RKrUBLlCAS STATE CoNvENTION,


The proceedings ofthe Republi-
can State Convention at Portland
last week, were harmonious and full
genuine enthusiasm. The results
fully justify the confidence imposed
in it by the party. The candidates
nominated and committees filled
give general satisfaction to the par
ty throughout the State. The NOM
iaation Of Jos. G. Wilson, for Cor
gress, cannot fail to elicit an earnest
and enthusiastic sup portfrom every
member Of the party. His eminent
abilities, habits of sobriety, personal
magnetism and thorough reliability
as q Republican, as well as
his previous campaign in the
same relation, in which lie re-
dnced the Democratic majority
some eight hundred votes, render
him most formidable opponent TO
the Democracy. The candidates for
District Attorneys are lawyers Of
acknowledged ability and fitness in
professional knowledge and person
al character, and will receive the
hearty support Of the party in their
districts For the Third Judicial
District, the one in which Linn
county is isinclnded, the nomination
ofN. b. Humphrey, Of this place,
gives most hearty satisfaction. The
Captains loyalty to the party is unr
doubted, and his professional quail
ifications, geniality of temperament
and social standing, leave but little
room to doubt but that he will be our
next District Attorney. The three
Presidential Electors selected-A.
i. Meacham, of Umatilla county
w. D. Hare, Of Washington coun-
ty; JAS f. Galley, Of Douglas
county-are all judicious selections,
whose influence IN determining the
political destiny Of Oregon for the
Republican nominees for President
and Vice President, and the whole
ticket, win be most powerfully felt.
The names chosen by the Convention
TO represent the Republican party Of
Oregon in the next National Re
publican Convention, are tower Of
strength in their sterling integrity to
Republican principles; and when
they cast their votes for Grant and
Colfax in the National Republican
Convention at Philadelphia, 40 in-
structed 10 do by the State Conven-
ton, the universal wishes Of the
party throughout the State will .
have been met. The selection Of
names to serve as members of the
State Central COMMITTEES, for the
next two years, is wise. all being
reliable and representative men.
The most gratifying feature, how
ever, Of the action of the Con-
vention, next to the adop-
ton Of the platform, was the unsnr
unity and enthusiasm which prompt
ed every member to vote for the
resolution instrllctiDg the Delegates
10 the National Republican Conver
tion, to vote for Grapt and Colfsk
for President and Vice President
of the United States. We haze
not space in this article to criticise
the clearly defined principles Of the
party, as expressed in the platform.
The platform, however, like the last
annual Message OfPresident Grant,
Is SO tersely and plainly expressed,
that it isits own best interpretor-it
speaks SOritself With the action
fthe State Convention before US;
tbe platform: che candidatesselect-
ed the committees appointed the !
harmony and unaninity and spirit
which ran through it all like .
thread Of gold, we cannot but an
ticipate . most glorious result in the
coming elections. Let every Re
publican labor and look for COM
plete success.
