The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1868-10-17


A representative from Multnomah, is
native of Virginia, and also lawyer
by profession. He is one of the most
active members of the House, though
sixty years of age. He has introduced
several very important bills, and
leaves no stone unturned to accom-
plish his purposes. He is ready, off
hand debater; his speeches abound in
facts and figures, as well as invective
and denunciation and at times he in
jures the cause he would promote by
being too jealous in it's behalf; for he
sometimes needlessly cuts his friends
as well as his foes if they differ from
him, or do not see fit to follow in the
road he travels.

FOR MAYOR:
BENJAMIN FL. KIMBALI..
A DEnOcRATIc MECHANIC FOR MAYOR.

The Onion says: at is matter of pride
TO US, that mechanic should be thought
worthy of the Office by so many of our fell
low citizens. The laboring class of this city
is more numerous than any other, and it is
but due them that they should have a repre-
sentative in the city government to look after
their interests" Jesse. Good hard, common
sense, with general intelligence and respecta-
bility OF character, is what we want in May
or, and these qualities are well combined in
Ben Kimball, the blacksmith and wagon
maker and that is one reason why the peo-
pie are going to elect him. He has worked
on the anvil for q years, and employs more
men, the year through, than his opponent
does in his business season. We remember
Ben kimball when he was the s'vilage black
smith" in Woodstock, Vermont in 1910,
where we then resided-and he was counted
good workman, too,--and we reckon he
can hammer ont pretty good job now;
though We hardly think if he is elected he
will practice his trade in the city council
room. or that Murdock will use his mortar
and rrowel there. But he is a good mechan-
ic and feels proud of the fact, and we venture
to say he has more brains than nine -tenths
of the people who object to him because he is
mechanic. He has served in the county
board of supervisors for six years in success
sion, and the people are indebted to his Ia
bors more than to the labors of any one man
for the improvement made in our county e.
nsnces, and the looking up and arranging our
county indebtedness. Mr.. Kimball has made
that subject speciality, and is better post
ed on county business than any other man
in the county. And his careful and intelli-
gent attention to our town matters, during
all this time, is well known and appreciated
by our citizens. His active, efficient, and
successful efforts to fill our quota for the war
and prevent draft here, is well known and
highly appreciated; and his patient labors
in distributing the war fund among the poor
families needing aid are not forgotten. In
these as we'll as in every public enterprise
he has always given his time and labor fol
the public good. And when called TO the
head of city affairs, he was mainly infuen-
tial in securing to the city a settlement of
the Peoria railroad indebtedness for about
one-half the amount of the claim. He also
did more, probably, than any other man to
secure the balance of the bounty fund 70,
Camden road Improvement, and devoted q
very large share of his time. to superintend
ing that work. Hardly day passed that he
was not on the ground, aiding. advising and
urging forward the job. These importan
matters he has carried forward, with the al,
of the aldermen. to very general satisfa ction
He will continue TO devote the same careful
and prudent attention to city matters, an'
the people will have no cause TO regret tina

Answer to the Attack on Buford's Flow
Works.

EDIroRs DNIoN-Dear Sir: In your pa
per of this morning you state that B. II.
Buford said publicly that no employee of his
should run for Office onthe republican ticket.
This publication is not true, in fact. and is
calculated, whether so intended or not, to
injure our business. What / did say was
that J. K. Huber could not act as foreman
of our establishment and as alderman of the
city at the same time. ] moreover said that
no other employee of ours, whatever might be
his politics, could hold city Office and at the
same time retain his situation in our works.
The position of foreman IN an establishment
as large as ours Is of some responsibility
and requires constant attention. We are
therefore, unwilling to have that place filled
BY politician, who is liable to be called of
TO attend city council meetings. fremen's
parades, and to any other duties incumbent
on an alderman. h
To convince the public how unjust are
the charges that prescribe men because
they are republicans, point to the fact that
the foreman in our foundry, George Down
ing, is a republican, Ed. Richards, foreman
of our iron works, is republican, and also,
j. K. Huber, foreman in our wood depart
nent, IS republican; so that although the
piow works are owned by democrats, still
every department is in charge of republi-
can.
As to your inquiry wha. the working men
will say OF b. ID. Buford will presume that
no man who has worked foi me will state
| ever questioned him as to his politics when
/ employed him, or ever sought to influence
or control his vote.
In conclusion / will add that in our bus;
ness relations we have no politics Blu. GU,
our works shall not be run as political ma
chine BY any party.

