men have some very enthusiastic ad-
nirers, but it is very probable that
locality will have much to do with
the selection of the candidate, and

influence i'll the Convention. If SO,
we most heartily emphasize the opin-
ion expressed q few days ago 10y the

is the coming man. We have known
him personally for nearly twenty
five years, and can unhesltatingly
affirm that more steadfast, consist
ent or able advocate Of the people $
interests cannot be found in the
whole Territory. He is thorough
| business man, with ample means to
keep him aloof from rings of profess
siona! politicians who are ready to
sacrifice any object for gain, and
he possesses the entire confidence
of those representing the industry
and thrift of the country. He is a
pioneer and one Of the people, plain
and unassuming in address, and one
whom the masses would instinctively
trust. He never has been an office
seeker and would probably decline
the nomination, but that is precisely
the kind of man we want. We can
trust the man whom the Office seeks.
He we feel confident could beat any
ring politician yet named. The peo-
pie are tired of having matters "cut
and dried" to order and would hail
with JOY movement to elect ONE OF
THEIR OWN NUMBER to the highest office
within their gift.

OLYMPIA. WASHINGTON TER.
FRIDAY EVEN'G, AUG. ID, 1885,
The Delegateship.

While the Republicans of tire Ter
ritory are wrangling over the next
nomination for Delegate to Congress,
the Democrats, although the result
many years past shows their chances
with a popular candidate 10 be about
even, remain quiet spectators Of the
strife, determined at the proper time
to make a united and vigorous effort
for the triumph of principles they
have advocated so long and SO per-
sistently without the hope of person
nj reward.
The office-holders' ring has osten-
sibly determined to support Mr..
Brents, but with Mr.. Aliens friends
in the eastern counties and Mr.. Bal
lard's adherents on the lower Sound,
the present indication is that neither
candidate will 60 into convention
with sufficient strength to secuie the
nomination, and the contest may as.
sumo a triangular shape which will
give the victory to some dark
horse" not yet caparisoned, or if in
the harness, with the reins held by
firm hands, to enter or not, as the
chances Of election may seem to war
rant. The Oregoaian appears to te-
lieve that Gov. Ferry is the reserve
nag who is being subjected to thor
ough and efficient grooming for the
prospective race, but that journal has
of late become 80 daft on political
matters that We must swallow this
assertion with some grains Ct salt.
DR.. Minor is likewise suggested as q
possible compromise candidate, and
there are some reasons why it might
be expected that he would carry
considerable strength in the Convon-
ton. But all opinions as to the ul-
innate choice are of course the re-
suit of mere conjecture, and until
the primaries are held and the poll
ticians have had an opportunity to
manipulate the masses, eli predic-
tions are likely to fall wide of the
mark.
The Republicans have been quite
as active in putting up" the Demo-
cratic nomination as their own, and

How 1t Looks Now.
WAsHISGroN, July 2Sth, 1896

Inder an Oruer issued yesterday
by MIR. Hayes, General Hancock
temporarily assumed command OF
Department of the South, il addition
to his duties as commander of the
Department of the East. No special
significance attaches to this, per-
haps, but your correspondent thinks
it adds emphasis to the popular de-
maud for General Hancock S rcsigna-
ton from the army. The candidate
of great party, and, as | think the
next President Of the United States,
should not remain in the position in
which the whites or caprices of II
professedly unfriendly Administra-
ton may at any moment use that
position to mi urc bis standing. Gei.-
eral Hancock should resign when he
accepts the Presidential nomination.
The Erening star, Of this city, Il
sort of backstairs organ of the Adj
ministration, says of the contempla.
ted trip of Mr.. Hayes: Tie fact
that the President intends early in
September to make IL trip to the Pa
citic Coast, has been construed in
some quarters 10 n.t;.n that he pro.
| poses to muii, d. nunlber of campaign
speeches. This is hardly the fact.
While it is true that the President
intends to visit California, and while
it is true he expects that he will be
called upon to address it's citizens, it
is not true that his trip west means
a political movement in anybody's
interest. And this means that Mr..
Hayes will make Garfield speeches
in California. As Garfield fought
the Anti-Chinese bill, demanded by
the whole population of California,
and Mr.. Hayes vetoed it, 1 hardly
sac anything to be gained by this
advocacy.
1t is officially announced that a
demand has been made by New York
Radicals, fer the removal of Collec-
tor Merritt, and that Secretary Sher-
man refuses to consider the demand.
He says he has not, however, talked
with Mr.. Hayes about the matter.
1t is said here that General Garfield
desires the change, and that Mr..
Hayes is inclined to override his
Secretay of the Treasury.
Only Secretary Sherman of the
Cabinet, was in town yesterday.
The remaining members was away,
and very many of their subordinates
also.
More extensive arrangements are
being made than even before, fol
what are known as "election leaves, ~
this fall. The first exodus of this
kind will be TO Maine in September.
Every Maine man in the Depart.
ments will be given q leave of from
ten to twenty days, without loss Of
pay and be furnished with half.
price ticket to that State. These
leaves being in addition to the regu.
lar annual absence of thirty days
they amount to q clear swindle oil
the people who pay taxes. This
Administration wished, or pretended
to wish, to break up this practice
but. as stated above, is deeper il
the mud than any previous one.
