THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Their Harmonious and United
Deliberations.
.vo.v.v.-irjLVf; st.iti: offickiis.
About 4.000 words of description of
the republican convention's proceed
ings would have been in yesterday's
AnTimoas had the line kept up, but
as usual, when any special news is
being reported, the connecting link
gave way. But that couldn't be
helpe 1.
The convention was the largest in
point of numbers ever assembled in
the s&te, it was harmonious through
out, and indulged in no by play,
transacting all its business swiftly and
steadily.
Some little time was consumed in
getting under headway, but when the
delegates reassembled at 3:30 in the
afternoon and listened lo the plat
form, the unanimous expression was
"nokv let us make the nominations."
nrst came that of congressman.
Hermann's name, when uttered by
Stearns, of Douglas county, was
greeted by rounds of applause, and
wheu the present representative of
Oregon was renominated by accla
mation the hall rang with cheers.
Then the convention buzzed like a
gigantic hive, for the nomination for
governor had come. Some of the del
egates were puzzled by receiving little
squares of paper on which was printed
; For Coventor, :
I ltlUHAKD WILLIAMS
Of Multnomah. :
Thousands of these were circulated
through the hall and on the stairs,
but they were only 'flyers," and
amounted to nothing.
Geo. H. Williams, once attorney
general of the United States, and who
came within one vote of beiug elected
chief justice of the United States su
preme court, was the man delegated to
nominate D. P. Thompson for the
governorship.
He lose and started his speech, but
couldn't make himself heard above
the roars of "Platform! Platform!"
The venerable jurist, after a few mo
ment's delay, appeared by Chairman
Tongue's chair and made a neat
speech, placing personal feeling sub
servient to party zeal, aud eulogizing
the man ho nominated in a way that
kept the delegates npplaudiug at the
close of everj' few sentences. When
Judge Williams sat down, the build
ing was filled with a tumult or cheers.
Then Mr. Ellis, of Morrow, rose; a
gentleman of gigantic frame and who
expects to some day represent eastern
Oregon in congress. In a speech that
disappointed many who were expect
ing "something fine," he nominated
ex-governor Moody, in a plain, stolid
way, and sat down. The nomination
was received with a lesser degree of
favor than that awarded to his com
petitor. The tellew then gathered the ballots
by counties, the chairman urging them
to speed, and in a few minutes 213 bal
lots were piled on the secretary's desk.
When the 110th vote Tor Thompson
was announced there was a big bnrst
of enthusiasm, The vole stood,
Thompson, 152; Moody, ffl: scattering,
7. Then M A. Moody, a sou of ex
Gov. Moody moved that the nomina
tion be made unanimous. Then there
was a love feast, and all hands raised
the roof in a figurative sense for two
or three minutes.
"Speech, speech"' was then shouted
aud I). P. came from the back of the
hall and stood on the platform.
He made a speech characteristic of
the man.
He thanked the convention for the
nomination and said: "I am not in the
habit of undertaking anything and
failing. I propose to be elected, and
don't yoti forget it I began a good
many years ago as a blacksmith at
Oregon City. After a while I worked
at surveying: then I went into the
banking business, aud the people in
terested in tho'affairs intrusted to me
have always been satisfied with the
way I managed their interests. I
think the application of the same prin
ciples that make a man successful in
private business is a good thing in
public life. I propose to be the gov
ernor of this state. There will be no
power behind the throne. With
out being cranky I shall use
my own judgment, but will re
ceive and listen to advice ftom any
source. During the next few weeks I
shall visit several portions of the state
aud expect to see many of yon again."
As Mr. Thompson sat down, ex-governor
Moody advanced with out
stretched hand and smiling face, and
tendered his successful compeiilor his
hearty congratulations.
The ex-governor does not consider
his chances for political success at all
marred by the events of Wednesday.
He will be heard from again, but for
a different and more valuable, though
no more honorable office U. S. sena
tor. SOME rr!tTKElt NOMINATIONS.
E. A. Moore, of Columbia county.
in a brief but brilliant eulogv of Geo.
W. McBride, nominated that gentle
man for four years' further service as
secretary of state. He, also, was nom
inated by acclamation, and Chairman
Tongue, who was evidently in no mood
to delay, announced that nominations
for state treasurership was in order.
