THE MASS MEETING.
Menefee for Mayor and
Crandall fur Treasurer.
A large number of citizens aesembled
at the court house last evening to place
nomination the people's choice for
mayor and city treasurer. The meeting
was called to order by. Mayor Menefee
and nominations for chairman were de
clared in order. ' Robert Mays, .was the
choice of the convention', w.ho. was eent
for arid soon after appeared. : He stated
the object of -the meeting, and recog
nized a motion by Fred W. Wilson . for
the election of R. H. Lonsdale for secre
tary by acclamation. In like manner J.
L. Story was dominated ' assistant secre
tary by acclamation, on motion of J. H.
Jackson. . .' :. . . ', . . ' '.
The chair then appointed two tellers,
C. E, Bayard and Ben. Wilaon. ........ ;
Nominations fat mayor being declared
in order . Attorney J.'L. ' Story rose to
nominate Mrl S. B. Adams. - In his
nominating speech-, Mr. Story- said ' be
was placing in nomination' a man everybody.-1
knew, who had, engineered .the
finances, of the school district and
brought it out of debt, '.and who would,
if elected, do the same for the city. - . ;.
Attorney W. H. Wilson next.placed in
nomination ' Mr. - Frank Menefee, .'.the
present incumbent, as a man who had
been tried and not found wanting.- "At
a time of this kind," said 'Mr: Wiison,
"it was but proper to take a brief glance
at the record of past events.- CThe leg! a
lature of 1895 passed an amended charter
bill for Dalles city, increasing. jthe nnm
ber of wards, and providing for the elec
tion of .more councilmen, also for ap
pointment by the mayor of the recorder
and marshal, also for -bonding the city
indebtedness, and - thereafter running
the city on a cash basis. Soon after the
city was called upon to mourn the death
of the then mayor, Mr. G. V. Bolton, a
man who was loved and respected by all
who knew him. " It devolved' upon the.
council to choose a mayor and their de
cision t rested upon'.. - Frank ..- Menefee,
(Cheers.) ' This choice " was ratified at
the next, election. -which '. followed, and
Mr. Menefee was elected mayor by the
votes of the people."; .Un to this time the
city expenses had . been very' heavy,
more than the revenue received, and tne
totaj debt of the city bad been: estimated
at 157,000. - Under the provisions of the
chatter this debt was bonded. ' The in
teresbupon it was $3,400 a year or'nearly
$300 a month. .The expenses . for the
fiscal year, ending June .30, 1895, had
averaged $1,000 a month'' Under the
administration. ot Mayor Menefee and 1
the equaHyr,efficieiit.cquciJ.men, this
enormous expense of $12,000 a .year has
been cut down io 6,0Q0, which has been
met. beside the interestiin ; he.bonded
indebtedness. NoWonlj haevery dollar
of piijQBlap'd ioiereat- besri- paid,' but
there ia now in the treasury $4,0QO in
cash, and when next month's licenses,
wbcb'will ti due art paid- the fund on
hand will be Bwelled to $6,500." -
Without' further argument 'the polls
were opened, resulting in " vote of 151
for Menefee to 108 for Adams. The
mayor was called upon for a speech and
responded, promising, if elected,' to es
tablish a sinking fund for the payment
as fast ae possible xf .the city's bonded
debt. -At the 'conclusion of bis speech
he' was honoted with tremendous cheers.
-Nominations for city treasurer being in
order, Mr. S. B. Adams placed in nomina
tion Mr. C. J. Crandall, the. 'present
treasurer, urging as a reason for nis re
election that the salary. attached' to the
office-contributed to the,, support- ot a
worthy woman, the widow of a-former
city treasurer,, much esteemed 't by our
townsmen. .. "
;Mr. Fred W. Wilson arose to place in
nomination Mr. John Hampshire. . The
speech was : an honest;, 4ribu,te to the
Sterling worth and; manly ' qualities of
Mr. .Hampshire, .who bas-j grown ;np
with us from childtiood and-is univers
ally .esteemed.. The. convention was re
minded of another widow who depends
for her. support upon the earnings of
her sonk who - has thus far conducted
that responsibility in a manner that has
won , for him universal: Confidence and
respect.:, ; ,. ; , ; , 'f..':.f,'-;.y
The - ballot; , being, taken,, a , very
close race was developed, Mr. .Crandall
winning by "only 11 votes. ' The result
stood Crandall 140 Hampshire 129.
