nation was never received with more
enthusiasm on this coast than that of
the late convention. The news was
received with general rejoicing, and
probably not town, village or hamlet
on the Pacific coast but what mani
tested its appreciation of the work
done by the convention with appropri-
ate demonstrations. In many places
business was suspended, brass bands,
steam whistles, cannon, anvils, bells.
everything which could make noise
was put into operation; professions
with bands of music, banners with the
inscription "Blaine ard Victory"
were floating in the breeze, and the
day was one of universal rejoicing
The nomination of Blaine and Logan
means the placing at the head of the
government the best minds of the
nation; progress and frmness; the
acknowledgment of craftsmanship, and
genuine worth. Both are strong and
capable, and either would honor the
seat made honorable by Washington
and Lincoln, and the nation will in
November next, honor them with the
highest honors within the gift of the
people.

General Swain to be Court Martialed.

WASHINGTON, June l0.-The record in
the court of inquiry in the case of General
Swain, Judge advocate general of the army
reports the facts as developed by .he evil
dence and concludes as follows: ''The
court is of the opinion that while it is not
prepared to say that any specific act devel-
oped by the evidence is actually fraudulent,
yet the evidence does show series Of trans
actions undesirable in any officer in the
army, and which especially demand the
severest condemnation when engaged in by
an officer holding the high position and Pc
culiar relations to the administration of
justice in the army held by Brigadier Cen

before the president to-day. and it was de-
cided to order court martial for the trial
of General Swain. Details for the court

AS will be seen by the above official
count, Benton county elects the entire
republican ticket with the exception OF
School Superintendent and Assessor,
at an increased ma ajority of the election
two years ago. Benton county may
well feel proud of the victory she has
accomplished in the struggle fol
supremacy. 1t was matter of sur
prise, even to some republicans, at the
handsome majorities received by the
entire legislative ticket, which was due
in a great measure to the broader
principles of legislation advocated by
the republican party. We truly have
cause for rejoicing since we come forth
from hard fought battle so hand
somely won.

Blaine. Leading democrats are as
sured by California members of Con-
gress that because Blaine is part owner
in a West Virginia railroad and
stockholder in other corporations he
will conflict with the. paramount issue
in California, and can be defeated
there by some anti-monopoly democrat.
Various tickets have been suggested
to encompass this result, on which two
Californians figure prominently. One
is Mcdonald and Rosecrans, and an
other Bayard and Stoneman. These
tickets, it is stated, would be just as
good from the Chinese standpoint as
Blaine and Logan, and much better
from the corporation standpoint.
Members Of the California delegation,
however, are inclined to demur to
Rosecrans as a vice presidential can
didate, but would support General
stoneman heartily. Senator Bayard,
with Tilden out of the way, appears
to be the owner of a rather emphatic
boom, and if talk in his favor con-
tinues it is nohimprobable that Cali
fornia will be honored with the vice
president. Democrats are regarding
Blaine's nomination, since the indie
pendent movement began to die out,
with something akin to disnay, and
the consciousness that he can be elect
ed without New York may cause them
to reach after the Pacific coast. Rose
Grams, it is thought, would neutralize.
Logans war record, and Stoneman
would not only do that, but in. his
hostility to corporations stand of
Blaine and his railroad stock.
It is significant fact as regards the
Chicago nominations that there is
hardly democrat of prominence il
Congress who does. not privately ad
nit the republican ticket to be the
strongest that could have been named
Feather weights, talking for buncombe

BLAINE ON THE CHINESE QUESTION.

