Yesterday's Ahtobias had the best ac oount of the Chicago convention of any paper north or an h rancisco except the Oregonian. At eleven o'clock yesterday morning The Astoeian had an extra on the street with the doings of the Chicago conven tion up to 1:39 p. m. The Standard has quit taking asso ciated press dispatches. The Astokias hopes to begin as soon as its circulation justifies it. All have to make a beginning sometime. A cloud burst in Wasco county on the 5th inBt. drowned a Mr?. Wilson and three children, washed away several houses and destroyed a great amount of property. The plav "My Awful Dad," at Occi dental Hall to-night, is for thb benefit of the Koscuo Jubileo Troupe. Lot the friends of the fire Departmeut stand in and fill the house. The county precinct returns are all in. Now comes the official count. At nine o'clock this morning R. R. Spedden, P. H. Fox and C. H. Stockton will count and certify to the vote. Seldom has thero beon such interest manifested in news a was yestorday in Astoria. An extra edition of Tnn Asto suk containing a full account of the oonvention to 2 a. m., was all Hold before 8 o'clock, and all the morning tho office was crowded, all anxious to know how things fared with tho favorite of tho Pa cific coaBt Jas. G. Blaine. That item in Thk Astoiuax a few days ago about the iinding of a 40-pound sal mon with a spoon hook in its mouth, ha reached Oregon City. Dave JSIonastes thinks that the spoon belongs to him. lie states that some time since, while fishing at the falls, he hooked a largo .vilnion, and while playing out lino to him somo hitch occurred and the lino was snapped and the fish walked away with the spoon, which was of tho kind known as the Buell spoon. He remaiked to Berger, who was Ashing behind him, "He is off to Astoria; good-bye to my spoon." Ho isould know the spoon if he-saw it again, and tho Ore gonian thinks it would be interesting to know if the fish did go back to salt water on account of being hooked. It is usually supposed that when n salmon passes up he doesn't come down till the season is over and i it appears that those salmon swim up and down stream and hold caucuses at Portland, and primaries at Oregon City and import voters from Sand Island, the finny fellows will have to bo looked after.

THK TWtNTV-THIUD PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Probably no community in the United States tA" a keener interest in the do ings of yesterday's convention than did Astoria. Every one wanted "to know the news," and but one expression was hoard, "I hope it is Blaine." All the morning the dispatches were read with tho most intense interest, and when the bal lot was announced where Blaine had re ceived Hfteen votes additional in New York, loud cheers wore heard. A few minutes afterward came flashing along tho wire "Blaine is nominated." Cheer after chetr was uttered; man ran around' shaking hands and delightedly Gxclaim iug, "Blaine has the nomination." It was immediately decided that a ratifica tion meeting bo held to demonstrate the feeling in this particular part of the Pa cific coast toward the man who has al ways championed the interests of this coast and whom the convent on did itself tho honor of selecting. A committee of arrangements was formed, banners were flung to the breeze, musio. and cannon procured, a torclilight procession ar ranged for, and not since Johnny came marching homo again did all hands feel so gay. Irrespective of politics everyone felt pood to know that Blaine had the nomination. At eight o'clock tho torch light proces sion formed in front of No. 2's. Johnny Fox and Jim Lotan, who camo down on a special boat for the express purpose turned the 32-pounder loose, and the hilla of Clatcop echoed to the sound of Blaine guns. Tho baud struck up and the pro cession moved. Prominent in tho ranks appeared transparencies inscribed "Tho rights of tho American citizen will bo protected;" 4iJ. G. Blaine is our next President;' "Protection to American Industry;" "Clatsop county good for 700 majority;" "No monkeying with South American Affairs" " United we stand, divided wo fall;" "J. G. Blaine, tho anti-Chinese candidate;" "Oregon will give Blaine 5,003 mrjority;" "Every citizen's rights will be protected." The Department turned out in force; Repub licans and Democrats walked side by side carrying a torch, and cheers rent the air. "Fully 4,030 peoplo w3re in the streets and everyone was full of enthusi asm. After parading the principal streets, tho procession halted in front of the Occident. Loud calls for C. W. Fulton brought that gentleman to the front who paid a glowing eulogium to tho national nominees. Ho was followed by F. J. Taylor, C. J. Curtis C. H. Stockton, J. F. Hnlloran, S. Elmore, C. F. McCormac and others, and with throe times three cheers and a tiger for Ultimo and Logan, the ratification closed. A Permanent Fixture. Wo would inform the readers of this paper and ladies of Astoria more par ticularly, that tho branch store of J. Pilger's Leading Suit, Cloak and Dress Goods House of Portland, is an estab lished and permanent business fixture in our city. This statement we havo been requested to make through these columns to contradict tho reports and statements made by other merchants to the effect that their location in Astoria was only for a .short time. These malicious re ports do not speak well for the parties circulating them, and certainly not in a manly spirit of competition.

