The nominations were completed
by the election of A. p. Gordon, OF
Salem, chairman of the county Gen.
trail committee.
While motions to adjourn were on
the lips of dozen or more delegates
P. H. DARCY read the following
resolution, which was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That the Democrats ol
Marion county are in favor of max.
ing the office of clerk and sheriff
salaried ones and are opposed to the
pernicious laws which allows ex-
horbitant fees to the clerk and sheriff
as at present and which have a tend
ency to corrupt and demoralize tie
politics of the country.
AT l o'clock the convention adj
journed.
Judge Walton was an ideal presid-
ing officer.
Reeds was crowded and so were
the galleries.
The states prison crowd was out in
full force.
One of the delegates wore tuft
of wool labelled TO show his devotion
to free trade in that article. He was
nominated coroner.
Democrats are all going to plant
elder trees in their door yards.
Mr.. Elder was introduced with a
hurrah and made neat speech.
Judge Bonham proved to the COM
mittee on platform by Governor
Pennoyer's article in the North
American review that he was not a
Democrat, and the committee so
held. But Mayor Darcy came to
his rescue and had the governor en-
dorsed.
It was we'll conducted conven-
tion, except that they hooted Billy
Kaiser down. Not having adopted
a rule on the subject the convention
had no right to abrldge free speech
in any manner.
All the concessions of the Salem
Democrats in conceding to the oppo-
nents of the chairman, were futile.
No Salem man could get an Office
worth much. The state work was
very gratifying to a certain class Of
politicians, who are always ready to
array the county against Salem. 1t
will please them, but they are not
very numerous.
