the nomination of Tolbert Carter furioiut
senator from Benton and Lincoln count;
rtsuited iu the motion being declared out of
order, this convention nut being cognizant

cial district. The committee on resolutions

to ring and echo such unison and satisfaction

other than a republican victory. Thereupon

Tried to Run the Town.
! W. Kitor and Ben Feller, of Philomath,
j had a very nice time in Corvaliis Monday,
j Striking a saloon they proceeded to jjet their
j skates on and sailed over town looking for a
I fight. They separated ami Kisr was finally
accommodated, receiving tvro black eyes pa
a souvenir of the ntl'ray. hYljjer Took the
matter up for bis friend and beconiiug dis
j turbubint ami very rioi3y on the stiect was
' placed in the city "cooler" to allow his p'lg
j nacity to evaporate. Ilia friends boon got
! him out by his agrr.eiug to pay a light fine
aud leave quietly for home. Folder and Ki
' s r left together in a cart. While going up
j Main street, the formor concluded t' vuiit
bis spleen on the city by firing several shots
j from a revolver which ho is said to curry ou
all occasions. A warrant was spetdiiy sworn
out in Mudgour Honor V court and Chief
j Taylor followed him to the outskirts of tho
j city, when Felgr was located waiting for
! his friend who hid returned to towufii-
more whiskey. He was brought before the
! justice and plead gmlty to a charge of carry
j ing a conc ah-d vespon, and orktd for chin
; eucy on account of threats which he c'uinitd
had been made agiust his life and other ex
tenuating circumstances. The judge replied
that the circumstances seemed to him to
justify the biicueat penally, but as the de-
fendaut had plead guilty, id this being bis
j first trial for this offense he fined the would
' be-bad man fifty dollars and costs. He im
; mediately left with' the officers to see his
' friends, that the money might be forthcom
i ing. He evidently had not had experience
enough, and becoming abaMve bo was taken
before Police Judge Porter and lined sixty
dollars for discharging 6re arms iu the city
limit3. Thefe fines were settled next morn
ing. Why Kisor was not aire9ted too, in
not apparent. He was perambulating the
streets:in a far more intoxicated condition
than Fclger, who claims his whole trouble
grew out of the attempt to stand up for his
friend's cause. Felger does not bear a very
savory reputation.
Thesehoodiums will soon learn that they
cau'tcome into Corvallis and get a few drinks
and then run the town. The officers are on
to them, and unless they conduct themselves
hereafter iu a more orderly manner they will
be requested to not favor Corvallis with
their very undesirable society.
Surprise Party.
Miss ilaum, of Portland, and her friend
Miss Sarah Jacobs were last Saturday eveu
ing the recipients of a surprise party at the
home of the lattor. According to arrange
ments a goodly number of friends met at the
residence of Miss Friendly, and at 8:30
marched down to tho Jacobs mansion and
took possession of it. During the evening
Mr. Gifford Nash rendered several choice
selections on the piano that were thoroughly
enjoyed, and Miss Amy Plummer saug the
Ostrich sonar in a manner that even Francis
Wilson himself could not improve. After
refreshments were served dancing was the
order until midnight, when all left for their
respective homes having spent a most en
joyable evening. Those present were Misses
Eda and Sarah Jacobs, Miss Baum, of Pert
land, Edith Tongue, of Hillsboro, Hattie
Friendly, Leon Louis, Amy Plummer, Ada
Sharpies, Miss Lewis, Nannie BIoss, Hattie
Gaines and Carl Hitchens, Messrs Bowen
Lester, Robt Johnson, Lieut. Dentler, Chas,
Clark, Will H. Bloss, C. O. Wells, W. Gif
ford Nash, Sol Stock and E. E. Wilson.

"Anticipating the Wilson BilL
These times our people have but little
cash; most of them are inclined to blame
the present administration for this condi
tion of affairs. Piobably they are right,
but whatever the cause, the fact remains
undisputed if a merchant wishes to do bus
iness be must count on little or no profit
and put his wares ?o low that the elephant-
trodden purses of the commuuity can reach
them. Mr. Kline seems to recognize this
fact, and a large sign in front of his store
proclaims, "Our entire stock .of clothiDg
must be sold in the next sixty days at new
tariff prices." Mr. Kline is a man of his
word and no doubt in this cose means what
he says. His stock of clothing is complete
and well selected.

