THE OREGON DAILY .JOURNAL, PORTLAND, FRIDAY EVENING, 'MARCH 1 18, 1901 CAREY PROPOSES MATTHEWSDISPOSES V;'i' that Is the View of Skeptics Regarding the Dec . laration -That Tomorrow's Republican Con- -, ventioiu Will be a Free-For-All ; Is) the Republican county4 convention, Which meets tomorrow mornlngr, to be programmed as to the 'nominations for county of flees V This Is the Inquiry which scores of Republican politicians are anxiously making- today; and upon the .answer de pend the hope ;of many of the candi dates. Judge Carey Buys that it wilt ' be an open convention, and declares that ' with the exception- ot the legislative ticket there will be no slate, but the belief Is widespread that Jack .Matthews purposes to run the convention, and that the nominations for, the county offices will be cut and dried before the dele gates aemble. Carey proposes, say the skeptics, but Matthews disposes. i "If this Is an open convention," , said one prominent Mitchell Republican, "it will be the first for time whereof the - memory of man runneth not to the con trary." . . - ."Despite all protestations, it will be a late from start to finish," said another observer Of the situation.. "Every man nominated will be one ot the ring." v. . Many, of the party workers and dele-Kates-elect called at Judge Carey's of fice this morning to learn whether the convention was to be programmed, and lis assured them all that it would not be. "There will be no slate as to county offices," declared Carey. "I want an open convention, in which the candidates who are the most popular or who have done the most work for the party can win. ' The delegates must make their own choice of nominees without any in terference.' - ' ' What IS Matthews Doing? ' But many people who do not question Judge Carey's sincerity believe that Jack Matthews is secretly making up a slate which will be put through- In the good i old style which has characterised Re publican oounty conventions in this county from time immemorial. . : Interest centers in the nominations for sheriff and assessor. The nomination for sheriff seems to lie between Charles E. McDonell and W. A. Storey, although predictions are not wanting that James Stott may forge to the front, especially If there is a slate, and H. C Smith has many warm supporters. Councilman Rumelln has beetv-looked upon as a dark horse in the race, but said this morning that his name would not go before the convention. , . Storey is working hard to line up delegates for himself, and will probably- go Into th-eonvntien -with con slderable strength. He ; expects at least the Indirect support of the Mitch ell machine, as a reward for the assist ance he gave before the primaries In placing all the patronage of hi office at the disposal of . the managing com '. roittee. -' .: .!-- t "They took Storey's money," said one of his friends. The least they can do now Is to give aim the nomination." But there is a general belief that Storey will prove a weak candidate be fore the people, and his administration : of his office has not commended him to the better element of the party. JBtorey hopes to be" on the Matthews slate and the fact that Cader Powell, who la I 'dose confidant of Matthews, and Fred Matthews, a brother of the" boss, are deputies in the sheriff's office. Is men tioned as one of the reasons ' why . Storey's hopes should be well founded- Friend of Stott meet this 'argument with the reminder that Cader Powell. -County Auditor Brandes, County Treas urer Lewis, United States District At torney John Hall and Stott are all con nected by marriage, and claim that the latter has a powerful lever .through this circumstance. A rumor Is current that Stott and H. C. Smith have effected a secret agreement, whereby the former Is to have Smith's support for the nom ination and In return Smith la to be made ahlef deputy sheriff. This Is .em phatically denied by Smith's friends, who assert that he Is out for first place only.- ', , If the convention la In fact to be an open-onetiacDonell profjpectsTieein good, .He has a large personal follow ing and is confident that, with ft fair field and no favors, he ean carry off the prize. lie - has the support of some prominent and influential members of the party, who are desirous of seeing substantial reforms and economies in the sheriff's office. They argue that McDonell's administration - of the as sessor's office is sufficient guaranty that If made sheriff he would correct ' the abases which have long existed In that department An effort is being made by some 'of those opposed to McDonell to line up against him the 11 Simon COTTON KING" S FORCED TO WALL 'WW?-. , ( votes In the convention, but at most this effort will be but partially success ful. " Out for Assessorshlp. ' Much uncertainty prevails as to the nomination for assessor, h. H. Max well is regarded as well 'qualified for the place, through his ong familiarity with the duties of the office, but it Is a question whether his name will be found on the slate. C. R. Straus is making a vigorous fight for the nomination, and has the backing of some strong Influence. Councilman B. D. Slgler Is developing considerable strength and might be programed for the nomination, though this is regarded as improbable by the friends of both of the other candidates mentioned. .' ''.''; '. . It is the general impression' that if Judge Carey does not wish to preside over the convention A. A. Courtney, who held the gavel two years ago, will be made chairman. He. has the reputation of being a good parliamentarian and very expeditious In the transaction -of busi ness." . . ' -.