The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1872-03-29
THE CONVENTION AND ITs WORK.

DAY, was characterized by the utmost
harmony and good feeling, and it is
with pride and pleasure that we to-day
display at our masthead the result of
its labors.
The Representative ticket is n
that the people of our county are pc
culiarly fortunate in having presented
for their s~uffrages. Hon. N. II. Ora
nor, of Albany, who heads the Rep
resentative delegation, is too well
known to need an introduction from
our pen. Nearly twelve years ago he
represented the people of Linn county
in OUT Legislature, and he then stood
the peer of the first men of hat body.
He is n lawyer of eminent ability, a
speaker of much force and logic, and
a gentleman whose probity and hon
esty are far above suspicion. Hon.
John I. Crooks, of Syracuse, has re-
peatedly served Linn county in the
honorable capacity for which he is
now offered, and has ever been known
for his fidelity to principle and devo-
ton to the interests of his constitu-
ents, His Legislative experience will
render him a useful and influential
member. Hon. r. B. Willoughby, of
Harrisburg, like Mr.. Crooks, is a gen
tleman of Legislative knowledge,
having represented Van Buren, coun-
ty, Iowa, i'll the first Legislature OF
that State. lie is u Of the pioneers
of Linn county, and has always been
known as a gentleman OF sterling
honor and integrity. Captain Jas.
Blakeley, of Brownsville, is gentle
man of sound judgment, orthodox
Democracy and unblemIshed honor
He will make 4 ice member. Mr..
Harvey Shelton, of Scio, is a sturdy
farmer and a gentleman who has the
respect and confidence of all who
know him. The interests of the pee
pie of Linn, as well as of the entire
State, are safe in his hands.
Hon f. A:-randy, of Harrisburg,
the, nominee for County Judge, is en-
i%nently qualified, both by ability and
experience, for the position for which
the Democracy have offered him
He has served as Judge OF Lane
county, in which capacity we under
stand he gave the fullest satisfaction.
He has twice represented Lane coun-
ty in the State Legislature, where he
was an influential and honorcd mem
Der. \ lawyer of fair ability and 4
gentleman of un~impeachable integrity.
he will certainly fill the very respon-
sible position of County Judge with
honor TO himself and satisfaction 10
the people.
For Commissioners we have Ex-
State Senator VIM. Cyrus, of Frank
lin Butte, and J. II. Washburn, Of
Brownsyille-both men OF good judg-
ment and fullest business qualiiica-
tions. The taxpayers of our county
may safely repose the utmost conf
dence in their fidelity.
j. II. Hackleman, of Albany, can
didate tor County Clerk, has long
been known for his devotion TO Dem
ocratic principles. He is an affablc
gentleman, a superior penman, and a
ready and correct accountant. That
he will fully and ably discharge the
duties of his office no one can for a
moment doubt.
Allen Parker, the nominee for Sher-
if, is a well knownand highly respect
ed resident Of this city. He is a Dem
ocrat of the "straightjacket" kind,
earnest in purpose and liberal almost
to a fault. We predict that he will
make an efficient and popular official.
For Treasurer, Capt. Jas. Shields,
of Scio, who has already served two
successive terms, is again nominated
by a ~iattering vote. While his mis-
fortune of the loss of a leg renders
him unfit for many other pursuits in
life, his full experience and already
well proven fidelity to the financial in
t~erests of Linn county render him pc,
culiarly fitted to continue in his pres
ent position.
T. J. Sites, of Harrisburg, was re
nominated for School Superintendent
by an almost unanimous vote of the
Convention, thus receiving the high
est endorsement Of his previous ser.
vices in that responsible capacity thai
could be given him. We congratu
late the people of Linn at thus again
securing the services Of an official 81
valued and competent.
T. j. Thorpe, of Scio, the candidat'
t for Assessor, is a sociable and agreed
bic gentleman, whose acquaintance j
is a rare pleasure to make. His Dc
g mocracy is Of the undiluted sort an
his qualifications for the position t
: which he aspires are unquestioned.
II. j. G.. Ayerill. of Brownsville,
