16 THE MORNING OREGOStfAST. THURSDAY, 'APRIL 14, 1S04. NAME TICKET TODAY Democrats Will Hold Their County Convention, CONTEST ON FOR CHAIRMAN Sweek Forces Back J. B. Ryan While L. T. Peery Is the Choice of the Faction of Which He Is the Leader. , This morning the .Democrats of the county will hold their convention at the Blbernian Hall and spend several hours in the pastime of naming a county ticket. Hostilities will undoubtedly start when the selection of a temporary chairman Is attempted. For Alex Sweek and his fol lowing declare that John B. Ryan must wield the gavel, while L. T. Peery and his faction urge that Mr. Peery must be chairman of the temporary organization So excitement is bound to follow. "When this storm has abated and there is nothing to mark its course but the wreckage, more trouble is likely to blow up any" moment, in the event of any at tempt to pass resolutions favorable to William Randolph Hearst for the Demo cratic Presidential nomination. It is as serted on good authority that such reso lutions are to be presented. "And if any such resolutions are intro duced, as I understand they are to be," said a well-known Democrat yesterday, "there will be an awful roar from many quarters of the convention. I believe that few, if any, of the conservative Democrats want anything to do with Brother Hearst, and I know they would fight a set of resolutions favoring him to a standstill. I hope the resolutions will not be presented, but I fear they will be." Tranquility, at least comparative tran quillity, is promised after the fight for temporary and permanent organization between the Sweek and the Peery fac tions is at an end. For it is upon tho outcome of this fray that will depend in a large measure the destiny of candi dates. Mr. Sweek stated yesterday his regrets that the party stands divided against itself. He urged that he has not insisted on a factional man for temporary chair man, but that Mr. Peery would not com promise on any of the non-factional Democrats and consequently made the fight a necessity. "We were willing to do anything that was fair," said Mr. Sweek, "and offered to agree upon such men as Dr. Harry Lane, Judge M. G. Munly, John M. Gearin, C. B. S. Wood, John Montag and W. 'A. Montag. but Mr. Peery would not see it in the same light, so we have selected Mr. Ryan for chairman and in tend to put him through." Just who the nominees are to be for the different offices is something which the leaders declare will depend -on cir cumstances which will develop during the course of the convention. There are plenty of aspirants for each nomination of the convention, but those to be most sought after are the nomina tions for Sheriff, Commissioner and State Senators. The name of George W. Simon has been added to the list of those who want to be State Senators, and all the original aspirants are yet said to be In the field. These Include Newton McCoy, F. V. Holman, J. A. Bushman, H. W. Parker, D. M. Donaugh, H. B. Compson, A. King Wilson, Dr. John Welch. C. J. Schnabel and John Van Zante. Looking ahead to the State Convention Newton McCoy is said to be flirting with the nomination for District Attorney, a nomination that John Manning is said to be booked for and whose supporters de clare him to be the strongest and most logical candidate. As announced many times "before the party considers the Sheriff nomination as being the most luscious plum of all, and T. M. Word continues to be the one whose name is being most often mentioned as a possible nominee. But. to quote an epigram which was sprung laughingly by a well-known Demo crat yesterday, "You can never tell what a Democratic convention Is going to do until they do it" RIVER RISES INCH AN HOUR.

