DEATH OF EX-PRESIDENT FILL
MORE.

We were advised by telegraph last
evening of the death of ex-President Mil
lard Fillmore. The news could not have
been unexpected, as he was advanced in
years and was stricken with paralysis a
short time ago. The death of Mr.. Fill
more leaves but one ex-President living,
Andrew johnson. Mr.. Fillmore's sue
csssful career in life and the spotless
name he left when death called him
hence are those of which Americans who
honor popular institutions may well be
proud. He was pre-eminently self
made man. He started life as a mechan-
ic and without the advantages of an edu-
cation. But by his own eIertions he
became lawyer, having been ad-
mitted TO the bar in 1923. In 1929
he was elected a member of the
New York Legislature, and as member
of that body exerted his influence for the
adjustment of Imprisonment for debt.
He was elected in 1882, and served three
or four terms, declining further service
in Congress and returningto the practice
of law. He was elected Comptroller of
the State of New York in 1s47, and in
ls4S he was nominated by the Wings for
Vice President with General Taylor for
President, both of whom were elected.
On the death of General Taylor, in July,
1850, Mr.. Fillmore became President of
the United States. His administration
was signalized by the passage of the Sc
ries Of acts known as the compromise
measures, including the admission of
California into the Union, the
organization of the Territories of
New Mexico, and the settlem ent
of the Texas boundary dispute, etc.
He retired from the Presidency in March,
1853, having the year before failed to OBJ
tain the nomination Of his party for sue
cession. In 1856 he was the candidate
Of the American party for the Presidency,
and though receiving the votes of thou
sands throughout the vario States,
only obtained the electoral vote of Mary
land. Mr.. Fillmore was born January Z,
1900. and was nearly u years an ex-
President OF the United States. He was
greatly respected by men of all parties
during his extended public service, and
his death will be universally lamented.

The Women's Temperance Union, the
principal organization of the kind, have
resolved as first step to ask the Board
of Supervisors to abolish rum selling in
the corner grocery stores. They first
proposed to request an increase of the
license fee to such extent as would COM

prominent legal authority and are as
sured that the Board has power to sup
press grocery liquor selling altogether
Accordingly, the following petition is be-
ing actively circulated by the women,
and already more than 5000 names have
been appended to it. On Monday night,
says the Chronicle, of the 9th, body of
fifty ladies' will march to the City Hall

of selling intoxicating liquors in the gro-

causes of the intemperance, crime and
vagraney which exist in this community,
respectfully request your honorable body
to refuse to grant licenses to retail intox-
icating liquors to keepers of grocery
stores, and TO prohibit with severe penal
ties the sale of such liquors, to be drank
on the premises, in any grocery or other
store kept for the purposes Of general

you will pass such other ordinances as
will further tend to decrease the number

the I'd inst. says that there appeared in
the Oregonian of that day call issued
by the Douglas County Convention, for
an Independent State Convention, to be
held on the 18th of April next. The dis
patch says that in some of the counties
an Independent movement has already
been inaugurated, contemplating the
election Of delegates to State Ccnven-
ton, and in others only the nomination
of local tickets. The call for the State
Convention makes provision for these
differences, SO that delegates may be
chosen by the Conventions already
called. Douglas county nominated full
Independent legislative ticket on satur-
day, and Benton and Lane counties
have issued calls for County Conven-
tions.
