The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1880-03-26
the DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

PEELED to so to press Mt the usual hour
in order to reach the mails, we have
neither timo nor space to comment on
the ticket as we desire.
Mr.. O. p. Coshow, of Brownsville, is
most excellent selection FOR the State
Senate. lie is one of the early settlers
in Linn county, and has refused time
after time to accept any nomination
from his party and now, since he has
permitted his name to be used We can
safely say that his majority in june
will be such as to make the Democracy
glad that they selected him.
In the matter of the candidates for
the Lower House Of Legislature we can
surely see no reason why they should
not receive the full vote of the party.
It is much to the credit of the Conven-
tion that they have ignored a rule
which was never good ono-that is,
always nominating new men. In this
case the Convention acted with judg-
ment and discrimination by nominating
four out Of the six candidates who had
already been Representatives from
Linn. We allude to Hons. Harvey
shelton of Scio, ]. p. Schooling of Har.
tisburg, Jacob Newman of Santiam and
DR.. w. F. Alexander of Albany Air.
c. 7. Burkhart is so we'll known as one
of our most enterprising and extensive
farmers as to need no introduction at
our hands. lie was one Of the pioneers
of Linn, and stands first among the
farmers Of the whole State. Mr.. Cham
berlain is a young attorney of ability,
integrity and solidity of character, and
we predict that he will make his mark
in the capacity 10 which he will he
elected.
The nominee fol County Judge, Mr..
L. Bilyeu, has formerly been Superin-
tendent Of Public Instruction for Linn
county he is an educated gentleman, n
lawyer of gosd practice, and is in every
way qualified for tho position for which
he is named and The nominees FOR
County Commissioner-Me Messrs. l.. Cox
and Levi Douglas-who will necessarily
be associated with him in the matter of
administering our county aiIairs,are too
well known to need favorable mention
from us. Mr.. Cox has previously been
County Commissioner, and is therefore
doubly qualified for the office, and Mr.
Douglas is known as one of our hest
and most industrious citizens.
For Clerk we have Mr.. D. p. Mason.
a gentleman who has been defeated for
nomination in various Conventions IN
our county in the past, but always rati-
fed and stood squarely by the nomina-
tions. lie is in every way qualified to
lill the office to which he will be elected.
The same may with equal truth be
said of Mr. /. D. Miller, the nominee
for Sheriff. lie belongs to one of the
largest families Numerically sps aSingj
in the county, and while he and other
members of the Miller family have been
time after time defeated for nomina
tions, they have "never slept nor slum-
bered until the full ticket was elected.
lie is entirely capable of being Sheriff
of Linn County and the Republicans
can't beat him.
For Treasurer we have Ab. I'm
phrey, ore Of the Old Linn stock Of
Democrats, and VIC pledge our readers
that be will be the bulldog" Of the
treasury after his election in June.
For Assessor Mr. Hiram Williams of
Scio IS an unexceptionalIy good selec-
ton. He has acted as Deputy for al
most every Assessor for many years
past, and is therefore entirely compe-
tent to Judge of the valuation of prop
crty in the county. This is a very i'm
portant Office to the taxpayers Of Linn
county, and it is much to the credit of
the Convention that they made the
careful nomination above named.
For Superintendent of Public In.
struction we have 8Tr. d. V. S. Reid,
who FOR several years past has been
principal of the public schools of Al
bany. He is natural educator, tai
ented gentleman, and we are fully salts
fed that even the Republicans viii not
be able to complain Of his management
Of the school interests Of Linn County.
Geo. Grimes of Harrisburg is nomi-
mated for Surveyor. / fe is a young
man of energy and talent, and will on
the first Monday in Jur re next survey
With delight the dignif| ed manner in
which Coroner DR.. Davib will sit down
on the corpse of the whole Republican
ticket
