Eut One Conclusion.

Democrats will review calmly the work
of their national convention, and ask
whether their party is nearer or furthef
from the hearts of American voters. 1t
will be hard to maintain calmness, for
every action of the convention, from first
to last, was so manly, so wise, so demo-
cratic and so American that enthusiasm
will contend for the mastery over cool
scrutiny.
Cleveland is renominated, and with him
is the greatest of the older school of DEM
ocrats. Cleveland stands for the purest,
most sensible, most economical admins
tration the country has had within the
ssmemory of the majority Of voters. Thur
sforsthe right of the Chinese question, for
Hatred Of fraad by whomsoever COM
mitted, for the mighty battle of DEM
ocracy Waged for years against the most
powerful clique of political leaders in our
history. Both are known to all the
land as brave to the end and endowed
with the viriity which breaks no prom
Uses, avoids no dangers, deceives no
friends and disappoints no supporters.
There are no two men among us, whether
Democrats or Republicans, Independents
or Prohibitionists, whose cleanness and
strength of character are more uniVers-
ally relied upon. They are Democrats,
hut so fair in dealing that Independents
Endorse them. They are independent
enough to discountenance the mistakes Of
democrats, but are the favorites of their
party. They are strong everywhere and
would honor defeat. Victory they will
ladorn by applying more effectively the
eternal principles of the party they repre-
sent.
The platform is not once equivocal.
There is in it no flavor of artfulness. It
promises nothing the party has not been
striving in the sight of all men to accom-
plish. Indorsing the presidents message
and the efforts of Democrats in congress,
dng star in an unclouded sky. The fnan-
cial policy is as definite. Union and the
constitution are upheld in the strongest
words. An equitable pension system is
Sustained, and firm purpose to preserve
what is left of the public domain for &C.
tual settlers is reaffirmed.
The courage of conviction shown in
every act of the convention was paralleled
by harmony which assures a perfect
party organization. Senator German and
Henry Watterson stood together as cham
pions of the platform. The friends Of
EGray, Dickinson and Black Joined in the
enthusiasm for the bandanna and pledged
ian increased vote in their states for Cleve-
land and Thurman.
Search the proceedings of the conven.
ton most coolly and examine the proba-
Utilities most keenly; the conclusion is that
cleveland and Thurman will be elected.
Nothing but an almost impossible calam-
lily could throw even doubt on the result
in November. The more impartially
Thorough the examination, the stronger
will be Democratic faith in Republican
defeat so decisive that the existence Of
that party can be prolonged only by the
presentation of entirely new Issues
Kansas City Times.

The Strongest Vet :

On every hand it is asserted BY Demo.
Gratis and conceded by Republicans that the
st. Louis ticket is the strongest one that
could have been named. Such belief
makes an admirable starting point for the
campaign that must follow. There are
mo jealousies or rivalries to be smoothed
lover. If the Democrats cannot win with
Cleveland and Thurman, they cannot win
lat all. If the Republicans at Chicago
should end their contentious by similar
CONCORD and agreement, it would be a
matter of wonder as well as of congratu-
! Observation-Disclosures Record.

Hon. Joseph Jorgensan, of Walla
Walla, died at his temporary residence
in Portland on Saturday evening. Mr..
Jorrgensen was about fifty years of age
native of Philadelphia, and was a
surgeon in the Union army during
the war. After the war he settled in
Petersburg, Va, and opened an apothe-
cary store. He was elected to con-
gress from the Petersburg district as IA
republican for two terms and would
have been returned for third term
but for his opposition to General Ma
hone. In 1882 President Arthur APP
pointed him Register of the land office
at Walla Walla, since which time he
has lived i'll Washington Territory I'M
til few months ago when he was
placed temporarily in charge of the
Northern Pacific land company's
office in Portland. In April last he
married Miss May Page, of Walla
Walla. His remains will be taken to
Walla Walla. DIR. Jorgensen was
graduate of the famous Grard college
of Philadelphia.
About 9 o'clock Friday, Jan. 18th,
while Thomas Ayers, aged about so,
Eli Joseph, aged about 46, and Dick
Teft, aged II, were out hunting on the
head of Ostrander creek, about eight
miles east of Kelso, Cowlitz county,
Ayers mistook Joseph for deer at
distance of sixty yards, and suddenly
fired at him with 1880 Winchester,
the ball passing through the lower
part of his body. Seeing what he had
done he called to Teft who was only
short distance away, and the two took
the wounded man up the bank few
feet into a cluster of little frs where
they built a fire, there being about
ten inches Of snow on the ground.
Ayers then left left to take care of
Joseph and proceeded to his cabin
three quarters of mile distant to get
an AK and blankets which he sent back
! by German, and then proceeded to
the settlement to report the accident.
Four men started out for the scene of
the shooting. Arriving about 10
O'Clock P. NJ, they found Eli Joseph a
corpse, he having died between Z and
s o'clock. The next morning the six
men started in with the body and the
journey took nearly two days. Ayers
did not 60 back to the unfortunate
man nor has he since been seen. His
conduct is not generally approved. An
inquest will be held tomorrow if Ayers
can be found. Dick Teft showed re-
markable courage :or boy OF II in
staying by the unfortunate man in his
last hours, taking off his own coat and
putting it over the dying man to keep
him from chilling.

might have been expected from the
city famed for good cheer and hospi-
tally. The attendance was large and
appreciative, the music excellent, the
supper all that could be desired, and
the result happiness and content.
The Jenkenses of the daily press have

ing to us general results, embraced in
the above epitome of one of the most
pleasing entertainments ever given by
our people.

An amusing incident occurred the
other day, when some or our Republi-
can Solons were visiting the Sisters
Hospital. The visitors were shown all
over the building by the obliging lit
tie sister usually deputed for this SER
vice, when upon leaving one of the
gentleman placed his hand in his
pocket, drew forth quarter, and
handed it to the sister, with the words
That's for you, and not the church,
Oh, thank you," replied the demure
lady, while mischief sparkled in her
eye, I'm glad its for me; if it was
for the church it would not be large
enough to go around"
The Governors Reception, at the
Percival mansion, Westside, Wedncs-

ance of our most prominent citizens
thronged the spacious parlors, each OF
whom received a cordial welcome from
the Governor, and his accomplished
sister, Mrs. Ames, of St. Louis, who
did the honors assisted by Mcsdames
Breckenridge and McMicken. A gen.
erous repast was spread, to which all
did ample justice, after which dancing
and games afforded amusement to all
who felt inclined to tarry. There has
been but one expression of those who
were present, that being that it was
one OF the most pleasing entertain
ments ever given by the Executive OF
our Territory.

OF one of the steamers plying between
here and British Columbia, in an in
terview published to-day regarding
the statement of the Secretary of the
Treasury that officers of the customs
and others attached to the Treasury
Department are unable to stop opium
smuggling into the United States,
says: at would be perfectly feasible
for the United States revenue cutter
Oliver Wolcot to intercept sailing boats
that convey the drug from Victoria.
There is scarcely Eight passes that
boats do not leave Victoria harbor for
Port Townsend or Seattle. In these
small craft are Chinese seeking a
home in the United States, or else
quantities Of prepared opium. Steam
ers that ply from Victoria across the
Sound daily garry lots of opium, and
although a United States customs Of
ficer is on board, smuggling is openly
carried on. With the Olirer Woicott
and another fast revenue steamer
cruising outside the boundary line.
the entire illegal traffic in opium be-
tween Victoria and the United States
could be stopped.
