cv 5x She jattj gtftoriatt. ASTORIA, OREGON: TUESDAY-. .JUNE 5. 18S4 THE CHICAGO COXVEXTIOS. To-day "will bo begun at Chicago a contest -which many think will leud to Blaine, and victor' for the Kopub lican party in November. As Oregon had her say regarding state matters vesterdav. we can now look over to the city by the lake. "While our read ers are waiting for the news, it may interest them to read what the last convention which met at Chicago on June 2, 1SS0, did. It was called to order by Don Cameron. George F. Hoar of Massachusetts, temporary chairman, and subsequently, on the 5th, was made permanent chairman. The first ballot was not reached until Tuesday, 8th. Total vote 755; neces sary to a choice 379. First ballot, Grant received 304, Blaine 284, Sher man 93, Edmunds, 34, "Windom 10, and Washburne 20. During the twenty-eight ballots of the day, Grant .steaauy progressed to uua votes on the fifteenth ballot, dropping back and closing at 308 on the twenty eighth. Blaine reached 283 on the fourteenth and closed with 278 on the iweuty-eightb. Sherman had two less on the twenty-eighth than on the first Edmunds three less, and "Windom kept his ten the whole -twenty-eight ballots. "Washburne had five more on the twenty-eighth than on the first Garfield had one on the second ballot, fluctuated between one and two, and wound up with the lat ter number on the twenty-eighth. On the third, fourth and fifth, .Har rison of Indiana had one vote. Hayes received one on the tenth. On the first ballot Blaine had one from Alabama, 12 from California, Connec ticut 3, Delaware 6, Illinois 10, In diana 2R, Iowa 22, Kansas 6, Ken tucky 1, Louisiana 2, Maine 14, Ma ryland 7, Michigan 21, Mississippi 4, Nebraska 6, New Hampshire 10, New Jersey 16, New Xprk 17, Ohio 9, Ore gon 6, Pennsylvania 23, Bhode Island 8, Tennessee 6, Texas 2, Virginia 3, West Virginia 8,"ViBConsin 7, Arizona 2, Dakota 1, Idaho 2, Montana 2, New Mexico 2, Utah 1, Washington 2, Wyoming 1, District of Columbia 1. Adjourned until next day. Twenty ninth ballot was practically the same as the twenty-eighth; thirtieth same: On the thirty-first ballot Blaine lost 2, on thirty-second 6; on thirty-third gained 6; lost 1 on thirty-fourth; on the thirty-fifth Grant went to 312, Blaine fell back to 257, and Garfield went to 50; on the thirty-sixth ballot the 31aine men went to Garfield all but 42, the result being Garfield 399, Grant 306, Blaine, 42, Sherman 3, Washburne 5. The highest vote Grant received on any ballot was on the thirty-fourth, which was 312. The highest vote Blaine received was on the fourteenth, 285. The highest for Sherman was on the thirteenth, 120. Highest for Edmunds on the twelfth and thirteenth, 33. Chester A. Arthur of New York was nominat ed for vice president J on first ballot by 4C8 votes, 123 Washburne, 44 Jewell, 30 Maynard, the rest scat tering. Wexdelii Philmps excused, if he did not justify, the Russian nihi lists because they are too closely watched to permit a regularly organ ized revolution. When war for hu man rights cannot be made wholesnle the question arises, how far men are justified in making it on single per sons. Here comes in the question of courage and cowardice. All nihilists freely devote their lives and all their property to the work of national re generation as truly as our fathers "pledged their lives, fortunes and sa cred honor" to maintain American independence. Our fathers could and did organize a revolutionary war. It seems impossible for patriotic Rus sians to do this. Does their courage and contempt of death redeem them from the charge of murder in slaying their foe3? Daniel O'Connell said: "No revolution is worth one drop of human blood." He had learned wis dom from experience. Every Irish revolution had failed, but he had , faith to believe that Englishmen could be persuaded to d6 justice to Irishmen, therefore he devoted his life to agitation. He tried hard to convince his countrymen that a dis cussion with arguments was better than one with sticks. If he should appear to-day in Ireland and England what would Lo say to the dynam iters? Montana rejoices in the posse3sion of tho biggest county in the United States, "whioh, of course means the world. It is only 36,000 square miles in extent, and is larger than the states of New Hampshire, Yermont Massa chusetts, Connecticut, Delaware and Bhode Island combined. How many states shall re havo in the Union a century hence, when our population will in all probability