Stabla luck of; State Insuranco Jjloek 0 CONGRESSMAN The Battle Is Now On Up In Linn County. FROM OTHER COUNTIES, Mr. Hermann Seems to Be Stil in the Lead. IN LINN COUNTY. The Republican county convention Is held today (Mar.2) and will bo one of the most exciting In history. The Albany Herald April 1 has these edi torials on the congressional situatien: An ex-federal ollico holdci who has Just returned from a fat Job up north, threatens the republican ticket In Llnn county with utter annihilation this year unless he can dictate who shall be delegates to the congressional convention. The republicans of Al bany and Llnn county will tolerate no such dictatorship. As farnMlefcating the ticket Is concerned, the opposition of sucli a so-called republican is bettor than his support. Intimidation and bulldozing may work among the bush whackers, but not In Llnn county, Ore gon. The will of a majority of the delegates to the convention will deter mine the question of candttatcs and all good republicans will abide by that decision. A big medicine man fresh from the Alaska Indians, wants to bo dictator of the republican party In Llnn coun ty, whoop! Who Is referred to, wo do not know. Ed. J. The Republican county convention will be held tomorrow and It looks as If the "Regulars" were on the Inside. Albany Democrat. Hermann's managers feel sure of part of the vote of Linn county, but do not know how much. Thoy claim the above positively in eight out of the sown teen counties In the district. That leaves only eighteen votes to get and only Ford Intervenes. It Is probable that Hermann Is second cholco in several comities, so that he will get the required vote. Tn Llnn county tlio adhorents of the old Portland ring havo takon ad vantage of the opportunity to pack the convention against a Mitchell legislative ticket and in favor of a gold 1 to for congress. They will bo resisted by the Independent clement In the party. The Albany county seat ring politicians seem to bo with the former. DOUGLAS COUNTY. Roseburg Flalndealcr, April 1; A stranger reading dispatches from Roseburg concerning the primary meetings last Saturday, would think somebody had lied, and truly they may, for there Is a Hat contradiction in the dispatches to tho Orcgonlan concerning it. D. S. K. Rulck states that tho delegates are for Hermann and Simon Caro says they were against him. The fact Is they are for Hermann. Mr. Caro, the only man opposed to Hermann originally, pledged his honor as a man that if chosen a delegate he would not oppose Mr. Hermann, and on those assurances he secured votes enough to elect him. RosEiiuiWJ, April 2. To the Edi tor.) Tho Oregonlan contains a dis patch from Roseburg signed by D. S. K. Rulck, in which It Is stated that Douglas county Is solid for Hermann, and that Hermann' delegates were elected in that town. They may Iks Hermann delegates, but they wcro not supported by Mr. Rulck, or the other managers of Mr. Hermann. Mr. Rulck was appointed consul to Lonneburg, in Germany, by the last administra tion through tho Influeuce of Mr. Her mann, which fact may, in a measure, account for Mr. Rulck's .enthusiasm for Hermann. Tho enthusiasm for nermann Is confined almost entirely to Ithose who expect something If nermann is re-elected. Mr. Rulck Is the same gentleman who nominated Mr. gllermann, of Salem, two years ago, and assured Mr. Tongue's friends that Mr. Hermann would not be a candidate at this time. If Mr. Rulck gets to Albany to nominate Mr. Hermann, ho will get there on a proxy. A Delegate. BENTON COUNTY. Indications are that tho primaries are for Hermann first, Ford oti second choice. The following resolution was passed by the Republican primary of Soap creek precinct and voted to send a copy to each of the county papers: Whereas, Owing tdthc general de pression initio finance ofi the state, and the low price of coittPiqdltlcs Bold to pay taxes nnd the unjust, principle of taxing the whole for th'dediientlon of the few. Therefore bo'lfc Resolved, That no innril money bt paid to state normal or high school of any description from tho treasury of tho state, nnd bo It f urthbr Resolved, That no moref money bo paid to any benevolent or sectarian school within tho state, 'flieso reso lutions are not Intended wioffect ap propriations to common schools of tho state. i BETWEEN APRIL.

