CLABKAMASCOrXTV UEMOCKATIC O Convention meets in this City, SATIJUI V -UM11L.25, At 11 o'e!oek ft. m. 0 The Hadical Ticket. The Radical .Convention met at Salem, last Wednesday, at 1 o'clock, and ratified the ticket which had been previously nominated by the Federal ofneo holders. The ticket could not have been made any weaker, and i;ot a man on it will be elected. We have not time to com ment on the platform this week. For Congress, Dick Williams, a lawyer of Portland, was put up for slaughter, lie is a young man of fine abilities, will say all he knows on the canvass, and when the election is over will return to Portland to think over the ingratitude of the American people. The nomination of J. C. Tolmr.n, of Jackson county, for Governor, is rather ludicrous than otherwise. lie is a good old man, has been a one horse politician all his life, but never came to the surface until now. lie is in nowise qualified for the position and cannot write a message to save his life. We will use the closing opinion of the Orvjonim of this nomination, which is as follows: "As few itrsous outside of Jackson county have ever heard of J". C Tol man, or ever will hear of him again after the election, we take this oc casion to say that lie has been an active politician, in a small way, for a long time, and would make a ri-Vionably good County Commision er, so far as education and intelli gence are concerned, but is no more lit for Governor than Joe Meek is tit for Minister to the Court of St. James. Grover's twenty-three years' 'struggle" against' the litigant law is a mere bagatelle compared to the .struggle Tolnmn would have, if -elected, to write an intelligible message to the Legislature. Exit Grover, enter Tolman! No, thank 3'ou ; excuse us." C. M. Foster, .an obscure individu al from Baker county, received the nomination for Secretary of State. Of course, he nor his friends have no idea of electing him, and he will T,be as good a subject for slaughter as anjf other tian. j Dave G. Clark, of Corvallis, is tho nominee for State Treasurer. He is a line man, and well liked by ail who know him, buti his connection with the ring will let him out. lie is brother-in-law to Mr. Congle, and Congle is the father-in-law of Dick Williams. A little family arrange ment it appears. Dave has always been a Radical, and has been i of prominance enough to get even a nomination for constable even in his own county. He will be done Brown on tho first Monday in June, and realize the fact that he is not wanted ist nuuiiiu uiu . o.aio iimus in the i interest of the Custom House Clique, j L. -aAI. Wane, the nominee for State Printer, is a Job printer at Salem, has no 'politics unless thev pay, never has had, and we see ho reason why those printers who have worked for tho Radical party should be set aside for him. But as he will not be elected, it makes but little difference who is nominated. For District Judge, the Conven tion gave us W. C. Johnson, of Oregon City. . If ve had not re ceived this information from olueial source, we should have been under the impression that it was an attempt to perpetrate a ?ell on us. Byt this is an actual fact, and while we feel flattered that the convention has thus thrift this honor on Oregon City, we feel also equally satisfied that his de feat iu the county will assure the people that they don't want to have such honors forced upon them. The Ore'joniaa gives Mr. Johnson this notice, and we will stop this time by quoting it: "At last Hon. W. Carey Johnson has got a nomination for Judge of tho Fourth Judicial Dis trict. " We give him joy on the occa- Bioa for which h? has solong prayed, Carey is not e great lawyer. We prsnm tlmt no friend of hi will !

