Dr. w. F. Alexander, John Bryant,
r. d. Johnson, Thos. Sites, j. T.
Crooks. DIR. Alexander is an old res
ident of Oregon and Linn county
having crossed the plains in 1852
Whether viewed as a neighbor physi-
clan or friend, he is one of our best citi-
zens-being very frank, manly, and
prompted by generous and noble i'm
pulses. His democracy is of the
hard-shell kind-unfaltering and un-
compromising.
John Bryant is a farmer living in
Scio precinct, eight miles from the
town of Scio. He is unknown to US
personally; but he is represented to
us as possessing good, sound practic-
al sense, and as being a very worthy
citizen.
r. d. Johnson is also a good citi-
zen, by occupation a lumberman liv-
ing in Sweet Home precinct.
Thomas Sites lives lives in Harris
burgh precInct-occupatIon, school
teacher, n of the most useful and
lahorious in which man can engage.
He is a young man of good habits and
more than ordinary ability.
j. T Crooks is from Syracuse pre-.
cinct. He is a good farmer and is one
of our best citizens. He was n mem.
Der of the Constitutional Convention,
and has also served as a member OF
the Legislature.
S. A. Johns was nominated FOR
County Judge. He lives in Browns.
vile. We are told that he is a law.
yer, and that he has served as County
Judge one or two terms in Missouri.
George r. Helm is candidate for
County Clerk. AS everybody in Linn
county knows Mr.. Helm it is unnec.
essary to say much concerning him.
He has been raised principally in Linn
county. He has here been educated,
and here attained an enviable rcputa-
ton rs a member of the legal fratcr.
nifty. As a member of the Legisla.
ture he achieved a State notoriety,
being regarded as among the leaders,
on the Democratic side of that body.
He will speak for himself on the
stump during the ensuing campaign.
Robert Irvine was nominated for
Sheriff. He is from Scio precinct, and
is a good farmer and stock-raiser.-
He is represented to us as an honest,
Woodworking good fellow.
J. w. Mack is candidate for School
Superintendent. He lives in Lebanon
precinct. He has taught school here
tofore, but is now engaged in mercan.
tile pursuits.
For Treasurer, James Shields was
nominated. He lives in Scio, and is
engaged in mercantile pursuits. He
was a member of the Constitutional
Convention, and is an honest, worthy
citizen. One thing that commcnds
him to the kindly regards of the yot-
ers of Linn county is the fact that he
is badly manned for life by an unfor-
tunate accident.
For Go. Commissioners, the Con-
vention nominated Nh. VI. S. Bassett
and Mr.. G. 2. Burkhart. The former
is a worthy mechanic of Brownsville ;
the latter an old resident and substan-
tial farmer of Albany precinct.

SCISSOR. He is a good farmer of Sweet
Home precinct, and is represented as
a man of good sound Judgment.

yeyor. He lives in Brownsville, and
bears a good reputation as a citizen.
He has acted IS Surveyor of Linn
county and gives general satisfaction.
DIR. w. Lister of Albany precinct
was nominated for Coroner. He au-
thorizcs and requests us to state that
he will not permit his name to be used
as a candidate for that office; and for
this reason his name does not appear
among the list of candidates in an
other place.
DEMOCRATS THE ticket, entirely
composed of men of your own selec.
ton, in the recognized and usual man
ner, is now fairly before you /; so also
is the platform on which they have
placed themselves. We do not say
that the one or the other is absolutely
faultless ; but We do insist that they
are worthy Of your most cheerful and
hearty support. Let every man in
Linn county who is a foe to misrule
and prospective anarchy-eyery oppo-
nent Of unequal taxcs-eyery lover OF
Constitutional Iiberty-every foe to
niger suffrage and niger equality So
cially-every lover of justice-every
foe to consolidated powers in the
General Goyernment-work for the
success of the ticket, and it will be
elected by a majority of at least Four
