THE Times says it ''intends to
hew straight to the line of truth
regardless of where the chips
may fall" In this new depart
ure of course mistakes are to be
expected, and rnisstrokes the rule
rather than the exception. For
instance. that paper quotes the
GAZETTE as saying: eff there are
any A. P. AS on the ticket ire
publican) they will have to fight
their own battles" The GA
zETTE, of course, said no such
thing. 1t did say, and still says:
eff any of the candidates are run
ming as A. P. A. candidates they
will have to fight their own bat
tles.' We are satisfied that none
Of the republican candidates are
running as anything but republi.
cans. This is not the time fo1
republicans to let personal preju-
dice control their votes. A
united stand for the whole ticket
means a big victory for republi
canism, and our democratic
brethren who have been counting
on republican dissatisfaction will
be sadly disappointed.
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1896-04-23

The Times again fails to chew
to the line of TRUTH The GA.
ZETTE's reference to members oi
the state university faculty is
construed by the Times to mean
E. B. McElroy. The Times may
know that Mr.. McElroy is ''1ned.
ding with the politics of Benton
county," but this paper had ref.
erence to another member of the
faculty. The Times has evidently
gone daft on the A. P. A. ques.
ton, for it brings it in on every
pretext. The Eugene faculty is
only interested in the matter OF
salaries, and the obtrusion of the
member referred to was in regard
to the legislative ticket which
has to do with the Eugene
schools chances at another ap
preparation grab.

ferences and his personal dis
likes. He is not always chary of
an opinion before the
nor after it. This
of personal dissatis-
faction does not mean vote
against the ticket. The republi-
can party is not party of cry
babies; of selfish rule-or-ruin fol-
lowers. Every good republican
realizes what the success of the
republican county ticket means
in June to the republican party,
and will vote his ticket straight
down the line.
There is not a man on the re-
publican ticket, but that is fully
capable of performing the duties
of the office for which he is nom
mated. There is no reason why
a republican should not vote for
every candidate on his ticket,
and every republican will.
The success of the entire re-
publican ticket is assured. Lei
us make the majority signifl-
cant one, and a memorable one.
Let the republican county of Ben
ton Join with the other countie:
of old Oregon, and electrify the
people of the east with the
mighty victory of this Pacific
state for Mckinley and protec
| ton.

A THIN EXCUSE.

Tammany, after scheming for
two years to knock out Ira Hun
ter and finally succeeding, is now
devoting its energy to an appli-
cation of varnish and putty. The
Times says that che has been a
faithful, accommodating officer,
and the only thing that stood in
the way of his denomination was
the report that he belonged to the
A. P. A" AS a matter of fact
the opposition to Mr.. Hunter,
was stirring long before there was
such thing known here as the
A. P. A. The real grievance
they had against Mr.. Hunter was
this: He is not member of
Tammany. Mr.. Hunter received
thirty votes in the democratic
convention. Were they A. P. A.
votes?
Mr.. Hunter had the same op-
position two years ago, but he
proved stronger than Tammany.
The country delegates demanded
his nomination and brought it
about. This year Ta1nmany's
tricks were too much for his gen.
eralship. Tammany had no re-
gard for his "being a faithful and
accommodating oficer.' They
wanted Tammany ticket and
they got it. 1t was a case of old
line democracy VS.. Ta1n1nany.
The Hunter family have long
been identified with the democra-
cy of Benton county. They have
!. been at the back of the party fol
years, and stood high in its coun-
cils, and their name has been
synonymous with sturdy democ-
racy. It has been an unwritten
law among democrats, that sue
cessful candidate should be re-
nominated. Mackay was re-nom-
mated, Osburn was re-nominated,
Waters, Alexander, Ed Bryan,
and others that might be men,
toned were dealt with according
to the customary usage. Tam
many, however, has no respect
for party usage or party pledges
when they interfere with Tam
1nany's plans. Tamnany want
ed to down Hunter because he
was not a Tammanyite. They
wanted to nominate Rickard be-
cause it was thought he would put
cash, and plenty of it, into the
campaign. Hunters defeat
would make room for Rickard.
This is the real secret of Hun
ter's failure to receive the nomi-
nation. The A. P. A. excuse is
all bosh. 1t is Talnmany's un-
scrupulous, and high handed
methods that are causing demo
Gratis by the score to declare that
the democratic ticket must be
defeated root and branch and
Tammany exterminated.
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1896-04-23

PROBABLY one hundred repub-
licans llaveinformed the GAZETTE
this week that Mr.. John Bucf-
anan's name was left off the
ticket published in the last issue.
The omission of course was per-
fectly unintentional and we new
er corrected a mistake more hear
tily than this one, when John
Buchanan's name, as commits
sioner, is added to. the ticket at
the head of this page.

