REPUBLICAN CLUBS.
First Day of the Convention at
Buffalo.

Gentleman Declines to Speak-Synopsis

Iowa-Stevenson Talks Force Bill to

Democracy In Alabama-Col. Dudley's
Views.
Blu FFALo, Sept. 16.-The first session of
the fifth annual convention of the National
League of Republican clubs was held here
yesterday, opening at 1l:20 o'clock a. M,
j. L. Scatcherd presiding. After prayer
and welcome by Judge Haight, Presi-
dent Clarkson arose amid great applause.
He acknowledged the welcome, and ex-
planning the fact that the attendance was
not quite so large was expected, said
that it was largely due to the cholera
scare keeping away many delegations.
Slaughter of Nebraska and Foster of Hi
nais were named as assistant secretaries.
The roll-call was next in order, and it was
found that thirty-two states and three
territories were represented.
College Leagues Admitted.
About the first business that was done
was the admission to membership of the
College League Then committees were
and after the preliminary work had been
completed a recess was taken to p. IN.
The first thing in the afternoon was to
have been President Clarkson's address;
but the noon edition of Buffalo pa
per printed it under the supposition that
it would be delivered at the morning ses-
sion. Mr.. Cla-kson, therefore, decided
not to deliver it at all, but authorized its
publication.
Our PoIyglot Electorate.
The address says that the change in po-
Gtical methods have made the party news
paper the great agency of popular politi-
cal education and continues that every
language and idiom and jargon spoken
anywhere on the face of the globe is now
represented in America and they have to
be reached in their own language to inf1u.

United States, not only to be a work OF

newspapers or through some form of lit
erature, the employment of every Ian
guage spoken to make known to every
home in America the strength and good

The Governor Insists that Corn Costs
More Than 1t Comes To.
CARROLL, Ia, Sept. 16.--The Democratic
campaign in this section was opened yes
terday by a speech from Governor Boies,
In which he took boldly the radical tariff
for revenue ground of the National DEM
ocratic plat form and declared that there
was no excuse for protective duties now
that the war was over. The policy of the
protectionists was to squander the money
in the national treasury in order to make
an enormous revenue necessary, some part
of which must be raised by a tax upon i'm.
ports. The governor also spoke briefly on
the subject of a federal election bill and
the proposed repeal of the tax on state
bank issues.
The Cost of Raising Corn.
The farmer, he said, did not profit by
reciprocity treaties, they We're never
made with countries that take large
quantities of our farm products. He then
repeated the famous statement made in
his speech at the tariff reform banquet
at New York in 1890, that the corn crop
of Iowa had sold for S1.33 an acre, or ca
cents less than it had cost to produce it,
saying nothing about the use of land on
which it was gro oHn. He then continued:
"The estimate of the cost of producing
corn was based solely upon the opinion of
practical farmers IN our own state, ana
the yield per acre and the market price
was taken from the most reliable statistics
attainable.
Produced 1t at a Heavy Loss.
"They presented, however, a most start
ling fact. They demonstrated truth of
which the farmers themselves had been
ignorant, for it showed them that during
those years they had been producing the
most important crop raised on their farms
ut heavy loss, if their labor was calcu-
lated at the price others received for SIM
liar work in other lines of business I
want the farmers to realize what is true.
that they of all others are the victims of a
protective tariff; that it is upon them that
its heaviest burdens are laid, and to them
that the least of its blessings are given.7

AsHEvILLE, \. c., Sept. 16.-An enor-
nous throng of North Carolina citizens
greeted Hon. A. E. Stevenson when he
reached here yesterday, and procession
of several thousand est orted him to the
place of meeting, where the enthusiasm
was unbounded. Mr.. Stevenson put in
most of his time reciting the evil effects
of the "force" bill if it should pass and
become law, declaring that for the south-
ern people that issue was paramount
He spoke particul larly to third party men,
telling them that either Cleveland or
Harrison would be president and their
support of third party man was perilous
to their section.
Not Dead Issue
He warned his hearers that the bill was
not dead; that a Republican congress
would pass it and Republican president
sign it, and said: "Is it possible, citizens
of North Carolina, that it was necessary
for me to come thousand miles from my
home to beg you not TO fasten the shackles
upon yourselves again? Is it necessary
for me to tell you that this most Infamous
force bill is aimed at youf' He then re-
ferred II reconstruction times and asked
his hearers if they want d them revived.

WOMAN AND THE HOME.
cal Power of the Home Becoming
More Potential.

