We learn t but thero is in circula
tion a written statement which
charges one of the Radical candidates
with having proposed to purchase
his nomination. "We have not seen
this document, but we presume none
will deny that such a paper is in
existence. It is a serious charge,
but the accusation comes from lie
publicans against their own party
friends, and consequently Democrats
are not responsible for it and have
no right to question its truth. If
this individual, who is thus charged
with securing his nomination, is
guilty, is it not fair to presume that
the persons who are put on the ticket
for the paying offices were put on
through fraud and bribery? The
whole thing was made up by a thor
ough combination, and each and
every candidate, whether he had a
hand in it or not, is linked in with
this bargain and oSalo. They could
not have secured their nomination
in tiny-other way. We ask the hon
est and free voters of this countv
w hether they are prepared to endorse
this piece of bribery which is being
exposed, not by party opponents,
b-ut by members of the llepublican
party themselves? A vote for the
King ticket is an endorsement of this
outrage on the rights of the people,
and the man who votes the lladical
ticket ou Monday next, votes to en
dorse corruption, bribery and dis
honesty, as much so as the man who
would go into convention and take
the Slu or ottered for his vote.
l!et the people of Clackamas eounty
rebuke all such high-handed attempts
to purchase their .cvereign rights.
Lei not men who have monov show-
to the world that they can buy their
nomination and then force the people
to surujtion tao purcha.se at the polls.
An Infamous Falsehood. We
hear it stated that a report is being
circulated to the effect that Mr.
Oflield will m itLdraw from the con
test and that the Democrats propose
to support Mr. Starkweather. This
lie is on a par with many others be
ing circulated by the Radicals. Mr.
Otiield will not withdraw, and if the
Democrats cf Clackamas county are
true to themselves and their county,
Mr. Oiiield will be elected by a hand
some majority. Let Democrats be
on their gmwa against Radical false
hoods, 'iney it-el that they must
resort to desperate meaus to succeed;
and will not hesitate to lie.
If the people of Clackamas county
desire to be represented in the next
Legislature by men who aro identi
fied with their interests, and who
will not belong to any corporation
or clique, let them cast their .votes
for the Democratic ticket. They are
air old settle rs tind farmers, and the
interest of .the people of this county
is their interest.
To the Democratic Voters.
Next Monday the voters of Oregon
will be called upon to decide who
shall senve them in the various offi
ces of the State and counties. At no
time since the organization of our
State has the contest of parties been
more bitter and filled with more per
sonal abuse. This has been particu
larly so with the Ring, or Hippie
Mitchell party"" of this State. We
have too much regard for the intelli
gence of the voters of Oregon to be
lieve that such a policy will be en
dorsed by them next Monday, or
that their abuse has had any influ
ence to actuate voters in their decis
ion. Wo desire to speak a few words
with Democrats and those who are
in earnest in their desire for econom
ical and honest State and county
administrations, and then submit our
cause for their decision.
The Albany Convention placed in
nomination a State ticket composed
of Democrats whose integrity cannot
be successfully questioned. Men of
unimpeachable character and men
of experience in the various offices'
which they have been called upon by
the party to till. The candidate for
Governor on this ticket has been
charged with every crime that a vile
partisan press could invent, and these
have all been proved false. Not a
single accusation can the opposition j
make successfully against the Shite
administration, nor have they. The
affairs of our State, under Radical
rule, were most shamefully conduct
ed, and when the present administra
tion went into power, we found our
State bankrupt, and thousands of
dollars of the people's money had
been stolen. Not a public building
had been erected; the hinds belong
ing to the State had been squander
ed, and had the Radicals succeeded
four years ago, not a foot of all the
valuable donations of the Govern
ment would have been secured. Now
matters are different. Every depart
ment of our State Government is in
complete working order. Not a sin
gle charge of corruption can be es
tablished by our opponents, and the
Democracy has pledged itself in the
future to administer the affairs of
State for the benefit of the masses as
it has in the past. The only trite
reason why so much abuse and cal
umny has been heaped upon Gov.
