The money must accompany every order. Postmasters will please act as Accents for the Gazette. OUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN. Hon. M. C. George, the Republi can nominee for Cogress will address the people of Oorvallis to morrow evening. We trust that every one who can will be present. Mr. George is an able speaker, and to this fact, will be added the additional one that for the next two years he will repre sent Oregon in the Halls of Con gress. We have known Mr. George from boyhood and no man could re ceive a more hearty support from us for this high position for the very good reason we know of no man better fitted for the responsible posi tion. For four years he has been a member of the State Senate from Multnomah county, and his record there, not only shows him to be a man of ability and calculated to command respect and wield great influence, but his actions in the in terest of this county in relation to the Yaquina Bay further demonsta'es that he is a man above personal or local interests. During the whole of Mr. George's term in the Senate, no bill was introduced favoring in any way the interests of Yaquina Bay that did not find in him an able ad vocate a:id a hearty supporter, and as the platform on which be is run ning, by positive declaration favors the improvement of the harbor at Yaquina Bay, no doubt can be entertained by any one that this particular section of the county will have in Mr. George a friend ready, willing and able to assist us in our interests. Mr. George came to Oregon when child in his motbeis arms and has lived here ever since, until a few years ago; he resided in Linn county and is personally known to very many of our readers; he is still a young man, his private character is above reproach his integrity ibove suspicion, and in learning and ability, few minds are better stored or more gifted be will, when elected, not only make a faithful and efficient public officer, but reflect credit on the State that sends him as its Rep resentative. DISTRICT NOMINATIONS. Hon. J. F. Watson, the present Judge of this District, is again a candidate for re-election. Judge Watson has by his ability as a Judee, already, made his election; his dis patch of business alone, saves to each, county in the district hundreds of dollars in taxes each year; his ability is undeniable and the purity of his Court above even the shadow of reproach; he is an able lawyer, a genial and courteous gentleman, and has hosts of friends who will give him their unqualified support with out regard to politics. His majority in June will be larger than any man eyer received in this district. Jas. A. Yantis, the Republican candidate for District Attorney is, at present, the editor of this paper and not the proper person to pass upon his own qualifications. He has been a resident of Oregon for twenty-seven years, came to Benton county ten years ago. Here, at that time he commenced the battle of life, and has continued here ever since. FOR JOINT SENATOR. Hon. R. A. Bensell, of Newport, our candidate for Joint Senator with Polk county, is in towti. Of Mr. Bin sell's qualifications for this responsi ble position, it is unnecessary for us to speak to the people of Benton county; he has served as our Repre sentative in the Legislature and his record there is one of profit to his county. His efforts in behalf of Yaquina Bay have made him the friend of every person in this part of the country who desires to see that harbor improved, or its surrounding country developed. For more than ten years Mr. B. has lived on the Bay, and has made the interests of that section of the country his own, and freely given his lime and money to any and every enterprise that was calculated to develope the resources of that section, and his efforts have been appreciated by his neighbors, for almost every one of them irre spective of party, will vote for him. Mr. Bensell is well and favorably known throughout the State and will, therefore, be able to do much good in the next legislature to which hi will undoubtedly be elected. ; OUR JUDICIARY. We are on the eve of one of the most important elections ever held in our State; the entire Judiciary is to be elected, and before these differ ent tiibunals, the most sacred rights of life, liberty and property, will from time to time be adjudicated, and in the selection of the various Judges to be selected at the coming election, too much care "can not be given; the Republican candidates for the position of Supreme Judges possess many qualifications for this high office calculated to peculiarly fit them for the duties that will be imposed upon them. Mot one of them has ever been mixed up with any political ring or intrigue, and all are men of pound and undeniable legal ability. The convention in se lecting these gentlemen reflected credit upon itself by chosing men qualified for the office, and not on account of any previous political ser vice to the party. Between the three candidates, we can make no distinction, each is pos sessed of the necessary qualifications to entitle him to the position, and has proven by success at the bar, that he will be an honest, competent and