N. YOCKEY. Notary Public for Oregon. THE ASSEMBLY SHAM. THE effort to revive the political convention under the name of "assembly" is made under pretense of uni fying the republican party. As a matter of fact, the re publican party, without political machines, is nearer unity today than ever in its history, and the assembly is simply a cloak to restore the political machine to power. There never was a time during the regime of machine rulo when the party was not split wide open with factional fights. The Mitchell-Simon war is still fresh in tho pub lic mind and the pages of the past reveal a succession of party squabbles that continually landed democrats in office. The trouble with the politicians of the party is that they will not accept the dictation of the republican ma jority, and will vote for a democrat rather than for a re publican not chosen by themselves. Even now the Orego nian, prime mover and organ in chief for the assembly, promises the knife for candidates chosen by the people, not worn riKurntlvol) sunk In luxurious ease.

FRUIT reports from all sections indicate a normal apple crop in the far east, a partial crop in the middle west, a practical failure in the southwest and a large yield on the Pacific coast. The prospects indicate general short age and good prices. The outlook for apples is very poor in Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin, Iowa and further west, irregular and spotted in the southwest. Michigan apple orchards escaped the havoc wrought further west and southwest, and this is also true of some other northern states. Yet Michigan, even though not suffering very much from April frosts, caught it hard in May. Western New York has every prospect of a good crop, no material damage by frost, a good set of fruit and bright prospects. Pennsylvania orchards which did not bear heavily last year are promising, yet in some important counties the set of fruit runs licht. In Maryland a few orchards situat ed on low points were injured by frosts, but not enough to . JSVoTa Vir?