At the republican state convention Wed
nesday the republicans did their work wise

lield that has no weak spots in it. Every
man is a runner. As Webfoot sets the pace
for the fall elections in the East the conven
tion is to be congratulated for having nom
inated a ticket, every man of which will be
a winner by a large majority. J udge Lord's
nomination was the first one and was made
by A. N. Gilbert of Salem and seconded by
Henry McGinn. C. W. Fulton and J. T.
Apperson were also nominated for gover
nor and on the second ballot Lord was sue-
cessful. After the result was announced
there wire cries for Fulton who came for.
ward and spoke briefly in eulogy of Judge
Lord and the republican party. He claimed
to not be sore in the least over his defeat
aud thanked his friends who had supported
him. The slate declared for a new deal and
as a result no present or former office holder
stood a ghost of a show. Metscbau was
unanimously a. corded a second term as due

EIYER TRANSPORTATION.
Competition Closer than Ever
Eefore Traffic In
creasing. A Gazette reporter had occasiou last
week to visit Portland and accepted an in
vitation from C. H. Abernethy, purser of
the steamer Elwood, to make the trip via
the Willamette. '.We took en about 85 tons
of flour- for Portland,, and left Corvallis
just before supper,, reaching Salem by bed
time, and Portland by( noon the next day.
We were surprised at the amount of compe
tition and volume of freight traffic on the
Willamette river between Portland and
Harrisburg, and even as far as Eugene.
The Modoc and Elwood make semi-weekly
trip? I etwesn Harrisburg and Portland; the
new steamer Eugene, weekly trips between
Harrisburg aiid Portland; the Altnna tri
weekly trips between Independence and
Portland, making a specialty of passengers;
the Willamette Chief, tri weekly trips be
tween Portland and Salem; the Toledo ply
ing the Yamhill river aud thence to Port
land, tri-weekly: besides two or three tran
sient steamers and the daily Oregon City
boats.
The Gazettk man asked what rates were
quoted generally, and was told that the
boats intended to do the business at all odds
and our freieht rates are usually one-half
railroad tariff, or less, depending on the
competition we have from other steamers,
and in passenger rates about the same rules
prevail. Captain Smith, of the Modoc, the
oldest captain on the river, said that be
had never known river competition so
close. Some of the boats are alleged to go
out 011 land and solicit the transportation of
farm produce, etc Each of these river
steamers makes a market for from ten to
twenty-five cords of wood per day, and pay
from gl.50 to $2.75 per cord for it on the
bank. For passenger traffic, the steamers
are a little slow, but the difference in tariff
and the ease and comfort of a well equipped
jteamer make it withal a desirable method
of local transportation, aud by another sea-

between Eugene and Portland, with a much
larger passenger traffic than at the present
time.

