Uregon Democracy Is Split.

Portland, Special: Several democrats who favor the financial policy of President Cleveland held a meeting In this city for the purpose of discussing the advisability of putting in the field an independent candidate for congress in the second district against the regular nominee of the democratic convention, which declared for free coinage. It was practically decided to name an Independent candidate. Both the regular democratic and republican candidates in the Second district art in favor of free coinage, and the Cleveland democrats expect to draw largely from the republicans who favor the gold standard.
