TO THE CITIZENS OF LINN.

that it will be as acceptable to you as
it is creditable to the sound Judgment
of the men who produced it.
We commend the Legislative por-
ton of the ticket not only to the citi-
Hens of Linn county, but to those of
other counties, for, though its election
is in our hands, its labors will be the
property of the whole State.
Dr. Crawford and Mr.. Enoch Hoult,
candidates for the State Senate, are
both residents of the southern portion
of the county. The former is Mt pres
ent n State Senator, which Office he
has filled, with entire satisfaction TO
his constituents, for four years. 1t is
safe to say that in those sterling quail
ties that belong to the faithful officer
and the good citizen, Mr.. Hoult is not
whit behind Mr.. Crawford, and that
is saying great deal.
In addition to other matters of i'm
portance, these men will participate in
the election Of two United States Sen
ators, and i'll their nomination the
Convention has wisely regarded both
the end and the means.
Nor are we justified in saying less
for the candidates for tho House. -
Hon. Geo. II. Helm is too well and
favorably known By the people o.
Linn county and of Oregon to need
or justify commcndatory remarks from
US. His services for the public are his
fittest encomium. He took prom
incnt part in the Legislature Of four
years ago, at which time he was n
member of the House, and We predict
that he will display in the coming
session those traits that have so won
him the favor of his own county.
| DIR. Alexander wa2 one of the most
active and influential members of the
last House. He is mn old resident in
the county and has n very extensive
and thorough acquaintance with Is
people and wants. He is man oi
strong sense and excellent Judgment
and knows thing or two about the
infamous doings of the perpetrators
of the Woods Legislative conspiracy
of two years ago, and from this cir.
cumstancc his selection at this tiaf
derives peculiar appropriations
Messrs. Ostrander, Munkers and FL
ltins are old. residents and esteemed
citizens. They will command hear
t. and deserved support.
Mr.. J. j. Whitney. the nominee fol
County Judge, is perhaps as good !
selection as could have been made
He is n man whose integrity Is unim
/ peached aud uninpeachable, and h
will take with him to his Office one o
the highest recommendation 10 the es
teem Of his fellow citizens-that Of ai
honest man. Mr. Whitney's qnalifica
tons are we'll endorsed by the fact tha
hc is a graduate of the Albany, New
York, Eaw School, aDd has a certiiicat
OF admission to practice in the Suprem
Court of the State of New York.
My. 4. G. Jones Is to be Clerk, an,
more capable, faithful and deserving
man could not have been found. Tn
people OF Linn county will hear fron
him during the canvass.
Mr.. II. A. Irvine has filed the Sher
ifs Office with the most entire satisfac
ton to the people. During his tern
he has collected of the uncollecte
and delinquent tax of his predecesso
81, 500 In addition to this he has "a
sessed aud collected 81, ,S13. His book
at present show delinquent tax 70
1869 of only $S5S 13 against 81 10
for the two years of his predecessor
of Mr.. Irvine lie has accomplishe
these results without resorting to hars
E means, and without subjecting sin
gle taxpayer to a single dollar of costs
These are some of the reasons VIII
he is to continue in the Shcriff's office
The rest of the gentlemen upon tn
ticket are men who are widely know
in the county and whose names are
sufficient endorsement for the candid
ates.
The ticket is good one; viewed i
any light it is the same. We cheer
fully and heartily support it as Dem
{ ocratic ticket. We yield support t
each man upon it as a Democrat
nominee.