upright Judge. We note in the order of things that Hon. R. A. Bensell of Newport, was nominated by the Convention for joint Senator to represent the counties of Polk and Benton. This is as it should be. We know of no one more worthy or one on whom the honor tonld rest with a better grace. Mr. Benst-ll is an indefatiga ble worker and in his hands the in terests of Polk and Benton counties will find a staunch and firm advocate. His e'ection by a large majority is assured. Junction Republican. The State Journal published at Eugene City, by Geo. Kincaid, Esq., speaking of the above article, says it is a well deserved compliment. What will the 'straight-out" Democrats do about supporting J. T. Hughs for County Clerk, who bolted the caucus nominee of the last legislature, by voting blank for Unit ed States Senator? This will be particularly consoling to the friends of Senator Slater in this county, after his (Slater's) efforts in behalf of Yaquina Bay. J. A. Yantis, of Corvallis, the Republican nominee for District At torney for this judicial district is a young lawyer of rare talent and re cognized legal ability. He was ad mitted to practice in the Supreme Court of this State at the June ses sion of 1874 and has been a success ful practitioner ever since. Junction Republican. Band Concert. On Tuesday evening the Second Brigade Band pave an excellent mu sical entertainment at the Opera House. The crowded condition of our columns ren ders it impossible to give the extended no tice the merit of the concert deserves. The audience was large, they expected a perfect success, they were not disappointed. NOTICES FROM THE PRESS. Below we reproduce some of the many kind notices relative to the death of the late editor of the Ga zette, that have from time to time come to our notice, through the col umns of "the various newspapers of the State: Win. B. Carter, State Printer and editor of the Corvallis Gazette, died at his home last Sunday morning, and was buried on Monday afternoon, under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity. Business at Cor vallis was generally suspended during the last sad rites and the State offices at Salem were closed. Deceased was highly respect ed and widely known as a man of thorough integrity, and was a kind husband and father. His death is sincerely mourned by all who knew him. New Northwest. We regret to have to announce the death of W. B. Carter, late State Printer of Ore gon, owner of the Corvallis Gazette, which he has honorably conducted for many years, and well and favorably known through the State and especially to the fraternity of newspaper men. Mr. Carter dies in the prime of life, after many months of ill health and leaves behind him a reputation for good citizenship, probity and moral worth that reflects honor upon his name, and will be a satisfaction to his family and friends. Mr. Carter was a friend of tem perance, an earnest Christian, a woker in all acts of benevolence, and had great pride in his State and his own town, which will feel greatly the loss of so public spirited a citi zen. " Billy Carter" is gone, but has left a memory fragrant with kindness and good deeds. He trusted where he believed, and we have no cause to fear that for him the future is not such that the faith and works of a lifetime meest due reward. Willamette Farmer. There is no small number of persons t' roughout the State to whom it will be a shock to hear of the death of William B. Carter of Corvallis. State Printer and pub lisher of the Corvallis Gazette. The friend ship felt for Mr. Carter was as extensive as the acquaintance he possessed. Though a man of positive opinions, he had no enemies. While he never surrendered his convictions, he won respect for the courtesy with which he maintained them. He was a native of Springfield, 111., and crossed the plains in 1852 with B. R. Biddle of Corvallis. For many years he was a resident of Portland, being connected with the publication of the Pacific Chi istian Advocate. For the last twelve years he has been editor and pub lisher of the Cowallis Gazette. His age at the time of his deah was about forty-nine years. He leaves a memory untarnished by any act which, on quitting the world, he could have wished to blot. Oregonian. W. B. Carter, State Printer and editor of the Corvallis Gazette died very suddenly of neuralgia of the heart on Sunday last. Mr. Carter has been in ill health for a long time and lately returned from California where he went in hopes of benefitting his wasting energies. His death is a calamity to Ben ton county. For nuiny long years he has worked earnestly and faithfully for the growth and development of that portion of the State. His influence and services will not be forgotten by the people of Benton county, who honored and respected him for his moral worth and the many genial quali ties of an upright and noble character. A good man has fallen and it will be a difficult matter to hli hi3 place. Let us hope that the people's loss is his gain and that he has gone to a triumphant reward. Junction Republican. The sad news of the death of Mr. W. B. Carter,-editor of the Corvallis Gazette fell upon the people of