At 10 o'clock yesterday Chairman C
II. Carey called the Republican conven
tion for the eecoud congressional district
to order. E. L. Smith of Wasco nomi
nated T. C. Taylor of Umatilla for tem
porary chairman, put the motion and
declared it carried. Carey refused to
recognize Taylor, and V. M. RaEtnus of
Multnomah nominated Otis Patterson of
Heppner, whose election was declared
by Carey, amidst great confusion. A
division was called for and refused by
Carey.
Both chairmen then took the plat
form. Chairman Taylor recognized the
nomination of C. E. Cochran for secre
tary, and Pattereon recognized the nomi
nation of F. W. Eppinger. Each was
declared elected. Concurrent motions
for committees of five each on creden
tials and on organization and order of
business were entertained by both chair
men and declared carried.
Preliminary to the opening of the con
vention two petitions were handed to
Chairman Carey, one signed by 48 of the
SOJdelegates outside of Multnomah coun
ty, asking him te name Taylor as tempo
rary chairman, and the other signed by
The refusal of Carey to grant the firsu
petition was the reason why Smitl
nominated Taylor and put the motion
himself.
The Patterson convention remained in
session while conferences were being!
held between the leaders of the two
sides.
Two propositions were submitted. The
Taylor party proposed that Multnomah
retire and let the 80 outside delegates
eettle the matter of temporary organiza
tion, so that business cculd proceed in
the regular way.
The Patterson party proposed that the
wlule matter be referred to the state
convention tomorrow, meanwhile candi

At2jl0p. m. tho Taylor convention
was called to order. The committee on
organization lecommended that the tem
porary organisation be made permanent,
and to proceed to nominate a candidate
for congress.
It waB feared that Baker, Gilliam and
Clatsop would remain out, but they re
turned to the organized convention and
participated in its actions.

Woodburn as chairman, and O. E. Coch
rane of Union county as secretary.
Chairman Tooze then appointed the
committee on order of business and cre
dentials, and adjournment was taken
till 1 p. m. The committee on platform,
consisting of one delegate from each
county, was eelccted during tho noon
hour. Just before adjournment tho fol
lowing resolution was offered by Judge
Pipes of Multnomah :
"Resolved, that the following mes
sage be at once wired to President Mc
Kinley: 'The Republicans of Oregon in
convention assembled, to the president
of the United States, greeting: With
the utmost confidence in the wisdom of
your administration, and pledging you
the support of the state of Oregon, we
express our earnest conviction that tne
Maine was destroyed by the design or
criminal negligence of Spanish office re,
and that this outrage is just cause for
the United States to drive the Spanish
nation from the Western Hemisphere.' "
The resolution was adapted amid deaf
ening applause, after which the dele
gates arose and gave three cheers for
McKinley.
A telegram received at 1:45 p. m.
stated that tho committee on credentials
was still out and that they would not

TRIAL BY JURY.
A Crowded House at the Services I-nst
Evening at the M. E. Church.
A packed house at the meeting at the
Methodist church last night. As an
nounced, tho service was a trial by jury,
the followiLg persons composing the
jury : Messrs. tiaruwicic, roes, v ueai-
don, Bolton, Sylvester, Lane, Campbell,
Parrott, Michell, Murphy, Parent, Kir-
by. Any judge would think tine a fair
ly intelligent jurv. After they were
seated, Mr. Miller sang "Our Father's
Care," founded on Matt. x:29, and
"Where Are the Nine?" He then ar
raigned the culprit, Jesus of Nazareth,
instructing the jury that from the testi
mony of tne witnesses that would ap
pear they must render their verdict as
to the foundation for His claim that He
is the Son of God.
The first witness was prophecy. Mo
ses and Isaiah responded, and by many
strong assertions declared him to be the
person ho represented. Counsel said he
would call others, but their testimony
was taken collectively. Acts x :43.
Second witness Angels. They tore-
told His birth; they announced It; they
ministered to him; they were at the
tomb on the morning of the resurrec
tion; they attended him to Olivet when
he ascended.
Third Friends. John the Baptist,
Peter and John.
Fourth God. "This is my beloved
Son, In Whom I am well pleased.
Fifth Nature. The winds and the
sea obey him.
Earth Tho earthquake ; the gaping
tombs.
Sun "Now from the sixth hour there
wos darkness over all the land unto tho
ninth hour."
Testimony of enemies
Judas "I have betrayed Innocent
blood." Officers sent by high priests
to arrest Him "Never man spako like
this man." Pilate "I am innocent of
tho blood of this Just person." Satan
"Thou art the Christ, tho Son of the
living God." Death He is my con
qnror. Last, the Holy Ghost, sent as
promisod to the disciples, filing them
with courage so that they boldly
preached Jesus, the Son of God.
The unanimous veidictof the jury
was then given to the audience Thus
Jesus has fully proven his claim to be
tho Son of God, tho Saviour ot men
The audience also united in tho eame
verdict.
