huElor socially, as a few boxes of or
anges had been brought in and scat
tered and thrown all over the house in
boyish, sportive glec. a short time be-
fore. Everybody was happy and the
time was ripe for a crisis. The op-
portunity was grasped by Cleeton of
Columbia, who in a few we'll chosen
words recfted the well known condi-
tions and his previous loyalty to Dolph,
ending with the announcement of his
intention to vote for George w. Nc
Bride The roll call proceeded and
the first representative from the Dolph
ranks to step to the Mcbride column
was J. L. Calvert of this county. The
first senator to take a like step was
DR.. Calbreath of Yamhill. Senators
Hobson and Patterson and Speaker

ing is the vote as between Mr.. Dolph
and Mr.. Mcbride:

The first to change his vote was
Templeton, who mounted seat and
said he wanted senator. He was fol-
lowed by Smith of Polk, and he in
turn by Bridges, who made the last
one needed, but several others, led by
Geo. Z. Myers, also changed and the
end was that Paxton's motion to record
the republican 72 as unanimous for
him was adopted on the second of
Senator McGinn.
Through all these latter scenes joyful
pandemonium reigned. Finally a COM
mittee was sent after the new senator,
who appeared and made a neat speech
Of appreciation, promising the most
faithful service for the state of his
birth. Three cheers were given for
Mr.. Mcbride with such vein as made
the building almost shake. Then the
crowd yelled for Fulton and that gen
tleman being found his appearance was
the signal for the widest and most
hearty demonstration Of the night,
except perhaps when Senator Brownell
made his eloquent speech announcing
his change to, Fulton as spoken of
above. Mr.. Fulton spoke for a few
moments in his able, manly way and
assured his houseful of admirers that
he was never happier in his life than
he was then in witnessing the united
cheered to the echo and at Speaker
Moores' request, three cheers We're
given for ''the united republican party.
Three cheers were likewise sent up for
Speaker Moores himself.
Thomas II. Tongue was called for
with such determination that that
gentleman came forward with a few
words of congratulation on the happy
publican hosts again marching under
a common flag. He, too, was heartily
received and applauded.
orator Of the Marion county delegation
was called out and spoke in his usual
pleasing way. He was in high favor
with the house, for he had seconded
Mr. Cleeton's nomination of Mr.. Nc.
Bride in manner which left no doubt
Of his sincerity and that of the whole
Of the thirty antis for any acceptable
republican, and that, as much as any
thing had made clear sailing for Mr.
Cleeton's favorite. The feeling was
so good the crowd was 10th to sepa
rate, but motion to dissolve the join
convention finally prevailed. and sooI
the platform was crowded with friends
Offering hearty congratula ations to the
new senator. Not only that but in 6
! few minutes the telegraph wires
brought from the southern confines Of
the state telegram of like tenor ani
many others from all over the state
poured in later. The contents of the
