Willard has had the eyes of the
civilized world focused on his
precious self at frequent intervals
for the past two OF three years. Lat
terly, however, he has been -'cussed'
in different way, by the very sore
capitalists who somehow blame him
for their losses in railroad stocks.
First of all, he attained notoriety and
gained public confidence by his able
management of o. T. andO. r. & n.
stock, and by consolidation of their
interests. Next, he engineered tie
famons "blind pool" scooped in
controlling interest in the n 2. R.R.
and vaulted at once to the leadership
and management of that great com
pany, as its president. Then, by a
series ofbrilliant moves he completed
the great transcontinental road with
such rapiditY that it was the talk OF
two continents, the crowning act, ii
mammoth excursion, attracting more
attention than all else. Cold, keen
critics, however, ,analyzed the situation
carefully about this time, and proph
esied that far more difficult task
lay ahead of Mr. Willard than any
thing already accomplished, viz: the
successful management of the road
and placing it on paying basis, A
suspicion arose in the minds of stock.
holders that the management of their
affairs had become needlessly extray-
agant Mr.. Willard had somehow in
spired unlimited confidence in the
minds of great millionaires, and they
had entrusted him with their capital.
His reputation as inancier, and the
confidence he had inspired constitut-
ed for him large reserve force; but
he was drawing too heavily upon
that reserve, and his picnic could not
be continued always. Then came
the crash in stocks, resulting largely,
it Is true, from an effort by Gould
and others to break him down-but
caused largely, nevertheless, by this
very failure to manage the complet-
ed road in an economical manner.
Rerenchment followed, and the
heads of useless employees fell into
the waste basket by wholesale; but
still the slaughter in stocks kept up.
amounting to almost 4 panic Now
comes the culmination-the newt

control of the o. T. and o. r. & n.
companies, and his foreshadowed res
ignation of the n P R. r. presiden-
cy makes the vanishing of the great
railroad meteor as conspicuous as was
his advent and fiery career. Mr..
Billings, who Will probably be recall
ed to the management of the n PR.

Willard has been. The latter will
probably retire from railroading,
however, with his own pockets lined

i BOARD OF TRADE.-What Port
Townsend most needs at present
seems to be a Board of Trade or
Chamber of Commerce; it matters
little what name is chosen, SO that
the body is devoted to fostering the
commercial interests of the town and
surrounding country The time has
arrived when the war for commercial
supremacy on Puget Sound is a sari-
Gus one. In the fierce though blood
less conflict opening, the weaker must
eventually go TO the wall, unless su-
perior prowess is used. OF course we
do not wish to be understood az say
ing that some one town will finally
become THE city, to the annihilation
of the ethers-or that any one of the
future cities on the shores of our
magnificent inland sea Will eventually
oyershadow all the others, as noces-
sary consequence. That would be
contrary to the sober Judgment of any
thoughtful person of intelligence, who
knows of the vastness of our manifold
resources and the extent and adyant-
ages of our shore line, indented as it
is with so many bays, harbors and
fertile river bottoms. But there IS a
growing confict-a rivalry that be-
comes more keen and spirited each
succeeding year. In this contest each
town aspiring to position OF import
ance must look to passing opportua-
tiles to build itself up Port Town
send is in just that condition today.

purpose. Randolph county did the same, and
the deadlock was still unbroken. Delaware
county throughout stood nobly by Mr.. Mellette
casting for him almost every time
her eighteen ballots Henry county,
finally cast her nineteen votes for J. w. Macy,
of Randolph county. To this Randolph added
her twenty one, and, with a shout the result of

Mr. Macy declared the nominee of the conven-
