tel. Already the aromatic fragrance OF
sundry packages consigned to the united
forces has aroused the curiosity of visit
ors, and there is no question but liber-
al patronage will be extended the party
after the formal opening.
THE TEMPORARY GUARDIANSHIP.
On the subject Of the temporary chair
manship there is as yet no rival in the
field against Stephen M. White, but the
chances Of his nomination can be dis
cussed with more knowledge next Sun
! day evening, when all the leading dele
| cations have reported.
No organization will be effected earlier
than Saturday evening, when Oregon will
clear her decks for action by the nomi-
nation of members of committee and q
National committeeman.
Colonel Kelly and Henry Clippell, Of
Oregon, have promised to report at head
| quarters tomorrow.
President Cleveland's tariff reform
ideas will find staunch supporters with
the Oregon delegates, who are pledged to
free ships and untaxed manufacturer,
first, last and all the time.
"We are in favor Of tariff reform, !"
said Mr.. A. Noltner, Chairman of the
Oregon delegation, and we mean re-
form in its strictest sense, preferring to
lead rather than follow the admisistra-
ton. We are in advance Of any move-
ment 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 q re-
port circulated by an evening paper, in
which it was implied that Thurman
would not accept the Presidency If
nominated and elected. A careful perusal
Of the interview left the reader confident
that the ex-senator had not committed
himself to any positive statement, and
that his friends were not handicapped in
any measure while advocating his cause.
His rumored retirement, however, had
no effect on the minds Of
THE OLD RoMAN's ADHERENTs.
They stoutly maintain their position,
asserting that the old banner would be
thrown to the breeze on Monday as a
signal Of defiance. A second choice
would be calamity in the estimation of
the Argonauts. All unite for Thurman,
while a division would show the delega-
ton standing in the ratio Of about IL for
Gray and for Black. However, there
is no want of confidence in Thurman,
and his possible withdrawal is deprecated
on every side. R. M. Fitzgerald, Secre-
tary Of the California delegation, and
Hon. w. D. English, Chairman of that
body, said emphatically there was no
alternative with California-it was Thur
man Or nothing, and they believed it
would be Thurman.
Chairman English announces his con-
tingent ready to sustain the Presidents
message presented at the opening of Con-
gress, demanding only that the duty be
restored on prunes and plums.
The only obstacle to organization is the
absence of Judge Q. A. Ryland, of San
Jose, who will not be here before Sunday
night. Judge Ryland will preside at the
grand opening on Monday.
Oregon has a candidate in reserve in
the event that dark horse lie sprung for
the second place on the National ticket.
Governor Pennoyer, of that Territory,
will be presented, but If W. r. Morrison
appears in the list he will call forth the
unanimous support of the delegation.
PRELIMINARY WORK FOR WHITE.
The first object of the Californians,
however, is to make one of their men
temporary Chairman of the Convention.
They present Stephen M. White, of Los
Angeles, as the representative Pacific
Coast Democrat for the honor The Cal
ifornians claim that their State has never
been honored by the National Democracy
and that Interrogation atithis time
would bring good results nextNovember.
The delegates from California, Oregon,
Nevada and all the TerritOrien ara ar.
pected to act as unit, and good deal
Of active preliminary work is being done
IN the interest OF Lieutenant Governor
WHITE.
