The Democratic state convention was called to order al 10 a. m. by Chairman Murpfiy of the state central committee, who called for nominations for temporary chairman Miller of Linn nominated J. K. Weatherford, of Albany; Judge Thayer of Multnomah nominated F. V. Hoi man of Portlauil; Nickell of Jiiokaon nominated P. H. D'Aroy, of Satem; Captain G. H. Moflet of Portland seo oned the nomination of Weatherford, nut he stated for personal, but for polit ical reasons. He said Hnlmau was a nold man, and was here as a represen tative of Portland banking interests. Cox, of Mu lineman, called Moflet to order and asked him to withdraw the statement.' Mollett explained that tie did not mi au any oflehBO to Hoi mau but that be was an attorney for s ime of the banks and that be (MofTe.lt) wnn ted a Silverman In the chair. Cox, of Multnomah, seconded the.uomin'ation, of Holman, Baying Holman was not a gold monometallfet nor a silver monometallism but a limetalllst. D'Arcy then withdrew tils name in the interest of Harmoqy. J J. Kelly, of Multnomah resented the 1 nputatlon that there were those in the convention, whose breasts were adorn ed with JeffereouBian-badges, who weie here in the interest of any clique. Hol man after stating his position as a blemtallist and paying a tribute to Weatherford, withdrew In bis favor. Weatherford was then elected tem porary chairman by i c tlamatlou. Weatherford in brief speech counselled harmony. hi. D. Koobe of Multno mah was chosen temporary, secretary. The chairman then appointed the fol lowing cemmittees: Credentials.

Among the placs named are Hum boldt aud Eureka, Cillforuls; Cots Bay aud Ynqoioa li&y, Oregon, Meet to Discuss Ways and Means of Culture. About sixty fruit growers met in the banquet room of State Insurance ball at 10 a. m. Tho attendance was larger rtliaif at-any previous meeting. The report of Secretary Mrs, Wnd was read. President Cottle read a paper on fruit culture and au interesting descrip tion of his observations while on a tour of California this winter. Ho predicted a new era of prosperity resulting from fruit growing In Oregon. In codoluMon Mr. Cottle deplored the defeat of the fruit pest Inspector bill In the last leg islature. That bill authorized a bom patent Inspector to condemn an Infected orchard and If the owner did not de stroy the nuisance, tho inspector could have tho orchard destroyed at the expense of the owner of tho land. He hoped thlB law would bo enacted at the next session Qf the goneral;assembIy. He favored abolition of the fences (hat now cost hundreds of thousands' of dollars annually. He also denouueed the large appropriations of tho last leg islature for "Oregon's standing army." He appealed to all.to Join tbls or ganization and bring their friends and neighbors Into It. Mr. J. R. Bbepard moved to adjourn till 1 p. m. Carried. Mrs M. J. Curr, Mrs. R. L. Wand, aud Mrs. II. B. Munson were the only ladles present this forenoon. TUK OREGON PACIFIC. The. Journal's sieclal telesram from Corvallls Monday told that Re ceiver Clark had for the third time obtained an order from Judge Fuller ton, to pay tho running expenses of the Oregon Pacific railway in full, and tha' there was.a surplus. That was the most Important news afleotlng the cor poration question that has been pul llehed In many a day, When Receiver Clark met tho pay rolls and operating expenses In full the first month It was given out that It was duo to the fuct that a quarter's pay bad come In for carrying the malls. The next month ho again pId tho men In full. Now for the third time ho meets all tho pay rolls and oporat i ig expenses and has money leftover out of tho ordinary earnings of tho road in very bard times. Receiver Clark has done more. He has paid for fuel and materials out of the earnings, by exobauglug services of the road for the same, and helping out the poor settlor on the Bantlam by enabling them to sell and market about 300 cars of oord wood. Ho has also carried free many of those peoplo and carried free the necessaries of life to their homes in the upper valley. He has shown it Is possible that a railroad corporation may ;be ma le to do some thing for the pwrer peoplo and not alone be a means of favoring and en rlchlug.the wealthy. Nearly all tho newspapers In tho state and many, of our readers were ready to denounce The Jouunal for its vigorous exposures and denuncia tions of the rottec receiverships of the uregon i'uclllo preceding Mr. Clark Bf- Supreme Court Decisions.

Hlllsr, aged H. from Clackamas, were today brought to the asylum, , David 11, Hill having exploded, it is Mrs. Lease's tarn now. is now paying operating expenses and more, while under Hadley It ran $000 to $700 a month In debt, uudcr far more favorable conditions? Why is This I Receiver Clark, who was simply a clerk In tho freight office, with a few men, but by application of Industry, economy aud honest administration of a public corporation In tho Interest of the property Itself, ana lu the real In terest ot fue people aud the country it runs through, is able to mako money, wbore an expotinced set of corporation managers hopelessly bankrupted (bat same corporation. Why Is this? We will tell the peo ple wby: Because a horde of officials on high salaries, a horde qf corporation lawyers at immense fees and retainers have been choked off, and a competent, practical, honest business man has taken their place at the holm. That Is the reason wby. Was not The Joint nal's fight worth making? It would be a godsend to the American people If the corporation looters and strippers could bo choked of! from all theso cor porations now In the bands of receiver ships. It would demonstrate that those corporations have been systemati cally plundered and wrecked In the name of management. They have been robbed and fleeced aud bankrupted by dlrectors,nfilclals and lawyers who were no better than publlo thieves and con fldonce men, from Henry Vlllard and i Is associates who are accused by Judge J.-uklns of plundering thd Northern Pacific of nine millions In one year, to (he same bind of a crowd, who bavo bled the the little Oregon Pacific. If the grip of these professional cor poration plutocrats could be broken, and railroads restored tn an honest business management, there Is not one of the seventy railroads In tbo United States today In receivers hands that would not at once pay opt rating ex penses and a fair Interest on the ln vestment, Wby should that net bo done? It must be dona unless our courts are to become merely the tools of further legalized robbery of the p)ld. Under Oregon Pacific management, as shown by Hadley's float statement ofJaq, 6, 1604, there were legal ex pen charged up amounting to $38, 528 60. This and all other bills for the officers salaries must bo paid out of fitres and freights. The fight of Tjih JouitNAf, was to call attention to this sort of robbery while labor and ma terial men were unpaid, Weaball eontinutto call attenllou to this feature. These bills for legal ex penses may be Just In part, but as no cases were tried In court, and nothing determined aud no legal status of the corporation altered, they are largely fictitious. If the press pf the United States would expose these frauds we feel Buro that further legalized plund ering of corporations now in tbo hands of courts under receivers would bo at an end, and Impossible in future. If Receiver Clark goes on honestly managing this corporation, aud honest ly applying tho earnings of tho road to actual expenses legitimately Incurrod for actual sorvlcos performed, he will mako a grand record for himself. Ho will do much to solve tho railroad problem under receiverships. We anticipate thojboodlers and plutocrats will not allow him to do- thlar In tho struggle be should have the hearty Bur port of tho press and all publlo pflUlals who are paid by the people to protect publlo Interestc.