this State last Monday. Mr. Oarter lias been snttcring trom ill health for several years, but now he has solved the great mystery, and is relieved from pain Mr. Uarter, at the time of his death, was State Printer, to which position he was elected two years ago. He was a man of strong conviction on all subjects, but had trie nappy tacuity ol maintaining His views without giving offense to those who differed with him ; in fact he knew what charity was. tor many years he has conducted the Gazette m a manner worthy of the consid eranon oi uregon journalists, tie leaves probably more warm personal friends than any other man in Oregon would. A wife and son mourn the loss of a kind, good, affectionate husband and father and the community a lamented citizen. Enterprisv. W. B. Carter, State Printer and publisher oi tne uazette, cued at Uorvallis last Sun day of heart disease. Mr. Carter came this State, from Illinois, in 1852, and has been connected with the newspaper business, al most steadily, ever since. He has been the publisher of the Corvallis Gazette for the past sixteen years. Mr. Carter was a man of Radical views for all things were regard ed by him as mattes of principle and not of policy. Nevertheless he was not arrogant and we know of no public man in the State that had fewer enemies or more friends than W. B. Carte. He was a live, public spirit ed citizen, zealous in everything be under took ; strictly temperate, though open hearted to a fault ; in fact a man among men a Christian. Western Star. On last Sunday morning Hon. W. B. Car ter, State Printer and editor of the Corval lis Gazetts, died at his home in Corvallis. He had been in failing health for months. but at last died suddenly from neuralgia of the heart. A good man has fallen, where can one be found to fill his place? In the ten years past when we have preached the Gospel in Corvallis he was, when in town, first at church, to see that everything was in order, and last to leave, making all secure. Though a Methodist in his affiliations, his broad, liberal spirit could be harui'88ert rtown by no sectarian bar riers; for he "perceived that God is no re specter of parsons ; but in every nation, he that feareth him and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him." That "he was a good man," is a better epitaph than that, "he was great,'' unless his greatness consist ed in goodness. In this sense, W. B. Carter was truly great. P. C. Messenger. By the death of W. B. Carter, Esq., which occurred at his home in Corvallis yesterday niorniug, Oregon loses as good a citizen as she has ever had. Having known him long and intimately, we may be pardoned by those less acquainted with him for saying that in private and public life he was the peer of any, in honor, integrity and truth-fulness--those great characteristics which go so far in making up true manhood. With the utmost charity for all, he was the un compromising opponent of wrong in every form. Faithful to his friends, he scorned to be unjust to his enemies, of whom he had as few as any man who had mingled as much as he in public affairs. During a residence of over a quarter of a century in Oregon, no man has ever laid a charge of dishonesty or even unfairness, at his door. Idolized al most by his family, loved by his friends and esteemed and respected by all who knew him well, he has passed away in the prime of life, mourned by hundreds. Portland Telegram. Since writing the letter concerning Ya quina Bay to be found in another part of this journal 1 have heard to my inexpressi ble sorrow of the death of the gentleman whose name I use.more than once in my let ter. I met W. B. Carter for the first time only a few mouths ago. The hearty and cheerful and cheering welcome which he ex tended to me, a stranger, lost nothing of its warmth when I parted with him one month ago to-day. If ever a kindly, gentle, gen erous, charitable soul dwelt in the breast of man such an one found a habitation with my dead friend. Much has been said in praise of the late W. B. Carter by his professional brethren in this State. Nothing has been overstated. Modert but firm, sincere and inflexible in his adherence to that which he believed to be right, those who knew him best will mourn him longest. He set an ex ample in his daily walk and life which others may follow with profit. He belong ed to that class of men of whom it has been said "Only the actions of the good and just. Smell sweet and blossom in theiiust" Peace to his ashes. His sorrowing friends will keep his memory Green. Albany Democrat. A. T. Hawley. We are sorry to learn of the sudden death on Sunday morning of W. B. Carter, of Corvallis, State Printer and editor of the Corvallis Gazette. Mr. Carter was a gen tleman of high moral standing in the com munity, respected and esteemed by all who knew him, and is an enterprising journalist was among the best in the State. He came to Oregon in an early day and has been con nected with journalism ever since, part of the time in Portland, and has for several years past been the editor and proprietor of the Corvallis Gazette, and the high standing of that paper is an evidence of his ability. He has beeu