IS BIG SURPRISE
JOHN H. M'NARY DECIDES TO EE-'-j
; COME A CANDIDATE FOR
I f DIST. ATTORNEY.
This Will Be a Dark Shadow Upon the
Aspirations of Distxict AtLorney
Hart and Also Upon the Candidacy
of Judge Burnett for Renomination
From This County. .
The interest in Oregon politics is not
by any means confined to the Congres
sional convention of the First District
which will lie held in this eityi on next
Wednesday, when L. T. Harris and
li.on. Bingr Hermann will cross swords
an. i fight the battle of their lives for
the much coveted nomination, With the
result as mjich in the dark now appar
ently as it was two years ago with both
men claiming a majority of the conven
tion and their practically assurred suc
cess, for it begins to appear that there
will be something of more than pass
ing interest doing in the state conven
tion on the following day, Thursday,
April 14.
! It was given out at the convention;
at Dallas yesterday afternoon after the
state delegation had been named, that
the delegation would go to the conven
tion solid for Judge Burnett an J. f.
Hart f or their respective aspirations,
eiicuit judge and district attorney, but
there were several in this city last ev
ening who took occasion to discredit the
report and questioned the statement
that the delegation was favorable to
Judge Burnett, and it was also said
that, contrary to general opinion in the
past..Mr. Hart would not have a walk
over in th convention for the nomina
tion for re-election.
f it was authoritively announced last
night for the first time during the
campaign, that John ,11. MeXary,
this eitr had decided to ask the conven
tion for the district attorney candidacy
When seen last night Mr McNary not
nidy confirmed the rumor of his candi
daew for the nomination but he said
that he. was going to makothe race-regardless
of the eanaidacy of anybody.'
This announcement will be received
with no little surprise by the majority
of the people of this city as Mr. Mc
Xary, although his name has been re
peatedly mentioned in this connection,
hcs denied the rumor every time and
stated that he would not be a candidate
so long Mr. Hart aspired in that di
rection. It is quite evident that some
thing has transpired to disrupt this ar
rangement and Mr. McXary's eindi
daey will throw a rather dark cloud on
that of Mr. ; Hart for the latter will
lose the entire support of the Marion
ecunty- delegation of twenty-three,
which, it is understood, will stand solid
fo- Mr. McXary. Decidedly interesting
developments are anticipated as a re
sult of this announcement in the state
convention. Mr. McXary's candidacy
will-also have a derogatory influence
vij-on the candidacy of Judge Burnett
f it his anticijated nomination.
Bishop IT. L. Barkley, of Woodburn,
arrived in the city yesterday for a short
visit. ;

' (From Sunday's Daily.)
Another strong delegation has been
aded to the ranks of the supporters of
Hon. LY T.r Harris of Lane county, can
didate for Congress from the First
district, by the overwhelming victory
of the Harris slate ovr that favorable
to Hermann. in the Polk count v eonven-

TlhlTy'- lahoola del;gat,esJthe convention the result might have
. nl r Jt? 4'oflvention he lo: been otherwise. ' The vote resisted as
eal factional fights were not allowed
to enter and the members of the con
vtntion showed their jreference in no
unmistakable terms by'iving the sev
eral Harris delegates votes ranging
from 107 to "'109, .while the Hermann
sympathizers ' receiveil from 29 to 32
votes.
The Congressional contest was a lead
ing issue in the convention, and had
an effect in deciding the other county
officers but the main fight was made
for the office of state Senator. On the
first ballot yesterday afternoon Tj. S.
Lai-ghery of Houth Dallas, won the cov
eted, prize by a good majority over 1L
U. Kirkpatrick, the champion of the
opposition thus ending one of the most
bitter campaigns in the Republican
party ever waged in Polk County. So
bitter" was the fight that the firm of
Williams & Kirkpatrick dissolved part
nership because Ralph Williams chose
to oppose the nomination of his part
ner, and was instrumental in bring
ing out Mr, Laughery as a candidate.
Although this contest was practical
ly settled when the results of the pri
maries were made known on Thursday
evening, yet the Kirkpatrick forces
never gave up hope until the ballot
wns counted and the result announced,
avd bitterly did the sting of defeat
f.ill on the nineteen delegates from
Dallas, who had so warmly supported
tteir chief.
