To Elect a Senator.

Salem, Ore, Sept. 26.-The Oregon
legislature will convene in an extra
session to-day at noon, the principal
business to come before the session
being the election of United States
senator TO fill the vacancy which has
existed from this state since March 4,

Gen. Shafter went 10 the front SO
years ago as colonel of the Nineteenth
infantry. The meeting between the
general and the gray-haired men, who,
as boys, followed him on the battle
field, was very affecting, some of the
old veterans crying for JOY. An in
teresting camp fire was held at night

old comrades. Gen. Shafter was born
at Galesburg, a few miles from Con-

Hcsoitcd: That with many expressions
of esteem, we send greetings, congratu-
lations and praise TO the army and navy
enlisted under our flag. God speed the
day of victory and their triumph and
safe return.
Resoired: That among the citizens and
statesmen of our land, there is none
whom we more earnestly congratulate
and enthusiastically endorse than our
own Representative in Congress for this
district, who was the staunch supporter
Of the President in his diplomatic nego-
tiations with Spain and who has coun-
seled for peace, yet holding the cause of
humanity and the honor OF our country
above every other consideration, has
voted for every war measure, in antici-
patton of conflict between this nation
and that of Spain. He advised and
voted for immediate action for the
strengthening of our navy that made
Dewey's, Schleys and Skaters victory
and Hobson's gallant sacrifice possible
and we especially commend him for his
position on all war measures and his
earnest efforts and sOlicitude for the
veterans of the late war and for his sue
cessful efforts in securing pension legis-
lation for the needy survivors of the
war, their widows and orphans.
The roll was then called for the pre-
sentation of candidates Antrim being
first. Judge Bailey of Mancelona pre-
scented the name of Hon w. s. Mesick
in red hot speech, such as the judge
can always be depended on making,
after which each county in the district,
as called seconded the nomination and
Mr.. Mesick was renominated by accla-
nation, after which the chair appointed
a committee to wait on the nominee and
bring him before the convention. On
his arrival he was introduced by the
chairman of the committee, X. s. Miller
of Elwell. Mr.. Mesick thanked the
convention for their action and gave a
very able and interesting talk on the
administration, going at some length
into the pledges of the Republican party
in 1896 and showing that the promises
made had fully been paid, speaking
words of praise for President Mckinley
in the manner in which he had handled
the war question. After few remarks
by Hon. ID. +. Award, reader of the
House of Congress, who is another pride
of the 18th District, the convention adj.
journed.
