NOTICE.
Hy reference to a notice elsewhere
In this issue of the Gazette it will be
seen that the co-partnership of Craig &
Conover, publishers, has been dis
solved, the former retiring from the
firm. It, therefore, becomes necessary
to complete a settlement 6f accounts,
and all persons knowing themselves
indebted to the above firm will please
settle at an early date. Mr. Conover
will continue the business in the
future, and . respectfully solicits the
generous patronnge which the office has
had bestowed upon it during the past.
Mrs. Q. A. Grubbe, nominated by
the democrats for county school super
intendent, declines to accept the nom
ination and will not make the race.
Oregonian. Mrs. Grubbe has evi
dently'fciscovered that if she should be
elected she would be unable to qualify
for the office of school superintendent,
which is probably the cause of her res
ignation Robert P. Porter, superintendent
ef the census, thinks the work will be
so promptly done this year that he will
be able to announce by August 1 how
many of us compose the population. I
Six hundred clerks will be employed
in Washington, and electrical enumera
ting machines that will do more work
in five hours than was formerly done
in fifty.
The total land grants made by the
TJnited States for educational purposes
during the first century of its exis
tence amount to over 80,000,000 acres,
or 125,000 square miles, a territory
greater than the area of Great Britain
and Ireland, and equal to one-half the
area of France.
It is estimated that there are now
150,000 Protestant. Sabbath schools,
meeting every Sunday in the United
States. These have l,300,000 teach-
era and officers, and have about 10,
000,000 pupils. This is a gain of 50
per cent, in the last twelve years, and
there are yet 11,000,000 children to
be reached.
A PENJVOYER TICKET.
rf-
The democrats had a good time in
their state convention held in this city
yesterday. Democrats generally do
have good times in their state conven
tions. They seem to enjoy fighting
imong themselves as thoroughly as
does a n&tive Irishman in wielding his
s mlaly at a county fair. Democrats
always take advantage of conventions
to display their enthusiasm for and ap
proval of the principles of their party
and the candidates on their ticket. It
is so seldom they have an opportunity
to do this after the election is over
the most appropriate time that they
make use of the mominating conven
tion to unburden themselves. -
The convention Wednesday was no
exception to the rule. Those demo
crats who could not supply the natural
enthusiasm resorted to artificial meth
ods until there was not one in the con
vention but was ready to yell at the top
of his voice whenever an occasion pre
sen ted itself..
The tiokat nominated was forecast
months ago that is, all there reallv is
to the ticket the governor. The
democratic party in . this state for
months has been a Pennoyer party
Wednesday's convention was a Pen
noyer convention, and the ticket it has
presented is a Pennoyer ticket. The
other candidates on the ticket are in
significant and will attract but little
notice during the campaign. The-
fight will be for Pennoyer, and when
defeat overtakes this ticket in June it
will not be the democratic party that
has been defeated, but Governor Pen
noyer.
The feeling that was manifested for
Governor Pennoyer in the convention
must have been gratifying indeed to
that gentleman it ' could not have
been otherwise were he the most
ognish republican. The devotion
shown was touching in the extreme,
and must have forced Liai to realize
more than ever how thoroughly he is
the democratic party of Oregon. Even
that over.fat and bloated idol of the
free traders, Grover Cleveland, would
have been stung by jealousy had he
been present to witness the demonstra
tions. But if Governor Pennover's
deas are those of the democracy of
this state, then he is in every way de
serving of such devotion, for no
one will say that he has not endeavor
ed to faithfully carry them out.
The platform adopted will cut no
figure in the campaign, whatever. It
was merely constructed to give Gov
ernor Pennoyer some sort of a footing
during his canvass. A large portion
of the democrats of the state wilt not
read it; they probably would not under
stand it if they did. All they desire
to know is that Pennoyer . has been
re-nominated, and they don't care a
snap who his associates are, or what
principles are sec forth in the platform..
Upon the whole, the convention
yesterday was a satisfactory one. The
democrats are pleased w;th the nomin
ations made, and the republicans have
manifested a desire for some time to
retire Governor Pennoyer to private
life. They now have the opportunity
and will take advantage of it. Tele
gram.-
Last Saturday W. F. Paul finished
the job of sanding the front and paint
ing L. G. Kline's new house. It is a
model job. -
There are two main reasons why
the democratic state ticket should not
be successful in Tune. One is that
they have a mighty poor ticket, com
paratively, and the other is that they
have a poorer platform. Robert A.
Miller, for congressman,, is a nice
young man, and has a good voice; but
he would rattle around awfully in Her
mann's seat. We all know Pennoyer:
and we all know D. P. .Thompson.
Nobody knows Win. M. Townsend,
for secretary of state; but there is no
danger of so good and competent a
man as Geo. W. McBride being defeat
ed by such a party on such a platform,
even by a gentleman of recognized
popularity and ability. Geo. W.
Webb would make a good treasurer if
it were not for about 5000 extra re
publican votes Phil Metschan will get.
No one expects to beat R. S. Bean for
supreme judge with B. F. Bonhani, of
India. We have had enough preach
ers in politics in Oregon. The Rev.
A. Leroy, of Linn, will not get within
shooting distance of Prof. E. B. Mo
Elroy for superintendent of public in
struction. The people are satisfied
with Frank C. Baker for state printer.
His majority will be. large. Statesman.
Salem is going to have a $71,000
steel bridge.. What is Corvallis going
to do? A list has already been startod,.
headed with a. subscription of $500
for a bridge across the river here.