All night before the convention and
yesterday morning the Kirkpatrick
men put forth their most strenuous ef
forts, but with so little success that
when thee onvention was called to or
der - 3-esterday morning by County
Chairman W. W. Percival, the control
of the body was conceded to Laughary
and W. T. Huffman was chose- -m-"""v
chairman ; and U." S. Urant of
Dallas temporary secretary bv acclama
tion. In the afternoon the adoption of!
th report of toe committee on organi
zation made the officers permanent. An
effort was made to reject proxies held
by men not from the same precinct, as
it was .learned Kirkpatrick men were
atempting to secure proxies from the
opposition, but this action was bitterly
opposed by Hawkins and was voted
down.
The defeat of the Kirkpatrick forees
was complete anil they were allowed
nothing by the victors, not evn a sin
gle member ef either delegation. Even
the popular f-'. L. Starr, who had allied
himself with that faction, suddenly
found himself on sinking ground, and
bad not Mr. Laughery, whom he had
bten opposing, come to hi rescue by
insisting without compromise on the
re-nomination of Prof. Starr, it is
among the slaughtered. He is the
only officer on tne ticket who is a can
thfught that he also would have been
didate to succeed himself. While there
was a contest for several offices, the
best of feeling prevailed and business
was dispatched with accuracy anil dis
patch. By 5 o'clock all business was
transacted, and the convention adjourn
ed. This was accomplished by sending
the tellers to an adjoining room t
count. all tedious contests, and other
nominations were disjosed of in the
meantime.
The office of representative went
begging and it seemed to be even a sur
prise to himself when I). L. Keyt was
nominated. He was the first canUiuate
to announce himself for Senator, and it
seemed that the. strongest supporters
of Mr. Laughery, were in reality Keyt
men who intended to spring him at
th! last moment, hence he withdrew
from the race. But these plans failed,
a. Mr. Laughary is one of the most
popular men in the county, having
served two terms as clerk, and when a
canvass was made of the outside dele
gations Friday -evening it was found
they refused to switch to Keyt. Sev
eral delegations threatened to" vote for
Kirkpatrick in ease this was done,
enough to have nominated him, so the
idea was given up.
Judge Purnet practically secured the
endorsement ef the .convention, as the
slate chosen was supported on the plea
that the men composing it were favor
able to him. It is claimed by outside
parties that D. L. Keyt, who drew up
the slate, is favorable to McCain of
MeMinville, but any such feeling was
hidden yesterday as in asking the sup
port of the convention for hi slate, he
said ' These 3 men are not pledged to
any man, they canot be bought by any
man, but are, favorable to Judge Bnr
ett."' 'It '.was also taken wiithent
question by al! members of the conven
tion J. X. . Hart would be the choice
of the delegation for uistrict attorney.
Routine Was Interesting
The conventidn met for the afternoon
session at 1:30 o'clock, and the report
of the committee on credentials was
received and adopted. This report made
no reeommendaiion in regard to proxies,
and on motion those holding proxies
were allowed seats, although there was
strong opposition, and there was some
doubt about the division of the vote.
The committee on organization made
its report, which was adopted without
oppositions- i r-v.- "- ,
A portion of the report of the com
mittee on resolutions was objected to,
as it asked snr nort of the delegation ia
Congress for the passage yif the bill to
assist -the Tewis and Chirk Exposition,
after the bill halt passed. This objee -
tion was overwhelmingly defeated, and
the resolutions were, adopted in theft
entirety. These resolutions commend
ed, the administration -and- upbraided
the present county court, and its ad
ministration of the county's affairs. "
The first order of business being the
nomination . of l- State Senator, D. 14
a errydale, placed in nomina.
j.nis was uuoe-Tmnou; eulogy, as the
speaker": said this was -not necessary J
Geo . L. . Hawkins ' took t he floor and
put the name of E. CV Kirkpatrick be
fore the convention in an impassioned
speech, reciting the understanding that
t he --tiomi nation was to' be left to Dal
las, and describing the bitter fight
which had been made resulting in the
victorious choice f E. C. Kirkpatrick
as the candidate from Dallas. He also
recited numerous - instances wherein
Dallas had given practically all of the
Republican majority of Polk county;
His nominating speech was an 'appeal,
a 1 in Oft with tears did the speaker call
upon the outside delegates to allow
Dallas one candidate, which she had
not been-allowed for years.. i
Contrary to general speculation the
nominations were closed without fur
ther names being presented, alt Lough it
was confidently expected that J. M.
