OREGON REPUBLICANS.
Platform Adopted and Selection of
Presidential Electors.

PORTLAND, Or, April 1.-THE Republi-
can State convention met at Masonic Hall
at II o'clock this morning. Ex-United
States Attorney General George II. Will
liams, of Portland, was elected chairman,
and ]. l.. Sheet, of Douglas county, secre.
tary.
The usual committees were appointed
and permanent organization was effected
at 2 p. m.
A committee on resolutions, consisting
of one member from each county, was ap-
pointed and a recess taken until 7:3O p. m,
awaiting the report of the committee on
resolutions.
r. Bnger Hermann was renominated
for Congress by acclamation.
The committee on platform reported at
$50 D. m. 1t favors free ballot and the
right to have that ballot counted; protests
against further Chinese immigration; IA
vors liberal pensions; denounces Cleve-
lands action in returning the rebel flags
condemns the land department at Wash
ington for refusing to survey lands ready
for settlement, and for the employment of
spies and informers to harrass settlers with
the defense of needless suits denounces
Clevelands veto of the river and harbor
bill, and the Secretary of War for obstruct-
ing the improvement of the Columbia river;
declares civil service reform sham and q
fraud. The tariff planks are as follows !:
That the policy of Democratic admins
tration, which would place wool and lum-
ber on the free list, and woOlen goods on
the highly protected list, cotton, ties and
hoop iron on the protected list, and which
policy would continue the collecting OF
S5O,0OOO0O on sugar each year, while at
the same time the majority applauds and
claims to carry: out the Presidents idea,
that tariff tax is robbery of the people,
constitutes a piece of unparalleled politi-
cal dishonesty, having for its sole object
the success of the Democratic party at the
next election, even at the expense of the
practical destruction Of many of our most
important agricultural and manufacturing
interests. We favor the policy of provid-
ing chiefly for the revenues of the general
government and for other purposes essen
tial to the general government system
of duties levied upon imports SO adjusted
as to discriminate in favor of domestic in
dustries and productions, and in favor OF
American labor. We declare in favor of
reducing the annual revenues of the gov
ernment by admitting free of duty such
articles of general use as cannot be largely
produced or manufactured by our own
people. That we deprecate the attempt
of the administration to degrade the honest
toilers of America to level with the
pauper labor of the Old World.
Judge w. P. Lord was nominated for
Supreme Judge on the first ballot.

BEFORE THE RAIN.

The blackcaps pipe among the reeds.
And there'll be rain to follow;
There is a murmur as of wind
In every coign and hollow;
The wrens do chatter of their fears
While swinging on the barley ears.
Come, hurry, while there yet is time,
Pull up thy scarlet bonnet.
Now, sweetheart, as my love Is thine,
There is drop upon it.
SO trip it ere the storm-hag wierd,
Doth pluck the barley by the beard.

The storm witch yells above us;
The branches rapping on the panes
Seen not in truth to love US.
And look where through the clover bush
The nimble- footed rain doth rush

The Reception.

The most brilliant and enjoyable
social event of the season was the re-
ception given last evening by Mrs.
Lucinda Hastings, to the public in honor
of her son, Mr.. Warren /. Hastings and
his Leautiful bride, nee, Miss Hessle
Cox, of Seattle. Something like four
hund red invitations had been issued
and early in the evening crowds OF peo-
pie began arriving, and the capacious
parlors OF the Hastings mansion were
crowded to their utmost capacity until
late at night.
the center of attraction, aud never did a
young couple seem more completely
happy than did Mr.. and Mrs. Warren
Hastings last evening.
The presents were many and very ele-
CANT, in fact, We have rarely ever seen
such display OF rich aud costly gifts.
Mrs. Hastings, the dear, old pioneer, who
has summered and wintered in Port
Townsend, seemed perfectly aud som-
pletely happy. She has been greatly
blessed in her family, and this beauti-
full daughter which just fills the fullest
complement of the household gives her
especial delight. The entire family OF
sons and daughters were present, which
is rare occurrence.
Many OF the costumes worn were very
elegant, but We cannot enter into 6 de-
scription of them now for want OF time.

congratulations and sends its cherrIest

Mutiny.

