The Safest Course.

While THE ARGUS confidence in
the law-abiding spirit ,of the people
is such that it does not look for seri-
Gus disturbance attending the con-
tinuation of the meetings on Market
square, and it most earnestly hopes
aud trusts that there will be none SO
irrational as to commit acts Of vio-
lence, yet it sees danger in permit
ting Clark to appear there again.
and the authorities are taking great
chances in allowing another meeting
tonight. Last nights meeting. at
tended as it was BY nearly a thou sand
people, PASSED OF without seri-
Gus incident because the lecturer
was more calm in his remarks,
but the least friction might have
resulted in a disturbance of q
most violent nature. With the feel.
ing that now exists in the city. the
safest plan is the best. Prevention
is better than cure, and Chief Etzel
will act much more in accordance
with conservative public sentiment
and his duty as we'll by forbidding
. further meeting at the present
time than by tolerating further ap.
pearances Of Clark and his followers
on public property.

ONLY ton Of the states Of the union
have given presidents to the United
States In the last 105 years, and as
many as 81 OF them have failed to
give us president. The states
most favored in this respect have
been Virginia, which has given us
five, and New York. which has given
us four, but Illinois has made up in
the worth Of its presidents what it
may be out in numbers. Perhaps
some one Of the "a states which has
not yet had a president among its
inhabitants may furnish us with
Clevelsnd's successor. Georgia is a
great state; and Connecticut, though
of small area, is another. The New
York Sun says: 1--WE cannot forget
Iowa, nor yet Maine, which is the
whole breadth Of the United States
from California. In every state OF
the union there is good enough tim
Der for the presidency. All the
states should push forward their
fittest men within the next IL
months. democrats and republicans.
The hopes OF most, II not all. OF the
aspirants who are now hoeing their
own chances will be blighted within
that time. 1t was once proposed by
an I'D time politician that each OF
the states should takes its turn in
providing us with presidential can
didates, so as to give equal oppor.
tunities and fair play to ALL"

OREGON REPUBLICANS.

Delegates Elected to Attend the Ma
tional Convention of League Clubs.
PORTLAND, May 22.-The convention
of the State Republican League Clubs
met IN this city to-day, over 700 delegates
being present The entire afternoon was
consumed in the election of six delegates
at-large to the National Convention to be
held at Cleveland, June 18TH. While
some of the delegates chosen are favor
able to silver, they are unanimous against
any declaration on the money question
by the National League of Republican
Clubs.
This evening four delegates were also
elected from each of the two Congress
sional districts of the State. These dele
gates are also opposed to any action on
the silver question by the Republican
National League.
There was no attempt made to intro
duce resolutions bearing on silver, and
the sentiment of ths convention, as lndl-
Gated by the delegates chosen, was
strongly against action calculated to COM
NIT the Republicans of the State either
for or against free coinage.
This evening large meeting was held,
at which a number OF prominent he
publicans made brief addresses.
The whole number of votes in the cor
vention, including proxies, was 1000.
While no mention OF the silver question
was made, it was generally understood
that the issue was whether or not dele
gates favorable to free coinage should be
elected. An analysis of the vote shows
that the anti-silver delegates were elected
by an average vote of 2 to /.
1sAt to-nights session Il resolution intro
duced by the silver inca calling for the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of l6 to l
was voted down by an oveiwhe helming
majority. There was no call for di-
vision on the question.

Great Success.
SAN BERNARDINo, May 22.-The cir
cult races here to-day were a great sue
cess. Tandems were used TO pace the
scratch races, and Foster ran away from
the field in the mile open, making the
splendid time of PIG against strong
wind and dusty track. In the two
mile handicap Foster and Burke had
Heventy five yards, with Ulbrcht and
Castleman on the scratch. The limit
was l5O yards. After the first mile was
finished all took an easy gait. This
saved Burke, who beat Foster out by
half wheel in the final squirt. Ulbricht
finished length behind, and the rest
were well back. Jones was covered with
plaster and cotton from his fall Sunday
night, and was too lame TO ride fast. lne
handicapping was poor. A. w. Cleaver,
the Chicago Class y man, was dlsQuali-
fed in the mile handicap for foul riding.
On the backstretch he slowed up and
dumped Wasson of Riverside, who was
also a scratch man. Clark of San Jose
and others also went down. The county
championship was ridden in the heavy
wind in 2:264, thanks to the tandem pac-
ing. The track Is one OF the poorest

CHANCE FOR DETECTIVE WORK.


Mcdonald, a Colorado Murderer, Be-
lieved to be in California.
DENVER, May 22.-The detectives of
the Wells Fargo Express Company, as
we'll as the police, are searching for
James Mcdonald, alias LOS Angeles"
The police want him for the murder Of
Detective Moore and the express COM
pany for the Cripple Creek stage obbery.
Definite information has lately been
obtained that Los Angeles" was one OF
the gang which held up the Wells Fargo
wagon at Cripple Creek and carried
away $4,000. On May 10th LOS Ange-
les" was seen in San Francisco in a
saloon on kearny street. A city detec-
tive recognized him as an ex-convict, but
not as the murderer of the Denver de-
tective. Chief Harrington has telegraphed
to the San Francisco authorities, request
ing them to make every effort to appre-
hend the much wanted man.
Three days after the murder of Moore,
on March 2lst, LOS Angeles" walked
into a drug store at Altman and pur.
chased some salve and some bandages.
At the time be had bloody cloth
wrapped around his;neck, and DR.. Leav-
enworth asked him how he was hurt. He
said that he had fallen down a shaft. The
wound was really inflicted by Detective
Moore, who shot Los Angeles after he
ran. Two days after the bold robbery OF
the express company the man disap-
psared from Altman, leaving with the two
men who are now suspected OF being the
highwaymen. From Cripple Creek Nc
Donald was traced south to Arizona, and
from thence into California. His capture
now seems to be but a matter of few
days. The reward on his head is very
arge.
