In these columns appear the biographies
0! nuvnerons candidates for honors on
the republican ticket, state, congressional
andlooal. It was the intention ot the
Gazette to represent in this every
worthy aspirant for honors at the bands
of onr people on the republican ticket
but lack of time prevents the consum
mation of our wish. However, we have
succeeded in reaching a goodly number,
majority, thus establishing his popular
ity with Mb constituents and his special
fitness for the office he had so aoceptabl y
ailed. It was Mr. tills' strong friend
ship for HennHon, his present colleague
in congress, that induced him to refine
the use ot his name for the congressional
nomination fouryears ago, when Oregon
had but one representative. During the
short time Mr. Ellis has served in oon
gress he has worked diligently and faith
fully for the interests and well are ot his
constituents. As a result of his labors
he has succeeded in having passed a
number of measures of vast importance
to the people of Oregoj in general, and
to the people of the second congressional
district in particular. He hos long
been regarded as one of the Btrnngrat
men before the people in the state, and
his re-election this year is conceded by
all practical men in Oregon politios.
The above biographical mention,

this, and even more, is deserving from

If there ever was a time in the history
of our oountry when protectionists
should support the republican ticket in
its entirety, when there should be a
spontaneous outpouring against farther
invasions on the very life and vitality of
our country, it is now. Promises have
been made and the threatening clans are

first above all, we surrender that much
to the opposition, whioh will be used to
tear down the noble work of bringing
the oountry back to where it left off in
1892. It is a poor time to leave the
party ranks. Rather, it is an opportune
time tj join. The machinery of politios,
if in the right direction, should not be
entrusted to hands dangerous to the
demands of Right aud Justice. The
republican party is pre-eminently a
party of the people, and the grand era
of prosperity from the sixties to 1892 is
proof enough that it is worthy of the
people's confidence. As snob it is no
me for republicans to vote for popu-
ists or democrats.
In the following sketches, we take
pleasure in presenting the names of
some worthy republicans, rich in the
oonfidenoe of the party aud well worthy
the highest consideration at the hands
of pur voters.

construction of defenses at Tampico, in
1846-47: siege operations at Vera Cruz,
Cerro Gordo, Chapultapec aud City of
Mexico, where he was twice wounded.
Shortly after he was brevettcd major.
He attained full rank of captain of en
gineers in 1853 for fourteen years 01
continuous service as lieutenant. On
returninir to the United States he was
assigned to engineering in the construc
tion and repairs of fortifications on the
Mississippi river and in the construc
tion of the custom house at New Or
leans. His suporvisory duties extended
over the gulf coast from Florida to the
Rio Grande. He ottered his services to
the southern confederacy in 1801.
On the refusal of Maj. Robert Ander
son to evacuate Fort Sumter he opened
fire soon after daylight ou April 13,
1801. He was practically in command
at the battle of Hull Run, where he was
again victorious. He nearly succeeded
iu routing the northern army at the
battle of Shiloh, and held Petersburg
against the federal advance and defeat
ed Butler at Drury's Bluff. He surren
dered his army to Sherman in April,

the state and manager of the Louisiana

is eighty-four years old, and a man who
received the compliment ho did last

and straightway suspended business.
Chauncey M. Depew made a speech in
his honor, and the "Ancient manner

in June, 1809, in Culpeper county, Va.
Both his grandfathers fought in the
war for independence, nis stepmother
was Mildred Ball, a great-niece of
George Washington. In 1881 young
Thompson went to Indiana, taught
school, was clerk in a dry goods store,
studied law and was admitted to the
bar in 18K4. That year he was elected
to the Indiana house of representatives.
He was reelected in 1830, and at the next
election became state senator. In 1840
he was one of Harrison's electors, and the
reputation he gained'on the stump in tho
stormy campaign of "Tippecanoe and
Tyler, too," resulted in his election td
congress in 1841. He held his own in
congress, and it was a day of big men,
too. He declined renomination, and in
1843 took up residence in Terre Haute
and began the practice of law. In 1847
he was again elected to congress by the
whigs over John A. Wright, afterwards
governor of Indiana. In 1849 President