Dement THE NATIONAL BETDBLICAN PLATFORM. The Republicans of the United States, in national convention assembled, renew their allegiance to the principles upon which they have triumphed in six suc cessive presidential elections, and con gratulate the Amerioan people upon the attainment of so many results in legisla tion and administration by which the Republican party has, after saving the Union, dono so much to render its insti tutions just, equal, and beneficent, the safeguards of liberty and tho embodi ment of the best thought and highest purposes of our citizens. The Repub lican party has gained its strength by a quick and faithful response to tho de mands of .the people for freedom and the equality of all ,men; for a united na tion, assuring the rights of all citizens; for the elevation of labor; for an honest currency; for purity! in legislation, for integrity and accountability in all depart ments of the government; and it accepts anew the duty of leading in tho work of progress and reform. We lament the death of President Gar field, whose sound statesmanship, long conspicuous in congress, gavo promise of a strong and success f nl administration a promise fully realized during the short period of his office as president of the United States. His distinguished suc cesses in war and peace havo endeared him to the hearts of the American people. In the administration of President Ar thur wo recognize the wise, conservative and patriotic policy under which tho country has been blessed with remark able prosperity. We believe bis eminent services are entitled to and will receive the hearty approval of every citizen. THE TIFF QUESTION". It is the first duty of a good govern ment to protect the rights and promote tho interests of its own peoplo. The largest diversity of industry is productive of general prosperity and of the comfort and independence of the people. We recognize the importance of sheep hus bandry in tho United States, the serious depression which it is now experiencing and tho danger threatening its future prosperity, and we therefbro respect the demands of the representatives of this important agricultural interest for a re adjustment of duty upon foreign wool, in order that such industry shall have full and adequate protection. Wo there fore demand that the imposition of du ties on foreign imports shall be made not for revenue only, but that in raising the requisite revenue for the government such duties shall bo so levied as to afford security to our diversified indnstries, and protection to the rights and wages of the laborer, so that active, intelligent labor, as well us capital, may have its just award, and the laboring man his full share in the national prosperity. Against the so-called economical system of the Democratic party, which would degrade our labor to the foreign standard, we en ter our earnest protest. The Democratic party has failed completely to relieve the poople of tho burden of unnecessary taxa tion, by a wise reduction of tho surplus. The Republican party pledges itself to correct the irregularities of the tariff, and to reduce the surplus, not by the vicious and indiscriminate process of horizontal reduction, but by such meth ods as will relieve the tax payor, without injuring the laborer, or tho best produc tive interests of the country. roEEiox poLicr. The Republican party favors a policy which shall keep us from entangling alli ances with foreign nations, and which gives us tho right to expect that foreign nations shall refrain from meddling in American affairs. The policy which seeks peace can trade with all powers, but especially with those of tho western hemisphere. We demand tho restoration of the navy to its old-time strength and effici ency, that it may in any hea protect tho rights of American citizens and tho in terest of American commerce; and we call upon congress to remove the burdens under which Amerioan shipping has been deprcasod, so that it may again bo truly said that wo havo n commerce that leaves no sea unexplored, and a navy which takes no law from superior force. liesolccd, That the appointments by the president to offices in tho territories should be made from the bona fide citi zens and residents of the territories wherein they are to serve. Wo have always recommended the best money known to the civilizod world, and we urge that efforts should be made tp unite all commercial nations in the es tablishment of an international stan dard, which shall fix for all the relativo of gold and silver coinage. The regulation of commerce with for eign nations, and betweon the states, is one of tho most important prerogatives of general government, and the Republi can party distinctly announces its pur poso to support suon legislation ps will fully and onVctually carry out the consti tutional powers of congress over inter state commerce. Tho principal of the public regulation of railroad corporations is a wise and salutary one, for the protection of all classes of peoplo,,, and we favor legisla tion that shall prevent unjust discrimi nation and excessive charges for trans portation, and that shall secure to the people and the railways aliko fair and equal protection of the laws. We favor the establishment of n na tional bureau of labor, and the enforce ment of the eight hour law. Wo favor a wise and judicious system of general reduction, but adequate appro priations from tho national revenue, wherever the same are needed. We believe that everywhere the pro tection to a citizen of American birth must be secured to citizens by American adoption. We favor the settlement of national differences by international arbitration FOREIGN LAEOE. The Republican party, having its birth in a nairea oi siavo labor and a desire that all men may be truly free and equal, is unalterably opposed to placing our working men in competition with any form of servile labor, whether pt home or abroad. In this spirit we denounce the competition of contract labor, wheth er from Europe or Asia, as an offense against the spirit of American institu tions; and we pledge ourselves to sustain the present law restricting Chinese immi gration, and toproTide such further legis lation as is necessary to carrv out its pur poses. Reform of tho civil service, auspioious ly begun under a Republican administra tion, should be completed by a further extension of the reform system already established by law, to all grades of tho service to which it is applicable. The spirit and purpose of reform should be observed in all executive appointments, and all laws at variance with