Grover is, that he has opposed the
ring which has attempted to rule the
State, and had he been willing to
become its tool, they would not to
day oppose his re-election. But he
has been honest and faithful to the
trust conferred upon him by the peo
ple, and should he bo re-elected, it
will le but a just tribute from the
people he has so long and faithfully
served. S. F. Chudwiek. the candi
date for re-election for Secretary of
State, has made an honest, faithful
and correct officer, and wo have no
doubt but what he will be re-elected
by a large majority. Roth these se
lections were the choice, almost
unanimously, of tho Conven
tion which selected them. The re
mainder of the State ticket is equally
unobjectionable, and no Democrat
can refuse to vote tho entire ticket.
It is true that each individual may
not have secured his personal choice.
Yet we owe a duty to our party which
should make us look beyond that of
personal likes and dislikes, and after
the party has spoken in Convention,
we should, unless we know that unfit
or dishonest persons have been se
lected, suppoit tho ticket fairly nom
inated. It is not a fight against men,
but one for Democratic principles,
we should discard all personal feel
ings in the premises. The Radicals
have no principles but the cohesive
ness of plunder, and hence their
cse is different. Democrats who
are such from principle cannot, when
victory is within reach, now
forsake the ship they helped to
sail during the many dark days of
defeat and disaster. We urge upon
every Democrat to go to the polls on
next Monday, and discharge the duty
he owes to his Stale and countv, and
if they but to this, a glorious victory
will bo their reward. The principles
of the Democracy, notwithstanding
our Radical friends tell us they no
longer exist, . re still the issues of
the people, and will be until w e shall
control the nation once more, and
bring it back to the better days of
our great Republic. Democrats, do
your duty, aud vote the straight
ticket.
Cor.. W. L. White. This gentle
man received the nomination for the
office of County Judge on the Dem
ocratic ticket. lie is eminently
qualified for the position, has shown
himself to be so during the past six
months. No man has ever held that
office in our county who has given
better satisfaction, tmd none question
his integrity or ability. He is wor
thy of the support of every Democrat,
and we hope that he will receive the
eutire vote of the Democracy. Even
his worst enemies give him the credit
of being a good man for the position,
and in every way qualified.
Should not be ScrroRTED. Mr.
W. Moreland, the Independent can
didate for County Judge, is not de
serving any Democratic votes. He
took his chauces against the nominee
of the party before the Convention
and was defeated. Good faith should
have induced him to support his suc
cessful opponent.
Another Lie Xalled.
The Radical press has charged
Governor Grover with having im
properly used $14,000 of the 'funds
belonging to the Willamette Woolen
Manufacturing Company. This lie
has effectually been put to rest by a
statement authorized to be published
by Gen. John F. Miller, the Presi
dent of the Company, who says -that
on the first day of January, 1872,
Governor Grover settled with the
Company and paid them every dollar
he was owing them, and that the
books of the Company show such
settlement at that date, and that the
same are open to inspection to . any
party who may desire information on
that subject.
Mr. Lush, of the banking house of
Ladd & Bush, through which firm
much business of the Company is
done, also concurs with the above
denial, and authorizes his name to
be used to the same. In regard to
the statement that Uncle Dan Waldo
was authority for this malicious
falsehood, the Mercury says " that it
is a willful and malicious lie. Uncle
Daa Waldo never told Gov. Grover
'to his face that he had stolen 814,
000,' or any other sum from the
Salem Woolen Factory Company,
nor would he dare to tell him so.
None other thau the most friendly
feeling exits between Uncle Dan
Waldo and Gov. Grover to-day. Not
one dollar has Gov. Grover ever
drawn from that Company, for his
own use, that was not drawn through
the Secretary and Treasury, and
charged to Gov. G rover's individual
account." We trust that these facts
are sufficient to refute the falsehoods
of the Radical press.
We also append a card from Mr.
