The Oregon election has, as was
expected, resulted in Republican
success. The majority of the Re-
publican candidate for Congress is
placed as high as 5000, with de-
cided Republican majority in both
branches of the Legislature. This
secures a Republican Senator in
the place of the Hon. G. n. Dolph,
Republican, whose term expires
March 8, 1889. Oregon is Repub,
lican State on full vote when that
party is united, and hence but little
political Importance attaches the re.
suit.

The Democratic NATIONAL Conven-
ton met in st. Louis last Tuesday,
and, after effecting q temporary or
ganization, took recess until
Wednesday. The speech of the tenn
porary chairman, S. NJ. White,- re-
viewed the results of four years of
Democratic administration, and all
references to the President elected
great enthusiasm. Hon. Patrick Col
Inns was selected for permanent chair
man of the Convention. Representa-
tives of the League of Democratic
Clubs, which are to hold a convention
in Baltimore on July 4, appeared be-
fore the national committee and en-
listed the interest of the committee
in their work.
The Convention on Wednesday nom
mated Grover Cleveland for Presi-
dent of the United States by acclama-
ton, and without the formality of a
ballot. The nominating speech, made
by Daniel Dougherty, of New York
aroused such storm of enthusiasm
as is rarely witnessed even in ma
tional convention. Hon. P. A. Col
Inns, the permanent chairman of the
convention, made an impressive adj
dress. in which he reviewed the re-
suits accomplished by four years Of
democratic administration. The COM
mittee on resolutions not being ready
