Stanp son, fur Constable, The Democratic Central Committee of this county will met in Albany next Tuesday at o'clock to fill tho va cane j on the ticket caused by the resignation of H. J. C. Averlll. Tut Forks of the Santiam unitedly asked that J as. H. Peery be nominated for Treasurer, and "the prayer of the petitioners was granted." A better mac for the position cannot be found any where, and he will cany the Forks by 200 majority. If you admire men wko stick to their friends, resurrect the last copy wi the Democrat and hunt out the sup porters of Henry Hurmester for Sheriff. They stuck to him ' thr-'Vh thick and thin," and would have been voting for him yet had he not withdrawn. The Herald calls the late Democratic Convention "a bolter's convention TX 11. . ror a ooiiers convection we must say it did good work. It is many a loug day since the people cf Linn County have seen more real Simon pure Demo crats on their ticket. The Register, in speaking of the Democratic nominees for the Senate Hons. W. R. BUyeu and Enoch Hoult says : 'By the by they 'are as good, if not two of the best men ia the party, and if Republican party beat them work has to be stone and don't you forget it." Coll Ta." Cleve, of the Register, thinks that probably the old Democrat ic ship has not completely gne to pieces yet in this county. H says, "Repub licans will not forget that it will take persistent and urgent effort to elect the oonnty ticket Oar Democratic friends have put up their best men, and it will take votes to beat them." The Republican candidates of thi county have shown the white feather by refusiug to meet their opponents in the coming canvass. Tail is a very public way of admitting their weakness, but then we have always heard that -'an open confession was goed for the eouL" Oa account of old age and Ul health Mr. H. J. C. Averi II declines to serve as Democratic candidate for Surveyor, and the vacancy will be filled in a few days by the Central Committee. Mr. Averill is one of the old line Democrats I this county and noth ing but tbo excuses ho offers would prevent him from abiding by the will of his pnrty. The harmony which existed in the Democratic racks at the close of the Convention last week was viewed with disgust by Republican leadens, and forthwith the editor cf the Herald was instructed to misrepresent facts in his report of the deliberations of that body He followed hia instructions to the let ter, and let off m:e of the worst mixed up charges we have ever seen csme from that source. It was composed of about equal parts of falsehood, praise, entreaty, prayer, malediction, mixed sparingly with tmth in very minute parcels. Oua convention last week wag very warm, and the contest between the friends ef the different candidates was decidedly interesting. Munkerg, Scott and Burmester maio a gallant fight for the nomination for Sheriff, but on the ninth ballot Humphrey received tee nomination. It is bnt due to the gen tleman who were defeated to say that ail announced it as their intantien to q everything that lay ia their power for the suecess of the whole ticket. While each one, of course, felt disappointed, there wss no ill feeling displayed. This is as it should be, and the people will look upon thee gentlemen with pride. It isn't every mjn that can bear de Ol R lll hll It is with great pride that we point to tho Democratic ticket put forth bj tho Convention last week. lion. W. R. Bilyeu has served this, county ai State Senator for the psst fr years, and hi servico wero so valuable 10 ear people that thoy almost with one ice demanded his renomination. The convention did well III honoring him again 'with the same nomination, mid also in putting up as his colleague Hon. Enoch lloult, of Ifarrisburg. Mr. EToult has also BtretJ thin county in the ime capacity before, and no one oan say aught gaitttt him. lis nerds no introduction from un, as ho is one f Oregoa'a pioneers, has a le ao qutinfance, and