Democratic NOmina tiOus.

The Democratic County Convention go
Immediately preceded the time of our
regular issue as to allow US short time
ana small space for extended comments
We must say, however, that we never
witnessed party convention less under
the influence Of partisan feeling, and the
result exenplified the honesty and SINGER
ity of the delegates in carrying out the
principles of civil cervice REFORM which
ale SO generally professed and so rarely
practised by politicians, and wins the
hearty commendation of the conservative
citizens of the county. Our Republican
contemporary has the grace t" say: "The
Democratic Convention to>dav was one
of the most harmonious ever held in this
county, without single exception" The
Convention was in every essential partlc-
ular in marked and honorable contrast
with the late Republican Convention.-
There were no delegates packed in the
interest of any candidates. No candi-
dates upon the floor of the Convention
engaged IN unseemly scramble, bargain
ing and log-rolling for nomination. No
secret ballot, winch is device through
Shicn treach-ry and corruption are prac>
ticed without detection. All was fair
and open; no pledges asked or given.-
The invitation to all, irrespective of
party or political associations or differ
ences. who Can unite with us in an effort
for pure. economical government" was
faithfully observed. in spirit and intent.
For tive of the best offices in the county
Treasurer an Shertf-men who have
heretofore been identified with the Re-
publican party were unanimously nomi
nrted, solely on the ground of their emi>
nent fitness for those positions; they have
both accepted and will faithfully work
for the success of the whole ticket
Judging from the expressions and reports
OF both Democrats and Republicans from
all parts of the county. the election of
that ticket IS assured, it being conceded
by all disiaterested parties to be the best
ticket ever offered for the suffrages of the
electors of King county.

as low All estimate upon judicial integrity
as upon popular intelligence, and insults
and Outn ges both. The law is perfectly
clear. The Revised Statutes expressly
fobids "any person belonging to the
army" to holding "any civil Office or
appointment in any Territory" The on
ly reason why Capt. Hill has been per-
mItted 10 hold the office of Treasurer for
nearly six years is because the case was
never before brought before the Court
for adjudication. Secretary McCrary,
now United States Judge, gave the
same construction to the law that Judge
Greene has, but SAID it was a matter for
the Territorial Courts to adjudicate; and
the only hope Capt Hill has tor retaining
the office, if reelected, is by turning the
Supreme Court into a party caucus and
subordinating the lawst" party purposes
No sane man believes be could do any,
thing of the kind with the present bench.
Three times the voters of King county,
by favor to Capt. Hill, have elected him
to the most responsible Office in the coun-
ty, with the chances Of his being ordered
to other duty at any moment, and with
the knowledge that his official bond was
utterly worthless 81 long as he holds the
office in violation of law. This is NOT
personal matter, as Capt. Hill would
make it, but matter of law and public
policy.

"Whom the gods would destroy, they
first make mad" Capt George D. Hill,
who has enjoyed the emolaments of two,
and for time three, lucrative positians.
through public forhearance, tor the past
six years, now clsmorously demands as a
vested right what he has heretofore held
by sufferance, and with a vindictivenrss
and violence unbecoming an officer and
gentleman" denounces and vituperates
all who question the validity of his pre-
tensions, defying the law, repudiating the
Court, and openly boastIng of his power
to control popular support in spite of the
judicial decision against his legal right
to hold the office. the benefits of which
he has SO long enjoyed, and to which he
would have no further claim upon any
reasonable grounds it there was no legal
obstacle to his holding it. Instead of
showing any sense of obligation for fa-
vors received, his deRunciati"ns are di-
rected mainly against th"se who have
heretofore uniformly supported him and
hesitate now under judicial notice that
he cannot hold the office hut in violation
OF law; thus exhibiting the fact that his
only sense of gratitude is for favors exs
pectsd--nOt for favors received.
We believe that Capt. Hill greatly
underestimate the virtue and intelligence
of the people of King county when be
assumes-as he does openly and defiant-
ly-that large majority of the popular
vots will sustain him in violation of law,
as positively declared from the bench by
the Chief Justice OF the Supreme Court
o: the Territory; that his popularity is
SO unbounded that the people are ready
to follow him into rebellion in de ying
the laws and decisions OF the Court
Capt. Hill says he will give bonds and
tuke an appeal to the Supreme Court of
