RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED AT THE
DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVEN­
TION.
1. That we declare our allegiance to
the time-honored principles of the Democratic par­
ty,and we denounce and condemn any policy savor­
ing of the “New Departure,” “Passiveism” or any
affiliation with Radicalism, which is but another
name for centralisation, no matter by what name
it is called or under what guise it is presented.
2. Wo declare that the Democratic party of the
United States should place a sound Democratic
Presidential ticket in the field, upon a sound Dem­
ocratic platform.
3. The interests of the Southern portion of Or­
egon have been too long neglected, and the time
has oomo when its development is imperatively de­
manded. While, therefore, we are in favor of the
development of the commerce of the Columbia and
Willamette rivers by any legitimate means, our
Senator and Representatives are hereby instructed
to support no man for U. S. Senator but a sound
Democrat, and no Democrat but one who is pledged
to use his best endeavors to secure all necessary
Congressional legislation looking to the develop­
ment of Southern Oregon.
4. We believe that a system of railroads, gov­
erned by just principles and intended for the pub­
lic good, is necessary to the proper development of
the State in general, and ot this portion of it in
particular; that the general government has al­
ready amply and liberally provided for the con­
struction of the same, and we are opposed to any
taxation of the people or State subsidies to aid in
the oonsttuetion of such railroads, and are equally
opposed to unfriendly legislation against the same.
5. We are opposed to any construction of the
Aet entitled “An Act providing for the selection
aad sale of the swamp lands belonging to the State
of Oregon,” approved October 26th, 1870, which
tends to deprive actual settlers of any rights which
they may have in lands reported ss swamp land,
and our State Senator and Representatives are
hereby instructed to use all honorable means to se­
cure such rights to actual settlers.
6. We are in favor of an honest and economical
administration of the State and county govern­
ments.
7. We declare that the land system of this State
should bo reformed, in order that the rights of ac­
tual settlers be protected against land monopolists.
We declare further, that the mining lands, which
have been selected as school lands, should be se­
cured to the minor, who has spent years of toil in
developing them, and that the sale of such lands to
capitalists and monopolies is an outrage which the
aoxt Legislature should remedy.
T he F inger of I sh .—Bill Ish ha* ar­
rived in thia county to manipulate for
Geo. H. Williams, as he did two years
ago, and as a result of his labors, the lead­
ing Radicals have agreed to throw the
Radical vote for the Bolting county can­
didates, and the Bolters have, in return,
agreed to cast their vote for the Radical
Legislative nominees. Here we have
conclusive evidence of the corrupt coali­
tion inaugurated during Williams’ stay
in Jacksonville. He could not remain
here to see his plans carried out, but sent
his man Friday, Bill Ish, to operate the
wires. The arrangements were all made
on Thursday, and Ish, Ross, Neil, Owen
A Co., are using cayuse horse-flesh very
roughly at this present writing, in order
to carry the news to their chief fuglemen
in the various precincts. We appeal to
the Democrats who are acting with these
Bolters, if they will allow themselves to
bo traded to the Radicals, like so many
beasts of burden, by Ross, Owen, Neil
and others of the same stripe ? The whole
contest now is between the Regular or­
ganization and the Republicans. And
that the latter have become seriously
alarmed we need no further proof than
the fact that they are quite willing to
trade off their whole county ticket in or­
der to elect their Legislative nominees.
Let no Democrat swap his vote.
A F oul C alumny .—The Assistant Re­
publicans are busy circulating a calumni­
ous report to the effect that the Demo­
cratic Legislative ticket will sell out to
Ben Holladay. This lie originates with
and is circulated by the very men who
used Ben Holladay’s money to defeat
the Democratic ticket two years ago. It
io a willful, malicious and deliberate
falsehood, and they know it. They are
working in the interests of Holladay by
seeking to elect a Republican Legislative
ticket, by which they hope to elect Wil­
liams, Mitchell, or some ether Republi­
can In the Holladay interest to the Unl­
ied States Senate.
He is Proven a Defaulter by the Rec­
ords of the County.