it honored by all who knjw him. Our Legislative tu-ket is conceded by ali to bo a good one, and there is net a man ou it that is not in full accord with the people upon all the question which are now of public iuteicat in this locality. Tho candidates ate gen erally well-known. Dr. G. F. Craw ford is a farmer, of Center Precinct, but resides in Albany a great deal of his time, lie has already set red the people of this county in the Legislature oae term, an 1 will go there again thia fall. Henry Cyrus, of Santiam, is com paratively a young man, but has the eeaSdeace of all who know him. lie is the son of lion. Wot. Cyras, late Maiter of tho State Grange, P. of BE., an 1 is in evt ry senso "a chip out cf U e old block." F. M. Kiser is a farmer of Uarrisburg Precinct, and is both hon est and capable. He has had seme ex perience on the rostrum and will make a very valuable member of the Legisla tare. J. J. Whitney is a un attorney at law ia this city and has campaigned so much that you all know him as well as we do- If he don't wake things up during the coming canvass we tuia our guoss very much. He is a logical reaa oner ami foroible speaker and Linn county will be heaiu .V m wbvn he geta inside the walla of tie Stat House. John Kobnott and J. ST. Kice are sue cessful farm is, residing in She id and Crawfordsville Precincts rospectiyely. They probably do not have a very ex 'ended acquaintance over the county, but wo know thai in the localities in which they live none are respected more than they. They are both well posted, fair minded men, and as pure an.1 hon est as anv one in our midst. For County Commissioners w have S. R Ciaypool. of Santiam, and John laom, of hhedd. Both are old settlers in this county and are peculiarly well auaptea to ioox atter our nuanciat U- fairs, ihey will probably not make as tuaay promises as we learn the Repub- i; i? i t . -.i ucau canamatei nave, out win woris lor tne best interests ot our county. P. A Hosoe, ef Tangft, is cur can- didate for School Superintendent. He holds diplomas from two of the best educational institutions in tho State of Virginia, and tuchin haa been almost hut life occupation. Our educational La- teresta are sure to prosper under his supervieion. Wo have been intimately acquainted with our candidate for Clerk, 0. H Stewart, for many years, and his nom- in .t ion suits us te a dot. If elected deficlences, referring to tho provis be will do his utmost to please all who ion of the Constitution walch requires have businesa to transact at the Clerk's offic An over-abundant share of modesty (?) will prevent us from saying anything else in his favor. He has an extended acquaintance over the county and will, let his friends speak for him. There is not much use in introduc- ing to the readers of the Democrat Mr. Geo Humphrey, the candidate for Sheriff; he is known, by sight at least, if not intimately, to almost every man, woraan and child in Linn County. He has served for many years as Deputy Sheriff, and is acknowledged to be, even try his political opponent, the best man in the county for tho position which lie seeks. The legal fraternity admit this fact, and one of its prominent Republican members openly pledges him his support. Mr. Humphrey is personally popular, and he will run a race Milliciently strong to effectually knock the bottftn outef Mr. Charlton's eeOBd trin. He will mal: an honest and cflicient officer. For the office of Treasurer the Demo crats have nominated Mr. J as H. Pesry of Santiam Precinct. A moro honest, upright, honorable gentleman never trod the sod of Linn County, and his majority in the Forks alone next June will be from 200 to 300. A year er so ago he met with the sad misfortune I losing his right hand while feeding a thresher, but still he does not ask this ofiice as a charity. The nomination was bestowed noon htm h. b. .crowded on the Tevenu rai Jor ordinary ,i , I Ze V man ana life-loner Rfimriflrat t Mr. H. J. C.

