DEMOCRACY HAS A CONVENTION


There was Democratic State Com
vention in st. Louis, May Is, VIM. A.
Hall presiding officer. 1t was about as
harmonious as the party, and a mere
travesty upon conventions. In order
that it might approximate to a "big
thing on ice " motion was made to ad-
journ from the Institute to the Skating
Rink, but the natural horror of water
10y Democracy defeated the motion, and
the Convention froze to the Institute,
but finally concluded TO "take it mixed"
and adjourned there. After considerable
business had been transacted, speeches
made, etc, Mr. Milburn, OF St. Louis,
was struck with an original idea, and
moved the Convention be opened with
prayer" There was considerable dis
cussion as TO the appropriateness of time,
place and circumstance, but against the
protest of large number, who had a
dread of such q Radical innovation, Rev.
DIR. Smith of the Centenary church,
offered up petition, using the follow
ing expression: Grant TO save us from
more than stupid error" The Conven-
ton didn't relish the clerical wit and
wisdom. Finally a resolution was offer
ed declaring Geo. H. Pendleton the first
choice of the Convention for President
1t was declared out of order. After the
regular business had been disposed it
was again announced, when a motion
was made TO adjourn sine die, and amid
the greatest confusion, without adopts
ing any resolutions, or instructing for
any candidate or course, with the Con-
vention about equally divided, the great
Democratic Convention fizzled out amid
the storm of the raging elements. Brick
Pomeroy was then called and spoke a
few minutes, TO keep the unterrifed out
of the wet, and likened the Democratic
sentiment to the rain dashiug upon the
roof" Precisely, Brick, mere vapor,
that the conflict of elements sends to its
natural level it dashes against the roof
tree that loyalty has firmly erected
over the ark of the Union, goes down a
spout, into the cutters and sewers and is
swept out by the current of public opin-
ion TO be seen no more. The Conven-
tion was a death blow to the Democracy
of Missouri and is fair example of
what may be expected when the diver
sites of the party convene at New York
July 4th, for Kilkenny fight.

The Capitol.

The kilograms state that the scheme
is about to be revived of removing The
Capitol of the United States flom Wash
ington City. 1t is not a new project,
and on a resolution of similar purport
some time since the the vote was signif-
icant of the fact that Washington is not
considered the proper location for the
Capitol. Beyond the reasons given by
Logan, are others as important its ex-
posed situation in the event of wars,
and its remoteness from the great heart
of the country. As an evidence of the
former we have but to cite its capture
and burning by handful of British in
1914, and the blockade of 81: of the lats
ter the three or four thousand miles be
tween the States of the Western coast
and the seat of government. The i'm
mense expenditure for public buildings in
Washington city is almost the sole
cause that has heretofore prevented a
popular agitation of the question, and
while it will undoubtedly control the
action of Congress, we anticipate a
strong vote in favor of the resolution
will evince the favor with which the
project is otherwise regarded.

THE GREAT SHAKE.

The earthquakes occurring in Califor-
MIA and Nevada on the night of May 30
did one good service at least; it gave the
newspapers first class topic. It was
slight in San Francisco, heavy in Sacra-
mento, immense in Silver city, Nevada,
and sufficiently lively for ordinary pur-
poses in Carson, Washoe, Gold Hill Day
ton, Austin and numerous country vii
lagos throughout that region. The Vir-
ginia Enterprise says California had long
made boast of superiority in that line,
Nevada only having traditional vibra
tion in $50 or go, but that now Washoe
can put on airs with the Golden State,
having turned out regular ground
SlceU Virginia had tn distinct shocks
between 9 and 10 o'clock, p. N. A con-
siderable scare occurred in the mines
the laborers thinking big cave had oc-
CURED, but no lives were lost. Many
ludicrous incidents occurred. The
typos" in the Enterprise thought the
basement boiler had exploded, and the
through the building Miss Sue Robin
son was playing the Soldiers Bride,
writing the letter TO her father stating
her earnest desire to '1eave the horrible
place" when she changed the word for the
deed and "lit out" for the wings. The
Masons in Silver city changed the pro-
gramme from third story tragedy to
street farce without previous announ-
cement, and the Odd Fellows did the
same in Virginia. Men prayed in the
streets, ladies made hasty toilets in ami
mated apartments,an and all appear to have
had sufficient experience to satisfy their
most ardent desires, although but little
injury was done. AS we possibly may
be favored with vibration of our own
we reserve the scientific disquisiti on and
description for future use.

AGAINST THE BRANCH.

We are again in receipt of an able let
ter from q. j. Schuebly, of Washington
Territory, commencing the course of the
POST and urging the people of Montana
to unite with those in the Territories to
the West against the proposed branch
lines from the U. p r. R., and in favor
of the through Northern road. We
think If the press of the West is as
united upon this subject, and gives
it as much attention as the papers of
Montana, the antibranch interest will
be pretty favorably advocated He as
sures US the people of Washington Ter
ritory are alive on the subject and the
Branch project meets with disfavor from
all. The temper of Congress at present
indicates the Central will not be able to
obtain any subsidies forf either of the
proposed Branch Lines, and the friends
of the Northern Road are confident of
success at the next session, in the event
of favorable report from the engineers
and hearty support from tie North
West. The article enclosed by Mr. s.
has already appeared in the paper.

THE OREGON ELECTION.

A dispatch to the Territorial Enter
prise, dated June I'd. says the Democrat
ic majority in the Oregon election was
about 1000, only one county, Marion,
giving Republican majority. 1t had
been anticipated by those best informed
that the majority of the Democracy
would reach $500 or 5000, the immi-
grafton from the Southern States being
very heavy. In go the Democratic ma
jority was about 3,400. In ga it had
turned to 2,700 Republican. At the
close of the war the immigration from
the South set in strong, and in '62 the
Republican majority was only 800.
Since '65 the influx from the South, al
most unexceptiOnally Democratic, has
been about 900, and with the vote in
creased over 5000, there being no reg
istration or test oath required, the Dem
ocratic majority is only 1000 1t viii
add one Democratic member to the
House. There are Senators to elect
until 1871, and il is believed Grant and
Colfax will carry the State easily.
