Thero has been great satisfaction expressed everywhere over the apportionment of offices when made public this morning, and delegates of all the conventions were eager to get to work ana put up a ticket. The Silver Republicans were the nrst to begin operations Dy nominat ing Harrison R. Kincaid for secretary of state to succeed himself. MK. KINCAID'S ACCEPTANCE. When notified of his nomination Secretary Kincaid responded with the following telegram: Salem, Marcn 20, 1898. To the presiding officers and members of the Peoples, Democratic and Sil ver .Republican State Conventions assembled In Portland, Or: Please accept my sincere thanks for the nomination for re-election as sec retary of state by three conventions, representing the Peoples Party, the Democratic party and the Silver Re publican party of Oregon. 1 'trust that the confidence reposed in me by the bimetallists of Oregon whom you represent will never be betrayed, The nomination for this Important office by the unan imous vote of three conventions com posed of a greater number of repre sentative men than ever assembled In any state convention in Oregon Is a great honor and is highly appreciated. 1 accept the nomination and if elected will endeavor In the future as in the past, to discharge the duties of the office faithfully and Impartially to the best of my ability. The demand for the coinage of sil ver on the equality with gold with out waiting for the consent of foreign nations, which has united three great political parties in Oregon In 1808 and will probably unite them In every state in 1900, Is, In my opinion the greatest Issue of the ace and Involves the most vital Interests of tho people of the United States and of the whole world. II. R. Kincaid. Tho contest oyer the governorship waxed warm in the Populist conven tion with a good vote for Waldo and Hare, but Hon. W. R. King, of Baker county, carried on tho fifth ballot. J. O.

United in a common cause for the sacred purpose ofpre.-rving the principles of gov. ernment by the whole people, in fact as well as in name, restoring and maintaining equal, ity, under that government, ol all classes, we, the people's Democratic and Silver Repub lican parties of the stale of Oregon, waving all minor points of difference, and uniting for the purpose of carrying out the greatest un derlying principles upon which we are all agreed, do make and present to the people of this state the following declaration of prin DON'T- ife deceived by t he schng the eitv. hut aa to and supply your wants in everything, at the lowest racket prices', Everything bought and sold for spot cash enables us to sell very low, Remember we carry most anything you need, The Fair has the best goods for the least money, O. F. DABNBY, Proprietor, 274 Commercial st,, Salem. ciples, and to the cariying out ot wh'ch we solemnly pledge each a d every candidate upon our united ticket! First We demand the free and unrestricted coinage of silver and gold At the present legal ratio of 1 6 to I, without waiting for the conent ot foreign nations and we are unalterably opposed to the policy of the present Republican administration in de manding the retirement of greenbacks, and the turning over of the rtoney making power of the government to the national banks, as presented by the bill dtAwn by the Repub lican secretary of the treasury, and indorsed by President McKinleyl and we especially denounce the avowed attempt by said bill to fasten the country irrevocably and forever to the single Oold standard. , We demand a national money, safe and sound, issued by the general government only, without 'he intervention of the banks oi issue, to be a full legal lenaer for all debts public and private, 'also a just, equit able and efficient means of distribution -tired to tbe people through the lawful disburse ments of the government. j We demand that the volume of circulating medium Le speedily increued to an amount sufficient to meet tbe demands ol tbe busi ness and population of ihii country, and ti restore the just level of prices of labor and prodnction. We favor such legislation as will prevent for the future the demonetization of any kind of legal tender money by private con tract. We demand that the government, in pay ment of its obligations, shall use its option as to the kind of lawful money in which they aro to be paid, and we. det ounce the pre.enl and preceedinc administraitons for surrendering this option ip the ho'ders of government chligations, I We deman i that there shall be no further issue of United States interest-bearing bunds. We demand that postal savings banks be established by the government for the safe deposit of tbe savings of the (people and to fici itate exchange. ' We demand the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. We demand the initiative and referendum system of law-making in its optional form, local, state and national, and the submission by congress of all important national questions for an adivsory vo'e of the people, until such time as the national constitution shall have been amended so as to provide for direct leg islation. e condemn as dangerous and unjust the surrender, in all departments of the govern ment, to tbe influence of trusts, corporations and aggregations of wealth generally and the packing of the highest ciurts of the land with corporation lawyers, too ready to do the will of their late employers, and to set aside valid and wholesome laws passed by the legislative departments of the states and government, upon flimsy pretexts, at the be. bests of such institutions. We are opposed to government by injunc tion. In state matte's, we demand. A simple and well-guarded icgistiation law A more equitable mode of appointing judges of election. Stringent laws to regulate the operation of fish traps, fish wheels and all fishing gear in the watcs within the jurisdiction of the state. We denounce and "condemn the corrupt and extravagant Republican legislative assemblies, and charge that the Republican party, in its eagerness for the spoils of office, has become divided into warring factions, so that it is in capable ot government as exemplified by the condition existing in the office of the state treasurer, there being at this time more than $500,000 therein wrung from tbe people by the process of taxation, while state warrants are stamped "Not paid for want of funds." We demand that all districts and county officers be placed upon salaries commensur ate with the duties to be performed by them. Iuasmuch as railroads and o ther corporate property is not bearing its proportion of tax ation, we demand that such property shall bear its just and equal share of the expenses of government. Evangelical Conference, The annual conference of the Evangelical church of the Oregon conference will oe held at the Evan gelical church at Seventeenth and Chemeketa, beginning on April 28, and will hold one week. Tho con ference will bo presided over by Bishop Wm. Horn, ot Cleveland. O.

