In thlaycarlEOO it Is an honor to oo a Republican. It Is a doublo honor to bo In a Republi can convention, and it la tho liluhcst of nil liquors to bo called to preside over a Republican convention. At no time In tho history of our country has a man had a greater right to com pliment himself on tho fact of his bolng a Republican. Four years ago tho Democratic party gained control of our government. It possessed every cxeoutlvo branch, and, as a re sult, today wo enjoy tho prosperity that tho Democratic party has given to us. Then tho country was a humming bcehlvo of Industry. Tho Democratic party started where It had loft otf In 1800, and almost tho ilrst thing It did was to haul down tho American Hag which had been raised at Honolulu. This douo, camo tho Wilson bill, and with it tho funeral of hope and prosperity. The work shops wero shut up. Every American Industry was prostrated, and since thon wo havo enjoyed In Its fullest senso Democratic prosperity. In this tlmo of profound peace, wo arc called upon to witness a secretary of tho treasury calling foe bonds to meet tho expenses of tho government, and to day our indebtedness has Increased In tills Democratic administration nearly $00,000,000, and this In a tlmo or peace.

"Let us, all or us, Join In Insuring a lusty republicon victory. Lot us march under ono banner, with ono purpose In view to glvo to the people tho grandest government on earth. "Wo must riso above all factional feeling, all factional strife, and a man who cannot do so Is unworthy tho namoof a republican. Lot us start tho ball rolling toward victory; Lot us unite all our forces In ono grand effort, not to light among ourselves, but tho enemy." Mr. Fulton's remarks woro well received, antf as ho closed, they wero loudly' applauded. When tho "cheer ing had subsided, ho asked, "What Is your pleasure, gentlomen.?" Early Fruit Destroyed. Poutland, April f). Tho amount of damage done to tho fruit crop by tho last frcczc-up has been pretty well ascertained, and It Is moro serious than at ilrst supposed, but not so bad as It might havo been. Practically, tho entire peach crop of tho state has been destroyed, In tho vicinity of Medford tliero may bo a tenth of a crop, but to all Intents and purposes tho peach crop Is douo for. Early cherries arc also completely destroyed, and 60 per cent of early prunes woro killed. Early pears wero also Injured to koiiio extent. Thcso facts are obtained from Mr. M. O. Lowusdalc, who has carefully looked into tho matter. IIo says It was not a frost that did tlio Itijuiy, but a regular frcczo-up, the like of which so lato In tho spring has not been known hero slnco tho state was settled. Tho only consolation fruit growers have Is that tho trees on which tho fruit was killed will havo a rest this season and will mako an ex tra growth. No ono need bo alarmed about n scarcity of fruit, as there will bo plenty of lato cherries, pcars.plums, apples, etc. Aniioit I)AY.-Tomorrow will bo observed as arbor day by tho public schools of tho city.
