communication which was read by the
secretary, asking the endorsement OF
that body in the preparation Of a labor
directory of the city, and Offering TO
make donation of $50 to the Assembly.
1t was received and filed.
Some printed communications OF no
public Importance were read by the sec
rotary.
Mr.. Thomas V. Salisbury presented
his resignation as secretary OF the
Trades and Labor Assembly, TO take ef-
feet at the next meeting. Mr.. Salisbury
has been eight times chosen as his own
successor. and has ben honOred with
the respect and trust of the delegates
during that period. The only reason
which he assigned for offering the resig-
nation was that he needs rest, and feels
that he has earned it during his long
service to the body, dating from April
18th, 1888. Some years ago the AS
semDly adopted a bylaw requiring un-
animous consent for the reelection Of
any officer. Under this ruling Mr.. Sal
isbury has been several times elected,
this being a most unusual and t1atter-
ing tribute to his integrity Of charac-
ter and purpose, as we'll as his unques-
toned ability. In making the motion
TO accept the resignation, Mr.. NJ. Gro
gan paid a deserved tribute 10 the eff
cheney of the retiring officer. The mo-
ton was adopted The reporters who
have attended the meetings Of the AS
sembly also regret the action OF MIR.
Salisbury, as he has been uniformly
courteous and obliging.
The rejection of an application for
endorsement of a man for a government
position, brought out a discussion con-
corning politics which was very inter-
esting The delegates appeared TO be
at sea as TO the precedent established by
the Assembly. One delegate made the
point that the endorsement of a candi-
date as a Republican or Democrat was
worthless. The Assembly's endorse
ment would only amount to something
if the candidate represented labor and
notification. The delegates and labor
ing psople generally, would continue TO
vote their party tickets. He instanced
an occasion when the Assembly endors-
ed a Democrat and Republican on the
legislative ticket; one promptly pledg-
ed himself to vote for the other, but
the other said he would have to be
bound by his party caucus. His argu-
ment was that the Assembly placed it
self in a ludicrOus light The reply was
made by another delegate that the la
Dor representatives Of both States, have
accomplished a great deal for the cause,
and he enumerated several instances.
The debate was cut of by the President.
1t came UP again, however. when
delegate introduced copies of speech
censuring an address made by Ambas-
sador Bayard. A delegate arose to i'll
sist. as a matter of fairness, that both
sides be heard. He had read Bayard'S
speech and was of opinion that many
truths were expressed in it. Another
delegate arose to deprecate the intro
duction of politics into the Assembly,
and made the point that the inevitable
result would be contention of nature
not creditable TO the body.

Morrow All Right,

There has been great deal of ak
pro and con about Morrow county. Re-
publicans have claimed all along that
this county would give Mckinley ma
jority. Ell Bishop, formerly cashier of
the, First National Bank OF Heppner,
who is considered careful and conserva-
tive fgurer and isa man who is thorough
ly posted on the political situation in
that county, gave out month ago that
Morrow county would give Mckinley q
majority Of %; while that many demo-
Gratis claimed that Bryan would receive
from rs to so majority. Late reports
seem to leave little doubt that the coun-
twill give Bryan q majority. There Is
plenty OF Bryan money at Heppner beg
ging to be covered and the secretary Of
the Bryan club at HeppneF has written
that Morrow county will positively 90 for
Bryan.

While other railroad companies
throughout the country have tho reputa-
ton of coercing their employees to wear
Mckinley buttons and shout for the gold
standard nominee from early morn to
dewy eve, the O R.& N. is above such
dirty business, and the Democrat believes
that this company is entitled to the cred
1t due. AS an example: Yesterday
General Passenger Agent Hurlburt was
on board the train from La Grande. He
gave orders to Conductor seeley to allow
Senator Tillman fifteen minutes to adj
dress the people Of Baker City from the
car platform, when ordinarily only five
minutes stop is made here. Such fair
treatment of the people is to be appreciate
ed, and the people OF Baker City will re-
member the courtesy extended Baker

History Of the Case That Ended in

History Of the Case That Ended in
William Bare's Conviction.
William Bare was found guilty of
murder in the second degree in Canyon
City last week, and sentenced to impris-
onment in the penitentiary for life. The
history Of the case in brief ia this:
Late in November OF last year, George
A. Scott, book agent, went into that
section delivering books and collecting
his money. He proceeded without
trouble until he reached the postoffice at
Izee, about 40 miles from Canyon City.
He disappeared from that point on the
9th of December, and no trace OF him was
found until the following April. Then it
was found that an old sheep cabin in an
isolated spot had been burned down, and
in the ashes were found traces OF the
missing peddler. A careful search on
the spot in the vicinity revealed q few
small human bones, cart and harness
irons, the carcass Of the peddler's horse

Keen Your Eve on This.

The first is from the republican nation
al platform, which no doubt most voters
have ere this committed to memory:
Eve are therefore opposed TO the free
coinage Of silver except by international
agreement with the leading commercial
nations of the world, which we pledge
ourselves to promote, and until such an
agreement can be obtained the existing
gold standard must be preserved"
And the next is from leaAet that IL
being widely circulated and pretty gem
orally published by the gold press:
TN 1878, 1888, 1892 three international
conferences held to try TO re-establish
the nse Of silver were unsuccessful"

what Yalue there is in the drat promise,

and other evidence. The theory at once
spraug up that the peddler had been
murdered for his money, and that his
body and personal effects had been dis
troyed as far as possible by FIRE. 6uspic-
ion pointed to William Bare and Richard
Hinkle as the perpetrators Of the crime.
They we're arrested, but OH the prelim-
mary hearing Hinkle was discharged and
Bare held. The evidence against Bare,
though entirely circumstantial, was clear,
and he WAS convicted.
