rived in St. Paul yesterday morning on his
way home from Washington, where he at
tended the meeting of the committee OIL the
Dist of this month. Mr.. Noltner is one of
the old settlers of Oregon, and has been
prominent in his partys councils for more
than score of years. He is well acquainted
st Paul, and spent the greater part of the
dayin calling on his many friends. among
whom are Hon. Michael Doran, Mayor Smith
and others as well known. He left for
Portland on the afternoon train.
You can say" remarked Mr.. Noltner,
THAT Oregon will have a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for vice president in
case the nominee for president is taken from
the East. The man we will present is Gov.
Pennoyer, of Oregon and he will be SUP
ported by the delegations from all the coast
states Gov. Pennoyer's nomination would
bring strength to the ticket all over the
country among the laboring classes. His
popularity among the people was shown in
his two elections as governor when the state
went Republican oil about everything else.
He was one of the first of the coasts pub
lie men to protest against the Chinese,
and in other ways he has made
friends of the laboring men. One
example of this kind occurred when
he was governor. The men who
had been employed IN building a new rail-
way struck and demanded their pay of the
contractors. In some way the men knew
that their employers had received the money
with which to pay them and they insisted
upon having it. Tine contractors refused and
the men threatened to tear down the bank if
they were not paid. The city officers tele-
graphed Gov. Pennoyer for several COM
panies of militia but instead of sending

"How do the Oregon Democrats stand on
favor?''
"Well," replied Mr.. Noltner "Gov. PEN

with any man who has been mentioned, ex-

Mr.. Noltner expressed the opinion that the
man named at Chicago will not be Mr. CleYe-

cations from the coast states for the reason
that there is very little Cleveland sentiment
among our Democrats"
Mr.. Noltner is firm believer in the efficacy
of perfect organization in politics. and this
is what he claims the Democracy of Oregon
has. A legislature will be elected next June
and of the senators to be chosen fifteen
will hold over and vote for the next United
States senator to succeed Senator Dolph.

Gov. Pennoyer for United Stetes senator and
make the fight between him and Dolph. If
this is done 1 believe we can secure the legis-
1ature. A change of 700 votes in the various
districts two years ago would have given US
the legislature and senator in place of Mr.
