A. Hooker, of Charlotte, was tonight re
nominated for Justice of the Supreme
Court of this state forra term of ten
years by the etormlest Republican State
Convention held;- In tfilS state eJnoe the
Grand Bapids conventioh that nominated
Governor Bliss In 1898. Seven candidates

nated Peter "White,' of Marquette, and L.
&. Knappen, of Grand Rapids.
"W. W. "Welderheypr, of Ann; Arbor, was
jelecled es temporary chairman, and spoke
is follows:
"I "believe I have a right to assume
that the people of this 'state still have
faith in the principles and purposes and
men of the Republican party. And I
know thaf the people of the entire Union
have an abiding fafth in the courage, the
firmness,- the robust Americanism of .the
present and our next Chief Executive,
Theodore Roosevelt. Since he took the
Presidential chair there has been a steady
continuation of the prosperity that fol
lowed the re-enactment ol Republican pol
icies during the Administration of the
martyred McKlnley.
"Prosperity and uncertainty do not walk
hand In hand. There lias been no uncer
tainty as to the Nation's policy either
under "William McKlnley or his worthy
successor. It has bem throughout a
truly American policy, one which has
opened silent factories, advanced farm
values, developed new industries and In
creased our manufactures and exports to
a degree that was not anticipated by even
the most ardent supporters of Republican
politics.
"There is a disposition on the part of
some to belittle the legislation passed by
the Republican Congress on the subject of
the trusts. But I believe the value of this
legislation will be clearly shown by the
"history of the next few days: tha Repub
lican party, which has solved tho problems
of the past, may be depended upon to
solve this problem also."
Two United States Senators and one
ex-Senator had seats on the platform
during the greater part of the morning
ee&slon. .Senator Alger was called upon
for a speech at tho conclusion of the ad
dress pf Temporary Chairman "Weide
meycr. He spoke very briefly, thanking
the delegates for their warm welcome, and
immediately introduced Senator' Galllnger,
of New Hampshire. Senator Galllnger
spoke highly of General Alger's services
to his country, and declared himself proud
to havo been Senator Alger's friend
through adversity as well as through his
hours of triumph.
Ex-Senator Thurston, of Nebraska,
who 1 hero also, to speak at tonight's
banquet, addressed the convention after
Senator Galllnger, closing his remarks
with an oloquent eulogy of tho late Pres
ident McKlnley that created a tumult
of applause. After the appointment of
committees the convention adjourned; un
til 1:30 .
The convention adopted the following
platform:
"We reaffirm our allegiance to the prin
ciples and policies of the Republican party.
"Wo cordially indorse tho patriotic, cour
ageous a'nd wise policy of President Roose
velt, and hereby renew our pledge of sup
port and our expression of confidence in
him and his Administration. We congrat
ulate the people of Michigan on the elec
tion of the entire Republican state ticket
