THE KENTUCKY CONTEST.
The senatorial contest in Kentucky,
says the Spokesman-Review bids fair to
become as memorable as the famous
. ontePt in Illinois which resulted in the
election of General John A. Logan" twelve
yearsago. In the Kentucky struggle
between Blackbnrn and Hunter sjxty-
nine votes are necessary 10 a enwee.
. The ballot yesterday showed eixty-seren
for Hunter (Rep.) to fifty-eight for
Blackburn (Dem.), 11 scattering.
In the contest above alluded to the
legislature of Illinois was a tie on joint
ballot, there being 102 Republicans and
102 Democrats. This made an election
on party lines impossible unless death
or treachery intervened to change the
situation. John A. Logan was the only
Republican candidate. William R. Mor
rison. now chairman of tho interstate
commerce commission, was the Demo
cratic candidate until toward the close
of the contest when the name of Judge
Lambert 'free, now minister to Russia,
was substituted. The first incident
which served to break the monotonous
routine of a daily ballot was In the
death of a Democratic senator, who had
become demented a short time before
his death, but was permitted to vote up
to his last hour. Next a Republican
. member of the house, a relative of Lo
gan, fell dead while ascending the stair
way to the joint assembly. His suc-
' cesser was a Republican.. Following
. this a Democratic representative died
suddenly. His district had always been
overwhelmingly Democratic. By a
'skillfully managed campaign, known as
"a still hunt," the Republicans elected
their candidate, which broke the dead
lock of three months' duration and gave
the Republicans 103 to tbe Democrats
101, and Logan was elected.
In Kentucky the situation is almost
identical. The Democrats have sixty
ight and tbe Republicans have sixty
eight. In addition to these there are
two Populists. One will vote with the
Republicans' and the other with -the
Democrats. Already one Democrat haa
died. He will be succeeded by another,
without doubt. This will restore tbe
status, provided a national senator is
not elected before tbe.special election is
held. Tbe law requires a daily ballot to
be taken in the joint assembly until
senator is elected. To prevent aa elec
tion of senator until the successor of the
dead member of the bouse is seated the
Democrats are compelled to refrain from
Toting in joint assembly, as the Repub
licans can not muBterthe necessary ma-J
jority. In the case of electing a United
States senator, those present who refuse
to vote can not be counted to make a
quorum, sb the law governing the elec
tion of United States senators expressly
says : "A majority of all the members
elected to both houses being present and
voting." In this case the Reed rules do
not apply. The outcome of this contest
is waited with deep interest.
"A TRIUMPH FOR FREE WOOL."
The exports of our woolen manufac
tured goods during the eleven months
ending November 30, amounted to $685,
898, against $676,740 in the correspond
ing eleven months of 1894. It cannot,
therefore, be doubted that our woolen
mills are now doing better than they
cave done. .
This is a great triumh for free wool,
which the Wilson tariff gave the coun
try. N. Y. Herald, January 11, 1896.
Mr. James Gordon Bennett's un Amer
ican paper shows that our exports of
American woolen goods were $9,158 more
during eleven months of protection to
wool in 1894. This may, indeed, be re
garded as "a great triumph for free
wool," an increase of $33 per working
day in the output of all American woolen
mills, 2,500 in number; or an average of
of 13 cents added to the value of the
daily.output of each mill, half of which
goes to labor, so that 6 cents per ay
could be divided among 155,657 wage
earners as the direct result of the "great
triumph for free wool." ' . ,
We have not deducted the increased
woolen imports which, last year, from
the United Kingdom alone reached $19,
000,000 more than in 1894, without any
figures from Germany or France, where
. Mr. Bennett's partisan friends are un
doubtedly drinking success to American
Iree trade. s
The loss of $19,000,000 of our woolen
trade meant an average loss of- $7,600 in
; the output of each and every one of our
Woolen mills :. last year, to be charged
against the increased 13 cents worth of
'business per woolen mill per day ac-
quired through the capture of additional
markets of the world. ; ;
We believe that Mr. Bennett's state-
ment that "It cannot, thereiore De
doubted that our woolen mills are now
doinir better than thev have done" is
slightly at variance with the truth,
Thesareanlta. however, certainly show

THE NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.