On Wednesday last, an anonymous cir­
cular made its appearance here, quoting
the order discharging A. M. Berry, th®
Bolting candidate for County Judge, from
the administration of the estate of God­
frey Eignor, and charging that the T imes
of last week had falsified the record in
the article entitled “A Nice Record for
an Aspirant for Judicial Honors,” in order
to charge Berry with defalcation. No
one fathers this proclamation; but James
T. Glenn seem9 to be the most active in
disseminating a document which he well
knows conveys a false impression.
The T imes never denied that Berry
was legally discharged from the admin­
istration of the Eignor estate ; on the
contrary, the T imes admitted his dis­
charge. What the T imes charged was
this • That Berry robbed the dead man’s
estate of $643 ; and, as if to render the in­
famy of the transaction all the greater,
this money ought to have gone to the
support of Eignor’s deaf and dumb sister
in New York, instead of being spent for
Berry’s private amusement, or in his
private speculations.
The T imes charged that the Court re­
fused to discharge him in November,
1856, because he was a defaulter and could
not pay over the money at the final set­
tlement of the «state, as the following
copy of the record entry shows :
“The Court finds from said final account
that said Berry has in his hands funds
belonging to the estate of Eignor, deceas­
ed, which has not been paid as the law
directs, it is therefore considered by the
Court that said Berry be not discharged
from his liabilities as Administrator un­
til he complies with the requirements of
the law.”
In April, 1857, an arrangement was
made, whereby Berry was to execute a
note with Thomas Brother & Co. and
Wm. Newhouse as securities, and that
this note should be regarded as a pay­
ment of coin for the purposes of the re­
cord, so as to enable the Court to discharge
this defaulting Administrator from hav­
ing anything more to do with the estate
he had robbed.
We assert again that A. M. Berry nev­
er paid one single dollar in coin to the
Probate Court, and that James T. Glenn
knows that he did not, and further, that
he knows he is disseminating an infa­
mous falsehood, when he asserts that
Berry ever did pay a dollar of money he
had stolen. This note was not paid, and
on Jan. 11, 1861, Berry executed a new
note to C. C. Beekman, Administrator de
bonis non of Bigner’s estate, for §931.28.
We append certified copies of the record,
to show by Berry’s own affidavit that he
acknowledges, ^nder oath, that the first
note, with Thomas Brother & Co. and
Wm. Newhouse as securities, was given
“/or the above specified sum of money."
Now, it Berry was merely security for
Thomas Brother <fc Co., as some of his
friends claim, why did he afterwards ex­
ecute the note given below for the same
sum, with the accumulated interest, and
mortgage his property to secure it ? Do
men usually deliberately ruin themselves
in order to serve their friends in this
way ? If Berry was merely security, why
did not Thomas Brother & Co. join in the
second note? Th® whole claim is a lie—
willful, deliberate, infamous. Any man
of common sense knows that the Probate
Court could not loan this money to
Thomas Brother & Co., A. M. Berry or
anybody else. On the settlement of the
estate, it belonged to the heirs, and in
default of heirs, it escheated to the State.
The money was never in the Court to loan.
Neither James T. Glenn or A. M. Berry
dare come out over their own oaths and
signatures and swear to any such state of
facts, without the commission of moral,
if not legal peijury. A. M. Berry’s affi­
davit given below contradicts any such
statement. He expressly states, under
oath, that the note was given for the $643
due the estate, and for the non-payment
of which the Court refused to discharge
him in the previous November. If Ber­
ry had not that money in November,
1856, how did he become possessed of the
amount in April, 1857 ? Did the uncir­
cumcised Shylock, Glenn, who is now
aiding him to suppress tho truth and dis­
seminate the falsehood, loan it to him?
The substance of the charge we made
against Berry, is this: As an honest man,
he ought not to have used one penny be­
longing to the dead- for his own purposes.
The record shows that he did, and was
unable to return it when he made his
final settlement, and to this day he has
not paid it back. If he had been an hon­
est man, the dead man’s money would
have laid in his hands as a sacred trust
from the grave, and no power on earth
would have induced him touch it. His
own confessions, as well as the record of
the Court, shows that he did use it, and
in so doing, hs robbed and defrauded the
estate. This proves our charge. When
the heirs offered to take $500—less than
one-half the amount then due, and §143
less than the original debt—why did not
his friend, Glenn, help him to pay it, if
he is so excessively sympathetic ? We
have made no charge against Berry that
we have not proved from the records.
We charged him with stealing from the
dead—not that he Is now undischarged
