FOR JOINT SENATOR.

Hon. r. A. Bensell, of Newport,
our candidate for J Joint Senator with
Polk county, is in town. OF Mr.. Ben,
sells qualifications for this response
BILE position, it is unnecessary for us
to speak to the people of Benton
county; he has served as our Repre-
sentative in the Legislature and his
record there is one of profit to his
county. His efforts in behalf Of
Yaquina Bay have made him the
friend of every person in this part OF
the country who desires to see that
harbor improved, or its surrounding
country developed. For more than
ten years Mr.. B. has lived on the
Bay, and has made the interests of
that section Of the country his own,
and freely given his time and money
to any and every enterprise that was
calculated to develope the resources
of that section, and his efforts have
been appreciated by his neighbors,
for almost every one of them ire
spective of party, will vote for him.
Mr.. Bensell is well and favorably
known throughout the State and
will, therefore, be able to do much
good in the next legislature to which
he " i'll undoubtedly, be elected.

OUR JUDICIARY.

We are on the eve of one of the
most important elections ever held
in our State; the entire Judiciary is
to be elected, and before these differ
ent tribunals, the most sacred rights
of life, liberty and property, will
from time to time be adjudicated,
and in the selection of the various
Judges to be selected at the coming
election, too much care can not be
given; the Republican candidates for
the position of Supreme Judges
possess many qualifications for this
high office calculated to peculiarly
fit them for the duties that will be
imposed upon them. Not one OF
them has ever been mixed up with
any political ring or intrigue, and
all are men Of sound and undeniable
legal ability. The convention in se-
lecting these gentlemen reflected
credit upon itself by choosing men
qualified for the Office, and not on
account of any previous political ser.
vice to the party.
Between the three candidates, we
can make no distinction, each is pos
sessed of the necessary qualifications
to entitle him to the position, and has
proven by success at the bar, that he
will be an honest, competent and
upright Judge.

CUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN.

Hon. NJ. G. George, the Republi-
can nominee for Cogress will address
the people of Corvallis tomorrow
evening. We trust that every one
who can will be present. Mr.. George
is an able speaker. and to this fact,
will be added the additional one that
for the next two years he will repre-
sent Oregon in the Halls of Com
gress. We have known Mr.. George
from boyhood and no man could re-
ceive a more hearty support from
us for this high position for the very
good reason we know of no man
better fitted for the responsible posi-
tion. For four years he has been a
member of the State Senate from
Multnomah county, and his record
there, not only shows him to be a
man Of ability and calculated to
command respect and WELD great
influence, but his actions in the in
terest of this county in relation to
the Yaquina Bay further demonstrates
that he is man above personal or
local interests. During the whole of
Mr.. Georges term in the Senate, no
bill was introduced favoring in any
way the interests of Yaquina Bay
that did not find in him an able ad-
voca,e and hearty supporter, and
as the platform on which he is run
ming, by positive declaration favors
the improvement of the harbor at
Yaquina Bay, no doubt can be
entertained by any one that this
particular section of the county will
have in Mr.. George friend ready,
willing and able to assist us in our
interests.
Mr.. George came to Oregon when
child in bis mothers arms and has
lived here ever since, until few
years ago; he resided in Linn county
and is personally known to very
many of our readers; he is still a
young man, his private character is
above reproach his integrity above
suspicion, and in learning and ability,
few minds are better stored or more
gifted;7 he will, when elected, not
only make faithful and efficient
public officer, but reflect credit on
the State that sends him as its Rep
resentatiye.
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1880-05-07

We note in the order of things
that Hon. r. A. Bensell of Newport,
was nominated by the Convention
for joint Senator to represent the
counties of Polk and Benton. This
is as it should be. We know of no
one more worthy or one on whom
the honor could rest with a better
grace. Mr.. Bensell is an indefatiga-
BILE worker and in his hands the in
terests of Polk and Benton counties
will find staunch aud firm advocate.
His election by large majority is
assured.-Junction Republican.
