Judge Hoagland, of this city,
will probably have no opposition for
the republican senatorial nomina
tion in this district. The Judge's
ability for the position is recognized
throughout the district and his
candidacy meets the approval of all
republicans. His election will fol
low his nomination.
The state election in Oregon
Tuesday resulted in the republicans
icuring the supreme iudge, one
and perhaps both of the congress
men and control of the legisla
ture. Local conditions have some
what demoralized Oregon republi
cans, else the pluralities would
have been much larger.
By a vote of 220 yeas to 60 nays
the house of representatives on
Tuesday passed the river and har
bor bill over the president's veto.
There was no debate. The motion
"that it do pass' was followed by
another for "the previous question."
Each was sustaiued, and so far as
the house is concerned, the bill now
is a law.
Matt Quay has made out a
table of delegates to the St. Louis
convention on his own hook and
gives McKinley 479 on the first
ballot, irrespective of prospective
additions to his list. When asked
if that would not insure the major's
nomination on the first ballot, he
replied with a relieved smile:
-That is about the size of it."

Kem's objections to the concurrent
resolution directing the secretary
of the interior to issue patents to
the Union Pacific railroad company
to all lands sold to bona-fide settlers,
deprives over five thousand farmers
in his district from getting good
title to their lands. His objection
was purely a matter of spite because
the speaker would not recognize him
to enable him to call up his Port
Sidney bill. Well, the district ba
gins to breathe easier, for the days
of Ketn ae numbered, and it will
never be possible again to get so

The coalition between democrats
and populists which was formed in
Oregon in the hope of carrying the
state against the republicans failed
ot its purpose. The republicans
carried the state and will elect .a
successor to United States senator
Mitchell. Ex-governor Pennoyer
may be mayor of Portland, but his
ambitioji to occupy a chair in the
national senate chamber is not to
be gratified. It must be admitted
that he would feel at home there.
He would find himself in the society
of Tillman and Allen, and be able
to make good the loss of Peffer.

The calls for republican senator
ial and representative conventions
have been issued, June 29th being
designated as the date and Ogalal

vention there will be thirty-five

Banner county 3, Cheyenne 5, Lin
coln 11. McPherson 1, Perkins 3,
Scotts Bluff 3, Deuel 4, Kimball 2,
Keith 3. The delegates in the sen
atorial convention will number
fifty-four, and in addition to the
county apportionment given above
there will be Dawson county with
12 delegates, Grant 2, Hooker 1,
Logan 2. and Thomas 2. The leg
islative convention will convene at
2 p. m. and senatorial at 4 p

Only an American city of 200,000
inhabitants could get up such a
celebration as was seen in Minne
apolis last week. Several thousand
school children pulled through the
streets the first house erected on

settler, with his wife, who lived in
it, rode in a carriage at the head of
the procession. It is only forty-
seven years since the pioneer built
this cabin with his own hands, and
w at the age of 76 he is still a
strong and active man. The his
toric relic was trundled on its wheels
tour miles to its future site in
Minnehaha Park, and the 9000 chil-
dreu who furnished the motive pow- ,
er, in rela's a thousand strong, will .
grow up to remember the occasion ;

ories. The beautiful little fail j
