REPUBLICAN STATE NOMINEES.

session, although the interests of differ
ent candidates before the convention
were looked after sharply by the re-
spective friends of each. The con-
vention adopted an excellent platform
besides doing good work in other
respects.
Binger Hermann, of Douglas
county, was nominated on the sixth
ballot for Congressman. He is long
resident and an early pioneer of Doug
las county and well acquainted with
the wants and necessities of the people
of Oregon. Mr.. Hermann is lawyer
of ability and man of learning who
together with his friends assures The
people when he is elected to Congress
he will work hard and earnestly for
the benefit of all sections of the State
with equal justice to all and without
partiality or prejudice to any other
locality. 1t is needless to predict that
Mr.. Hermann will be elected next
June by large majority because it is
apparent to everyone that this will be
the inevitable result. The election of
Mr.. Hermann as our next Congress
man has still another quite important
significance, because it will be the first
election of the year preceding the
election Of our next president. Mr..
Hermann is man who naturally in
spires the people with confidence and
we hope when elected will be able to
please the people, although when a
man is elected to Congress and takes
his seat there and enters upon his
duties he finds it impossible to ac-
complish everything his people desires
of him and hence they become dis
satisfied with him. A man going to
Congress finds several hundred other
Congressman who also desire to ac-
complish certain ends, and one Con-
gresham from small State like Ore
gon at last finds that he is compelled to
accomplish only what others will per
NIT him to do and not always what he
would like.
Judge L. Finn of Albany was NOM
mated for Supreme Judge, who is
lawyer of about fifteen years practice
of fair ability. He was elected four
years ago county judge of Linn County
where the majority was largely demo
cratic. His official career as judge of
Linn county has given good satisfaction
and if elected to the Supreme bench
will doubtless discharge the duties
thereof with energy, integrity and sat-
isfaction to the people.
The presidential electors nominated
are d. P. Thompson, of Portland,
Warren Truitt' of Dallas and J. G..
Leisure of Umatilla. These gentle
men Dire good speakers and in due time
will canvass different parts of the
State for the Presidential Republican
nominee.
Mr.. D. L. Watson of Coos county
was nominated for district attorney of
this judicial district. He is practic-
ing attorney of about 15 years stand.
ing of good ability and a brother Of E.
B. Watson, the present Supreme
Judge, and also brother of J. F.
Watson formerly judge of this district.
Although we never saw him prosecute
a case in court yet he is said to be an
active, vigorous and able prosecutor
and when elected prosecuting attorney
will no doubt make the commission of
crime odious.
After the delegates to the National
Republican Convention were elected a
resolution instructing them to use
their best efforts to nominate James G.
Blaine, of Maine, as the next Repubi
can candidate for President. A few of
the government appointees did not
favor any instruction, but desired the
matter left open until the usual ap-
pointments which are expiring shall
be reappointed. In the evening after
the convention adjourned on Thursday
a ratification was held at Portland
where able speeches were made by
candidates and other gentlemen of cul-
ture and ability to large and attentive
assembly of people. Everything is
encouraging for large republican
victory.