IF it be asked why Blain is the
choice of the Pacific coast for presi-
dent of the United States, it is be-
cause his record is satisfactory ON a
question which has become vital one,
and because it is certain that the
states of Oregon, California and
Nevada cannot be carried by any can
didate who in speech or vote has
shown hostility, or even Indifference,
to the measure to limit Mongolian i'm
migration to this country. Blaine was
not in Congress when the Chinese bill
was under consideration, but his views
were expressed In the senate in a
speech made in February, 1879:
"Ought we to exclude them the
ChineseR The question lies in my
mind thus: Either the Anglo-Saxon
race.will possess the Pacific slope OF
the Mongolians will possess it. You
give them the start to-day, with the
keen thrust of necessity behind them
and with the ease of transportation be
fore them and with the inducements tc
come, while we are filling UP the other
portions of the continent, and it is in
evitable, if not demonstrable, that they
will occupy that great space of country
between the Sierras and the Pacific
coast. In a republic especially, in any
Government that maintains itself, the
unity of order and of administration is
in the family. The Immigrants who
come to this country from all portions
of the British islands, from Germany,
from Sweden, from Norway, from
Denmark, from France, from Spain,
from Italy, come here with the family
as much engraven on their minds, and
in their customs, and in their habits
as we have it. The Asiatic, who
brings neither wife nor child with him,
cannot go on with our population and
make homogeneous element. The
idea of comparing European immigra-
ton with an Asiatic immigration that
has no regard to family; that does not
recognize the relation of husband and
wife; that does not observe she tie of
parent and child; that does not have in
the slightest degree the ennobling and
civilizing influences of the hearth-suone
and freside! Why when gentlemen
talk loosely about immigration from
European States as contrasted with
that, they are certainly forgetting his
tory and forgetting themselves

DEMOCRATIC DILEMMA.

Late dispatches from Washington
state that the democratic members of
congress are now busily engaged in
canvassing the geographical strength
of the republican ticket. It is rapidly
coming to be an established belief that
the democrats cannot carry New Jersey
and Connecticut on a low-tarif plat
form, and counting those states, even
without New York, Blaine can be
elected. This has caused the party
adverse to turn their eye to the Pacific
coast in the hope that some plan may
be suggested to wrest California from

astic receptions at Lynn .and Portsmouth,

Big Fire at st. Paul.
ST. PAUL, June 1.-THE Union depot is
burning. The fire caught in the kitchen
of the restaurant connected with the depot
which is located OIL the third floor. The
fire spread so rapidly that twenty waiter
girls and employees connected with the res
taurant escaped with only their night
clothes. The loss upon the depot will be in
the neighborhood II $780, There are
fears of the fire spreading to the immense
wholesale grocery houses which ill the
block.
The fire is now under control, There is
no danger to other buildings. The fire was
confined to the depot building, and sheds
will be used as depot for the present. The
loss will reach 100000.

from the committee on public lands, made a
favorable report to-day on the bill author-

five per cent. of the net proceeds of sales of
all public lands to aid in support of the
common schools. Similar bills have passed
congress ON behalf of Ohio, Louisiana, Ore
eon. Colorado aud other states. There is
no bro spect of the passage of the bill at this
session, however.

The Irish Vote,

New YORK, June l0.-The Tribune prints
letter from Massachusetts delegate to
the late convention, whose standing in the
republican party since its organization, the
Tribune says, has been of the highest, and
who says: 'sDown this way the nomina-
tions well received. Then the Irish
are favorable to Blaine, on account of his
attitude toward Great Britain. The Tri-
dune adds. The same may be true in New
Y York and the Irish republican leaders say
they know it. If New York is pivotal
state this may be of great consequence.
The writer is undoubtedly correct in his
inferences that a large Irish vote will be
cast for Blaine in this state.
Blaine's Chances in Massa chusetts.
Lyman of Massachusetts has expressed an
opinion that the Bay state will vote against
Blaine, but he is a sloppy kind of man and
sometimes inclined to reckless statements.
His colleague in the house, Ex-Governor
Long, is one of the coolest and most sensi-
BILE men on the republican side, and man
WIloSe oplHloH ol any subject Is valuable.
Long arrived from Chicago this morning.
On appearing at the capitol, he was sur
rounded by anxious friends, desirous of as
certaining, first, if he intended to join
Blaine's friends, and second, if not, what he
| thought of the bolting attitude of the indie
pendents. Mr.. Long said it was impossible
to predict anything at this time. Much
would depend, he thought, upon what the
democrats did in July. Massachusetts,
would certainly 60 republican under any
circumstances. Ii the democrats nominate
Cleveland or Bayard il would increase their
chances The disaffection, however, was
local to Massachusetts, and southern New
York and the ticket of Blaine and Logan
was strong elsewhere. He thought the
independents would not put another ticket
in the field. AS Longs opinion is worth
double that of all other Massachusetts con-
gressmen combined, this rather dampened
! the ardor of the democrats, who have begun
to refer to the Independents as their allies.