Presbyter y? Proceedin gs.
The Presbytery of Willamette met in
the Presbyterian church April 10th at
7:30 p. m., and was opened with a ser
mon by the retiring moderator, Rev. J.
A. Hanna. .- The Presbytery was consti
tuted with prayer. Rev. A. L. Hutchin
son, of Salem, was elected moderator.
Elder S. G. Irwin temporary clerk, and
Rev. J. A. Hanna reporting clerk. Rev.
George H. Whitman was received
from the Presbytery of Fargo, N. D.
Rev. J. R. N. Bell was dismissed to the
Presbytery of Eastern Oregon. Rev. M.
S. Riddle was dismissed to the Presby
tery of Olympia. The committee on
resolutions was instructed to prepare a
minute expression of the sympathy of
the Presbytery with the latter in his af
fliction. President Bloss delivered the
address of welcome, to which the mod
erator replied. The ladies' aid society
furnished refreshments and a pleasant
evening was spent
Wednesday morning the Presbytery
met at 9 o'clock and the devotional ex
ercises were conducted by Rev. G. H.
Whitman of Turner. The minutes of
the preceeding meetings of Presbytery
were read and approved. The modera
tor then appointed the standing com
mittee and the routine business of tlie
Presbytery was taken up and transacted.
The report from the churches was verv
encouraging and showed much growth
throughout the grounds of Presbytery.
At two o'clock the election of commis
sioners to the general assembly, which
meets in Saratoga N. Y., ihe 17th of
May, took place and resulted in the
choice of Rev. F. H. Gynne, D. D., and
Elder Caleb Davis. "
The evening service was conducted by
the ladies, and was very interesting The
church was filled to overflowing
and the exercise, "Little Lights," by the
Junior Kndavourswas a beautiful service.
This was followed by an address from
Rev. O. F. W isner a missionary from
Conton, China.
The Presbytery adjourned at 11 a. m.
.Thursday after a most successful session
and the delegates expressed their delight
in visiting our beautiful city and en
joying the generous hospitality of our
prosperous Presbyterian church here.
Last Night's Meeting.
At the ratification meeting held last
night a futile attempt was made to re
store harmony in the democratic ranks.
The audience was quite large and at first
quite enthusiastic. McKaddeirmade the
opening address and while he produced
no argument, and made the startling
announcement that thirty years of
prosperity had brought abject poverty lie
got off the stage without disgracing him
self. This was followed by music by the
Cleveland quartette club which was the
only creditable feature of the evening.
At this juncture Judge Burnett was in
troduced who spoke for an hour. He
told the people that the republican party
was built on fraud and that ex-presu'.eiit
Harrison was a liar. lie was only
scheduled for a ten minute speech but
mistaking ridicule for applause, he held
the boards for sixty minutes thinking
the audience was being entertained by
his clowish appearance, and misstate
ments of facts. During his remarks
most of tlie audience left in disgust while
those remaining turned the meeting into
a regular pandensonium and the speaker
turned on to the president and demanded
in commanding tones that he preserve
order during the balance of his remarks.
Being informed that the time alloted to
him had been exhausted tlie judge was
still loath to close and so continued until
his words were no longer audible above
the din and noise, and finally sat down
in disgust, after being called down the
third time. The would-be-silver tongucd
orator Thomas Jeffreys followed with an
excellent address. In fact it was con
sidered good forty years ago. J. K.
Weatherford was introduced but spoke to
empty benches. As a whole it was about
the thinest affair ever held in Corvallis
and not a few democrats feel sick with
the whole business, convention, ticket
and all.
In Dove-Colored Gowns.
A rare treat is in store for the music
loving folk of Corvallis. It will occur
on the 26th intstant, at the College
chapel, the best lighted hall in the city.
The entertainment will be given under
the auspicies of the O. A. C. that funds
may be secured with which to purchase
pictures and a carpet for the chapel.
That famous organization the Chicago
Ladies Quartette include fours of the
best voices from the Worlds Fair City,
and will furnish the entertainment in
dove-colored gowns. HavingJ sung to

soulful and approved melody bubbles
from their lips The prices of seats will
be Ti cents for the first three rows and

