George A. La Dow, the nominee
for Congress, is forty-six years Of
age, o resident of Umatilla county,
and was one Of the Representatives
from that county to the last Legis-
lature. While in the Legislature he
served the people faithfully and hon
estly, always watchful of the inter-
ests Of his own county and Of the
State at large. He is q pleasant and
efficient speaker, q fine and courtc7
ous gentleman, and when no takes

March next, Oregon will have one Of
those practical and earnest workers

her prosperity. ,tge6 nodu .Yt
The nominee for Governor, i, r.
Grover, needs no encomiums at our
hands. He was nominated by accla-
nation. His faithful and economical
administration, his hard and jealous
labors for the advancement and pros
perity of the State during the past
four years stand as living monuments
of his qualifications for the position
of Chief Executive Of our growing
Commonwealth, and we have abid-
faith that the people will re-elect him
by q rousing majority,
Mr.. Chadwick, our worthy and eff

renominated by acclamation for that
position. His duties in this capacity
has been faithfully and impartially
performed and we believe no better
selection could have been made to
fill this place on the ticket
The nominee for State Treasurer,
Hon. A. Fl. Brown, Of Baker county,
is well known to the people of Ore

during the session Of 1870 and 1872
with credit to himself and honor to
his county and State.
The candidate for State Printer,
M. v. Brown, is thoroughly known
in all parts of the State, and the pa
per he publishes, the STATE RiaHTs
DEMOCRAT, is one Of the most sterling
and outspoken in favor of rights of.
tho people. Mr.. Brown is thorough
ly skilled in the craft and the State
printing will be done with correct
ness and dispatch,
DIR. i. j. Dawne, the nominee for
Superintendent of Public Instruc-

learning, and the educational inter

hands.

" We place at the head of our col
umns the ticket nominated by the
Democratic Convention which assem-
bled at Albany on the 18th Of this
month. Our space prevents an ex-
tended notice Of the nominees at this
time. Hon. Geo. A. LaDow, candid

Umatilla county. He is n lawyer by
profession, and gentleman Of good |
abilities. At this time, whilst the
attention Of Congress is being direct
I'd toward tho construction Of the
Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake Rail-
road, it is eminently proper that our
representative should be selected from
Eastern Oregon. This is an enter

ihe entire State. Mr.. LaDow is
