Lebanon Express. H. Y. KIRKPATRICK. Editor - and - Proprietor MONTAGUE FOR CLERK. Cap't C. B. Montague has been a resident of Lebanon for over twenty-five years and a resident of Linn county for thirty years. He was in business in this city for about twenty years and has done more for iue upbuilding of Lebanon than any other man in it and has given more money for publio im provements, charity and religious purposes than any two men in our city and this is the first time Mr. Montague has ever permitted his name to come before the voters of Linn county for any office. That Mr. Montague Ib well qual ified for the office he now seeks, and that he will make an able and efficient officer is admitted by all. Then let us give Hon. C. B. Mon tague a good vote next Monday to Bhow our appreciation of his many noble deeds, if nothing else. The Express hopes to see Hon. Monta gue poll a large vote all over the county on June 1, but especially do we hope to see him come out of Lebanon's two precincts with a large majority. Vote for Monta gue and you will make no mistake. The Jefferson Review says: ' Well, Dalrymple has withdrawn. He has gone to California to reside in the future, and the contest for prosecuting attorney of the third district is between Hayden aud Carson. Of course Carson says Hayden bought Dalrymple, but he forgets to state that he (Carson) tried to do the same thing of which he accuses Hayden,' but Dalrymple would not accept his offer. The people of the 3d district care but little whether Dalrymple is on the ticket or not. They wouldn't vote for him. The question is which of. the two present candidates is best entitled to your support. Mr. Car son haB never yet been able to vote at a presidential, state or county election, and now wishes to be placed in a position to enforce laws which, not being a citizen, he had no voice in making. Mr. Hayden, on the contrary, was born in this state, and though yet young in years, ranks among our fore most criminal lawyers. The office is in no sense a political one, and qualifications are what should be considered. We believe that Mr. Hayden, by virtue of his ability and a lifetime passed within the borders of our state, is entitled to the office, and we expect to see him elected. These is no politics in the office of county judge. We need an hon- est, capable and independent man. Mr. Barton is unknown. He is douhtless a thorough gentleman hut even his friends do not claim for him any knowledge of law. Such knowledge is necessary, or confusion will reign. Judge Dun' can has proven his unfitness for the office by allowing bills to the sheriff contrary to the law. No one denies that he has allowed such bills and his conduct is inex cusable and unjustifiable. Person ally Duncan is a good enough man and no one has a word against him but he has not the necessary qual ifications for his office. The people can vote for Garland, knowing that he has the necessary qualifications'. Public sentiment is fast centering on Garland as the safest man. He is gaining from both Duncan and Barton. Garland' will be elected. The Herald has been digging Blakely with all its might. It has done its work too soon, for Blakely's friends have had time to and have proven the baseness of the charges. The rebound is alarming the re publicans. They see that a think ing public require more than mere words. They want proof, and proof has come and Blakely's vindication is complete. Sensible voters will resent so bold and baseless at tempt to besmirch a man's charac ter. Blakely's election is made certain now, if it was not so before. J H. C. Watson will be elected to till UgllltUrii Thf Ihdepandint vote is contering on him. He will get the solid democratic vote also. Watson is the man for the legisla ture. We need there men of abil ity and integrity. He haB both. He will make a fearless, capable and ' honest representative. Be sure his name isin your ballot. Mr. Garland is developing much strength. He will be the next county judge. . ABSOLUTE PROOF. The Indictment Charge Against Henry Blakely a Boomerang, (From Albany Democrat.) Below we give several documents which absolutely settle the facte In reference to the Indictment of Henry Blakely twenty-five years ago, so long ago as to make reference to the matter ridiculous as a political weapon The last sentence in the following letter of the county clerk will express every true citizen's feelings In the matter: Pendleton, May 21, 1896. Dear Sir: Mr. W. M. Blakely was in my office this morning and left with me and for my attention your letter of the 17th lust . - Pursuant to your request and under his direction I have procured from the olerk of of circuit court for this county certified copies of the indictment against Henry Blakely an others re turned in 1871 and certified copy of the order of the court dismissing it as to all the defendants, also certified copy of the indietme.it relumed during the same year against James W. Fenn, alias William Hutch, together with a certified copy of the judgment and sentence of the court sendiug him to the pen for two years on the plea of "guilty." You will observe that this James W. Fenn, was the only witness that ap peared or testified before the grand jury in the cause where the indict ment was returned against Henry Blakely, et al. I also enclose you affidavit of Wm. Blakely, covering the other mat ten contained In your letter. I will be glad to furnish you any other information that you may need and that I can get in regard to this matter, and hope that you will be able to use this as a serviceable boomerang, against the contemjitible mud wallow- era who would try to use anything of this kind as political ammunition. Yours very Truly. A, D, Stillman. MAT TERM, 1871, CIRCUIT- COURT, 1ST JUDICIAL DAY THE 1ST. The Circuit Court of the State of Oregon, for the County of Umatilla met this 1st day of May, A.

