PORTLAND POLITICS.
Tho stnto convention sat upon tho
Slmon-Dolph faction. Multnomah
county aud the whole statu repudiated
tho rotten Portland primary af con
ducted by Simon under the Simon
primary law. , 1
Tho Slmon-Dolph clement has lost
Us control of the political machinery
of Multnomah county nnd Portland
clty politics. Thoy hnvdjjost control
of .tho state organization, TfmlMr.
Simon should not bo continued as
national Republican committeeman
by the delegates from Oregon to tho
national comoutlon.
Tho people of Oregon are tired of
tho Slmon-Dolph combination. Thoy
want something cleaner, fairer and
more American, and they arc. going to
have It. When men like Sol Hlrsch,
John II. Mitchell, D. P. Thompson
and General Williams repudiate tho
machine the 'people will say Amen
nnd ratify their actions.
Portland lrolltlcs has entered upon
a new era. If properly managed it
can and will command tho respect of
tho rest of tho state. Tho Idea of
men ltko .Simon, Scott nnd Dolph
posing as reformers and economists Is
nauseating to nil Americans with any
knowledge of politics In this stntc.
Tho pcoplo repudiated the assump
tion in toto. Their hair docs not curl
that way. The Journal wants
Scott-Dolph-Slmon to show whero
they ever originated or presented
sincerely a measure of reform or
economy In the Interest of tho people.
Thoy havo licvcr done anything but
plunder, oppress and misrepresent tho
people In state aud nation In the
name of the Republican party. It
was high tlmoa new deal ordered In
Portland politics.
Pacific Railways' Bill. '
Washington, April 10. Tho con
sideration of the bill for settling tho

should bo brought up in tho house
within two weeks, and Uthe time
necessary for Its consideration would
bo given.

Denver, April lO.-Scnator Teller
nnd Representative Shafroth havo
decided definitely that they will not
bo candidates for election as delegates
to tho National Republican con
vention. Both say they cannot sup
port the gold standard candidate for

Louisville, April 10. Tho Re
publican convention resumed Its
work this morning While the Brad
ley mou havo control of tho organiza
tion, their majority Is luslgnlllcent,
aud tho MoKIuley men are sure to
make a stubborn fight when tho reso
lutions nro up for action, nnd tho

majority of 01 out of a total voto of
1,575.
Tho resolutions committee pre
sented Its reported. Tho declaration
against freo silver caused a great
demonstration of approval. There
was oven greater cheering, however,
when tho resolution was read declar
ing Bradley the choice of tho conven
tion for president, aud directing tho
delegates to cass tholr votes for Mc
Klnloy If Brndley withdrew.
Tho platform was adopted without
opposition. It was an empty victory
for tho Brndloy men, whoso plan has
been to glvo tho delegates Btralght
instructions. McKlnlcy men are
Jubilant over their success forcing
recognition from tho faction which
controlled tho convention from tho
outset.
A. R. Burnam, one ot tho original
McKlnley men, Colonel Low P. Tarl
ton,' oho Of Gov. Bradloy's right hand
men, and Senator W. J. Dchoo, also a
Bradley man, received a majority on
tho Urst ballot and were declared dele
gates at largo. A proposition was

Portland, Me., April 10. With an
enthusiasm almost unequalled in tho
history of Republican politics In tills
state, the convention for the nomina
tion of delegates to the national con
vention was hold hero today. Enthus
iasm centered about tho name of Thos.
B. Reed, tho unanimous choice of tho
convention as it candidate for presi
dent, Tho slightest rofcrenco to
Reed called forth great demonstra
tions. Hannibal U. Hanlln was chosen
chairman, nnd mado a speech In advo
cacy of protection and "honest
money."
At tho mention of Reed's name tho
cheering continued, oyer Increasing In
strength, fully llyo minutes.
Herbert W. Heath, of Augusta,
chairman of the commlttco on resold
tlons, reported a platform. It says
the Republicans of Malno gladly Join
with the brcthorn of other states In
presenting to tho illopubllcani Jof
the nation for promotion to tho presi
dency the speaker of tho national
house of representatives. Ho needs
no platform. Ho Is opposed to the
free and unlimited colnago of sliver,
except by International agreement, and
until such agreement can bo obtained,
no believes tho present gold standard
should be maintained.

Another Assignment.
Mr. Leo Willis, broker and real es
tate agent, doing business In Salem
for a long time past, has folt com
pelled, by tho stress of tho times, to
mako a general assignment for the
benefit ot his creditors. Mr. U. L.
Chamborlln Is named as nsslgnco,
whoso well known charactornsn reli
able and clllclcnt business man Insures
a careful and successful settlement of
the affairs of tho assignment.
The catibcs of this action aro given
as Inability to collect outstanding
claims by reason of the existing finan
cial stringency, tho great depreci
ation In values of real estate render
ing sales dllllcult nnd hIow, excopt at
ruinous sacrifices, and a desire to pro
tect all creditors against loss by liti
gation or forced sales. Assets are
deemed sutllclcnt to meet all tho
liabilities, an extension of tlmo only
being necessary.