A Gushing Governor.

From the Cincinnati Commercial republican,.
1t is pleasant to know that there beats in
the bosom of the governor of the great state
of Illinois truly loyal heart-a heart quick
to respond to the calls of patriotism, and
ready to receive rs many pixies as the Aus.
TRANS thrust through the body ofthe hero OF
Sempach, if thereby a path of safety may be
opened to endangered liberty and an imper.
lied country.
This heart belongs to Oglesby, the impet-
uous but patriotic, and while its pulsations
were quickened by the intelligence from
Washington that the President had determ-
ined-in reprehensibly summary manner,
doubtless-to test the question of the consti-
nationality of the tenure-ofoefice Law, making
rp the case by removing Stanton, aud order
ing Thomas to duty as secretary of war adj
anterirn,-the ever reliable Oglesby hurried
on dispatch to congress, assuring that body
tn at the usnrpations of A. J. had created a
profound sensation in his state, pronouncing
has last act the act of traitor demanding
that his treason shall be checked, and ur-
glng congress to proceed with the impeach-
ment of this presumptuous demacogue i'm.
mediately. He is satisfied that congress-
will proceed wisely and caut;onslv.-tbat
as all the country knows, being its iuve,er.
ate habit of late J. He is only collections
that it shall proceed. Millions of loval
hearts, exelaims the enthusiastic governor
s'are painting to stand by the stars and
stripes" We do not doubt the historical
and physiological accuracy of this statement,
though were we disposed to be hypercritical,
we might take exception to the aptness of
the rhetorical figure Of painting hearts stand
ing by anything. But we are only curious
to know what on earth there is to prevent
these numerous hearts from standing by the
stars and stripes as long, as devotedly, as
firmly, and as proudly now rs ever? What's
to hinder? For that matter, were they to
form a phalanx more compact than Grecian
around the war Office, they would lind the
stars and stripes there whether Stanton or
Thomas were the ineumbents. At east end
and west end of the capital they would find
the same flag to stand by, and we do not
! suppose that either President or congress, or
cabinet minister, or under secretary, Or
clerk, would offer the least objection to any
| demonstration of devotion to the stars and
stripes that those millions of hearts might
make, standing or sitting down. 80
Gov. Oglesby ought to understand that
this sort Of gaseonade is as i'll timed as it is
in bad taste. 1t does not become the gov.
erno- of great commonwealth to indulge
In buncombe, if the occasion has the gravity
| which he affects or believes it to have.-

Senator Trumbull proposes, in the bill he
has lust introduced into the senate, that
congress, and not the supreme court shall
decide what are political questions. And
next, as a sequel to forbidding the court
from trying cases of such a character it may
prescribe that all acts passed BY itself are
political, and thus debar the court from pass
ing upon the operation of laws of congress
at all. Mr.. Trumbuli rests his bill on the
previous decisions Of the court, to the effect
that it does not take cognizance of political
questions, but actual cases alone, in which
persons and property are concerned. Then
there clearly is no need Of such a measure
as his; while the harm of ii consists In its
invasion of the judicial department Of the
government by restricting its power to de-
eide inst what he admits, in his preamble, j,
has many times decided already. How
nearly the reconstruction acts as poHti-
cal measures touch the rights of persons
and property, it manifestly is not for con-
grcss 70 say. That the court alone is com
petent 10 decide But Mr.. Trumbull, By
having congress declare them to be political
would warn off the court altogether when
those acts were practically applied. II Is
but a slightly modified form of tying he
hands of the Judiciary, and standing con
fession of the gniltiness of congress.-BaS