"We question, in fact, whether he is much more of a man in respect of legal learning anil ability, than the present incumbent,' but we expect him to make a better Judge, all things considered. But what is the useof speculating on the subject of his qualifications for an office which he will never be called upon to fill. Let us indulge the pleasant fancy that he would prore a very Marshall, since wu can do so without the slightest danger of having our fancies put to the test of reality. The convention could have selected a worse man or a better for Judge, but it could hardly have found a weaker candidate." J. C. Moreland, of Portland, is the candidate for Prosecuting At torney. We will give him due notice next week. Take the ticket from head to foot, and it does not present any elements of strength whatever, and will be de feated beyond a question of doubt. The thing was cut and dried before the convention met, and all the dele gates did was to ratify the wish of the lling. From Kenton County. We learn from Corvallis that tho Independent movement is not as complete a success as was hoped it would be by the managers. The Democrats don't go into the move ment very readily under the lead of Mr. Avery, and then to be presided over by that ancient relic of Radi calism, B. II. Diddle. They can't stand that kind of a mixture. We are informed that most of these Democrats who took part in the In dependent move in that county will vote the Democratic State ticket. Our letter states, "It is a remarkable fact that all the old wire-pullers of both parties a rein the new party." It also states that the Radicals are dissatisfied with their ticket, es pecially with Gingles for Sheriff, in troducer of the thieving fee bill in the last Legislature, and Bash Wil son for Clerk, the author of the bill. It was thought for awhile that the Democrats would have no show in the county, but since the nominations of the Radicals the jirospects of the forthcoming Independent ticket, Democrats are iu good hope, and think that they will carry the county beyond a doub Our informant says : "The Democrats are now rid of the men who have al ways been a curse to them, and the true men of the party will be put forth." It is understood that Mr. Burnett will withdraw his name as an independent candidate for Circuit Judge, and accept the nomination for Judge of Benton county. The nomination of Judge Mosher and Mr Fitch meets with genenal approval, and both Democrats and Republican, will vole for tht m. y They will un doubtedly be elected. It is said that the publisher of the Dj:no;rit was busy all day last Saturday in stop ping papers, as the Democrats refuse to be led by Avery into the Inde pendent wigwam, and if he does not gratify his spite against Governor Grover, won hi lead them into the Radical or any other camp. We kn ow that the Democrats of Benton are made of true stuff, and personal prejudice) will not control their votes. Disaffection. The Ralieal ticket placed in nomination in this county is creating general dissatisfaction, and it is belioved by those who are acquainted with the sentiment of the people, that an independent ticket would get more Republican support than the ticket now in the field. The members for the Legislature seem to be particularly obnoxious, as two of the fonr are nothing but carpet-baggers, and the other two so unfavorably known that the Repub licans are actually ashamed of the ticket. The overwhelming defeat of Peter Paquet two years ago, is also regarded by tho masses as an indiea- ! tou w,at will become of him this j time. The attempt at sandwiching m M'b'hell-Hippel supporters with t anti-Mitehellites, has not had the desired effect of harmonizing the party. If the Democrats nominate a good ticket, composed of men who are identified with the prosperity of the county, and who are know for their political and moral integrity, there can be no doubt as to the re sult on the first Monday in June. District Convention. The Peo ples' District Convention meets at Portland to-morrow for tho purpose of placing in nomination a district ticket. This movement is in no wav connected with the State Independ ents; and we trust that every conntv in the District will send delegates to it. Ike oilices of Judge and Pros ecuting Attorney are not political m fact, they should be independent of party iniiuences, and if this con vention will nominate satisfactory men, men known for t eir honesty and ability, there is no reason why they will not receive the support of the entire independent and free vote of the district. We hope that this county will send delegates to the Convention to be held to-morrow, ana that good men will ,, before the people. placed Rev. L. L.

