MOSTLY ABOUT POLITICS. Striking Tlie Keynotes of Campaign. The Cominz Cincinnati, May 16. Tho united labor convention met to-day with about 100 delegates. The committeo on resolutions made an informal re port on two peints: the eight hour law for letter carriers and the re demption of government bonds, but the report was tabled to allow Dr. Mc Glynn from the conference com mittee to make bis report. The Doc tor reported that the committee found the union labor committee dis posed to union. He said he thought nnicfti feasible so far at least as the two committees were concerned. There was necessity for still further discus sion. The report of the committee wa3 received and continued, there being no further business that could with propriety be entertained until the final report of the committee on conference was received. The Greenbaokers have abandoned their intention of fusing and will to-day make their proclamation to the people of tho United States show ing their position in American pol itics. OniO DEMOCRATS. Dayton. Ohio, May 1G. Hon. Sam'l Hunt was made chauman of tho Democratic convention and nom inations were made as follews: secre tary of state. Boston G. Yenng: judge supreme court, L. C. Ridefelt: superintendent of public works, James Eramet: all of these were made by acclamation. The platform endorses president Cleveland's administration and de clares his renomination demanded by the best interests of the country, ap proves tho Mills tariff bill; demands that government lnnds be held for actual settlers; favors liberal pensions of soldiers and sailors, demands ec onomical expenditure of public money and reduction of tho surplus by re duced taxation, expresses sympathy for Ireland, favors such restraints on corporate powers a3 will protect honest labor and recommends the re peal of duties upon industries com bined into trusts to erect monopolies. .SHN'ATORIATi SUB-COMMITTEES.

A, Twenty-fourth infantry was shot and killed instantly by private David Simonson at Fort Reno yesterday.

Iu the legis lature Norquay moved for a royal commission to investigate him, but the government refused and had car ried an amendment to have Norqnny Burraris and Lariver examined to gether, the premier declaring they were all equally guilty. FOB OltESHAJI. Crookston, Minn.. May 1G. The fifth district Republican convention elected as delegates to Chicago Halvor Steevesou and Charles L. Lewis. They are both for Gresham. FOR DEPEW. Buffalo, May 1G. The delegate i to the Republican convention are neatly decked out with the bidge of Chauncey Depew and handsome photographs of him are being dis tributed by the armful. The activity for this leading Republican certainly is enough to insure his being a can didate at large. Only one other alternato for an opposition remains. A grave question prevails, however, even among Depew's friends as to whether these demonstrations have a basis of votes which will reach to Chicago or whether they are founded pupon the personal likmg3 of thp del egation.

Dement. Children Cry forPitcher Gastoria AN IMPORTANT CHANGE. The Portland and coast Transporta tion company is"a corporation recent ly organized in Portland to carry on a general carrying business, the main idea being to run steam vessels from Portland and Astoria to Shoalwater bay, Gray's harbor, Tillamook, Ya qnina, the Siuslaw and the Coqnille. Mr.F. R. Strong, representing that organization came down yesterday and made a proposition to the direct ors of the Ilwaco Steam Navigation Co., to buy the Oen. Miles or the Dolphin, and take the route. The price mentioned is understood to bo between S28.000 and 830,000. It is thought that the I. S. N. Co., will ac cept the proposition. For several years this company, has supplied Shoalwater bay and Gray's harbor with steam communication with As toria with as much regularity as was possible under the circumstances, the receipts barely paying expenses. Should the transaction be consum mated, which is extremely probable, it is the intention of the purchasers to cut the Oen. Miles in two, lengthen her thirty feet, build on another deck, with increased accommodations for passengers and run her on the present route, building a new boat and holding the Dolphin in reserve. The projectors of the new organi zation beliovo that by proper manage ment much of the southern Oregon coast trade that now goes to San Francisco, can be directed to its natural entrepot, tho Columbia river. A Warning. The modes of death's approach are various, and statistics show conclu sively that more persons die from dis eases of the Throat and Lungs than any other. It is probablo that every one, without exception, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system and where these germs fall upon suitable soil they start into life and develop, at first slowly and is shown by a slight tickling sensation in the throat and if allowed to con tinue their ravages they extend to the lungs producing Consumption and to the head, causing Catarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if allowed to proceed will in timo cause death. At the onset you must act with prompt ness; allowing a cold to go without yonr attention is dangerous nnd may lose you your life. As soon as you feel that something is wrong with your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, ob tain a bottle of Boschee's German Syrnp. It will give yon immedinte relief. PERSONAL MENTION. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Crocker are expected in this city about June 1st. Wm. L. Uhlenhart has been grnnted a patent for a car coupling of his in vention. E. W.
