T1?a Jodiejade.riY CoByentica has
met a9d, Wvjork comnietedf' yfcc
and faithfully did tka rc,emVera. 01 that
Convention perform tho task assigned
I em that of producing a ticket that
wou'd receive the respect and support
of the people. The ticket is 10 every
respect a good one and, without
doubt, will be elected by a handsome
maioritv. Never in the history of
Oregon politics has a ; Convention con
ducted its Droccedinss in a more
harmonious manner. Each delegate
laying aside his prejudice,. vored njen
tnat rouid command the hearty
spprovi of their Cellpw, citizenj. Ot
he candidates perscnally, in this issue
we shall bav,4 lile, to' say, and we
deem itw no neeeasarj ttyt, any long
and studied eulogies should be written
in regard to them, we consider that the
ticket is a sumcient recomrQendat,icn.
Mr. T. F. Campbell candidate for
Governor is too well known, in tin
county to require any , comment trom
us He is known to be a man of high
moral character, of fished education
and a good debater. He has the entire
Respect and confidence of all who are
personally acquainted with hirr.. His
Domination was most oportune, and we
do not know of another maninOregon
whom we would more cheetfullj
support for (loyernor or any other
ositkn, than do we Mr. T, F. Camp
belt If he should undertake to canvass
the State, Governor G rover will find
that h. W &a elepha.pt to handle.
He will np findj it so easy to
combat the forcible and CfuviDo.
t : 1 . . . 1 .
ashe.didte chaffy and longwinded
" apeeches 0 Qoveruot VYood. If wo.
are not mistaken, Mr. Campbell will
receive, in thia county, from one hun
dredaud fifty to three, hundred majority
oyer Grover, while Tolmaa, will not
get a sufficient number of votes in this
county, for the people to tell whether
he is on the track or not.
' Mr. T. W.Davenport, Indepenpot
candidate for Congress, is a man w.e
known throughout the fkate. He is a
man of acknowledged ability, and well
Qualified in every respect for the posi
tioo to which he has been nominated
...
by" tha Convention and will be elected
by the people. His honesty and
integrity, we thjuk, no man will call
in question. We shall suspend our re
marks oo the reatofthe ticket until some
future issue, with this remark, that 14
far as we know., and we have tnade
ioquries concerning those we know not
personally or by reputation, the ticket
is, without exception, ; composed of
lpne$t and temperance men. We do
not mean by this assertiou that every
rain on the ticket is a member of some
temperance organization, but $hat they
are such men that, if elected will have
great influen.ee on the temperance cause,
and would, we lelievo. favor temper
ance laws.
Mr. Tilmo.n Ford, candid for
Prosecuting Attorney for thjs D6trict
we have known perscnalW Cpr'the last
four or five yorrnnd we know him to
be id all respects htteq for tn,o position
which is more than we can say of some
of the pther candmates tor tnai omce
UMiPrfl Mr Fun! is well known wi
' v t t ' '
haye yet to hear the rst sentonce
derogatory to his character in any
particular. FJe is a strong temporance
man- He is a pcrsou, pf drive and
energy, ac,d w,ill, when elected, see that
our existing laws on the liquor question
are strictly enforced.
As the Independent Convention was
composed of men from among the
people, and not officeholders, rinjs aod
slaves, we may safely say that the voice
of tbat Convention may be taken for
the voce of the people on election day,
and that our ticket will be triumphant
over the other two now in the field, by
a large majority.
TOLMAN AT HO.MC
The Jacksonville Timts commenting
on the Radical nominations, thou speaks
of Judc Toiman, Radical pomince for
Governor :
,4The hagest joke of all wa the
nomination of Judge Toiman, of this
county, for Governor. A more pre
posterous birlesque on that office could
not be perpetrated. NV'hen men of
ability Uke Jude liaise and Dr. Geary
arcthruat -aside to. mukc tooa for uc!
calioro as Mr. Toiman. there certainly
must be trickery somewhere, or pre.
verted taste predominntiog. Person-
ally e have tho bihes regard lor
Wta- That he he ha not the aligned
qualification for the office is but too
well known. The Mitchipple pro
gramme no doubt is to use him 'as n
tool to their jobbery, in case of hi
electioo, of which there is not thr
remotest possibility. His nomination
is in direct opposition to the wishes ol
leading Republicans of his own connty.
and be will not poll his party vole L)
considerable."
Speaking of Tolmaa as. county J u
of Jackson county, and the excuses
made by our Radical friends for placing
in nomination a mwn so wholly un

