The cause OF the hitch in the after
noon and evening sessions was the
receipt OF the foilo%iu from Judge
Parker:
Hon. W, +. Shschan, Hotel Jeffer-
son, st. Louis regard the gold stand
ard as firmly and ir~rcvOcably cstab-
lished, and shall act accordingly if the
action of the convention of to-day shall
he ratified by the people. AS the plat
form is silent on the subject, my views
should be made known to the conven-
ton, and, if it is round TO be unsat-
isfactory to the majority, | request you
TO decline the nomination for mi at
once, so that another may be nominal
ed before adjournment.
(Signcd) "A. b. PARKER"
The telegram caused a great deal OF
comment, and threatened, for q time
to undo the work of the convention.
1t was finally decided TO send the fol-
lowing response to the telegram,
though not until considerable opposi-
ton, largely from Mr.. Bryan and his
adhcrents had been swept aside:
THE platform adopted by this con
vention is silent on the question of the
monetary standard bureau it is not re-
garded by us as a possible issue in this
campaign, and only campaign issues
were mentioned in the platform.
Therefore there is nothing in the views
expressed by you in the telegram just
received which would preclude a nan
entertaining them from accepting a
nomination on said PLATFORM"
The vote on sending he proposed re
I ply to Judge Parker was: Ayes, IA;
noes, 1871.

when ! went through the state Of

with our gallant 'standard-beqrcr. the
matchless Bryan, we found Henry G.
Davis. fellow democrats, although lie
had worked his way up through an
honest life to n position of influence
among the people, we found him as
sisting us, his shoulder to the wheel
always. And it is no reflection upon a
man, | take it, in Il democratic conven-
ton, to say that he not only never
scratched a ticket, but he never
dreamed of doing SO"

Milton. Dec. 1S.-Talk about pro-
hibition and prohibition, and making
a dead town, just read what Milton
has done and is doing:
For II years Milton has been with
out a saloon, and during the past
three years she has bought and paid
for her own electric light plant and
city water works. and reduced the tax
on city bonds from eight to six per
cent, without the help of saloons. The
city jail" has been occupied but
twice within the past year; once by
a pickpocket, and once with IS young
bloods, who tried to have things their
own way Halloween night.
Besides this, the citizens have made
nearly 100000 in improvements in
the way of business houses and city
residences, and the prospects bid fair
for several more of each next sum-
mer. At the present time there isn't
an empty house in town of either kind
and several business houses and a
score of residences could be rented
inside of a month.
over 100000 bushels of wheat were
stored in her mills, and nearly $780,
600 worth of fruit was shipped from
the three packing houses this season,
besides the amount that was peddled
and hauled to Walla Walla, which is
estimated at from $4,000 to $40. 900
The fruit season being over she
and her sister town, Freewater. are
raising and shipping rock at the rate
of 35 cents a yard to Walla Walla
or $50 yards a day.
The new electric plant. which will
be in operation by the first of the
year, will cost nearly $4,000, and be,
longs to the city. Besides this, We
find the following new residences anC
their cost; w. H. Gray, $500; Hen,
ry Lloyd, 5000; Emmit Vinson, $500
w. S. Mayberry, $500; Sam Thomas
$1,000; D. ]. Kirk, $3.50: H. NJ. Tin
ker, $500; F. B. Pennock, $500; viii
liam Nichols, $3.50; C. F. Demaris
residence and barn, $4,000; Charles
Walters, $500; F. NJ. Walker, $500
Van Brankin, $500; Edna Williams
$3.50; w. G. Wagner. 800; w. A
McGhee, $3.50; Charles Ludje, 500
]. M. Muir. $3.50; Bert McKnibht barn
$4O0. Besides this, several good i'm
provements in the way of additions
j. B. Frazier, $500 to barn; F. f. viii
cox, $1,000 addition to house; William
Anderson, $500, and Mrs. Black, $25
to houses.
Tassie Stewart has the foundation
for a $4,000 residence, and William
Anderson for $1,000 one to be bull
in the spring.

rifts BurgIaries IN 10 DAYS.

Portland, Dec. 19.-Since Decemb-
er ! about so burglaries have been
reported to the police. The number
of thieves compared with the number
of cases in which nothing whatever
has been accomplished forms a rec
ord which Chief Hunt is not likely
to produce in support of his conten-
ton that his system" is excellent.
Really good work has been done In
several instances, but such poor per.
formances have been by detectives
pursuing their own devices. A grea
deal has been accomplished by pa
trolmen. but the brunt of thief
catching necessarily has fallen on thu
detective branch of the department.
