satisfactory to the Union voters ofthe Comfy
The feeling among the delegates seemed to
be to put unobjectiunable men in the field,
and how far they have succeeded is now be-
fore the public The nominations of Messrs.
Hogue and Kegle, for the Legislature, are
good; Mr.. lIogue served the people of this
county in the Special Session, and with his
official action there the people are familiar.
Mr.. Keegle is gentleman of more than
ordinary intelligence, and stands high in the
estimation of the people rs n good, npright
citizen, and one that will faithfully discharge
any trust reposed in him. Though not a
politician, he is thoroughly posted in the af-
fairs of the nation in its present crisis, and
can intelligibly legislate on all matters that
may come before the Leg stature for his ac-
ton. We cordially recommend him to the
voters of Wasco county as man worthy of
their confidence and support.
The nomination Tor Clerk, Mr.. R. B. Reed
(the present incumben', is one that will
prove satisfactory to every man in The coun-
ty. Mr.. Reed has filled the po,iiou for the
last two years with credit to himself and the
county. He is The most competent, honest,
and obligiag man the people have ever trust
ed with that Office, and We feel confident thai

the next two years.

For Treasurer, Mr.. Geo. H. Waldron.-
Everybody knows George, and those who dc

on election day when they vote for him.
All we could say about George can be bes
expressed in few words BE is " bully )
good fellow, and ought to be elected.
Mr.. Crandall, the nominee for Sheriff, a
present holds the position of deputy, unde
Sheriff White. He is good officer, promp
