Those w ho are Interested in econ omy in county finances and in just assessments, are Invited to read the brief remarks of Judge Hartman and Assessor C. P. Strain, at the Pilot Rock democratic meeting Monday night, published in today’s East Or egonian. This is a refreshing and clear cut statement of facts and tig tires which it will pay any taxpayer to read. The record of the county court during the past four years, under Judge Hartman's direction, is one that the people of this county may well be proud of. It will be the best of economy to continue this same policy for four years more, in order to get entirely out of debt. Judge Hartman is now in touch with the situation, has studied and planned to reduce the county indebtedness and no new man, however honest or ca pable. could take up his unfinished stand by this organization, no matter work and carry it to completion.

May 21. publishes such a comprehensive and Impartial review of the political situ ation that now confronts the demo cratic party, that the East Oregonian takes pleasure in presenting the arti cle to its readers, entire. The review is written by Hamilton W. Mabie, editor of the Outlook, and is as follows: "Most of the talk as to Judge Alton B. Parker's being the inevitable choice of the democratic national con vention for president has ceased, and it is now admitted even by advocates of his nomination, that he will not only fail to have the necessary two- thirds of the delegates on the first ballot, but that he will fall short of having a majority. Thus it will be possible for a com bination against him to organize the convention. If the territories and dependencies are allowed six votes each, as is ex pected. the convention will consist of 1,000 delegates. There seems to be no thought of an attempt to abrogate the historical two-thirds rule, which has prevailed in national democratic conventions since 1832, and the candidate who wins must have 667 votes. The state conventions which have been held so far, indicate a strong sentiment in the party in favor of con- servatism. The “swing” and impulse of the party is away from the policy of Bryan, and the defeat of Hearst in Indiana last week, indicates that he cannot be nominated. But a glance over the result* of the 24 state and territorial conventions which have already acted, fails to reveal that the election of conserva tive delegates means Parker, any more than a failure to instruct for Parker means Bryanism. The delegates now elected are di vided up as follows: Parker, 12$; Hearst. 94; Gorman. 12; Olney, 25; uninstructed. 118. This would mean that the nomination will be made at St. Louis, not by men who are in structed for some particular candi- date, but by those wbo are left free to make their own choice after they get on the ground. Much will depend on the result of the state conventions in the South. Between May 25 and June 23 the states of Alabama, Tennessee, Geor gia, Kentucky, Virginia, Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Texas and North Carolina will hold their con ventions in the order given. Efforts are being made to get a candidate on whom the delegates can unite. The nomination and election of George B. McClellan to the mayoralty of New York City, were a preparation to give Tammany a controlling influ ence in nominating a democratic can- didate. • • • * Perhaps to press upon the convention the name of Mr. McClellan himself—a name still pop ular in the North and not unpopular in the South. At the proper moment, when the convention has reached an apparent ly hopeless tangle. It would not be surprising to see such an orator as Bourke Cockran rise to propose the name of George B. McClellan, amid a storm of huzzas. McClellan would be popular in the South, because his father fought the South with great consideration for its feelings; he would be popular with the old-line democracy, because his father was the candidate of that party and he would be popular with the new democracy, because he has never attacked Bryanism. This seems to be the program of Tammany and we should not be surprised to see it succeed. The success of the wool sales ia this city yesterday, should be an In ducement for the woolgrowers to stand by their organization. The top notch of the sales yesterday was 14% cents per pound, and the general av- erage of the sales was over 13 cents, whHe the wool sold by individual growers before the sales went for 12% cents and some of it as low as 10 cents per pound, proving conclus ively the helplessness of the unor ganized woolgrower against the or ganized buyer. The woolgrowers should determine after this sale, to ers in the field is due altogether to their complete organization The same doctrine is good when applied to the wool producer. Boise City spent $12.000 in ent pr taining the last meeting of the int er national Miners’ Congress and as a result of the meeting over $1000.000 was invested in Idaho mines tributary to that city. It pays to be a good con vention city. It pays and is the best possible advertisement for a city to get the convention spirit, which makes the stranger feel at home Pen dleton should make a specialty of this spirit. She should have better ac commodations for conventions in the way of assembly halls fitted with committee rooms and_ conveniences for large meetings. And tb»n the com mercial Association should maintain a permanent convention committee, whose duty shall be to invite Inland Empire meetings to this city; its duties should not stop at invitation, but this committee should be empow ered to go after every meeting in sight. The city is centrally located, has superb railroad and mail facilities and can command the attention of enough people in the Northwest to bring a dozen good conventions and meetings here each year. The state Irrigation Association and the Chris tian Endeavor Society met here last winter and the Northwest Sportsmen ure coming here in June These meet ings came without effort on the part of Pendleton. A little effort, a little aggressiveness, a little push and a little pull all together, will bring some important event to Pendleton almost every month in the year Monday, both being terribly beaten up.
