The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1880-06-04
NOTICEl

county, Oregon, do positively say that we
do intend, on the seventh day OF June,
lSSO, TO do all that lies In our poser to de-
feat the Democratic nominee for. County
Clerk, for the following reasons:
FIRsT-He for several years has done all
in his power to butcher good citizens TO
accom- plish his own selfish ends and In so
doing, has resorted 10 such low principles
that we. as a community, can not aud viii
not stand by him.
SEcoED-We understand that he Is max
ing point, or trying TO, gs q temperance
man. So far as that - concerned, we say
positively that If he had justice, he would
now be in the penlteufiary for vialatiSH ef
the Liquor Law. We have never had a
man in this community that has done
more to corrupt moral principles than said
nominee.
THIRD-Six years ago he forsook the
Democratic party, pledged himself TO the
tail end Of the Independent party, and did
use his influence for J. S. Morris, and did
vote for said Morris in order 10 secure the
same favor in time Of need, and now he Is
a good Democrat, a good Temperance man
or anything the Devh wants him 70 be, for
favor.
FoURTH-WhiIe he was acting as Post
master here, he WAS guilty Of the most
outrageous violations of the law, and done
all ne could to favor one of his clique To
the detriment of this community, aud we
are prepared TO prove those charges II he
dare deny them.
FIFTH-While here, in Scio, he and his
clique made several attempts for the
Clerkship, and was Handsomely defeated.
Finding that he could not accomplish IL
here, thought IL policy to 90 TO Albany and
bulldoze the people there and secure the
nomination, which he did; but since then
the people Of Linn county have found the
nub, and say that on the first Monday in
June, 1889, that they win break him from
:. sucking eggs"
SIXTH-We hear the pets of said norni-
nee are making all the capital they can In
favor of said nominee on account Of Mr..
Baum being Jew; but we think ourselves
highly honored to have a man of principle
to vote for. We think OF two evils, II Is
best to choose the least. While we know
Sir. Baum is a Jew, we know that ID. p.
Mason can double discount him on thai
line and what is moro, Bfr. Baum has an
honorable record, one that IS above re-
proacl1; and he is our man. This is the
sentiment of the Democracy in the Forks
Of the Santiam.
ScBo, May 10, 1850.
We give this enIanation from those
political marplots in full, that the hon
est voters Of Linn may understand to
what base purposes Baum and his char
aeterless aids win prostitute them,
selves.
During the discussion at Lebanon
on Wednesday Mr. Mason managed to
secure one of these posters, and mount
ing the stand, read it throughout to the
audience, and stated that instead of
denying any Of these base charges he
would simply leave it to his Republican
neighbors in The Forks Of santiarn who
had known him for years if there was
any truth in these charges-whereat
Mr. Geo. johnson, a prominent .Repub-
lican- merchant OF Scio, who CHANGED to
be present, sprang to his feet and pro-
nounced every single charge contained
in the document utterly false from be-
ginning to end, closing his remarks by
stating that be knew the author of the
lying poster-that bis name was Jack
Houston, Of Scio, with whom Mr.. Ma.
son some years ago had personal diff
Guilty This prompt refutation Of Mr..
johnson, as might be expected, brought
down the house, and for a lew minutes
so wild was the enthusiasm among Ma
sons friends that the proceedings Of the
meeting we're suspended. 1t was
boomerang for which Baum and his
henclrnen were wholly unprepared, and
Baum, with confused and shameful
bushes mounting to bis checks, nnder-
took to disclaim any knowledge Of the
existence of such a document until he
had just then heard it read by Mason
But afterward, on the street, when his
aide-de-eamp PIummer openly confessed
to q crowd that he had known all about
bhe documents existence for week
past, but had advised against its circu-
Iation, Baum, who was standing by,
openly stultifed himself by unthought
