The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1882-04-14
the TICKEr.

gsod feeling and unanin,ity prevailed
and the delegates seemed to vie with
each other in hunting up the very best
men 10 place upon the ticket. There
were no jobs, no trickery, no oombina'
nations, nor anything of that kind, but
every delegate seemed to have the COED
Of the party at heart, and worked with
an eye single to the success ofthe party
The platform is short, and we defy any
oneto point out weak pointin il. Tho
candidates are representative men of
this State, and no one can say one word
against the honesty or integrity OF any
one of them. Hon. joseph 5. Smith,
our candidate for Governor, is 80 we'll
known to old OrsgonianS, and they take
such pride in speaking of him to 'emi-
grants" that it Is hardly necessary
for rs TO say word in his favor,
His whole life, almost, has bean spent
in Oregon, and no one know better how
to conduct its affairs than joe Smith.
While no las always been a friend Of
the poor man, he has amassod consider
able wealth, principally by lucky speou-
lations in real estate. While his home
is in Portland, and great deal of his
property is in that city, he dses net
believe in building up our metropolis at
the expense of oil other parts of the
State. His health is not good, but is
| better than it has been for years AMI he
is perfectly able to Conduct the airairs
Of the Governors Office in way that
will meet With the appreciation of our
people. As to his moral standing we
need say nothing save thas no charges
I OF an evil nature have ever been made
ayains. him, much less proven.
Hon. IT. D. Fsnton, # Yamhill, is
| our candidate for Congress. lie Is n
young man of marked ability aud ua-
tarniahsl charastsr, and even Repukli-
can ne ~spapers admit this. lie has
served his coanty faithfully in the Leg
islature and won the confidence and es-
TEEN of his constituency. The only thing
said against him is that he cannot rem
der as much Service To the Safe as Mr.
George on account Of not having had
the experience which has fallen to the
lot of that gentleman. TAe people will
fail TO see the point Of this argument. Ii
3 member ofCongress has experience and
not tke will TO use it for the best inter
eats Of his State, his claims for the slf-
frages of the people will certainly be not
considered greater than those Of aa in
experienced can iidate.
Hon. J. X. Weatherford, candidate
for Secretary OF State, Is one OF Our
own citizens, having been olmosi
raised In this county. lie came to
this county from Missouri when bu. a
small boy. He came here an orphan
and, TO use homely phrase, has had
to "hoe his OVID row" through life
This he has done successfully 50 far.
He was reared on farm and getting
soIne money ahead, attended the
State Agricultural College, where he
graduated. Shortly afterward lie was
elected School Superintendent of this
county, and four years ago wa' chos-
e1 by the people Of this county tc
treprese1t them in the Safe Legisia
ture. He was made speaker OF tho
House, and discharged the duties de.
voiving apon by virtue Of that posi-
tion in manner satisfactory TO all
He is a successful lasyeT, MIA Of
| god moral character, and peculiarly
| we'll fitted to fill the position for which
he has been nominated.
i For State Treasurer the Convention
nominated Mr. Lyman Abrams, oi
Oakland. He is Merchant, and has
been very successful in business, and
the funds Of the state would be well
taken care of by him.
| Wilbur F. Cornell, of Jefferson, il
the candidate for State Prirter. He
is acknowledged to be one of the best
printers in the State, and will get /:
hearty support from the "craft' re.
IglrdIess Of party.
Prof. w. L. Worthington, OF the
DalIes, is our candidate for Superin
tsndent of public Instruction. We
have never met the gentleman, but
Ijudg ging from what we hear others
say OF him, he must be jast the man
for the place. The Orsyonian says he
is san educator tf experience, a
scholar and worthy gentleman.
/ Very little need be said Of Judge
Shattuck, whom we have nominated
for the Supreme Bench. Even his
worst political enemies having 10th
ing but kind words and praises for
him.
1t ii COOL ticket trom beginning
to end, and will be elected entire
next June.
