THE Times artfully processes

THE Times artfully processes
to believe that the GAZETTE has
attacked Mr.. Richard because he
is rich; calls the Office force chaps,
churls, dishonest scribblers and
other cute names, then piously
scores Mr.. Waggoner, because he
has not all the money he would
like. 1t is true Mr.. Wagon
er is no Shylock. 1t must be
confessed that he failed to put
his money out at 10 per cent on
+! first class mortgages, but invest
ed it in various enterprises that
tend toward the development OF
some of the county's industries.
It is 1amentable fact that these
democratic times have not made
those enterprises particularly
profitable. It is useless to deny
that Mr.. Waggoner, without be
ing extravagant, is liberal and
public spirited, considerate and
generous with his family and
his friends. Certainly this com.
bination of personal qualities
and governing circumstances dc
not build up a mans bank ac'
count. When citizens private
business affairs becomes the sub
iect of editorial comment, il
shows that the paper is hare
pressed for an issue.

THE audacity of the Times bor-
ders on the classic. The cheer
fulness with which it assumes
that attacks upon itself are di-
rected toward someone else, is
refreshing. That paper repub-
fishes Mr.. Knots letter to the
GAZETTE and says it was to re-
flute statements in the GAZETTE
which placed Mr., Knots in a
false light. This is doubtless
bewildering news to Mr.. Knots.
The Times had said that Mr.
Knots refused to come before the
republican convention for A. P.
A. reasons. Mr.. Knots wrote
the letter to correct the impress
ion that might get out owing to
the itnpediment in the Times
veracity. Mr.. Knots confesses
he does not like the resolution.
Geo. Lilly didn't like it either.
He would like to be clerk under
the present condition of things,
but he can make as much money
elsewhere, as in the clerks Of
fee, if he has to pay his own
deputy. Mr.. Knots is a good
republican and states his position
fairly over his own signature, in
letter for republicans in the re-
publican newspaper. Mr.. Knots
is not in the business of furnish
ing campaign thunder for the op-
position party. This was simply
a matter between republicans; a
difference Of opinion, not a dis
cord. Mr.. Knots is not a candi-
date for Office and the Times
should at least use him fairly, if
it does spit at the republican CAN
didates. He has written one let
ter to correct the unpleasant
charge of the Times. That
should be sufficient, but the
Times, not satisfied, tries a new
tack on him. Please leave Mr..
Knots alone. He is perfectly
able to talk for himself. He is a
private citizen, and the fact that
he is a republican does not give
the Times authority to 1nisrepre-
sent him.

THE populist party has its would
be bosses. 1t can not helpit. But
it is evident that they will not be
able to do much effective bossing
this year. 1t was the Tammany
boss's fine Italian hand that
brought about the nomination OF
Mr.. Underwood for sheriff. Not
that Mr.. Underwood was party
to the plot. He was intended as
the innocent sacrifice to the god of
Tammany. He has, however, de-
clined the to be candidate, and
so another of Tammany's schemes
has come to naught.

For your Protection Catarrh 'Cures" or

For your Protection.-C Catarrh "Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. It starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits Of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, SO cents.

THAT it may not be necessary
for the Times to hunt up syno-
ny1ns for "snut mill," "dishon-
est scribblers,'' y "churls," " "dirty
and double-faced attacks" and
other endearing terms, we will
explain now that when we say
"stub end'' of the Tannany
ticket, we 1nean no personal re-
hections on Mr.. Maddux. We
simply refer to the brief period
between his nomination and the
election. Mr.. Maddux is a genu-
inc philanthropist. The poor
ticket had no head and no tail.
Georges modesty prevented him
from furnishing a head, but he
was bound the poor thing should
have a tail.

TAMMANYIrEs brag on the streets

TAMMANYITEs brag on the streets
about the money they have for
election purposes. They hunt up
some republican whom they know
is fiat broke, and offer to bet from
500 up on almost any proposition.
They profess to believe that the
fact that the republican candidates
are not prodigal with their cash
goes to show that they are doubt
full as to the results. The republ
can candidates it is true, can not
afford to purchase, their election.
There are necessary and legitimate
campaign expenses to meet, and
these of course will be provided
for, but it must be remembered
that the offices will be worth $5, 900
more to the democratic candidates
than to the republicans, if they
succeed. The democrats can we'll
afford to spend two or three thous-
and dollars if it will elect them,
for the dear people would eventu-
ally pay the money.

