It has pleased the Al mighty God to remove by death our late Republican Congressman. Hon. J. G. Wlson, and as bis death Is the cause of the meeting of this Conven tion, we deem it eminently proper that we shold express our sorrow and ac knowledgement of the great loss we have sum-red as a partv and a people by his sudden and untimely death. Therefore be it ttesolved btjthe IiepubHom Cowvntion, That we, as a party, deeply deplore and mourn his death for the reason that, hv his inteirritv and UDruzhtness of conduct as a citizen, tlie purity of his private life, his ability as a statesman, and above all his high Christian char acter and scholarly attainments, which elevated him above the mere politician rendered him a credit to the party and State and an eminently nt representa tive of a moral, intelligent and trinity people, who fully appreciate the neces sity of elevating to office good men only, who are and must be representa tive men of tlie party and State. The Committee on Platform report ed, and the report was adopted. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON RESOLU TIONS, 1. liwilr , That we look with pride and satisfaction upon tlie prosperous eondil ion of our country as the natural results of Its application ot the principles controlling the Renublican party in the administra tion of national affairs, and that we reaf firm tlie principles of the party as hereto fore enumerated in its Conventions, and declare that their practical enforcement is essential to file welfare of the country and the. maintenance of the rightsand liberties of the people. 2. Jiwjlv ri. That tlieChiel Executive of the na1 ion bus our unabated ami unquali fied (jmfidetiec in bislniegriiv.abilltyand enlightened patriotism In the' a lminlsi ra tion of the dntlesof bis high odlee. 3. Ii shIv rf, Tttiat we point the discord ant nnd chanic: political elements which oppose the Renublican parly to-day to t be grand advance made by our (ioverument on its political s anding, financial credit, commercial imporiancce and material de- velomneni otlbc resources of the whole conni rv as the direct, natural ami inevita ble result of this enlightened policy and principles of t be Republican party. . R gotvedf That we denounce the recent act of Congress known as the Hack-Pay bill and Ibe voting fur tin unnecessary Increas ed pay for services already rendered. a. ll imlviti, 1 hat we denounce all Credit Mobilier transact tons, wba;evor their form, an I we heartily approve of the ac tion of the late Congress in exposing and punishing corruption. fi. Ri xotwd. That we favor retrenchment and reform an. I rigid economy in the ex penditure of the public money in the Slate and National administration,' and file re duction of taxation as rapidly as consistent with good government and' maintenance of the public credit. 7. R .vJivd, That we cordially welcome to our shores the oppressed of all countries, and remembering ihat our adopted fellow citizens have always proved loyal to the flag of l he Republic, we demand for them the fullest protection of the laws, ami fa vor increased facilities for naturalization. But we condemn the Coolie trade, ami all forms of involuntary servitude, and atnrm that the safety and prosperity of free In stitutions demand more stringent laws to prevent such traffic. H. Raolved, That the interests of ihis State, and thedemands of its commercial relations with tlie other Stales of the Union, both present, and prospect Ivaly, will warrant a IPieral expenditure on the part oi the National (ioverument in the Improvement of our harbors and river channels, and it is the true policy of our people that they should be so reprnscniod in congress as snail most eneeuveiy at complisb ibis result. 9. Rwilv'it, That true economy in the management of the public lands of tlio roiled States, as well as the settlement of our vast domain and the development of its resources, demand liberal grants of public lands in tne construction ol rail roads and other nubile works, with such limitations as will secure the ult imate sale to actual settlers. 10. R miltvd, Tluit we are in favor of Con gressional grants of public lands to aid In the construct ion of a Railroad from Port land, Oregon, to some point of junction wilh the Central and Union Pacific Rail roads in Salt Lake valley, and of a railroad from the Rogue Blver valley to a Junction wli li the Central Pacltlc. 11. R mlvfd, That the Interests of com merce demand the construction of a break water at Port Orford in this State for that puriiose. li. R miml. That tho profecion of the commerce of the Columbia river demands the placing of a Steam revenue cutter will all necessary appliances at the mouth of saitl river. 