Celebrating .Victories.
This afternoon Is being spent in
celebrating. Delegates and visitors
are cheering for the nominees. Many
leaders are so tired that they went to
their hotels to rest. , There Is a gen
eral feeling of satisfaction among the
republicans over the result. All lll
feellng; is being forgotten. The In
diana delegates, however,' have not
recovered from the resentment at the
whtla he was nominating Fairbanks.
The Wisconsin delegation Is also In a
bad humor over the failure of the res
olutions committee to put up a more
radical platform. They speak of Rep
resentative Cooper as the hero In jthe
minority report and fighting for it on
the floor. The vice-presidential can
didates who retired are Hammond and
Knight, Dolllver and Cummins. All
express confidence In the ticket.'
. Congressman ' Martin Olmstead of
Pennsylvania, said: With - the Taft
Sherman ticket in the flold his state
would give the republicans a majority
of half a million. New Yorkers say
It. will be a hard fight In their state
this fall, the democrats claiming they
will carry the state by a big majority
as a result of the dissension In the re
publican ranks. v
are In tho way.
The amount of money brought down
by Mr. Stevens Is very satisfactory.
Indeed, considering tho fnct that the
mine Is only In tho way of being open
ed. The r.nlnboiv claim, upon which
they are BIho working, gives Indica
tions of being one of the best placet
properties In eastern Oregon, and on
June 7, the men uncovered a four
foot led;e that looks good to the ex
perienced miner. Mr. Stevens Is tak
ing samples of the ore with him u.
Portland, where he will go Tuesday
morning for a visit'. with his family,
and will have several assays made. .

leges that the petition asking for an
election on the prohibition question
was signed by 543 legal voters of the
county, and that at the election In
1904 the total vote cast for Justice
of the supreme court of the state was
3030. Consequently, that the petition
was signed by more than 10 per cent
of the vote for supreme Judge cast at
the preceding election. )

allegations separately, denied each
and every ono, and asked the court to
set asldo the temporary Injunction.
The district attorney set out tho
fact that while the complaint alleges
that the original petition was not le
gal. It failed to stipulate In what par.
tlcuiar It was In error, Ho also took
the position that the validity of tho
petition could not be raised after the
election. -
N He held that the court's order to
place the local option question on tho
ballot was regular and legal.
The district attorney further set up
the fact that the notices were actu
ally posted and that the ' complaint
does not allege that all waji Irregular,
only. In some particular precincts.
The attorney went on to take th
position that owing to tho fact that
ever vote cast In the disputed pre
cincts for and ngalnst, only numbers
134, and that these 134 votes could
be thrown out and still have a ma
jority for local option of 656.
He further hejd that the complaint
did not sen out thjt the .plaintiff lost
any rights by the fact that t!i notices
were not pouted ns alleged.
Numerous authorities were cited.
At 2:35 he closed his opening argu
ment. .

Attorney H. F. Wilson of Union,
who appeared for tho plaintiff, 'own
ed by stating that It would require
some evidenc e before the .court could
dlHKolvi. thn Injunction, lu faro of Ihe
general allegation of the complaint.
Ilo then alleged that the county court
made tlx? order to place the qejilon
on the ballot without Jurisdiction.
There wss no allegation in either
complaint or reply that the county
clerk had ever I m tied the order. The
ph.lntlff alleged .that the clerk C. not
officially issue these notices and de
liver them to the sheriff.
The plaintiff was apparently spar
ring for time. He went on to affirm
lhat the allegation in the complaint
were sufficient lo cnuse the court to
make an Investigation of the facts
and allegations set by submlMion of,
evidence.
