Tho National Democratic Committee
met in Washington last Monday to ap-
point time aud place for holding the
National Demoeratic Convention. The
meeting was well attended, all members
being present but seven, and they were
represented by proxies.
Tho time set for holding the convon-
tion was June o9d, and after that ques-
tion was disposed of different persons
presented the claims of their respective
cities as the place for holding the con-
vention.
NJ. w. Fuller presented Chieago's
claim. She had hall of fine quality,
capable of seating 10000 and standing
room for 10000 more. Tho citizens
would defray the transportation and
board expenses of each member of the
committee and his family. Twenty
three leading hotels would not increase
their rates. The air was pure and the
temperature equable.
Col. Dorsey presented Baltimore and
ex.Mayor Brown st. Louis. Hethought,
Missouri being doubtful State, that
st. Louis should have the convention.
st. Louis was centrally situated, with
abundant facilities of all kinds. There
would be no advance of hotel rates, and
the committee would defray all expenses
deemed proper.
Sayler eloquently invited the com
mittee to Cincinnati, which had advan-
tages over other eities-ATusic Hall,
with capacity of 1900 seats ami an
entertaining capacity Of 10000 Gin.
cinnati would bear all the expenses of
the convention. As Cincinnati had
named the man in 1876. it would name
him in 1880.
Eugene City, Oregon. was advocated
by Whiteaker in very humorous
speech. lie said there were no artili-
cial facilities to lDe had in Eugene City,
but members could find excellent camp
ing grounds. and advised them to bring
a good supply of blankets.
Wm. L. Scott invited the committee
to Philadelphia. Centennial Hall was a
proper building it would hold $4,000
people. Other attractions were great,
and there was no city on Gods footstool
which so much needed the convention
to enlighten and civilize it.
Stetson and Hutchins advocated
Washington.
An informal ballot resulted: Cinain.
natti Il, Chicago 10, st. Louis 1, Bal
timore ., Washington 1, Philadelphia,
jackson, Miss, Eugene City, Oregon,
and blank, one each. A formal ballot
resulted: Cincinnati %, Chicago s, St.
Louis 4, Washington and blank each.
The selection of Cincinnati was made
unanimous.
The committee decided that each
State should be allowed representation
in the convention equal to double the
number of its Senator's and Rspresenta-
tives in Congress.

THE NEGRO ExoD. 5.

Several of the Republican papers of
this State try in vain to make sport of
the facts drawn out by the exodus com
mittee in Washington, but they simply
show their weakness in the attempt.
The testimony shows plainly that the
exodus was brought about by Republi-
can politicians who wished to make In
diana's electoral vote good for their
presidential nominee. What disgrace
it is for a party to attempt to override
the will of State in that way. Only
last Monday P r. BcCorkeY, life
long resident of Terre Haute, Indiana,
and a Republican, testified before the
committee that they had surplus of
laborers and mechanics in his section of
the State. He swore that colored Mail
Agent Walker, in Conversation with
him at Terre Haute, said that ct Nash
vile last autumn he (Walker) bad
made arrangements to run 10000 col
ored voters into Indiana to carry the
State for the Republicans.

The San Francisco Bulletin of last
Saturday published the result of in
quiries addressed to reliable correspond
ents in all parts of the State relative TO
the crop prospects for the coming sea
son. 1t is shown that there is a much
larger area Of land under cereal cultiya-
ton this year than ever before. That
on the whole the rainfall, though not
heavy, has, owing to its distribution,
been exceeding beneficial, insuring, with
ordinary spring showers, even in drier
counties, good crops. That frost has
not materially damaged young grain, at
most only retarding its growth, thus
giving it an opportunity to strike its
roots deeper into the ground, whila the
evaporation Of moisture from the soil
has been prevented.

It is not without some apprehension
of over-production that We read of the
enormous amount of acres laid down to
wheat in the Western States and on
thi. Coast. The Agricultural Depart
ment of the United States, in its last
annual report, urgently recommends a
variety of crops, which is clearly the
true policy. The late immense harvest
in the United States happened to coin
eide with the failure Of European crops,
but those who base their operations on
a recurrence of such exceptional cir
cumstances will incur the risk Of bitter
disappointment.

So FAR 47,705, 200 standard silver
dollars have been struck at the mints
since their coinage at tho rate of not
less than S2,0O0,000 month was an,
thorized by Congress for every
man, woman and child in the country.
The largest part of this silver still re-
mains in the Treasury. It would do
our heart good to see a part of it IN cir
culation out here in Oregon.

