oLyxFfa. Ang- 1.-The Wallis wslIa
Subsidy scheae was defeated in i,le
convention this afternoon by q de..i-
sive vote, after long snd labourioas
discussion beginning last evening and
taxing up the greater part of todsy.
1t was pretty clearly settless yesterday
that The minority report OF the COM
mittee on Indebtedness would be sub
stituied for the majority report. and a
close canvass OF the delegates deyei-
oped that there were TWENTY-FIVE wno
favored the subsidy and forty eight
wno were against II. This estimate
was Justified By today's vote in toe
eoninitSee on the question. when the
division was ~ to p. five being absent.
The advocates OF the scheme made q
night not the less determined becau &c
hopeless. Crowley, who WAS their
champion yesterday, made an elo-
qGenf presentation of the needs of
WaiIa Naila county and told why
she asked for such constita-
tional provision and what she
expected 10 do if she obtained IL. He
argued that there was good precedent
Tor the incorporation OF such clause
IN the constitution and that, sur
rounded by restrictions and safe
guards, ii was entirely safe and rea-
sonahle. Dunbar today made pow
sriul speech for the people OF klicki-
tat. Sho were suffering for railroad
comm unicaCon and who could not
expect 10 obtain il soon by means
other than this. Sturdsyans, Stiles
isliiis, Biaiock and others had plausi-
bic reasons why the proposition
should carry, and altogether tie
Walla Walla people were hacked up
strongly ey delegates from every part
of the territory. Buchanan, on the
contrary, made snccineI statement
OF the reasons against the measure
and Moore opposed il IN
IN. most eloquent and finished
speech that has been delivered
yet. Turner, Grifiitts. Warner and
others spoke for the majority and
Browne closed by snmming Up tie
argument. adding constitutional reas-
ons In behalf OF his report. Alto
gether the discussion was the most
Interesting that has yet been held,
though il was most proiitless, for il is
doubtful il II influenced a vote one
way o. the other.
