INDEPENDENT $OMlNE?E 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 1 9 for tat position, tke Times fur remarks : "His administration was. noted for nohinBavetho arbitrary manner in which Ija tresjtcd, persons oC opposite views. Among his most notorious performances was wbcre he assumed, without any authority whatcyer, to declare his party sheet the litigant 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 ctll him to tear the Radical standard " 1" ' And this is tho m in, fellow citizens, that you are requested ' to support.