SAwavApril 8th, 1874., Editor Entetfrisk, Dear Sir: Salem has been on the alert for several days past, in expectation of the arrival, of many office seekers, office holders and place hunters, who compose the Radical State Conven tion, for the purpose of ratifying the nominees made by the Hippie part of the Republican party, several weeks ag-o. All the shining lights of that element, those who carried the fa mous Hippie endorsement resolution through the Albany convention last fall are here in all their power and might, prepared for any emergency that looks to the building up of the Hippie portion of tho Radical party. Custom House officers and attachees, Postmasters, Surveror General, Sur veying contractors and Chain-carri-ers composed the greater part of the convention, and are here to faithfully serve their masters. The Convention organized at one o'clock P. M.,. to-day, by electing John McCraeken of Portland, as tem porary Chairman, and Win. M. Tur ner of Jackson county, as tempoary Secretary. A Committee on Credentials was then appointed, consisting of L. T. Barin, of Surveying Contract notori ety, Win. M. Turner, also a U. S. Deputy Surveyor, W. H. Odell, ex Surveyor General and "Scrap-book" reader, S. J. McCormiek and W. P. Lord; end the Convention took a re cess for one hour, in order that the committee might have time to make a report, which, on re-assembling of the Convention, v;ts adopted with minor amendments, increasing the representation of certain counties. The temporary officers of the Convention-, ere then elected as the per manent officers, and W. J. Snodgrass was chosen as Assistant Secretary. A committee of one from each county was appointed to draft a platform: Benton, Jas. Chambers, Baker, A. M. Alfred, Clackamas, L. T. Barin, Coos and Curry, J. F. Walton, Douglas, W. W. Skinner, Grant, Neal, Jack son, J. M. McCall, Josephine, II. Kelly, Lane, A. S. Patterson, Linn, J. M. Shelley, Polk, Jess A. Apple gate, Marion, W. P. Lord, Multno mah, C. A. Dolph, Umatilla, J. C. Disoway, Union, W. J. Snodgrass, Wasco, , Washington, Thomas H. Tongue, Clatsop, J. W. Case, Col umbia, West, Tillamook, N. B. Humphery, Yamhill, . The Con vention adjourned until 7 o'clock this evening, when the committee on platform reported the following reso lutions, which, on motion, were adopted: For want of space we are compelled to omit the platform until next week. Ed.J Nominations being in order, Rich ard Williams, of Portland, was no minated for Congress, b v acclamation, and on being culled for, came for ward and accepted the nomination, and will be chief pall bearer at the funeral of the Republican party on the night of tie first Monday in J une. Thomas Jeiieraon Vaughn, another member who has been sucking gov ernment pap in the handling of "rich surveying contracts, then placed in nomination for Governor, J. C. Tol man, an obscure individual of Jack son county, who is acknowledged bv all to lie totally unfit for the position, which, I am happy to say, he will not have the privilege to disgrace during the next lour years. He is no talker and cannot write a message. C. M. Foster, of Baker county, was nominated for Secretary of State, just for form, as I do not think he expects himself to be elected. J). G. Clark, of Corvallis, is con sidered a weak nomination for State Treasurer and he will not have trou ble to hunt up bondsmen, for they will not bo needed this time. Mr. R. Jacobs was also a candidate for this position and received on 1st bal lot do votes and then withdrew. He thought that his Chinamen would be too heavy a load for him to carry through successfully. J. G. Wright of this city received for this position on 1st ballot 37, 2nd 4", .'5d oG votes, OG being necessary to a choice. Mr. Clark was nominated on the ol bal lot receiving GO votes. 11. M. Wait received SO votes. A. G. Walling IS, W. B. Carter, 18. Morgan Pi; for State Printer, and Wait having received a majority of all the votes cast was duly declar ed the nominee.

These nominees strike mo as being very weak and that the opposition to them only need go to work with a will to defeat them by a large major ity. 5th. J. C. Cartwright for District Attorney. Joint Senator, Benton and Polk, A. M. Withani. Clatsop, Tillamook and Columbia, S. H. Smith. Tho following persons were select ed a State Central Committee with L. S.

COURTESY CF BAIJCROFT LIBRARY UNIVERSITY CF CALIFORNIA, passed at the last session of the Leg islature did not change the organi zation, or pay, or reduction of the police force but simply placed the appointment of the 'three police commissioners in the hands of Ben Halladav's council instead of leaving the appointing power where it was. ' Mr. Caples knew he was uttering a charge above referred to. The convention at 10 -o'clock P. it. adjourned. Yours truly, A Looker on. lion. CJeo. A. L.a Dow. We take the following from the Eastern Oregon Tribune, published at Pendleton, the home of the Dem ocratic candidate for Congress : Br a telegraphic dispatch received last Friday morning, in this place, from Umatilla Landing, tho citizens of Pendleton learned that Col. La Dow, our fellow townsman, had been nominated for Congress by the Dem ocratic State Convention then in ses sion at Albany. Sundry of" our citizens gave vent to their hilarious feelings by burning considerable powder on the banks of the Umatilla River. Col. La Dow was born in Cayuga county, New York, March IS, 1S2G, he is, consequently, forty-eight years of ago. In 18oJ Ids father emigrat ed to Chicago, Illinois ; and in 1811 Col. LaDow commenced the study of law, first with S. S. Jones, of St. Charles, Illinois, and subsequently with Col. Strode, of Woodstock, 111. In IS.jO he was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of I bnois. In the same year he moved to Wis consin, and was subsequently elected District Attorney for Waupaca coun ty. In lSGo he moved to Waseca