PROF. LETCHER
THE REFERENDUM.

The graugers Of Marion county have
adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved by Marion county couven-
tion that we hereby endorse the prnci-
pie of the Initiative and Referendum
as far as It is applicable under the con-
stitution and If not applicable that the
constitution be so amended that it do
apply to all general legislation in future.
This is so strongly in accord with the
Democratic idea Of retaining the larg-
est power possible in the hands of the
people that We hest ate not to give our
endorsement.-Albany Democrat.
The Democrat would be very much
amused if it knew who was the author
of the above resolution. 1t is pretty
strongly intimated he is Republican
who believes ia retaining the largest
power possible in the hands of the peo-
pie"

The Democratic Conference.

At Portland today is being held the
second conference Of Democrats to
bring about fusion in Oregon between
the Populists and Democrats. If the
Democrats stand out il will go far to
defeat Pennoyer's scheme to capture
the United States senatorship. The
s.raight-out Democrats want to run
General Compson for governor. The
fusionista want to run Pierce for gov
ernor and Compson for secretary Of
state and the rest Of the ticket Demo-
cratic. This General Compson will
not do. He proposes to head q straight
Democratic ticket, or not go upon the
ticket at all. He prefers Republican
success to a fusion victory. Above all
he will not surrender his principles to
Pennoyer.
General Coinpson slys there are
thousands of Democrats who will
'tand by him. Pennoyer wants to
name the executive, elect the legisla-
ture, go to the senate and be the Peoples
party candidate for president in 1896.
He will tolerate no man who will not
keep out of his way or march under his
orders. General Compson is not that
kind Of man and hence he has no use
for him.
The state militia was advocated by
Pennoyer two years before and he APP
pointed Compson Brigsdier General.
Compson began to make success of
the national guard ard Pennoyer turn
ed against it. He wanted it to prove
a failure and so proposed to cut off it's
appropriation. In this Compson beat |
lim. He not only wanted Compson
% make tizzle of t he national guard,
)ut he wanted to beat him for railroad
Bat the Republicans
got wind of 1t and made him com.
missioner. The outcome of this con-
erence will be watched with interest.
General COmpson undoubtedly holds
he key to the situation. He may prove
m ,ster of the situation which is a
'ery interesting one.
