rh. Pacific Delegations


Pacific delegates spent very pleasant
day under the pilotage of the local
committeeman, who devoted their en-
tire time to the entertainment OF their
guests. Early in the morning, they took
the men out to the convention hall in
the Exposition building and, after ex-
amining the arrangements, returned
to the hotel in time for dinner. Per-
haps tbs only exception to this sweep
ing rule was Senator Hearst, and he
took himself to the race track early in
the day, where he spent his time profit.
ably among his horses and jockeys I'M
til the bell rang for the first race in the
afternoon. The Senator was in receipt
of many attentions, and the jockey
| house and ST.. Louis Clubhouse were
opened to him. His social obligations
screened him from public view the
greatest part OF the day and only range
interviews could be OBJ aimed. Senator
Hearst was without followers in an
enemies country and the badge bear
ing the silver cinnamon bear att its head
was visible in the guard stand at the
track, and in the evening wearing of the
| famous emblem could be found st the
circus, theater. Mexican concert and
press opening to the convention hall.
Tue delegates seemed quite
ubiquitous. for they were on
| svery side. Oregon put in
| their appearance this evening via the
Burlington and took up their quarters
at the Lacleue Hotel. where they were
welcomed by General J. S. Miller, who
arrived yesterday with the California
delegates. They had no spare time to
employ in idle diversions, and immedi-
ately began to arrange for q square
nights rest.
The Oregonians are a unit with the
other Pacific delegations in maintain
ing the central headquarters, which
will be established at the Broadway en-
trance of the Southern Hotel. Already
the aromatic fragrance of sundry
packages consigned TO the united forces
have aroused the curiosity of the visit
ors, and there is no question but lib
eral patronage will be extended the
party after the formal opening.
On the subject OF temporary chair
ma Iship, there is as yet no rival in the
field against Stephen NJ. Thite, but the
chances of the nomination can be dis
| ousssJ with more knowledge on Sun
day evening. when all the leading
| delegations will have reported. No
organization will be effected esrlier than
SATURDAY. evening, when Oregon will
clear the decks for action by nominating
the mem hers of the com mlttees and the
national com n1itteema1. There can re
little opposition and every N mber
will have an equal chaGcs while
the national committeeman will
| be returned again as his SER
vices are satisfactory to his constitu-
ents. Colonel Kelly and Henry Clip
pell, of Oregon, have promised to report
at headquarters 10 morrow.
President Cleveland's tariff reform
ideas will find staunch supporters in
the Oregon delegates, who are pledged
| to free ships and untaXed manufactur-
ers, first, last and all the time. eve
are in favor of tariff REFORM" said Mr..
| A. Naltner, chairman of the Oregon
delegation, land we mean reform in its
strictest sense, preferring 10 lead rather
| than follow the administration. Weare
| in advance OF any movement of the
present day, as we want to get our
wheat out OF the country and don't
want to pay tribute to foreign ships"
California has been agitated by re-
port circulated by an evening paper, in
which it was implied that Thurman
would not accept the Vice-Presidency
if nominated and elected. A careful
psrusal OF the interview left the reader
confid ent that the Ex-Governor had
not committed himself to any positive
statement, and that his friends were
no. handicapped in any measure while
advocating his cause. The rnmored
retiremet, however, had no effect on
the minds of the old Romans adher-
ents, and they stoutly maintained their
position, asserting that the old banner
would be thrown to the breeze Monday,
as a signal of defiance. The second
choice wonld b. calamity in
the estimation OF the Argonauts
All unite for Thurman, while
a division would show the delegation
stan ding in the ratio of about II for
GRAY and for Black. however there is
NO want Of confidence in Thurman and
a possible withdrawal is deprecated on
every side.
Mr.. Z. M. Fitzgerald, secretary of the
California delegation, and Senator W.
English, chairman of that body, said
alphabetically there was no alternative
with CALIFORNIA;; ii was Thurman or
nothing and they believed it would by
Thurman.
Senator English announces his con-
tingent ready to sustain the Presidents
message prest nted at the opsning of
Congress, demanding only that the
duty be restored an prunes and plums.
The only obstacle to organization
is the absence of Judge G. A.
Ryland, of San Jose. who will
not be here before Sunday. Judge Ry-
land will preside at the grand opening
oH Monday.
Oregon has a candidate in reserve, in
the event that dark horse is sprung,
for.the second place on the ticket-GoV-
ernor Pennoger. of that Territory, will
be presented, but if William I. Morrison
appears in the list, he will call forth the
unanimous support of the delegation.
The Pacific Coasters are making a
vigorous pull for Lie1tenant-G
White for temporary chairman ana are
winning many recruits for their man.
From the present appearances. there
will be lively fight for the chairman

committee last February, it was agreed