A stage of 15 feet above high-water mark will be reached by the Willamette river on Friday, according to the forecast of District Weather Forecaster E. A. Beals, and a special river bulletin to this effect hns been Issued from the Weather Bureau office and distributed to all the different points on the Columbia, Snake and Willamette Rivers that will be af fected by the flood. The rivers are all Tising rapidly and show no sign of ceasing. For a time yes terday the Willamette gained an Inch every hour at Portland, and at 5 P. M. stood at 13 feet, which "was a rise of .C of a foot since 7 A. M. Mr. Beals expects the river to reach a stage of 14.5 feet at Port land this afternoon. Following is the spe cial river bulletin Issued by Mr. Beals yesterday: "Reports just received from the Upper Willamette River and from the Columbia and Snake Rivers show that they are all rising rapidly. The following are the stages this morning and the rise in the last 24 hours. Feet A. SI. Rise. Portland 12.S 1.4 Salem 11.3 0.0 Albany 11.1 0.9 The Dalles 17.9 2.5 Irfjwlston 13.2 1.4 Weiser 8.5 Rising rapidly. "The river at Portland is now rising at the rate of nearly an inch an hour. It will reach a stage of 14.5 feet by Thursday noon and probably 16 feet some time Friday. "EDWARD 'BEALS. "District Forecaster." A change in the weather is also predict ed. It was much cooler west of the Cas cades and up to 5 o'clock last night no rain had fallen, although cloudiness had increased generally throughout the North Pacific States, and the barometer was un usually low. The forecast calls for show ers before tonight, and Indicates that fair weather cannot continue later. DR. XATHROP ON BROWNING. Well-Known Preacher Ably Discusses Work of the Poet. At the Gillespie School of Expression last night Rev. J. R. T. Lathrop delivered a lecture on "Browning," which was comprehensive in detail and expression and showed deep research and insight into this great poet's art and method. The large parlors of the school were complete ly filled with an audience which was in dividually interested in this subject, and Dr. Lathrop's analysis of Browning's art and his method of stating his truths was followed closely. That the poet Is trouble some in many respects was acknowledged by the speaker. His bunglesome manner he attributed to the overflow of his great thoughtfulness. In comparing him with Tennyson, he said of the latter: "Tennyson is always pointing right, but he is never In tho full light of noon. He expresses doubt or hope, but is not posi tive in his statement of what Is. Brown ing makes a fact what Tennyson forms Into a suggestion.. "Tennyson is explicit, however: his thoughts arid Ideas are laid bare. He is better beloved than Browning, but the latter will live longer. Browning Is always positive he always knows." In referring to the philosophy of Brown ing Dr. Lathrop said: "Underlying the philosophy of the poet are three propo sitions: His system of philosophy per meates all that he ever wrote, so that you will find It In his shorter poems, although It flows out copiously in his longer ones. "Man Is for a few brief years Inter- meshed In limitless and Incomprehensible universe, and all the while is himself un der well-defined limitations so far as his own capabilities are concerned. "While the system, of Nature is so com prehensive, yet man Is a. soul and'as such the nature Is replete with power and good. Yet man, though limited in capability, is himself so great that Nature cannot sat isfy his own being, either from Nature here or from his own efforts, howsoever honest and lofty they may be. "Man can by aspiring to too much sur pass in bis ambitions his ability to realize, so that it is better.to undertake only that which lies within one's limitations and seek to excel m that, taking care that you do not become too narrow, but keep one's self large in hope and faith." The great poem of "Paracelsus" was given as setting forth this philosophy, and analyzed at some length. Dr. Lathrop ex hibited greatest familiarity with his dif ficult subject, and viewed the poet and his work from every standpoint. He was the recipient of many congratulations from those who so greatly enjoyed this literary treat. Mr. and Mrs. Gillespie intend giving an other evening like this in a couple of weeks, when Judge Foley will speak on Robert Burns. FAVOR NEW PAVEMENT. BISHOP HARTZLER'S TOUR.

"I didn't think much of It before we went over there, but now I believe It's three times as good as the best we have here," says Mr. Sharkey. '"Yes, I con sider it ahead of asphalt." The other members of the investigation committee speak in the same manner. Unless unexpected objections are raised by the property-ewners, tho five resolu tions calling for the use of bltullthlc pavement will probably be definitely passed by the Council.

Chinese Waiters Are Brought Into Court, but Jury Clears Them. CHICAGO, April 13. The curious spec tacle of two colored men asking the pun ishment ot four Chinese for a denial of civil rights has been furnished by a case in Justice Everett's court. A white jury decided that the colored men had not-suffered sufficient impairment of their rights to Justify a fine. D. R. Cooper and Daniel Robinson, the negro complainants, entered a Chinese restaurant on March 29 and asked to be served. The Chlneso in charge said they were out of the dishes desired. Thereupon the two colored men departed and presently returned with Constables, who arrested Moy You, Moy You Kay, Moy Quong and Moy Sam, the owners of the cafe. The complainants alleged that these Chinese, In refusing to serve them, had violated the Illinois civil rights act. Tvhlch gives to negroes equal privileges In restaurants and theaters with whites. When the case came to trial the Chinese demanded a Jury. They were represented by ex-TJnlted States District Attorney Thomas Mllchrlst, while W. G. Anderson, a negro lawyer, appeared for the com plainants. After hearing- the arguments the 'jury deliberated a few minutes and returned, a verdict exonerating the Chi nese. ' MANAGER- HORN GOMES.
