Mr. Bennett's Power to bway an' Audi enceThe Resolutions as Fi nally Adopted. The democratic convention which ad journed at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon to prevent a free fight, reconvened at 4 o'clock and seated R. L. Head, the Ta coma man who wanted a seat in the convention. At the evening meeting the orgies of the afternon were repeated, differing only in their greater intensity. The proceedings were Bacchanalian in their abandon, as far at least as conversation was concerned. They thought no more of violating the third commandment given to Moses than if it was never written. Almost the first remark made was the announcement by a party who secured recognition by the chairman, who said: "We are here to call things by their right name, and I want to say the republicans are a party of G d thieves and robbers." The applause v;u .PBfirel r.hin remark wan terrific : no rep root was administered, ana as u license were granted for indecency of peech, the vilest oaths in the category of English expression were henceforth frequent and shameless. This morning many of the more repu table democrats in attendance sought to modify the impression generally made by apologizing for their presence, saying they would never have attended if they had known the meeting was to have been so disgraceful. The first business of the meeting was the election of permanent officers. H. McGuire nominated J. J. Kelley for president, seconded by various mem bers. W. F. Butcher then nominated Geo. Chamberlain, saying that he pre ferred a man of some intelligence. Intilligence!" shouted a young Irish men named Gates in the rear end of the hall, "it is not intilligence we want, but a worker, one who can corral the votes. If a man was intilligent, faith he moight go over to the other side." A Babel of noises followed the remark, and long before the election was made, Butcher's prophecy of the afternoon was confirmed, for the delegates "made aeses of them selves," not only for the republicans to laugh at, but everyone in attendance who was not too thoroughly disgusted. Hayden opened the fight against Kelley by saying that when he ran on the dem ocratic ticket for the legislature he said he did not want any democratic votes. The discussion became general and the remark made by Hayden was reiterated by ' H. P. McGuire. "You are a liar," said Pat Powers, and it looked as if a personal encounter between the two was inevitable. To prevent blows an adjournment indefinitely was moved and lost. Mr. Butcher tried to avoid diffi culty by moving a stated time for ad. journment, a year hence, but it was voted down. Seeing that, an adjourn ment was impossible a member moved for a compromise candidate and nomin ated Hon. A. S. Bennett. That gentle. man refused to accept the office and another member pominated Mr. S. B. Houston of Baker City. He was elected amid a great show of enthusiasm Geo. Herbert of The Dalles was elected vice president and R. L. Hayden of Portland was elected secretarv. The dogs of war were again turned loose when the secretary read the report of the committee on resolutions. The hour having grown so late, and no hint of them having developed, it was gen erally supposed there would be none, and when the secretary announced them, many were surprised. It was agreed the entire report would be read and after wards adopted one by one. Each reso lution was productive of much, discus sion and it was evident the delegates were hopelessly divided. The one relating to the income tax, which was adopted, was most interest ing. Hayden denounced it in vigorous terms, saying it was, an inBuTt to the rich, and that he would not support it or any man that did support it. He was followed by others in a similar strain, and the fate of the resolution seemed to be sealed. At this point Hon. A. S. Bennett arose. ' His opening words at once riveted the attention of the audience and the meeting became as quiet as it had previously been noisy. Not a word was lost. Mr. Bennett has a striking individuality. Logical and convincing in argument, his manner is in striking contrast with his language. His favorite attitude is an awkward shifting of one foot over the other, with the toes turned in, like an uneasy school "boy, and the expression of his countenance has juvenile innocence to match. This gives him an expression of artless dignity which, with a temper impossible to ruffle, makes his words . so potent Added to this is an apparent willingness to be generous to an opponent, but the effect is to more helplessly enmesh him in the subtle net. So last night he said while he was willing to believe that the gentlemen who had spoken were of greater experience than himself, he favored the income tax more as a means to attract the votes of the workingmen than anything else. That these people had been legislated against - by the re publican party, and the rich ones favored by the same party, which amounted to nothing less than class legislation, and it was time for the democratic party to show a willingness to first consider them. But," he ingeniously added, "believe, too, that the measure is a just one," and then he went "on in that quiet, forceful manner of his, giving many reasons why he favored the income tax and wanted it to be a feature f the resolutions. When he had finished, converts could be found on all hands. One man who had vio lently opposed it arose and said that he would object to it no longer and would now like to see it carried, and being sub jected to a vote it was carried by a big majority, bringing victory out of defeat. Mr. Bennett has a force which would be dangerous if exerted wrongly, but is a power for good. when his sympathies are enlisted