".
which he was directed by the Conven,
ion to cast without any authority from /
he Curry county constituency. Mr. |
Bushy having received the appointment
IF Collector of Customs for the Coos
Bay District at the hands of Senator
Nipple in recognition of his services In
betraying the Republican party of
Douglas county last September and
assisting TO elect Nipple to the United
States Senate under hls assumed name
of John II. Mitchell, was naturally
anxious to secure all the proxies he
could to be used in the service of his
master, and 1t was not unnatural that he
should even consent to cast the vote of
Curry county when the Republi caps OF
that county had not designated him to
do so.
w. r. Willis, of Douglas county
cast his own vote and voted upon the
proxies of two other persons. Being
a Federal office Receiver in the
Roseburg Land-ofice Mr.. Willis was
expected to vote numerously and
obsequiously. j. B. Emory, of Doug
las, also cast three votes IN favor of
this resolution. We believe Mr.
Emory has not yet received his Office,
but he does know Senator Hipple so
thoroughly al not to rely upon his
promises. He will get better acquain-
ted with the Senat or yet.
Major W Y. Rinehart, of Grant
county, Postmaster at the county seat
cast the vote of himself and Abranl
Fades. He is a gentleman Of whom
we entertain very high opinion, and
we well believe he spoke sincerely
when he said TO different persons, both
before and after the passage of the
resolution, that it was wholly wrong ot
the Convention to saddle the crimes o
John Nipple upon the Republican
party He opposed the resolution Il
the last in the Committee room, anc
said to his friends OF different times
that he was voting for the resoIltior
under compulslon. We do not know
by what means he was thus compelled
to cast his own vote and that Of sturd,
old Abram Fades, who would have
sooner lost his right arm than hav,
| put that ballot in the box for resolution
which he himself denounced as wr ong
nor do We wish to inquire the relations
he may sustain to the Hipple faciior
by which he could be thus forced t,
violate his convictions Of duty to tn,
! party From hong years of persona
acquaintance with Major Rinehart, W,
cannot believe that any selfish o
mereenary motive influenced his con
duct.
William Turner, Of Jackson beside
his own vote, had three proxies, On
of these was from Captain J. NJ
McCall. Who Supposes Captai,
Mccall would have cast such vote
If the other Two gentleman who's
proxies Mr.. Turner held, are sue
men as We know Captain Mccall to be
no county 10 the State was more grossl
misrepresented than Jackson. NJ
Turner also cast the vote for j Joscphin
county, but was not authorized by tn
Republicans of that county so to d.
The secret of his voting for til
polygamy resolution, may be found
the fact he is the recipient OF valuabl
surveying contracts from Surveyor-Ge
eral Odell, who vas himself presel
at the Convention lobbying on
logrolling with might and main, in Il
interest of our bigamous Senator.
j. M. Shelly, the oply man of Lin
county whose garments have any of Il
; tain of this infamy upon them, is Il
business partner of Hiran.-not Jol
. Hiram, but Hiram the nominee f
Congress-and we don't blame hi
.. particularly for voting for til
| resolution, in as much rs it was W,
1 understood that if the resoutit
q passed no man but Hi Smith woul
consent to run, and of course Nj
f Shelly would see in the passage of Il
resolution "dead thing" for Hi. {
