Recess was taken of half an hour to give committees tlmo to report. Called to order at 3:15 and Max Pracht, of Ashland, was Introduced to glvo his confcsl ion of faith, Ho said there wore three grave crimes ho had never committed. Ho had never voted n Democratic ticket, ho had never flirted with iho Populists, and ho had never bolted a convention. Ills platform was for protection, recip rocity, a very mild kind Of a "sound dollar," and McKlnloy. The latter sentiment brought a round of ap plause. Editor Snyder, of MoMlnnvllle, now was called out and sang in a fino voice "Nntlvo Land," waving a small American flag In his hands. "Tho Pride of tho Veterans, tho Joy of the World" got a good round of applause. Solo Snyder sings very well. Watson, of Jackson, and Ormsby, of Marlon, were called out but refused to make speeches. Tho committee on credentials re ported and the lists wcro about as printed. II. E. Cross had a proxy for old man Spaugh, of Buttcvllle; Frank J, Miller, of Albany, had a proxy from Josephine; John II. Porter had II. B. Condlt's proxy from Marlon; B. P. Mulkey, of Polk, had a proxy.

It was ordered that ballots be cast by individuals. J. A. Wilson, G. W. Patterson und D. Brlstow were nppolnted tellers. NOMINATINO SPEECHES were now declared to be In order. Wm. Waldo, of Marlon, placed tho name of Tllmon Ford before the cou ventlon. He said he was a native son of Oregon who hud labored with his own hands to build up tho country, no was a lawyer second to none, who by his industry had acquired a for- 'tune that was large enough for any man. He was true to his friends and Just to his enemies. His name was received with great applause. Judge Lough rey, of Douglas, now nominated Hon. Blngcr Hermann, ne declared he was a man conversant with the duttesjof the position, had the ability uhd fitness, the experience of long years; b had a record that was an honor txjtho state and a credit to the people, "n record that would bear Inspection If ho was noml- nated they would have a congressman who would take front rank In con nnd grcsslonal cons continued apple deration. Long :uso. A. I. Macrum railroad commls sloner, now Introduced Tom Tongue. Ho was a man In ovcry way sultablo for the place. Ho wus Identified with tho material interests of Oregon, an able advocato and wise counselor. He had few equals on tho stump and no superiors. 116 was an advocate oj the Monroe doctrine, of protection to the manufacturer und producer, pro tection to tho eggs, butter, cheese wheat, Hour, wool.

Tho chairman t tho convention in the namo of YnnMiIll seconded tho nomination of Tongue. They wanted a man of his ability, his matchless eloquence. Ho wjis interested In farming, fruit) growing und fine stock growing. , It. A. Booth, of' Josephine, made really tho best nominating speech of the day In behalf tof 11. B. Miller. Ho congratulated (lie convention on the Hat of names placed before it to choose from as well as tho zeal and fervor of tho delegates tu advocacy of thoir candidates. This election would restore tho party to power. Altnough Isolated In llttlo Josephine, they had a man whoso In it Hire years had been spent in Oregon, a man of un conquerable will, Inflexible purpose heroic devotion to the party and Its principles. Ho was hot a lawyer or a politician but a man who employed more laborers than any one man in Oregon. His life labors had been oxpended to market ,tho natural re sources and products of Oregon. Ho had Invested his wealth In Oregon. His speech was received with cheers. E. E. McKlnney, of Marlon, now seconded tho nomination of Ford in a set speech rich In many choice ex pressions and excellent' phrases,- that were at times interrupted with ap plause. Mr. Ford was bo well known ho required no eulogy. He had served nccoptably threo times ns a legislator and tho public measures ho had enacted wcro tho most enduring mon uments of Ills fame. This was an oc casion of unusal Importance to tho party and It must act wisely. The eyes of the nation were upon Oregon. Monday, Jtiuo'l, Oregon would sUirt tho Republican roll of honor and tho rest of tho nation would follow and plant Its feet on the solid rock of pro. tcctlou. Tho people had Dover been so Impatient to get a chance to vote ns this year. Our dU tress was not iuovltablo but tho result of igporanco and perversion. Mr. Ford was a man who had Ideas and convictions with tho courage-und Indopcndoucetocarry them Into effect. He was a self-mado man who had begun nt tho foot of the ladder. Mr. McKlnney had really tho most thoughtful nominating speech or the day but slipped a cog in his delivery Ho wus repeatedly ap plauded for his scntlmonts. B. F. Mulkey now put In nomina tion "our most distinguished citizen of Polk county. "He was a man whoso life had been guided by tho two muses the genius of Industry nnd tho capacity for organization. This had given him the front rank In the legal profession he line been sent to the legislature In 1882, presidential olcctorln 1881, register of tho laud ofllco In 1880,' ana federal Judge of the District of Alaska in 1802, which he held till ho resigned, In all these positions ho hud enjoyed the confidence and mutual esteem of tho people. Ho was possessed of that superior wisdom that would enable him to represent tho people ably In congress. Ills bearing would com mand respect In otllclal and soclul life. Tho members of congress would lift their heads to hcur him speak. Ills name would be Wurrcn Trnltt- of Oregon. Delegate Campbell of Clackamus now arose, and, In behalf of tho sec ond largest county In the district, seconded the nomination of Dinger Hermann. He was an old soldier, a man who honored the flag, and tho mention of whose name mude the picture of General Grant smile upon the platform. Applause. It wus not a proper time to swap horses In the middle of a stream. These were crit ical times In the history of the nation and of the party. On behalf of the Populists of Clackamas county, long and continued laughter und applause correcting himself, Mr. Campbell said, "on behalf of tho populco of Clackamas county, I present the name of Binger nermann.
