m i gtoUg Utoratu ASTORIA, OREGON: FRIDAY. JUNE G. 18S4 TEE CHICAGO CONVENTION1. Chicago, Juno 5. 9 a. m. Special. The Times says tho belief is stronger than ever that neither Blaine nor Arthur can be nominated. It .says that the Blaine men have offered Xogan the vice presidency if "he would combine offices, but the offer was re fused. It further says that Arthur is practically out of the fight. Un less the failure of the independent movement brings Edmunds or Haw ley's" vote to him, tho Logan men .Jclaim Arthur's southern vote after the ilr3t ballot, while the Edmunds men expect his vote in full if trans ferred. Sherman also claims strong help from Arthur's forces. : The Inter-Ocean says Arthur's -ranks stand firmly. The Tribune says seven of the Virginian delegation will vote for Blaine, and that a conference of Ar thur and Edmunds men last night to secure enough to go ahead of Blaine failed. The delay in the proceedings is un favorable to both Blaime and Arthur 10:05 a. sr. The committee on ere. dentials report that they have reasbed a" unanimous conclusion and that there will be no minority vote. 11 a m. The report of the commit tee .on. order of business has been adopted after long discussion. 12:15 p. 31.

The motion was finally with drawn. 1:55 p. yu The convention has ad journed to 2:30 r. ir. 230 r. m. Convt ntion reassembled. Call of states proceeded with and com pleted. The committee on platform reported and the platform was road. It denounoes importation of foreign labor either from China or Asia; it recommends such revision of the tariff as will be for tho best in terests of the nation, and endorses Arthur's administration. The plat form was enthusiastically received and adopted. Adjourned to 650. 650 r. jl The convention has been called to order; there are fully 10,000 people present and the wildest enthusiasm prevails. XOMIKATXOKS. The convention has reached nom inations.

Blaine will be nominated by Hon. Wm. H West At 8:43, Judge West took the floor with the name of JAS. O. BLAINE. He paid an eloquent tribute to Blaine, which was frequently inter rupted with cheers; his reference to President Arthur also brought out cheers, which were repeated. He spoke of Blaine, his statesman ship, his "great 'gifts and the great use he had made of them. He flaid Blaine was not of one state but belonged to all from Maine to Oregon. The audience roso to its feet amid the most tremendous cheering. He said Blame could be elected with or without New York. "When he finish ed a storm of applause shook the building, died away, rose again, re doubled and continued for several minutes. The banners were plucked down from the walls of the hall amid deafening cheers for Blaine. 9 a il The cheering still goes on; ladies are as enthusiastic, and if all i . .- - , . vuo iucu who are m cnairs waving handkerchiefs are delegates, Blaine is oureiy nominated. Davis, of Minnesota finally got the floor and seconded Blaine's nomina tion. He said that this is the third time that this great nation asks for its choice. Twice the re quest has been denied; that Blaine was the man for the place. The nomi nation was also seconded by Goodloe of Kentucky in a stirring speeoh. Thomas C. Piatt of New York was the next speaker. He also seconded Blaine's nomination, and was received with applause. He asked the Blaine delegation to stand firm. Victory now and November was theirs. He "was followed by'Galusha A. Grow, who also spoke for Blaine. iu jf. m. jxew ors name is called and the assemblage has burst into cheers in which all participate. 9:55 r. si.

There is no sign of its abating. 10:15 Gen. Henderson, the chair man, is trying to bring the conven tion to order, amidst cheers and hisses. 1020 The gallery has struck up "John .Brown's body lies a-moulder- g in tEe grave." 1025 Martin L Townsend haB the floor and is nominating Chester A Arthur. Ho made quite & speech; he eulogized the president, ad that part of his remarks where he referred to Senators Conkling and Tlatt of New York, resigning their positions in tho senate of the United States on the 16th of May, 1831, was receiv ed with a storm of hisses from every part of the halL Lynch (colored) of Mississippi seconded Arthur's nom ination.