"His administration was. noted for

performances was wbcre he assumed,
without any authority whatcyer, to

paper of. the county. Nearly every
ljttle notice withiq the jurisdiction of
his Court was Buflixod by the word.-
-"published in, the Oregon Sentinel by
order of Hon. J. C Tolraan, County
Judge." Although a standing candi
date ever since, his party deemed one
infliction of him amply sufficient, and
the "statesman", was ignominiou-ly
onsigned to his tannery until the
present time, when his virtue of ob
purity and harmonizing proclivities

lived, I. That extravagance and
tion have become so prevalent in
iminstration of the affairs of this
Stato and nation ai to burden the
people with taxes that are not neceary
to good govcraraenf, maka politics a
trade and debauch the morals of socie
ty; that there is 00. ground to hope
for a remedy for. these evils through
tbe.agency of the two political parties
that have heretofore ruled the country,
and that tho welfare of the people de
mand that every citizen, laying aside
all party prejudieles and differences of
opinion upon' immaterial poiots, unite
in Hclcctiug (or the public service men
who will exert themselves to secure
public economy, retrenchment and
reduction' of taxation in every practica
ble way.
2. That we view with alarm the
reckless course of the Sjtato and Nation
al (Governments in the multiplication of
officers beyond the requirements of the
public service many 6i whom, wbile
receiving salaries, from the 'public
treasury, are devoting ihemselvei to
their private pursuits. And wo demand
that officers paid do give their time
exclusively to the service for hich
they are appointed..

the National and State Government, of
all reasonable . measures of securing
cheap transportation ; and to this end
vvc iuvor liberal aid from the General

for tho construction of the Portland,
Dalles and "Salt Lake Railroad ; the
completion of the Oregon and Califor

Central Railway to Junction City.
That the interests of tho State demand
the completion of the Oregon Central
Railway to Astoria ; that we favor
sucft.aidas may bo consistent with
prudence and public ecouoray,, for the
construction of roads across our moun-
rcsp.
tain chains. And we favor the im
mediate construction of a wason road
along the south bank of the Columbia
river f roto, the moutl of Sandy iu the !
Lallf,s.
4. Thaf all property rigjita, iudivid
ual and corporate, should be subject to
law; that we would give all proper aid
encouragement alid, protection to corpo
rations, companies of persons engaged
in. transportation, commerce or any
other legitimate. pursuit ; but we hold all
subject to lav and we demand tUat
the rates of fares an4 freights on rail
ways witjiin the the State bo fixed by
the legislature of the State, and on
inter State railwayp, by Congress
5. ' That we demand a return to the
salaries fixed 'by the Co.ustitutjon for
State officers, and we condemn all the
schemes that have been devised (a
increase such salariei by indirection
That the compensation of all officers
should be only such as wonld pay them
fairly for the services they perform;
that County Clerks and Sheriffs should
rwe salaries fixed by law. according to
their services ; that the law increasing
their fees should be repealed, and a law
enacted providing reasonable fees to ba
charged by them in cases where private
purtiys alone are concerned, such fees to
be paid by officers into tho County Treas

that we are opposed to the purchase or
leasing by the" State of the Canals and
Looks at the tall of the Willamette,
but would hold both the Stat and the
Lock Company to a strict compiiaace
with tneir existing contract.
10. That woepccuilly condemn those
acta of the Legislature that have en
abled speculators to obtain the public
lands of the State in large tracts, to th
excluion ol poor men and men ot

If. That we are in favor of such legis

as will allow each precinct to decide by
a vote of the citizens thereof whether
liquor shall be sold in that precinct or

of intoxicating drink responsible for
damages which may bo done by the
abuse of that privilege wh.ero sale is
permitted.