in poor health for sev eral years past and spent a part of the last winter in Lower California trying to recu perate. He was afflicted with neuralgia of the heart and his death was sudden and un expected. State Journal. In the'death of Hon. Wm. B. Carter, Benton county has lost one of her best citi zens, and Oregon journalism one of its truest and purest exponents. It would be hard to find another man so widely known in Ore gon, of whom the universal verdict would be, as it would of Carter, " He was a good man." Firm in his convictions of right, yet corteous and kind, never forgetting that he was a gentleman in the best sense of that word. Mr. Carter was universally loved and respected by all that knew him. But only those who came to know him well, ever knew how great and noble was the true heart he carried in his breast. We have never known a truer friend or a more gener ous foe. For very many years Mr. Carter was a member of the Methodist Church at Corvallis and there are many of the pas tors of the Oregon Conference who will not soon forget his true devotion to the Church and to every good work. For years he has been the nucleus around which the temper ance elements of Corvallis has gathered. Under his guidance the Gazette has been a canstant advocate of purity and right. His death will leave many places unfilled. We tender our sincere sympathy to his sorrow ing wife and family in this time of suffering. Christian Advocate. The announcement of the sudden death of W. B. Carter, State Printer and proprie tor of the Corvallis Gazette, which occur red on Sunday last, caused many expres sions of sorrow from the friends and ac quaintances of that gentleman. For several years he has been in ill health, but has been able to be about and attend to his duties during the greater portion of the time. On Sunday last he was taken suddenly ill and died in a short time, rheumatism of the heart being the cause. Mr. Carter has beeu the publisher of the Gazette for about fif teen years and during that time has labored incessantly for the interests of Benton coun ty, by the people of which he "was univer sally esteemed as a gentleman of integrity. In i878 he was elected State Printer on the Republican ticket, and the vote he received in his own county shows that he was a man best liked where he was best known. His funeral took place on Monday last, under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity, many" persons from Portland and other places be ing in attendance. Jtemizer. W. B. Carter, State Printer of Oregon as announced by an " extra" issued from this office last Sunday afternoon, died in Corval lis of heart disease on the 25th. Mr. Carter was one of Oregon's early pio neers, and came to this coast with the army of advance in behalf of progress. He was born in Illinois, and left that State for Ore gon in 1852. He was a printer by profes sion, and every member of the " craft" was his friend. Personally Mr. Carter was whom all men were pleased to meet with ; every where he was respected as an honest man and a gen tleman, and though he engaged once in poli tics, let it be said that it is a pity he did not live longer, an example of honesty for the benefit of others. As an editor, Mr. Carter was a pleasing writer, and no editor ever labored more per sistently for the promotion of local interests than did he while living. In his death the interests of Benton county lost one of their ablest advocates, and the people of that county its most faithful public servant. It must be truthfully written of the de parted that a good and noble man is gone. Douglas Independent. A sad event was anuouced on Sunday morliing last, April 25, 1880, an event, which will cause a heart-ache in the heart of every citizen of Benton county and State of Oregon, whenever their memory reverts to an acquaintance with W. B. Carter, whose sp.rit has passed to Hiin in whom he had an abiding faith. It is with sorrow and pain that we announce the death of our friend, whose admirable q nalities in tola there are few who possess. He was kind, agreeable, always gentlemanly in his deportment, charitable, ever ready to assist the needy, was a devout Christian, and to him the M. E. Church of this city is deprived of one of its strong supports. He had become en deared to the people of this county by rea son of his long and untiring advocacy of their interests through the columns of his journal, the Gazette, and the people of the State had shown their appreciation of him as an honorable and worthy person by elect ing him to the office of State Printer. The association of Mr. Carter and publishers of the Blade, as journalists have been of the most pleasant and agreeable nature, and by reason of the many kindnesses extended us by him, and by reason of his numberless ad mirable traits, we entertain a regret at his sudden demise which we could feel for but few. Benton Blade. " Death loves a shining mark." Before the dawn of Sunday morning last, at his home in Corvallis, all that was mortal of Wm. B. Carter had passed away. He had but re cently returned from California, where he had spent the winter, hoping to improve his health, and returned