Clackamas, half OF whose delegation
at Albany bolted their convention
instructions and went into the anti
Hermann combine, Vanderburg goel
out with 800 to the good, Linn county
whose delegates in the Republican
congressional convention we're anti.
Hermann, goes for Vanderburg with
over 1000 plurality. Tongues own
county gives him 81 plurality. The
nice combination OF sagacious pollti-
clans who put up the job at Albany,
but did not have influence enough at
home To carry strongly Republican
counties for the Republican candi-
date, should hasten To retire to pri-
yate life. A little more Of such bril-
liant management would totally
wreck the Republican party in this
staie.-COrvallls Gazette.
Lane county was Hermann county
and supported him for the nomination
but In the election IL made the best
record for Tongue Of any county IN
the state and district. Lane county
gave Tongue plurality Of 644 votes
over Vanderburg, the Populist nomi-
nee, and elected the entire Republi-
can ticket except one representative
and county treasurer. Two years ago
the Republican pluralltles over the
Populists candidate we're; For Lord
IOi. Klncaid D52, Metschan 663, VOL
yerton 7I3, Leeds 1872, Idleman 749
and Hermann 933. Thus 1t will be
seen that the counties OF Lane, Ben
ton, Lincoln and Douglas, which |
supported Hermann In the conyen-
lion, were loyal TO the party and gave
Tongue large plurallties, equal to
former years, while Marion, Linn,
Jlackamas and other counties that
fought Hermann vigorously In the
and nominated Tongue
vent back on their candidate and
yave pluralltles for the Populist NOM
nee.
Two years ago Hermann had plu-
'allty over Miller, the PopulIst noml-
lee, OF II, ,475, and would have been
elected this year over Vanderburg by
bout the same or perhaps slightly
educed plurality, had he been nomi-
ated. Hermann Is In harmony with