Stark, of Independence, would also be
nominated, and many of that gentle
man's admirer openly expressed their
disappointment. Even several Marion
county gentlemen were on the floor
hoping to assist him, and without his
name being proposed, he was honored
iwith five votes; Had he come before
follows
Laughery, 90; Kirkpatrick, 37; Stark,
5; Blank, 4. Total, 136. :
V. S. Laughery was declared the
nominee of the convention, and was
cheered to the echo. He made a short
address, pledging himself to iparty fidel
ity, and to. work for the best interest
of the county. ';; j-
iKirkpatrick was called upon, and re
luctantly resjonded, although it was
evidently an effort to speak. He dis
claimed all personal resentment against
his opponents, but had never liefore
tasted the sting of defeat. He elbsCd
by saying that he would make no
pledges, and would therefore break no
pledges. ' . - J - j
Hi- Plummer, of the Kirkpatrick con
tingent, responded to a call by saying
he would be heard from after the polls
closed in June. j
Decidedly For Burnett. j
The next orrter of business being the
electing of nine delegates to the state
convention, !.. L. Keyt moved to vote
by informal ballot, which motion was
adopted. Kirkpatrick spoke in' favor
of his printed slate, followed by D. L
Keyt, who also had a printed slate dis
tributed. Both men declared the men
on the slates were pledged to no man,
could be bought by no man, but were
favorable to Geo. II. Burnett for cir
cuit judge. . j
The tellers gathered the; ballots and
then retired to an adjoining room for
the count. The contest was simply j a
contest between the Hawkins-Kirkpjat-riek
and'Keyt-Laughery factions, las
lioth delegates were of the same view
en circuit judge and district attorney.
The Keyt-Laughery delegates won out,
their votes being from 79 to 134, ac
cording to the popularity of the meni.
The nine delegates chosen, to tne
state convention are: D. L. Keyt, E.i N.
Hall, K.-M. ; Yoimg.'J. L. Hanna. Y.
Lucas J. R. Ford, U. S. Grant, T.j J.
Graves, and Al Baxter.
Strong For Harris.
While the count was being iaade on
state delegates, the nominations ,for
Congressional delegates were taken jun,
also by informal ballot. For this dele
gation there were also two slates, One
composed of delegites favorable to Her
mann and the other to Harris, for Con
gress. -In this the local factional fight
did. not enter, the contest simply living
Hermann ox Harris, and the Harris
slate came-ont triumphantly victorious,
the Harris' delegates getting .a Unit HP'S
votes each and the Hermann sympa
thizers 30.
Hie nine delegates to represent Polk
county in the Congressional convention
are: F. A. Patterson, H., B. Brophy,
C. R. Farlev, Lee RoweU, L. E. Bed
well, T. B. Hooker, C. L. Hubbard, E.
E. Paddock, Frank Gibson.
When nominations were .declared
open for Representative, Wm. L. Kid
dle, of South Monmouth, and 1. L.
Keyt, of Perrydale, "were nominated.
Riddle withdrew his name and D L.
Keyt was nominated uy acclamation.
For county commissioner, John Teal,
of Fails City, Wm. Riddle of Monmouth
were Snomiuated. The vote resulted as
follows: Riddle, 75; Teal, 63; Blank,
2. Total, 140.
It was evident that the ballot j had
been stuffed, as t here were two more
votes east than there were members of
the convention, so a new ballot: was
taken, resulting in Riddle receiving 74
votes. Teal, the present inenniberttj, TS,
and Steele, 2, therefore Riddle1-j was
declared the duly chosen nininee; for
county commissioner. ' I '
For the nomination for county clerk.
Chairman Hwffman called D. L. Keyt
to the chair, and took the floor in sup
port of E. M. Smith, of Monmouth,
whom he nominated in a warm speech,
and on motion, he was declared i the
nominee by acclamation,
" For county judge. J. ft. Shepard
took the floor and placed in nomination
J. W. Hodson, of Spring Valley,! for
whom he spoke warmwords of praise.
Hardy Ilolman, of Dallas,' was nominat

not gTven some candidate, the Republi
can ticket would not make a very good
showing at the polls ia Jone.V Kd. F.
Coad, of Dallas, and Geo. W. MelW,
of Dallas, were also nominated. iThns
then factional feeling in Dallas again
cropped out, dividing- the house against
itself. An attempt Cad been made to
compromise on some candidate, but
Mr. Coad held out, so all three names
were presented. The frst ballot re
sulted: Coad, 52 Totes; Hodson, ;4;

There was a Congressman who had
served in this officer's regiment, and
who was always telling us of his hero
ism on tho battlefield. When I met his
old colonel I naturally began to inquire
about my Congressional' friend's deeds
of gallantry.. To my surprise -the colo
nel seemed to avoid -the subject, and
this excited ray cariosity.
'What sort of a soldier was he!" I
inquired. How did he appear upon the
battlefieldt 1
" Well, said the colonel, hesitating,
L should describe him as a very con
servative soldier very conservative,
indeed.' " ?