looking and feeling much improved. About five o'clock on Sat urday afternoon, after finishing his labors at his office, he repaired to his home, suffering somen hat, as he said, from rheumatism. He retired for the night at the usual hour, but about ten o'clock, we believe, he was attack ed by a severe pain in the foot, and physi cians were immediately sent for. The pain in the foot was very severe, and the untir ing efforts of two physicians only succeeded in removing it after sevetal hoars of untold suffering by the patient. When the pain left him, brother Carter was sitting up in the bed ; a moment afterward he fell back on his pillow, dead. And thus passed away one of Oregon's first and noblest citizens, a true Christian and a noble, honest man. Brother Carter possessed the respect and friendship of all who knew him, and he leaves a memory untarnished by a single act unworthy of an honest, upright man. He leaves, a -"ife and one son, to whom the almost counties friends of deceas ed unite in tendering their heartfelt sympa thies in the sad hour of their bereavement. Albany Register. On Sunday last the people of Salem wfere startled with the announcement of the sud den death of Hon. W. B. Carter, State Printer. Although it was well known that he had been for months in failing health, his death came at last with suddenness that was entirely unsuspected. He died at his home in Corvallis on Sunday morning of neuralgia of the heart. Mr. Carter, as will be remembered, was chosen the candidate of the Republican party for State Printer at their State Convention held at Salem two years ago. His nomination was ratined. at the polls in the succeeding election. The announcement of his death will be heard with profound sorrow by his thousands of friends throughout the State. He was one of Oregon's pioneers, coming to this coast from Illinois, his native State, in the year 1852. For many years he was connected with the office of the Prcific Ch istian Advo cate at Portland. For the past 12 years he has been the editor and proprietor of the Corvallis Gazette, which he has made one of the best of the valley papers. He was a man of excellent ability and of irreprocha ble character, one whose circle of friends included the whole circle of his acquain tances. An earnest, unflinching Republi can, some of his most devoted friends were of the Democratic faith, and, although a man who always had earnest convictions and one who was always ready to maintain them at any cost, he was one who always commanded the respect of his opponents. Out of respect for his memory the flags over the State House, the Statesman office and other buildings were displayed at half mast. Yesterday the State offices were all closed, and all of the State officials with their assistants visited Corvallis for the pur pose of ' attending the funeral. Salem Statesman. This accomplished gentleman and estima ble Christian, who has during years past held various oihees of trust has honored every situation with which he was connect ed. He has been a citizen of Benton coun ty for i any years, and was recognized as the chief proprietor and editor of the Cor vallis Gazette. As a business manager he sue leeded in sust ining his paper through storms as well as through calm and pleasant ness and often received assistance from those whose views were opposed tojhis. As an editor he was careful having a regard for the teachings of that Book which was writ ten before his pen flowed its eloquence. At the last State election he was elected State Printer. His work has passed favorably and he is one of those officials whose record is very clear. Last winter losing his health to a limited degree he took a trip to Califor nia. Returning a few weeks since he again assumed his editorial responsibilities until the time of his death. Many compliment ed the last number of the Gazette as being one of the be3t he ever edited. On last Sabbath morning he was caught with a pain which terminated in his heart and then stopped its beating; his soul took wings and flew to the company of that Ed itor whose writings he had followed. On Monday occurred his funeral which was at tended by the largest procession ever known in Corvallis. Philomath Crucible. On last Sabbath we were shocked by the sad news of the sudden death of our old friend W. B. Carter, State Printer, and editor of the Corvallis Gazette. Mr. Car--ter died from neuralgia of the heart, which undoubtedly resulted from overwork men tally, and from long continued ill health. We have known and honored W. B. Carter since our boyhood, and can truthfully say, a good man has gone to his rest. His funeral obsequies were conducted on Monday, at Hamilton's Hall, which was the only build ing in the city large enough to hold the vast assemblage of sorrowing friends. He was burried with the beautiful and impressive ceremonies of the A. F. and A. M., of which noble order he was an honored member ; and was followed to the cemetery by the Masons, in uniform, the various Fire Com panies of the city, the members of the Ty pographic Union, and by a large concourse of citizens, many of whom had been in al most constant association with him