D. II. Murphy, former Secretary of
the Company:
" The business affairs of the Wool
en Company under Mr. G rover's
agency were in every respect, to my
knowledge honorably conducted,
and every item cf Grover's personal
expenditure made in Salem, Tort
laud and San Francisco was charged
up to his account on the books of
tho Company. During my employ
ment with said company each stock
holder and Director had an open
account kept on the books and each
was charged with every cent of mer
chandise or money that was drawn
by them. 1). II. MruniY.
Also Mr. Walter Jackson who has
since been the Secretary of the com
pany, and was in the employ of the
company under Mr. Murphy during
the time of Grover's agency, says
that the foregoing statements are
correct.
One of their Charges.
We are informed that the Radical
candidates charge Mr. Beatie for
I receiving more fees -than the law al
lows while ho was acting as Deputy
Sheriff. This charge is false. Mr.
Beatie received no more than the law
allowed him, and no more than was
received by the Sheriff of this county
when the Radicals were in power.
It is claimed that when a Sheriff
serves a writ "of arrest issued by a
Justice nf the Peace, that the Sheriff
is only entitled to the fees of a con
stable. The statutes provide what
the Sheriff shall receive for such ser
vice, and when the law points out
his fees ns Sheriff, he is by no means
to be governed by the fees of a con
stable. Where the law does not
lix his fees as Sheriff, then the law
provides that he shall receive the
same fees as a constable. Mr. Boa
tie's integrity is too well known in
this community for any person to
believe that he would take a cent
that the law did not allow him for
his services.
The Swamp I. ami (J,ucslhu.
The Radical press appears to have
much to say in regard to swamp
lauds. The trouble with those Rad
ical organs is, they aro in with the
Railroad Company, and hence they
are down on Gov. Grover for having
secured these lands to the people of
Oregon. His predecessor neglected
to select these lands, and had not
the present State administration
dono so, the rig..ts of the State
would have been forfeited and the
Railroad company would have secur
ed the vast amount of land to which
the State is justly entitled. This is
their main reason for censure upon
the Democracy. After tho Demo
cratic Legislature secured them to
the State, the last Radical Legisla
ture divided tho proceeds up among
its party friends in road jobs. And
now they growl at the Democracy
for doing their duty in this matter.
Voters Hemcniber
That by voting tho Radical ticket
of this county you vote to re-instate
the old Court House clique which
formerly controlled this county,
headed by James M. Frazer and W.
P." Burns, the former as Clerk and
the latter as County Treasurer. Do
you want these old political trick
6ters to again rule your county? If
not, vote the entire Democratic tick-
! et, which is composed of new men,
farmers and laborers, and not of per
sons who are aud have- been hanging
around to get office. Vote the
straight ticket. Every man on it is
fully identified with the interests of
! our county, and they are all honest,
capable and true men. Let us
achieve a victory for tho people, and
j not for the Radical politicians who
I havo not energy or industry enough
to earn a living without office..
tetter from Eagle Creek.
Eagle Creek, May 25, 1874.
EditorEn-teiifrise: We presume
that a few lines from this section of
the county would not be altogether
obnoxious and wearysome to your
readers. Though we ' live- in the
back ground, still we are advocates
of knowledge and understanding;
and hold in high reverence the prin
ciples that underlie our American
Republic. It is seldom that we are
permitted to enjoy the presence of
the political men of our county,
which enjoyment is only experienced
just before an election in which they
themselves are concerned. Yes! we
have again been visited by Peter, the
great champion of the Republican
party of this county. He comes
forth as he previously did, with one
exception, and that is, he has had
the benefit of Tolman's speech, which
has proved of great service to him,
pleading the cause of the Grant ad
ministration, and condemning that
of Grover in loud, and as he consid
ers, forcible language; giving in
structions toliis political tools, warn
ing them of the great importance of
their being faithful that he may pro
cure his election to the State Senate.
If a person should stop up his ears
and sit in the audience while Peter
was speaking and watch his move
ments, together with the smiling
faces of his few worshipers, he would
naturally suppose that he (Peter)
was one of America's ablest states
men; but just let him remove them,
and it would disgust him in a mo
ment. .
