The report " was adopted, with the
amendment that the temporary officers
of the convention be made permanent,
The report of the committee on reso
lutions was adopted, and is as follows :
To tbe democratic county convention.
Gentlemen: We your committee,
appointed' to draft resolutions, beg leave
to report as follows :
Resolved, That we, as democrats of
Wasco county; are in favor of an early
completion ' of the cascade locks, and
that tbe work be done by contract. And
would urge upon our representatives in
congress to give that matter their un
divided attention at all times when con
sistant for them to do Bo.". ' .
'-Resolved, That it is the - unanimous
wish of the democratic party of Wasco
county, that the congress of the United
States extend the time of payment by
settlers upon forfeited railroad land to
two years from February l6t, 1893. .
: Resolved, That this convention Jieartly
endorse ' the administration of Gov.
Pennoyer, and especially - his actions in
relation to portage railways in this
stat.? r'Vi -if-': .? I'-
'Resolved, That we heartily endorse the
action of our -democratic majority in
congress in distinguishing between - the
generous expenditure of public' money
for a proper purpose, such as the re
moval of obstructions in a great river,
furnishing ' a broad and commodious
highway to the interior of four or five
states, and the squandering and trifling
away - of said"' public money -in useless
and "unnecessary public extravagance.
And, as "an illustration of this "disposi
tion to distinguish between ' the worthy
and unworthy,' we point with pride to j
the action of the democratic majority of i
the congressional - committee on' rivers j
and harbors,' in recommending appro-
priations of $436,000 for the improve-:
m'ent of the Columbia ' river at the cas-
cade locks, $150,000 for the improvement ;
of the upper Columbia "and Snake rivers,
$300,000 for the improvement of the
mouth of the Columbia river, and $50,- :
000 for the lower Columbia and Willam
ette rivers, at the same . time they are;
cutting down unnecessary and uncalled !
for appropriations for all trifling pur. j
poses and sham . improvements, and
carefully economizing in the expendi-'.
ture of the people's money.
Resolved, That- believing that tariff
reform is and should be the natural bat
tle cry and watchword of the democratic
party, in this campaign, and believing
that Grover Cleveland, of the ' whole
United States, is the natural champion
of that principle;' and admiring, as !we
do, his honesty, courage and statesman-
ship; and believing - tht -he -should be
made the presidential candidate of "the
democratic party in the coming national
convention; now, therefore, - it is re
solved, that our "delegates to the State
convention be instructed -to . favor dele
gates to the National convention . who
will support Grover Cleveland for presi
dent, and to favor a . resolution in the
State convention - instructing, the dele
gates from this state to support him for
nomination to that high office. -
Resolved, That- we believe . that the
time has come when there should be a
reduction in the compensation of the
clerk and sheriff in lhis county, to the
same basis which they receive in 'the
other counties of the state: and we
therefore pledge our candidates for the
legislature to favor an act cutting off the
extra 33J per cent, over tbe regular fees
of other counties now allowed to them
by law. - -
Resolved, That a feeling prevails
throughput the county of Wasco that
useless extravagance has accompanied
the actions of our county court during
its present administration. .

Senator Hill said recently to an inteV
viewer that when he went to the senate
to be sworn in "and strode forward -in
the senate chamber the impression came
over me of being in a pit of Berne kind, a
hole dug and walled in, and people peep
ing over." When he reads the proceed'
Logs of the Harrisburg, Pa., democratic
convention today the thought may .come
to him that he actually "is in a hole."
Glanders is prevalent to. an ' alarming
extent in . San Francisco, horses dying

former. A few years since- while the

a brief time ne was dead. ..
The mines which are attracting bo
many people pver-in Washington,- are

wagon road. Rich discoveries of gold
and silver bearing quartz are reported
and a general stampede to the district
will soon begin. -
It is said that one young man, enlisted
in Company F, O. N. G., refused to go
to the front, when his comrades - were
called upon to march to Vale. A num
ber were excused on account of sickness
or urgent business, and it is said that
this one will probably have reason for
wishing that he had taken his chances
with bis comrades, if there were any to
be taken, before he gets through with it,
