Career or Thoinan If. Tongue.
Thomas II. Tongue, who bail attained
stale prominence long belore be became
a National figure, was born in England
on June 'S.i, 1844. His parents were
Anthony and Retecca (l,awso) Tongue
ami he wkh their only ciild. He was
educated in Kngland until hia 15th year,
when his ptreiits emigrated directly to
Washington County, Oregon, where they
located on a tarm several miles north of
fiilltthoro, where the parents yet reside.
V o n i , H Tout-lie hud hud fairlv uood ad
vantages in the English schools and as
m 'en aa be arrived in Hill.-huro he work
ed iiicesNuntly to give himself a finbdied
education. Attending district school on
the North Tualatin 1'lniiiB for a few years,
he filially concluded to take a collegiate
courxe. He begun school at Pacific I'm-
veisity under great difficulties. The
family bad jut started lo engage in
larnung and the necessvry means to pro
cure an education were not in the lauiily
exchequer. .Mr. Tongue, however, did
not let that deter Dim, and lie absolutely
worked his way through college, uradu-
atinu with high honors in 1m8. Upon
leavina the university he coinmeuced
the study ot law under Hon. W. D. Hare,
and so apt a scholar was be that he was
admitted to the bar in 1SU. Air. longun
80' in became the leading attorney in
Washington Cocnty, by close application
to busineSH, aided by his natural ability.
He early espoused the principles of ttie
Republican party, by which party he
was several times honored by Domina
tions to prominent official positions,
serving locally as a member of the Coun
cil of Hillshoro, also as Mayor of that
city and as a member of the hchool Board
for six consecutive years. In ISMS be
was elected to the State Senate and
served on the judiciary and other impor
tant committees. It waa during this
session that the all-absorbing question
came up as to whether a bill Bhould be
passed exempting Portland municipal
bonds (the water bonds) from taxation.
In opposition to this measure Mr. Tongue
distinguished himself. His constituent
were well satisfied with his service and
they re-elected him, and be served as
chairman of ttie judiciary committee
during the second srsi3ii of the term,
rendering the stute ellicient, seivice in
that capacity. He was chapman of tlie
Republican state convention held at
t'ortlund in 1SU0, and was a detonate to
the National convention of the party at
Minneapolis in 181)2 which nominated
Harrison for Preaident against Cleve
land. In this convention Mr. lonitue
served as vice pre-ident for Oregon. He
served several years as member of the
Republican Stale Central Committee, as
i chairman of the Central Coinmiltee, of
the First Congressional District, and waa
president of the Youug Men'a Republi
can Club.
In ltt'JO Mr. Tongue acted as chairman
of the Republican state convention which
nominated Supreme J ad ire W. P. Lord
for Governor. Ia 18J5 be was a candi-
little fur United Mate Senator against
Senator Ilolph. and the night lie, Fulton,

Tlie event bad been widely adveriiaed

tion took a recess till 2:1" l M.
There wa no delav in the proceedings
in the afternoon. Tue notification com
mitties went out. and tlie house more or
leas waitpd their leturn.
"TLe iroveruor and aovernor-elect of
Oregon!" called out the doorkeeper in a
tone that barely reached the president.
The gavel dropped thrice, the members
and crowd an-se, and the procession of
Uate oliicers tiled down lite isle. It was
led by Governor beer, followed rjy Uov-ernor-
elect Chamderlaiu. Then came
the legislative committee, Chief Justice
Mooie, Justices Hean ami woivenon,
Secretary of State Dunbar, Treasurer
Moore, Superintendent Acaermau anu
Printer Whitney. After all had taken
their seats on the rostrum, President
Brownell Introduced Governor Geer, w ho
was received with loud hand clapping.
He at once benan to read his farewell
measaue. The reading of the mes sag
occupied nearly an hour. At its clos
there was very loud cheering tba
amounted to an ovation for the late
governor.
The oath of office will be admin
istered to the new governor by Chie
Justice Moore," announced f resident
Brownell.
The governor-elect arose, and both he
and Judge Moore raised their right
bands. - The oath was as follows:
"Yon solemnly swear that you will
support the constitution of the United
States and the constitution of the State
of Orenon, and that you will discbarge
the duties of your office to the best ol
vonr ability, so help you God."
"I do," responded Governor Cham

his inangeral message, he was vosifer
ously cheered.
I have the honor to Introduce to you
the new tiovernor of Oregon, Hon.
Georire E. Chamberlain," announced
the president.
At 3:15 o'clock the governor benan,
speaking rapidly and clearlv and with
much emphasia, upvin the poinis he de
sired to iinpeess particularly upon the
attention of the legislature. It was ob
servable that when the governor reached
several topics, notably, tht saleries and
the state printer's otlk-e, his eye left his
manuscript, and he spoke otT-hand. His
object was condensation, as he called at
tention to the Uct that his recomenda
tions in full would be found in printed

