The regularly elected delegates from

vention, and the bogus delegation ruled

The committee on credentials that he WAS
a genuine delegate. He had the aflida-
Wits of several distinguished citizons Of
Pierce county, who. j: is claimed, were
offered brides, but could not be s'corrup-
ted" Mr Dale cleared up the doubtful
points, TO the satisfaction of the commit
tee, in brief speech of an hour and
twenty minutes duration. So convining
was bis evidence and his speech that the
committee according TO his version)
would have reported in favor Of the boz
gus delegates had not John afterward
inagnanimously sent private nots TO the
committee requesting them to report in
favor of the regular delegates. And
this, we understand is the way Mr.. Dale's
accounts for the admission of the right
fal delegation. We don't accuse any one
of bribery but it is evident that friend
Dale was badly "sold" by somebody 10

HAOCOSsS'
Last Sunday morning about O'Clock,
the Iewelry store of Brown IL Harding
of Hudson, was broken into aud con-
siderable amount of property abstracted.
The building was set on fire by the
thieves, but the flames were discovered
and suppressed before they had gained
great Roadway.
AS soon as the burglary was discovered
a search was Instituted which resulted in
the capture of one Of the thieves and
most of the property. Our informant
states that it is supposed four persons
we're interested in the robbery. If cap
tured, the result will probably bs still
more Interesting than they had antici-
pated.
Nearly all of the river towns are now

without any apparent means of support.

against these light fingered gentry, and
