Seems to BE a Clean Sweep
/ for the G. o. p.
Have a Majority In the Legis-
lature and Possibly Both
Congressman.
Ex-G Governor Pennoyer (Pop)
Elected Mayor Of the City
Of Portland.

PORTLAND, Or, June 2.-Returns
from the elections held in Oregon dur
ing the day are coming in slowly. From
present appearances the legislature will
be Republican by large majority. The
Republicans have IL holdbver senators
in the legislature, the Populists 2 and
the Democrats l. The Republicans will
have to elect only 4 senators out of 10 in
order to have a majority in the senate.
The state central committee is claiming
10 out Of the Is, leaving 8 senators to
the Populists and Democrats out
of total of 30. In the last
house the Democrats were not
represented and the Populists had only
members out Of 60. It is conceded by
the Democrats and Populists that Bean
(Rep.), for supreme judge, will have at
least 5000 plurality. Tonge (Rep.), for
congress in the First district, is un-
doubtedly elected. In the Second dis
trict the contest is close and complete
raturns will be required to decide. In
dications are that ext Governor Pennoyer
has been elected mayor Of this city.

Two Negroes Charged With Assault
Lynched at Columbus. Ga.
COLUMBUS, Ga, June "A mob OF
COO men broke into tho Webster build
ing during the trial Of Jesse slayton,
charged with assaulting Mrs. Howard
Bryan last Thursday, and took the pris-
oner from the officers. A rope was
placed around Slayton's neck and he
was dragged up Broad street, the crowd
shooting at him as they went along.
Near the bell tower they swung the
negro up and perforated him with bull
let's. After this the mob, as coolly and
as deliberately as in the first instance,
went Immediately to the courthouse,
and, overpowering the jailer, took Will
Miles, a negro charged with assaulting.
Mrs. Albright two years ago, and
marched him slowly to where Slayton's
lifeless body was hanging to a tree.
The trembling negro was made to look
upon the face of his brother in crime,
then a rope was placed around his.neck
and he was slowly suspended i'll the air
and his body filed with bullets.

Feeling Growing Tlsata General Appeal
z for Aid ShonId be Made.
ID ST. LOUIS, June "A sharp disagree
1nent has arisen among the different
members of the relief committee. Many
desire to ask outside assistance, while
Others oppose it. At ameeting Of the
executive comr.ittcc much Of the time
was given over to discussion of the
misunderstanding that has gone abroad
concerning the attitude Of the city on
outside relief. From a concensus of
opinion Of the members of the executive
committee it is. the impression Of the
men and women who have the work Of
relief in charge that st. Louis is per-
fectly justified in accepting every kind
offer Of assistance, and Secretary Nor
gan Of the Merchants Exchange has
taken care Of every check and draft ar
irving in the city from outside.
There are number who believe that
an appeal should be made to tho outside
for help. This is based largely on the
assumption that the full realization Of
the enormity Of the calamity that has
oyertaken the city has not yet come to
the people.
