'.THE DALLES. May 6.-W. F. Butcher,
Democratic candidate for Congress from
the Second District, opened his campaign
here last night, ncorlng a success from
the start, and having a large audience,
which listened attentively to his address
of one and a half hours. Judge A. 8
Bennett, the distinguished Jurist of this
place, presided, and introduced Colonel
Butcher In a few remarks that were In
the nature of an Indorsement of the
Democratic ticket In general an! Colonel
Butcher in particular.
Colonel Butcher made these points, en
forcing them with vigor, and apparently
receiving warm Indorsement from the
people present:
Opposition to leasing the public lands.
FavorB development of the mining re
sources in every manner possible.
Favors development of the arid-land
recions.
Argues that if Oregnn sends a Dem
ocratic Congressman to Washington, the
to this state than they will If It remains
In the column of sure states, with noth
ing for them to gain in granting de
mands to be made by people here.
Foremost, ( however, he presented the
Improvement of tho Columbia river as a
teadlf g 4heme, T&nd one that is calculated
tt!unite all people.. That he regards as
the iiaramoimt Ibhw..
Colonel Butcher left at noon for An
telope, having strengthened himfelf very
materially by his appearance here.
Anderson & Johnson, proprietors of the
Cricket saloon, on Third street, near
Yamhill, are losers to the extent of J60
an iheir slot machines machines' Sunday
night business.
After th saloon was closed some one
broke into the place and went at the
machines on the only principle where
there was no chance to lose with an ax.
About $50 was takfn from the machine
which pnys in quarters, while the nlckle
Hot yieldyfa)out $10. Money is a very

have little hope of catching the thief.

An intense feeling against the Oregon

especially by the officers who had been
caricatured. The following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
Inasmuch as this is a convention of
wage-earners and mechanics representing
as it does the great majority of the skill
ed labor of the state of Oregon and
"Wtiereas: An Injustice has been done
some of the prominent and deserving
leaders of said convention, in a manner,
aa we believe, to be prompted by a spirit
of lii-wlll and hatred toward those who
ai-e participating In this convention by
misquoting the remarks of prominent
speakers and by publishing the most in
sulting cartoons of our officers and speak
ers, therefore; :
. "Resolved. That It Is the uense of this
convention that the Oregonian Publishing
Company be requested to correct the mis
quotation' of our speakers and publish
half-tone, photographs of our officers and
speakers which were cartooned In the
Issue of the Oregonlan, this 6th day of
May; 1902."

missioner of Washington, was one of the

It is learned from, a reliable source
that a deal wasconsummated yesterday
whereby Major Thomas Charman, has
sold his residence property it the corner
Of Seventh and . Main streets to Sol
Garde, head clerk t I. Selling's mercan
tile establishment. ' The rear purchasers,
however, al supposed to toe the Sellings
of Portland. The exact consideration- was
not itarned, but Is presumed to be some
wlfere in the neighborhood of J10.000,. as
that was the price asked by Mrs. Char
man for the property. It Is the best bus
iness corner In ! the city, situated nea'
the suspension bridge, and has a front
age of 64 feet and a depth or MB seet. it
Is stated that a brick business block will
be erected on the lot, two or three stories
high, and that tenants have already been
secured for the storerooms. Tne dwelling-
on the lot has been occupied by
Major Charman and family as a resi
dence for many years past, and until"
few years ago was the most pretentious
home In the city. The property Is be
coming too valuable for residence pur
poses, and the house will be moved away
to make room for a business block.
Teams from the Foresters and Knights

