sQuELCMED.

When we wrste our article last week
we had seen only the reported proceed.
ings of the Republican Con vention, "a
1t appeared In the oregonian, and sup
posed that report.to DO correct. But il
now appears that In order to screen the
Republican party from the anger and do.
nunciation of the people, the oregoaia,,
suppressed very important part OF the
proceedings of the Convention and the
very part which shows the position Of
tho Republican leaders In Oregon on the
great and vital question of regulating
the charges on the railroads. On The
second day of the Republican Conven-
ton, a delegate from Wasco county in
troduced the following resolution:
Resolved, That the Republican par
ty of Oregon demand of the State Leg
islature the enactment Of such laws rel
ative TO the carrying Of freight on the
railways within the State, as shall
protect the people, Of the State against
extortionate freight rates and unjust
discrimination amongst localities or in
dividuals, and that the nominee Of this
Convention for Congress is pledged To
use every effort, when in Congress, to
secure legislation by the same, for the
purpose applicable TO interstate trsf-
&c.
No sooner had this resolution been
read than one delegate jumped up and
denounced il as democratic measure,
and from all sides Of tho hall opposition
was made 70 Il, and the National Bank
President Of the Convention ruled il out
OF order and il was thus almost iustauta
neously slaughtered. And in place Of il,
