Thsy Oppose the Scboolbook' Monopoly and the Oregon State Militia, The following platform was adopted by tbe democratic county convention last Friday: ,.. Tbe democrat of Lluu county, Ore gon, in convention assembled, believ ing that the present depressed condi tion of tbe country is largely due to the financial system now prevailing In tbe United States In consequence of the bad laws on that subject passed by congress during the lust thirty years, and believing tbat tbe money question Is one of the main questions of public importance now before the country wean therefore unalterably opposed to the single gold standard and In favor of Immediately returning to the constitutional monetary system in ex istence In this country up to the year 1873; to this end we demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold into equal standard legal tender money at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without tbe intervention of any foreign or European conference what ever, and upon terms of exact equality at the mints, nnd when so coined, to be of equal legal tender quality for all debts, dues and demands both public and private in any amount. , i. We demand tbat all paper mon ey aball be Issued directly by the gov ernment without the intervention of any national or private bunk. 3. We arp utterly opposed to the Issuing of Interest-bearing bonds in times of peace. 4. We favor the repeal of all speclflo contract laws both state and national in regard to the payment of debts iu any particular kind of money, except the full legal tender money of the country. 5. We are in favor of a tariff so ad Justed as to affect alike our agriculture, our luhoring people, our commerce and manufacture. 9. We are In favor of a prompt aud vigorous enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine under all proper circum stances. I 7. We demand such legislation by our next legislature us will guarantee In the electors of the state tbe oppor tunity of expressing their approval or disapproval of all public measures. 8. We are opposed to the present school book monopoly of this state whereby tbe people are compelled to pay unjust and unreasonable prices for school books. We therefore arraign the republican party of Oregon for en acting such laws whereby the school children of the state are compelled to pay tribute (a th, book trust, and de mand Ibat said laws be repealed at the next session of tbe legislature. 9. We favor tbe construction of tbe Nicaragua canal, and tbe control there of by the government of the United Slates. 10. To the end tbat we may have au economical administration of ths state government, wo demand that the salaries of all state officers shall be kept strictly within the limits of the consti tution, aud that al (iroyidliig extra foes or compensation of any duty or service imposed by law upon such offi cer shall be repealed. " 11. We urge upon tbe next legisla ture the unqualified repeal of all use less commissions and especially de mand the repeal of the laws oreating. the tajlrqad, commission, th,e stste board of equalisation, and. ths domes tic animal commission, and also tbe repeal of the laws creating and appro priating money fir the support of the state and county fairs, and. (lis office of fish ootnmiwioner snd game pro tector. 12. W demand the repeal of all laws providing for tbe organisation and support of tbe Oregon State Mili tia, and also the repeal of the law oiwttlMg the offloe of Sjttmnej -general, 18. We demand tte re-enactment of tbe mortgage tax law, and the amendment of our assessment laws so that nil the J jst indebtedness of the taxpayer within the atate may be de ducted from his assessment, )4. As the salaries at present paid to our county officials render taxation burdensome, we therefore demand that tbe salaries of the county clerk of Lluu county be reduced from $2,000 to $1,600 per year; the sheriff from $2,000 tq $,600; tbe oouuty recorder from $1,800 to $1,200; the county judge from $1,200 to $D00; the county trt aaursr trotn $1000 to mu; anil we uenouuee uie extrava gance that has prevailed in ths county assessor's office during the adiulnistra tion of the present republican Incuuw bent. 16.

Portland, April 4.-When tbe re- publican county oonveiitlou assembled at 10 A. M. today in the A. O. U. W. ball, Joe Simon and Jundge Charles H. Caaey leaders of tho opposing fac tions, each eudeavorud to-call the con vention to order. Both were nomina ted as temporary chairman, and both were deolartd eieoted by their fol lowers. A free fight followed. Canes were waved In the air and brought down on tbe beads of cursing, struggling men. Blows were exchanged wherever elbow room could be gained to deliver them. For five minutes the battling, per spiring crowd surged up and down and across the stage, and then the very shame and disgrace of the scene reeacted upon it, and a lull such as comes in the height of battle followed. .. Carey insisted that his delegate must be seated, and Simon declared tbey should not. For two hours tbe battles cf words and frequent blows were waged, and at last tbe Carey fac tion elected delegates to tbe state and congressional conventions, adjourned until Monday and left the hall. The Simon faction tben elected an other set of delegates and a full county and municipal ticket. D. Bolls Cohen was named for mayor. It was the wildest scene ever wit nessed in a political meeting in Port laud, and resulted in au open rupture between the two factions, whioh seem to be nearly evenly divided. Yamhulers Being Buncoed. "Old Yamhill" has a new sensation, she s fairly giddy with excitement. It is none of your cheap John affairs that can't get upon its bind legs and walk across a ten-acre lot without limping, either. It is a full-fledged go-as-you-please and get-there-if-you-can gold mine boom. The fever Is spreading worse than the whooping cough or measles, aud the sturdy old Yamhillers are being buncoed into the belief that the new Eldorado has been discovered in the foothills west of McMiuuville. The new mineral lode is a mammoth ledge of dark conglom erate rock which starts in on the east sida of the coast range runs clear through tbe mountains aud drops off into the Pacillo ocean.