for a proper case. The dem ocratic party is fortunate to number him among them, but the meeting of Tuesday night does not do him honor. Another resolution which made pande monium reign afresh was that endorsing the Cleveland platform and the Cleve land administration, but notwithstand ing itStincougraous makeup, was passed. The McKinley tariff was denounced. Other resolutions were as follows : Resolved, That we warn the people of our common country, jealous for the preservations of their free institutions, that the policy of federal control of elections to which the republican party has committed itself is fraught with the gravest dangers, scarcely less momentous than would result from a revolution practically establishing a monarchy on the ruins of a republic. Resolved, That the present time is ripe for perfecting the organization of the democratic party of the state of Oregon, and in so doing to-embrace with in its fold all who will join it in the patriotic effort to resist the many abuses of the party in power in this state, by repeal ing the laws that are unjust and op pressive, and substituting in their places others making the taxes 'lighter, and giving laws that .will check the centrali zation of power in the interest of cor porations and will bring the capitalist and wage-earner stability and perma nency that will secure productive invest ment to the first and constant employ ment to the latter. Resolved, That we denounce that at tempt of the republican majority of the last legislature of Oregon to destroy the Australian ballot law, and we commend the patriotic course of Hon. C. H. Wood- ard, the . republican senator who has dared to vote against the decree of the republican caucus on this question. Resolved, That we reccomend to the consideration of the voters of Oregon the system of legislation known as the in itiative and referendum. Resolved, That we favor the passage of a law providing that non-residents shall not serve as peace officers in the settle ment of labor disputes, and that the Pinkerton and other private police shall be prohibited. Resolved, That we condemn as unpatri otic and. un-American any organization, secret or otherwise, which seeks . to ap ply a religious test as a qualification for holding office. Resolved, That we approve of the sys tem of distributing such of the public institutions of the state among different sections thereof, so far as the same can be done, without impairing the efficiency or economy of their management. And in this connection we approve of the act of the last legislature providing for a soldiers' home in Southern Oregon and an insane asylum in Eastern Oregon ; and, ' Resolved, further, that the building of these institutions and the erection of the jute mills at Salem will provide much needed work for the unemployed in our state ; that we favor the speedy con struction of the same. And finally we recommend that the executive commit tee be instructed and empowered to ap point an organizer of clubs in every county in the state. Special Services at the M. E. Church.

Jan. 6th, 1894, at 4:30 a. m., Alex. Johnson, aged 21 years and 4 months. The funeral occurred at the school house at 12 o'clock Tuesday, Rev. M. C. Aleridge officiating, and the remains were laid to rest in Mosier Falls ceme tery. He was born in Westewik, Sweden, Sept. 6th, 1872; came to this country in 1887, locating at Mosier with his brother, William Johnson. He was a most excellent young man, noted for his kind deeds and charitable ness, and will be sadly missed by all who knew him. He was one of those meek and quiet spirits whose very look was love, and whose actions were the manifestations of goodness. He leaves in the earthly home, from which the sunshine of his presence is gone, the father and mother, four brothers and three sisters. While they mourn, it is not as those who have no hope, but they all look forward to a glorious re union beyond the skies. I know his face is hid Under the collin lid; Closed are his eyes; cold is his forehead fair. My nana tnat mar Die felt, O'er it in prayer I knelt: Yet my heart whispers that he is not here. A CASE OF CONSCIENCE. Hew a Lawmaker Avoided Telling; a Di- rect Lin.' "Soma of our lawmakers," said a veteran lobbyist, who had had exper ience in many capitals, "have very curious consciences. I remember on one occasion that it became neces sary to have a certain man in a certain state legislature on our side in a little legislation of importance, and it was my duty to look after him. I did so, with various attentions, including wines, dinners, and so on, and at last, as I couldn't fix him, I plumped a thousand dollar bill at him. My, my, but he was hot. " 'No man can bribe me, sir! No man can bribe me,' he fairly yelled, and he tore up and down in such a violent manner that I discreetly pocketed my thousand and left him. The next day I don't know, of course, how it could have happened one or two newspapers that didn't like my man published an intimation that the lobbyists were taking care of him. Then he was hot ter than ever, and the next night I sent a lady lobbyist in my employ to see him. She came back to me in an hour without the thousand dollars and said he was all right. Then I saw him, and the next day he had a card in all the papers to the effect that he had repelled with scorn the advances of a lobbyis and that be had accepted a bribe from no man. When the bill came up he voted with us and no comment was made because h had been on the fence anyway and nobody, except the few, knew how he would vote. All the same, he took a roundabout way to avoid tell- iner a straight lie, didn't he?" and the lobbyist laughed. Detroit Free Press. Captain Sweeney, ' U. S.
