COL. LARRABEE IN LINN.


Col. c. II, Larrabeo met his appoint-
monts at the various towns in linn
last week, and was invariably greeted |
with good audiences. lie spoke at
Harrisburg, Brownsville, seio and Al
bany, and everywhere he left good
impression and onqpestionably made
votes for Hancock. The Colonel is not
one of your voiuhle, misunderstanding,
Fourth of July orators-all sound and
fnry-but is one of the most careful,
pains. taking, deliberative, logical speak
ers We ever listened to. lie possesses
a peculiarly pleasing manner, and his
speeches are of the candid, argumenta-
tive, matter fact sort that cannot fail
TO hold the attention and challenge the
respect Of his hearers. There is. no
rant about him. lie gets down 20
facts and figures, making oareIa! anal
ysis and logical deductions from palpa-
BILE facts Of record and history, and
leaves 40 gap behind for the admission
of prowling enemies. In dealing with
Garfield he quoted only from Repnhh-
can authority to show up his iniquities,
while he supported the Democratic
claim to ascendancy by marsl'alling ar
rays of facts To prove that it is pre-
eminently q party worthy of all trust
and confidence.
Col. Larrabee showed conclusiyely
by the record that Garfield was q b,ibe-
takcr, false swearer and a hypocrite
of the worst school that he is a scurvy
POLITICIAN and shameless triekster
that he took s329 of u bribe in tho
Credit Mobilier steal, and afterwards
swore to lie by claiming it as loan
that he took rs hribe s., 900 in thC
De Golyer pavement steal, and after
wards claimed it rs an attorney fee
and that in order to assist in stealing
the Presidency for Hayes, he alliet
himself, as ''yisitiing statesman" il
the South, with murle,ers, thieves ant
periurers, and sacrificed to the demands
of his party every principle Of truth
liberty and justice.
All of these charges against CARTEL,
are proven by the record, and instea,
Of being '.Demoeratic calumny" an
msinly from Republican authority.
In speaking Of Gen. Hancock th,
Colonel referred with pride to the fac
that he had served in that eminent sol
dier's command and knew him to be al
, that is claimed FOR him hy his mos
partial friends. He showed that Cen
Hancocl's record exhibited in a re
marlsable degree those three essentia
clements of great mah-iirmness
courage and conviction. In spite o
party, rissing every chance of promo
ton, he has followed what he believe,
to be right, regardless Of consequences
As a soldier he was schoole,l 10 obey
and has learned to command. Ills rev
erence for the law is only cqiIaled h,
his conscientious discharge of the du
ties it exacts. lie has been placed il
positions demanding the exercise Of lin
judgment and rare discretion, in ever,
, one Of which he las. scrupulously 1e
garded the law Of the land and exhil
) tied theI noblest traits If patriot
craftsmanship. lie has been TO man
man, 10 party's man. The Presidenc
itself IS not more cxacting than wa
the position he occupied in Iouisian
and Texas. In every position to whicl
he has been called, whether leading hi
legions in battle, or dispensing The law
of commonwealth, lie has won the ap
probation and excited the admiration
F of his eountrymen, and in the .Plesi
+ Dental chair to which he Is soon to b
called lie viii secure the conli.leuc
even of his bittereat enemies.
Il Col Earrabee has done noble worl
for the cause TINS far in Oregon, tht
fruits of which will be a rich harvest o
i Republican votes Cor Hancock in No
vember.