Our Democratic speakers are doing
well their work, explaining explicit
ly the manner in which our county
finances have been conducted, to
gether with tho great wisdom that
has been exercised during the Grover
administration in constructing suit
able State buildings and encouraging
other improvements to promote the
honor aud dignity of our country.
The Democracy of this, part of the
county are alive to their interests,
aud are. too high minded to be led
oil' by the Independent wolf clothed
in lambskin seeking whom he may
devour; and we aro determined that
they shall die in the shell; for the
veil that separates them from other
organizations is not sufficient to hide
their rotten design, and they, togeth
er M-ith their Republican colleagues,
will be hurled into everlasting defeat
on the day of election. It is unnec
essary for any sane man to hesitate
for a moment in reflecting upon the
political move that has lately sprung
up in our State. There may possi
bly he soma that sincerely desire
reform, but we can only judge
this by those that lead it; and. when
we are made acquainted with their
past record, wo readily see that they
aro all old political lobbyists, and as
they failed to procure nominations
within tho ranks of their party bolt
ed their ticket and created an Inde
pendent party, on whose back they
hope to ride into power, or procure
the defeat of the Democracy. Bat
the people of this county and State
are organized against them, and will
give G rover, together with the entire
Democratic State ticket, a rousing
majority. We were highly pleased
with tho proceedings of our County
Convention that placed in nomina
tion Frank W. Foster, of our pre
cinct, for the Clerkship. He will
carry the full force of the party, and
also many Republican votes. And
on next Monday we will elect the
entire Democratic ticket to run our
Governmental affairs for the next
term. Yours, &c. A Voter.
Look Out foi: Them. We would
caution Democrats through
out the State against Radical lies
and roorbacks w hich will be started
on the day of election for political
effect. Already' we hear that-a num
ber of lies are in circulation, and
they will probably be put forth on
election day. The people should
remember the falsehood published
two years ago to the effect that Gov."
Grover had, on election day, par
doned twelve of the most desperate
convicts out of the penitentiary in
order to secure their votes and ser- i
vices at the polls. There will, in all
probability, be similar lies circulat
ed for political effect on the day of
election, and wo caution Democrats
to be on the lookout. There is noth
ing too low and contemptible for
Radicals to resort to in order to se
cure their success. Bo on the alert,
Democrats.
Wile Supfort Htm. The anti
Hippie voters of this county will
pretty generally vote for tho Inde
pendent candidate for County Clerk,
Mr. S. L. Stevens, aud many of the
Regulars will also give him their
votes, knowing him to bo fully com
petent to fill the position. Demo
crats can support their own nominee
as ho is fully qualified and will dis
charge the duties of the office to the
best interests of the county and with
credit to himself. Because he is a
farmer is no reason why ho is not
qualified, as some of our Radicals
friends intimate. Farmers should
rebuke this insult by voting for
Frank W. Foster, and thus show
these political demagogues that they
have among them men as well fitted
to sit in the Court House as those
who hang arouud waiting for an
office to come to them.
Look to Y'oub Tickets. We
would call the attention of Demo
crats in this county to the fact that
Radicals are unscrupulous enough
to forg- tickets, or make use of
" pasters." Look at every ticket
before you vote, and see that none
but Democrats aro upon it. Let
Democrats bo cautious and work for
the success of the entire ticket.
Judge Shattuck.
