"WELLS, Sole Northwest AgU 353-355 Washington St., cori Pask. J: The Democratic state convention, which met jesterday in HIbernia Hall, nomi nated George E. Chamberlain for Gover nor by acclamation, adopted a qualified scuttle policy with regard to the Philip pinesafter a row In committee which lasted all day, made dlstricttheglslatlve nominations, named a state central com mittee with Sam White as chairman, and adjourned to resume the burdens of state at the early hour" of 10 o'clock this morn ing, at which time Lark Bilyeu, of Eu gene, will probably be nominated for SujDreme, udge;.J. H..Raley. of Umatilla, for Attorney-General; E. R, Bragg, pf Union, for Superintendent Public Instruc tion; J. B. Godfrey, of Salem, for State Printer. No decision has been reached as to Secretary of State and State Treasurer. In convention all was sweet peace and harmony, and even the rumors of the mighty warfare that was being waged in the platform committee between the scut lers and the antl-scuttlers hardly ruffled the surface of the patient throng that was waiting for a platform for Its candi dates to stand upon before it thrust -any of them forth. Mr. Chamberlain was nominated amid cheers, war-whoops and waving of hats, and every reference to his name was greeted by a tumult like unto the noise of many waters. But It was lor Chamberlain alone they cheered. He was the qnly candidate named, it Is true, for the squabble over the platform was not ended till the middle of the evening, but the customary shouts which hae made the welkin ring In Democratic conventions when the magic words "Will lam Jt Bryan" were voiced were not heard. From 11 o'clock In the morning till 10 o'clock at night the men who have stood shoulder to shoulder with the boy orator of the Platte labored In conven tion, and yet there was not one in all the throng to speak his praise or his name. Even the platform, which side stepped around almost everything with an adroitness which would do credit to a greyhound, had not one word about "our gallant and invincible leader from Ne braska," nor yet so much as a passing al lusion to the free and unlimited coinage of silver at toe ratio of 16 to 1 without the aid or consent of any nation on earth. Once or twice a speaker, starting with Thomas Jefferson, brought the party up to Andrew Jackson, and the dele gates held their breath for fear the trail would turn Nebraskaward, but the fears were Ill-grounded, for the speakers had been doing some Industrious forgetting In the last two years, and they knew when to stop. Orat6ry there was In abundance. In the morning, when Chairman White of the state central committee called the con vention to order, he talked. E. R. Sklp jorth, who as the result of a compro mise with A. D. Stlllman was chosen temporary chairman, talked. Charles Galloway, who was elected temporary secretary, talked. A. D. Stlllman, who became the permanent chairman on rc comentlon In the afternoon, talked. J. P. Wager, who nominated Mr. Chamber lain, talked for 15 minutes, Watson of Umatilla, seconding Chamberlain's nomi nation, talked. R. D. Inman, another of Mr. Chamberlain's seconds, talked. There was no disposition to gag anyone. Not a motion was, made without an exordium and peroration by the maker. When somebody would move to take a recess for an hour, somebody else would offer an amendment extending It to an hour and a half. The amendment would be argued at length and with eloquence; then the author of the original motion, feeling that enough had been said, would accept It, thus salng the convention the necessity of wasting much valuable time In voting that was really needed for speech. But there was really no business to transact after the. preliminaries had been disposed of, and consequently the flow of language served merely to assist In killing time. The cause of the delay was external. Before taking a recess In the morning a platform committee was chosen, a mem ber being selected from each county by the delegates representing it. This com mittee repaired forthwith to the head quarters of the state central committee in the, Chamber of Commerce building, where, after electing Thomas H. Craw ford, of Union County, chairman. It pro ceeded to consider 30 or 40 drafts of plat forms, which had been prepared by as many statesmen. All proceeded with smoothness until the Philippine plank was to be laid," and then the fact devel oped that there were two very positive opinions among the members of the com mittee. A sub-committee, consisting of Lark Bilyeu of Lane, N. A. Peery of Mult nomah, O. P. Coshow of Douglas, Thomas H. Crawford of Union. J. W. Morrow of Morrow, E. A. McDanlel of Baker, and R. L. Harris of Yamhill had been pre pared to draw up a platform out of the copious material at the disposal of the larger committee, and on examination, their views on the Philippine situation appeared to be as follows r Annexation of the Philippines Is an accom plished fact, and the Democrats of Oregon yield to Irrevocable events, and believe In turn Ins them to the mutual benefit of the American and Filipino peoples. The Philippine question Is now one of administration, not by scheming exploiters and personal promoters, but by phil osophic statesmen who have a broader concep tion of duty than seeking Inordinate salaries or grabbing vast areas of timber and mineral lands. We condemn the arbitrary power and absolutism of the Republican party manifested In treatment of our island territories, making them American territories for rulo and