Then eastern Oregon rose in its might
and came blushingly forward with a
myriad of candidates. Portland had
the governor, northwestern Oregon
the secretary of state, southern Oregon
the congressman, and what was the
matter with eastern Oregon having a
slice of the pie?
So argued the delegates from the
more arid portions of the common
wealth, and geographical considera
tions were urged as much as personal
fitness in support of their claims.
Baker county came first with the
name of J. P. Faull, then Umatilla
put J. C. Leasuro in nomination. To
those conversant with existing circum
stances Leasnre's nomination was
looked upon as a joke in questionable
taste, but the man -who struggled with
the English language in nominating
luni meant welL Then was placed in
nomination W. J. Snodgrass of Union
Co. J. W. Cusick, of Linn Co., was
placed in nomination and was fortunate
m the man who nominated him, and
who made a fine speech in putting
his man before the convention. Then
Phil Metchau, C. M. Cartwright W.
T. Wright, and E. H. Mix, also of
eastern Oregon, were successively
placed in nomination, and J. G. Gray,
who was the only candidate outside
of the eastern section of the state.
Few of the nominators helped their
man bj anything they said, and it was
evident that in Oregon as elsewhere,
the day of oratory is past
On the first ballot Metchan led all
his competitors with 62 votes, on the
second, he had 91, and on the third,
they had all dropped out but three,
the ballot standing, Metchan 141,
Faull, 26, Cusick, 37.
Amid loud calls for Metchau, that
gentleman arose from his seat among
the other delegates from his county,
and blithely stated his intention of
"getting there."
The hall was dusty and noisy, and
it being then 5 o'clock, several
motions were made to adjourn, but
were lost "Let's go ahead and finish
up," was the cry of the majority, and
they outshouted and outvoted the tired
minority.
There was a lively time over the
nomination forfsiinrmi indjre. W. "R.
i Willis was the first nominee, with the
i usual laudatory speech, then J. J.
iBalleray, .T. S. McCain, and J. F.
Watson.
H H, Hendricks of Gilliam, with a
1 voice like a Stentor and a manner that
, carried conviction, pnt in nomination
( Hon. It S. Bean, of Lane. "Hooray
for Bob Bean," roared fifty voices.
nenuncKs went on eulogizing Bean, a
native Oregonian, a clever judge, an
honest man, etc., and when he sat
down it looked ils if firprvlmdv tlipro
wanted nothing but a chance to vote
for Bean.
H. C. Humphrey, of Eugene, got the
floor long enough to say that at Judge
Bean's special request he, the speaker,
was authorized to withdraw that gen
tleman's name. "No! No!" roared the
delegates, and amid the din E. L.
Eastham, of Oregon City, jumped up
ami saiu ean nau to be nominated;
that he (Bean) had told him that it
nominated by any degree of unanimity
that he would accept
Humphreys said Bean wouldn't ac
cept; that he was now judge in the
second judicial district, and if he ac
cepted the nomination for the supreme
judgeship he would have to resign his
present position and that Governor
Pennoyer would appoint a Democratic
judge in his place.
But even that dire threat had no
terrors for the convention; Eastham,
who had his auditors with him, de
clared that Bean "was the very man;
he was so good that tho second judi
cial district didn't want to lose him,
but that the interests of the common
wealth were paramount to those of
any section or district of tho state;
that Bean was a man of and for the
whole people, and that the whole peo
ple, or that majority represented by
the Bepublican party, wotdd have just
such a man as Bean on tho supreme
bench of this state. They wanted tho
best, and in him they had it
Humphrey kept on insisting that
Bean couldn't and wouldn't nnd
shouldn't run, and so did several oth
ers, but their voices were drowned in
cries of "Ballot! Ballot! We'll soon
settle this thing!"
And the ballot did, for in a few
momenta after the tellers had collected
the tickets the secretary announced
the following vete: Bean, 137; Wat
sou, 18; Balleray, 26; Blackburn, 10;
Willis, 8; McCain, 17; Whalley, 1. To
humor the joke, Humphreys, who had
opposed the candidacy as an impos3i-
um imng, nioveu mat tne nomination
le made unanimous, which was quickly
done.