A MATTER OF REGRET.

The Times is nothing If not au-
dacious. What a delicious bit of
effrontry is this: ssIt is matter of
regret that the A. P. A. question
seems about 10 be forced to the
front as an issue i'll the present
campaign" And this, from the
Times! Has Tammany taken wa
ters The loudly proclaimed issue
of the Tammany convention was
A. p. Aism. 1t was Tammany's
last straw, and now the organ of
Tammany tearfully and apologeti-
cally says, sit is a matter OF regret.
The Times has been filled lol
weeks with so called commnnica-
tions OH the A, T. A. question:; SC
much SO that it says 'sthe editor
has had no chance to get in his
say" What a convincing excuse
for cowardice. And now sit is q
matter of regret" Very evidently
Opportunity often makes great
men, and the Times contributors
have at last given the editor g
chance to meet the great question
firmly and unequi~ocally. He
plants his feet upon the solid rocl
of truth. and with martyr-like yea
heroically exclalms: "Though un
doubtedly many persons identified

having reduced sJohn Henry

take. Before the campaign is owe

TRUE BLUE REPUBLIGANISM.

True, genuine, loyal republi-
cans will not be deluded by all
the clap-trap and miserable war
fare Of the enemy. The side is
sues the democratic leaders are
attempting to raise, are not ad-
vanced because of any intrinsic
merit in themselves. The DEM
ocratic party has one great ruling.
overshadowing principfe-anyl
thing to get the offices. The
hope of that party in this county
is to create dissention among re-
publicans. They try salt one
year and sugar the next. The
democratic campaign has been
deliberately planned and is being
carefully conducted.
The republican party is not a
party of petty purposes, of mar
row ideas, Of catch-vote devices.
It is party of broad principles,
of patriotic endeavor. We, who
truly call ourselves republicans
should be proud, and are proud
to be republicans. A genuine,
loyal republican believes that the
supremacy of his party means the
welfare of his country. He works
and votes for the success of his
party, and thus, for the good Of
his country. Petty matters, un-
tangible suspicious, personal
grievances, should not, and will
not, swerve a true republican
from his party or his party's good.
Oregon leads the van in the
political conflict of 1896. The
political air is fraught with rest
lessness. The whole political
policy of the nation for years to
come, depends upon the result OF
the November elections. The
first blow is half of the battle.
A big republican victory in Ore
gon in June will do much to-
wards achieving a national re-
publican victory in November,
and the Oregon victory is as
sured. Let every republican vote
the republican ticket from con-
gresham to constable, regardless
of personal predjudice, and with
out thought of the repugnant
questions that the democrats are
trying to force into the campaign
as issues.
Democratic politicians and the
local democratic paper indulge in
deal of bluster about dissatis-
fed republicans. It is true OF
course that there are dissatisfied
republicans. It would be i1npos-
sible for any political convention
of a party that had good hopes Of
success to put forth ticket that
would be entirely satisfactory to
every member of that party.
Many republicans are far from
satisfied with the entire ticket
nominated in this county. That
is to say: A ticket could have
been named that would have
pleased them better throughout,
Every man has his personal pre-
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1896-04-23

DEMOCRATS realize their des-
perate condition. The triumvir-
rate-Tammany, Pope Wilhelm
and sJohn Henry"-which re,
presents about all that is left of
democracy, is trying vainly every
known method to gain popularity.
There are some good men on the
democratic ticket, but like old
dog Tray, they are running in
bad company. The chariot
wheels of public opinion, against
which Tammany has thrown it
self, will grind the life out of
their political prospects.
