"srCH HOPE As - THE SICK DEst,AAk.
The Republicans Of Linn county
hope to partially redeem the county
from Democratic rule next June. The
election of their candidates for State
Senator and Sheriff is not improbable.
Capt. Humphrey is one OF the most
popular men in the county, and will get
a large number Of Democratic votes.--

The foregoing paragraph repeats in
brief the old, old story of the treachery
of the Republicans of Linn to major
ity of their candidates. knowing, as
they have in tho past, that the county
is fully 500 Democratic, and that moth
ing but the most Wholesale swapping,
diekering and purchasing can possibly
swing in man from their side, they
have for years past resorted to this
dodge, with, as a rule, but poor success.
Other candidates, who were to bo left
out in the cold by this species of jerry
Wandering, have very naturally revolted
at the trick, and have very rightfully
asked why they should not be entitled
to the united vote of their party. Hav-
ing been nominated in the same Con.
vention-and some of them by larger
vote-they don't understand why they
should now be used only as so much
trading timber
Is it possible that at this time there
are only two thoroughbred Republicans
on the track in Linn, and that the other
dozen candidates are only scraggy cay-
uses, placed on the track to make up the
racel We doubt is the six candidates
for Representatives,, the candidate for
County Judge, for Clerk, for Commits,
sioners, Treasurer, School Superintend
ent, etc, will care to admit such pro
position. Yet this is the inevitable
logic of the Oreyoaialt's oracular pro
nunciamento, and is unquestionably th,
programme that is being carried out by
the "managers" in Linn
It is natural that the Republican,
should do everything possible to cleo
Capt. Humphrey, rs he would be 1
hold-over Senator and would thus hav,
a vote for U. S. Senator in 1882, ant
his single vote might change the politi
. cal complexion of the Superior brancl
of the National Congress. Bat are th'
