Republican Convention Rebuffs Free Silver Forces in Portland
The Young Men's State Republican Club met at the Park Theater in Portland and after delays adjourned at 8:30 p.m. The convention rejected free coinage, voting two to one against free-silver delegates to the Cleveland league, and affirmed sound money. Over 1000 delegates and proxies attended, making it the Northwest’s largest gathering. The gold standard side achieved its aims as the session wrapped after discussing financial questions. Debates were limited and the event drew strong interest despite few speeches.

Wheat Markets Rally Across Chicago and New York
The wheat market surged this week with Chicago prices leaping beyond 75 cents and July futures briefly touching 76.9 cents after gains driven by Liverpool advances and crop damage worries. New York July peaked near 80 cents amid steady local grain transfers and firm cash bids. The report also notes an anniversary celebration for Pendleton’s Church of the Redeemer, a theft in Gold Hill linked to a large 6600 dollar windfall hid in a bin, a cure showcase by the National Surgical Institute touring in the region, and the Supreme Court voiding the federal income tax as unconstitutional, with Justice opinions split on the ruling.
