"Grover, Grover," was the watohword
of the Oregon democraoy Tuesday. His
name, whenever mentioned, provoked
long and con tinned ohaering.
Hendersuott, of Union, offered the fol
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That this convention uiorI
heartily approves and indorses the ad
ministration of Governor Sylvester Pen
noyer ; that he has mudo uu able execu
tive, and bis administration of the affairs
of the state has been characterized bv
that spirit of economy which should
characterize the adminisiration of 'every
true democrat, and tbis convention would
suggest and urge upon the delegates to
the national oonvenlion, to be held at
Cbioiigo, tbe propriety of insisting npon
giving his name a plaoe on the national
democratic ticket.
The part after the words, "every true
democrat," were finally stricken out, as
one delegate expressed it, "this is i,
Grover Cleveland convention."
Hailey, of Umatilla, offered the follow
ing:
The demoornoy of Oregon hereby ex
press their confidence in the courage,
honesty and statesmanship of Grover
Cleveland and recognize him as a man
pre-eminently qualified to fill the office
of president ot the United Htntes, and
unless some contingency not now appar
ent shall arise snllicieut to justify a dif
lereut oourse, we hereby iustrnct our
delegates to tbe national convention to
nse all honorable means to secure his
nomination to that ollioe.
All after tbe words "president of the
United States," was afterwards elimi
nated, as the delegation, wbilo favor
able to Cleveland, wish to go umn-
strncted. ,

THE I'LATKORM.
The democratic party of the state ot
Oregon, in convention assembled, renew
their pledges to the principles upon
which the democratic party is founded;
remembering that they represent a party
not created by political expediency or
dependent for existence upon temporary
success, but coeval witb Ihe constitution,
and adhering throughout its history lo
the principles of that instrument
First We reuflirm the doctrine of tbe
democratic national platforms of 18H4
and 1WH, indorsed by the popular vote
in those years and so overwhelmingly effectively to opening the Columbia Riv
ratified by the popular verdict in the er. We condemn tbe polioy of the rspub
oongressioual elections of 1890, and poiut lican party in urging upon congress the
witb pride to tbe administration of feasibility of tbe boat-railway at Tbe
Grover Cleveland, as exemplifying the Dalles and denounce tho measure as
embodiment of those principles in prac- subterfuge whereby tbe people of the In
tical government affairs and condemn laud Empire must remain in bondage for
the wanton extravagance of the billion- years; and we oondemn tbe policy of the
dollar congress, whereby the surplus of republican party whereby the improve
the people's money has been squandered, ment of tbe Cascades has been delayed
Second We arraign the party iu : unnecessarily by plans and expedients
power for its utter disregard of all the ; which give no assuranoe thut the ob
pledges made to tbe people, whoreby its structions to navigation in the Columbia
ascendency was secured at tbe last ua- j will be released from the grasp of a griud
tioual eleotion; and especially do we ' ing monopoly which now holds the poo
condemn the McKinley bill as tbe blight- ' pie of Eastern Oregon in fetters.
ing iniquity of tbe age.
TARIFF RXFOBU DEMANDED.
Third We deolare our unfaltering ad
herence to tbe causa of tariff reform,
holding that tbe policy of favoritism pur
sued by the republican party in general
legislation is subversive ot the principles
of justice, equality and true demooraoy,
and deny tbe right of tbe government to
levy a protective tariff exoept os inci
dental to tbe raising ot revenue to defray
tbe expenses of the government econom
ically administered, or for any consider
ation save those of public welfare ; we
demand suoh a revision of the tariff laws
us will entirely eliminate from tbeir'oper
ations personal, class or speolal interest
with a view to seeming tba greatest pos
sible revenue witb tbe leaBt possible
burden to the people.
Fourth We believe iu honest money,
the gold and silver ooiuage of the con
stitution, and In a ourreuoy convertible
into suoh ooiuage without loss, uiul of
sufficient volume to meet all the de
mands ot tbe people; we demand that all
money ooined or isBtied by tbe United
States should be ot equal monetary
value, aud of equal purchasing power for
tbe rioh and tbe poor, aud that all paper
urreuoy issued by the government
should be redeemable iu either gold or
silver coin at the option of the bolder,
and not at tbe discretion ot the secretary
of the treasury.
PENSION LEGISLATION.
Fifth The gratitude ot a generous
people and a wise national poliay alike
demand tbat tbe government should pro
vide with liberal band for the wants of
those who suffered by wounds aud dis
ease in tbe late war, and likewise of suoh
dependent persons as were deprived of
their natural protectors and supporters
But it should be remembered that we
have already been liberal beyond preoe-
leut in tbe oivilized world, and we insist
tbat iu legislation and administration
touching pension affairs, regard be had
to houorable pust service and present
meritorious necessity. We are opposed
to all measures which draw no distinc
tion bet ween tue veteran iu the field and
tbe camp-followers in the rear as involv
ing a cruel wrong to the soldier and
wanton waste to thd people's money.
Bixlh We favor the adoption of an
amendment to the federal constitution
providing for the election ot senators by
A direct vote of tbe people.
Seventh Being profoundly impressed
with the conviction that tbe chief pillars
jf our republican form of government
are an enlightened yeomanry aud a free
aud honest exercise of the eleotive frnu-
hiae, we pledge tbe democratic party of
the Btate of Oregon to the cordial sup
port and advancement of our common
school system; to the paHnage of effective
laws for the prevention of tbe corrupt HBe
of money in elections, and tlieenaotment
if Bueli meusiires as will secure to ovory
voter the right to caBt a ballot in accord
ance with tbe diotntes of his own con
science. Jiigbtb We are in favor of tbe regula
tion of railroads and other transportation
agencies by law as common carriers.
Ninth Wo approve ot deolariisg eight
hours a legal day's labor upon nil pub
lio works, uud e also favor luws giving
the luborer iu nil fields of labor a first
iicn ou the product of his labor.
Tenth We recognize tbe enlightened
policy of favoring and doing justice to
tbe laboring classes, wo therefore favor
tbe enactment of jiint and reasonable
homestead exemption law, and a just
aud equitable system of assessment uud
taxation.
SI'BVEV I'l'BLin LANDS,
Eleventh We demand the immediate
survey of the public domain within this
state and tbe adjustment of all laud
grants and condemn the republican par
ty fur delaying the opening for settle
ment the forfeited lands of all railroads
in this state claimed without authority
of law, to the end that titles may be set
tled and said land ooenpied by aotuol
settlors. We further demand the imme
diate aud specific forfeiture of the
grants of all londa unearned by railroads
aud wngon roads in this state.
Twelfth We urge tbe passage of suoh
appropriations aud the adoption ot suoh
measures as will tend most speedily and
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report.
iBot Powder
ABSOLUTELY PURE
Thirteenth We point with pride to the
record of the democratio party upon the
subject ot Chinese immigration, and wo
demand from congress such legislation
aa will prevent Chinese entering the ter
ritory of tbe United States, and we favor
tbe bill now before oougress known as
tbe Geary Chinese exolosion bill, and
denounce the action of the Oregon sena
tor in attempting to defeat tbe same.
V. H. Vaughan, of Clackamas, who
was elected an alternate to tbe Chicago
convention, declined in favor of John
Barrett, of Portland, who was unani
mously chosen to fill the vacancy.