The first of the regular national dele
gate conventions for the' nomination of
candidates for president and vice-presi-denfrwere
held in 1831 and 1832, to put
up candidates for the election whi?h
took place in the latter year.. The anti
Masonic party, the first of the "third"
parties which have figured in national
politics, was the earliest organization to
adopt this system. It made its nomina
tions in a convention which met in Bal
timore, September 26, 1831, and put up
William Wirt for president. The great
parlies of the day at once adopted the
system. In New York, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey at as earlier date 'the
germ of this plan was seen in operation.
but tbe system was not adopted on a
national scale until the campaign of
1832. Previous to that time Presiden
tial nominations were made by caucuses
of tbe parties' members of congress, by
expressions of preference by the parties
representatives in the legislatures, or by
common consent. TbeEe are the open
ing and closing dates, the meeting places
and the candidates of tbe Democratic
national conventions :

The Charleston convention of 1860
split sectionally without making a nomi
nation, and each faction afterward put
up a candidate in Baltimore. Stephen
A. Douglas being nominated " in the
gathering in which the northern end of
the party was predominant, and John C
Breckinridge in the one in which the
Southern element was in control. , Thia
is why three national conventions of the
Democratic party appear in the table in
1860. Two conventions appear in 1872,
but tbe first was a liberal Republican
gathering, which nominated the ticket
that the Democrats two monthB later in
dorsed. The following are the dates,
meeting places and candidates of the Re
publican national conventions from the
beginning :

Governor Lord's promptitude in re
sponding to an eastern newspaper's in
quiry as to the numerical strength of
the state militia was no less remarkable
than is his tardiness in answering the
query of about a score of Oregon news
papers as to why he does not call a spe
cial session ot the legislature. His ex
cellency seems to be more interested in
Cuba's straggle for freedom from Span
ish rule than in Oregon's appeal for re
lief from oppressive taxation. Evening
Telegram.
This is lively imagination. Governor
Lord is not more interested in the Cuban
insurgents than in Oregon's appeal for
relief from oppressive taxation ; but he
does not call an extra session because he
knows that outside of the political ring-
sters in Portland and a few of their hire
lings in other parts of the state, no one
wants an extra . session. We would
rather let bad enough

Wheat Is Taking a Rise.
The Dalles wheat market is strength
ening along with the markets in other
places. Since last week the price has
risen from 45 cents to 52 cents, which
figure is the quotation given out today
Tbe trading is light, most of the farm
era having sold earlier in the fall, when
the rise in price was problematical
There is not much wheat in the ware
houses at present and the roads a.e in
that condition which niakesbanling im
possible. Those who all along have
nrorjheRitri that the nrice in The Dalles
would reach 50 cents have the pleasure
J of seeing their judgment proved correct,
as two cents above that figure was given
as tbe quotation at thb Wasco ware
house this morning. It can be depend
ed upon that The Dalles market will
pay the highest price for wbect, as it
does for wool, in Eaatern Oregon. The
market is in such a feverish condition
that it is dangerous to hazard any guess
as to what is to louow. The present
rise is due, buyers say, to a demand for
milling purposes. ' Through the agency
of the Rattlesnake road, the Sherman
county people are getting tbe benefit of
tbe rise, as 50 cents have been offered
at Biggs. ,
The Commercial Review has furnished
Thb Chbonicdk with the following
statement of the condition in Portland ;
Tbe course of tbe wheat market dur
ing tbe weeK under review was ot a
favorable character to holders, and a
moderate business was done in Walla
Walla wheat, at a material advance
over prices ruling a short time ' ago,
Most of the recent transactions were
made in the interior, the spot market
showing few Bigns of activity. Prices
have advanced fully four cents per cent
al over the preceding weeV. Sales of
Walla Walla have been reported on tho
basis of $1.04 here for milling account.
While the export demand indicates no
pressure, to buy, yet shippers are in the
market at advanced Quotations, and keen
in line with the rise in values abroad.!
