Article t section to says, " No stale shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or con federation, grant letters of man no nnil re prisal; coin homy," Ac. This wellies it. No stale shall coin money, The editor of the Herald may aim to tell the truth, hut Tux Kugene Guard says that Postmaster ! he la an wr a marksman as Nat Ilium, the General ltis.ell has adopted a rule in re gard to appointments which will be rigidly ahhered to. There are a great many resig- tiitions of republican postmasters In Oregon now on rile in the department, and also many applications for the sameotllces, and yet no changes have been made. Applicants must know that no postmaster will lie ap pointed who does not lave petition from a goodly number of the citiiens at bis home town. The would-be postmaster w ho is un popular at home standi no chance under this rule. DUTY OF THE HOUR. The duty of the republican party this year is to nominate men that can be elected. Business interests demand that there should were " middle of the road populists, Tin Spokane Opinion makes a strong point on the following. It says: Watch the primaries when the time comes to hold them. Keep an eye on the men who may be bidding for support as delegates to the convention. Select only those who are known to tie simon pure republicans, and who have a personal interest in the welfare of the ticket. This is not the year for deals or trickery. Straight, outspoken and honor able are the only ones that can expect victory on election day. Th populists seem to have very little faith in the members of their own parly, for before voting to give tl.em the nomination lor any otlice they required them to stand up and take a solemn obligation that they Such the pet of the present administration.

The people hare found by years of experience that the administration of affairs by the re publican party was for the best good of the country, and with good men named for the positions to be rilled they will undoubtedly fire tbeir franchises in favor of the repub lican party and principles. The tk ket which will soon be named by the republican party will be judged in its entirety. Any weak nominee on the ticket will detract from the strength of the entire ticket and from every other person named. This being the case the utmost care should be exercised in the selection of nominees for very position to be filled. We want the strongest and best men wbose strength is a positive quantity a guaranty in itself of the upright intention of the party to carry out the pledges of its platform and the tra ditions of its glorious achievements. In discussing the importance of choosing able and upright standard bearers the Inter Ocean says: "The general policy of the republicans throughout the country in ISM should be to take up candidates who were not blackballed by the eople in IS'Ji." There may be exceptions to this rule but in old war horses as R. I Swucer, G. K. II. Miller and T. II. ilankins niu-t have en joyed getting up and assuring the brethren that they were still sound in faith. Tits few lines of editorial in the Enter prise1 relative to leaders of the populists being anarchists must have bit something or somebody very hard, judging by the pot of ink fired from the Herald correspond ent's " cannon" last week. Pon't go off half cocked again, brother. With the scandal concerning the acts of the democratic governor and state otticers and the legal trial now pending against them there is strong probability that the state will be carried by the republicans this fall by about 4,ijOO.

The iniortance of the coming election must not be undervalued. It involves not only the selection of the entire county and state tickets, but the senators elected at this time will have a voice in selecting two I'ni ted States senators. As intimated a weak place In the ticket lessens the chances of the party for victory in every other part of the ticket, from which it must be concluded that a poor nomination for even the usually considered unimportant office of coroner would lessen the chances for the election of republican representative or United States senator.

J. T. Apper son, as our choice for gubernatorial honors. Captain Apperson combines all the qual ities of an able and efficient governor, and if nominated would command the bearty and undivided support of his own party besides drawing heavily upon the farming contingent of all other parties throughout the state. His long and honor able incumbency of responsible offices emi nently qualities him for the office of chief executive of the state, and we urge bis nom ination for that office. Voters at the coming elections cannot afford to throw away their votes on experi mental parties. One year of democratic pol icies and administration has brought busi ness, business men, and labor upon the verge of bankruptcy. The democratic party bas been an advocate of many of the theo ries of government which are made funda mental principles by the populists. The only logical deduction from these facts is that since the administration of a party pledged to only a part of these vagaries bas caused doubt, distrust and ruin, the eleva tion of a party pledged to all would be fol lowed by consequences much more direful in their effects. It is for the voters to say w hether they want any more or worse times than the present. We are not surprised that the populists asked Mr. Starkweather to pledge bis fealty to tbeir principles, inasmuch as hi bas be longed to every known party since 18.ri0. To be consistent he should have been some thing else this year besides a populist, and no doubt he would if be or any one else could have found a new party for him to embrace. It long since became patent to everybody, except possibly himself that Mr. starkweather was a ",iner." ready hands; Men whom the lust of otlice does not kiil; Men whom the spoils of otlice cannot buy; Men who possess opinions nod a will; Men who have honor; men who will not lie; Men who can stand belore a demagogue, And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking. Strong men, sun-crowned, w ho live above tbe fog In public duty, and in private thinking; for, while the rabble witb their thumb-worn Creeds, Their large professions and their little deeds, Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom weeps, Wrong rules the land and waiting justice sleeps." A serious crisis now stares the republican party of Oregon in the face, and that is the selection of candidates for the various offices to be filled at the coming election. With strong, clean leaders we can win. Otherwise, otherwise. It isa most impera tive necessity that we should win in the coming contest. The eyes of the wlmlc country will be turned uoii hs, as Oregon will be the tirst state this season to pass judgment upon the present incompetent, labor-destroying administration. The Ore gouian, in speaking of a candidate tor the office of governor, says: " Let new men be recognized and new blood be infused into the contest." This is tbe sentiment which should inspire those who are entrusted with the power of naming the candidate. If a man was defeated four years ago, when the state went repnblican by about ten thousand, that is no reason why " he should be given another chance," but is tbe best reason imaginable for letting him severely alone. I have quite an extensive acquaintance throughout dillerent portions of the state, and also in Portland, and have heard numerous expressions in regard to D. P. Thompson. I have never heard even one who voted against him four years ago express any desire or inclination to change in bis favor, but have heard several who voted for him before declare emphatically they would vote against him now. It seems to me it would be the bight of folly for the republicans to pursue such a suicidal course as to ofTer sued rejected timber again for the suffrages of the citizens of this com monwealth. We want a bold, aggressive man, one who can attuck the strongholds of our adversaries and carry them by storm. The most difficult campaign to win is a defensive one, and we should not hamper our party witb candidates who would be forced to act upon the defensive at all times. I have known Mr. Thompson for more than twenty-five years, and have nothing to say agiust him, except 1 do not consider him an available candidate, and for this reason think it would be very unwise and impolitic to nominate him at the present time. liy a great many he is looked upon as responsi ble to a great extent for tbe misfortunes of just such a man as our farmer friends would like to meet in olllce; who is intelligent and posted as regards the times; always a staunch republican; is located in a central part of the county, and is just such a man as should receive tbe unanimous vote of the republican county convention and then be elected by an overwhelming majority to the office of county commissioner.
