PRICE TWO : CENTS A' r r n r nriMitM 1 A i niA KtuULAh KtrUbLIUANo iiREFusKlttlARTieiplrE Their: Prdtest Unheeded in i tKe County Convention- '' One "hundred and seven of the one hunr dred and; atxty-evni delegate selected to the Republican, county v convention, met thjt mernSn In A. QU. W. ball, and ratified the state prepared jit th Inde pendent caucus lt tight. ; ; : ' The session was devoid of excitement; the-ratification being the dullest and dry est of routine work. With very few e captions the Regular Republicans refused to partlolpete.j ; 1 r,The greater number of the Regulars met last 'night and prepared' a protest which was read In the convention at the -request of - J Mills,- who, however, did not sign It,, The protest declared that the majority, did not act fairly, or In good faith and that It was Useless for the minority to attend the further se! slon of the convention. The only. Regular Republican delegates present .were: A. L. Mills. B. B. Cardwell, Col.' John McOwcken, WUWs &' Dunnlwy, Fred T. Merrill, 84 J, LaFrans and U R. Wheeler. With the exception of Mr. , Mills, who made a brief spech, wnen Jie presented the protest, nope of these rentlemen had anything to say during the deliberations or tne body. In fact, there was lltu to say, as everytRlng was cut and dried. ' Chairman Courtney rapped the conven tion to order at 10:90 o'clock. The ab sence of the delegates who were elected on ;be Regular Republican ticket, Wat ; the conspicuous figure . of the opening scene." One-third of the chairs were va cant, and the only Regular Republicans, , wuh a few shining exceptions, in the an dlence wer seated in, the. gallery A. JU MU)s got the floor in the start and saia ne .spoke 'as one of th minority. which ha grown steadily leas. He t iievea tnat tne primary Jaw . was very . fair and the eleotion held under It Vas also fair,". He believed that the majority should rule, but It was contrary to the spirit of the primary-law to refuse to 4 recognise the minority. He protested against any caucus, action where 63 dele gates could dlotate to the ' convention. Ho also believed that none should quit .Ho knew that this was, not the sentiment of his faction. He was no quitter and did not , believe, tn going out and playing in somebody else's back yard. He thought th minority should accept the . will of; the majority; This was. he said. the 'only way which the party in Mult nomah County, could hold together. Mr. Mills then presented a protest of the minority, signed by fifty delegates, which, the secretary, read. THE PROTEST. . In the, protest regular Republicans an nounced their intention of not sitting in the vonventioa oV sharing the responsi biuty of IX acts. They resented th.e ac tion of tb.e 'Independents in the first con vention, and .charged them with usurpa tion of rights and ignoring the minority and with, violation p promises;, with mak log a machine Instead of smashing one! The protest went on toisay: VTh -wrongs we,, complain of Is not that you madea slaU, not that you are a ma chine, so much as that you have violated your solemn promise to the people that ' yon would never have any machine or make slater A. ,3 "Tot? . did not mean to 'have us pftrtlcl lat in, the Seleottoa of candidates.