YESTERDAY'S CONVENTION.
Democracy Split A Dry Meet
ingFarmers Dictate.
The democratic county convention was
called to order at 11 a. m., yesterday by
A. F. Hershner, chairman of the central
committee. In a few words he stated
that the election of temporary officers
was in order, whereupon A. F. Hersh
nerwas elected chairman, Adam Wil
helm jr., of Monroe, secretary, and J. D.
Johnson, Corvallis, assistant secretary.
Upon motions the following committees
were appointed and instructed to reoort
ldt 'ouy. m on permanent organization,
credentials,
order of business, and reso-
lutions.
Called to order promptly at 1:30. The
committee ou permanent organization
handed in their report, which was
adopted, declaring the temporary officers
the permanent officers of the convention.
Committee on order of business reported,
giving the order of the nominations to
come before the convention tail first
Committee on credentials found 92 dele
gates entitled to seats in the convention.
The chairman appointed C. O. Wells
and George Houck tellers and said the
convention was ready to receive nomi
nations for six delegates to the state and
district convention. Moved that the six
nominees receiving the largest number
of votes, should be declared delegates.
Following were the nominees with the
vote received: John Burnett 72, P.
Avery 67, S. G. Thompson 51, T. W. -B.
Smith 49, Carlile 45, W. O. Heckart 44,
who were declared delegates. Other
nominees, A Wilhelm 36, Fred Oberer
35, J. R. Markley 35, Wm. Mackay 34,
John McGee 32, J. J. Bryan 9, W. S.
McFadden 4, Skipton 2, scattering 8.
The chairman had hardly got the
words coroner out of his mouth when
Dr. J. M. Applewhite was placed in nom
ination. This seemed to touch the funnv
! place. of every delegate and 'the hall
roared with democratic laughter. W. J.
Fitzpatrick was then nominated by accla
mation, as was also Arthur Johnson for
county commissioner and A. J. Locke for
surveyor.
For assessor, E Skipton and Asa Alex
ander were placed in nomination. A bal
lot resulted 67 to 25 in favor cf Mr. Alex
ander. For treasurer Robert Erwin, and
Win. Buchanan were nominated. A bal
lot decided the contest in favor of Mr.
Buchanan by 62 to 28, with two scatter
ing votes. .
For county school superintendent E.
L Bryan was nominated by acclamation
amid great enthusiasm from all delegates.
For recorder V. E. Watte'rs was nomi
nated by acclamation.
For county clerk the Corvallis dele
gates placed in nomination Ira Hunter,
and the Monroe delegates Emery Hcrron
who tried very hard to muster an ap
plause, but could not A ballot nomi
nated Ira Hunter by 60 31, while one
delegate still wanted Waters for clerk,
showing himself true to his pledge.
Bill Gird could not be quick enough
to offer the name of David A. Osbora
for sheriff and the chairman as quickly
closed the nominations and he was de
clared the candidate by acclamation.
When called for a voice no doubt auth
orized said, "He's sent word he'd see us
down town."
For county judge J. A. Cau thorn had
55 followers aud "Rat" Holgate, 37.
A resolution was then offered to the
effect that the state delegates go to the
state convention nni'istructed as to joint
senator, but act in conjunction with
Lincoln county delegates in selecting a
candidate. For representative G. R.
Hall of Monroe was placed iu nomina
tion bv A. Wilhelm. ir.. amid creat
laughter and applause, and Mr. Hall
jumped to his feet to decline, but the
Monroe delegation made the hall ring
with "down! down!" But the gentleman
persisted until he was permitted to de
cline, saying, "I'm obliged to ye, but I
can't serve you. The Monroe delegation
was not satisfied, so Mr. Wilhelm again
jumped up and nominated J. W. Ingle
of Philomath and J. D. Johnson of Cor
vallis. A. F. Hershner was then nomi
nated amid a great deal of noise, result
ing, A. F. Hershner 46, J. D. Johnson 32,
Ingle 12.
The democratic convention to-day fur
nished the most complete illustration
imaginable of hard times. Not a dele
gate was drunk, a thing which has not
occurred before since the days of Jack
son. We can welbsee what the Cleve
land administration has brought us to
when 92 democrats meet in dry conven
tion and nominate each other without,
mercy, although they know every one
of them is doomed to defeat. The most
noticeable feature of the convention was
a set of resolutions which was intended
to be used as a platform during the next
canvass. The most prominent part of
democratic politics for many years has
been its platforms, which have uniformly
been honored more in the breach than
the observance and are to-day looked
upon as the cheapest of all claptraps to
catch credulous voters. No intelligent
( democrat expects a sensible man to place
any confidence 111 his platlorm; tue won
der is that he preserved cheek enough to
make any promises to the people what-
Democracy, being of southern birth,
has claimed the chivalry and gallantry
of the south. The Benton county dem
ocrats are a long ways from home and
have forgotten their mothers and sisters
when they, iu a resolution designed as
part of a party platform and for the
purpose of their own political advance
ment, cast a vile and contemptible slur
upon the young ladies who were em
ployed to act as clerks of committees in
the last legislature. We have not the
space at this time to show the enormity
of J.his insult to worthy young ladies,
who have, like young men, sought and
obtained employmet at the state capitol
during the session of the legislature, and
will only say the resolution cannot but
brand the convention which passed it as
one which all good people should feel
ashamed to admit was held in the loth
century. - ' '