last Fall and the economical administra
tion of sttite affairs under Governor Bliss.
"We glory In the National fame of
Michigan's Supreme Court, and Its con
tinued strength and probity.
"We commend our great State Univer
sity to the continued support, confidence
and esteem of the people.
"Resolved, That it Is the sense of this
convention that a general primary election
law should be enacted for the entire State
ot Michigan."
COLORED 'MUX FOR ROOSEVELT.
First Stcp.Takcn .to Organise for Ills
domination in" 11)04.
NEW TORK, March 6. The attitude as
sumed by President Roosvelt toward the
negro has been Indorsed in a rousing mass
meeting of colored people held in the
Bethel Methodist Episcopal Church in this
city, at which Bishop "W. B. Derrick, of
the First. Methodist Episcopal District.
made a stirring . appeal to his people to
turn their eyes- to 'the "door of hope
opened by the President" to the black
race. The mention of the name ot the
President by the speaker drew forth tre
mendous applause from both men and
women. The bishop Indulged In a bitter
denunciation of Senator Tillman, of South
Carolina.
Th.e meeting constituted the first step
toward the formation of the "Roosevelt
Invlnclbles." which organization will fa
vor the nomination of President Roose
velt. Bishop Derrick will speak In Phila
delphia on a similar mission and will ad--drcss
the colored men In many of the
principal cities of the country and organ
ize them Into local "Roosevelt Invlncl
bles." who will use every effort toward
placing the colored men as delegates in
the next National convention. On the
platform at the meeting was James H.
Hayes, of Virginia. During his speech
Bishop Derrick spoke of the appointment
of colored men to office by .Grover Cleve
land and other Presidents, but said that.
Tvhrreas these Presidents liad appointed
negroes, Roosevelt appointed men.
"Color is nothing," said the speaker,
"however much the white men would harp
upon It. "Why, there are colored men
whom I would not allow in my kitchen,
much less in my dining-room. Tes. and
there are white men whom I would not
allow In my kitchen, either."
At the close of his speech the bishop
ofTored the following resolutions, which
were adopted amid cheers:
"Resolved. That in His Excellency the
President. th Hon. Theodore Roose
velt, the liberty of the world has a most
fervent defender, civilization a gallant
representative, humanity a generous pro
tector, the American Nation a type of
civil valor and heroic self-denial which
ought to characterize the first magistrate
of a republic
"Resolved. That we recognize that the
great and unfinished task of Lincoln has
fallen into his hands and will be properly
and successfully accomplished for the
happiness and prosperity of the Nation.
"Resolved. That we pledge ourselves
from this time henceforth to use our in
fluence for his nomination and election to
the Presidency in 1901.
"Resolved. That we form ourselves Into
an association to be known as 'Roosevelt
Invlnclbles,' recommending similar organ
izations to be formed throughout the
country."