And last, but not by any ihoaos the least, comes Dr. J. A. Davis, us candi date for Coroner. He is the present incumbent of that cilice, and has transacted tho duties devolving upoa him io a mauner which elicits praise from all.

We hrwo published tho fact that tho Indebtedness of the State all that fur the payment of which a levy has to bo ma'le Is nald and h . paid. Also afu paying tho same that tho overplus derived from tho U vy made to pay It.,' was npproprlut cd to build an luaane Asylum. Not withstanding tho facts In tho case, Republican rqienkors nud papers will publish the statement that G rover and Chadwiclv saddled n debt upon the State of $700,00. As fulne and bare-faced as this assertion is, It Is made with an ulr of apparent con fldenco that it will he believed. Those St ite officers uro held, and so is the Democratic party, for this socnltod maladministration. For a momont let us see what these officerssnld ubout that debt. It will bo remem bered that the Legislatures from and including that of 1872, to and includ ing 1870, worejbeggod of theso offi cers to meet the liabilities Legisla tures were croating without provid ing for their payment. In 1872, Gov. Crover called tho Legislature's attention to that pro vision in tho Constitution of our State prohibiting indebtedness, and to provide for levying a tax when tho expenses exceeded the Income. Tho same year, 1872, Secretary Chadwick reported to tho Legislature as follows : "Sovora! acta havo been passed by the Legislative Assembly croatiug liabilities without making any provision to moot them. Hence there U an immediate necessity that some steps should be taken, not on ly to relieve the State of its present burdens, but also to provido fer it future and constantly increasing wants." In 1974 Gov. (.; rover agnin called tho attontlon of the Legislature to this fact as follows : "There ha been in pparent large increase of outstanding warrants since my last biennial message. This is owing to the fact that nearly all tho warrants drawn on tho Treasury from 18G8 to 1870 were suspended for the reason that they were drawn without an appropriation having tint been mado for Ihelr pavmont, the Legislature of 18G8 having adjourned without mak ing the genera) appropriations. The Assembly of 1-Tn provided tor the payment of a part only of these war rants, while tho balance wero carried forward to bo provided for by the ut appropriation bill. In addil! n te the payment ot tho face ef the warrants an addition ef thirty per xi average increase uru their face has had to be paid for interest on ac- count of suspense. Again, no Ouildlwj tas wa, etucd for lne construction ef the New l'euiteu- tiary and the eutlre cost, except pro- ceeds of convict labor, was paid by warrants on the General Fund, which was sufficient only for current ex- penses, an I the devotion of convict labor to this work swelled the appro- priations for the support of tho pris- on. Gv- Grover again calls attention 01 the .Legislature to tbo necessity of vyir g a tax sufficient to meet these vy to meet an appropriation. In 187.. Sec. Chid wick referred to this matter at length. Speaking o the increasing liabilities of the State through the neglect of the Iglsla- lures to provide for their payment when they create them, he remarks, h'And here in this connection, we de. sire to etate that thore is not an out stand ing warrant reported that is not covered by an appropriation." This substantiates what Is hero said In reference to legislation wheio appro- priations are mado without providing tho required moans to moot them. In 187C Gov. Grover again called the attention of the Legislature to this Indebtedness and to tho Const! - tutional provision requiring tho Log islaturo to provide against indebted- edness, and in bis remarks says: 77s Legitlalive Awmhly i madt responsi ble that the State be free from debt. These re. triclions wre alto brought to the notice of the Legislative Assembly of 1872 in a jcial me- smge, but their injunctions have remained unex ecuted." In 1876 Secretary Chadwick again called the attention of the Legislature to this subject and said, "In a form- er rPrt 1 referred to thle subjec ana lhere 8laled nat a clsWero pass Ud without reference to revenues ft na tnal Legislatures heretofore havo failed to Provide funds ln mo8t cases I m .a a M . mt WT tne Pyraenc OT extraorainary ex.