After two more ineffectual attempts
to secure an adiournmenh E. B. Mc-
Elroy was,uuanimously nominated for

tion, anil .frank U. JJaker Tor state

THE KVEXINQ SESSION.
Promptly at eight o'clock chairman
Tongue brought down his gavel. The
seats were full; every delegate was
present and readv to co en: various
district nominations were announced,
among oiuers mat or Hon. Thos. A.
McBride, the present able incumbent,
for prosecutinff attornev of tlir fifHi
judicial district Each county dele
gat ion had, m the interim, selected the
delegate to represent the county
in the state central committeee,
and as the roll of counties
was called, the following names
were announced as constituting
the. state central cemmittee:
Baker, J. P. EaulL Benton, J. H.
Nicholas; Clackamas, E. L. Eastham;
Clatsop, J. Tuttle; Columbia, M.Pom

ington; Union, J. Iv. Itomig; Wallowa.
F.D.McCuily; Wasco, M A. Moodv;
Washington, T. H. Tengue: Yamhill,
Peter D. Gates.
m The convention ratified the nomina
tions and a motion to adjourn was
made. But it was only 8:15, and now
that the work wa3 done the delegates
wanted a few exercises of a different
nature. It isn't every dav that 230
Republicans get together from all
parts of the state. Loud calls for L.
T. Barrin bronght the retiring chair
man of the state central committee to
the platform, who spoke in a congrat
ulatory tone of the ticket and said he
was glad his services in the past cam
paign met with so flattering an expres
sion of opinion and was positive his
successor -would exercise equal zeal
with commensurate result
Mr. Ellis, of Morrqw, made the
next speech: he said whife many
like himself, had had their fnvnrlfoa
beaten in the convention, yethebe-
nevea mat an, tike himself, would
work hard for tho success of the ticket
next June.
Jas. Lotan was called for; he made
a few remarks; he said he was accus
tomed tO talking to n fcronnxrhnf
smaller audience, that he had done a
good deal of that sort of thing lately
and felt that there was considerable
work to do between now and election
aav.
C. W. Fulton was called for again
and again. Way being made through
the surging mass in the aisles he
stepped on the platform and made a
a five minutes srwwh thnf rrrmiin'f
have been so long if the applause
hadn't compelled him to Btop bo often
io gee a cnance to do heard. He said
that whatever of dissenmrm r fi;n.
pute that might have existed before
mo cuuveuuou unouiu now melt like
tho mists of the morning in "the sun
rise of victory; that the
ticket and the platform were
worthy of united support and assured
success, and that as in '83, the state
that is last in the nation to receive the
sunshine of the sky, -would be the first
to sound the signal gun of victory and
uphold her banner in the dawn of the
Bepnlican day of triumph in the cam
paign of 1890.
A Republican convention without a
speech from Capt Humphrey would
be like an ecc without salt nnd Whon
that eccentric individual, in the course
of his speech, remarked that the wis
dom of a convention was superior
to the intelligence of an individual,
there wasn't a dry eye in the house;
everybody caught oa and roared in
acquiescent mirth.
There was another good speech by
S. Condon, of Lane, and after the us
ual votes of thanks, a .modn to ad
journ prevailed, and the'stste'Bepnbi
lican convention of 1890 had passed
into history.
AFTER THE CONVENTION.
"Immediately after the convention,
about 30 of those who had been
selected as the state central committee,
came qn the platform and organized.
Jos. Lotan was elected chairman: a
proposition to appoint an executive
committee of five didn't meet with
any favor, one member saying he
didn't believe in having a committee
within a committee. It was finally
decided that the chairman should ap
point the secretary.
"What do you think of the ticket?"
was the question asked at all the hotels
and public places after the adjourn
ment of the convention. The unani
mous verdict was that it is a good one;
this was not from the makers of the
ticket, but from friends and foes alike.
Objection was made in a few instances
that it might have been better to have
nominated somebody else than "a Port
land man," for governor, but that ob
jection, if it had any just cause for
existence, is obviated by the equal
distribution of the nominations in all
sections of the state, and the acknowl
edged efficiency of the gubernatorial
nominee. Besides the Democratic
nominee will be "a Portland man" also,
so that upon this point honors are
easy.
3IILITAKV BALL.
