BISHOP WALDoN AT THE UNI
vERsITY.-Bishop Waldon, of the
Nj. e. church, who presided at the
conference lately held in Portland,
"by chance" as he termed 1t, came
to Salem Yesterday morning, and
visited the fair during the afternoon.
Last evening, at the request of many
of his friends, he spoke for about
one hour at the University chapel to
an audience of about 200, who
listened with attention to all he had
to say. He commenced by stating
that he had baan requested to speak
OF his travels in Norway, Denmark
and Sweden, and to give such items
of general interest, as could be
crowded into an hours friendly
talk. He then related incidents Of
Of his travels spoke of the religious
aud social characteristics of the peo-
pie of those countries. He said he
found them especially hospitable,
aud fond of social amusement; that
religious exercises were frequently
followed by these occasions, and In
not few instances, coming under
his observation these combined re-
freshments with the season of pleas
ure, quite frequently following
seruion from The pastor. He spoke
of his great surprise to find in that
far of land, Universities, with a
corps of able teachers. Museums
containing articles of interest and
wonder which he had never seen In
all his travels either In Europe or
America. Among other strange
and amusing matters he related,
was, that nowhere In all the world
had he seen such beautiful roses as
he found in Norway. "You of Ore
gon and Washington said he,
"can hoast of larger and more beau
tiful specimens Of roses than we east
of the Rockies, but you do not know
what a beautiful rose is. / would
not dare to speak of their size. else
you would think that distance lent
enchantment to the size, as we'll as
the view.'" or his travels In Rus
sia, he said that he had been told
that he would be tormented by off,
cials throughout all his journey In
that land, but that only once was
his baggage or papers examined, and
that then the officer discovered a
little silk American flagin his vallse,
which he said he always carried.
"This little flag" said he, twas the
officers guarantee of my friendly
feeling toward his country, and no
one molested or interfered with me
In any way thereafter. His re-
marks were exceedingly interesting
and instructive, and we regret that
no notice was given of his coming.

For these gentlemen make politics a
business, and it is business with them
all the time. Nothing is more notorious
than that the democratic canvass has
Jagged, and the whole party in the
state has been listless and apathetic
simply because the Tammany leaders
had not come to an understanding with
Or. Cleveland as to the distribution of
the offices. 1t has been said by some
prominent ones that there would have
10 be a definite arrangement, not
merely a verbal promise, but written
contract, with MIR. Cleveland on this
subject before the Tammany organiza-
ton would exert itself effectively in his
behalf But it is dangerous to put such
things IN writing, and there is no doubt
that the dinner given by Mr. Cleveland
to leading democrats the other night
was a device, suggested perhaps by Mr..
Whitney, to avoid this difficulty.
There have been no disclosures as
yet of what took place at this consul
tation, but one thing is certain: that
the dinner meant business, and that
the Business was to reach an under
standing by which Tammany Han, in
consideration of tie federal patronage,
