afternoon of the same day he went
on to Logan. He had been drink

he undertook TO board freight

ment when sober and could turn a
helping hand to almost any kind of
work and was clever and kind
hearted to fault, and in spite of
his, at times, seemingly unconirol-
able appetite for strong drink, the
esquire" and family had become
very much attached to him.

AS TORAILWHY REFORMS
WHAT OF THE FAST FREIGHT LINES
AND TERRIToRIAL AGENCIES.
Annual Report of President Ashley,
of the Wabash Lines-He Defends
the Joint Traffic Association.

1t is fully understood that the board of
managers of the Joint Traffic Association,
at the earliest opportunity, win undertake
to solve two problems which, have given
the presidents more or less anxiety. First,
the cutting down of expenses of the pas
serger department by establishing joint
agencies, and, second, what fast freight
lines shall be abolished. AS to cutting
down the expenses of the passenger de-
partment less trouble is likely to arise thar
when the against the fast freight
lines is undertaken. Since the subject was
first mooted there has been an increase in
fast freight lines and in agencies in both
trunk line and Central Traffic Association
territory. Those in position to know aver
that these freight lines are in no danger of
being abolished long as their chief
stockholders are to be found in the direc-
torates of the roads over which they oper-
ete. They are little credit mobiliers, or,
wheels within wheels, and the length of
their duration depends entirely upon
question of conscience. AS this element is
as ! to 16 when measured by integrity,
there is every reason to believe that the
fast freight lines will live to d ripe old
age. This suggestion is by no means orig
mai with the joint traffic managers. 1t
has been a subject of discussion for a long
time among railway managers, but none
of them appeared to have sufficient courage
to carry out their convictions; II was
through fear that a competitor might d.
vert part of the business that would nave
been secured had some one been about
working in the interest of the unrepre-
scented line. Under the reform proposed the
initial lines will act for their connections
With rates rigidly maintained. the shipper
will have no choice in routes if the service
is equally acceptable.

of that convention that there are in our

A member of the Oregon delegation, diff
fering from Mr.. Macarthur, said that while
Oregon Democrats were united in devotion
to their country and TO Democratic prin
ciples, yet they were divided as to methods,

to be National Democrat, but one who IN

recognize in him one who is honest; one
who is capable. and who will prove
true to his trust

The motion prevailed by unanimous
vote. and the Chair announced that Gen.
John u. Palmer was the nominee of the
National Democratic party for President of
the United States.
Immediately upon the announcement, the
music of Hail Columbia rose from the
band in the gallery, the standards of the
States were gathered in a bouquet about
the marker of Illinois. and the delegates,
joined by a small number of the audience.
swung their fans and hats as a salute to the
successful candidate. Then the standards
started in procession, winding about the
aisles,y and, after a minute or two of march
ing, were brought back to their respective
positions. OF course this was accompanied
by a good deal of noise from the threats of
the delegates. but when the standards re-
sumed their places the commotion rapidly
subsidized and the business of the conven-
tioH,Eas permitted to proceed.

zen Col James O. Broadhead. Cheers }
The purity of his private life, his high abil-
tiles, his uprightness of character. his wide
experience in professional and public af-
fairs. make him worthy OF any distinction
that you might confer: but he declined to
permit US to use his name, and reluct-
antly acquiesced in his decision. We meet
here forewarned of defeat. No candidate
whom we name here can be elected.
(Voices: No, no; we don't believe that.)
Let us face the worst, and let us
take it even for granted that he
may not carry one electoral vote.
No; though our hope is forlorn, efforts
will not be in vain. If we Worthily sustain
this contest it will mean q new Their
mopylae-the sacrifice of individuals and
the salvation of the Nation. 6Cheers) The
supreme requirement of leadership in such
an emergency is supreme courage; a cour-
age which needs not the prospect of victory
to incite it to action; courage which can
be found in duty alone the inspiration of
the utmost doing and the utmost daring
(Applause) We find this need met by a
distinguished citizen of the United States
who has been all his life Injured to fight in
field and forum; who has borne himself
with equal gallantry in battle and debate
