Old Clip Tells
By MRS. C. S. HOSKINS

ed recently in the Peninsula
Herald, in Monterey, Calif., was
sent to Mrs. Albert Burch, Jack
sonville, by her nephew, Col.
William Chapman, who is well
known in the valley.
, "Goodby Seymour, Hello
Grant.
"Most ancient newspaper finds
to date behind Peninsula mirrors
have been the Oct. 17, 1868,
Jacksonville (Oregon) Sentinel,
and the Oct. 21, 1868 issue of the
Sacramento Daily Bee, uncov
ered by Mike Archer of Del
Monte Park. Both papers were
in an excellent state of repair
despite their age. One item in the
Sentinel asked 10 Civil War vet
erans to call for their soldier's
bounties. Both issues were filled
with election results throughout
the states. U. S. Grant and Hora
tio Seymour were the contestants
with Seymour losing in Novem
ber. The Bee celebrated the Re
publican sweep with a poem,
'Grant Is Our Leader,' which
started out 'Yes, we'll rally round
the polls, boys, rally once again,
shouting for General Grant and
freedom . . .!' Whereas the Senti
nel proclaimed in big print from
their telegraph: 'GOD AND LIB
ERTY!!! GRANT AND COLFAX.
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Nebraska All gone Republican.
GOOD - BYE SEYMOUR!' They
took their politics seriously in
those days."

Jackson County Democratic Party
I have been employed in the County Assessor's office since 1949.
In filing for this office as a candidate on the Democratic ballot,
it is with the knowledge, based on actual experience, of the vital
part the Assessor's office has at the local level of government.
This is the most important and the most technical office In the
structure of government in Jackson County..
Since our greatest work load occurs at this time of year) the
computing and compiling of all values for the 1956-57 assessment '
year, I feel that my first responsibility is to perform the dutiet
for which the tax payer's are paying for.
I would like to be out in the various areas of the County, meeting
people, discussing matters pertaining to this office, and furthering
my campaign, but, as I have pointed out above, will be unable to
do so. YOUR interests should and WILL come FIRST.