A BUSINESS ISSUE.

When the issue between the
two party tickets is the saving of
IS, to the county, the tax pay
ers are personally and actively
interested. This is the issue that
confronts the people of Benton
county today. The average vo-
Ter grows disgusted with the usual
clap-trap and old gossip style OF
campaign, but is justly inter
ested In plain facts and figures.
The republican convention re-
solved in favor of the county
officials paying for their own dep
uty hire out Of their own salaries.
The republican candidates have
pledged themselves in accordance
with this resolution. The DEM
ocratic convention did not favor
this economy and its candidates
are not before the people as will
ing to accept the Offices under
such an agreement. We have
here a local issue that can de dis
cussed sensihly.
TO discover what the proposed
saving to the county actually
means, we will take the official
records for the past FL months,
beginning with July 1st, 1894,
when the present officers quail
fed. The financial exhibit of
the county for the first eleven
months of the present official
term, which was reported to the
county court last August by
County Clerk Hunter, shows that
for the said eleven months the
following salaries including depu-
ty hire were paid: Sheriff, $2,-
oa7.a4; clerk, 81, 3S2. 81; record
er, 81, 12o. 50; assessor, $9S1.
This financial exhibit includes
the salaries for May, 1895. Since
that time the following bills have
been allowed for the succeeding
ten months up to and including
March, 1896. The total amounts
for the ten months is given and
deductions are made of $40 pei
for board of prisoners by the
sheriff, and IS per month fol
postage, ETC., for the clerk: Sher.
if, $a,635.71; clerk, 2,oo7. 80:
recorder, $e9S.17; assessor, ST.
1911:
This makes a total that the
comfy has paid the sheriff for l
months of IS, 562.e5, or an aver.
age of $265 per month. At this
rate the sheriff's Office will have
cost the county $1,000. During
the same period the clerks office
has cost $4,45o, an average OF
$212 per month or total for the
two years of $5,o88. The re-
corder has drawn 81, 1876 dur
ing the FL months; at which rate
the recorders office will have
cost the county 81, ,4Io. 80.
To recapitulate, the offices at
the expiration of the present
terms of office, will have cost the
county as follows:
Sheriff -----------------------s6,3 $50
Clerk 5,oSS
2,4I6. SO
Assessor 2,I72
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1896-05-07

These figures do not include
board paid for prisoners, stamps,
and other minor incidental ex-
penses for clerk, nor $3.50 allowed
J. L. Skipton, deputy sheriff, for
constable fees.
Mr.. Edwards, the republican
candidate for assessor, has pledg-
ed himself to assess the county
In 200 days, which at the regular
statutory allowance of IS per day,
would amount to 5000 per year,
or 81, 200 for the term of Office.
The republican nominees for the
other county offices are pledged
to conduct their Offices on the sal
aries allowed by law, which will
make the expense of these
offices to the county for two years
as follows:
Sheriff 1000
| Recorder 1000
| Assessor 1900
Total $40, 800
This leaves over five thousand
dollars to the people of Benton
county between the success of
the republican ticket and demo-
cratic candidates. 1t is we'll worth
considering.
The republican candidates are
all we'll qualified to perform the
duties of the Offices for which
they are respectively nominated.
They have examined the matter
and find that the salaries are large
enough to enable them to hire
efficient deputies, and leave them
fair remuneration for their time
and labor. The Offices under
such conditions will Of course be
no. ."big bonanza" but the peo-
pie can not afford to provide
"snaps" for fortunate political
favorites.
The populist candidates are
pledged, also, to conduct the Of
fees for the stated salary, but that
party has no candidates for either
clerk or sheriff. Their candi-
dates for the other county offices
are, as far as we know, good,
capable men, but it is not prob
able that they have the slightest
Eshow of election.
This leaves a straight issue be-
tween the republican nominees
and the democratic candidates.
| The taxpayers will regard this
election from a business stand.
