After eonyersing with several geAtle-
men from Marion county wo learn that
there have been no Republican nomina-
tions in that county that Republicans
proper arc bound to respect. The par
ty has been captured by tho cranks that
have been trouble to the Republicans
in Marion for yems. At last the issue
Is made with them within the party.
Heretofore these craaks have mtde the
issue outside of the party. The thing
as it now stands il the most singular
freak in politics. Those who are in The
lead have u singular record for Repuhli-
cans. They are Doise, Davenport,
Ford. Waldo, Mimic, and others. Boise
has been connected with every party
since he was born except the kaow
Nothing party. The reason that he fail
ed TO connect with that was that it was
doomed to DO a minority party lie
was a Massachusetts Whig, an Oregon
Democrat, always in Office ifauy there
were to be fllod, until ths party became
\ minority party, then he became Re
publican, with his dish presented for
the pottsse due him for this change of
base. Ia 1871 fearing that his weight
was too light 30 be carried longer by tie
Republicans, and wanting the o6iee of
Judge in 1876, he became an Indepon-
dent and worked hard 10 create par
" of that nams. His vulgar denuncia-
ton Of the Republican party then will
be long remembered, Failing in this,
opportunities brought him back, aad he
solicited the Judgcship Of tas party he
so lately abused. Under no Obligations
10 the Republican party, and treating
its organizations with contempt, $50 has
made good his spare TINA in building
up fsctisn Of his own within that par
". His railroad passeSs enabled him
to go sf,en on this business, aud with
characteristic fidelity to fri1nds he de
asunced the corporations from which
be reoived these f,vors. The rosult now
presents itself in an entire defeat of the
Republican organization, a. far AS he is
concerned. He wants the u. :. Sen
ate for msusing purposes in the futar".
He has not in all this time been char
ter member of bat one party, and that
vas the Independent. He simply join
Ell all others as fast as there was day
light 10 he seen. Tim Davenport, can
iidate for the legislature. was another
Independent, and ran for Cong ess on
that ticket in 1874. Waldo. old "sscssh
Democrat" as he was called during the
war, and candidate for County Judge
OF the Independent ticket in 1874. is
now the Republican candidate for State
Senate. Til Ford, another so-callel
"sscesh Democrat" and cand date oA

Attorney in 1874. is candi late OF the
Republican tieke. for tb. Legislature
Old AR. Mimic is ont IN defence oi
