DEMOCRATIC CONCLAVE.
The
Orgies Repeated Only ' with
. Greater Intensity.
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.

DIED.

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.

Under the collin lid;
Closed are his eyes; cold is his forehead fair.

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.

FARMER LEGISLATION.
During the coming year there will be an im
mense number of matters of the most vital in
terest to farmers dealt with by Congress and the
Executive Departments at Washington. It is
highly important that the farmers be kept
promptly and fully informed as to what is being
planned and done affecting them at the National
Capital. They should all, therefore, take The
American Farmer, which, being on the ground
has better facilities than any other papers for
getting this information, and devotes itself to
this duty. They will find in it constantly a
great amount of valuable information that they
can get in no other paper. -
