Oregon Republican state Ticket.

This week We publish the Oregon Re
publican State ticket and herewith appends
notices the different candidates have re-
ceived from the newspapers OF the State.
The ticket is one of the strongest ever
submitted 10 the votes of Oregon and viii
be hard to beat.
The candidates presented by the con
vention will command the respect OF the
people and the vote of the republicans of
the state. The denomination Of Mr.
George by the unanimous voice OF the
convention, was just recognition OF the
ability and earGestness he has evinced in
his en5eavors 10 save the state lie
ought to be reelected This is due not
to HIM only, hut TO the people themselves
When the people show disposition to re-
elect man who does well, it is not only
a proper incentive to honorable ambition,
but an evidence that the people rightly
estimate the requirements and opportuni-
ties of the position. We do not urge the
reelection of Mr.. George as compliment
10 himself, but as manifestly the best
thing TO do, under existing circumstan-
ces. TO secure efficient service to the state.
Mr.. Il. +. Moody of The Dalles, who is
presented as candidate for the Office of
state executive, is man of recognized In
teprity and honorable history, and has
long been one of the most enterprislng
and successful business men OF Eastern
Oregon. He has never been indifferent
to public affairs as too many men ara who
give themselves up to business, but has
always taken the interest proper TO cltl-
zen in matters of public concern. HIS
county, always democratic, gave him
testimonial of its confidence two years
ago by electing him to the legislative as
sembly, and he was made speaker.
Though an earnest republican always, he
is not partisan. He is man OF genial
manner, is easy OF access, is always eonrt
eous, and yet has positive CONVICTIONS,
with the stability and firmness necessary
Tor the executive office MIR. Moody is
not an extraordinary man, but is citizen
OF excellent standing, a man of force and
breadth and character If elected the
executive Office will he in safe hands.
OF Mr. Earhart, who is re-nominated
for the Office of secretary of state, and
Mr.. Hirsch, who is again presented for
the position Of treasurer of state, little
need now be said. Four years ago they
were elected to these positions, and dis
charged their duties faithfully ana we'll
The administrative department of the
state has never been, on the whole, so
well conducted The record that has
been made may be examined IN It's details
and Judged by its results. The contrast
between the last four years and eight
| wears management OF the Organized otfl-
ces" that proceeded them, is seen IN the
payment Of the state debt, unlawfully Gre
ated by the prodigality of the preceding
administration and the reduction of taxes
made possible by the presence of eticien-
cy and honesty where formerly there was
a continuous reign uf extravaganza, waste
fulness and pecuIation. Judge Lord, who
is re-nomina:ed for the supreme bench,
has given satisfaction in that position
both to people ard bar Prof. f. b. Nc
Elroy of Benton, the candidate for state
Superintendent Of public instruction, is a
man Of literary attainments and possesses
experience as an educator Mr.. W. II.
Byars, who is named for state printer, is
proprietor of the Piaiadeoler, published
at Roseburg We think the nomination
will, on the whole, be as satisfactory to
republicans as any the convention could
| have made. There are few, perhaps, OF
either party who would not make some
exceptions To the names presented by the
party they act with but such exceptions
commonly arise from personal bias that
has little to support it. Both parties
have, on the whole, done well in their
nomination. 1t is now, in the main, a
question of political preference or party
prediction. AS We said two weeks ago,
democrats with few exceptions Will vote
the ticket they nominated, Republicans
with few exceptions will vote for the can
didates presented by the convention
whose proceedings We report to-day.