It is scarcely worth our time and
space to urge the people of- this
county to vote for Judge Shattuck,
the nominee of the People's, Demo
cratic and Independent Conventions
of this District. We feel satisfied
that all realize the importance of
having an honest, able and upright
man ou the bench, one who is not
so strong in his partisan feelings that
he cannot do justice to his political
opponents. That Mr. Johnson, while
he is by far the inferior of judge
Shattuck in legal ability, which cer
tainly his most ardent admirers will
not deny, is so strongly prejudiced
in his peculiar views that he could
not, if he desired,, do justice to a po
litical opponent, is well known to
our readers. Judge Shattuck is a
man free from partisan prejudices, a
man of eminent ability, and has an
experience of past services in that
capacity which the people certainly
require on the bench. He is the
peer of any attorney in our State,
and if elected will be an honor to the
position for which the people of this
district have selected him. This is
not a partisan office, and the people
should select the man who is best
qualified and ic whose integrity as a
Judge they can place the most im
plicit confidence. When a Judge
is once elected, he should be a man
who can discard all personal feeling,
and serve all alike. This Judge
Shattuck has shown himself in the
past to be able to do; .this Mr. John
son's prejudices and feelings will not
permit Lim to do. We, therefore,
urge upon the people to vote for
Judge Slwv.tuck and thus secure the
services of a pure man, an honest
judge and an able lawyer.
An lymphatic Denial.
The Radical japers of this State
have frequently charged Mr. M. V.
Brown of being a Union Leaguer
and with hurrahing at the hanging
of Mrs. Surratt. This they say he ' isfaction of the people. Mr. Lew
did and was in Iowa. The following j ellen, the nominee for Assessor, is a
letter will put a stop, we trust, to j young man with good sound judg
the repetition of this story: -- j ment, liberal education and a farmer

How lw This lor an Indorsement.
The Radicals claim that they arc
terribly opposed to the lock purchase.
Ben. Simpson introduced the first
bill in the legislature. He has since
been appointed Surveyor-General of
Oregon by Mr. Mitchell. They say
that they are in favor of the. repeal
of the fee bill. Bush Wilson, of
Be r. ton county, is its author; James
Gingles, of the same county, intro
duced it info the legislature. The j
former is the regular nominee for j
Clerk of that county, and the latter
for Sheriff. Sol. Ilirsch, Dave Pow
ell and John F. Caples, all voted for
the bill in the last legislature. Tho
two first named are now in nomination
for the Senate, and the latter for the
Lower House. Does that not look
like an endorsement of their past
official acts. We rather apprehend
that the voters will see through the
shallow pretences of the Radical par-
ty in their professions of opposition
to tne.se measures, ami the oniv wav
they can repudiate tho men is to vote
against the party.
The Itcpubiicans are itepoiisible.
The Radicals of Oregon tell the
people that they aro opposed to the
present school law, equalization act,
the increased fee bill, and other acts
passed by the last legislature. This
is a remarkable thing. Two years
ago next September, the Radical
party met in Salem as the State Legis
lature, and the Lower House of that
body contained fifteen Democrats and
thirty -four Republicans. Will the
Radicals tell us how it came that fif
teen Democrats were able to pass all
these obnoxious bili3 when the Low
er House was tw o-third Radical? The
Senate was a tie aud it was a good
thing for the peopie.or else the Rad
icals of the Lower House would have
passed other and greater jobs. Tho
facts are, the Radical party is respon
sible for all the evil legislation of the
last session, and the people should
hold it responsible. By voting the
Radical t cket, you endorse the above
named acts, and they will remain on
your statute books.
The County Candidates.
The Democracy have presented a
ticket to tho voters of this county
composed of men against whom the
vile tongue of slander has not even
hinted tho slightest charge deroga
tory of their integrity. The ticket
is headed by Mr. Jas. Wr. Offield, a
farmer, who stands high for integri
ty and is possessed with more than
ordinary ability. He will make a
good and honest Senator. The nom
inee for County Judge, Col. W. L
White, is an old citizen of this State
and county, and while the air is fill
ed with calumny, not one charge
against his integrity or ability for the
position has been made by his oppo
nents. Mr. C. F. Beatie, the candi
' date for Sheriff, is too well and
favorably known by our citizens to
need any eulogy from us. He is an
honest man and will discharge the
duties of his office to the entire satis
faction of the people. The Legisla
tive ticket is composed of men who
are well fitted for the position, and
men who are farmers and deeply in
interested in the welfare and pros
perity of our young ' State. They
are not in the interest of any clique
or corporation, and if elected, they
will go to the Legislature to work
for the people. Frank W. Foster,
the candidate for County Clerk, is a
young man raised in this county.
