Oregon Democrats

Ban Francisco, April 7.—Tho Oregon Democratic Convention adopted resolutions demading legislative regulation of railroads, tariff reform* attributing the assassination of Gar field to the Republican-spoils system, denouncing polygamy, favoring the repeal of navigation laws and demanding that the Congressional delegation do their utmost to secure an appropriation for the Oregon River and harbor improvements. The resolution oa the Chinese question was passed as follows: That the President’s veto of the Chinese immigration bill is a public misfortune. It sets the degrading mark ol competition with cnolies from China upon the labor and workingmen of America; It treats with contemptuo is derision the unanim ous protest and appeals of the entire' Pacific Coast. On behalf ot the people of Oregon we disapprove, condemn and declare it to be the duty of every citizen, regardless of party, to express his disaoproval with his vote as well as with his voice. The ticket was completed as follows: Secretary of the State, J. N. Wethersford: Treasurer, H. Abraham; Superintendent of Instruction, W. H. Worthington; State Printer, Wilber Cornell; Supreme Judge, Eden Shattuck.