- " ; ,: The . legislative nominations will be programed by Judge Carey and his com mittee. They will meet tonight for the purpose of considering the long list of aspirants. - The question of prime Im portance Is the selection of successors for the four senators, for the nominees will : have-:"pportunlty to vote for United States senator in 1907.- Frank P. Mays, Judge -Carey's partner, desires to go. bartc to ' the; senate, and C. W, Ilodson, who was chairman of the Mult nomah delegation In the last legislature, would like to be promoted from the lower to the upper house. . Big Sichel, the-police commissioner, Is, a strong probabil ity, and A. A. Courtney; . Whitney I Boise and Dr. E. O. Clark are also under consideration. D. J. Malarkey has been strongly urged for one of the senatorial nominations, but his course In the last United' States senatorial contest excited the opposition of, some of the machine leaders, and he is not likely to be on the slate. - If not nominated "for' state senator. It Is understood that he may be come a candidate for district attorney, although Malarkey himself declines to make any statement on this point. The prediction" was" Tnadethts-mornlnsrby a prominent Republican that Hod son, "5U lard Jones and Slg Sichel would be three of the four nominees for state senator. Jac;Matthewshe some, grudges to satisfy as the result of the last regular session of the legislature, W. W. Banks and C. W. Nottingham both excited his wrath because of their refusal to fol low program In the scheme to" pass the senatorial gold brick to Harvey Scott Banks Is not eligible for another tern in the legislature, having received the appointment ot assistant United States district attorney. 'Nottingham will-not be renominated,, for Matthews .has put him on the blacklist' Some other mem bers ot the last legislature who showed a little too, much independence also re to be turned down. , The Mitchell faction Will go Into the convention at the Empire theatre at it a. m. toraorrqw- with US delegates, the Simon "faction with U.. ;: . , 1 v The Corrected Xetnras.

'1 JURISTS SYMPTOMS CAUSE AN ALARM '"Say, do you know, I feel Just like a boiled owlT I am far from being well yet" This was the remark of M. C. -George, Judge of department 4 In the state Cir cuit court, as he sat In bis . chamber this . morning, discussing the results of the primaries with a number of friends. "How does It feel to feel like a Douea Owl, Judge?" Inquired John Logan, the law librarian. " . "Well, I have flushes of fever, and then comes a chill. . There Is a sort of prickly sensation between my shoulder blades, and something In the nature of a rash is breaking out on my right arm." H. C Smith, chief deputy in the state f r6m precinct 61. at Mount Tabor, In stead of Mr. Coleman, as has been pub lished. The highest number of votes capt for a delegate to the Democratic county convention was H, in precinct 45.

Every effort of the detectives to find a trace of the missing lad was futile and U was only through a porter on an O. R. & N. train, who rec ognized him, that tils location was learned. -' , - ' . On leaving the school he loafed about the city for a few days, so he told the porter, -until the . detectives came too close In their search. Then it was that fearing arrest, he made for his old home at La Grande. He told the porter that be boarded the train without money but that a kind-hearted elderly woman took pity on him and passed him as her son. "I won't make any further effort to bring him back," said Mrs. Katherln Ramsay, his aunt who sent him to the Hill academy. "I am willing to help him and wanted to give him an educa tion. But he didn't seem to like It and ran away. There's nothing else to It" EASTERN VISITORS TAKE IN CITY HALL According to the authorities at the city hall there are more strangers in Portland let present than for sometime. The corridors of the municipal building were crowded this morning with visit ors who viewed the museum exhibits with the enthusiasm of tourists. From the lower floor, where the royal Bengal tiger looks more ferocious In his stuffed condition than he did, perhaps., in the Jungle wilds, to the top floor and the registration room, wandered the city s visitors. The registration book shows that they come from all parts of the country, particularly from the middle west One party of 12 registered this morning from Omaha, They explained that they were making an extensive tour of the Pacific coast which they have almost concluded, and that Portland Is by no means the least Interesting place visited. . .. ' 'The visitors seem to- be prosperous people above the average Intelligence," said a city hall habitue this morning. "The greater part seem to havo come to Portland to settle, though there are large numbers of tourists visiting the hall at present It Is a common thing to hear thera epeakingof the coming Lewis and Clark fair, A great .number have taken advantage of the low railroad rates to see the northwest and are hav ing the. time of their lives. They go chattering through the hall like, child ren enjoying a holiday. All . seem to take great Interest In the museum ex hibits." ' VISITING STOCKMAN DROPS FROM SIGHT The police were notified this afternoon of the disappearance of George E. Ral ston, a wealthy - stockbreeder, recently from Waukon. Iowa He registered at the Vendome Jiotel, corner of Thirteenth and Alder streets, on March 9.. and left on the following day. It is feared be has met with foul play1. . When Mr.' Ralston left the hotel he told the elevator boy that he was going out to see the town, and displayed quite a large sum of money. The fact that he has not returned since, although his ef fects are still at the hotel, has aroused suspicion. The : police were Informed that Mr. Ralston has relatives In Mllwaukle, a suburb of this city, but they have not been able as yet to locate them. . MRS.