At the close nf Governor Chamber-

citizens of Oregon met the new governor

What was destined lo be one of the
most eventful davs of f lie twen'V-MM-
ond biennial ee.ion of the Oregon Legis
lature, dawned fair and crisp over the
cawtal cily Monday and long ere the
time for the con vein ns ol the two augnnl
legislative bodies the corridor of the

two or more powerful factions would re

of excitement developed as the day pro
gressed and witnessed the downfall of
one great faction, w hich, through force
of circumstances was corniel!ed to yiela
to its more owerful opponent af er one
of the grandest struggles that haa tran
spired under the great dome for man?
day, and belore the sun had sunk be lew
the horizon Hie great contest waa over,
hands were shaken on all sides and tba
great solona, who, only a few hours he
fore, were exercising every effort to over
throw their own fellow delegate, ir. Older
to aain a slight prestige in the working ol
the respective bodies, were laughing anil '
joking over their success or defeat a the
case mar be, and barf thrown all politics)
aside and were prepared to put their
shoulders to the wheel in one grand,
united effort to siart the ponderous legi
Istive machinery in motion for the g 4x1
of their constituents.
It was a grand struggle and one which,
while it was a clean-aiiaved victory for
the Brownell Fulton faction in the f-en-ate,
resulted in the complete collapse of
two strong factions in the house of Repre
sentatives before the Harris-Fullo!, Me
llon, yet it is vehemently asserted by all
who were engaged in the contest that,
wilh powsloly a few exceptions, the tight
was a scrupulously clean one through, at
and that the line of victory was society
defined that each of the defeated camle
dates for the speakership ran point out
manr instances in which they have
achieved great victories over the other.
In Ihe Senate it was only a two-ideil
fight with Btrength tqialty divi.-.rd,
twenty-two men in the caucus la-Mi.j
one ballot after another until fourteen
successive ballots bad lieen cast with ibe
vote s'andmg: eleven for Browi.ell,
eleven for Smith, and one for rM-iiator
Steiwer, of Gilliam, Grant, Sin-wan,
Wasco and Wheeler counties. This star
of affairs continued for nine hallo's -fore
adjournment fur lunch was t .ken
anil for five ballots afier the caucus went
into session again without the sign l a
waver on anyone's pari unci it bewail to
look as though there would be a dead
lock on organization until sudden'v. on
the fifteenth hail.-t. the lone Sewer
yielded and cast the decisive bjlh.t for
Senator Browne I. There was a brie
Hurry occasioned by the announcement
and the elogans in the caucus came out
for a short bieathing spell, but after con
gratulations and reg't had been pn-?ed
generously around, ibey returned io the
caucus room and decided upon the bal
ance of the ticket without unnecessary
delay.
In the othpr end of the building a more
furious battle was being waged, with the
honjrs about even, and the ballots were
taken more frequently with a slight fluc
tuation first in one direction ai d then in
ano'her but neither faction would yield
sufficiently to give the oilier any advan
tage. 1 lua state of allairs kept up lor
nineteen successive t)lluls before mi Hd-
j lurnuient for lunch was taken, wild a
solid deadlock no f ir a- Eddy's candidacy
was concerned, and the spoils wavered
between Harris and Davey with the bal
ance inclined slightly in the direct ion of
the latter, who, it is stated, wonhl hive
won the day had faith been kept all
around.
When the House republicans went
back into caucus in tlie afternoon there
was no ballot taken, for when the hi.llot
waa tteimr nreDared Represents' ive Eddv
arose, realixii.g that the fight was il l off
so far as he was concerned, and in a neat
little speech announced his withdrawal
Irom the contest in favor of Mr Harris.
He had no sooner sat down than Mr.
Davev arose and in an equally nest d-
dress, in which he thanked his fui'bfnl
following whom he said he tell he could
have depended upon until tlie day of
eternity, also withdrew from the cmte6t
and moveitthat Mr. Harris be the unani
mous choice of the caucus, and the gi'eat
siege was at an end.
THE SENATK.
Tbe Senate was called to order at 3 :f 5
o'clock by tempo, ary President DK. A
committee consisting of C. W. Fulton
R. A. Booth and B. r. Mulkev was ap
pointed to wait upon ai d conduct Chief
Justice F. A. Moore, of the Supreme
Court, into the chamber for trie pii'poe
of administering the oalti to all members.
This proceeding concluded. Senator Hunt
moved that the Senate proceed to the
election of permanent officers. This
motion was seconded and carried.
Tlie Senate then proceeded to tbe elec

Senator F. P. Mays pl.u-ed in nomina

amas county, and Senator W. II. Pierce
placed in nomination Senator Justus
Wade, of Union county. The nomina

was taken which resulted in the eleciiou
of Senator Brownell by a vote of 2.1 to 6,
Senator Marsters not voling. A commit

E. M. Croisan and W. W. Steiwer was
appointed to conduct Senator Brownell
