MAYOR REED SPEAKS.
y shout of applause went up as the
slender form of Mr.. Reed came to the
front of the platform. lie spoke dclib-
erately and with clear resonant
corner of the hall.
The first burst OF applause that
greeted the Mayors speech of welcome
came when he spoke OF the universal
ity of Democratic doctrine which had
penetrated, he said, wherever liberty
was known and loved. lie dwolt at
some length on the progress of the
principles of the Democratic party
which originated. he said. with the lib
erty-loving people of France and Eng
land, and came to this continent for
its larger growth, and ultimate deVcl-
opment. His allusion to the early
leaders of the Democratic party. JEFF
ferson and Jackson, evoked outbursts
of cheers. He declared that jefferson
believed In expansion only as IL made
homes for American men upon their
own continent
Dwelling at length on the progress
made by the Democratic party in the
cause of human rights. Mr.. Reed grew
impassioned in his eulogy of the good
work done by it through all the years
of it's existence.
A yell of applause greeted his an
nouncement that the convention was
gathered on Democratic soil, ard as
the guests of n Democratic constitu-
ency that had always been in the fore
front of political fights of the country
When he declared that. in the name
OF that Democracy he bid the visiting
delegations welcome and prophcSied

and the applause. when he finished,wa

GREAT OVATION FOR HILL.
The delegates and spectators had lis
tened with attention. but no very great
enthusiasm. to the address, but heart
lily applaudcd the closing sentence.
Senator Hill entered just at this mo-
mcnt. and the applause turned. "fIill.
of New York; "IIill." "Hill' they
shouted. But 1t was noticed that the
New York delegation did not respond
to the enthsuiasm. Hill came in With
Elliott Danforth, of New York, and
stopped ut the row.
Delegate John Mcmahon, of Rome,
arose and gave his seat to the eXSen
ator. Hill smiled and thanked him.
Meanwhile the crowd continued to yell
HILL" Let us hear HILL" with n few
Kisses interspersed until the chairman
finally raped them to order. a few
minutes later they rcnewd the call
but the audience was impatient to get
on with the proceedings. and showed
their disapproval With Kisses. When
finally the chairman was able to make
his voice heard he introduced Governor

of the campaign this gear is the scan
dalous dealings of IL high cabinet OIL
Ger with private banks of the country.
These scandals are notorious, and are
based upon the earnest and repeated
written demands of the officers of some
of these banks that they should be ia
vored by this administration because
of money contributed by them with
which to buy the Presidency of 1896.
Correspondence submitted to Con-

Treasury for financial assistance be-

Under all the circumstances the re-
publieans have nothing whatever to
be ashamed Of in yesterdays re-
suit. All the principal offices in the
county will be filled by republicans,
while John Hahn's majority is far be-
low anticipations, considering the fact
that he ran as a republican and un-
questlonably divided the republican
vote. The election OF Linville and
Thompson is particularly gratifying.
Linvile was antagonized by eombina-
ton especially organized and managed
to defeat him. while Henry Thompson
was opposed by one Of the strongest
and most popular candidates who ever
ran on a party ticket in Clatsop
county. Moody's magnificent majority
with every precinct in the county TO
his credit. shows the strength Of ma
tional republicanism in Clatsop county,
and Harrison Aliens vote is testi-
monial to that gentleman's standing
at home that win do him honor
throughout the state. Lyman's cleo
tion is no credit to the citizens move
ment. His qualifications for the office,
with his physical infrmati9s. counted
too largely in his favor to be overcome
by the record Mr.. Lee has made, as
good as that record undoubtedly is.
Taken altogether, the honors in yes
terday's contest are much more than
even in republican favor. and viii be
so conceded by every fair-minded par
tisan Of the fusion ticket.

According to the representation Of
the West Shore Mills Company, and
as a reason why it demands five-year
contract at an advanced rate over that
heretofore paid for street lights, the
progress in electric light appliances
has rendered its plant in many re-
spects obsolete, and 1t is necessary to
invest a large sum in repairs and inn
provements. This argument, rightly
considered, shows the Importance of
change from private to public owner
ship at this time rather than on some
future occasion. If the people are to
be put under tribute for the erec-
tlon of a modern light plant, it is
folly to give that plant to a private
company. Let the water commission
build the new plant for the people, and
then every cent the people have to
pay over and above the expense Of
operation will be invested in their own
property and tend to reduce the fu-
ture burden of private and public light
ing. If the money proposed to be col
lected from the people, after 1t has
been applied to the interest charges
on the debt incurred by the light COM
pany in purchasing the gas plant, pay
ing its running expenses and providing
living income for its officers and
share holders, goes to reimburse them
for the increased investment necessary
to the Improvement Of the present
