It wa after 10 o'clock when the plat
form wa reported and, fortunately for
thiwe who were in a hurry, it wa Imme
diately adopted a a whole aa read. It
called for a rlrculatinit medium etjual to
f-'H) per capita, land for all our people and
not (or alien, demanded that the ifovcrn
meiit own and owrate the railway, that
the railway comiuiion lie aboliahed and
a maximum rate law punned rcducmK
chaw one-third from prewnt rates, that
telephone and telegraph lie owned and
opratetl by the K"verniuent, that the
Columhia river he improved and a mil-
way parallel with that Htream lie run at
cot I y the trove rnnieut, that all national
revenue lie ralaed hy InlereHt of two er
cent, on all money loaned by the govern
meiit and a graduated proerty tax, that
no exemption for indehtednena be al
lowed unleaa the party diiiming it re
Kirt acorreajiouding taxable credit, that
alcohol be aohl only by atute agenti and
that Hitloon lealMillHheil. The platform
declared In favor of eipml aulTraKe,
against Chinee, In favor of the state
publiahing Rchool IkxiU, that county olll
cial should lie aid regular aahtrie, that
eight hour coimtituto a day's work, that
the Knight of Labor lalel lie recognized,
that no government aid lie given the Nic
aragua ca mil utile it own and operate
that waterway, and it alo declared un
alterable opKitlon to Pinkerton or any
other similar detectives. It favored the
election of all ofllcera by direct vote of
the people and wanted the government
to recompenau the old soldiers by paying
the dilToronce lietween the current and
the gold value of the money in which they
were paid during the war. The platform
was adopted with a yell and a vote of
thanks given the committee.
Then the two congreaionaI conven
tions got into a snarl by trying to hold
separate meetings under the same chair
man. Two or three times a motion to
adjourn was lout on a deviaion of the
houae Once the second district re
solved to adjourn anyway but it gave up
the idea when it found that there was a
lot of general hiiincHS still to be trans
acted. Finally the trl district got to an
informal ballot for congressman but It
was too much mixed to be worth any
thing. Then the formal nominations of
M. V. Rork and 8. II. Holt were made
and a ballot resulted in favo7 of the for
mer sixty-five to thirty.
It was 11 o'clock but Burleigh, the
bunchgraHS orutor from Wallowa who
had been discovered the previous even
ing, was called out for a speech. Rork
then was called for and he pulled out
the trnmolo stop in his voice and ex
preH.ed bis appreciation of the honor
conferred upon him, and aked and
obtained permission to substitute Mr.
Holt if he should from any cause fall
during tho campaign. Then a motion
to adjourn was recklessly carried with a
whoop, Holt making his remarks as
the sleepy delegates were edging toward
the door.
Thursday foronoon J.C I.tice of Grant
county was nominated hy tho second
district for congress and Punham
Wright of Umatilla lot supremo judge.
J. M. Archibald of Columhia was nomi
nated for circuit judge in tho filth circuit
hut he declined tho nomination leaving
the place vacant. The convention is in
session at tho time of going to press.
