people. and of our now suffering Territory
through firm advocacy of any and every
measure, having tendency to accomplish
the same.
OF the representative ticket, Capt. Hen
vrss who heads the list, is well known tC
You, as having served one term in the leg
stature with credit to himself, and as it is
conceded on all hands, acceptable to his
constituents. 1t is known that he has been
engaged in the service of his country
against the hostile Indians, for now near
nine months, and that he is at the present
time in the tented field" enjoying "a
soldiers 6rc-a soldiers fare" His past
record is sufficient guarantee for the tu-
iure.
| C.B. BAKER, Esq, is well known to the
people of the county rs one Of its represen-
tatives in the last legislature-as q sound,
unflnching, uncompromising democrat, and
as an honest man. He was one of the few
democratic members in the last Legislature
that escaped the snare set, by knowhoth-
ingism, and the torrent of isms that sought
to destroy our party last year His popu-
arty with the people speaks for itself.
Mr.. JAMES LoNGMIRE, resident of the
Yelm Prairie, is known to be substantial
farmer--a man Of intelligence, good judg-
ment and sound discretion. No one at all
acquainted with him, will for a moment
doubt but that he will make an excellent
representative, and render good account
of his stewardship.
DR.. d. KlsER is endowed with sufficient
energy of character and ability TO consti-
tute the amount possessed by any trO can
didates of the fusion party. 1t will be
found. that oil the "gull-traps of fusion
ism will either have to crawl or be crush
ed in the next house Of representatives,
should any be laid to entrap him. He is
now in the service Of his country as surgeon
to the volunteers, and, as we are informed,
renders general satisfaction.
Maj. GEo. c. BLANKENsHIr is perhaps at
this moment engaging the enemies of our
common Territory on the eastern side of
the mountains His elevation to the posi-
tion he occupies, is sufficient evidence of
the appreciation in which he is held by the
rank and file Of the volunteers--by the
mass of the people. lie is known to the
citizens Of this locality as q mechanc--as
a young man Of sterling qualitics-of ex-
cellent judgment and intelligence, aud
whose general character reproach cannot
assail.
In the person Of WM. RUrLEDGE, jr., the
last, though by no means the least, on the
ticket, will be recognized our present ac-
commodating and trustworthy postmaster.
We presume no one will deny but that he
is every way worthy and well qualified to
constitute for the people of our county a
faithful and indefatigablc representative,
and our ,rOrd for ii he will be elected as
such; and he will watch the triggers of fu-
sionism with Vigilant eye, and his voice
will be heard in the exposition Of nll trickery,
fraud and double-dealing. That he has
the interests of the people of our county
aud territory at heart, all who are ac-
quanted with him know full well.
1t is unnecessary to elaborate or call the
favorable attention of the democracy to the
balance of the nominees on our ticket No
one will pretend to say that any of them
would suffer in comparison with those placed
in nomination by either the devotees of
Sam" or Sdmbo." Let but the democ-
racy determine on their election, and success
is certain.