Bhattuck, candidate for Supreme Judge, is not a party man, while Judge Lord is known to be a very active partisan. The peo ple want a non-partisan court, one that will look to the well being, peace and prosperity of the people rather than the Interest ef party. For that reason, men without regard to their party relationship have concluded to elect E. D. Shattuck- Th court with Shattuek on the bench, would stand two active Republicans and one no party man, while if Judge Lord should bo elected it would bo com posed of three active partisan Republicans. THAT '.Mt-PT RHV. The little man of the llvmU in in great tribulation over t e Democratic tioket ef Linn County, and in an agoniz ing manner boo-hoos about the corrupt ring of Albany bull doif.ing the rounby candidates and Grangers, and in its usual and unfair way tho llrrte1f insinu ates that tho men placed up our tick et aro dish o nest and incapable. Alj this fuss and feathers on the part of the Herald will smnunt to nothing. So far as any ring in Albany tunning the county convention n concerned, wo refer our readers to the men who rep resented the the ta'o Albany Precincts in our county convention. The two Albany Precincts had in the ooaven tien fifteen delegates, and out of the ftftren only six were from the city, the rest were all farmers and Graogors from the country. Three of the six from 'own wore Granger; thus twelve out of the fifteen delegatus were farm era and Grangers. The following are tho names of tho fifleou who the Herald insinuate compose the corrupt ring: Mart Miller, G. K. Crawford, Geo Hochstedler, I. C. Dickey, O. Fry Jr., Phil Swank, Robt Houston, Win Euls. ton, L. C. Marshall, J. J. Davis, Coop er Turner, Jesso McGhee, J. It. .fruit. A lilovins and A. W. Gordon. These are the men tho Herald claims aud an nounces are the Albany ring. We say to the Herald man, and to every other person, that these are no ring men, but aro of the very beat citizens of the county. Men that have the intcret of the eopla at heart, and are a credit to tin party to which they belong They are as far above the gushing quill ahover of the llrvt'd as truth ia abivw fulschood and the insinuation by the llcx dl lhatS they have engaged in anything dhJion et or corrupt is not true and such statement was conceived in falsehood and ia a libel ujon the good nan a of these gentleman. All the assertion bv the Jerahi about bolting contains about as much truth as the above statement about rings, etc. Grind on, ye little inn; your effusions are but the expression of the impruaaions prw du'f-l upon your troubled in in 1 while wandet ing through the labyrinths of fraud and corruption in the late Ite pabliean State Contention, and ao strong are those impression, aud ao heavy do they weigh upon your mind and conscience, that you tiro irreaisUbly forced to disgorgo in order to obtain partial relief at least. Don't lot the Democratic licke; worry you so. Fsj usee been highly honored (?) by your Republican State Convention, and no dcuLt through your own nonal in fluence as a delegate to that convention you succeeded in securing for Linn Coanty the high compliment of beinf allowed a m. uiU r of the State Central Committee, aud by reason of your in ilu'ujo as suh delegate together arith the iorful influence of your paper, 8e! will ssnd kis man Fridav around with his little satchel and the pros will fun easy. A little !;;. eht neat Tin l. niioiiiu:- erad grease Ilufua Ml lory and I. F. Watson have become the chief menrnera in the solemn funeral rite about to bo cele brated ever the remain of the Mon golian sympathies in this State. This fellow Hal lory was kicked out of hi offica fer reasons published by the .Statesman and Orcuonlaa and repub- liabed in this paper some time sinoe, and now like the dog that kiaea the foot that kicks it he is around howling for his party and thus admitting the justness of the aforeaid kick. There is Tom McF. Patton, who never paid A dime for party purposes or made a speech, keeps right on his third term, having already liko Malljry aerved eight years. Tbtr was a Watson after Patten's place, but Patton has done no crookedness to elongate hia alary, nor had tho second Watson foresworn himself to obtain Patton'a place. This makes a big difference. And the examples of Mallory and I. F. Watson are such as Patten and the other Watson cannot follow, hence Watson tho second has no Republican ground to stand on, not such as would cause the removal ef Patton. There fore let Mallory and I. F. Watson speak. A waggish Republican reraaiked to ua the other day that tho democracy were as big fools as ever for they had not sense enough to pay the expenses of Mallory and ataon, when traveling and speaking in the interest of the Democratic party. W gave it up. 1HOSI. LOCKS. Had it not. been for llufas Mallory the State te day would own the Looks at Oregon City and the Willamette river would be the cheap highway fer the people of the Willamette Valley. As it is the river is virtually locked up to prevent competition and a reduction of freights. And this is to be forever. The people's right in this regard has gone into the bands of the monopoly that will rule with an exacting rod When the question of purchase was in tho Legislature, Mallory favored the sale to the State and worked hard for it until some political consideration was sprung upon him and suddenly he change tactics and det-ated tho bill. The my story was never solved. Can any lawyer be found that un derstands the ground upen which Judge Lord declared the law reduc ing the fees of Clerks and Sheriffs un constitutional? If so, let him -how himself. nr. vtioR .K.!w.a m hi A, UK.