GORMAN AGAIN LEADER
DEMOCRATIC SENATORIAL CAUCUS
ELECTS HIM.
Steerlnp Committee Will Cheese Men
for Vacant Committee Places and
Desires Them Filled Promptly.
"WASHINGTON, March 6. The Demo
cratic Senatorial caucus, which met at 11
o'clock today, organized by electing Sen
ator Gorman as chairman of the caucus.
He made a brief speech in assuming the
chair, and the conference then proceeded
to other business. There were present 23
of the 33 Democratic Senators.
Senator Gorman's nomination as chair
man was suggested by Senator Bacon
and there was no opposition to his se
lection. On taking the chair he thanked
the Senators for the honor conferred, but
did not make an extended speech. The
remaining time of the session was de
voted largely to the discussion of the
present situation in the Senate and the
necessity for harmony and unity of ac
tion. There was a general feeling that tha
vacancies caused by the retirement of
Democratic Senators from committees
which have tc deal with questions before
the present called session should be. filled,
and It was directed that the destination
of the members of these committees
should be made by a steering committee
to be appointed by the chairman of tho
caucus, but that their selection should
later be ratified by the caucus.
The steering committee for the past
Congress has numbered only seven mem
bers, but Senator Gorman requested that
the number shoula be increased to nine,
which was the number In the days of his
previous chairmanship, and this increase
was decided upon, Mr. Gorman will make
his selection of members of this com
mittee in time to have a meeting tomor
row, when the question of supplying the
vacanles on the regular committees of tho
Senate will be taken up. The caucus
placed in the hands of the steering com
mittee authority to decide for the Demo
crats whether there should be a general
re-organization of the ,Senate committees
or the mere filling of Vacancies on those
committees which will deal with pressing
questions during the extra session.
The committee Is empowered to negoti
ate with the Republican steering commit
tee with a view to agreeing on a general
reorganization, but so far as there was
expression of opinion on this point it
was favorable to the view of leaving the
question of reorganization on general
lines to be determined by the Republicans,
as tney are in power. There Is no doubt,
however, that the Democratic steering
committee will insist upon having some
of the committees filled for the reason that
the Democratic party has lost quite heav
ily In some of the committees which are
in control of present business.
They will ask. for instance, that the
vacancies on the committee on foreign
relations be filled. Senator Bailey retired.
from this committee before adjournment
of the last Congress and by unanimous
consent Senator Clark of Montana was
appointed to the vacancy. It is expected
that the steering committee will confirm
this action and also will name a successor
to Senator Rawlins on the same com
mittee. It is thought necessary to havo
these vacancies filled Immediately, as that
committee will have to deal with the
pending treaties. They also will ask that
the Democratic vacancies on the commit
tee on interoceanlc canals, caused by tho
retirement from the Senate of Messrs.
Harris and Turner, shall be filled.
It is also probable that they will ask
the places vacated by Senators Vest and
Turner on the committee on commerce
shall be filled before the nomination of
Dr. Crum to be collector at the Port of
Charleston is taken up by that commit
tee. A similar demand probably .will be
made in all other cases in which commit
tees have charge of nominations over
which there may be a controversy. Tho
caucus was in session for almost two
hours.
Later In the day the steering committee
was named. It consists of Senators Gor
man of Maryland. Cockrell of Missouri.
Martin of Virginia, Bacon of Georgia,
Dnbois of Idaho, Money of Mississippi.
Bailey of Texas, Blackburn of Kentucky
and Tillman Of South Carolina.
RETURN TO OLD LEADER.
Senators, by Choosing; Gorman,
Finally Repudiate Bryanliun.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, March 6. The return of Gorman
to power is one of the features of the re
juvenation of the Democratic party. Gor
man went out of power on the Bryan
wave. He was refused a place on the
finance committee by the silver element
of the Democratic party six years ago and
he Immediately refused to longer serve as
chairman of tho conference which gave
him tho leadership of the party in the
Senate. Turple, of Indiana, was elected
to succeed him and when his term ex
pired. Jones, of Arkansas, who has been
chairman of the Democratic National
committee In two unsuccessful cam
palgns, was selected for the placo and
has held it up to the present time. Under
the leadership of Jones, the Democratic
party in the Senate has amounted to very
little.
The party is now very small compara
tively, but It hopes to retrieve itself to
some extent under Gorman's leadership.
Gorman was one of the number of Demo
crats from states outside of the solid
South that did not believe in the Bryan
heresy and. like others, went down under
the load which the Democratic party was
carrying. New York, New Jersey, Del
aware, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois
and West Virginia had Democratic Sen
ators only a few years ago. Gorman held
on longer than any of the others, but
was defeated four years ago, as Maryland
went Republican while Bryanlsm was as
cendant in the Democratic party.
Gorman's selection today is a distinct
acknowledgement on the part of the
Democrats of the Senate that Bryanlsm
was a failure and that free silver is a
thing of tho past and that the old Demo
cratic ideas must prevail In order to
achieve success. He hus been missed
every day since he has been out of the
Senate, for he always had more sense
than any of the Democrats and his advice
and counsel, while heeded, gave the Dem
ocrats some prominence in the National
councils.
It Is believed that under his leadership
factional and personal' Ideas will not pre
vail and small-caliber politics will be dis
pensed with as far as possible. This gives
reason for the belief' that the Panama
canal treaty and the Cuban reciprocity
treaty are likely to be ratified without
very much delay, as it Is conceded that
a two-thirds majority exists In the Senate
for the Cuban treaty and only one or two
Senators oppose the Panama canal treaty.