He Is putting In nil his spare time exercising a rooster that so far has given very unsatisfactory results. The Marion county and state Popu list conventions sat down hard on the "for revenue only" fellows in their party. It Is a hopeful sign for tho people. . It is thought by some, Judging from his method of getting hlsfco nut of tho Oregon Pacific taxes, that Lawyer Rlugham is ono of tho old Hogg re ceivership crowd. Judge Hubbard had no business to treat public business from the stand point of tho taxpayer. Ho might havo known ho would incur the displeasure of tho Statesman nnd Its nmnngcrs. Up to tills writing Mr. Reed has exactly 48 votes to Mr. Morton's (II and Mr. McKlnlcy's 154, out of 345 delegates. This shows a falling ofT in the leading candidate who had a clear majority a few days back. . Tliero will bo somo moro Orcgom Pacific dellnqunt taxes paid over to Marlon county soon.

Governor Lord, Secretary Klncald and Treasurer Mctschnn did well in fixing wages at $1.80 on the state sewer and hiring all free labor. Now let laboring men who need tho Job bo given a first chanco at the work. A correspondent at Eugene writes: "A number of persons are laboring under the impression that tho dofcat of Senator Dolph and tho defeat of mo rortiunu cnaricr out wcro nccom-.

Harvey Scott would no doubt like to have ttio "impression deepen." Why don't tho Eugene man sign his name? Why don't Harvey Scott name the men ho Insinuates got tho money? Tho antl-DoIph men are well known. If any of them got money, It should ' 1)0 published wtio. Mr. Reed lias written a letter to a friend in Pittsburg, declaring that lie would not think of seeking support ' for tils candidacy In a state which had a candidate of its own for the presi dency. Tills reminds us of the retort , of tho small boy whoso sister tried to get him to desist from walking on the sldowulk on the palms of his hands with his feet in tho air. "Johnny," sho expostulated, "I wouldn't do that if I were you." "No, because you could't," was tho unbrotberly re sponse. Mr. Reed's boom is not of tho stalwurt description which Invades states pre-empted by "favorite sons." All his clever manipulation of con-' gress, which ho lias brought to so fine a point that members of tho house 6tcp to his desk and ask for leave to offer u motion to adjourn, has gone for nothing. ; Weatiiku Forcast.

Republican pri maries today give promlso of being tho most liotlv contested fn the lilstnrv of the country. Thcroiiriwo tickets In the field, Simon and .Mitchell. Tho Simon ticket Is headed "for low taxes." The Mitchell ticket "for J. H. Mitchell." Tho Simon forces have control of the polling places, while others have control of the pollco and tho special deputy sheriffs to the number of four hundred. Should any underhanded, work be attempted serious troubls. 1h thrcut .cued. A noticeable thing is the pres ence of a large number of strnngo men In tho city, who It Is charged mivo been brought here for tho solo pur pose of voting, early and often. Roth sides are contldeut and determined. THE UATTI.E IIKCIINS. Poutland, April 2. Among tho placards on tho many bucks at the polling places, "Taxpayers Agiilimt Taxcators," Is tho most conspicuous. Long beforo tho polls wcro opened, a motley crowd of intending voters gathered. At somo polling places ob jection was mado to somo of the Judges, but without avail. Tho Simon men would not yield. Tho polls opened at 1 o'clock, and the strugglo began, DISQUACEFUL PROCEEDINGS. At 2 o'clock an attempt was made by tho pollco to arrest Larry Sullivan, a sailor boarding house keeper, who was Intimidating voters in tho sec ond ward. Tho polling place Is lo cated in tho Sullivan boarding house, nnd when tho officers approached Sullivan ho retreated to the uppor story of his "Castle," and securing his shot gun, announced that tho first man who ntlomptcd to arrest him would t)o killed. Ho took a scat in tho second story window with a shotgun in his hand nnd surrounded by several of Ills heelers watched ttio proceedings. In tho third ward Pete Grant Is directing nlfnlrs for tho Simon faction. Tho crowd Is lined up for a block nway and it is probablo that many voters will bo kept from tho polls. VOTING SLOWLY. Principal points of Interest on the west side of' tho river aro at the second nnd third wards. Hero voters are lined up for about two blocks, waiting their chanco. Voting Is very slow, owing to numbers of challenges and n manifest attempt to keep voters from voting. In tho lines aro all conditions and classes of men. Business men are sandwiched In between morphlno fiends and hobos. No attempts at rencatlmr lias been discovered vet. Simon Is conducting the light In tho second ward in person. AT ALUINA.

