Now, we ask in the name of common
sense and honesty, can any set of men, af-
ter receiving nomination from meeting
holding the above sentiments, go ngainAS
Gov Stevens and carry out the wishes Of
those who sent them here? The same ar
guments holds good against Purdy, of Sa-
vanish, and Carter, Of Chehals. They
were sent here from counties almost unani-
mously in favor of Stevens; and yet they
refuse to vote for resolutions that would be
due him from democratic legislature, even
though he were q republican.
1t appears then, that if the wishes of the
people of the counties referred to had been
carried out, the vote on the Stevens reso.
luton would have stood 81, against 6.
Had tho Boilers been content with
defeating the county nomination, and have
come into the traces and worked with the
democratic party of the Legislature, it
would not have been so bad; but to first
bolt the regular nominations in their own
counties, and then by secret meetings and
colluson with the republican party,
headed by B. P. Anderson and George
CorIss, to descend to the inexcusable and
uuderhanded means to defeat the regular
nominees of the democratic caucus, is
species of mean, contemplate trickery, that
was not expected, even of Stiles, Biles and
Ca-piles. Was it expected of the Clarke
county boilers that the men who were elec-
ted by them should come here and act,
"hand in glove" with leaders of the repub-
ican party? Was it expected that they
would oppose all measures of retrenchmeut
and reform, because their file lcader-B.
p Anderson-holds an Office that would
bear reducing?
There was q bill presented which con-
templated the reduction of the salary Of
the Prosecuting Attorney, and it was OPP
posed by the fusionists, because of its being
calculated to effect the King Of the hive.
There was then bill introduced which
proposed to elect Prosecuting Attorneys
for each judicial district, and give the three,
One-half the compensation that one receives
now. The fusioniSts defeated it, because
their lile-leader held the Office. Thus did
the "bolters" refuse to create the Office Of
Prosecuting Attorney for the first and
third judicial districts, for the benefit Of
their own lawyers, too, in order that the
central man might continue 10 receive his
5000 per annum. The Thurston county
members voted for an equal right in all
sections Of the country, and equal justice to
all the citiZeus thereof
Mr.. b. p Anderson is certainly very
ailibe young man, but is continually accu-
sing Governor Stevens friends Sith pro-
scripiiou, and says that the Legislature last
winter, and the people last summer, were
forced to vote for him because they could
do no better. All VIC have to say about
Anderson is, that he would have done very
well for 'jack-n-a-piHcb," if he had not
allowed his name used by the "bolters," to
defeat the regular nominations. The vote
in the joint convention showing fusion
with Black Republicanism.
We like Lander SO well that we dislike
even to think Of his unlucky course in re-
gard to the late volunteer service in this
territory With the strong feeling of n
large proportion Of the late volunteer Organi-
zation against the Judge, we cannot think
that he would, in any event, be available,
especially as the opposition have unexcep-
tionable men in their ranks, excepting only
their political feelings and prejudices. l
will very frankly confess that | will do all
l can to defeat his nomination, and believe
that whatever effort may make for the
accomplishment of this end, will be warmly
seconded by the main body Of our late citi-
zen soldiers.
Before closing, allow me to present my
views respecting the most available candi-
date for the next delegateshp
OF the three Judges, we will say nothing
speaking from personal knowledge they
are satisfied with the positions they now
occupy.
In the consideration of this subject we
will mention Lancaster's name first, and