H. Harmon has romoved his barber shop to the St. Charles Hotel Block. He has added a soda fountain with choice cigars and tobacco te his establishment. Charley is one of the best barbers in the country and with hia temperance drink and choice Ha vaaas ho will find plenty to do. Mrs. Arthur Wheeler hasoponed a dress making shop in town and Is prepared to cut, fit and make dresses in tho most fashionable style. W. C. Peterson has been employed by Mr. J. L.

In either case Walter gets tho benefit and is happy. Last night tho leading citizens held a meeting to consider the propriety of holding a grand fourtls of July celebration at Lobanon.

Many of them have hcreto faro bern before the iople aud bav been elected to and filled poaiiiuioi of public trust, with ctedit to themselves aud their party.

And we warn you, Mr. JfmwU, te confine yourself to the truth throughout this campaign. The people havo not forgotten your course two years ago.

While I am thankful Co the Convention far the honor, I most respectfully and decided ly deeline the nomination for the rea son that my age, aa well as continued ill health and lack of physical strength, render me unablo to attend to the du tws of the office. I hope that the Central Committee will at once appoint some suitable person to fill the vacancy on he ticket. H. J. C. Averill.

Democrat : Thinking that a few lima from the bunch grass regions miht te of come little interest to the iadcncf your valuable pIor, I will tty sod write you a few item. Jason Wheeler, of yeur city, secom psnied by Mr. Connor, of Benton, spent a few days in our town the past week. They expressed themselves much pleas ed with our town snd country. Col. W. EL Etfinger, of Portland, will sddress the citizens of this plaoe tnigbt on the political iu-a of the day. The Col. will have a good house, snd s goed time is expected. He will speak in Weston elso. We have an excellent Couxtv ticket and its election is assured. Notwith standing the money that is being used to defeat Hon. S. M. Pennington for the Senate his election in predicted by 300 msjoriiy. Prof. L. J. Powell, of your county, delivered a potit'eal speech here on the 13th inst. Tho Professor ia a very pleasant gentlemsn, but we think better calculated to make a picnic speech than a pelitical one. He had but a small audience, and he used most of his time telling them that he was not sere over his defest, but could not say much for the ring ticket. Our State ticket gives entire satisfac tion, and it is not au uncommon thing to hear men of both parties say the convention could not have acted wiser, and I dont think that I am misrepre senting things when I say the ticket will more than receive its party vote, especially Hon. J. 9. Smith and J. K. Weathnford. Both of these gentlemen will poll a very heavy vote in the countv. They are spoken of as the purest men wo hsve, and men that clsim to be posted asy they will carry the banner Democratic county by 400 or r00 msjority, as many Republicans de clare their intention to support them. We hear cheering news from Baker and Union counties, and predict a rousing Democratic majority in Eastern Ore gon, so large that it wiil take an extra steamboat to land it safely in Port land. Bunch Grass. A FALSI STATEMENT COHRKCTLD, Ed. Democrat: S. A. Clsrk in the Willamette Farm er of May 12th makes a statement which is fttlae snd shows a malignant dosire to injure Col. Elliott. The en tire artiele referred to is unfair and es pecially soil the following j 'It ia simply one of Elliott's mads up games." The facts sre, the telegram published in the paper was correct. 4.pril 29th, 1882, we did receive a dispatch from C. 8. Clark, New York, asking permis sion, of Col. Elliott to his reprint his (Elliotts) great speech, verbatim. We it&mediatoly saw Col. Elliott and he gave his consent, and we telegraphed an answer accordingly. Col. Elliott knew nothing of the telegram until it was shown him by us The original telegram is at our omce and can be seen any time, by any one. Watts fc Gokfuky.
