A Communication.

At Ithe Fusion reenback caucus for the
selection of delegates to the congressional con-
vention, held last evening at the third ward
room, quite little breeze occurred over mo-
ton TO have the name of George W. Parker
stricken from the list presented by the commit
teee to nominate. Mr.. Hayes of ward seven,
who made the motion, gave as reason for so
doing that Col. Parker was neither Green
hacker, Democrat or Republican, and had vir-
tually SO declared him SELF his sole object in
politics being for spoiis of Office. Secretary
Chenery of the city committee seconded the
motion making some remarks of tie same ma
ture as those offered by Mr.. Hayes. A team
composed of an old republican and present.
time democrat interposed some objection to the
motion, after which the vote was taken by ris-
ing which resulted in o tie, the chairman Mr..
Todd, deciding in the negative. A.
We can see no cause for any complaint on
the part of ga" Mr.. Parker, if he is dealt
with justly by our correspondent, is proper
Fusion candidate-not Republican, nor
Democrat, nor Greenbacker, bat like aaSwiss
mercenary, ready to enlist in the service that
offers the highest pay and the most bountiful
rations-in fact miniature Plaisted. There
is no reason why the Fusionists shouldn't
nominate him or any other man in last nights
caucus for delegate or Governor or other place
of trust. They are all tarred with the same
stick.

A correspondent whose communication ap-
pears in another column complains that our
article in our issue of yesterday, noticing the
petition in circulation, calling on the directors
of the Horse Railroad Company for additional
street car accommodation reflected unjustly on
the officers of the road; who, as he says, have
for long time been ready to extend the line
as requested, but have been unable to obtain
the necessary authority from the city in ac-
count of the opposition of certain property
holders, who considered the extension in
furious to their interests. However this may
be, everybody now appear to favor this pro-
ject, and We understand the directors have
unanimously voted to grant the prayer of the
petitioners as soon as the Mayor and Alder
men will grant the required permission to lay
the track.

The exhibition of paintings given under the
auspices of the Society of Art at their rooms
in Motley Block has entered upon the third
week. Already it has drawn the attention Of
many lovers of art as well as art critics from
abroad, and our citizens who have not visited
the exhibition yet, should not fail to call be-
fore the rooms are crowded by strangers visit
ing the city in the midsummer months. Prob
ably so large collection of the various schools
Of art in oils, water-color, and black and
white, has not been seen in Portland before,
and it is doubtful if it will again, for year al
least as it is very difficult to induce the best
artists to send their works SO far and at such
risk We therefore say to all call soon.

Graduating exercises Glass of go.

City Hall was crowded as usual yesterday
afternoon by the parents and friends OF the
graduating class of 'S2 Portland High School.
The floral decorations arranged by the MEM
bers of the class of 1888, were handsome.
Around the galleries was festooned red and
withdrawing with long streamers OF the same.
| The stage was particularly noticeable, and
many remarked that they had never seen SO
pretty decorations at any former graduation
On the wall at the rear of the stage were drap-
cries of bunting arranged about the symbolic
class notices. The motto of the boys was rep
resented by ST. l. X.'' that of the girls by "a.
| I'm. and the joint motto.of the whole class by
| "Y. o. U. r." The front OF the stage was
| beautifully adorned with choice flowers en-
bracing bouquets, lines OF evergreen and floral
emblems. The literary exercises, under the
charge of Mr.. Albro E. Chase, principal of the
school were excellent and the programme pub
lished in yesterdays PRESS, was fully carried
out.
All the essays showed good conception and
were we'll written and delivered. The orches-
ira was marked feature, and the violin solo
by Mr.. Sherry showed good execution and ex-
preston.
At the close of the literary exercises the d.
plomas were conferred by Mr.. Gray of the

Mayor Libby then awarded the Brown med
ais as follows:
Henry E. Oxnard, Mary L. Fillberown.

The following is the class song written by
Miss Clara NJ Webster Imusic by W. L. Howe,
class of 1880:
Ye silver bells, that sound the chimes,
OF time, the Allperfsctor,
Ring out your loudest, sweetest rhymes,
ToiGod the All-protector!-
No more may we together strive,
A single aim before us;
School left behind before we part
We raise farewell chorus.
Old Time, whose stream bears swift and strong
The world upon its flowing,
Out from our school days sweeps along;
Unwilling We are going.
The stream divides, and far apart,
School-friend from friend it sewers;
But memories live in every heart
Of hopes and true endeavors
Though some may toll in stranger lands,
While others brave the ocean;
Though some spend lifo with careless hands,
Some give to fame DEVOTION
The river Time flows to the sea,
However its streams may differ;
Our paths at last shall ended be,
Shall then unite forever.
In this connection it may be we'll to say that
Miss Annie G. Swasey was neither tardy, abb
sent nor dismissed once during the four years OF
the High School course, and Miss Dora Moul-
ton was absent but once and that time during
the first term of the first year.