The inquiry from England for prompt
shipment cargoes has at no time been
what could be called active, yet it ia an
improvement over the marked inactivity
prevailing during the closing months of
last year. At the East wheat was very
active, accompanied, at times by sharp
fluctuations. The general appearance
of tbe market is favorable to a general
advance in values, which, however,
muat necessarily be slow, as the heavy
visible supply in all countries does not
justify any Bhort supplies, and it would
be well for holders to canvass the situa
tion throughout and not place their ex
pectations toq high. Receipts of wheat
the past week were small, owing to
severe snow storms. Shipments foreign
were 79.000 centals.' Exporters' bids
for Walla Walla wheat here are 56 cents
per buahel, and for valley o cents.
EASTERN MARKETS.
There was considerable interest mani
fested in the leading eastern markets
the past week the volume of business
was larger. The receipt of grain at the
leading distributing centers was fairly
liberal, though not so large as during the
nrst few weeks of this year. Unerings
at interior points were fair. The move
ment of grain eastward from Chicago
was quite liberal and widely distributed,
largely to manufacturing and milling
sections. In the speculative markets,
the wheat market was of an active na
ture at times, and the market closes
higher than ft week ago. It looked at
one time that the market would get so
bullish that prices might go materially
higher, owing to disturbances in Europe.
The Chicago wheat market has been
very strong during the past week, sell
ing up to within a shade of 62 cents, and
promises good returns to investors at
present prices. The heavy traders, such
as (Judaby and Jfardridge, have been
buying liberally and are not afraid of
expressing their bullish convictions.
SAN FRANCISCO MARKETS.
Shipping wheat has been in aotive de
mand, and while at times rumors were
of a weakening nature in the tone of the
market, holders were totally indi Keren t
and were backward in making offerings.
That the exporters want wheat is beyond
all question, but every effort is being
put forth to keep values from advancing,
and if possible to effect temporary de
clines, in order to fill all advantaeeous
prices. Tbe demand from Australia ia
assuming larger proportions than was
anticipated, and judging -from recent
crop reports from that locality, there
will be quite a liberal inquiry for some
time to come. Shippers are buying in
the interior wherever possible, in fact
they are paying higher prices propor
tionately than tbe ruling rates in this
market. From a statistical point of
view, and taking all trade conditions
into consideration, the outlook appears
very favorable to holders. On the other
band, shippers do not view it so hope
fully, but whether this is due to per
sonal desires for low prices or otherwise,
cannot be determined. -

Tbe Honor of Being; First.
The one question which' lies deepest
in the minds of the people of this city
and of. the country whose river port it
is, is, "When will tbe locks at the Cas
cades -be finished?" Although it may
not be talked about upon all occasions,
yet there is hardly any citizen who, in
his leisure moments, does not turn this
matter over in bis mind and wonder if
it is true, after all these years of wailing,
of disappointment and hope deferred
till almost gone this great undertaking
is really to be accomplished, and the
waters of the Columbia, figuratively
speaking, will flow unfettered tJ tbe
sea. March 1st, the day which seems to
be agreed upon as the time for the in
formal opening of tbe locks, is but a
short while removed, and a little pa
tience will determine whether or not tbe
contractors have made their word good.
A little clipping from the Stevenson
Pioneer says : -; ,.
It is given out for a fact that the locks
will be so far completed as to a'low the
passage of boats by the first day of
March, and the cities of Astoria and
The Dalles are preparing to celebrate
the event in great Bhape. There will be
big excursions from both these places,
and probably from many other points,
to see tbe first boat pass through the
channel. Our own beautiful Regulator
is to havethe honor of being the first
boat to make the passage, and for a little
while the middle river will be without
a steamboat, for the first time ia just
forty yearB. All this is good news, and
we hope it will come to pass without
any further delay. We have been dis
appointed so many times about the
completion' of tbe canal and locks that
we are always afraid to make a state
ment regarding their completion at a
certain date lor fear it will amount to
only another disappointment.