That the Indictment found in the Circuit court of the State of Oregon, for Umatilla county, in the year 1871 against Henry Blakely was procured by false testimony and under a mlsap- BratMtulooortliefMUl that Ihi laid Henry Blakely, on hearing of it voluntarily and without being arrested cams to Pendleton, the county seat, and gave a bond for his appearanoe to meet the oharge whenever prosecuted, That the prosecuting attorney, after a full Investigation, aud of bis own motion In open court, slated that he was satisfied that Henry Blakely had no connection whatever with the feats alleged in the Indictment aud volun tarily and as a matter of Justice, dis missed the indictment as to the said Henry Blakely. That as matter of fact the cattle iu said indictment as having been stolen, were cattle belonging to Henry Blakely's father, Capt. James Blake ly, of Brownsville, Oregon, and oharged In the indlctmeut as being the property of this affiant. W. M. Blakely. Subscribed and sworn before me tills 21st. day of May, A. D., 1896. A.L. Stillman, Notary Publio for Oregon James W. Fenn on whose testimony the indictment was found was con victed at the same term of court Mr. Blakely was iudlcted, as will be seen by the above records. Mr. A. Farlow, of Near Jefferson says Fenn stole $ from his father since serving a term in the penitentiary of this state and is now a refuge from justice, supposed to be in British Columbia. The documents referred to In the above letter show the dismissal of the indictment and the discbarge of the bondsmen; and the Indictment of Fenn, fully coyered by the documents published. THE RECORDER'S OFFICE. A correspondent in the Albany Democrat of May 26 writes thus: Albany, Or., May 26, 1896. Editor Democrat: The election is now olose at hand and it becomes the duty of every elector to carefully consider the qualifications of each candidate for the particular office for which he is running. The office of county recorder is a very important oftloe to the people and the man who receives the votes of the people for this office should be not only a good scribe but sufficiently intelligent to be able to make a good, clean, legible record. The democratic candidate Mark M. Peery, possesses all these qualifications in a marked degree. He is a fine scribe and otherwise well qualified for the office of recorder. But how Is It with the present incumbent? For a sample of his qualifications for this office we refer the public to some of his work as follows: Deed records Vol. 41 page 260, where be attempted to record a deed, but made such a miserable (allure out of it as to cross the whole thing out; VoL 21 pages 314 and 814 where the work so bad as to cause them to be out en tirely; Vol. 61 pages 66, 166, 162 and 254 interlined and mutilated in fearful style; Vol. 62 pages IS, 14 and 16 the same; Mortgage records Vol. 20, pages 130, 131 and 131 done in miserable style and many other examples of the bung ling style of the present Incubent might be referred to. An Inspection of the pages alone referred to is all that is necessary to verify the facts. If the change in the office of recorder will turn it upside down it will be a good thing to have a change as any one will see after examining the pages of the rtcords above referred to. Voter.