All his interests are here, and he is
thoroughly qualified for the position
for which he is nominated. lie will
make a good officer, and deserves the
support of every Democrat and far
mer in the county. Tho nominee
for County Treasurer is J. P. Ward,
druggist in this city. lie is an hon
est young man, and has not been a
chronic office hunter like his appo
neut. Mr. Gorham Bridges, the can
didate for Surveyor, is a practical
surveyor and deserves the votes of j
our citizens. He will discharge the
duties of the office to the entire sat-
Cason, the candidates for County
Commissioners, are old and highly
both being enterprising and prosper
ous farmers themselves. Dr. H.
Straight is the nominee for Coroner.
He is well fitted for the position and
is an old citizen of this comity. Mr.
W. W. Moreland, the nominee for
School Superintendent, has been
engaged in the Oregon City Semina
ry for the past two years as teacher.
He has had six years experience as a
teacher, and has given universal sat
isfaction, lie has been admitted to
practice as an attorney, and as soon
as his present engagement with the
city expires, he will retire and open
an office in this place to practice his
profession. He is a man of excel
lent character and will be a valuable
person for the position he is nomi
nated to fill. The school interests
will receive careful and punctual
attention should he be elected. The
ticket is a good one, and wo trust
that every man on it will receive a
hearty support from the voters. Let
us elect the whole ticket by a hand
some majority, and this will surely
be done if the Democrats do their
duty next Monday.
tYoTE Straight. We urge upon
Democrats to vote the entire ticket ;
don't scratch or swap votes. Our
Radical friends, no doubt, will be
anxious to trade, but as the Demo
crats have placed in the field good
and honest men, men worthy the
support of every voter in the county,
it is a duty they owe to the, party to
give the entire ticket their hearty
support. Radicals will not swap any
man they have the least hope of elect
ing, hence Democrats would be gain
ing nothing by even making a trade.
Let Democrats vote the straight
ticket and urfre as many of their
neighbors as possible to do likewise.
The monkey which is being used
by the Radicals of this place to do
their dirty work, and who has the
j audacity of claiming to bo an attor-
ney, at the last term of tho Circuit
Court, after having acted as prose
cuting attorney in the Indian cases,
proposed to defend them when they
came on trial, and assured them that
he was the "best lawyer in Oregon,
and that they would not get sent to
tho penitentiary if -they employed
him." Either the fellow is an ass or
ho wanted to steal the fees from the
poor Indians he thought knew no
better. He is just the chap to do the
indiscriminate lying for the clique
m this place.
The Democratic nominee for
County Clerk of this county is a
young man raised here, has good
qualifications for tho position for
which he has been nominated; and is
iu every way deserving the office.

your county, and not a professional
office-seeker.
If you want a good honest farmer
for the office, of Sheriff, vote for C.
F. Beatie, the Democratic nominee.
He is a man in evey respect qualified
for the position. Vote the entire
ticket.
The Barln l.iar.
The Barin Liar in hi, speech
Wednesday evening stated f
fifteen Democrats.voted for the iTv
bill and only eight Radical. That
a lie on its face. There were tott
eight votes east, Mr. Cranor.of Li
being absent, and it required twenT'
five votes to pass the bill. Th "
were but seventeen Democrats in
I Lower House and Mr. Cran
- u
or o
one of them, hence there conl.l r,
have been but sixteen hauPthey au
voted for it. But the facts are that
twelve Democrats and thirteen Iie
publicans voted for the bill arsi
three Democrats and twenty Uep
licans voted against it. In order to
refresh the Barin Liar's memory
append the vote on the bill.and trust
his small calibre will be soflicientlr
large to comprehend the facts in th"e
case. Democrats in italics, Repub
licans in- romans. The vote in House
on the passage of H. B. 77 common
ly kn won as the "Locks Bill," as
taken Oct. 17, 1S72, with the follow
ing result :
uiyt-s Messrs. Andreics, Tilaherj;, CollVr
Corwin, I'ooper. Crooks, Clone, onjrle Curc

iStcphrwtoit, Walker, Washburn, and Wt.itt,
It will be seen that Mr. J. B. Con
gle, father-in-law of Dick Williams
voted for the bill, and it is fair to
sppose that he did so through th
influence of kaid Dick who w as lob-
bying for its passage. The bill
was introduced by Bon. Simpson,
the Radical Surveyor-General of Ore
gon, who has received his appoint
ment since the adjournment of the
Legislature, and who was the mo,t
ardent supporter Mitchell had. II
was worth more than Barin, so he
got the head office, while Barin odIy
got a $5,000 surveying contract.
