Tlio nominations mndo last evening
hy tho Republican State Convention
prove that the Independent movement
lia done nrnHi good already, ar.d plac
ed tho old political organizations upon
i heir guard and forced thuni to lay
wide tricks and schemes, and their
most notorious perpetrators, to obey,
as well as politics permit, tho will of
iho people. Tho nominations we pub
lish to-day were made with a view to
nxccllenco in hopes to command suc
cess. For once tho rings stood and
looked on, hut they were present, nnd
we helievo they are yet alive and pow
erful. Tho Republican ticket lias good
iU.illlie.s and is composed of good aver
age men, and may bo considered a fair
offset for the Democratic nominations.
.Judge J. (.'. Tolnian, of Jackson coun
ty, nominee for Governor, is a farmer
and has been County Judge of that
county. It is said that he is also a
(i ranger, and ho is known as good a citi

C. M. Foster, nominee for Secretary
of Stato, Is a resident of Maker county,
is a .-urvcyor hy profession, and very
oiupbteiil for clerical duties, having
Icon County Clerk of that county.
Though not known generally through
the Stite, his nomination will suit Kits
tern Oregon, where he is known.
Itichard Williams, nominee for Con
gress, N a well-known lawyer of I'ort
laud, shrewd and able in the law, who
will make an active campaign. Hois
olfored as a Mciillco, of compromise, to
pi lento tho independent Itepublic.ins.
Tho earnest work commenced with

showed good oim, for he is an excel

K. l. Wnllo, nominee for Stato Prin
ter, resides in S.ilom. Tho chances of j
U. Ii. Carter, or (iirvallls, lor Unit nom
ination, ended with the successor D. (!.
Clark, of that place, for nomination as
Treasurer.
Ii. I.. Rowland, nominee for Superin
tendent of I'uhllo Instruction, is at tho

The Can.ni.nu Business. The bight of i(
a Salem Hoodlum's ambition is to get

comtnerclal street with an opster can tleo
his caudal extremity. This business W
b(ion reduced to a science by young Slej
lies, and tho doxterlty with which theaum
Is captured and " canned, ' Is marvelous
the "sojourner in our midst." We wob
mildly suggest to the lovora of this p!
and highly Interesting amusement, that

lo account, by getting a first-class Job toi
of the salmon canning establishments on
Columbia. The only thing they would bn
to undorstaud Is that tho Dart of the aniaf

here, Is tho part generally thrown oveibotr-.
at the fisheries.
