The tune was long and loud, while
the Convention fused uud iilgeted,
PRAYING every strain would be its last.
The band evidently took these sy,np-
toms for evidences of appreciation, and
commenced the tune again, when Gen.
McMicken moved that tie Mai,hs of
the Convention be extended to the
band. and he being appointed COM
mittee for the emergency, doubtless
whispered a polite request for the band
to make still until a more appro-
pirate stage in the proceedings. Accom-
mittee on resolutions was appointed, of
which Gov. Solomon was Chairman, to
prepare platform. The nomination.
OF q candidate for Delegate then being
in order, Rev. Daniel Blgley named
Mr.. Yawcups and Mr.. Nettlefield Hon.
f. S. Kearney. Gov. Ferry immedi-
ately arose and uitdrem the name of
Kearney, at which proceeding Mr.. Net
tlefeld looked blank and said nothing,
evidently thinking the edict emnnated
from too prominent source for him to
oppose it. According to programme,
Mr.. Kcarney then moved that the nom
nation of Yawcups be made unanimous,
which was carried, and the signal being
given the band again had things their
own way. The Convention then adj
iourned to o'clock to allow the Com
mittee on Platform time to mediate.
When it reassembled telegram was
read from the nominee, thanking the
Convention and accepting the nomina-
ton. The resolutions submitted were
substantially those "cut and dried in
Olympia, and carried in Gov Salomon's
hat. The first embraces the usual bonn
bast, Astounding in sonorous adjectives,
in. relation to the Republican party;
the second calls for political reform and
honesty, and to secure them suggests
the election of good men-the parrot
like utterance of every demasosue who
desires to plumber the people; the third
advocates return to gold basis and
opposes any further expansion of the
currency isinterested advice to the
nation, which will doubtless be needed;
the fourth and fifth are bids for the
support of the farmers; and the sixth
advocates the connection of Eastern
and Western Washington by railroad.
All the Republication there is in the
platform is in the first resolution, and it
cannot claim originality in sentiment or
expression.
The following Central Committee
was chosen, but the Convention stipu-
lated, by request of Gov. Ferry, that
their duties would not commence until
after the present canvass is over: King,
d. Bagley; Pierce, I. Ballard; Clarke,
Skamania, Klickitat and Yakima, S. D.
Maxon; Walla-walla, S. NJ. Wait; Whit
man and Stevens, E. S. Kearney; Sno-
homish, Whatcom and Kitsap, w. P.
Jones; Cowlitz, Wahkiakum and Pa
cifc, r. G. Smith; Clallam, Jefferson
and San Juan, 7. T. Minor; Thurston
and Lewis, VIM. McNIicken.
The Convention then proceeded to
confirm the nominations for District
Attorney for the several districts which
had been made by the delegates from
their respective counties. j. T. An
ders was nominated for the First, N.
H. Bloomfield for the Second and Geo.
Nee omaha for the Third District. The
Convention then adjourned and imme-
diately returned to Portland, when an
other ratification took place, in which,
however, only portion of the dele
CATION participated. Many sad heart
was concealed by forced cheerfulness
of demeanor, while others breathed
curses "not loud but deep" against
others who had violated their trusts in
the nominations just made. Mr.. Hos
ford, who was beaten by Mr.. Bloomfield
for Prosecuting Attorney in the Second
Judicial District, by ruling out the
proxy votes of Lewis county, which were
good enough when cast for Jacobs, au-
thorized lis to announce him as an indie
pendent candidate for that position.
Another defeated aspirant hoped that
the Democracy would put up good
and strong man to run against his OPP
ponent; while another declared with
oaths that he was even with one of the
principal actors in having the new Gen.
trail Committee shorn of their honors.
