An Error and the Result.

Through a typographical error THE
ARGUS announced last evening that
grapes would be sold at NJ. Arnol6's
grocery at % cents basket. 1t should
have read 35 cents a basket. but the mis-
use of one figure taught Mr.. Arnold the
advantage-or it might be said in this
single case the disadvantage of adver>
tising in THE ARGUS The demand for
those % cents a basket grapes was
greater than he had made any cacula-
tions for. and the worst of it was that
everybody expected them at 10 cents
less than Mr.. Arnold had planned to sell
them at. He was equal to the emer-
gency. however. and no one was dissp-
pointed. He let them 60 at the figure
quoted. and THE ARGUS, which had
caused the misunderstanding this morn
ing made proper repsration TO Mr.. Ar
mold.

Florida for Harrison-The Presidents
Enemies Circulating Another Rumor
Getting the Convention Hall Ready

OMAHA, April 1.-THE fight between the
Boyd and Martin factions in the Demo-
cratic state convention, continued all
night before the committee on credentials
After a brief respite the struggle was re-
newed in the committee this morning, and
the convention was kept waiting ali the
morning by the failure of the credentials
committee. Separate delegates from the
various congressional districts in the eau
Gus selected delegates to the Chicago con-
vention. The majority of these are Boyd
men and are against instructing for Cleve-
land
1t was nearly noon when Chairman
Beatty called the meeting to order. The
committee on credentials reported in favor
of seating the Boyd delegation from Doug
las, Cheyenne. Cutting and Hitchcock
counties. A motion to adopt the commit
tees report was amended to seat the Mar
tin delegations. Then the final struggle
for supremacy began. County Attorney
Mahoney spoke in favor of the Martin
faction and Charles Offut presented the
Boyd factions case.
A vote was then taken, and the Boyd
faction was victorious 800 to 81.
Resolutions indorsing Cleveland and in
structing the delegates to the national con-
vention to vote for him were presented.
An amendment was presented eliminating
the instructions. This was adopted, and
the resolution as amended was passed.
The convention ratified the nomination
for delegates made by the congressional
districts, and then proceeded to the selec-
tion of delegates at large. Governor Boyd
was elected to head the delegation
by practically unanimous vote. The
other delegates are Tobias Castor, Judge
w. HI. Thompson and Milton Doolittle.
The committee on resolutions then re-
ported, declaring stea6fast adherence to
the Democratic platform of 1884 and the
Cleveland tariff policy; denouncing the
Mckinley law, favoring liberal pensions
and the regulation ofthe railroad and tele-
graph rates by the state.
At the conclusion of the platform Con-
gresham Bryan offered resolution favor
ing the free coinage of silver and uproar
ensued. Congressman Bryan spoke in
favor of the resolution and was supported
by delegates from the eastern part of the
state, but the other prominent leaders of
the party were against him. After a
hot debate, lasting three hours. the
roll was called, when Chairman
Beatty announced defeat of the resolution
by 2f7 to 229. Pandemonium broke loose.
The silver men made rush for the stage,
and, mounting the recorders table.
shrleked that they were beaten by fraud.
Finally quiet was restored and the re-
suits verified. After the selection of alter
mates to the national convention the con-
vention adjourned.

CITIZENS AND DEMOCRATS FUSE.
AuItnomah County's Attempt to Defeat
the Republican Ticket


the Republican Ticket.
PORTLAND, April 14-ISpecial. The
citizens committee of $50 and the Demo-
Gratis completed their fusion by nominal
ing full legislative and county ticket
today. The Democratic county con-
vention indorsed the Citizens nomi-
nees yesterday, and the Citizens indorsed
the Democratic nominee tonight. All the
Citizens comnitteet nominees are Repub-
icans and those of the Democratic con-
vention Democrats. There are no friction
either at the session of the Citizens or the
convention of the Democrats, the division of
offices having been agreed upon by confer
ence committees and ratified by the DEM
ocratic caucus and Citizens committee.
There was more of organization and har-
mony in the Democratic county conven-
tlon held at Arion hall today than has
ever been seen in any Demo-
cratic convention in this county be-
fore. The delegates were composed of
progressive Democrats principally men
who have placed the party on its present
strong basis. Many OF the delegates were
young men who have never taken part in
state and county campaigns. The same
may also be said of number of the nomi-
iicNS diiu OcltStlGS u Tile SLatc COnNcH-
tion. The result of the fusion by the
Citizens and Democrats will result in the
defeat Of some. if not all, of the Repub-
lican ring ticket in this county next June.
PORTLAND, Or, April 4.-Two county
conventions are being held here this after
noon. one by the Citizens committee and
the other by the Democrats. 1t has been
agreed between the two conventions that
they fuse and nominate a ticket composed
of half Democrats and half Citizens, in
opposition to the regular Republican
county ticket. Each convention will
nominate its half of the ticket, subject to
the ratification of the other convention.

twenty lives were lost in the neighborhood

WASHINGTON CITY, April 4.-At the
close of routine business in the Senate, in
the course of which the resolutions>of Ros-
ton merchants favoring a repeal of the
silver law of 1890 were read, the calendar
was taken up and a number of bills of no
general Importance disposed of.
Among bills acted upon was one ex-
tending the privileges of free delivery of
mails to cities and towns with popula-
tion not less than 500 where the postoffice
gross receipts for the previous year
amounted to 5000, which was passed.
Unfinished business was taken up, and the
bill amending the act establishing the cir
cult court of appeals and to regulate in
certain cases the jurisdiction of courts of

facilitating the disposition of cases IN the
court of claims was discussed, but without
action. The Senate went into executive
session, and adjourned until Monday.

WAsHINGToN CITY, April 14.-There were
many discrepancies in the testimony of J.
7. Morgan, an Indiana pension attorney,
before the Raum investigating committee
yesterday. Although he testified that he
had received a telegram from his wife say
ing that her sickness was more serious and
asked that he be excused on that account,
he was compelled to admit today that he
had not received such telegram. J. P.
Greenwalt, special examiner of the PEN
sion office, denied that the commissioner
had directed him to connect Cooper with
het "printed slip" matter, and said he left
nothing out of the depositions that he
thought material. nor excluded state
ments because they tended TO exonerate
Cooper. The committee adopted resoiu-
ton calling the attention of the secretary
of the interior TO the extraordinary char
acter of the testimony of Morgan, but
made no recommendation.
