Tongue, of Washing ton county, was on the 34th ballot, nominated for United Slates repre sentative for the first congressional district, and the great fight against Binger Hermann was , won. The struggle was long and & little tedi- , ous, but it was carried on without bitterness, and it . was gallantly won. Hermann got his maximum strength on the first ballot and thereafter it gradually dwindled until it was in the neighborhood of 30 votes, and these stayed with him to the last. Tongue was second choice in the number of votes. As the fight proceeded, the sentiment for Tongue began to manifest itself, until it was so strong it could not longer be disregarded. The sup porters of the weaker candidates finally yielded and went to Tongue, and that is the way he was nomi nated. ' It was midnight, but the conven tion nominated delegates to the national convention and named a congressional committee and thus finished its work and adjourned. It was .unmistakably a sound money convention and voted for Judge Moore, of Klamath and J. F. Calbreath, of Yamhill, as delegates on the clearly evident stipulation that they would stand for sourd money. -Wyatt, . the free candidate, did not allow his silver name being to be presented, his defeat sure. - ;- ' Advertised Letters. . -The following list of letters re mained uncalled for in the Poet office at Athena, Oregon, April 1, 1896.

About the poorest excuse for a job of burglaring that one could possibly witness, occurred in Athe na sometime Monday night or Tuesday morning. The First National Bank and Bloch's store were the places tried for admittance. A, crowbar was used, and in the bungling efforts to secure admittance to each place, thefront doors were badly cut and scarred up. Entrance was not effected in either instance, and the only damage done was the defacing of the woodwork as before Btated The work was undoubtedly done by a drunken si wash, a small boy or some one who desires to impress upon the mind of the city council the need of a ni.htwatch, and is laying foi the job. , Only Slight Damage.
