COliRESPOXDEM'E.
Clatskanie, Or., Feb, 26nd, 1S84.
Mr. Editor: Tho 22 of April will
soon l. here, and Use primary ni-itns,
and the County, State a.nd National Cbn-ve-ntion'j
inert. - ,f.
t Such is tho condition of our country,
xntTsc! closely are party liuc-i drarn tliat
it is of the utmost importancr in the Ku
publican party that its best an.l vi.iP.st
jnen are brought out .and nominated for
he sufirages of the people. It will not
lo to any longer let these "shining
lights" rejnain in the back ground.
We all knoy that tlit? Democrats are
trying by ev2ry artilice. to seduce such
iiicn, and wiHrtak to their bosoiik all
those whom told neglect and an holiest
chaneo; heart compel lo leave our ranks.
"We must not - only hold all wc have,
but by eery Teiniate means keep with
lis the elder class of learned and repula
hhr men who are followed by near'v all
of Youni America, who in cpen iuouth
wonder listen to their instructing dis
courses, and hanker after a share of their
wisdom as a chicken does after a grub
worm. In the good old times tho peo
pje presented many .candidates for all
ojEee;; their merits-;ind demerits were
freely discussed, and by so doing only
the best men were secured. !
It may seem egotisticil on luy part to
try to forestall action on the part of thf
County and State Conventions, or bias
Legislatures. Others hiay deem me a
fool for attempting to get in a good and
true man. I of course hold tuvself bound
by the action of those who represent us
; in convention and;hall vote for the can
didates pus on the ticket. t
If the man I "pi sent U not al.' and
more than I defccribe him to lc you ban
find it eut by close acquaintance with
liint.
Now lt us drrp all feelings of jeal
ousy, all partisan hatreds, trot out our
best men, and as well as we can, shw
their good poir.ts, and the reason why
we should vole for them.
In 'acc'Drdrfnco with this programme,
Mr. Editor, and voters of Columbia Co.
ajid tto of Oregon, I call your atten
tion to one among us, and whose name
you shall hear after I have completed
his autobiography. My only reason for
U0.tV.ow giving you his name is the dread
fear that before Ican complete hi fuli
reserdtlwi Democrats would by some ar
tifice prevent him from reaching the ex
lilted position he is iutitled co. Let him
for the present simply be to you, as The
Dark Horse of Columbia County. In
litres races and pugilistic encounters you
kin w that some of the best steeds and
menhave been so entered, and I claim
the right to so enter my candidate.
: This man's very age speaks of refined
wisdom. His knowledge of events dat- i
jing back ftfoF. .forty yeara.ago is not ex-eUed-by
any one who is not read up in
the history of those times; as a moral
man and sound logical rpaciXc.r he can't 1
be excel fc'd by any but superior men.
In politics he was one of the original
ftbolitionests, and so deserves a pension
nore than any who only went to the
tront end got shot.
He would make a splendid Governor, -j
His? courteousness in business affjirs,
and knowledge of the intricate details of
official work, prove him a most suitable
rcau for the office of Secretary of State.
In casts of a vacancy on the Supreme
bench his "Solomon lik wisdom points
him as the man of all men to don the
judicial erniine.
But I fear that .all these places are
bespoken, but I propose hiui with thed
fcupport.. of. all, ,hi3 followers who are
as numerous among the Democrats as in
our own ranks, for United States Sena
tor; failing here we will n;ako a deter
mined o2ort to place him in Congress in
place of Hon. M. C, George. I believe
in the man seeking the office, and either
of these places would ruit him and he
would soon have God in the Constitu-
tion and a sixteenth amendment urohi-j
ibitin" unbelievers and Cathole3 from
holding any offiJ of trust or honor in
the tTnited SUtes.
He could also help get through a bill
making a law of a favorite scheme of his
to stop paying pensions to crippled sol
diers; put them in State poor houses, and
havo the Nation pay tho States for their
, keeping. When this is done some people
can make a big fortune on the boys' hides
who wore the blue provided "they were
r.ot too liadly scarred. r
He has proven an adept at gettirg,
county rations for one crippled soldier at
; anyjrte, and would be sure to res;st any
'pensioning of those who lost health and
hope in rebel prisons. j
. Failing to get him in as Senator or
Representative, though when all my
reasons why he ivhould go in aro ex'
p!ained to you people, and he has thor
oughly canvassed tho County and State
I can't see how he cjfln fail. I propose
hiiuas State. Senator or Representative.
.Here ho would La in, hi3 natural ele
ment. .. . ,
Jle says he wcild Jiave supported
Mitcliell for the.3cnate, only hn regauU
ed him (MitcbclO-ns.n Mor-non and bad
man generally. . You .ean . see by this
that but for my 'cal'ididate, John II.
Mitchell would now be in the Senate.
.... . fm
Tlmre is no fear of pretty women, run
ning o(F with mv candidate. With the
wisdom of Solomon, lie ca;l-as did Solo
Dion when convinced ,cf Ids fpllieg by the
w eight of years .be gazed on his thousand
beauties and exclaimed " all is vanity
and vexation" te.' .'
Neither would t Jio toto to rend any
lawyer - to . the United States Senate.
When he was a young man his: father
wished bim to become a lawyer, but he
found out that no lawver could be hon
est, and so gave it, up, but he has had a
great many years practice at the bur.
No more loyal man than he remained
at hornet during the war, and ho greatly
aided our cause by peisuading lono wid
ow, sons anil poor men to go forth and
be Lilled or,, crippltd. '
He is. well read in Dr. Dick's works
and Love-joy's lectures.
If Prof, tuick docs not want the po
sition of Superintendent of Schools a
gaiu I shall certainly run him here. On
sines and tangents he is great.
I feel warranted Mr. Editor and A
low citizens in saying that in order to
serve the people, my candidate following
in tho footsteps of the patriots it: Cali
fornia a few years ago will take any
thing he caii get, and will servo for a
bout half of the regular salary, and do
nate the rest to tj:t jjoor, and he believes
that "Charity begins at lions e,"
Think over the few reasons I have
ada:iced why we should put him in,
and as. soon as I get full reports fro;i
Missouri, EmpirOj City, Or., and other
places in California I wiR .complete his
autobiography and give you his name
and address.
. I am determined to see that he has a
fair. show" and .occupies that position in
politics ami society w hich his well known
veracity, ability, education and talents
Ljustly entitle him. To think that such
a man has for forty years demauded a
place and yet never got even the small
est. All people who wish to see James G.
Dlainc elected I-residei't must vote for
my candidate as he is 'supporting' him.
To use his own language " me'n Blaine
don't differ on no point."
Thus you sec Mr Editor, and fellow
citizens if we secure the co-operation of
my candidate the election of Blaine is
sure. You surely will never again have
sweet sleep and pleasant dreams visit
your virtuous couches in midnight's still
hour if you do not come to my aid in
solid battalions and put hi in in. On the
contrary every sigh of the night wind
i.s it whistles over river and wooded
mountains will haunt you as a requiem
from the lost souls in hell. , Remember
he is up for one of these phices and we
must light for him from the start:
