Tat DEMOCBATIC STATE CONVENTION.
The state Democratic convention is
hereby called to meet at Dalles City, on
Thursday, the 17th of April next, at 10
o'clock a. m., for the purpose of nominat
ing candidates for the following effices:
Judge of tbe supreme court, three presi
dential electors, representative in the
lower house of congress and district
officers for the Beveral judicial districts,
and to select six delegates to the national
Democratic convention, and generally to
to do such other busines as may of right
come before such convention.
The committee deem it fitting to pre
sent to tho Democratic voters of the state
the following consideratiens:
"We see approaching an election of
moBt vital import to our commonwealth
in all its interests, both public and pri
vate. Deeming honesty the beat policy, and
in striking contrast with tbe course of
the opposition party, we nave named an
early day for the assembling of tho state
convention. Our principles as a party
will then be enunciated, and our candi
dates placed in the field subject to the
approval or consideration of the body
politic.
The variance in the vote of this state
during the past few years, and especially
the very close contest in the presidential
election of 1880, gives us much hope that,
notwithstanding our present minority,
with harmony in our ranks, and a well
directed exertion of our strength, wo
shall carry off the palm of victory. But
to insure this end it ib imperative that all
Democrats should contribute their undi
vided support nnd hoarly co-operation,
not only in the actual canvass but in its
very initiation the county primaries.
We do not presume to tfespass upon tho
precincts of our popular convention, but
do earnestly invoke all members of our
party to put aside past differences and
personal antagonisms, to unite in har
monious action in the various primaries
ana to send full delegations of represen
tative men to attend the state convention.
"We have deemed it fitting to reduce the
number of delegates, in the hope of secur
ing the personal attendance of those to
be chosen. "We especially recommend
the formation of local clubs, where prac
ticable, throughout tbe state.
Believing that the success of the De
mocracy is the welfare of the people, we
cordially invite all persons, regardless of
past political affiliations, who favor sim
plicity, economy and frugality in the ad
ministration of public affairs to unite
with us.

A Medium Materialized.
Philadelphia, March 18. Henry
C. Gordon, one of the best-known ma
terializing mediums of this country,
was captured to-night in the midst of
his manifestations by reporters of the
Philadelphia papers. Gordon has
been carrying on quite a thriving bus
iness of late in the manufacture of
spirits, who he claims are those of
persons present at his seances. He
nas made many dupes who have firm
ly believed that the figures represent
ed by Gordon are those of departed
friends and relatives. One of the re
porters got into his confidence sever
al weeks ago, and has been playing
the detective ever since. A warrant
was sworn out by him before a mag
istrate to-day, charging Gordon and
his assistant, Hugh Kerr, with ob
taining money under false and fraud
ulent representations, with intent to
cheat and defraud, and conspiracy.
In company with two fellow journal
ists, the warrant was served. Gordon
was caught while personating Esther
Hazard, the deceased daughter of
Thomas B. Hazard, who owns a fine
country seat outside of Newport, R. L,
and who is spending the winter in
Philadelphia. Gordon was dressed
in white draperies, and was in his
stocking feet Underneath the out
side drapery he wore a nightgown
over his trousers, and shirt Under
neath his robes and wound around
his legs was a red knit shawl, which
he had previously worn for his father,
and dematerialized before the audi
ence. In the cabinet were found wigs,
beards, silk robes, head-dresses, mos
quito netting which he had used for
lace shawls, ribbons, spirit jewelry,
satin Blippers and other parapher
nalia enough to set up a first-class
spiritualist in the business. Several
in the audience who had previously
recognized departed friends admitted
that they had been duped, and thanked
tho newspaper men for the benefit
rendered the community. Hazard
said that he saw the face of his daugh
ter gradually change into that of Gor
don, and claimed that the spirit had
taken possession of the medium. He
could not explain the' clothing, how
ever, which Gordon said the spirits
brought up from the store below.
The prisoners will be arranged before
a magistrate to-morrow.
There is a droll side to all things
even in the calamities and disasters
that overtake humanity. This has
more than once been illustrated by
the flood sufferers of the east One
instance shows how strong is the
ruling passion of the day that is so
tenderly fostered by the printing
press and communicating facilities of
this wonderful age. Those in charge
of one. of the flood boats reported
that the inhabitants of a submerged
Ohio town asked first for the, news,
next for ropes with which to .and or
their houses, and then for somethirg
to eat

Gentlemen: Like most of my profession, 1
am cautious about pinning my fai h to any
naw medicine or curative ngent. But your
BENSON'S CAPCIN E PORtiUS PLANTER,
has broken through the barriers and won it?
way to my good opinion. My attention was
Grst called to it fomo eight months ago by a
patient of mine Although I was well ac
quainted with the superior excellence of your
other plater and antiseptic dressing, made
epecially for tho profession, tho Bcnons
was comparatively new to mo. I had heard,
however, of its merit as a remedy, in cases
of Lame Back, Local lthoumatism. Neural
gia. Congestion of the Bronchial Tubes and
Lung?. Dyspepsia, Torpid Liver and the liko
affections, and havo sinco begun to experi
ment with it personally. I find BENSON'S
CAPCINE PLAST-R an exceptionally clean
ly plaster to u?o. and rapid in its action.
Many tests of its qunlitios, m'de in my own
fitmUy and among my patients have convinc
ed mo that thoro is no single article so valu
able for popular use, nor so helpful in tho
diseases I have named.
Should you desiro to do so, you may use my
name to that effect.
Very truly yours,
