Roseburg review. [volume] (Roseburg, Or.) 1885-1920, 1886-05-07
Democratic State
Convention.
A Good Ticket Nominated.

The Democratic state ticket Is strong one.
There seems to be no good reason why the en-
tire ticket should not be elected. Butler from
Polk for Congress, and Pennoyer from Multno-
nah county for Governor is strong head TO
any ticket. With such men TO lead success is
assured. Hon. Mr.. Gibbons for Secretary Of
State on the Democratic ticket will come down
from eastern Oregon like an avalanche upon
our friend Mcbride. Mr.. Gibbons is man
well prepared to conduct the business belong
ing TO that Office. Hon. r. S. Strahan Of Al
bany, than whom abetter qualified jurist never
wore the ermine is to be our next Supreme.
Judge. His opponent Judge Waldo is not his
equal much less his peer. Judge Strahan is
known to some extent personally in southern
Oregon, and we shall roll up large vote for
him.
ThE TWO LEADERS.
| The News has this to say editorially of our
| two leading standard bearers in the coming
conflict.
"The convention was well attended and
the proceedings harmonious. There was
manifest determination to take advantage OF
what have been paraded as the mistakes of the
Republicans, to avoid all appearance OF ring
dietation, either in platform OF resolutions or
in the nomination Of candidates. Great care,
therefore, was taken in the appointment OF
committees and managing the details of the
convention. There was disposition on the
part of few delegates 10 hurry things through
but they were promptly informed that there
was no occasion for haste, and that the bust
ness that brought them together must be trans
acted with deliberation and circumspection
The various committees were appointed and
the convention adjourned until 7 o'clock in the
evening in order to give the committee on plat
form time to report. AT the evening session
the platform was reported, discussed and adop-
ted without much change.
The nomination of Sylvester Pennoyer on the
third ballot was no doubt the strongest the
convention could have made. II seems to be
conceded that the result in the State will be
determined by Multnomah county and there
is little question that Mr.. Pennoycr will poll a
larger vote in this county than any other cand-
date who could have been named. On some
Of the questions which have agitatcd public
opinion, the News has been in full accord with
Mr.. Pennoyer, and it respects him highly as a
man Of independent thought and action, and
one who has the courage Of his convictions
In addition, it is free to express the belief that
il he is elected Governor, he will administer
the affairs Of the State in an honorable and eff
hcient manner, and to the entire satisfaction OF
the people.
N. L. Butler, of Polk county, who was nom-
mated for Congress by accIamation, is a lawyer
in Dallas, of the firm Of DAILY & Butler. His
nomination by acclamation shows that he will
have the united support of his party. lie is
said to be good citizen and an able man, and
will probably come as near keeping Bingcr
Herman's majority within reasonable limits
as any other candidate who could have been
nominated
Hon. G. w. Webb Of Union is man oi
excellent financial ability and will conduct the
affairs of state in different manner from pre-
vious incumbents. George Washington was
honest; and Mr.. Webb is one namesake o
the father ofthis country who is in this respect
; deserving of the &C. W." which introduces
his name. Mr.. Webb has by his honesty and
business integrity won the highest esteem o.
all who know him.
For slate printer we have the name o
Charles Nickel Of Jackson. He has the bes
l printing house in Southern Oregon. and car
