The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1880-05-07

The death of Dir. i. Il. Turk, Of
Canyon City, il something that Our peo-
pie in Linn will regret very much.
OUa candidates for Judges Of the ST.
preme Court Lave already an estab-
lished reputation, all Of them having
been on the Bench in Oregon.
We HEAR Of several localities where
Republicans expect to "scrateh" Charl-
ton and vote for our andidate-Miller.
They could not vote for a better man.
We congratulate The Polk county
Democracy Oh tho splendid ticket
they have put in the field for the
election next June. II shonId ali be
elected.
Tng publication Of the Corvallis
Ga=ette will be continued for The ben
eft Of tho family Of the late W. =.
Carter, and viii be edited by Jas. A.
Yantis.
Wiscoxsis Republicans send anti
Blaine delegates to the National Con-
vention, and the delegates fiom Tennes-
see arc solid for Grant. Delaware and
New Jersey viii be for Blaine, while
Maryland will send Grant men.
OrE readers should 10y all means pc
ruse the communication in another col
umn entitled "Yaquina Bar Il was
written by one Of the leading men OF
the State, and be has handled his sub
ject well. We would ike to hear from
him again.
The DEMOCRAT is the only Demo
cratic paper in the Central Willamette
Valley. Hence VIC have to fight all the
Republican papers. However, that is
nothing. We have fought with them
all for fourteen years. and we expect
that the same course will be pursued in
the future.
We hope our Governor VIII ap-
point some one State Printer who
will turn over the profits Of the office
to the family of the deceased. The
person who Is appointed viii hold
until the flrst day OF the next session
Of the Legislature, and during that
time ali the reports will be printed.
a LETTER from Hon. T. C. Owen, of
Marshfeld, informs us that J. II. Sig
lin, the Democratic candidate for Joint
Senator from Coos and Curry, viii
probably not have any opposition at the
election. His Republican opponent has
withdrawn from the contest, and no one
seems anxious to secure the position he
has vacated.
We understand that the reason Mr..
Brandon viii not run for the Lesisla-
ture is that he has heard his Repub-
lican brethren are going TO act in this
campaign like they did in the last
trade OF every other candidate Except
Baum) for some preferred one Last
year they centered on Charley johnson,
and this time it is Sylvander Dawson.
IT SEEMS that the Republican party
managers have concluded to try to beat
Dr.. w. F. Alexander, Democratic can
didate for the Legislature, with S. a.
Dawson, and to accomplish it expect to
trade off almost any other candidate.
Let Democrats take due notice and
checkmate this game. Dr. Alexander
is too good man to bo beaten by. any
such "gouge game" as that.
We this week received letter from
a gentleman in Portland, in support Of
John B. Waldo for Supreme Judge, but
as we are trying to assist in the election
of the tchole Democratic ticket we will
have to refuse to publish it. The ccr-
respondent states that we were incor-
rect in stating last week that Mr.. Wal
do had been Justice of the Peace.
We cheerfullY make the correction.
WE hear from very good authority
that the Greenbackers in the Forks
of the Santiam, or at least great
many of them, expect TO vote for
Charlton, the Republican candidate
for Sheriff. We thought their Con-
vention was kind of a Republican
job, and it is beginning TO work out
in that way. Mr.. Crabtree, their
candidate for Sheriff, will likely not
have very exalted opinion of his
party after the election.
BAUM's money now helps to sup
port the Herald, and that paper not |
being able to "bleed" any of the 9TH
er candidates, loses sight of all of
them and works almost alone for him.
Even their canvasser, a sleepy-look-
ing man named FELTON,, while out
through the county speaks for Baum
aud no one else. Baum is the only
one who is foolish enough t. spend
money on the concern, and that ac-
counts for it all.
