GOOD MEN ONLY.

From the republican ranks
comes the demand that the state
ticket be made up of men of good
character. and Of irreproachable
political reputation. This demand
will have to be needed.
The league of republican clubs
set the paee>in the selection of its
officers. The election of Claude
Catch of Salem as president of
the league was SO satisfactory that
he is urged as splendid material
for republican candidate on the
state ticket. He had, however,
no desire to complicate the polili-
cal situation Or let his personal in
terests even threaten to create dis
cord. Marion county has two
candidates for the nomination of
governor, and Mr.. Catch, it is un-
derstood, believes that they are en-
titled to the right of way.
1t is possible that affairs may so
shape themselves as TO make his
nomination lifting and desirable.
Should this happen Mr.. Catch
would be enthusiastically support
ed and would be all honest and
efficient secretary of state. He
would not be defeated by any ju-
sioDist.
| Mr.. Fulton, vice president of
the league, has been mentioned in
connection with the Office Of gov
ernor, bat he has definitely stated
that he, under no circumstances,
would be candidate tor the posi-
lion. Mr.. Fulton is a magnificent
campalgner and thorough going
republican. The secretary, Harry
Wells, is man Of high character.
and worthy OF the confidence re,
posed in HIM.
The league has set good ex-
ample for the state convention.
Nominate upright men; men who
have right convictions; men who
are honest in business and politics:
men who can be supported with
out shame or reservation.

such means cannot expect to Sc
cure more than perfunctorv sup
port from the great mass of the
republican party. In a close
election, as the one in June is
likely to be, a lack of enthusias-
tic popular support means cer-
tain defeat.
The friends of Gecr are warn-
ing local candidates for political
honors, that participation in the
attempted deal means political
suicide. Nor is this an unneces-
sary caution. The opposition to
Mr.. Sinon's candidate is over
whelming, but his agents in this
county hope to make such a COM
bination with different interests
that they can name the delegates
to the state convention. To sue
ceed in this they must make a
parade Of claimed strength.
Not a precinct i'll the county
would send a delegation to the
county convention that was
avowedly favorable to the Simon
program. The managers there
fore must rely upon securing del
egates secretly pledged to aid
them. 1t is very improbable
that any considerable number
can be SO secured.
On the other hand there will
be many delegates who will op-
emily and strongly fight any such
arrangement, and those who sup
port the combination will be
forced to show their hand. Those
who try to advance themselves
through this means must not ex-
pect to escape the opprobium
that is bound to follow.
The professors against the Sc
cret work have right and public
sentiment behind them and there
is little fear that the cabal will
be successful. There is too
much at stake to allow the petty
ambitions and selfshness of a
few mcn to wreck the party.
| The GAZETTE does not say
these things as the champion o1
Mr.. Gcer. The nomination O1
that gentlemen would not be dis.
pleasing and we could support
him heartily, but this paper has
no candidate for the office Of
governor OF any other position
This paper speaks for itself and
always endeavors to be explicit
The good of the party de
lnands frankness at this time
There is no personal fight against
the mesa who are managing the
Simon candidates campaign
There will be no disposition te
ignore them, for they have tht
same rights as any other republi
cans-and no more. They have
their personal ends to serve, bu
the convention will have as it
duty, the fl1rthering of the bes
interests of the party and the
! self-servers will have TO stel
aside.

CANDIDATE JOHN HENRY.

D. P. Blue, of Lincoln county,
will be the fusion candidate fol
joint senator, and A. L. Clark,
Familiarity known in politics as
"John Henry" is to stump the
two counties as the silver nom
inee for joint representative,
at least Mr.. Clark so believes.
There is every reason to believe
that both will be blue when they
hear the result of the election.
We do not know Mr.. Blue.
He was Lincoln county's first
county judge-a mark of Pen
noyer's favor. His administra-
ton is over, but the debts it in
Cured still live. He is un-
doubtedly a great man.
Of Mr.. Clark many pleasant
things can be said. He was
once 3 republican, but he says
the party left lim-and indeed
the partly has progressed greatly
along certain lines. But how a
man who is so slow that he can-
not catch up with a political
party, can expect to make fast
race for prize SO Elusive as All
elective office, is past cornpre-
hension.
John Henry is genial and
very frank gentleman. He be-
lieves everything he says and he
is not backward in talking.
John Henry denounces vigor-
ously the legislative hold-up and
those who took part therein. Ev-
cry republican will endorse
Johns position OH this matter,
but they will not vote for him.
Their candidate. whoever he is,
will take the same view. Mr..
Whitaker will have to cast =
vote condenning his cause as an
elected legislator or vote blank
on joint representative. :.
John Henry on the stump will
prove more entertaining and as
unterrifying as John Henry. the
correspondent. He is now camp
ed high up on Grass mountain
eating dog salmon and thinking
out figures. The deep rcverber-
ating sounds now heard every af.
ternoon i'll the Alsea valley is
not thunder. John Henry is Oh
ly rchearsing.
( Somehow John Henry the
candidate is not so lovable as
| John Henry the Jealous and un.
selfish advocate of-well all those
things he did advocate. His
candidacy rather takes the poetry
out of his doings. Some cyni,
cal sinner will be apt to attribute
ali Johns outpourings to desire
for office. He has done the
service and now demands recon-
pense.
Well John, you are into ii
now, but it will not last long.
Election day will soon roll round
and, well, here's our sympathy
in advance. 81 told you So"

THE GOVERNORSHLP.

One of the unaccountab bic
1apses- that sometimes is mani.
tested i'll a newspaper, is respon-
sible for the fact that no mention
was made in these columns ol
the forcible and logical address
of Hon. T. 7. Geer before the
young mems republican club ol
Benton county.
The slip is the more regretted
because this paper has i'll its ca
.pacity as a public journal, criti-
cised the position of Mr., Gee1
in his recent controversy with
the Oregon delegation. Since
Mr.. Geer will be a candidate be-
fore the republican state couven-
ton for the nomination of gov
ernor, silence concerning his Wis
it here might be construed to be
a peevish exhibition of opposi-
ton. 1t is therefore pertinent tc
state frankly the GAzETTE's pos
ition regarding Mr.. Geer and the
governorship.
Every loyal republican wishes
the republican nominee for gov
ernor to be a man whose person
ality commands admiration aud
respect; whose methods ia poll
tics are not those of the trickstef
and knave; whose nomination
means success and whose admin
istration will not shame the
party. The republican party OF
Oregon has such men, and only
desperate, unscrupulous and sui
cldal political scherning will
prevent the selection Of some
such 1nan as our standard bearer
IN the approaching campaign.
The particular choice of this
paper is Of really no more mo-
1nent than that of any individ-
ual citizen, but it is perhaps not
out of place to say that T. T.
Geer, Geo. H. Williams, Judge
Frsuk Moore or Judge Lowell
at the head Of the republican II
state ticket would have the en-.
thusiastic support of every true
republican.
Of these mcn, Mr.. Gecr is the
only real candidate. He is work.
ing openly and legitimately fo1
the nomination. He is mo-
"putting up" primaries anc
countv conventions. He is no
ashamed Of his candidacy anc
his friends arc not ashamed to
voice their preference. Mr.
Geer only asks, and it is the
right of every republican to sc
ask, that he have a fair anc
eq,:aI chance at the state conven.
t4DI.
The active supporters of Mr..
Geer in Benton county and all
other fair minded and faithful re-
publicaas are watching the at
tempt to control the convention
of this county i'll favor of Mr..
Silnon's candidate for governor.
