LOCAL FIGHTS IN STATE POLITICS.

LOCAL FIGHTS IN STATE POLITICS,
Our own county Convention was so
quiet and devoid of a spirit of contcu-
ton that we could almost likcn it to an
ordinary meeting for religious purposes
on tho Sabbath, but on looking at the
the state papers we find that such was
not the case in other counties. In
Windsor, Franklin, Addison, and Rut-
land counties there was a bitter strife
over some or all Of the county officers
and in two Of them the partizan spirit
ran so high as to almost make the
convention mob, which should come
under the provisions Of the riot act.
Some OF these bitter local conten.
tcutions were organized by the attempt
of the grange or reform movement, so
called, to carry the day in opposition
to railroad monopoly and other bug
bears used to frighton hornoy handed
tillers of the soil with. Some of these
attempts were successful and some
were failures. In Addison county the
chief contest was in regard to States
Attorney, aud the temperance issue
was brought to the front and the con
vention broke up without making
any nomination for that Office and left
the people free to vote for whom they
choose, which is about as WE'LL perhaps.
In Franklin county the bone of con.
teution was State Senator, the candi.
dates from st. Adams, which has
always claimed one Of the senators,
being Park Davis and Albert Clark, Of
the Messenger. In the caucus at st.
Adams to elect delegates to the county
convention a very large vote was pol
led OF which the Davis delegates had
dattcriug majority, but Clark issued
a Messenger extra. ia which he claimed
the grosscst frauds in the caucus,
which was freely circulated in the CON
vcution, and though the statements
therein were vigorously protested
against Clark was nominated by a good
majority. The result will probably be
bolt Though we think editors should
| il worthy. sometimes receive an Office,
yet the course taken by Clark. except
under the very strongest provocation,
was entirely out Of place, Park Davis
/ is emiuently qualified for the position
and q man not likely to be influenced
! by rings or corporations and the people
Of Franklin county can do a great deal
worse than to make him Senator.
| The general result viii be that the
senate and probably both branches oi
the Legislature viii be composed almost
entirely Of ucw meu, and half the SEES
sion will be occupied ia getting used
10 the harness and ready 10 work

Wilmington Correspondence.

w lLMlN MUM, JUL. Ot 1914.
EDITOR HERALD: The harbor ques-
ton has been quite thoroughly dis
cussed, and yet there may be room
for a word or two more. There is no
difference of opinion as to the neces-
sity of bringing ship and rail together,
but the people are divided in opinion,
as to the quickest and most economical
mode of doing it. The engineers are
confident that the dredging of n cham
mel through the bar is entirely practi.
cable, and as it is work which they
have been commissioned to do, it is
their intention to perform it, as soon
as the rough weather is over. The
building of the breakwater was merely
preparatory to this, and unless it is
done, all the money and time spent on
the breakwater go for nothing. The
dredging of the channel is affirmed to
be not only practicable, but necessary.
If the railroad were extended to San
Pedro, and wharf built out to deep
water, ships would have no harbor,
but only an open roadstead, exposed,
as they now are, to all the storms and
swells of the ocean. In very rough
weather they could not lay alongside
the pier and discharge their cargoes but
would be subject to veXatious de-
lays. Inside the bar is deep and spa
cious harbor, where ships may float in
safety, and discharge their cargoes at
any time; for the water is always calm
and free from ocean swells Now,
after ships have crossed the bar, and
entered the harbor, it is evidently the
part of wisdom for them to appIoach
as near to Wilmington as possible.
How near they can approach is the
question. The captain of the Mohongo
has often stated that if allowed to do
so, he could, even now, cross the bar
at high tide, and place his ship along
side the wharf at Wilmington. 1t is
admitted that the water at the present
wharf is too shallow for large vessels,
and sometimes at low tide, the ground
is almost bare. Much misapprehen-
sion has arisen from this fact. Only
few hundred feet down the channel, at
point opposite the quartermaster's
buildings, the water is seven feet deep
at low tide, depth sufficient for YES
sells of a tonnage large enough to do all
the carrying trade between San Fran
cisco and Wilmington. The Whining
ton'wharf could easily be extended to
the point mentioned, and if it is not
done, private parties will construct a
wharf from the quartermaster's build
ings to point in the channel opposite.
They are now nearly ready to COM
mence the work and will be certain to
have it completed by the time the
channel is dredged through the bar.
There will be no failure. Capitalists
have taken the work in hand, and be-
fore many months roll away, opposi-
ton steamers will discharge their car
goes on the new wharf in Wilmington.
The figures about the depth of water
in the channel and on the bar, which
gave in a former letter, were OBJ
tained from the pilot who has navi-
gated the channel for many years, and
who has perfect faith that the channel,
though crooked in some places, can
yet be navigated by vessels of 1000
tons, to the point mentioned, when
the bar shall have been dredged. G.