The Chilean ship Georgiana, lying in
the harbor, was the scene Of u genuine
mutiny ON Saturday Afternoon. The
crew refused tu work, and the captain,
taking advice from the Chilien consul,
put them on bread ard water until they
would consent to go TO work. This OF
course was very annoying to the sailors,
and, watching their opportunity, when
the captain was down in the hold of the
ship, SIX OF them sprang upon him and
overpoWered him, binding him and drag
ing him over the deck. His wife ran to
the cabin aud siezing a revolver fred
shot at the sailors. They then grabbed
ber and bound her. The carpenter how
ever, came and cut the captain loose.
They then run up the signal flag and the
ship was boarded by the q. s. deputy
marshal and Il boat load of officials from
the U. Ship Patterson which CHANGED to
be at anchor in the bay. The mutinous
sailors were arrested and placed in jail
in this city.

Too Jealous.

Mr.. Jackman is the knight-errant Of
the Railroad Co. Does he expect to
arouse public enthusiasm and confidence
by such statements as this:
The most glaring and barefaced tn
truth published by the ARGUS was shat
there are parties waiting for an oppor-
tuniry to take the enterprise off the p. t.
8. aud assume all obligations to the sub
scribers. What their financial
ability is we don't know" just as soon
as the ARGUS or any capitalist wants the
P. T. s. railroad and will agree to build
the road within q reasonable length OF
time and put up sufficient guaratsee to
the subscribers OF their good intentions,
Just 80 soon can they bave the right OF
way.
Is it such q hopeless case as that? We
think the public had better pay Mr..
Jackman to keep still. What think
you?

sEFORE TT IS BORN.
Some Startling Statements of General
Interest.

DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes, on being
asked when the training of child should
begin, replied, IA hundred years before
it is born"
Are we to infer from this that this gen.
Grafton is responsible for the condition
of the race hundred years from now?
Is this wonderful generation the natural
result of the proper diet and medicines
of hundred years ago?
1t is conceded in other lands that most
of the wonderful discoveries of the
world in this century have come from
this country. Our ancestors were reared
in log cabins, and suffered hardships
and trials.
But they lived and enjoyed health to .
ripe old age. Tho women of those days
would endure haDdships without appar-
ent fatigue that would startle those Of
the present age.
Why was itf
One of the proprietors Of the popular
remedy known as Warmers safe cure has
been faithfully investigating the cause,
and has called to his aid scientists rs
well as medical men, impressing upon
them the fact that there cannot be an
effect without cause. This inye'tiga-
tion disclosed the fact that in the golden
|
tered, compounded of herbs and roots,
which were gathered and stored in the
lofts of the log cabins, and when sickness
came on, these remedies from natures
laboratory were used with the best effects.
What were these remedies? What
were they used for? After untiring and
diligent search they have obtained the
formulas so generally used for various
disorders.
Now the question is, how will the olden
time preparations affect the people OF
this age, who have been treated, under
modern medical schools and codes, with
poisonous and injurious drugs. This
test has been carefully pursued, until
they are convinced that the preparations
they now call Warmers Log Cabin reme-
dies are what our much abused systems
required.
Among them is what is known as War
ner's Log Cabin sarsaparilla, and they
frankly announce that they do not con.
slider the sarsaparilla of SO much value
in itself as it is in the combination of
the various ingredients which together
work marvelously upon the system.
They also have preparations for other
diseases, such as "Warner's Log Cabin
cough and consumption remedy" "Log
Cabin hops and buchu remedy" "War-
ner's Log Cabin hair tonic" They haye
great confidence that they have a cure
for the common disease Of catarrh, which
they give the nsme of "Loe Cabin rose
cream" Also ''Log Cabin plaster"
which they are confident will supplant
sIl others, and liver pill, to be used
separately or in connection with the
other remedies.
We hope that the public will not be
| disappointed in these remedies, but will
reap a benefit from the investigations
and that the propEietors will not be EN-,
bsrrased in their introduction by dealers
trying to substitute remedies that have
been 80 familiar to the shelves of our
druggists. This line of remedies will be
used instead Of others, Insist upon yDur
druggist getting them for you If he basn'
them yet in stock, and We feel confident
that these new remedies will receive
appreciation at our readers hands, as the
founders have used every care in theil
preparation.

Since both Republicans and Democrats

the reduction shall be in the interests of

labor or in the interests of free trade and
foreign labor.
The tariff issue is the only issue in

tempts of Democratic politicians to di-
vert attention from it will prove una
vailing, because the worxingmen are
firmly convinced that there can be no