In looking through onr Eastern ex-
changes We see the names Of many per
sons brought forward as probable can
didAtes for the presidency before the
National Democratic Convention, and
in the list we are proud to note the
name Of one Pacific Coast IDan-IIon.
Stephen J. Field, Of California, Asso-
ciate Justice Of the Supreme Court Of
the United States. While our prefer
enee might be for another person, still
it must be acknowledged by all that
Mr. Field would poll larger vote on
this Coast than any other man the
Democracy could place in nomination.
Il is decidedly our opinion that he
would carry all the Pacific Coast States.
but how he would succeed in the East
we are not prepared to state. If the
people in that part OF the country
would give him warm support, he is
no doubt the strongest candidate that
our party could select as their standard
bearer.

From Llnkville: Stock have be-
gun TO die In earnest. Bsbee, living
on Tule lake, thirty miles from here,

Clear lake, fifty miles from here. has
lost some eight or ten thousand dol
lars worth of fine cattle. All cattle
men will lose from so TO 75 per cent.
Many who have hay cannot save
their stock, as they are not fixed for
feeding. Those who do not need
feed get most, because they can con-
tend for It. Some hay stacks are en-
tlreIy covered with snow drifts.
Horses seem TO fare very well. Many
good judges of such matters say that
stock that Is not fed at oil looks bet
ter than that which is fed, The
trouble is that feeding has beengoing
on since january 1st, and the cattle
rely entirely upon this and viii not
browse.

We are now through with our
strawberry crop, and am sorry to say
the growers have not realized the
money they should. Our crop was
late, owing to the heavy frost the first
of April, which killed all the early
blooms except on about four fields
which were protected. One party
shipped 100 cases-2400 quarts, which
melted him two hundred and fifty dol
lars. This field was protected by tim
Der on the west and north and escaped
the frost, but the same party shipped
two hundred and fifty cases, "a quarts
each, which dill not net as much mon
ey. We have shipped up to date to
Cincinnati, 1405 cases; Louisville,
434; Indianapolis, 467; Chicago, 1884;
st. Louis, As; Evansville, Z; Memphis,
1913. There were probably $50 cases
raised in this section shipped to st.
Louis from Humboldt. The train en-
the NJ. d o. road passes Humboldt at
4 pm, which enables US to pick and
get to Humboldt in time for this train.
Our fields are full of berries as fine as
ever saw, and we are having fine
time eating. This, upon the whole,
is the lightest crop we have had for
years. We have not given them the
proper cultivation, &C., OF which |
will speak in some future notes. Our
peach, plum and raspberry crop is
good, and will come Oh in a few days
Already a few cases of the common
red plum have been shipped, The
highest price received this season was
for 8 cases shipped to Chicago by DIR.

which sold for ten dollars per case,
which is a little over seven dollars per

out now. Drop down, Mess. Editors,

minutes of tho meeting of the Directors
of the Road, as well as the Report of the

Letters Of Acceptance.

Elsewhere in the Press and Banner will
be found The letters of General Hancock
and Hon. w. H. English, accepting the
Cincinnati nominations for President and
Jice-President. AS n rule these letters
must be acceptable alike to Northern and
Southern voters. The Presidential NOM
inee evidently does not expect many vo-
tors from 'the Republican side of the
house, when he says, if elected he shall
''see that the laws are faithfully and
equally executed in all parts Of the coun-
''try alike" His declaration in the face
Of the past policy of the Republican ad-
ministration Of governmental affairs at
Washington which has overlooked and
ruled the affairs in the States of the
South by the wiles of the emissary and
the force Of the bayonet, will be earnestly
supported by all true Democrats-wheth-
or living in tho North or the South.
The Presidential nominee does not
speak out on the money ~question-but
the nominee for Vice-President speaks
with no uncertain sound. And he speaks
the words of soberness and truth. The
vice-President evidently offers q bid for
the votes of the Pacific slope when lie
speaks of the destructive competition of
Chinese" labor. Unless there was some
thing of a tangible nature to gain by such
an expression, it would have been in our
opinion better for Is, if it had not been
said. The wealth of the country consists
in money and muscle, and whoever robs
us Of either, will be set down by some
people as a public enemy. Neither can
didate adds anything new on the subject
of "strong governments" or sectional
ie%alousies." The letters are not long and
will be found to be quite readable. 1t is
important that their supporters know the
principles of their candidates.