plunder. and foreign territory for the benign operation of a Republican tariff; making them. American subjects for taxation, but denying to them the hope of freedom guaranteed to its citizens by the American Constitution. We favor commer cial expansion, free trade with the Philippines, and all our other territories, and the guarantee of Constitutional liberty to our Island terri tories. t , Mr. Peery, of the sub-committee, dis sented, and so did numerous others in the general committee. E. D. Boyd, of Uma tilla, appeared as the champion for this conservative statement, and did a little talking about it. Mr. Peery took the other side, advocating a scuttle policy, and soon the' entire committee and many of those who had come down to listen to their deliberations- were discussing the question like mad. Judge Thomas O'Day about this time knocked at the door of the committee-room and asked permission to say a few words. Permission was granted, and he said them, making an eloquent scuttle talk. At the conclusion of Judge 0Days address the committee shut the door gently but firmly and post ed a man in front of it with peremptory Instructions to admit no one to the room who was not a member. But the echoes of Judge O'Day's massive voice were still ringing In the ears of the committeemen, and had found lodgment in so many of their hearts that another plank was drafted, practically reaffirming the posl- tloiritaken by the convention of two years ago, and reading like this: The Inhabitants of the Philippines hae peti tioned for free trade with the United States, and their request has been seconded by the Philippine Commission, and the sentiment of the American people, yet a Republican Con gress 'refuses any proper relief, but enacts tariff laws for these islaudsmore burdensome and Usa'defensrtnQ.-tnan the 'acts of the British Parliament agaln which ouf forefathers re belled. The policy that makes one law for the Hawaiian Islands, another for Porto Rico, and another for the Philippines, cannot be upheld on any ground except that of subserviency tc the sugar trust and the tobacco trust. Our In sular possessions are either part of our coun try or are foreign territory. If a part of our country, the people are entitled to the trade privileges that are granted to any of our terri tories, and any legislation that restricts that privilege Is odious to the American spirit and disgraceful to American government. We be lieve that the true policy Is to adopt Is to 'pre pare the people of those islands for sef -government as speedily as possible, and when so pre pared to grant them their Independence, retain ing such coaling stations and ports as may be necessary to protect those islands from foreign "j Interference, and to maintain our trade rela tions In the Orient. There was more discussion. Every five or en minutes clamorous messengers would come from the convention demand ing to know how long beforcthe platform would be ready. "In a few minutes," the committeemen would reply hastily, and renew hostilities with fresh energy and vigor. "In a few minutes" soon became a by-word In the convention, and, two re cesses were taken In the afternoon before it finally became apparent to the delegates that the men who were building the plat form were radical expansionists In regard to time. When the convention, having SPEAKS RIGHT OUT GrosvenorShocks Hidebound ' Protectionists.

If this be true, he will unques tionably endeavor to strike out the Sen ate amendment In conference. To The Oregohian correspondent tonight Mr. Burton declined absolutely to express any opinion on this amendment, saying that until the bill went to conference "It- would not be good form" for him to comment uoon It. Representative Tongue was rather sur prised at the liberal treatment extended by the Senate committee, but expressed grave douht as to the possibility of hold ing onto the amendment In conference. He said that a great deal would be gained If the. Senate provision positively adopt ing the canal project was retained. To gether with the $214,000 balance for im mediate use, he thinks that most, if not all, of the 5400,000 additional authoriza tion must be sacrificed. Senator Turner, however.

But they felt more concilia tory after dinner, and Ojt last agreed to accept the scuttle plank. Another mes sage of "In a few minutes" was sent to the convention, which had once more been called to order, and It was followed short ly by the committee on platform, with their work complete and concurred in by all who had a hand in It. It was expected that the antl-scuttlers would have some friends on the floor who would inquire what had become of their plank, but If such there were, they had nothing to say. The platform was read bya Mr. Crawford. Interrupted by frequent cheering, and adopted with rousing cheers and hats in the air. With ithe exception ot a few speeches, the delegates made short work of 'the nomination of Governor. Mr. Chamber lain's picture was lowered from the flies on the platform at the conclusion of Mr. Wager's nominating speech, and amid ' a din tjiat rattled the windows he .was led to the platform, where he thanked the the demand for tariff revision was some thing more than "newspaper talk," as has often been asserted. While Grosvenor declared that he would not say anything -for use of the Demo crats during the campaign, already the Democrats are preparing to make use of much that Grosvenor uttered, especially those who want to make the campaign in favor of the reduction of the tariff.