for the last twenty-five years. The religious ser vices were conducted by Rev. Dunning an:l Rev. A. Simpson, of the Presbyterian Church, Rev. J. W. York and Rev. W. T. Chapman of the M. E. Church, and Rev. Joseph Emery, of the M. E. Church South ; and was very impressive. Deceased leaves a wife and one son to mourn his loss ; yet they mourn not as those who have no hope ; for " He is not dead ; but gone before, To that unknown and silent shore, Where we shall meet, as heretofore, Some summer morning:." Independence River Side. The death of W. B. Carter, which took place at Corvallis yesterday, has produced universal regret among the somewhat ex tended acquaintance of the deceased. Sev eral .years ago, the dread scourge diphthera entered the family of Mr. Carter and car ried away three of four children. At the same time he was himself brought low with the disease, and though his constitution triumphed over it in a measure, his health has never been since restored. He has twice sought relief in the more genial climate of California, spending a number of weeks during the past winter in the vicinity of Los Angeles, returning but a short time ago without receiving the hoped for benefit. Mr. Carter was extensively known through out the State, both in his connection with journalism and politics. He was also a strong and practical temperance advocate, publishing the Corvallis Gazette in the in terests of the Order of Good Templars for several years. His election as State Printer by a handsome majority two years ago at tested his popularity as a man of practical experiance and unsullied integrity. Though possessed of positive principles, he was not of an aggressive nature, and preferred to de fend himself rather, by a steady record of integrity than by voluble retort when as sailed. He bad been a resident of Oregon since 1852, living for a number of years in this city, and holding a place on the pub lishing committee of the Pacific Christian Advo ate. Latterly, however, for a number of years Corvallis has been his home. Ihe Gazette, under his management, has grown to be a local necessity, reflecting ably the wants and wishes of the people of Benton county. He had for years been a member of the Methodist Church, and his influence was always thrown upon the side of morali ty and temperance. Portland Bee. It is with sorrow we are called upon to announce the death of W. B. Carter, State Printer, which occurred at his residence in Corvallis on Sunday morning. Mr. Carter came to Oregon from Illinois in 1852, in company of the Biddle and Cardwell fami lies, and took up his residence at Corvallis. He worked on the paper published at Eola, Polk county, the material on which it was published being subsequently removed to Corvallis. He held a situation for some time in this city on the Chriztian Advocate, and afterwards worked in the Occidental Messenger office at Corvallis. In 1865 he purchased the Gazette from T. B. Odeneal, and, with the exception of a year or two, has been its proprietor and editor. He has been in bad health ever since he lost three of his children by diphtheria, which disease he contracted and caught cold, which has had a tendency to hasten his death. He possessed a warm and generous nature, and was ever ready to relieve the sick and min ister to the comforts of his neighbors. While he was radical in the views he held on every question, religious, temperance and politics, he was by no means offensive, but allowed all men to enjoy their opinions, with the same freedom he claimed for himself. We knew Mr. Carter intimately ever since our advent into Oregon, and while opposed to him politically, there was no time when we did not entertain for him the highest regard and esteem. Mr. Carter was in partnershih in a farm near Corvallis with Mr. P. B. Cardwell of this city for many years; and the friendship of these twof men has ever Been closer and dearer than that oi a broth erMr. Carter went to nimri(ritt 1863, wherefWjras married, and leaves a ' ife and. one son".

T 1 1 J J J ome. l ucurau acanaara. PLATFORM. Resolved, By the republicans of Oregon in con vention assembled in the city of Portland, this 21st day of April, A. D., 1880, that we propose to maintain and administer the' affairs of government of this state by strict economy and faithful adherance to the con stitution and laws thereof and of the United Slates. 2. That we are in favor of regulating and equaliz ing the salaries of county and state officers so that they shall receive such compensations as are usually paid to private persons under like circumstances of service and responsibility. 3. That we favor a thorough revision and equaliza tion of our system of taxation, to the end that every species of property within its limits, whether owned or possessed by citizens of this or of foreign states, snail bear its equal proportion of the burdens of the government, wnicn protects it. 4. That we propose to maintain and enforce the I amendments to the constitution of the United States ' with all the powers of the national government, to the end that every citizen, poor or rich, black or white may be secured in the full enjoyment of civil and po litical rights. - 5. That the overthrow of the nhtanf tho wtlr. franchise of liberty and life, by which means free gov ernment in a portion of the states has been defeated, and the manifested fraud and threatened violence in others, together with attempted nullification of the laws of the general government and decisions of the supreme court thereon, by congressional action in the interests of the democratic party, are attempted rev olution and must be met as such. Applause. 