Hy reference to a notice elsewhere In this issue of the Gazette it will be seen that the co-partnership of Craig & Conover, publishers, has been dis solved, the former retiring from the firm. It, therefore, becomes necessary to complete a settlement 6f accounts, and all persons knowing themselves indebted to the above firm will please settle at an early date. Mr. Conover will continue the business in the future, and . respectfully solicits the generous patronnge which the office has had bestowed upon it during the past. Mrs. Q. A. Grubbe, nominated by the democrats for county school super intendent, declines to accept the nom ination and will not make the race. Oregonian. Mrs. Grubbe has evi dently'fciscovered that if she should be elected she would be unable to qualify for the office of school superintendent, which is probably the cause of her res ignation Robert P. Porter, superintendent ef the census, thinks the work will be so promptly done this year that he will be able to announce by August 1 how many of us compose the population. I Six hundred clerks will be employed in Washington, and electrical enumera ting machines that will do more work in five hours than was formerly done in fifty. The total land grants made by the TJnited States for educational purposes during the first century of its exis tence amount to over 80,000,000 acres, or 125,000 square miles, a territory greater than the area of Great Britain and Ireland, and equal to one-half the area of France. It is estimated that there are now 150,000 Protestant. Sabbath schools, meeting every Sunday in the United States. These have l,300,000 teach- era and officers, and have about 10, 000,000 pupils. This is a gain of 50 per cent, in the last twelve years, and there are yet 11,000,000 children to be reached. A PENJVOYER TICKET. rf- The democrats had a good time in their state convention held in this city yesterday. Democrats generally do have good times in their state conven tions. They seem to enjoy fighting imong themselves as thoroughly as does a n&tive Irishman in wielding his s mlaly at a county fair. Democrats always take advantage of conventions to display their enthusiasm for and ap proval of the principles of their party and the candidates on their ticket. It is so seldom they have an opportunity to do this after the election is over the most appropriate time that they make use of the mominating conven tion to unburden themselves. - The convention Wednesday was no exception to the rule. Those demo crats who could not supply the natural enthusiasm resorted to artificial meth ods until there was not one in the con vention but was ready to yell at the top of his voice whenever an occasion pre sen ted itself.. The tiokat nominated was forecast months ago that is, all there reallv is to the ticket the governor. The democratic party in . this state for months has been a Pennoyer party Wednesday's convention was a Pen noyer convention, and the ticket it has presented is a Pennoyer ticket. The other candidates on the ticket are in significant and will attract but little notice during the campaign. The- fight will be for Pennoyer, and when defeat overtakes this ticket in June it will not be the democratic party that has been defeated, but Governor Pen noyer. The feeling that was manifested for Governor Pennoyer in the convention must have been gratifying indeed to that gentleman it ' could not have been otherwise were he the most ognish republican. The devotion shown was touching in the extreme, and must have forced Liai to realize more than ever how thoroughly he is the democratic party of Oregon. Even that over.fat and bloated idol of the free traders, Grover Cleveland, would have been stung by jealousy had he been present to witness the demonstra tions. But if Governor Pennover's deas are those of the democracy of this state, then he is in every way de serving of such devotion, for no one will say that he has not endeavor ed to faithfully carry them out. The platform adopted will cut no figure in the campaign, whatever. It was merely constructed to give Gov ernor Pennoyer some sort of a footing during his canvass. A large portion of the democrats of the state wilt not read it; they probably would not under stand it if they did. All they desire to know is that Pennoyer . has been re-nominated, and they don't care a snap who his associates are, or what principles are sec forth in the platform.. Upon the whole, the convention yesterday was a satisfactory one. The democrats are pleased w;th the nomin ations made, and the republicans have manifested a desire for some time to retire Governor Pennoyer to private life. They now have the opportunity and will take advantage of it. Tele gram.- Last Saturday W. F. Paul finished the job of sanding the front and paint ing L. G. Kline's new house. It is a model job. - There are two main reasons why the democratic state ticket should not be successful in Tune. One is that they have a mighty poor ticket, com paratively, and the other is that they have a poorer platform. Robert A. Miller, for congressman,, is a nice young man, and has a good voice; but he would rattle around awfully in Her mann's seat. We all know Pennoyer: and we all know D. P. .Thompson. Nobody knows Win. M. Townsend, for secretary of state; but there is no danger of so good and competent a man as Geo. W. McBride being defeat ed by such a party on such a platform, even by a gentleman of recognized popularity and ability. Geo. W. Webb would make a good treasurer if it were not for about 5000 extra re publican votes Phil Metschan will get. No one expects to beat R. S. Bean for supreme judge with B. F. Bonhani, of India. We have had enough preach ers in politics in Oregon. The Rev. A. Leroy, of Linn, will not get within shooting distance of Prof. E. B. Mo Elroy for superintendent of public in struction. The people are satisfied with Frank C. Baker for state printer. His majority will be. large. Statesman. Salem is going to have a $71,000 steel bridge.. What is Corvallis going to do? A list has already been startod,. headed with a. subscription of $500 for a bridge across the river here.
