Reamea of Jackson county wa nominated for congressman on the first ballot by the democratic convention of the First Oregin district thl morning. The other candidates were 3. A. Jeffrey of Marlon, W. Kelser of Marion and William Galloway of Clackamas. To cement the various Interest and avoid dissensions, the several applicants had been placated with honorary appoint ments In the convention, thus greasing Reamea' pathway and providing for his unanimous nomination.

Galloway, temporary sec retary., and U. B. Montague of I,'nn, assistant secretary, were made perma nent. , Tlie platform was adopted unani mously as follows: "We are unalterably opposed to the present trust dictation of our financial tuilff legislation, especially as exmp- lined by the Atdrich and Fowler bills now pending before congress, and de clare such control harmful to good gov ernment. "There Is an overwhelming demand from a vast majority of the people for revision of the tariff along rational lines. We repudiate the absurd prop osition of continuing high protection on products of the gigantic trusts now grown to plethoric wealth under gov ernmental favors. "We demand favorable action In lelu of mere promises In securing federal Improvement of our river and har bors. "W demand the passage of effective law controlling the trusts, and sincere efforts to enforce them. "Publlo lands belong of right to the peopta and any attempt to alienate said lands -contrary to law should be condemn -at the bar of public opin ion, we therefore favor an honest adm inistration of the land department, as well aa all other departments. "The administration of Governor Chamberlain Is Justly receiving the commendation of the people, Irrespect Ive of party, apd the record of the dem ocratlo party In the recent legislature reflects honor upon the party, and Wl'l redound to the welfare of the state. We commend their earnest endeavor to curtail publlo expenditures In the Interest of the taxpayers." Reamea in his speech, confessed that It had long been his desire to go to congress nnd that he expected to ee hi ambition realised. After cheering Beamea, the conven tion adjourned at noon.

He said that with out an officer tor command, the rank Jackson ; County Democrats of District : and file were absolutely helpless, and that most of the officers were little bet ter than the privates, for score of them w ho were captured were found to be unable to do such a simple thing a roi k th;lr meals. He said ths British soldier could not shoot, having little knowledge of firearms. In rushing one camp and rapturing It the Boer found the soldiers were shooting at a H.200 years aftter the Boers' case became Uoei were creeping up. He said the IkM-rs lived on whatever they captured from the British anny apd for nine months went without salt. In conclusion General Vlljoen aald Kngland had promised to give them fair treatmsnt, and later what would be practically freedom. , At present the Boers were merely 4 conquered people In the worst of poverty, , He mid the reason the war lasted for two year) after the Boer case became hopeless was because they were cut off from outslds communication and were looking fur a Lafayette or a Dewey to turn up to aid them In their fight.
