The democratic nominations for the
different county offices seem 10 give gem
eral satisfaction among the democrats.
We have heard but little complaint.
The nominations Of DIR K Henry for
representative by the democrats is one
that meets with universal satisfaction by
that party and many republicans In this
section Of the county. DIR Henry il GER
tainly a competent man and one on
whom the people can depend. We pre-
dict large vote for DIR Henry.-Times.
THE COLLEGE. - Prof. Condit, Rev.
Prichard and VIM FortmilIer returned
last Friday from attendance on the
| presbytery at Portland. Important action
was taken in reference TO the college
here. Recommendations were made that
the institute be maintained az q high
rate academy, that eight Of the thirteen
directors be elected from Linn county
that three-fourths OF the college campus
be sold and the proceeds be made an
irreducaDle fund. II this Is done II
would create for the college fund oi
nearly t25, 900, as the three blocks sold
are, or will be, worth at least 5000 q
bloch, and a larger rate could probably b.
obtained for several Of the corner lots.
The attendance the past year was 132
being the largest in the history OF the
college.
