Third We demand for the people the right to self-government through the initiative, the referendum and the imperative mandate." T. W.. Davenport, of Silverton; J. B. Dimick. of Hubbard, and Jacob Voo--hecs. of Woodburn were called for and made brief addresses, endorsiig the sentiment for reform; that was mani fested in the convention. The -following resolution, offered by A. C. Libbey, of Jefferson, was unani mously adopted: "The People's Party pauses in its de liberations to note with profound sor row and feelings of deepest regret, the absence of one who was with it in every previomis assembly of importance, since the reform forces of this state were or ganized in the interests of better gov ernment for all. and "Whereas, K.

"Whereas, the private life of K. L. HiUxard was such as to make his name gsynonymous with all that js good and nororabic among men; therefore 1 ,TBe tt resolved by the People's Party in convention assembled, this 6th day of April, 1900, that by the death of K. L, Hibbard. the People's Party has lost a wise counsellor and unselfish member and the state a citizen in the highest degree, honorable anJ patriotic; "Resolved, that the secretary be in structed to spread a copy of this reso tion on the minutes of this convention, and furnish a copy io the family of the decease;'."' "; ProL T. C Jory moved that the of fices on the coun-ty ticket from county judge to i cproner, inclusive, be left blank to be supplied by a citizens move ment. m J. A. Jeffrey proposed an amehd mertt to the effect that both the legis lative and executive offices be left blank, the supplying thereof to be left with a committee to be named, by, the conven tion, they to fill the vacancies in event the citizens movement did not mater ialize."" - t '- J The introduction of this motion and the amendment that was offered, ' gave the loquacious Populists a theme for discussion and they very generally availed themselves of the opportunity. J. W. Jory, Mr. Cleveland, B. J. Sharp and others spoke against the amend ment, while Mr. Jeffrey, in j a very afole debate argued for the amendment. He was suoported by E. O'Flyng and J. P Robert son.1 The latter gentleman moved an amendment to the amendmert, that two representatives and a candidate for county judge be named, the supplying of the balance of the ticket to be , left to a committee of ten. He failed to re ceive a second. R. R. Ryan then pro posed an amendment to the amendment that the convention proceed to name a complete county ticket, but it was de feated by a decisive vote. Mr. Jeffrey's amendment was then called up and met the same fate by a vote of 42 to 73. Roberstpn renewed his amendment, nut was ruled oirt of order. The original motion then carried -by a vote ot Co to S3. - . "By a vote of 28 to 22, Robertson of Turner, was successful in a motion that the convention proceed to name two two candidates on the legislative ticket John A. Jeffrey and John. W. J.ory, both of Salem, were placed in nomination. The names of I, L. Robertson, W. T. Rigdon, B. J. Sharp, Asa Eoff, G. W. Weeks and T. Y. McClellan. were also offered. but all of these gentlemen declined in positive terms, with the exception of W. T. Rigdon, who was not present. Asa Eoff, who named Mr. Rigdon, was in formed that his nominee was a Silver Republican and the candidacy of that gentleman was not further considered by the convention. Upon motion, the secretary cast the rote of the conven tion for Messrs. Jory and Jeffrey, who were declared nominated. Upon motion of R. R. Ryan, the naming of the renrainder of the ticket was left to the county central commit tee. The election of precinct chairmen by the precinct delegations resuhe 1 as fol lows: Aumsville, S. T.

The selection of candidates lor road supervisors, constables and justices of the peace was left to the individual pre cinct delegations. At 6:20 o'clock, having disposed jf ;11 business, the convention adjourned. Immediately following adjournment, the members of the county central com mittee held a meeting and ejected an organization by re-electing ' Geo. W. Weeks as chairman, and naming Prof. T. C.
