He brought with him four children from

Fisher by name, goes to Mr. A. McLeod.
The boy parted from Mr. Gardiner with
the regretful look of a child bidding a

COUNTY CONVENTION.
A Good Strong Ticket Named for
Republican Candidates,
Hon. W. II. Dufur Takes the Initiative
In Introducing a Popular Measure
Brilliant Speeches Close the
: Convention..
The last legislature passed the follow
ing law: "Women over the aee of
twenty-one years who are citizens of the
united btates and of this state, ehall be
eligible to all educational offices within
this state. All acts and parts of acts in
conflict with this act are herebv .
pealed." In Gilliam countv. conse
quently, a number of ladies are aspirants
lor the position of county school super
intendent. Unfortunatelv for their as
pirations, the constitution of Oregon,
paragraph 8, article 6, says : "No ner-
son shall be elected or aDDointed to a
county office who shall not be an elector
oi. the county."
A. Baiolntion Overlooked.
The following was one of the most im
portant resolutions to be offered In the
republican county convention yesterday.
Kesolved : That in view of the unsatis
factory manner in which assessments
for the purpose of taxation are now made
under our present laws and the tenure
of office of county assessor, that we urge
upon our members of the next legisla
ture the necessity of changing the term
of office of county assessor to six years,
and that they be placed upon an annual
salary equal to that of county clerk.

.. Nominations for county officers began
about 3 :30 o'clock in the convention
yesterday afternoon.
M. T. Nolan moved that the successful
candidate receive a maioritv of all votes
cast, and Mr. Menefee moved that the
oaiiotmg be done . by precincts. Four
tellers were appointed and the balloting
proceeded until at 6:15 o'clock-the last
candidate on the ticket was nominated
The nominations are as follows : "
. Sheriff T. J. Driver.
Clerk A. M. Kelsay.
Superintendent of schools Troy
aneiiey.
Assessor F. H. Wakefield.
Treasurer Wm. Michell.
Coroner W. H. Butts.
County commissioner A. S. Blowers
Surveyor F. S. Sharp. .
On motion of W. H. H. Dufur Frank
Menefee was chosen chairman of the
county central committee by acclama
tion and H. H. Riddell secretary, the
delegates to be chosen by the separate
precincts. ,,.
ai. i. jNoian moved that in case any
delegate to the state convention'failed to
attend, the. majority of the delegation
should cast his vote, but the motion was
overlooked and did not carry. On motion
of W. H. H.Dufur; unanimously carried
that the delegation be instructed to cast
their vote for Hon. W. R. Ellis first.' lank
and all the time.
Earlier in the' session the following
resolution wai passed.
Whereas. At 'the
session of the Oregon legislature, an act
ws passea aooiisning "the fee system"
relating to the pay of clerks and sheriffs
and '

district convention be instructed to de
mand a pledge of all candidates for the
legislature, that if elected, they will use
meir uesi enoris to secure the passage of
a bill reducing the salary of clerk of
Vasco county to $1,200 per annum, and
that of sheriff tn tLWIi
eether with all 1 Intro
clerical aid, as provided for in said act.
Mr. Anderson, of the committee on
resolutions, now reported another hafoh
of them, and Mr. Dufur arose and hand
ed in another, recommending that the
convention favor the passage of the in
itiative and referendum which he wanted
the personal honor of handing in himself.
He supported it in a vigorous speech of
some length. Mr. Anderson of the - Du
fur delegation opposed it, on the ground
that the members of the convention bad
not had opportunity to study it. He
had studied it and concluded that while
the measure might be . feasible in such
an old i settled country aa . Switzerland,
which rarely changed nd comparatively
rarely framed a law. it would not do W
such a state as Oregon to adopt if, when
i
at me last legislature 600 bills and 400
joint ; resolutions were considered. nr
only four minutes for the three readings,
arguments ana nnal disposition of every
bill for the 40 days session. He opined
that the legislature would be flooded
with bills from the people from which
there would be no extrictation.'
Mr. Dufur again spoke upon the merits
of the bill, but did not a second time
make an extended argument, and the
discussion oi toe resolution came to an
end by the chairman announcing that
lack of time precluded extended argu
ment on resolutions. . Mr. Anderson
moved to indefinitely postpone the re
mainder of . the resolutions and the
motion carried. '.
The. different precincts then named
tne central committeemen as they were
called :
Falls M P Ash. ' -

Mr. Nolan, on behalf of the conven
tion, invited the chair to express a few
republican principles, and in response
Mr. Harlan arose. . Brimming over with
good nature, with kindly regard beaming
from his eyes, toward all who were in
that house, he was greeted with applause
as he arose. Hid speech was..forceful,
with a liberal sprinkling of wit, and cal
culated to heal the sore spots which are
unavoidably made in conventions. He
related the many beneficent acts of the
party crystalized in legislation, and ac
cused the democratic party of commit
ting every crime for political ends murder
not excepted. He referred to Bobs Mc-
Kane of. Gravesend, and' Albert Ross,
killed . a few days ago in Troy, for
showing up a democratic repeater. His
satire on Grover Cleveland was ' keen
and finely drawn. After relating - what
the democratic party was he made this
statement: "Grover Cleveland is its
president; RoswellP. Flower its gover
nor x David B. Hill its boss ; and Waite,
Lewellyn and Pennoyer its afterbirth."
Repeated hursts of applause prevented
the speaker from resuming for a full
minute. He' also likened Grover Cleve
land to a tar key hen which a farmer set
on 72 eggs. The farmer replied, when
asked what he used so many eggs for, "I
know it was too many, but I wanted to
see the old fool spread herself." Grover,
trying to hover England and the
Sandwich Islands, is letting the home
nest get cool.
Mr. Isenberg was called. He reluc
tantly complied, but was .urged on by
tremendona applause, by friends who
knew of his great oratorical ability. He
is a rapid speaker. Words flowr; from
his lips as a resistless flood, held only in
check by - the inflection necessary for
proper emphasis. He wished to say
that as one of the assemblies of Oretron.
