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' Well, Dalrymple has withdrawn.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.

I, Wm. Blakley, being first duly
sworn depose and say, that T am and
have, been for the lost 28 years, a resi
dent of Umatilla county and State of
Oregon.
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.

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.