The Pioneer has been wrongfully in
formed as to the Regulator ' being the
first boat to pass through the locks. A
director of The Dalles, Portland & As
toria Navigation Company informed
Chronicle reporter today ' that the
Dalles City would receive the. honor of
being first, and it is fitting that she
should. For four years this staunch
boat has steamed through tbe turbulent
waters to tbe foot of - tbe locks and
stopped at the obstructions, not then
removed. She has knocked at the door
so often that it would be unfitting to let
another enter first. ' Besides,. the people
of Tbe Dalles would rather take no
risks. We are not caring to have this
river free from boats, even for once in
forty years. We would rather be sought
than seeking, and after other boats have
reached the middle river, we are willing
to let the Regulator pass through the
locks.
The day that the locks are opened will
be a time of rejoicing such as never was
seen in Eastern pregon before.
Political Gossip.
Political gossip is beginning to appear
in the state papers. It is yet too early
for candidates to be announcing their
intentions, and the imagination of news
paper men has a full field for its exer
cise. An Eastern Oregon paper says
that A. S. Bennett of The Dalles may
possibly be the Democratic nominee for
tbe supreme court. This, however, we
think unlikely, as Judge Bennett has
been a candidate for that position twice
already and the chances for electing a
democrat to tbe supreme court are no
better now than they were two or four
years ago. The Tribune says that there
is a mild suspicion that Judge Charles
IL Carey of Portland could be prevailed
upon to take an active part in the con
gressional fight in the First district.
Whether or not this may be so, Mr.
Ellis will not be without competitors
that will make the contest in the con
vention interesting. It is about time
that John C. Leasnre was arising to an
nounce that he would make a good con
gressman. Mr. Leasnre, alter moving
to Portland, seems to have been lost in
the political shuffle.
From now till -convention time there
will be abundant opportunities to make
and unmake candidates with the rapid
ity of a kaleidoscope. ,

Good Words for The Dallas.
The Dalles is becoming known as a
city of a steady, substantial growth,
which, however bright its past has been.
has a still more propitious future. The
resources and advantages with which
this place is blessed have been utilized
to but a small degree, and with the re
turn of material prosperity to the conn
try, and the influx of capital and people
to tbe Northwest which, conditions are
coming as sure as the change of seasons
The Dalles will make great strides in
wealth, population and : commercial ,
power. D. C. Ireland, who as a resi
dent of this and other cities, baa ob
served tbe conditions necessary to prom
ise of. growth, has, in the last issue of
the Observer, these words to say of The
Dalles:. . ...;..
Considerable is said about the possi
bilities of growth at Tbe Dalles in the
near future. With a country back of it
surpassing rich in natural resources, yet
in the experimental ' stage of develop
ment ; with a water power superior to
Minneapolis, we expect The Dalles to
develop more within the next decade
than Minneapolis has since 1860. AH it
needs is liberal views, fraternization
and consistency.
ia Our Great Grandfather's Time,'
big bulky pills were in
general use. Like the
DiunaerDuss ot
that decade they
were big and clum
sy, but ineffec
tive. In this cent
ury of enlight
enment, we have
Dr. Pierce's
.Pleasant Pel
lets, which
cure all liver,
stomach and
bowel derange
ments in tne)
most effective
way.
Assist Nature
little now and then, with a gentle. ,
cleansing laxative, thereby removing of
fending matter from the stomach and
bowels, toning up and invigorating the
liver and quickening its tardy action. - .
and you thereby remove the cause of a
muiuiuae or. distressing diseases, sucn as
headaches, indigestion, or dyspepsia, -biliousness,
pimples, blotches, eruptions, .
boils, constipation, piles, fistulas and
maladies too numerous to mention.
If people would pay more attention to
properly regulating the action of their
bowels, they would have less fre
quent occasion to call for their doctor's
services to subdue attacks of dangerous
diseases.
That, of all known agents to accom-
?lish this purpose, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
ellets are unequaled, is proven by the
fact that once used, they are always in
favor. Their secondary effect is to keep
the bowels open and regular, not, to fur
ther constipate, as is the case with other .
pills. Hence, their great popularity,
with sufferers from habitual constipation,
piles and indigestion.. .
A free sample of the " Pellets," (4 to 7
doses) on -trial, is mailed to any address,
post-paid, on receipt of name and address
on postal card.
