ST. LOUIS AND SAW FRANCISCO.
; As it becomes every day moie certain
that the Republican National Conven
tion will nominate the next president of
the United States, the list of citicB who
wish to be chosen for the place of hold
ing the convention is increasing. St.
Louis is the latest aspirant for the honor
and offers eome cogent reasons why the
big meeting should be held in that city.
It is urged that Missouri has no candi
date for the presidency, and the conven
tion would be thns freed from any local
infioence,8uch as contribute t to the suc
cess of Lincoln in I860 at Chicago, and to
the Cincinnati nomination of Hayes in
1876. While the feeling of the state
where the convention is held has proba
bly little to do with nominating the man
whom the convention considers politi
cally the strongest yet, the argument is
one frequently used, and in a dearth of
other reason may have some merit.
Since no citizen of Missouri is seeking
the nomination, the distinguished gen
tlemen, in whose hata the bee is buzzing,
would enter on a clear track. Another
argument which the people of St. Louis
put forth is that holding the republican
convention in a southern state, even if
only so far south as Missouri,would do a
great work in stimulating ttie southern
republicans who have recently shown a
laudable determination to break away
from democratic domination and obtain
republican success at the polls, as
evinced by the elections last year iu
Missouri and West Virginia and this
year in Maryland and Kentucky. The
third advantage claimed by St. Louis is
its physical superiority ; its situation as
a railroad center with abundant tele
graphic facilities and ample hotel accom
modations. Since 18S8 when the demo
cratic convention met in St. Louis, it is
claimed that that city has made great
advances in the facility with which it
can handle large crowds. -
The entering of St. Louis into the con
test of cities, if pressed vigorously, will
undoubtedly interfere with the claims of
San Francisco.and yet it should not. As
long as the republican committee con
tinued to choose Chicago as the place of
meeting there was heard little, if any,
complaint throughout the country.
Through being selected as the meeting
place for successive conventions the
"windy city" had come to be looked upon
as having the first right to be considered
and bear the name of the "convention
city;" but since the national committee
eaw fit to break away from tradition and
three years ago chose Minneapolis, other
cities have now the precedent for put
ting forth their claims. Among all the
contestants San Francisco is the most
worthy of recognition. The far East,
the middle West and the South have all
been honored by having the republican
convention meet in their borders, and
now it is the time for the West to be
recognized. San Francisco can offer all
St. Louis can, and more. California
has no candidate, and while Western re
publicans need no incentive to moie
enthusiastic loyalty to the party princi
ples, yet the fact that one of the Pacific"
states was chosen would cause great eat
faction to the workers in the ranks.
San Francisco is large enough to easily
handle the immense crowds attendant
upon the convention, while -it has a
climate unequaled and a hospitality, un
paralleled among American cities. .
The Golden Gate city has made great
promises, but it can fullfil them all.
Never was the time for holding the con
vention west of the Rockies so propi
tious an now. The West is recognized in
literature, finances and commerce; whv
not in Dolities?
be proud of her newspapers. No state in
the Union can boast of as good ones, I
taking into consideration the limited
held, owing to the comparatively unde
veloped condition of the country and the
sparce population.
The Oregonian is the ablest news
paper on this coast. It does not print so
great a volume of matter as the leading
San Francisco, New York or Chicago
dailies, because it does not draw patron
age from such vast and rich populations.
But it serves its readers with as complete
a resume of the general news of the
world as they do. in as presentable
shape, and it is edited with ability far
superior to the average of the great dail
ies of the country. New York has only
one newspaper that compares with it in
profoundness of editorial discussion, the
Sun ; Chicago has only one, the Trib
une; and San Francisco has none.
What are called in journalistic par
lance the "country newspapers," too, of
Oregon are much above the average.
Very few towns in the Eastern states of
the size of Pendleton, Baker City, The
Dalles, Albany, Eugene and RoEeburg
maintain daily papers. Yet all these
keep up creditable publications issued
every day, some of them showing com
mehdaole enterprise. The Pendleton
East Oregonian editorials are always
able and instructive. - So are those of
The Dalles Chronicle, the Astorian at
Astoria, the Albany Democrat and Her
ald, and nearly all the balance of the
ambitious dailies issued from Oregon's
growing little cities.
in the service-of modesty, , we will
pass over Salem in this discussion, only
mentioning the fact that there are many
cities as large as this in various sections
of the conntry that are satisfied with
newspapers only of hebdomadal issue.
Any newspaper worthy of tne name
uses every resource at its hands in the
betterment of its service to the public
We Relieve this is especially true of the
leading journals of ( )regon. Their di vi
dents are mostly "glory." The growing
condition of their fields will make this a
necessary condition for along time. We
are willing for Oregon to be judged by
her newspapers. If all other enterprises
will -keep pace with their progress, we
will be swift in the race for greatness as
a people.

EDITORIAL COMMENT ON ORE
GON'S NEWSPAPERS.
L. A. Clarke, who lives at Sprague, a
short distance above Cascades and is in
terested in several scows upon the Col
umbia is having trouble with the Messrs.
Day, at Cascade Locks, over a contract
unfilled by Clarke, for which failure the
Days are suing for damages. Saturday
the answer of Clarke was filed in the
United Ssates. A. S. Bennett, Esq., of
this city appears for Clarke. An affi
davit was also filed which shows the
facts as Clarke claims them to be.
The barge City of Sprague, which be
longed to Clarke and In man, was leased
by J. G. & I. N. Day, contractors, for
building to completion the locks at the
Cascades, for the period of ten months.
Day Bros, entered into an agreement
with Clarke & Inman to pay 1 hem the
sum of $175 for the use of the barge for
that time. It was agreed that Clarke
should furnish a captain to navigate the
barge, or was to act himself in that capa
city. Ho assumed-the management of
the craft himself. The men who worked
on the barge were employed by Day
Bros. On the 17th of last October, dur
ing the absence of Clsrke from the bare,
and without his consent, the men at
tempted to move thf Jcraft, and in doing
eo rnn her against a rj(k, which stove a
hole in the side and bottom, causing tl e
barue to partly sink. At the time tLe
barge was lying near the shore loading
with reck. By the terms of the agree
ment between Claike and Day Bros., the
latter were to stand any loss or damage
which might result to the barge during
the ten months' time. After the barge
sunk, it is alleged that Day Bros, and
Chirke worked for about two weeks en
deavoring to raize the' craft, but that
Day Bros, had abandoned fnrther efforts
to get the submerged burse afloat. Soon
after, suit was commenced by Day Bros.
:ig!tinst Clarke, alleging a breach of con
tract, and asking for 5,000 damnzes.
This case is now pending in the United
States court. Clarke claims in his affi
davit that, by reason of the sinking of
the barge and the failure of Day Bros,
to keep their agreement and ralee the
craft, lie was unable to comply with hia
part of the contract; that the alleged
breach was through no f jult of his. '
The criBj was set for trial on November
IS I). R. Murphy, U. S. attorney, ap
pears for Mr. Inman, who as a partner
wiih CInrke, was equally sued by J. G.
ai:d I. X. Day.
Ilighe-t market price paid for all
kinds of poultry, eggs, dry hides and
furs. Will pay cash for same. Apply
