| to two Hayes electors and one 1ilden elector
Cronin. The two Hayes electors declined to
meet with CrOnin, WhereupOn the latter, who
! held all three certificates, appointed two Re-

| The Bulletin has the following special from
| Portland: "A dispatch from Salem says the
! secretary of state has given CrOnin, the Dem
| Ocratic elector having the highest number of
votes. a certificate The two Republican
electors refused to act with him, and assem-
| bled and supplied the vacancy. The Repub-
licans voted for Hayes. Cronin appointed
two Democrats to act with him, and cast the
vote of the State for Tilden.
The Posts special from Salem says: AT
noon to-day the secretary Of state delivered
to E. A. CrOnin, the Democratic candidate
for elector contesting the seat of J. w. Watts,
postmaster, a certificate of appointment of
eleetor, which is evidence that Governor
Grover has ousted Watts.
The six electoral candidates then assembled
in the committee room of the senate chamber,
and after half an hour one Of the Republican
vieUtuls, y. L. Odoii, out and went to
the office of the secretary of state to demand
a certified copy Of the certificate, for it seems
that the certificate included the name of l..
A CrOnin, Democrat, and w. H. Odel and
J. C. Cartwright, Republicans, and as the
latter demanded to see and hold the certif
cate, and as Cronin refused to let them have
it, nothing could be done About this time
Cronin left the room where the electors were
assembled and took a stroll around.
Later.-The story further goes that when
the electors were met, 0dell and Cartwright
refused to act with CrOnin; whereupOn Gro
min declared a vacancy and elected J. n. T.
Miller and H. Parker to fill the places of the
electors, and the vote being taken, Cronin
voted for TIlden and Hendricks, and the 9TH
ers for Hayes and Wheeler. Cartwright and
Odell first accepted the resignation of Elector
Watts, and then elected him to fill vacancy
and cast the vote of the State for Hayes and
Wheeler. Great excitement. The Repubh-
cans are very indignant at the governors
action.
San Francisco, December 6.-Later ad
vices from Salem, Oregon, confirm the report
that the governor issued certificates to Odell
and Cartwright, Republicans, and Cronin,
Democrat The latter declined to show his
authority at the meeting of the electors, and
the Republicans refused to recognize him.
Cronin then selected J. T. Miller and John
Parker, Republicans, as electors, and pro-
ceeded to cast the Yote-two for Hayes and
one for Tilden. The Republicans then organ
lied; Watts resigned, but was at once re-
elected, and the vote cast for Hayes and
Wheeler, which, with their sworn statement
and copies of the abstract of the votes cast
in the State, certified to by the secretary of
state, were sealed and sent on. Intense ex-
element prevailed, and an outbreak was ex-
pected by many who went to the Statehouse
prepared for any emergency. The RepubG-
cans are holding IN Indignation meeting tins
evening.
