s
choice by rolling up handsome
majority. 1t is not often that the
name of young man appears on
the state ticket and in the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Idleman a recog-
milton is made of the valuable
services rendered by the younger
voters, which action will have the
effect of stimulating the boy to
more vigorous work for tn. entire
ticket.