18. R wived, That the producing, com mercial and industrial interests of the country should have the best undelieapesi of transportation possible, and while capi tal invested in such means of transit should have a reasonable remuneration, those inlerests should lie fully protected, and the facilities for transportation should be adjusted so fur as possible to the wants of every part of the State, with no unjust discrimination as toany sect ion, person or class, and as capital ami laiior are Insejiar bly connected and mutually dependent, the resources of 'he State will lie liest de veloped and the best Intemslsofallclusses promotod by mutual concessions and ac commodations Ijetwcen lnlwand capital, and between the producer and carrier. H. rt iiuftrd, Tliat we are opposed to the setting apart of the Wallowa valley forun Indian lieservatlon, ana tne cannida o oi this Convention Is hereby pledged to use his influence to secure to white settlers the lands hi said valley; that the Modoc murderers of citizen's at Lost river and Tula like in Xovember last, should at once be delivered to Ibe civil authorities ol tbisState, that they may lie dealt with according to law; that we are in favor of a humane peace policy towards peaceable Indians, but full and complete protection should at all times lie given to the settlers on our frontiers against the depredations of hostile and refractory tribes. Mr. Baker of Union, offered the iol lowing resolution : Hesolted, That whatever may have been the misfortunes, faults or short comings oi the Hon. J. H. Mitchell, U. S. Senator of this State, In bis early ornate life, we neither apologize, pass judgment upon, nor justify him. but express our unqualified belief that by his many years ol consistent, up right and honorable conduct in this State he has outlived any imputations cast upon him and that to-day not only the Republican party but a large majority of the iieople of this State have entire confidence in his integrity, ability and patriotism, and that he will fa ith Ail ly and ably represent them in the United States Senate. A motion to table the resolution was lost, by a vote of 73 against 34. On a motion to adopt the resolution, Mr. Himnan of Washington made a hot speech against the adoption of the resolution. Said tlie adoption of tlie resolution would kill the Republican party that any man nominated as Candidate for Congnu by this Cooveu- tion would be defeated, and mora to the same effect. Mr. Dolph, in a few stirring remarks nrged the adoption of the resolution. Mr. Baker moved the previous question. Mr. Inwson moved to adjourn. Motion lost by 24 ayes to 72 noes. ir. iwker wmidrawlng his motion, tne discussion of the resolution wascontinued, Messrs. (Human, CrossjNii -hols and others participating. Mr. Cross of Marion, said he be lieved we were all out of order. We were not sent here to discuss the mer its or demerits of Senator Mitchell were sent here to elect a candidate for Coiigress. Mr. Baker of Union, was truly sorry to see this discussion In thef'on vention. Among other things the Committee adopted resolutions lament ing the death of Hon. Jos. G. Wilson. Mr. Nesmith was an enemy to Mr. Wilson in the late canvass now he to a candidate for Mr Wilson's place. The opposite side of the house and I am sorry to say there are two sides to (his house predict that, the Republican party will be beaten if the resolution passes', We on this side don't threaten to disorganize and break up the Re publican iarty even if the resolution does not pass. Now who are the dls- orgainzers. the onposers of this res- oiutou or those who sustain it r It ne. (the speaker), thought Mr. Mitchell was guilty of high crimes and misde meanors he would introduce a resolu tion coudemiiig Mr. Mitchell, and requesting him to resign. ThntVould show at least honesty ot principle. Mr. Baker continued his speech to some length: was interrupted by Mr. Cross of Marion, and Himnan of Washington, several times the Chair ruled the discussion or colloquy out ol order, Mr. Mulkey moved the previous ques-. tion, which was followed by a motion to adjourn, the Inttermotlon being negatived by a vole of 72 to p, The mot ion.shnii the main question now be put, went to the Convention, and was adopted by 72 ayes Io2j noes. Mr. Nichols, by consent, here offered a substitute tor the resolution under discus sion : R 'mlwd, That we most emphatically condemn oftlclal corruption and crime wherever and by whoever committed. and that we cordially endorse tlie good acts of our public servants, in whatever official aipacity. The (invention refused toentertain the sub.-,! ii me, and the question being on the adoption of 1 he resolution, the vote stood, ayes til. noes 28 .go Hie resolution offered by Mr. Baker was adopted. The Convention then adjourned until 8 o'clock to-morrow morning. Kripay, Sept. 12. Convention convenod atSo'clook. Nom inations being in order. C. P. Cran tall placed in nomination Dr. E. R.

Thai the charges against our senator ne neuneramnnea or denied it wos a matter uhii which be would not decide until tne wfioie lesiimony was In. Until such time he should hold the matter in abeyance. That the canvass would be but a short one, and that li was due to the party t bat a young and vigorous man, one thoroughly comprehending the political issues of i he day, should be placed in nom ination. He was not that man. and after thanking the Convention for the compli ment bestowed ukiii him In placing him in nomination, ami renewing bis fealty to the Republican party, begged to respect fully decline the nomination. IT he above Is liarelv a svnonais of Dr. Geary's remarks. His seech was full of eloquence ami imtnos, and proved mat the true spirit of Republicanism animated bis breasi.
