jnveii out at republican machine head

leli phone mehSKie fiom Barlow that no
delekrates were elected to the demo
ciatic or citizens convention from thai
plate, Mackeburu or Needy, but enthu
siastic delegations came from these

Ht the late republican convention. Even
thohe who were opposed to torming a
combination with the citizens move
ment were still enthusiastic for the
democratic organization.

ings with a few timely remarks. On mo

opposition to the minority report 'the

nong said while lie favored perpetuating
the democra' ic organization, it would
tie folly lo in minaie a ticket. He had

electing a eonnty c ulinl coinmntee and
delegates to the state c.iiveiiti-n, and;
the nomir.ation ol a straight democratic i
ticket ; btr the county ticket was purely
a local affair. Sonn-i binjj must be done HI
to rid Cb'Ckamas c unty of its great in- jL

Mr. K hv niaite an enriiest, eloquent ISi!
plea. Mr. Ganong also spoke oi the !
reckless extravagance of the county
board ol commissioners.
The minority eport of the conven
tion was adopted by a vote of 77 to 23.
The committee on platform submitted

E. H. ( 001V.R.
Citizens Candidate for Clerk.
"We, the democrn's of Clackamas!
county, assembled in convention, sub
mit the following:
"We believe in the old Jeffersonian
maxim of equal rights and exact jus
tice to all, and special privileges to none.
"We also adhere to the principles ad
vocated by Jefferson, Jackson, Samuel
J. Tildenj and such other illustrious
democrals, and we therefore condemn
the action of the republican party in
fostering the inteieet of the powerful
truns at the expense of the people of
this county, miking the rich richer, and
the p or poorer, and it is the duty of
the people to rise in their might and
protest with their ballots to overthrow
this condition of affairs existing in oi r
government.
"We condemn the extravagance of
the republican administration in the af
fairs of this county ."
The platform was received with great
enthusiasm.
