Nominated by the Prohibitionists His Views on Money and Tariff. Baltimore. July 28. Joshua Lever ing, of thla city, was this evening offi cially notified of his nomination for the presidency of the United States by the Prohibition party. In accept ing the nomination, Levering said In part:, "The platform adopted by the con vention meets my hearty approval, and though baaed on a single Isnue, Is In reality sufficiently broad to al low all to stand on It vtho are opposed to the saloon and Its consequent evils regardless of their views on any of the public questions of the day. I do not under-esttmate the fact that there are other questions of grave Im portance over which the public mind la so seriously agitated and which are being prepared for speedy settlement. There Is the question of a stable and at the same time elastic currency, equal to the demands of business and for every section of the country, and yet every dollar of which should be of equal value and the whole based on a standard equal to the best Interest In the world," The United States can not afford, without dishonor, to have money bearing Its stamp Inferior to that of any other country on the globe. "Again, the proper adjustment ot the tariff, so that labor can have Its Just protection without at the same time giving undue protection to man ufacturing Interests ot the expense of the great consuming portion of our people, is of profound consideration." Prior to the notification meeting Lev ering In an Interview snld: 'I do not see any necessity for sound money Democrats who do not wish to vote for McKlnley to nominate a third ticket. Let them vote the Prohibition ticket. We shall have an electoral ticket In every state and those Demo crats and others who cannot conscien tiously vote for either Bryan or AIc Klnley can vote our ticket. My vl9ws on the money question and on the tar iff also are In accord with the views of these people In general and are de cidedly definite." ' VICTIMS OF THE FLOOD. Pittsburg, July 2S.

The as grejente of the bids, twenty-two in number, amounted to only $1,010,000, the price ranging from par to 109.5, the latter for only $10,000 of the Issue.

THE RAILROAD CONTRACTORS Two Hundred Men at U'ork and Oth ers Are Iking Rapidly Employed. HAMMOND IS THE KIGHT MAN Aiitijcr Mschaaas Ssyt Astoris Is Torts sate la flaviig Secured Him Hcid asarters tHiMiMitd st lUisicr. Yesterday Mr. W'. A Buchanan, manager for Honeyman, Dell art r Co.. contractors of the main line to Goble. was In the city and spent a large part of his time In consultation with Mr. Hammond. When seen by an Astorlan representative and ques tioned about the work, Mr. Buchanan aald: "We now have over 200 men at work and will put more on as rapidly as we are able to secure them. People do not yet generally know that there Is work to be had for the asking, and we are not particularly pushing mat ters as it takes a little time to get such a large enterprise thoroughly started. We will soon have plenty of men and expect to run a force of be tween MO and 1000 men. Our work consists entirely of grading and tun. nellng, and we will have It all finished, by the terms of our contract. May 1st next. Wakefield and Goerlg have the contracts for bridge work on our part of the line. "We have established our headquar ters at Ranter, where we have our bookkeepers, clerks and commissary department. Speaking of the commis sary. It Is astounding how much grub men will eat who are working out ot doors. Every Ave minutes I get a telegram asking for a quarter of beef, a half doxen quarters ot mutton. or two or three barrels of flour. 1 think we will establish our own slaughter house at Ranier and thus provide our meat with the least pons! ble exH-ns and trouble." "It Is said that the rate at which you have taken your contract is an unprofitable one, Mr. Buchanan." "We are perfectly satisfied with our contract Other bidders, I think, went on the basis of old times and olfl prices, when every railroad contractor used to make a fortune on every Job he took. Times have changed now. The prices of all commodities have lowered, and every class of business Is on a different basis. Our proposition is a cash one. We get our money when we want it Mr. Hammond pro poses to have the best possible road at the lowest possible cost He has made no secret of this, but has steadily maintained every agreement on his part, and expects his officers and con tractors to do the same. The people of Astoria, are very fortunate to have secured such a man to carry out their long-cherished railroad project The entire scheme Is a magnificent one and will advance the Interests both of Port land and of Astoria. There can be no question of rivalry between the two cities. Both are In the same state, working for the same great object the building up ot the commerce ot Or egon and establishing of the greatest domestic and foreign traffic on the Pa cific coast What helps one city helps the other. We propose to stand by Mr. Hammond, as he has and will stand by us. He Is a man who keps his contracts to the letter, and what he has undertaken to do you can rest assuerd will be accomplished. Asto ria's great opportunity is here and your people will be very foolish .not to grasp the situation as a drowning man clutches at a straw." AT THE BEACHES. Monday evening the residents at Camp WInated mustered forces at Gearhart Park and the largest crowd ot the season gathered on the beach to enjoy the beautiful evening. Huge bonfires took away all chilliness from the air, and much to the surprise of the gentlemen the young ladies fur nished the fuel tor the fires, giving the party a leap year tinge. Mesus. Carson and Booker, with mandolin aid guitar, furnished charming music for the occasion. Others In the party played upon the banjo and harmonica, whllo a chorus of good voices was a feature of the evening. A late supper finished off the entertainment Another clam bake Is on the pro gram at Gearhart for' tonight, and Manager Barmore promises a good time for all.

