a I Wv gaitt Sstwto. ASTOBIA. OREGON: WEDNESDAY JUNE" 20. 18S8. Pbesidest OiiEVEland will lie offi cially notified of his nomination by the St. Louis convention next Tues day. Op the 820 delegates to the Repub lican national convention of 1881, there are but 93 in the convention of 820 delegates in '88. The rest are "new men." Jay Gould announces that he will spend one million dollars to beat Gresham if he is nominated. That's why they love him for the enemies that he has made. JnDQETAYLOB,yesterday, very prop erly refused the application of two men to become citizens, on the ground that they were unfit.by reason of their ignorance of American institutions. In general the privilege of American citizenship is too lightly bestowed" It is made so easy to be an American naturalized citizen, that any one de sirous of the honor should at least make effort to prove himself partially worthy of the dignity. If Judge Tay lor's action were more widely observ ed it would have a beneficial effect, in this directiou. And still Blaine's name is used to conjure with at Chicago. The pres ent situation is a dramatic one. Blaine has always been a man of dra matic act and consequence. "What more dramatic climax to a career packed with thrilling incident than the refusal or an honor that men struggle and delve, and scheme, and agonize, and barter, and slave for, and which might have como without the putting out of his hand; and while the fourth of the great conven tions where his name and personality are preeminent is being held he will be gloriously driving over the Scot tish heath on the top of a tally-ho, content, healthy, happy and at peace. The Washington Journal (Ger man) speaking of the proposed mar riage of emperor Frederick's daughter and Alexander Battenberg, says: Aside "from political complications, the proposed marriage also leads to interesting complications in the fam ily relations. Beatrice, youngest daughter of queen Victoria, is married to Alexander's brother, Henry Batten berg. The German emperor's daugh ter is a nieco of this couple, for her mother, the empress, is a sister of Beatrice. Alexander is therefore, already, by" marriage, uncle of his prospective bride, brother-in-law of Beatrice, her aunt, and as liusband jot the latter's niece, would becomo his own nephew.

Jones in his speech emphatically favors protection, and says the candidate of the convention and its platform should bo the em bodiment of this spirit. 12:10 p. ii. The hall is almost full. The entrance of Gen. Jno. C. Fre mont was greeted with cheers. (Gen. Fremont was the first candidate of thcKopublican party in 185G.) 1230 p. m. Chairman Jones intro duced temporary chairman Thurston of Nebraska, who was greeted with applause. A Kansas delegate announces that the iiansas delegation is not respon sible lor tho election o Thurston and proposes Warren of Missouri; (Hisses.) Thurston began his speech and al most immediately made a statement that Blame was denied its privilege 01 supporting him in this convention. This was greeted with cries of "No! Nof' and applause from the galleries. Thurston's speech is punctuated with applause. His reference to the leaders of 'Si was greeted with wild cheere. He then mentioned the can didates in turn and spoke of the Re publican party as a party of protec tion. Wild applause greeted his men tion of the Chinese question. He said the foreign policy of the present administration was such as to please every coward. He then said wo dare not commit the political disobedience to Blaine's will, and referred to the Democratic straddle of the tariff question and civil service reform amid laughter and applause. The speaker said that the great issue of the coming campaign is the tariff. A great army will rise to trample out forever the pernicious doctrine of free trade. Thurston closed his speech amid great demonstrations of applause and Howe of Michigan, presented to the chairman a gavel made of wood of the oak treo under which tho Repub lican party organized, in Jackson, Michigan. On motion of Hallowell, of Kansas, a resolution of sympathy with Gen. Phil Sheridan was adopted. The re quest of a deputation of tho Grand army of the Republic for two thous and tickets, evoked discussion of the soldier question by Taft of South Carolina, Butler and Worth of Ohio arid Lewis ot Kansas: By unanimous consent the question was referred to the national committee. The call of states was dispensed with, the names being sent to the chairman. Nebraska is now presenting Gen. Fremont to the convention amid much enthusiasm. Fremont in a speech predicts vic tory under the banner of protection of American industries. Fred Donglass has been called' on and addresses the convention, briefly, expressing thanks for the welcome. Hoar, of Massachusetts, is tho next speaker. Of the Virginia dispute ho says Mahone and his colleagues un der the rulings of parliamentary law cannot vote on their own case. Wise ot Virginia makes a strong protest against Mahone being put on the committee on credentials to pass on his own credentials. Many delegates are leaving the con vention which will probably adjourn in a fow minutes. Tho committee will meet after adjournment of the convention. It has been decided that the contesting delegations are to send their credentials to tho com mittee without debate. The chair man decides the debate oat of order. Mahone. of Virginia, then took the platform to make a plea for his dele gation, when Stephenson of Minne sota, moved that no committeeman be allowed from any stato or terri tory sending contested delegations. 330 p. m.

Major Jones will spend his leave of absenco in devoting the time exclusively to the management of reduction works. PROBABLY. FATAL. Last night John McDonald met with what may prove to be a fatal accident at a lodging house, corner of Fifth and Washington streets. While attempting to throw n basin of water upon some boys underneath with whom he was skylarking, he lost his balance and fell into tho court. He struck on a fence and sustained very serious internal injuries. STATE VS. M'aiNN. In tho police court to-day Henry McGinn withdrew his plea of not guilty and substituted a plea of guilty to assault and battery upon ltev. Ezra Haskell. Judgo Dement imposed a fine of ten dollars upon tho defendant. In making his sen tence the conrt took occasion to re mark that as neither complainant nor accused was in the habit of engaging in street quarrels and were both gen tlemen and that while the assault was unjustified there had been considera ble aggravation before tho affair took place which would naturally tend to create excitement in the defendant, the court felt justified in imposing tho smallest fine allowed by law. CHARGED WITH E1IBEZZELMENT. G.W.Emory, a young man who has been employed as book keeper for tho firm of Dayton & Wall, has been ar rested charged with embezzelment. The books of the firm have been par tially exported and it is alleged that so far Emery's shortage foots up four thousand dollars. In tho police conrt to-day Emery waived examina tion and that he be placed under four thousand dollars bonds to answer bo fore the grand jury.
