Hdisor Dsmocrat.
The time is drawing near when the
two parties will make their selections Of
candidates for the various offices in the
State and County, and if the Demo-
cratic party carries Old Linn in the
coming election il will have to put forth
It's best men as standard bearers. One
frequently hears such expressions as ~
am going to vote for the best man, let
his politics be what they may" and
that, too, from some of the old war
horses of the Democracy. / hear some
Of the best men in the party say they
are going to stand aloof from the pri-
maries, and conventions, and not be
bound by their action. Now l think
this mistaken policy. If all the good
men should stay away it leaves the
whole thing in the hands Of the trick
sters and wire-pullers, and ticket will
be thrust upon MS that viii be doomed
to defeat in June. Let the good and
true men of the party-the good citi-
zens and payers of the county
come out and attend the primaries, and
see that none but the best men are Sc
lected to attend the County Convention,
and then ticket can be nominated that
will be invincible The Pacific Rail.
roads will spend thousands Of dollars
to have their Attorney (Afitchell) re-
turned to the q. s. Senate, and il be.
hooves the Democratic party to use
every means in their power to circum-
vent it.
Now, instead of this Indifference ON
the part of many, let them begin to be-
stir themselves, and let the names Of
good and responsible men be brought
forward, and agitatcd, especially for
Legislative positions. We want men
in the Legislature this year who are not
only not on the market, but who are
not purchasable at any price; men who
hold their honor and principles lGgh
above gold. Let Old Linn remember
six years age, when Mitchell first went
to the Senate, and let her remember the
lesson. Let the best men of the county
be brought forward for Senators and
Representatives, and in order to start
the ball rolling l viii suggest the name
of Hon. James Blakely, of this district.
as one of the Senators. In him. think
every one who knows him will say, we
will have a Senator who will do his
duty tho the heavens fall In him
we would have Legislator that cerrup-
tionists and jSbbers would not dare ap-
preach, and Representative in whose
hands the honor and safety of the poo
pie would rest secure.
l write this without the knowledge of
Mr.. Blakely, and j know he is not an
asPirant for the position but that is
just the kind of man we need. We do
not want professional politicians.
Now let other districts trut out their
best men, and from them all l think we
can select ticket that will be inyinci-
bic. But let the people be lukcwarm
and Indifferent in the matter and the
wire pullers will put out such ticket
as will be doomed to defeat. Keep the
ball moving. PHAD

ALBANY, OREGON, |
February Q, 1878. !

Editor Democrat
Please allow me space in yeur valna-
able paper fer few lines that may be
Of interest to some Of your readers.
The Chinese question is the one that
most agitates the laboring class at pres
ent, After considering the number Of
Cinnamon employed on the Pacific coast
we are not surprised at the labcring
classes rioting az they have done in San
Francisco and elsewhere, although we
do not fully indorse the course pursued
by them in many instances. Think fer
moment of the number Of Cinnamon
employed in our own State, and then
think Of the number Of honest white
men and women who are cut Of em-
ployment, some Of whom scarcely know
ono day where the next days food is to
ceme from. Were it not for these Chi
nese hordes in our midst every indus
trious man and woman would have
steady and profitable employment.
Before the heavy emigration Of Chi
nese to Oregon, our State Penitentiary
had but few inmates now it is crowd
ed, large number of the cenvicts be-
ing men who could not get employment
on account of Chinese laber, and in cen-
sequence became desperate and reckless,
Losing all respect for themselves and
the rest of mankind, and eventually
finding their way TO the State Prison.
Taking everything into consideration
we find the heathen Chinese = curse oH
the country.
Others viii perhaps say they are q
great blessing to the country and that
we eannot prosper without them, but
have lived in Oregon since 1916, and
cannot see that eur State has ever de
rived any real benefit from their labor
in fact, they are robbing us of thou
sands of dollars anhuanKs
Since the report of the late Senator
Morton has been placed in the hands ol
the Chairman of the Senate COMMITTEES
on Privileges and Elections ] am more
fully convinced than ever before that
the Republican party is strongly in ia
vor of Chinese immigration and cheap
labor,-not that they care particularly
for the Cinnamon, but their main object
is to make them voters, thinking there
by te control the elections as they did
in the Soath with the negro vots. Right
here in Albany We fad prominent Re.
puhlicans in favor of their immigration
to our country.
The Chinese question is of more in
tereSt to the laboring classes of this
State than the Greenback qaes-
item This Greenbaek question that
there is so much talk about is not going
to give us poor hard-werking men em,
ployment, so let us stick to the old
Democratic ship. We cannot better
ourselves let US vote the straight Dem.
ocratic ticket, Jesse Irvine to the con.

THE ANSWER.

The question is asked US Why Ed
lnunds pays 50 much more attention to
esganizing his Clubs in Linn than in
Marion coantyI The reasen Is obvious.
Being in the interest Of the Mitchell

for Republican counties, but is intended
to divide and distract theevoters in
Democratic strongholds Linn and 9th
er Democratic counties are the natural
points Of attack.
