DrYoCEsgIc TERRITORIAL CoNyENIioS'
1t will be noticed that J. z. Jnlsgn, chair
man Of the democratic central committee, has
called 4 convention u meet a; Vancouver
Ssr,en,her 2lst. The issue OF the call II
strictly within the line Of Mr.. JGdson : duty
bu, We doubt whether it will meet with an
enthusiastic response from this section OF the
territory. The democrats on the Sound have
never kept good faith with the democrats nf
the Eastern counties, and hence it cannot b
expected that cur people will take any spe-
oisI interest in call tha. /, intended to piace
in nomination d candidate iIom some one OF
the Western counties Ia the canvass OF
1870 the democrats Of the Sound counties
expressed their perfect willingness to nomi-
nate candiiato from this section bat when
,ionabls candidate. was placed IN the fed,
they numerically slaughtered thim at the
uolls. In 1872 the democratic candidate was
taken from the Sound. and then the very men
who bad turned their backs upon Judge Nix,
rolled up in their strength and gave Judge
McFaddeu e rousiuS msjoriry. Ia 1874 the
candidate WAS taken from this section, and
again the democrats on tho Sound proved
treacherou5 aud almost in body vent over
to the support OF Judge Jacobs, who had no;a'
ing in the wy.ld TO recommend him save and
except that be was resident OF the Puget
Sound country. With these repeated acts OF
,reachery in mind, it is not strange that our
people take but Httlo stock il the delegate
election, and are psrlee,ly willing Lot only
to allow their Sound friends 10 name the can
didate but to take the lead in electinE him.
Feeling this way, it is proper 70 say that 1t a
good man il placed in nomination, the demo-
Gratis Of this section VIII place his name at
the head Of the ticket, rnd give him faith
ful and honest support. In This way they
will set an example that should shame the
Sound democrats

HoyoR To TIE BRAvE.-General
Terry has issued an order thanking
three priyates of the army for their
valor in going out as volunteers
through the Sioux country with de-
spaIches to Crook. 1t is impossible
10 conceive of a deed of greater coar
age. The rule in the English army is
more exclusive than with Us There
no private soldier can ever be men
toned in general orders. The battle
ct Ipkermann was saved to the Eng
li.h by The bravery and military skill
Of a solder. Yet, although this OBJ
scure man protected the honor of Eng
land. his name could not Je enrolled
with EngIaud'< heroes. We are glad
that no such discrimination exists
with US, and We think that Congress
should recognize the services OF the
three humble pTivales who have won
the high praise Of their commanding
general.

friends. There are certain politicians
who never krDw VIA: to ~. an. -. 30 o q
to make up lheir minds in q Larry
when 1t Is time to acf. There is Mr..
Carl SChurz, Who acted with the dem

BOW declares himself for Haves. TEeu
We have General Sigel, who, after act

while, indcrseS Tiden, but takes good
care 10 announce that he does not
know what he viii do hereafter. Il
desire, however, 10 add that | shall
not Ten0unce independent action in
political matters relative 10 our own
State and city" OF course not. The
principles Of guerilla warfare forbid
long enlistmeats. Both General Sigel
and Mr Schurz may be considered
il!ustrlOus examples of those independ
ent politicians who belong to neither
patty, but are continually coquettiGg
with both parties. The result Is that
they are always in minorilies and not
regarded as good allies The democrat
ic press is severe on Mr. Schu5z and
expresses great delight that it has got
rid of him at last, and The republican
papers will soon be eXulIing over the
detection of General SigeI We may
coucede these gentlemen ability and
even sincerity in their erratic course /;
but what are we 10 say Of those IN
dependents" who are even now hesi
tating between the two armies ::
They are just as ridiculous as Mr..
Pickwlck was when he 90: caught
between the two bayonet charges and
did not know which way 10 run.
1t makes but little difference witch
way they run, for they are certain to
90 wrong and be taken home by their
friends after the battle is ended.
