The three conventions which convened in Portland last week, completed their labors on last Saturday, after having been in session four days. The result of their work is a union ticket composed of democrats, populists and free silver re publicans. The platform is an earnest and patriotic utterance, and speaks in no uncertain terms upon the issue of oppo sition to the single gold standard and the national bank issue and control of the money of the country. The conven tions were harmonious, and while their deliberations were lengthy, yet they were marked with calmness and wisdom. The ticket is composed of strong, clean men. The old political hacks were left out entirely. The conventions reached out and sought men in whom perfect confidence can be reposed. The offices were distributed as follows : Governor, state printer, superintendent of public instruction to the populists ; supreme judge, state treasurer and congressman first district to the democrats, and the secretary of state and congressman in the second district to the free silver re publicans. MONEY ISSUE IN A NUTSHELL. . Union Congress shall have sole power to coin money and regulate the value thereof. Republican The government shall go out of the banking business, and Con gress shall grant sole power to banking corporations to issue and regulate the currency of the country. This is the leading question to be dis cussed in this campaign. The Republican writers and speakers will seek to evade this main question, and will endeavor to engross the minds of the people with the relative merits of a single or a double standard, monometalism, bimetalism, honest money, fifty-cent dollars, and all the old straw that was so exhaustively threshed in the lust campaign. They will sneer at fiat money, while unablo to show a single dollar that is not fiat money. Having succeeded in electing McKinley by equivocation, misrepresen tation, intimidation, downright lying, and corrupt use of millions of dollars, they have thereby become emboldened to throw off all disguise, and openly an nounce their determination to make gold the only money for tho redemption of the immense iniquitous bonded in debtedness; to further contract the cur rency by converting the 340 millions of greebaeks into interest-bearing bonds; and to grant 'such further privileges to national banking corporations as will enable them to fix the rate of all wages, the price of all products of the soil and of machinery, and by expanding and contracting the currency at will, have all property and business at their mercy. To accede to the demands of tho gold standard Republicans would be a virtual abdication of the sovereign people of all constitutional rights or voice in tho gov ernment. H.D. CHITWOOD CHIPS. The weather is fine and people arevery busy making garden and putting in crops. Uncle Jimmy Chitwood has gone on a visit to Little Elk, and expects to attend the republican primary tomorrow at that place. J. E. Wilson has returned home from Portland where he has spent about a week. His eldest daughter has been in poor health so he took her to the Port land Sanitarium for treatment. He says she is improving rapidly and expects to be able to return home in about two or three weeks. Mr. Ilacht was down heue getting some ornimental trees at tho Chitwood Nur cery today.

Under this caption Tho Oregonian of March 251th says: "On Friday last, after the adoption of the populist platform by the democratic and silver republican conven tions without a dissenting vote, a reso lution indorsing W. J. Bryan as the lead er of the silver movement in the United States was offered to tho populist and democratic conventions and rejected by both by an overwhelming vote." I was a constant attendant in the populist con vention and know no such resolut ion was presented, and no " significant vote " taken thereon. Populists were in that convention to advunce their principles, not to boom presidential aspirants. II. Denmnukk, sr. It is becoming apparent that there has been some slick work done by some one in connection with the leiting of the contract for the construction of tbe government building in -Portland. There has been a strong effort made to have the building constructed out of Oregon material, and it was con ceded by the department that it should be given the preference, all other things being equal. When the architect was asked to disign ate Oiegon stone in the specifica tions he refused on the ground that he was not allowed to specify any particular brand of material, but was allowed to specify generally, only. With this in miud and be leaving that the architect would act in good faith Mr. G. W. Davis, of the Pioneer Stone company made considerable of an effort to secure the selection of Pioneer stone tor the work, and interested several prospective bidders in the Pioneer stone. But imagine the surprise of Mr. Davis and others interesested in the matter to find that when the bids were made out that stone was directly specified of a certain kind and from a certain quarry. The stone fpecified is from a quarry sit uated on the line between Wash ington and Idaho and is called in the specifications "Oregon stone." The Pioneer people feal that thsy have thrown down pretty hard in the matter. They have had the matter taken up by Congressman Tongue who is using his best ef forts to adjust the matter in a fair way. The Pioneer people do not ask for any advantage in the mat ter, only that the bids may be so called lor that they may furnish the stone if they can do so witn advan tage to tbe government. They do not like to be shut out of bidding by some one that has a pull on some place along the line. The quarry that the stone has been sel ected from belongs to Mile9 C. Moore, a prominent politician of the state of Washington, and this may possibly have had something to do with the selection of that par ticular kind of stone. i
