this Office and at the stores. We be-
lieve this is the first time the society
has ever met in Eastern Oregon, and
every effort should be made to show
our appreciation of the honor conferred
upon us. 1t will prove quite an adver-
tisenent for this section and will re-
suit in much good. Everybody should
unite in making the meeting q pleas
ant one, and our fruit-growers should
attend the meetings in body. Some
very interesting papers will be read and
discussed, and no doubt many new
ideas will be suggested. The next
meeting of the society will be held in
Portland, most likely, as it is the GUS
tom to hold the fall meeting at that
place during the exposition, but New
burg is going to make fight for it. 1t
is expected that from seventy-five to
one hundred members of the society
will attend the meeting here.

The democratic national convention
at Chicago nominated Grover Clcve-
land for president on the first ballot at
$50 O'Clock Thursday morning, Mucf
time Was consumed In the nominating
speeches, and just before the ballot was
taken terrific rain storm set in, the
big tent looked like shower bath and
the delegates and audience were thor
onghly drenched. Even this could not
dampen the ardor of the delegates, and
motion TO adjourn was voted down
by almost a unanimous vote. On roll
cali Cleveland received 6l9l votes, Hill
li3. Roes los, German S6!, Stevenson,
l6s, Cariisle Is. Cleveland's nomina-
ton has seemed inevitable, and yet the
opposition had almost strength enough
to have defeated him. He had barely
the two-thirds necessary to choice,
and had this strength not developed,
it is more than probable his name
would not have graced the head of the
ticket.