6. That this is anation formed by the people there of and not a mere league or compact and that we reaf firm the idea of the unity of the nation the suprema cy of the national government in all matters placed by the constitution under its control the preservation intact of all the rights of municipal self-government otherwise guaranteed thereby to the people or to the states respectively. At the same time we arraign the doctrine of state sovereignty as the baleful mother of nullification, secession and anarchy. Applause. 7. That the recent action of the democratic party in state convention assembled, in denouncing the su premecourtof the United States of America and im puting the most unworthy and unpatriotic motives to that high and honorable court, is unworthy of law abiding, intelligent and patriotic American citizens, applause and directly tends to the loosening of the foundation of our government, the subversion of all law and the overthrow of the sanctity of a system of judicature, venerable with age and perfected by wis dom. Applause. 8. That the attempt by the leaders of the demo cratic party to defraud ths people of the state out of an electoral vote, was an outrage unparalleled in the political history of -the state, which together with the Maine infamy and the attempt to unseat members in the halls of congress for base partisan advantage, de serves the condemnation of all fair minded men. Tremendous applause.J 9. That we condemn the outrageous conduct of our democratic state administrations from 1870 to 1878, their extravigance, their corruption and their pecula tions. 10. We deprecate the course of members of the democratic party who have undertaken to revive sec tional animosity for the purpose of securing political ascendancy in the southern states and who have reviv ed memories of sectional strife by the defiant declara tion of a purpose to reeal laws made necessary by the war and enacted to secure the results of the war ; and we condemn their attempts to secure by legisla tion what was not accomplished by arms, namely, the establishment uuder the name of state sovereignty of those pernicious doctrines which destroy national su premacy and which in part have led to secession and civil war. Applause 11. That to. the republican party is due the credit of successful resumption and restored prosperity and business revival, and we insist that the Doner and coin circulation of the country shall at all times be main tained at par with the gold standard of the commercial worm. Applause j 12. That while we arc in favor of a revenue for the support of the general government by duties upon imjjorts, sound policy requires such adjustment of im port duties as to encourage the development of the in dustrial interests of the whole country, and we com-. menu that policy oi national exchange which secures to the working man liberal wages, to agriculture remu nerative prices, to mechanics and manufacturers an adequate reward for their ski 11. labor and enterprise. and to the nation commercial prosperity and indc- penrtencc. 13. That we are in favor of judicious appropriations by the general government for the improvement of our rivers and seaports, as well as for the construction of such lines of railway communication as will develop the resources of the country ana connect our state with other part3 of the union, under such restrictions as will amulv protect the rights of the people from un just discrimination and extortionate charges ;andthat the same by the government to the people at the lowest price for public lands, giving the proceeds only to the corporations. , 14. That we demand of our representation in con gress their best endeavors to secure just and judicious appropriations and favorable legislation by the general government for the free navigation of the Columbia and the rivers of the state, the improvement of the mouth of the Columbia Riid the haroors at xaquina and Coos Hays, the location of a harbor of refuge at the point along our coast most available to the interests of commerce, the extension of the public surveys to meet the wants of our increasing population and aid and assistance to railroads, and the opening up for set tlement such of our Indian reservations as the inter est of civilization demands and necessitates. 15. That we demand a modification of the treaty with China so as to restrict Chinese immigration to America. Applause. 10. That we hold that a well instructed people alone can bs perfectly free, and that it is therefore es sential that the public schools should lie maintained so that every child shall be instructed in the duties of citizenship and the ordinary business vocations of life.