When in the course of his remarks he referred to Blaine the audience ose to their feet and began cheering and waving banners. 1148 p. m. The cheering has gone on since Blaine's name was mentioned. The tumult is increasing. Tha air is full of hats and the cheers are burst ing out with renewed favor. The chairman is vainly trying to produce order. 1150 p. sl The band has struck up but can't be heard for the oheer ing. Men have seized the flags and ban ners and are marching up and down the aisles. Everyone seems to have turned loose; the California and Ore gon delegations are as lively as any of 'em. Henderson is struggling to produce order. Midkioht. Order has finally been restored. Foraker of Ohio, now re minds the convention of the good old maxim, "Don't holler till you are out of tho woods." Ho is through talk ing. Judge Holt of Kentuoky seconded Sherman in a well received speech. When Vermont was reaohed there was considerable qheering and Gov. Long of Massachusetts took tho stage to nominate SEKATOB BDHU5D3. 12:15 a v., June 6. Long's speech is being listened to with great atten tion. He is frequently interrupted by applause. George William Curtis has followed Long and is now second ing Edmunds' nomination.

The motion to adjourn is lost For, 381; against, -412. 2 a sl Great confusion. Motions for proceeding with a ballot and to adjourn being made, it was claimed that the vote on adjournment showed Blaine's strength to be 371 against the field. 2:10 a m. The call of states for adjournment to 11 a. sl demanded New proceedings. 2:12 a. sl Both sides have agreed to adjourn to 11 a. sl Convention adjourns ta 11 a sl to-day. It begins to look now as though neither Blaine nor Arthur would get the nomination, and that the tactics of 1876 and 1880 would be repeated. In '76 it was "anything to beat Blaine ;" in 1880, Grant was the ob ject of attack. From the tenor of the latest dispatches Sherman stock seems to be above par, though a good many million people are still hopeful that Blaine, the choice of the Bepub- lican states, shall be the choice of the convention. All the Democratio state conTen tions for the choice Jof the delegates to the national convention, in Chica go, July 8t, have now been called. Seven of these Btate conventions will be held as late as tho week endiniir June 28th. - The government has paid olT sxnoe the close of the war neariy 8650,000,000 in pensions to the soldiers of the Union, andis now dig. triouting among them over $80,90, 000 a year. 'O v&' Gex. Babcook, the famous privawj seoretary of President Grant in the old days of the whisky 'ring, was drowned at St Johns. Florida, last Tuesday. - t-j Woman suffrage in Oregon has been beaten badly this time. By the time it comes up for review it will fare better at the hands of the voters. t . .- " It is estimated that a pounc of wool costs about $3.50 before it comes into the hands of the consumers as clothing. A DANGEROUS POWER. Whexkveb a national bank gets into trouble the creditors complain of the unusually large powers lodged in the comptroller of the currenoy. All the winding up of a bank which fails belongs to him. He appoints the receiver and fixes his compensation and all assets are deposited in the treasury, subject to his order. He approves all expense accounts and has in every respect al most absolute authority. None of the accounts are audited and even the stockholders only know that divi dends ore declared from certan sources, while details are concealed from them. .Now even the reports of receivers are to be treated as confi dentiaL The necessity for a change in this system and the adoption of a series of checks and balances is apparent The power is too great to bo en trusted to one man. The number of banks has become so large and their position so important that a designing comptroller might use his authority to coerce the favor of individuals or banks, much to the injury of private enterprises and the pubjio interest If congress shall ever conclude to transact any business of real value to the business community it will recognize the -national banking sys tem as a fixture fer many years to come and repair the flaws apparent in the laws Under which its opera tions must be conducted. Fistdikq that Mr. Gladstone was not quite ready to shoot the Mahdi and his hundred thousand followers, or declare the whole of Central Africa under martial law, the Pall Mall Oa sette is now advocating tho organiza tion of an African trading company, which besides its right of barter shall have the power of ruling the Soudan. It is to have a royal charter, of course, and General Gordon is to be the first governor of this new stolen nation. Whether, the present inhabi tants are to be bought or slain the Pall Mall does not yet advise. Mean while, if the Mahdi gets hold of Gor don, the mrst great act of trading will have to bo over the General's head, and that may cost England so much that she will be glad to let somebody else form the new company Thb American hog is not wanted in Manitoba. It won't make much difference to tho hog, but what the people of Manitoba are to do for pork to grease their griddles with is the puzzling conundrum. NEW TO-DAY. SPECIAL AUCTION SALE!