A FROST
Judge Williams Made
the. "Big" Speech.
The. much advertised campaign opened
under the auspices of the Roosevelt Re
publican Club did not resolve Itself into
the great demonstration that Jack
Matthew, and the "machine" managers
had no fondly anticipated. The meeting
was held In n big tent at tht corner of
Grand avenue and Market street and the
attendance, when the proceedings finally
commenced at 8:30. did not exceed 250
people. Including a number of women and
a goodly turnout of the Irrepressible
"kids" who flocked to the front row of
benches. ." "
The meeting, taken as a whole, . was
cold and chilling frost. Willie Banks
and Charlie Uurkhardc assistant post'
master, one of the Federal official who
are not supposed to take pari In politics,
were both greatly In evidence .as head'
quarters for the "machine" and such ef
fort as .was made to make a demonstra
Hon by applause was led by them.
After considerable delay a quartet of
colored singers mounted th platform and
entertained the smail crowd with a varV
ety of coon songs, and finally Secretary
Smith, of the Republican Central Com
rtilttec, pu. In an appearance, called the
meeting to order and requested ,all. Re
publican candidates present to mount ins
platform. Frank Barnes, candidate for
County Commissioner, was first to re'
spond and after giving the flsd hand to
Secretary Smith, took a seat on the back
row of Thalrs. One or two more: followed
Barnes' lead. Then Secretary Smith
bade all present a welcome and intro
duced little Tommy Cleeton as the first
speaker.
Tommy Cleeton lost no time In retting
down to business. He started to fight the
1'hlllppine war over and was still on the
firing line, declaring the island to be
TrmrievtiDly Test' uaiesa. the RtijiftUillan
monthJust In the middle of one of his
perfervld flights of oratory there was
slight demonstration at the tent opening
and anrattempt to raise a storm of ap
plause by Willie Banks and CharlttflJurk
hardt over the appearance of Judge WU
llama, 'the effort was futile, it qiea
'boom in, and Judge Williams, supported
by Charlie Lockwood, was assisted on the
platform, escorted to a chair, followed by
Lionel Webster, William Colvlg and Wm.
Jameson. Little Tommy Cleeton then
renewed his attacks but the small crowd
gathered lost all Interest in what he was
saying, so Becretary Smith gave him the
cue and Tommy subsided. ; "
Judge Williams was then Introduced,
but auch act, on the part of Secretary
Smith " was merely formal as nearly
every one present knew the Judge. As he
arose to take, his place at the table and
helped himself to a glass of water, the
great change in his physical condition be
came painfully apparent. He bore, but
cllght semblance to the grand old man of
former years when his clarion voice was
heard from one end of the state -to the
other on the political stump. Instead,
all that those present saw was an old
Irian, bending beneath the weight of ad
vancing age, bts voice no longer clear and
Impressive but trembling and at time
uncertain. It was noticeable that 'Judge
Williams had keyed himself up to meet
tlio occasion; he endeavored to disguise
the Infirmities of age and appear buoyant
and chipper, but the effort bravely begun
failed before he had talked IS minutes
and five minutes later he was so ex
hausted that he brought his remarks to
a finish, giving way, as he put it, to
other spekears who were present to ad
dress the meeting.
Judge Wllllmas commenced his remarks
by paying a glowing tribute to the Re
publican party, appealing to the prejudices
of those present and abusing the Demo
cratic party. He patted the Populists on
the back as being of a party that really
desired a reform in public affairs and
then referred to fusion generally and the
fusion of a portion of the Republicans
and the Democrats In this county in par
ticular. He claimed that the chief cause
of dissension in the Republican party was
due to the aspiration of a few men seek
ing office and In order to settle the dif
ferences between the two faotlo&s the
primary law had beea enacted. He then
reviewed the action of the late Republi
can county convention and while be would
not say that the majority had acted Wise
ly and admitting it would have been bet
ter to have conceded some nominations
to the minority, as a matter of fact, the
majority had a perfect right to make
such nominations as It wanted to. He de
fended the fusion between Democrats
and juuchell-Republlcans two years ago,
on the grounds that the nominations on
the Republican ticket were made by a
few 'men, but generally he was opposed
to fusion and despised It.
Judge Williams at this stage was speak
ing with great effort on his part and In
quavering voice appealed to all Republi
cans in Multnomah County to leave the
miserable business of fusion and fight for
principle and the election of the Jack
Matthews' machine-made ticket. Regard
ing his own candidacy Judge Williams
said:
I have been nominated against my
wish for Mayor of Portland, I don't want
the office, and, If elected, will have to
make a great personal sacrifice. But hav
Ingfaccepted the nomination I will take a
personal pride In being elected aa I do
not want to be defeated among people
with whom. I have lived for 60 years. I
am a Republican candidate and one rea
son why I accepted the nomination was,
that It was urged that through my can
didacy I might concllliata the two fac
tions, but my. success III this direction
has not been a howling success. Another
reason for my accepting was that being
a lawyer, when the new charter went In
to effect, my experience would enable me
to construe Its provisions better than one
not versed In law." .
Judge William then closed by referring
to his age, plead guilty to the charge of
being an old man but said, if alecteff, the
people would have th liveliest kind of
an old man for Mayorl i. , .. .
William M. Colvlg, a Damoorat, who U
ffolnc 4 cast JiWTlrif Republican ballot
next June, , was ' the next speaker. ; He
pitched toio the. Democrats with th vigor
and resentment of the most ardent : of
stalwart Republicans,1 keeping Willi
Banks and Charlie Burkhardt busy work

enough , to ; catch, his breath W. A,
Storey. Lionel Webster and other can
didates had their say at th tar end of
th meeting but the crowd thinned out so
rapidly that th meeting was brought to
an abrupt close after a 1 amen .able effort
to produce . some enthusiasm into th
minds of those who stayed to th bitter
end. by- proposing cheers "tor' th'candl