the obioct of existing reform legislation should be abolished, to the end that the dangers to free institutions which lurk in the power of official patronago" may be wisely and effectively avoided. The public lands nro a horitapo of tfc people of the United States, and should be reserved as far a3 possible for small holdings by actual sottlors. We are op posed to tfio acquisition of large tracts of theso lands by corporations or indi viduals, especially whero such holdings are in tho hands of non-resident aliens, and we will endeavor to obtain such leg islation as will tend to correct this evil. We demand of congress the speedy for feiture of all land grants which have lapsed by reason of -non-compliance with acts of incorporation in all cases where there has been no attempt, in good faith, to perform the conditions of such grant. FEKSIOKS. The grateful thanks of the American people are due to the Union soldiers and sailors of the late war. and the Renuhli- can party stands pledged to suitable pen sions for all who were disabled, and for the widows and orphans of those who died in tho war. The Republican party also pledges itself to tho repeal of the limitation contained in the arrears act of 1879, so that all invalid soldiers shall share alike, and their pensions begin with in the da e of disability or discharge, and not with the date of the application. Resolved, That ifc is the duty of oon- Kres3 to enact sucn laws as snail prompt j and effectually suppress the system of polygamy within our territories, and di vorce the political from the ecclesiastical power of the so-called Mormon church; and that tho law so enacted should be rigidly enforced by the civil authorities, if possible, and by tho military, if need Tn BIGHTS OP STATES. The people of tho United States, in their organized capacity, constitute a nation, and not a mere confederacy of states. Tho national government is su preme within the sphere of its national duty, but the states have reserved rights which should be faithfully maintained. Each should be guarded with jealous care, so that the harmony of our system of government may be preserved and the union kept inviolate. The perpetuity of our institutions rests upon the maintaining of a free ballot and honest and correct returns. We de nounce tho fraud and violence practiced by the Democratic party in southern stato3, by which tho will of the voters is defeated, asdangerous to the preserva tion of free institutions, and we solemnly arraign the Democratic party as being the recipient of the fruits of such fraud and viofenco. Wo extend to tho Repub licans of the south, regardless of tbeir former party affiliations, our cordial sym pathy, and pledge to them our most earnest efforts to promote the passage of such legislation as will secure to every citizen, of whatever race and color, tho full and complete recognition, possession and exercise of all civil and political rights. STATE AXD TEBBITOBIAL .WS, '93 degrees in the shade" is reported nt The Dalles. Thos. Beard, aged CO, broke bis neck in Portland last Monday. Tho upper Columbia is rising at the rate of eight inches a day. Willamette nowspapers report that the blackberry crop in the valley is "im mense." Andy Miller, on old settler of Marion county was killed by his runaway team last Wednesday. Whitman college at Walla Walla, re ceived Monday another installment from Rev. C. Eells and the American College and Educational Society. The amount this timo is $1,150. Seal fishers are returning to Victoria. The season has been very prosperous. Seals come close in shore, ana were cap tured with little difficulty. The catch far exceeds anticipations. The strawberry cultuxists at Turner, says the Salem Statesman, appear to be Bolving the labor question after a woman's rights fashion; employing girls and women only to gather berries, and leav ing the boys out in the cold. A man named Murphy, an employe of the railroad, supposed to bo about 45 years of age, was found in Yaqnina bay early Tuesday morning, a short distance above Onotta, dead. An examination in dicated that ho had been in the water about forty hours. The O. R. & N. Co. have a strong force at work all along the line of tho Baker City branch, which, it is thought, will be completed to La Grande by the 1st of July. There is a good force at work grading on Burnt river, which will be spanned by some forty railroad bridges. Moses lake in the Big Bend country is said to have risen over twenty feet dur ing tho last twenty yeers. It covers a much larger area of ground than former ly. The old Palmer road running by it. is now covered with a great many feet or water. It is supposed some subterranean outlet for the water has been closed, and that tho water is yearlv increasing in bulk. The gulch called Dream gulch, at Cosur d'Aleno camp, has yielded to date near ly $17,000, or about seventy-two pounds of gold, according to official statement of weights at the bank. In Buckskin gulch a nugget worth $172 was pioked np, and two pans of dirt yielded $200. In the same gulch a man namod Carey sold a fourth interest in a placer claim for 2,205. The Kittitas Localizer says: the In dians on the Simcoe reservation refuse to grant the ditch company tho right to take water from tho Sotas for irrigating pur poses, on the ground that by so doing their fishing interests might be inter rupted. This will greatly interfere with the reclamation of a large body of land taken below under the desert land act, which tract extends as far down as Kin ney. The couuty commissioners of Skagit county havo no womon on the juries this term of court, says the Mt. Vernon, W. T., News. This is good. Thero are very fow women who would not be much an noyed bv being obliged to servo on the jury. That is the only onerous part con nected with suffrage. Whether the women of the Territory wanted suffrage is still doubted; they certainly did not want jury service, and the more they are relieved from that service the betteriti9 for them. Cattle men of eastern Oregon complain that stock is not getting fat so rapidly this year as usual on account of the grass not going to seed. It seems that once in a while there is an off-year with the grass, when it does not head out, and this is one of those years. The spring was a little late, end there has not been much rain since, which probably accounts for the state of the grass. The seed is the most nutritious part of tho plant, and when it fails the cattle do not fatten so rapidly. At the Empire Store You will find the finest laces and em broideries, of richest quality.
