THE TICKET.

recenI SIal0 anu county ConSeutiohS
was fully demonstrated in the names
they presented for the suffrages of the
people, each one of whom is compe-
tent for the position and irreproacha-
ble in character.
Hon. F. 4. Moore heads the ticket
for supreme judge, and is an admirable
selection and qualified in every re-
gard for the Office. He is gentleman
of unblemished reputation, and a
lawyer of acknowledged ability in the
U. S. and higher courts of the state
For attorney general, Hon. Lionel
r. Webster is the proper person. He
is a thorough jurist, and not the least
charge has been proved against his
character. Possessed of legal, dis
eliminating mind, the position, IN this
instance, seeks the man.
Hon. w. R. Ellis, for member of
congress, second district, is truly the
peoples choice. Of firm, unconi-
promising character, he will be the
right man to do determined battle for
an open river, and will be a worthy
and capable coadjutor of Hon. Binger
Hermann in the fight for the inter
ests of the Inland Empire
No one is better known in this dis
trict than Hon. Geo. Watkins, the
candidate for circuit Judge. AS sena-
tor from Wasco he was the foremost
champion for the portage road a. the
Cascades, and as former judge of
this district has given general satisfac-
tion. A farmers boy, he has raised
himself to his present position by his
own unaided effort, and is entitled to
considerable credit.
The present incumbent of the dis
trict attorneys Office, Hon. w. H.
Wilson, is candidate for reelection.
He has proved himself competent in
every particular, and better selection
could not be made. In many instan-
ces, by Mr.. Wilson's 1ndefatiguable
efforts crime has been punished and
the community protected from vicious
ness. He is self-made man, and one
in whom all can place the utmost con-
idence.
Mr.. John Luckey, for member OF
the state board of equalization, is an
excellent selection, and we know of
no man who could fill this difficult po
sition as well. Of an honest, upright
character, no one need have the least
doubt of the justness Of his decisions
regarding valuations.
For joinr-senator for the counties of
Sherman and Wasco, Mr.. H. S. Nc
Danel, will make an able and honest
representative. His interests are
identical with the peoples, and it can
be positively stated that in him the
producers will have friend who can
not be awed by threats or moved by
favors
The same can be said of Mr.. w. w.
Steiwer, the candidate for joint-sena-
tor for the three counties of Gillian,
Sherman and Wasco An intelligent
man, whose interests are the same as
those of the farmers and sheep
growers of the Inland Empire, he is
the proper man to be elected to the
office.
Messrs. E. N. Chandler and T. r.
Coon, the nominees for joint-repre-
sentatives are men in whom the citi-
zens can place implicit confidence.
Nothing will be omitted or neglected
which will be for the development of
the region of country east of the Cas-
cades.
The county ticket is composed of
the best material that could be select
ed from the whole body of fellow citi-
zens
Hon. @. N. Thornbury has been an
exceptionally capable county judge,
and during his incumbency the great
est care has been taken of fnances,
and great improvements made in our
highways. He should be reelected.
Mr.. J. NJ. Huntington, for county
clerk, is a correct accountant, and
would make very competent official.
He has had experience in the minu-
tiae of the Office from acting as dep
uty. An honest, capable man he
would make good official.
For sheriff, Mr.. G. P. Balch. is the
right man in the right place. An
active, energetic young man, he would
give general satisfaction as an execu-
tive officer. He is very popular, and
few men could fill the position as well.
DR.. III. A. Leavens, the present
commissioner, is candidate for re-
election. His fitness for the du-
ties, and the acceptable manner in
which he has fulfilled them, make his
election very desirable. Every man
knows DR.. Leavens, and he Will re-
ceive large vote.
Mr.. VIM. Michel, for treasurer, is 8
q peculiarly appropriate nomination.
Bnrned out of home and business in !
the September fire, there is not much
doubt that the electors of Wasco will .
give him large majority. His hon E
ssty and competency has never been
doubted
For assessor, Mr.. Joel w. Koontz,is b
! man thoroughly acquainted with 8
valuations. and particularly adapted to b