WASHINGTON. March 6. Adjournment

the Senatorial callers today were Senators
Clark of Montana and Clarke, of Arkansas.

the extra session would last two or three
weeks.

likely to follow soon after the transfer.

WASHINGTON, March 6. Secretary

o'clock, and it was lato before all of
them had found their seats in the banquet
hall.
A letter of regret from President Roose
velt was read.
Senator Galllnger responded to the first
toaat, "Patriotism and Protection." In
opening. Senator Galllnger contrasted con
ditions in the country- in 1S95, the year
before the passage of the Dlngley law,
with the conditions in 1902. He pointed
out the great Increase slnco 1S93 In rail
road business, in bank clearings, in sav
ings deposits, in the money In circula
tion, in the exports of the country, and
in domestic manufactures, and said:
"These figures tell the story of the dif
ference between low and high tariffs more
eloquently and convincingly than tongue
of orator could possibly do, and they fur
nish the highest possible tributes to the
wisdom and statesmanship of the great
Republican party. And yet we have Dem
ocratic discontent, and, in certain . quar
ters, more or less Republican unrest. The
Democratic cry Is going up for a revision
of the tariff, and ever and anon wo hear
the faint voice ot the 'Iowa idea' borne
on the breeze. Both voices are those of
political sirens, to follow which will lead
to inevitable economic ruin. As to the
revision of the tariff, the Republican party
will attend to that In due time, and the
revision will be made, not according to
Democratic ideas, but in consonance with
the principles of the party which has al
ways legislated for the best interest ot
the people ot the United States. We' have
had enough experience with tariffs for
revenue only."
Congressman Smith Introduced General
Wood as the "honored, intimate friend
of President Roosevelt." The banqueters
rose to their feet, waving napkins and
cheeringj as General Wood arose to re
spond to the toast, "The United States
in the West Indies." General Wood's
address reviewed the work accomplished
during the American occupancy of Cuba.
After describing the splendid work done
during the military occupation, he said:
"When I was sent to Cuba as Governor
General of the Island, my first work was
to Implant in the people the idea of self
government. My Instructions from Presi
dent McKlnley were very broad to get
the people In shape for self-government."
In conclusion, he said:
"When we left the Island we turned over
to the Cubans a government well organ
ized and a country free from, disease and
without debt."
V
Ex-Senator John M. Thurston was the
last speaker, and hie toast was: "Our
New Possessions." He said:
"No man had any Idea when we went
to war with Spain that it would bring us
new lands. Yet destiny led u& on. When
we sank the Spanish fleet at Manila we
had no purpose to take a foot ofthe
Philippine Islands, hut a responsibility
came on us that we could not Ignore. It
wag to set up some government to take
the place of the one we had destroyed.
We took the Islands because they came
to us as the irresistible result of a war
that commenced and was carried on by
a great sense of public humanity. And I
believe that It was a great blessing that
we have acquired them, for in the struggle
for world supremacy they will aslst us in
becoming what our destiny points out for
us the foremost Nation of the world."

Good Chance for Gallant Men.
Portland streets are thronged with peo
ple these days, and it seems as if the
crowds grow larger day by day. It has
been found necessary to station a police
man at the corner of Third and Morrison
to look after people crossing the street
and to preVent them from risking their
lives by trying to dodge in front of the
street-cars, large numbers of which are
constantly passing and repassing and
turning curves in different directions at
this intersection. At Third and Yamhill
the City & Suburban Railway Company
has a man stationed to open and close
switches and prevent passers from get
ting In front of cars In motion. When
Spring comes and people can go abroad in
comfort, more freely. It will be necessary
to have men at some intersections to give
their arms to ladies and guide them
through the maze of cars and vehicles, so
that they can cross the streets in safety.
There are already several candidates for
such positions. The number of persons
old-time residents meet on the streets
these days who are unknown is a con
stant source of wonder 'to them.
Going: the Way the Romans Went.
A young man stood in front of a picture
store window yesterday, gazing earnestly
and rather sadly at a large water color
print of "Nero In the Circus." The scene
represented was a rather Impressive one.
In the foreground lay a huge bull, pierced
by a spear, dead, and the body of a beau
tiful maiden, decked with flowers, bound
to the carcass, apparently dead also. Near
by stood the Emperor, in richly embroid
ered robes of royalty, surrounded by
richly clad nobles staring with indiffer
ence at the bodies of the girl and the
animal. Attracted by the earnest gaze of
the young man, several others halted to
gaze at the picture. After contemplating
it In silence a few moments, one re
marked, "A remarkable people, those Ro
mans." "Yes," said the young man, "and
we are going the same way the Romans
did." No one seemed to have any partic
ular Idea a3 to the, way they went, or
where they went to. so tho oldest of the
crowd remarked, "We will all get there
by and by," and then the crowd passed
on the way.

Hard to Keep Sidewalks Clear.
Commission men on Front street find It
impracticable to keep the sidewalks clear
ot goods in front of their stores. They are
willing to do the best they can, they say,
but they will not be driven ou of busi
ness. The business of fruit stands has
been seriously Injured, It is said, by no
displays being allowed In front of them.
"A display Is an essential feature ot busi
ness these times," said a dealer yesterday.
"Dealers in all kinds of goods recognize
this, as can be seen by the expenses be
stowed on nhow windows. The business
of fruit stands has been reduced to less
than one-fourth of what it used to be, by
forbidding us to make displays. Tran
sient trade is the principal part of our
business, and if we have no display it
passes by. We ought to be allowed two
feet at least for display."
