The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1886-04-16

We place before onr readers IN this
Issue, the ticket nominated by the Dem-
ocrAsie convention last week. For
Senators the convention nominated II.
A. Irvine and Hon. T. ]. Black. Mr..
levine Is we'll and gavorably known a.
one Of tho most successful end enter-
prisiug farmers in the county. He
was elected as Sheriff Ia 1868 on the
Democratic ticket, and,on entering up
on the duties of his ollice, he found
large amounts Of delinquent taxes I'M.
collected. These taxes vera promptly
collected and the taxes duiing his own
term were so faithfully collected, and
the delinquent list was SO small that
the people sent up the demand that be
should be tsnominated, although Il had
not been the policy of the patty to give
Sheriff or Clerk second nomina,ion.
He was renominated aud elected BY q
large majority, running largely ahead
Of his tieket. He served out the second
term with great honor to himself and
much satisfaction to The people, since
which time he has been engaged in
farming. He has taken much interest
in agricultural matters, having been
connected for many years With the
State Agricultural Association. But
space forbids farther romarks, except
that Mr.. Irvine's opinions are in line
with the views of the people on the sub
iscts Of railroad control, taxation, stc.
ATr. Black 10 msrcnant at Halsey,
represented the county in the last leg
islaturs, is keen, energetic man and
will make an excellent Senator. These
gentlemen will, we predict, be elected
by large majorisiss. Mr.. Henry, Mr..
Swank, Mr.. Blsvins, Mr.. HAnsard and
Mr.. Miller, farmers,a and Mr. MOntanye,
lawyer, are Ghe candidates for the legia
lasurs. Those are all gentlemen Of good
ability and Strict integrity, and will
look well and carefully to the Interest
of the people Of Linn county and the
legislature. We predict their election
by large majOrities. Mr., Enoch Miller,
Il
Of Halsay, aud L. w. Pomsroy, oI
Franklin Butte, are the candidates 70,
County Commissioners. They are both
farmers and old residents ct the county.
They are careful, prudent men in busi-
meas, and will be safe men 10 place ia
charge of the affairs Of the coAnty. j.
| p. GalbrAith, Of Brswnsville, Secretary
OF the b. w. NJ. Co., was nominated
for County Clerk. He is emiaently
and peculiarly qualified for the position,
He announced himself before hand as q
candidate, but declared his purpose not
20 do anything to secure bis nomination
but would abide by the action Of the
convention. The combination Of adj
vsrss circumstances which defeated AIR
Galbraith two years ago 40 longer ex-
lists, and msny OF the men who opposed
him then, now dsclare their pn-ppss 10
labor earnestly to secure bis election
We have no doubt Of his election. ID
s. Smith, known to every one in th.
county ms "Vanny," is the candidate
fer Sheriff. Il is concsded on ali hands
that there is no aerr ft man in all th'
county foF Sheriff than "VAnay." III,
fills the JsffsrsoniAn test # honesty
and capabiiity. A chef executive
officer Of she county, be will do eredi
to the name Of bis illustrious father
Dalszon Smith, who for many year
was the very idol Of the Democracy oi
Linn county. "T4nny' will have
big majority. For Treasurer, the con
vention nominated Wm. II. Curl, o
Scio. We are not personally scquaint
ed With Mr.. Curl, bat those who urge,
bis nomination assrred the convention
OF bis entire fitness for the Office. Mr.
Reid was rsnominat for County Scheo
Superintendent, truly &c recognition
Of his eminent succsss in that offic'
during bis present term. IL is com
mon remark among Republicans as vel
as Democrats, that no man ia the coun.
" combines all the necessary qualities
70 make good Superintendent as Mr.
Reid, h will receive large vote out
side Of bis party. P. M. Saith was
nominated for Assesser. He has serv.
ed 10 ths> office for a number Of years
both as prinsipal and deputy, aud has
experiences that fits him particularly for
the duties Of that ofIics. For Coroner
the convention sho we'd rare wisdom 10
selecting Ben. +. Thompson, Of il iris
burg. Ben. is Dem ocrat, and there
fore will make good Coroner for "hs
was made that way" Upon the whole
the ticket is gooI oae, and We bsspsak
for il the earnest, nnselfsh support Of
every Democrat in he conaty.
