The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1872-11-22

post-ofllce, we hear il stated that no
less than seven of our trooly loyfl csts-
zens have petitioned yc Presydent Of
yc Yewnighted Staytes for ye sayed
post-office. 1t is understood that ED.
Freeland, who has extra cted copious
draughts of the tactical fluid from the
Government udder for the past twelve
years, has concluded to resign Some
thing novel in Radicalism,) and many
of the faithfuls' bowels hereabouts
ycarn fervently-yea! banker muchly
after the rich and succulent pap which
has for many years flowed into his ex-
tended bowl. Among the most persis-
tent claimants for tho 'orfus" we hear
mentioned tho name of Collins Van
Cleve, Esq, the able-bodied publisher
of the Register, who claims to have
superior claims upon the "posish" be-
cause he has for years past turned the
crank of the party organ in this coun-
ty. Messrs. Andy Carothers, Perry
Raymond, Gus. Wheeler and Gus. lay
ton are said to be among the other most
prominent petitioners. These latter
named gentlemeu don't see ii In the
same light that Van docs. They seem
to think that as the Government has
always furnished him the axle-grease
lin the way of a fat printing contractl
with which to run his organ, the obli-
CATION on that score is about even.
Well, they are all good Republican
fellows, ana clever gentlemen, and we
only wish that Hiram Ulysses could
see his way clear TO appoint every one
of them, and let them divide the spoils.
AS it is, however, we suppose it will
depend altogether upon which of the
petitioners present of q bull pup gets
to Long Branch first.

this city at that time, Of a suit in chan
Gerry. This is all there is of the "spe-
cial term"

hard winter in Eastern Oregon and
much damage to stock-raisers.
