Democratic Convention Nominates Local Candidates
A Umatilla county Democratic gathering introduced sheriff and county clerk hopefuls with brief speeches. Wm Blakeley of Eastland accepted the Democratic nomination for sheriff, pledging to serve with credit if elected. John Vert, candidate for county clerk, defended party principles while praising incumbent work. James Howard discussed the recorder race, and William Scott announced his bid for county judge. Other candidates spoke on assessor, school superintendent, surveyor, and representative roles, urging unity and pledging to uphold platforms and reduce costs. A Portland Alaska news item and various notices followed, concluding with remarks on public sentiment and a caveat against folly in pursuing quick fortunes.