That is tho difference in tho price
of the commodity.
The Fee Kill.
The infamous fee bill which was
passed by the last Legislature re
ceived tho votes of thirty-two mem
bers of that body out of forty-eight.
Of these, there were eight Democrat
who voted for the bill and tweuty
four Republicans. This bill has co?t
the tax-payers of Oregon nearly as
much as the entire State expenses
an. Will the voters of Oregon en
dorse this act of the Radical party ?
We here give the official vote, and
it will be seen that J. B. Congle,
father-in-law of Dick Williams, liko
the lock bill, voted for the infamous
bill. The Democrats are in italics;
II. B. 00. To nmc-nd General L.i
concerning fees of officers, pjx.s.-ti
in the House October 15th, by fal
lowing vote:
Ae-. Messrs. Anlreirs, Bilcx,
Bnshey, Corwin, Collins, Coojht,

Bl'tkel', BHibank, Crawford, Crook,
Dart, Downing, Harrison, La lhr,

WaltloH, Willoit'jIJiy.
Thus it will be seen that the Rad
icals cast enough votes to pass the
f'o bill, oven if all the Democrats
had voted against it.
The Judge's extra compensation
was passed by the Radicals also, by
a vote of twenty-one Republicans
and nine Democrats voting for the
bill, and nine Republicans and four
Democrats voting against it. Tho
vote was as follows:
Aye.. Messrs. Amlrwrs, Bile,
Barin, Burbank, Collins, Crawford,
Corwin, Cooper, (Voir, Congle, Ca
ples, Curran, Darst, Grant, Hirscb,
Ilod'jkitut, Johnson, J.a Jioir, Mid

White, Mr. Speaker.
ycs. Messrs. Allen, BusLpj,
lilahely, Croo.s, Downing, Em.'!'.
Giliglcs, Harrison. Langell, Martin,
She.'lon, Walker, Willovglthy.
The Radicals had the pow er to de
feat all and every bill they now
claim to be opposing, but after the
election they will do just as they dM
two years ago, rob the people of
their hard earnings. A vote for the
Radical ticket will be a vote to en
dorse the last Legislature.
S. D. Pope, the present. RcpnWi
can nominee for School Superinten
dent, was one of the principal per
sons who were instrumental, two
years ago, in having the Republican
nominees for Clerk and Sheriff de
feated. Friends of Paquet and Iiaras
by how do yon like it? Do you
think you can vote for such a man
next Monday? Charges of an equally
grave character are prefermTby Re
publicans against the graduate of
"Queen's College" in regard hern
iate city election.
A correspondent to the Ortyo"
reiterates the lie that Hon- A- R
Brown voted for the purchase of the
Locks at this place. He was in tlio
Senate and no vote was had on tW
question. Mr. Brown did not rote
for their purchase. The opposition
,.,f n Ko themselves into offic
this election. The people are t
intelligent and too familiar with
too
a
truth to believe these scriuuicr
Jobeph A. Fields and A. J. Case
aro the Democratic nominees fo
Countv Commissioners. They r
both old settlers of this county, vei
to-do farmers, and good business
men. The interests of , the county
will be in good hands it you a-tbem.
