"Second", state and county affairs.
We demand an economical and honest

ation undr which they are being crnsn
ed, and which amount; to virtual 1 con
fiscation. Third We demand for the people

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. L. HEibard has died
since this convention's last meeting;
and. ' - .' ; . -
-Whereas, to his wise counsel an1
unselfish devotion to the principles of
riie People's Party, is greatly due pop
ular, protest against be encroachrnents
of clais legislation -upon the inherent
rights of our citizens; and
. "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
