\ CALL.

Daniel Bagley, Chairman of the Re-
publican Territorial Central Committee,
has issued a call which, unless i is
modified somewhat, will not be needed
by Republicans in this part Of the Ter
ritory. The call appoints three con-
ventions to nominate candidates for
delegates to the Constitutional Con-
vention; one of these conventions is
to be held in the first Judicial District
at Walla Walla, one in the second
District at Olympia, and one in the
third District at Seattle. The con-
ventions at Walla Walla and Seattle
do not concern us of the second Dis
trict, it is the Olympia convention we
object to. a convention at Olympia
would accommodate Thurston and
Mason counties seventeen delegates in
the two counties, but is altogether out
of the way for the counties of Yakima,
klickitat, Skamania, Clarke, Cowlitz,
Wahkiakum and Pacific; forty one del
egates altogether. Delegates from
Chehalis and Lewis counties can 90 to
Kalama as easily and cheaply as they
can go to Olympia; they have eleven
votes between them in the convention,
which added TO the forty-one of the
river counties, makes total of fifty
two delegates who are asked to come
all the way to Olympia to accommodate
the seventeen delegates of Thurston
and Mason counties. The delegates
from Yakima county are counted in
this estimate because that county is
Joint with Clarke in the Council district,
and would therefore have to send dele
gates to the convention in the second
Judicial District to make the Council
district nomination. A more one
sided arrangement could hardly have
been devised than this call of the Cen
trail Committee Why did they not
call this convention to meet at San
Francisco The expense of the trip to
majority of the delegates would have
been less than going to Olympia, and
the time consumed but little longer.
The river counties compose the bulk of
the second Judicial District, and any
arrangement by the Committee which
so palpably ignores them, cannot fail
to receive their emphatic condemnation
Let the convention be held at Van
couyer or kalama This county and
the counties east of here would no
doubt be willing to meet Pacific and
Thurston at Kalama But they will
not consent to the arrangement pro-
posed by the Committee. Come to
kalama, you Olympia folks, and We
will meet you, otherwise we shall have
a convention of our own at Kalama,
and see who can muster the largest
force ". BYRON DANIELS,

DIRTY WORK.

Louisiana, more particularly New
Orleans, is never happy unless en-
gagged in trouble or making trouble
for some one else; never was gov
erned but once, when old Ben Butler
was chief in command in that pesti-
lential locality; and will probably
remain ungovernable through all
time. The latest phase is the arrest
and indictment of the returning board
members, who gave the electoral vote
to Hayes, and also the threatened in
dictments of Republican statesmen
who went there while the returning
board was in session to help still the
troubled waters. The ultra disturbers
in New Orleans, who once allowed
Hayes title to be good on the same
returns that ousted Packard, have
bitterly repented of their quiet assent
to that programme, and are now
charging that it was all brought
about by corrupt bargain between
President Hayes, the returning board,
and some of the Democrats in the
South. And although the electoral
commission would not go behind the
returns. these New Orleans malcon-
tents, seconded by host of never
satisfied politicians of both parties in
the North and South, say they will
now go behind the returns. prove
this bargain and sale charged, and
GUST every man put in Office by it.
President Hayes does not seem to be
much disturbed By this tempest in the
New Orleans teapot, but it makes
much trouble for those persons who
are within reach of the New Orleans
courts, and certain persons in the
North, mostly appointees and friends
of the President, whose future politi-
cal career might but cut off prema-
turely by disclosures in the courts OF
such things as are charged. 1t al
ways takes two to make bargain.
and the proof is yet forthcoming that
either President Hayes or any of his
friends have made any bargain that
secured him the Presidency over
Tilden. If his friends have done such
thing for him, it is quite as inexcus-
able as though it was his own work.
Some friend has been particular
enough to send out a dispatch say
ing that the President would put out
of office all men found concerned in
any bargain and sale, as charged.
And should the charges be proved,
and these men put out, would it make
Hayes title good one? In such
case all should be punished alike.
But we do not apprehend that any
such trouble will come up. Like
nearly all New Orleans disturbances
it will finally turn out a dirty sqab-
BILE between the -ins" and the 'outs,"
who never can get up a contest in
that locality without covering the
whole nation with their dirt and slime,
creating only dissension and bitterness
both North and South. without reap
ing any corresponding benefits.

destroyed, and many vessels lost.
The steamer Metropolis, enroute for
South America, with railroad labor
ers and supplies, went ashore near
Currituck, where the U. S. war
steamer Huron was wrecked few
weeks ago, and became a total loss,
about 100 persons perishing in the
waves. About 100 persons on board
were saved. Dispatches report dam
age and disaster in all parts of the
Atlantic coast, and at Coney Island
there was great destruction of prop
erty; eight lives lost. There was a
scene of great calamity at Manhattan
beach to property on the east side of
the island, where the storm struck
with the greatest violence, fairly
sweeping everything before it.
