When tho electric lights, bad been turned out so as to permit the stero-electricnl views being exhibited, f.hpju hoodlums, stationed at different points jlu the gallery amused them selves by shooting Bits of tea lead and other missels at the lecturer by means of a small rubber. Not only were they content with Interrupting the speaker but also annoyed the audience to a great extent- Such performances nre varv small business for Salem youths and a lesson should be made of the participants should they be appro-hended. REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. The representatives ot the Republicans of the state of Oregon in convention assembled, call attention to the condition of industry throughout the country, as a proof of the necessity of returning to the policy of the Re publican party under which there was general prosperity during thirty years. Wo reaffirm the principles of the Repuhit can national platform ol 1892, and assit that the remits that have followed the change de creed by the election of that year have justi tied our protest against the national policy adopted by the Democratic party. We believe that the government should have an ample revenue, with a sufficient sur plus over ordinary expenditures to provide for coast defences, fur the steady building up of the navy, and for the constant reduction of the public debt We believe that the present tatill", with its loweied rates and its destruo. live and dishonest system of undetvaluitions and discriminations as to localities, shnald he replaced by one framed on protective princi ples similar to that of the McKinley bill anil arranged to give ample protection to Ameri can wages and American industry, and to re store the reciprocity policy 01 James G. lllainc. We have always civen protection to our shipbuilders. In late ears we havu neglected to protect our shipowners. We believe tlio time has come to totoro to the policy of nasMncton and Hamilton, which, by uls criminating duties in favor of American but toms, secured 90 per cent ol our carrying trade to American hip. nnd which, If now restored, would anaiii revive our shippini! and cause Ameiican freights to be paid to Ameri. cans. The American people, from tradition and Interest, favor bimctalisin, and the Republi can party demands the use of both gold and silver as standard money with such icstrict ions and under such provisions to be determ ined by legislation, as will secure the main, tenance of the parity of values of the two metals, 1.0 that the purchasing and debt-paying power of the dollar, whether of silver, gold or paper, shall be at all times equal, Tho Interest of the producers of the country Its farmers and its workingruen demand that every dollar, paper or coin, issued hy the government shall be as good as any other dollar. Resolved, That we earnestly endorse the proposed amendment to the constitution of the united states, providing lor the election of United States senators by popular vote, recently reported from the committee on privileges and elections by Senator Mitchell and now pending consideration In the United State Senates. Resolved, That tho application of the Ore- con delegation In congress to the president of inc unucu amies nnu now pcnuiug uciuic him. praying a modification of his procla matlon creating the Cascade forest reserve, is hereby earnestly approved, and we appeal to the president to grant the prayer 01 our ueic catlon in concress. We realize the Importance and magnitude of the fishing Industry on the Columbia river and would recommend that some provisions be made for a state hatchery for artificial propagation, and that the laws reculating the closed season be rigidly enforced. That wc endorse the efforts ol our repre sentatives In congress to secure repayment to the settlers of Oregon of the excess of $1.25 per acre wrongfully collected by the governt menton lands located in the limits of the unearned Northern Pacific railroad land gran now forfeited. The construction ol the Nicaragua canal Is of the highest importance to the American people, both as a measure 01 national deiense and to build up and maintain American com merce. It Is moreover of special Importance to our Pacific states and we demand its completion as speedly as possible by the government of the United States, Wo hereby endorse the action of our sena tors and representatives in congress in their endeavor to secure grants of pensions to Indian war veterans. We pledge the Republican! party to a rigid economy in the expenditure of public money; to the reductlou of excesslvo salaries; and the abolishment of the fee system whenever possible, and of all useless commissions; and believe that no appropriation should be made to any school or charitable institution not under the control of the state; and oppose the incorporation into the general appropriation bill of items for the expenditure ol public money not authorized by law. We demand the enactment of rigid restrict ions on foreign immigration, both for protection of our country against illiterate and vicious clauses from foreign lands and for protection of our labor and preservation to our own people of the remainder of our national domain. We commond the policy of the Republican party in relation to internal improve ments, and In particular in opening our waterways to commerce, and we denounce the llllberality of Democratic party in these m portant matters. Respectfully submitted, T. E. Feix, Sou IIirscii, Secretary. Chairman A HARD-WORKING WOMAN sooner or later suffers from backache, nervous, worn-out icciwks, or a sense of weight in the abdomen, drag ging down sensations and dizziness. It win all come to an end with Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescrin. tion for it's wo man's special rnnle and ner. vine; it restores her strength, reg ulates nnd tiro. motes all the natural functious and makes a new woman or ner. uterine acuimy, w regularity and inflammation are most of ten the cause of the. extreme nervousness and irritability of some women the medi cine to cure it is the "Prescription" of Dr. Pierce.
