Thk Daises, April lC.--lf there be a democrat, prominent or obscure, known or unknown, M'ho wants to run for congress on the democratic ticket this year, let Mm send in Iris name at once say before 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. No one so far mentioned for the position will consent to make a martyr o himself, and the nomina tion is going a-begging. Ex-Senutor JKesmith, answering au inquiry from AL Zieber, chairman of the state cen tral committee, declines the use of his name before the convention for aiiy fiosition, and a delegate showed me a etter fiom CoL Nesmith, asking him to withdraw his name should it be presented. Eastern Oregon does not taut io propose a man from that section for the reason that they want Slater for senator again, in case the democrats carry the legislature next June. Henco it is not likely that either Judge McArthur of aseo, or Lt. 15. Ison of Baker, will be presented. "W. D. Fenton saya that one raoois , enough for him, and he has no desire to head a forlorn hope a second time. ! Since 3 o'clock thin afternoon, there , has been considerable quiet talk ' among the delegates, but no confer-, ence, formal or informal. The Uraa tilla house was naturally cho?on as headquarters, and the day being fine, i tb1 porch and tho stroct made an ex- ; oellent lobby. SOME SL-ATKS. About tho only available timber among the delegates for the cougrc-j sional nomination are AV. F. Owen of Douglas and Henry Klippel of Jackson. Each lefuse, but it is be lieved Owens can be induced to ac cept Eastern Oregon delegates say that if southern Oregon names a man he can have their votes, and conse quently tho nomination. The fact is no one wants it, and whoever is named may say truthfully that the honor was thrust upon him. For supreme judee tho only name I have heard is Judge E. S. S trahan of Albany. For presidential electors the south ern and the eastern counties have fixed up the following slate: Owens of Douglas, Ison of Baker, and Fon lon of Yamhill, provided the first named is not nominated for congress. Eugene Semple of St. Helens will be ' urged by the Multnomah delegation. Every Multnomah delegate is here, but Portland cuts no figure in the fight, and seems to be ignored. Prob ably the only recognition she will receive is one delegate to the national convention. Every eastern county is represent ed, Umatilla and Baker by delega tions, and the remaining counties by proxies. The delegations from Jack son, Josephine, Coos and Curry, and a part of that from Marion are not yet here but will arrive to morrow. JUDICIAL OFFICES. In the first district J. 1. Nell of Jacksonville and Charles Coggswell of Lake View are candidates for dis trict judge. Cogswell is certain of the nomination. T. B. Kent has no opposition for district attorney. In the second district J. W. Hamilton of Koseburg is booked for the district attorneyship, and will no doubt make it In the third district George W. Belt of Independence and P. H. D'Arcy of Salem are mentioned for proseouting attorney. Multnomah, as yet, can find no one willing to run for judge or attorney in tho fourth district, and it is likely these nomina tions will be referred to the county committee. In the fifth district, Judge A. S. Bennett is the only per son mentioned for judge. Mr. La tourette of Oregon City is named for attorney. I am informed that the ; sixth district 'have fixed on G. W. , Walker of Pendleton for judge, and ! M. D. Clifford of Grant for prosecut ing attorney. THE PLATFORM. Judging from the tenor of private discussion, it is likely that the plat form will include a plank relative to the mortgage tax law. It is the senti ment of the delegates that mortgages should be taxed, but on a more equit able basis than under the present law. Still, if Linn county, which fathered the aot of 1882, were to present a plank demanding that the law be re pealed, such a plank would be incor porated in the platform, for the rea son that no one in the convention has anything better or more equitable to offer. Little has been said upon the tariff question. The Ohio idea and "tariff for revenue only" have about an equal number of supporters in the convention. AN APPEAL TO NESMITH. Late in the afternoon there was some talk of holding a cauous to night but none will be held. At 7 o'clock this evening a telegram was sent to Colonel Nesmith, urging him to accept the nomination. The feeling to-night is that if the conven tion was asked to name, from a per sonal choice, the best party represen tative and the most available candi date, Colonel Nesmith would receive the vote of every delegate, except one from Multnomah. THE MULTNOMAH DELEGATION. The Multnomah delegation had a caucus to-night with the following re sult: Chairman of the delegation, Fred N. Holman; member of state central committee, E. J. Jeffery ; dele gate to the national convention, V. K. Strode; member of the committee on resolutions, S. Pennoyer. Another caucus will be held to-morrow morn ing to select a district attorney. AN TNFOBMAL MEETING. &r informal meetincr of the county delegates was held late this evening and adjourned at midnight It was resolved to submit to the convention to-morrow a resolution declaring the protective tariff unconstitutional, and demanding gradual and persistent re duction of the existing protective