Mrs. B. S. Worsley Is In charge of the Elk Creek House, and Is taking good care of her many cus tomers. ' Cannon Beach Is perhaps the most picturesque spot along the Oregon coast Ocean, meadow, forest and rocky cliffs are combined in happy confusion. The scenery la grand be yond description and only those who hate visited that coast can appreciate In any manner Its wonderful beauties. Clams, rock oysters, mussels, salmon trout In the mountain streams, and game in the forest delight the fisher men and hunters. Nature seems to have provided everything for man's pleasure and recreation at this favored spot i Judge Page spent Sunday at Mark Warren's place; Mrs. Crow is visiting at Wagner's; Mrs. Ross, the milliner.

I a,l state central committee thla evening declined to accept the resignation of Chairman Stephenson, and called a state nominating convention to be held at Bay City August 15.

It is arranged that the Populists and new union silver party conventions will be held at Bay City on the same day as the Democratic convention, and it Is expecteed a fusion of the three parties' on one ticket will be accomplished. This . Is considered a necessity by the silver men, as the state law enacted by the last (Republi can) legislature required that the name of any candidate cannot appear on more than any one ticket.

NEW PROCESS OF PLASTERING lasares Inmc&ate lit of Biildiags Vithoat Dsiger to Mealta Boos to extract ors ea Risk Jost Factory for Istoria. Among the prominent visitors in the city yesterday was Mr. Justus T. Krumbcln, the Portland Architect, who designed the Hotel Flavel and has su perintended its construction. To an Astorlan representative yesterday af ternoon Mr. Krumbeln said that he was well satisfied with the work done so far on the buldlng, and that the contractors were faithfully living cp the specifications called for In the plans. " The building will be ready for occupancy by August lth. and Mr. Krumbeln says It has been one of the most rapid pieces of construction thai has come under his observation. This statement means a great deal, com ing from such a man. It wdl be re membered that Mr. Krumbeln was the architect for the Salem capitol build ing, and St Vincent's Hospital In Port land, and is one of the oldest and most experienced architects lu that -Mty. When questioned as to the reason for the quick work done, Mr. Krumbeln said that he attributed their success oot only to the energy of Contractors Bayles A Palmberg, but to the won derful Improvement la methods of plastering used In this building. He said: "The plastering on the Flavel Hotel, from top to bottom, three stories and . ' . V . V. ,, Kacm Ann In " trie mortar hardener. This la a chem ical process which turns common lime mortar Into Portland cement and yet gives it the elacticlty of rubber. Plas tering finished In this manner never cracks and will wear for years.

A careful investigation of the shores along the Astoria and Flavel water front, Mr. McKendlrck says, has resulted In the discovery of a fine grade of sand which Is not only of perfect quality for use In the manufacture of the new plaster hardener, but In his opinion there are some beds of sand here which might be used in the manufacture of glass. This is a new enterprise not thought of before with any degree of certainty as to success, and which ie well worth thorough and careful Investigation. As time goes on doubtless many oth er branches of Industry will be found applicable to this particular climate and location. SOUND DEMOCRATS. Indianapolis, July 28.
