The board of directors of the Astoria and South Coast railway company, had a meeting last evening at which was read a letter received yesterday morning from C. P. Huntington, presi dent of the Southern Pacific company, written from the hotel del Monte, Monterey. CaU in which he expressed great and evident satisfaction at the promptitude with which the subsidy of $200,000 had been subscribed, jis be tokening Astoria's lively interest in the ma tterot transcontinental railroad connection. Pursuant to his request the contract of transfer was made up to be sent him forthwith. The tenor of his letter indicated that obstacles suggested as possible to arise will be provided against by him, and that no complica tions or previous propositions of any nature will be suffered to stand in the way. It is probable that a committee from the board will shortly go to San Francisco to have a further and final conference with Mr. Huntington. Special Koticc.

Webb, and John Gibson, of Albina, came down last evening on the '. ''. Rial, and were met at the 'd.c:c by C. .7. Treuchard, Sheriff j Smith, Dr. Estes, Alex Campbell and other, who escorted the guests to the hotel. Utzinger's fine band paraded the principal streets, discoursing excellent music, starting at 7:30 r. m. and arriv ing at the opera house about eight o'clock, which was soon well filled, there being quite a number of ladies, and numerous Kepublicans. In the boxes were P. W. Weeks and wife, Mrs. Estes, Mrs. P. Grant, Post master Bell and wife, Mrs. L Bergman, Mrs. IL Chrislensou, Mrs. G. W. Webb, George Nolaud and wife, lev. S. M. Campbeli and wife, Mrs. N. Bergman, Mrs. J. E. liiggins, George llibbertandU. W. .Dunbar. On the platform were the governor, slate tre:isurer, John Gibson, C. J. Trenchard, John H. Smith, Dr. O. B. Estes, J. E. Higgius, Isaac Bergman, John Kopp, John Caswell and Col. Frank Chenault The members of the band occupied orchestral chairs, and opened the ex ercises at 8:15 r. M., by playjug "America,'' in fine style. John IL Smith advanced lo the front of the stage and introduced the man who holds the money of the stale and who is a candidate for re election, Hon. George W. Webb, stale treasurer. Mr. Webb in this, his first visit lo Ahtoria, was glad so warm a reception has been tendered to the governor ot whom he claimed lo be the body guard. Have no speech to make, the governor will do that Never heard of a stale treasurer who was faithful to his duly, who was anything of a speech-maker. Glad to see so many ladies in the audience, it shows they are interested in the campaign, and hope they will lend their efforts in helping Astoria on the second day of June, roll up a big majority for Gover nor Pennoyer. He said, "I desire lo call your at tention to a few facts in connection with the present administration and its conduct of "the financial affairs. When I went in ollice, the stale was $100,001) in debt I soon ascertained that the United States owed us $12, 000; this was collected and with the proceeds from the sale of swamp lands the entire debt has been wiped out, until now we do not owe a dollar. 'The common school fund has leen well managed under a Democratic board. In January, 18S7, we had in the school fund $780, 000 in notes and mortga ges which I received from my prede cessor. January 1st of this year, we. held $1,000,000 in notes and mortgages, all of which are gilt edged securities, and our school fund is in fine shape. From the interest on these in July, 18S7, 1 paid one dollar on each child entitled to school money, and this year on 87,000 children they will each draw 1.53, showing a maiked in cre:isc You will soon be called upon to choose between Philip Metschan and vour humble servant He is a good man but I am not here to talk j for him, but for myself, and as I have faithfully performed the duties, I again ask vour votes, for which I will be thankfiil." The band then rendered " Hail Co lumbia" in stirringstrains, appreciated bv all. "At 8:30 i m. County Clerk C. J. Trenchard stepped forward and said 4,I have been honored with the duty of presenting to you one who is well known to many. He has been gover nor of this state for some time, and we propose to mako him governor for some time more. You will now listen to Governor Pennoyer.' The governor said l'L am glad to see so many present, especially so mauv ladies, and desire to return my thanks for the very handsome major ity you rolled up for me four years ago." In visiting Astoria now, I am invigorated by the glorious breezes wafted in from the ocean, and by the cordial greeting you have given me." He then gave a sketch of his admin istration during the three and a half years he has ocenpied the guberna torial chair, claiming that the expenses have been much less than before. Considerable time was given to a review of the portage railroad and the boat railway, to overcome the obstruc tions in the Columbia river between The Dalles and Celilo, claiming that the former could be constructed in a year, and by voting the Demo cratic ticket that plan would be en dorsed, but if you vote the Republican ticket you favor the boat railway, which will cost far more, and take thirty-five years to complete. The locks and canals at the Wil lamette Falls, Oregon City, were next discussed, and statement made that the company has never paid a cent into the school fund as ten per cent of their profits as provided by law when they were constructed. They revert to" the state in 1892, and the state should take them, or compel the company to reduce the rates of toll. D. P.'Thompson, Mr. Eastham and Mr. Morey are all owners of stock in the lock company and are all candidates for office on the Republcan ticket, so that he claimed they should not be elected, especially at tins time when the question of disposing of the locks will come up for action. D. P. Thompson's official record as receiver ot the Holladay estate and as mayor of Portland was severely criticised, especially while holding the latter office he had virtually encroached upon the river line and taken in a strip 40 x 200 feet, worth S100,000, without any payment therefor, and which the sneaker designated as Thompson's "real estate bay window." The lauor question was urouguc up, and an effort made to show that his position thereon had been right, while his competitor's record in that direc tion was the reverse. He also charged his opponent with securing the nomination by illegal and dishonest means in the expenditure of money, and that the same method of buying the election was also being resorted to by Mr. Thompson. The inevitable tariff question "bobbed up serenely" and the governor illustrated tariff for revenue and for protection, bringing in the stories of James Otis in 17G1, and the flag of "Free trade and sailors' rights," as floatincr at the masthead of Paul Jones' ship in 1812. The question of taxes petitor, the story of the battle otTrz. algar was given, where Lord Nelson ; displayed the banner, "England expects every man to do his duty." The governor said. "Now at this time in this matter of the equalization j of taxes, Oregon expects every man , ofvou to do his duty. Yon are to! decide the question at the polls, and I trust to God your decision will be a just one. I thank you," and the ad dress was ended, ho having spoken one hour and ten minutes. The band played the glorious old piece "Bed, White and Blue," after which C. J. Trenchard called for "three cheers for Governor Pennoyer, and the Democratic ticket," and after they were given, the audience dispersed. THE CITY FATHERS. A Proposal to Fund the Dent aM Issue Bonis.

An Olyiupia Complaint. 'Some of the largest property holders in Olympia," said a prominent real estate man tills morning, "are the very ones who discourage investments by outsiders. Just us soon as they hear of an intending purchaser, they stick on two or three thousand dollars more than the price asked, without regard to its real value. It was only iesterday that I had a piece of nronertv for sale, the real value ot which was 20,000. My man was willing to give $25,000, but as soon as I notified the owner, he calmly stuck on another S5,000. My man left the city, and I heard this morning that he'had put his S25.000 into Aberdeen property. Such men as these would retard the growth of any city." Tribune, 10.