There wlll.be preaching each aay and general conference work will bo attended to. The local committees In charge promise a big time for all church people of this denomination. Two Ueouisitions. Governor Wi P. Lord today issued two requisi tions on governors of adjoining states. One was on the governor of Washing ton for one Hoffman, who Is wanted at Astoria for larceny from a ware house. Sheriff Jas. D. Hare has been named to accompany tho prisoner to Astoria. The-other requisition was upon Governor Budd of California forO. J. Melvin, now In jail at San Francisco.

Editorial Correspondence Portland, March 20. The confer ence on apportionment of the state ticket, of tho Silver forces, was pro longed as that over platform and I fear was not able to reach as harmoni ous a conclusion. That Is natural, because on the platform conference, men who contended fairly for princi ples finally reached perfect harmony, while In conferences over the distri bution of official honors, personality would lead to discord. But I say this was Inevitable. There was a full quota of Democrats, Populist", and some Silver Republicans hereiaspirlng to palces IT they should bo given their party to 1111, Any allotment or arrange ment could not bo perfectly satisfactory. Yet all the candidates knew that just such thing might re sult as that In the NhulUu 11 c'.r .party might lose this office or be given that, so they were prepared for It. On the platform conference tho fight was to keep down the size ot It, to inject puro principle only, to make It absolutely plain, straight-forward and unmistakable as to meaning. We fought 11 hours and thirty minutes tc keep the Union platform free from demagogery, Injustice and buncombe. I can say on behalf of the Silver Re publicans that we asked for nothing in the platform but a clear ennuncla tion on bimetallism, national treasury currency, the referendum and re trenchment in expenses. There was enough folly proposed to sink the war ship Maine but It was all knocked out In committee. The three conventions unani mously adopted the platforms, except In the Populist party 10 mlddle-of-the roadcrs walked out and organized a party of their own just as wo knew they would do. When It rame to the point for their little state convention to put up a ticket and unfurl Its flag My ifriend John C. Young was uu easy, proposed delay, thought It ad visable to wait and see what the Republicans would do, etc. It's tho same old game. Well we shall see. Wo have contended for a straight platform of prlnclplo, for Union and harmony, for a ticket composed of men of character, ability and cleanli ness, which Is next to Godliness. We want to cut loose from the corruption of the past and let the incorruptible put on Incorruptlon. Wo don't want tho new Union party connected up with either of tho Republican fac tions and the legislative struggle. We cannot entirely rid ourselves of the rottenness of thepast.No more can the Republicans. But there Is an op. portunlty to get some new men to the front and do sometlng for the causo of the people and good govcrnmnnt. In the Union or thc-party organization It Is not so easy for the grafters and boodler? to get contrjl as In a one party machine. We do not have to accept a bad nominee or a corrupt campaign manager ut tho hands ot either party to the contract. With this thought in mind let us hope for best. APPORTIONMENT. After a hard day's work on appor tioning the officers, the joint com mittee of nlnorora each party mudo tho following satisfactory division; Populists Governor, state printer supcrtendant of public Instructions and attorney general.

'(&&?$. es iTiry VMftH. War Inevitable. The Spanish Acknowledge That it Cannot Be Averted, Secretary Long Secures Twelve More Vessels. New York, March 20. A Herald Washington special says: By direction ot President McKin ley, Secretary Long spent 31,000,000 Thursday In thn purchase of 12 speedy yachts and seagoing tugs, which will be converted Into torpedo-boat des troyers and pickctboats. In directing the purchase of yachts aud tugs President McKlnloy was guided by the Information showing that the Spanish torpedo-boat flotilla has sailed from the Canaries for Porto Rice. Before this Information came to hand, the authorities wero not willing to pay the high prices for tugs and yachts inspected for purchaso by the board, but the necessity of improvis ing a fleet to offset that which Spain Is sending to Porto Rice was so appar ent that the picslddit authorized that the negotiations bo closed and the vessels purchased without further de lay. Serrttary Long at once tele graphed Captain Rogers, and received a telegram announcing that tho bar gains ha'd been closed and that tho vessels would bo turned over to tho government at tbe Brooklyn navy yard. Considerable secrecy is maintained by tho officials as to the names' ot the vessels purchased, and the price paid for each, but Is known that only four tugs have been bought, while eight yachts have been secured, .