The rumor of the death of General Gomes Is still current here and Is being added to by alleged details of his alleged demise. The latter aro that tho Cuban leader is said to have expired somo days ago of hcmutysls at the Socorro planta tion, In the provlnco of Matanzas. No dates arc given, and there aro no facts forthcoming to confirm tho re port of Gomez' death. Private news of a reliable character received here through other than official channels states that Maximo Gomez passed six days since by Crusces and Santa Clara, going to ward Puerto Principe. These advices assert that Gomez1 health Is very much broken, and that ho desires to return to Santo Domingo. A Heavy fire Lota. HitUNBWioic, Gu., April 2.

Talk of Lynching at BuUeviUeNo Foundation For It., Wooomuhn, Or., Apjlf 2. --Word was brought here last Ught that tliero was much excitement and bitter feel ing In lluttevlllo over the killing of Frank Kclley Monday by Jus. Dozler. There was- tnlk of a lynching .party being organized last night to punish Dozler. Some fecllng.exlsts against Cdroncr dough, because ho hold a secret Inquest Monday. It lias also been learned from pretty rellablo au- horlty that a warrant will lie issued Thursday for the arrest or Dozlor on u charge of murder. Mr. Dozler. was at his work yesterday plowing, nnd did not feel uneasy as to his safety. At the funeral of Kelly Dozler was denounced as n cold-blooded murderer by tho speaker. Tho feeling on tho part of tho Catholics against tho A. P. A.'s In Butlovlllo Is very 'bitter, nnd many fear that more blood will bo shed beforo the trouble Is ended. The statement that Kelly played with tho baseball team at Oregon City last year Is a mistake. The ollicers from Salem wcro scon In regard to tho matter but said there was no foundation for the report of threats of lynching. The people In the north end of tho county are not of an easily excitable nature. No apprehensions for tho safety of Dozlor aro felt by any or his friends here. DOCTRINE OK AMERICA. Preidw.:t Diaz Upholds Us in the Vene zuela Matter. Mexico, April 2. Tho most Im portant part of President Diaz' mes sage, delivered today, If an allusion to the Anglo-Venezuela controversy, and President Cleveland's messago to congress. This part of tho Moxlcan president's messago is us follews: "With our northern neighbor, our Intercourse Is of tho sumo friendly and cordial character as our diplo matic and other rolatlons havo been for some years past. Naturally, Invo cation of that doctrluce which con demns nil attempts at European usurpation, nnd tendencies to modify Republican Institution of tho New World In a monarchical direction, aroused great enthusiasm' among the f rco nations of this continent. "Invitations of International char acter wore not wanting that tho Mox lcan government should nt once stato its opinion In so grave a mat tor, but tho oxccutlvo considered that haste was not proper In expressing an opin ion on a subject which Involved not only tho Monroe dncrrlno but also Its application to tho controversy between Grout Britain ami Venezuela. As we wero not acquainted with tho question us well, perhaps, as tho United States, wo wore not In a posi tion to asstimo that the claims of Great Britain necessarily constituted atuittcmpt nt usurpation. Nor could wo consider that ovcry lxuiudnry dis pute afforded ground for appli cation of tho wlso doc- trluo In question. On tho other hand, tho simple fact that Eng land had refused to submit to arbi tration herclnlms to a part of tho disputed territory, whllo accepting It for the rest, was not, in our opinion, sulllclent ground far unfavorable pre sumptions, seeing that tho Mexican government has declared on moro than ono occasion that .It will not accept itrbltiatlou for certain terri torial questions, especially affecting tho honor of the nation. For these reasons, I declined to mako any pub lie statement to fho question that affected the Interest nnd the most dellcnto betitlmonts of threo nations equally entitled to our respect. "Now that, happily; tho crisis has passed which scorned to threaten war between tho two great nations Into which tho Anglo-Saxon raco Is divid ed, and now thai our sister ropubllc, Venezuela, Is carrying on at Washing ton peaceful negotiations with Its powerful adversary, It may not Ira out of place to acccdo to tho desires of those, persons who have rcducstcd the Mexican government to stato Itsopln Ion with regard to tho Monroe doc trine.