Political Power of the Home Becoming
More Potential.
Referring to the transfer of policies from
heroic and sentimental to economic lines,
Clarkson said that the latter issues
touched every home in the land. "The
woman has appeared in American politics
and the home has become the unit of
American politics. Conservative people
may scoff at it, old fashioned men may de-
ride it, but the power of the home is going
to be more and more potential in Ameri-
can affairs. Very soon there will arise
some great woman or some woman
who will organize in this great republic q
political league that will become speedily
one of the first class powers in political
America
Refers to the NEGRO Problem"
Referring to political issues after giving
a history of the League and what it had
done, the speaker had this to say of the
negro question:: The negro is already in
politics and there to stay. What is called
the negro problem is no longera southern
or a sectional question. There is no seuti-
ment in the north which would put i-s
norant men in control of public affairs ia
the south; but never, SO long the Re-
publican party remembers Abraham Lin
coin and its own origin and destiny, can
it give its consent to the enormous doc
trlnce that any man may be dlSfranchlSed
in this republic because he is Republi-
can or because he is black. If the son of
Frederick Douglass may be disfranchised
today my son may be disfranchised to-
morrow"
Labor the Coming Question.
"The rising question of the time, in my
Judgment, the one on which the next ma
tional campaign is surely to be fought, is
the labor question. By that time the Nc
kinley bill will have fully demonstrated
the wisdom of the American policy and
will have gained the approval of a major
ity of the American homes as the perma-
nent policy of this republic. After the
vindication in November next of these
great American ideas am confident the
Republican party will take up the labor
question more in detail, and by such study
and investigation of it through league
clubs and other forms of discussion will
reach by 1886 some method of tranouiliz
ing entirely the question of labor. =

Pionship Game at West Seattle.
The Puyallups gave the Seattle Maroons
sound drubbing yesterday in the anna
teur league contest at West Seattle, and
came within one of shutting them out.
The game, up to the last half of the fifth
inning, was very clever exhibition
neither club having crossed the plate, and
most of the batsmen going out in one-two-
three order. There had been but one hit
and but one error made by both teams,
and neither of these amounted to any,
thing. In the fifth the visitors gagged
Kings delivery, and at the same time the
field back of him went all to pieces. From
then until the finish the winners piled up
runs about as they pleased, and stopped
with eleven at the end Of the eighth inn
ing.
The feature of the game was Nethery's
pitching. He had good speed and curves,
and used excellent head work. Ten of the
men who faced him struck out, and but
four hits were made off his delivery. Up
to the ninth the Maroons were credited
with but one hit, a single by Powell
Then, after two men were out, Nethery
grew careless and let down. As result
Fowles smashed the hall into right field
for three bases. Hope and Warner each
followed up. with a two-bagger that
brought in two earned runs. Warner
ended the game by being thrown out in an
attempt to steal third. Holland caught a
fair game, and did some excellent throw
ing to second base. the score:

The past week in baseball has brought
out its full share of surprises and TO a con-

Seattle opens the season at home with

Tacoma.
The work of the Seattle team has been

test. Their play in the first
game went 10 show this. The
costly experience of that day served,
however, 10 steady them down. Their
work was much improved in Saturdays

Their fielding was almost perfect and their
batting. which has been fair from the
start, was decidedly strong, as eleven runs
in single inning bear evidence. To-Day
the team will have the opportunity TO
make il three ont of four games from Ia

OREGON WEATHER AND CROPS.
Western Part of tho State Not a. Fa-
vOred as the Eastern.

PORTLAND, April 17.-fSpecial. Weather
conditions in Western Oregon have been
unfavorable to all crops. Fall wheat is
generally in good condition, though in
wet places it is obtaining bad color. 1t
has little growth. but is reported to have
stooled well and as being we'll rooted.
Spring seeding has been delayed and in
many sections is not over half done. Re-
ports indicate a general tendency towards
much larger acreage than usual. Frosts
have undoubtedly done damage to fruit
buds. The freezing temperature existed
on the mornings of the 1lth and 18th in
many loca lities, and it was then supposed
that damage was done. 1t is, however,
surmised that not more than the necessary
pruning of fruit was done by the frost.
Hop men are very busy in their yards
and preparations are being made to pre-
vent, if possible, the ravages of the hop
louise.
Sheep shearing and lambing are in
progress. The wool clip has never been
excelled for quality.
Strawberries are in blossom. Small
berries are formed and garden truck is
growing slowly, though promising.
The soil in Eastern Oregon is in first
class condition. Being an unusually
moist spring, seeding is nearly completed.
The acreage of spring grain is the largest
on record. There has been marked IN
crease in the acreage in Grant countp
owing to two flour mills being erected. All
reports indicate the wheat prospects to be
better than ever before.
Stock is in excellent condition and
ranges furnish good feed. Frosts did
damage to fruit and tender vegetables,
though not to any great or serious extent.
The lambing season continues and with
most excellent results. Wool grow
ers report the heaviest and best grade of
wool clipped this year, that has ever been
secured. The cereal, STOCK and wool in
terests were never more promising than
they are at present throughout Oregon,