county, Minnesota ; and in 18G7-S he was elected a member of the house of Representatives of the State Legislature, overcoming a Re publican majority of about live hun dred and being pitted against a strong and popular candidate of the Republican party. In 1SG'.) he mov ed to Umatilla county, Oregon, and in 1S72 represented, this county iu lower house of the Legislature : and even strong Republicans admit he was a very efficient member, hat Hid accomplished much for Umatilla county. Col. La Dow, if elected, will make an active and efficient Representative. He is possessed of unbending integ rity, and hence cannot be bought up by designing and corrupt men. He is a kind neighbor, and is universal ly respected and beloved iu this com munity. His private character is above reproach. As a speaker he is not considered brilliant and liowery; but he makes his points distinctly and clearly and sustains them by facts and cogent reasoning based -on them which is far better. He is inclined to be a'little lazy ; but, like all men of his build, is possessed of great powers of endurance, 'and when lie once becomes really wanned up he is a very formidable antagonist on the hustings. We predict that every county in Eastern Oregon will give him a good rousing majority. loiter lroni I. ina County. m Lebanon, April G, IS74. Editoi: F.Nn.nrni.si: : I presume you will not consider it an intrusion on my part to give yon a f -w lines fr m this section of our Si; as the people generally will be please hear from Old Linn and what 1 to tho Democrats think of tho ticket. As far as I am aware, and I have been traveling over the county consider ably since tho nominations were made at Albany. The ticket and platform meets with universal satis faction, and will receive the full Democratic vote of the party. Gov ernor Grover spoke at Scio, Harris burg, Brownsville anil this place, and at each of these places he had largo audiences and the greatest in terest was manifested. In Scio the attendance was large, and his remarks w ere of such a practical and sound character that lie made the Demo crats feel proud of him as their Ex cutive and many whom had hereto fore leaned towards "Independents," were ready to give up the delusion which had been in their min is. I also heard him at this place, and I can assure you that Old Linn will come up with her usual majority of three to four hundred on the first Mond ay in June for the entire Dem ocratic ticket. The dodge our Radical friends are trying to play to get into office on the Independent move will not win in this county. Democrats know that it is the old wolf with only an other name and they will not touch the deceptive animal." The nomination of Mart Brown for State Printer, on the State ticket, is endorsed by Old Linu. He has made us a good paper, worked for the interests of the farmers and labor ing people, and we propose to show our appreciation of his services by giving him a rousing vote. A Democratic Yotek.

Nesmith made a strong argument this morn ing before the House Committee on Railways and Canals upon the bill introduced by him to aid in the con struction of the Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake Railroad. The Committee agreed to a favorable report. The bill provides that the Government shall guarantee the interest on the bonds of the Company to the amount of 810,000 per mile, in Ore gon, for which the Company is to transport all the United State mails, army supplies, etc., free cf charge forever. Washington, y April G. Senator Mitchell made his tinal argument be fore the Senate Committee on R iil roads this mornintr in favor of Ids . bil in aid of the Portland, DalW unci ouib oHive ,ivaiiroau. jvery in dication points to a favorable report at an early day. The committee will conclude its consideration at a meet ing next Monday. Senator Mitchell presented a me morial signed by 1,1G3 citizens of the State of Oregon and Territories r.f j not resigned, and did not intend to. Washington, April f. Efforts ara being made for a combination in tho Senate to defeat the inflationists, it is uncertain, therefore, that tho scheme will succeed for increasing the legal teadcr aud bank circulation ouch by four millions, unless ao compauied by some plan looking toward a gradual contraction. Pacific Coast people here attribute "Senator Mitchell's uniform voting with the inflationists to a desiro to conciliate Morton, 'Chair man of the Committee on ElectioSH,, in whose hands rest the' memorials relative to Mitchell's case. Chicago, April 8. Washington dispatches say the bill of the Mili tary Committee reducing the army was in regular order to-day, bu w"a crowded out of place by the Curren cy Bill. Members of the committee are of opinion that the House will pass a bill more sweeping in its re ductions. The pending bill gives to heads of various Staff Departments the rank and pay of Brigader Gen erals. It is thought that the rank j llKi pay of these officers will finally j ,0 i'iKC, ;Xs Colonels. In many other i respects the rank of staff officer j wjn jje somewhat reduced. The farmers in the southern por tion of Benton county- are nearly til rough seeding. An unprecedented acreage has been iown to cereals this Spring, and the prospects for an abundant yield were never better, at this season of the.vear.
