Economy.

aroused small cyclone, which was
subdued. however, without serious
disturbance of the general harmony.
The committee on assessment of
candidates for campaign purposes,
consisting of w. j. Culver, and Geo.
Rogers, of Salem, Herman Sehellburg,
of Sublimity, Ed. II. Judd, of Aums-
vile, and Lemuel Hobson, OF Stayton,
made its report levying 800 each
against the sheriff and clerk, $50
against the assessor ,S20 each for the
legislative candidates and so on with
the remainder of the ticket for total
sum of $500, and this report brought a
motion from TillmOn Ford to cut
down the three assessments OF the
three leading names above, TO half the
sum in each case. He said that in
1882, when he and Judge Waldo made
the campaign there was only $3.50 In
the fund and they turned back nearly
$40. In response to this Frank Davey
stated that in proportion to the popu-
lation and other circumstances 1850
was larger fund for that time than
$500 Is for the present, that there are
several more newspapers in the county
now In which notices and publication
Of ticket are to be made and paid for,
etc. To this Mr.. Ford replied in an
excited manner, that sin those days
there was no such thing as having to
pay Republican paper for publish
ing the ticket or Republican notices.
1t is pretty how-d'-do," continued
Mr.. Ford, "when we have to pay q
newspaper that pretends TO be Re-
publican for publishing the Republl-
can ticket and Republican notices.
If they are Republican newspapers
they should publish them free of
charge" This sally brought forth
spirited rejoinder from Mr.. Davey,
who said twas an entirely legitimate
business transaction for a Repblican
newspaper to charge for its party's
advertising, us much so as to charge
for the advertising of any of It's friends |
and patrons. lie said that every day
and every hour, the Republican news
paper. Is contributing to its party,s
success, so'that once In two yeras by
a small contribution the ambitious
candidate may ride into power, and
the plttance received for advertising
at such times should not be accom-
panied by slurs. Mr.. Davey's remarks
received a good round Of applause.
F0rd's amendment was defeated and
the report stood.
The other point of contention was
the choice of IA secretary. The whole
committee concluded to elect one and
Frank Davey was chosen unanimously
so far as the open voting was con-
cerned. After the adoption of the
following speaking program the meet
Ing adjourned, all expressing enthus-
iasm for the ticket from top TO bottom.
