Gen. WeaTer1! Lecture.
The. Baldwin opera bouse was filled
last night with citizens of all parties to
hear Gen. J. B. Weaver on political is
sues. He is a very pleasing speaker,
and has a most forcible and convincing
style of oratory. His Populist friends,
who sat well up in front, were especially
delighted, and at times the entire house
cheered the veteran campaigner. Gen.
Weaver has a faculty of pointing an ar
gument with an epigram, a question or
a jest, and following it up with a more
extended process of logic. ' The general
believes that the Republican and Demo
cratic parties are on the verge of disin
tegration, comparing their present
strength with the strength of the Whig
party of forty years ago, which "died in
power from the head downward." An
issue arose for which it was not pre
pared the slavery ' question which
split alike the Whig and Democratic
parties, giving birth to the Republican
party a party composed of free-soilers.
History is now repeating icself, claimed
Mr. Weaver. An issue has arisen which
divides both old parties, and there is no
test of membership. There are free
silver Republicans and Democrats and
there are Bingle gold standard adherents
in both parties. There is hence occa
sion for a new party that will accept the
free silver issue, which will gather
strength from all partieg. Mr. A. L.
Reese introduced the speaker, and closed
the evening with a collection of free
silver. "

Oregonlan.
- The Republican convention of the sec
ond Oregonian district, which met in
Portland yesterday, avoided a direct de
cision of the Mnltnomah county contro
versy by'seating one-half of each of the
rival delegations. ' This result was
brought about largely through the in
fluence of Judge George H. Williams.
The convention met in the morning, and
the organization promptly fell into the
bands of the Carey faction. The tempor
ary chairman, Mr. Fulton, appointed a
committee of seven on credentials, the
majority of which was known to be un
friendly to the regular Republican or
ganization. The convention adjourned,
and the committee, at its session, last
ing several hours, beard addresses by
advocates of the two factions. The re
sult was three reports to the convention.
The first, signed by four committeemen,
favored seating the Carey faction. The
second, signed by two members, favored
the regular organization. The, third,
signed by Judge Taylor, of Astoria, de
clared that both were in the wrong, but
favored seating one-half of each delega
tion. In the debate which followed,
Judge Williams was called upon and
made a full and impartial, review of the
situation, aud his deduction, and de
clared that in his opinion Judge Taylor's
report ought to be adopted. And it was,
by vote 37 to. 2s). The state convention
today will undoubtedly take the eame
action.
The program was carried out, and El
lis was nominated for congress. But t

gratifying surprise followed, when the
convention, in a straight issue on free
silver, in the election of delegates to the
national convention, elected sound'
money men. The vote was very close,
but it was a decided victory nevertheless.
A sound-money delegation throughout
the national convention is now assured

Ellis' name . before the convention.
Brown eulogized Ellis as a man who
had worked his way. from the plow to
one of the greatest positions the state
could give him.
"I have the honor and privilege of
naming Eastern Oregon's greatest states
man, W. R. Ellis," be said. (Cheers.)
His statesmanship, be declared, towered
as did his physical body. "From the
sagebrush plains to the tree-clad hills
of the Cascades?' the voice of the people
would declare itself for Ellis. As a con
gressman, he had advanced just as rap
idly as it was possible for any one to
rise. The speaker urged Ellis' candi
dacy on the ground that it was not wise
to change for a new and untried man,
thus adding one more to two untutored
congressmen. .Ellis was eulogized be
cause of hia honor, integrity and man
hood. ' - Belts of Umatilla followed in second
ing the nomination of Ellis on behalf of
Umatilla county.
District Attorney Hume arose to also
second the nomination of Ellis. Hume
was greeted with loud cheers, especially
when he - stated that "on behalf of
twenty-four members of the Multnomah
county delegation, he seconded the nom
ination of W. R. Ellis.".
Allen of Columbia county also second
ed the nomination of Ellis. .
In nominating Moody, Smith of Wasco
acknowledged the merits of Ellis, who
was his personal friend. He said Moody
was the candidate of Wasco, Gilliam,
Grant and Sherman counties. He par
ticularly laid stress upon the fact that
he represented the material interests of
the state. "A banker," he said, "but
never a Shylock, and so broad and
statesman-like have been his dealings
with us that we come here with a
united voice and ask his nomination.
He is one of the younger men a man of
such personal independence that he has
never accepted any offer of combination
or trade ; and he would rather accept
honorable defeat at your hands than se
cure dishonorable success." ' This 'slap
at the Ellis-Carey trade was well under
stood by the delegates.
