THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.


party Of jackson county to attempt to
disguise the fact that the Democratic
county ticket, taken as a whole, is
strong one, and it will take no child's
play to defeat it. Every true Union
man must 60 to work, and do his whole
duty, Oh we are defeated. There must
be no lukewarmness, or standing back.
Let the lines be squarely drawn, and all
who are not for us, must be classed
against us. Let those who will not do
their duty at this time, be marked, for
all time to come.
1t is true, the Democratic ticket has
its weak parts, but the majority are
good men.
Judge Stevenson is good citizen, a
man of stern honesty and integrity, and
is popular. But he is a rebel at heart,
and has always been too honest to deny
it. He voted for Breckenbridge for
President in 1860, and would vote for
him to-day, Or for JEFF. Davis, or Bob.
Lee, in preference to Gen. Grant, Or any
other man who fought for the salvation
of his country. The Judge is unfit for
the Office because he can scarcely write
his own name so it can be read.
B. Kahn, candidate for Auditor, is
the best man on the ticket, and is de-
cidedly the best man of the party in the
county, He is gentleman in every
sense Of the word, and made first
rate Auditor But his competitor,
Capt. Atkinson, is as good a man as he
is, and while Atkinson was receiving
Democratic balls in his body, in defense
of his country, Mr.. Kahn, an able
bodied young man, was at home, fig
uring with the Knights Of the Golden
Circle, who were organizing to attack
the soldiers in the rear.
Miles Jones, candidate for Sheriff, is
a younger brother of John M. Jones,
late Sheriff. Mr.. Jones is a worthy
young man, and served in the lst 0. H.
A., and is the only soldier on the ticket,
But he voted for the traitor Vallandig-
ham. That shows how much honesty
there was in his soldering. 10. Wilson
will hoist him higher than kite.
Joseph Aten, candidate for Com.
missioner, is worthy man, and would
make a good Commissioner. lie is
principally noted for his consistency il
copperheadism, and for selling remarka.
bly, cheap goods. He was beaten fol
the Legislature by Mr.. Roberts in 1861.
and by A. w. Long for Treasurer in
1868.
Enoch Morgan, candidate for Clerk
is young Welshman, and is clcrking
at store in Portland. lie is ono o.
the best men on the ticket, and was put
on to try and seduce some of the Welsl
Union men in the south part of the
county. But the Welsh are too sharI
for that. Mr.. Morgan's name on tht
peace, Vallandigham ticket, reminds US
Of that portion of Scripture whicl
speaks of the strange spectacle of {
jewel in swine's snout.
Joshua E, Stephenson, candidate fol
Coroner-well, we do not wish to speaI
of him. That was one mistake thu
convention made.
For Prosecuting Attorney the con
vention was in great strait. Am
Scott could not run, and DUNCAN woulc
not Elihu johnson was the only man
Mr.. johnson is a worthy, high-toneC
old gentleman, always dignifed an,
gentlemanly in his department, but h
is old and failing, and is sadly behinC
the times as lawyer. He has the sym
pathy of the bar, when he attempts t
do anything in court. The public bu
siness would be neglected if he wer
Prosecuting Attorney.