be two hundred millions? They may number around hundred. What a paradise the coun try will be for the politicians. Think of it. One hundred governors, one hundred legislatures, and millions of other nice, easy places all the way down the political ladder.' It muBt be a sad thought for our politicians that these good times are so far away. - The Anti-Monopolists will hold a maes .meeting and ratify the nomina tion of General Butler. Let the fun begin, BRACE UP. What is more soul-stirring than to see a man, who, beaten upon every side, crowded into a corner, is fight ing heroically to recover lost ground? Him who when his legs fail him, fights upon his knees. Him who ex emplifies the old Norse maxim: "Either I will find a way or make one." It has been well said that "success consists not in nevertfailing, but in rising evory time we fall." Push on. Friends may desert, the clouds of doubt and discouragement, of sorow and despair, may hover round about, but there is no night ' without itr morn, no lane without a turn. The world wants mtn, it is bound to recognize birq who knows not how to yield. Gain strength from the words of that Spartan mother, uttered when her Bon complained that his sword was'too short, "Add a step to it," the brave woman. replied. Never envy those who have not, figuratively speaking, been obHged to take in their sails to weather a squalL If you have been crippled, hasten to repair the damacre and fall into line acrain. You are the better for Jhe-r experience. Don't be troubled if some people think you are not as strong as before. Bide your time and measure swords with them. A-WE3TEBS statesmen who has been giving his views on tho presidential question s&ys: '""What we want is a broad gauge man, who oan command the respeot of the whole country." Mr. Blaine, he thinks, is just the man. But the trouble is that in the opinion of a great many people he is "too broad." Is there no way of cutting him down a little so that the more timid of his countrymen would not be scared out of their wits in the event of his nomination? Mr. Blaine iB a wonderful man in many ways. "Who ever before suoceeded in managing a presidential canvass and writing a splendid history at one and the same time? Probably he can change tho gauge so as to suit all parties. Manitoba has been given the cold est kind of a cold shoulder by the Dominion government. The railroads sho clambored for will not be built, and no relief whatever granted to her. The proper thing for Manitoba to do is to come into the Union. Large numbers of her inhabitants are leaving for Montana. and Dakota. This is u wise step, but it would be better for them to run up the Stars and Stripes over their farms and de clare for annexation. By this means she can get all the railroads she needs. There is a splendid surplus in tho treasury at "Washington, to a portion of which she will be entitled in the event of her joining the family. A good many newspaper men seize the present opportunity to throw mud at Gen. Grant If it be a crime for an old man to be swindled by a rascally partner, then Gen. Grant deserves severest oensure, but can" any one of the barking crew point to a single dishonest aot on the part of th broken old man who never went back on a friend, and whose trustful ness hag occasioned his financial ruin? Thebe are 35,000 more women than men in Philadelphia and yet that place is called "The City of Brotherly Love." It would be more in accord ance with the eternal fitness of things to designate it M The Town of Sisterly Affection." It is thought that the charge that Stanley Mathews' appointment to the Supreme court was through an agree ment with Garfield, conditional upon his election, will be investigated in the senate before the July convention is held. Again Senator Edmunds protests that he does not want to be Presi dent. It is more than likely that the wiBhes of the frigid statesman from the Gren Mountain state will be re fpecttcL That juror in Pennsylvania, who could not tell where he lived has just about struck the limit of ignorance that has heretofore been considered necessary to make a jury of peers to try an accused person. Fsbdixaxd Wakd is beginning to find out that the way of the trans gressor is hard; but it is not half as hard as the lot of those innocents who confided in him. Youxa Eko should change his name to Keno, because nobody seems to know anything about him. BORX. On the "Walluski, June 1st, to the wife of J. O. Slake, a son.