duties. Also a resolution demanding the legislature at the next session to pas3 a law regulating freights and fares on all transportation lines in the state. There promises to be a warm discugsion on the tariff plant, and prominent members of the valley counties declare that it will pass de- J i.pite all opposition. Oreyonian Special. MorrNon Tariff Bill. , Washington, April 16. The tariff! bill was taken up in tho house jester-1 day by a vote of 140 to 138, the victory of the revenue reformers being se-J cured oy the votes of five Republican representatives James, of New York; , Anderson, of Kansas; Seldon, Strait and Wakefield, of Minnesota. Thirty-1 nine Democrats voted against consid eration of the bill. Thirty-eight .rep resentatives were paired, and. seven members were absent or not voting. The vote does not indicate by any means the passage of the bill, as over twenty Democrats voted for consider ation "of the bill who will oppose its passage. The defeat of the 1'andall forces is due to the fact that six mem bers of tho Ohio delegation relied on to oppose consideration, voted for it None of these men, however, will vote for the bill. Eleven of the twelve Pennsylvania Democratic votes were d-t against consideration, Connolly having bsen called away by death in his family. All of New Jersey's Dem ocratic votes were cast against tho bill; eight of the twenty-one Demo- cratio votes from New York, and four of the six Democratic votes from California were cast with the opposi tion. Randall's friends say it is a siguiii cant fact that the main opposition to consideration comes from New Jerey, New York and California, states which muit be CiUricd by tho demo cratic party next fall if they win the presidential election. There are those who see in the vote the influ ence of Tildea in the counsels of the party. No serious opposition will be made in the future to consideration of the bilL The protectionist demo crats see that it would be of no use to offer further opposition to discus sion, and being confident of its ulti mate defeat, they are willing the de bate should run on. They desiie, however, that the vote on the final passage of tho bill shall be reached at- as early a day as possible. Morrison told Mr. Randail this afternoon that he wanted a week for general debate. After that, discus sion uuder the five minute rule will be in order. At that time a motion will be made either to strike out tho enacting clause or iudeGnitely post pone it. Tne most serious feature of yester day's action is that as the revenue and appropriation bills have prece dence, under tho rules, of all other legislation, tho time consumed in tariff discussion renders less proba ble tho chances for favorable action this session on the inter-state com merce, the land-grant forfeiture, the postal telegraph and the Chinese re striction bills. Henly, Budd, Glasscock and Tully voted "no," Rosecrans voted "aye;" Cassiday of Nevada voted "aye," and George of Oregon "no." Sumner was absent, on account of sickness, but had he been present, would, it is stated, have voted "no." As will be seen, the presence of Sumner and the change in the attitude of Rose crans would have defeated considera tion of the tariff bill, as it was taken up by a vote of 140 to 133. Rosecrans says his reason for voting as he did, as he intends to vote against it on the final passage, was that ho could see , no reason why he should not grant the request made so courteously by Morrison and the other tariff reform ers to permit the bill to be debated. Tillamook Mall Service. At a meeting of the Astoria cham ber of commerce held in this oily on ' the 16th inst, the following preambles were adepted: j "Whereas. The county of Tilla mook, Oregon, is so situated and Bur rounded by mountains and having; but one wagon road from the Willam ette valley, and that impassible on ac count of deep snow during several months of the year, and Whereas, From the best informa tion we can obtain, that county con taining 2,750 square miles, has now a population of over 2,000 inhabitants, and would rapidly increase provided they could depend upon regular and safe water communication, and Whereas, The establishment of an Oregon mail route in accordance with petitions to the Hon. John A. Gresham, Postmaster-general of the United States, numerously signed by the citizens of Clatsop and Tillamook counties, asking for said ocean mail service, would, no doubt, result in regular and reliable steam communi cation between Astoria and Tillamook, Oregon. Therefore, be it Resolved, By this chamber that we heartily endorse the petition to) the postmaster-general, asking him to establish an ocean mail route between Astoria, Clatsop county, Oregon, and Tillamook, Tillamook county, Ore gon. Resolved, That Senators J. N. Dolph and Slater and Representative M. C. George are requested to use their earnest endeavors to accomplish the object of the former resolution. Resolved, That the secretary is hereby instructed to send a copy of this preamble and resolution to the postmaster-general, Senators Dolph and Slater and Congressman George, under the seal of this chamber, and to receive and forward all petitions for the establishment of the Astoria and Tillamook ocean mail route, and a? soon as practicable toforward them to their proper destinations.
