NORTHERN PACIFIC MAaNATEs.-
Vice President Thos. F. Cakes and
MIR. John G. Bullitt, one of the Di-
Iectors of the Northern Pacific
visited Tacoma Monday,
and Tuesday proceeded to Seattle
by special train over the shore-line
road, returning the same evening in

MIR. Cakes announces that the Port
land branch will be ballested and
ready for through trains soon as the
transfer boat is finished, in about
two months, when We will have all.
rail communication with the Oregon
metropolis. He likewise states that
the opening Of the Seattle branch
has been indefinitely postponed.

The STANDARD had intended max
ing some reference to the ratifica-
ton 6zzle, on the receipt Of the news
Of the nomination Of Blaine and Lo-
gan, last week, but the matter was
crowded over in that number of our
paper, and we now find in the Tacoma
L'dger SO graphic q statement OF the
incidents which succeeded the ia
nous i" fourth ballot" from a Repub.
lican standpoint, that we transfer it
to our columns. After noting the
eager expectation which centered
about the bulletin board, as each
successive measure at Chicago was
announced, the correspondent says:
The disappointed Office holders
aud their friends, who to the last
moment chung to Arthur with q for
lorn hope, were depressed at first
and did not conceal their disappoint-
msnt. These, however, soon rallied,
wheeled into line, and were as ready
~ ever to take the lead in any move
msnt which the public impulse might
demand. Accordingly one of these
pensioners Of the public treasury
was soon upon the street soliciting
funds for . grand ratification meet
ing TO be held in the evening, when
impromptu speeches, the music of
the band, and the chorus Of cannon
were TO give expression to the enthu.
siasm Of the hour. The hour ar
rived, but neither the sound of music
or the noise OF cannon gave any
token OF the coming jubilee, and
when diligent search and earnest in
quiry were made for the ratification
meeting, it was found that the band
had retired for their usual weekly
drill, the Y. NJ. r. G. were in secret
session, intent upon the election of
officers Of their club, q matter of
such vital public importance as to
entirely overshadow such q triaing
affair a. the nomination OF q Presi-
dental ticket, while the man with
the funds was ratifying with his
friends in good old Democratic
style ut ono OF the saloons. Some
time during the night our citizens
were aroused from their slumbers
by the sound Of gun out upon the
bridge, which was at first supposed
TO be the signal for Chinese riot,
but was afterwards found to be the
remnants Of the grand Republican
ratification meeting. No report has
yet been made 10 the Finance Com
mittee Of the amount expended for
whisky and powder respectively.
And this 10 the way We ratified at
Olympia.

The newspaper opposition to Mr..
Blaine is something unparalleled in
in the history of Presidential cam
paigns. The list grows longer daily,
and embraces some of the leading
Republican journals, exerting a com.
handing influence in the party and
great weight with the people. The
Tribune is The only paper in New
York which swallows the knight,
PUNE and all. Such papers as the
the New York Times, the Herald,
Harpers' Weekly, Puck, Telegram
and Post, the Brooklyn Union, the
Rochester Post Express and Her.
aid, Syracuse Herald, the Flushing
Times, Boston Advertiser, Trans
cript and Herald, Springfield Re-
publican, Philadelphia Record and
Times, Chicago Times, News and
Inter-O Ocean, and the New Haven
News, are unqualified in their oppo-
sition, while many others of scarcely
less prominence, are lukewarm. If
our Republican friends can see any,
thing hopeful in the political horis-
cope they must possess a liberal en-
dowment of that faith which is said
to move mountains.

A FisHINa CouNrRY.-It seems
that the lakes and streams of West.
ern Washington are becoming fa-
nous % fishing resorts, and this
season IN unusual number Of people
will participate in the rare sport.
A canoe party of four men and
three canoes will leave Portland July
18th. for Gray's Harbor, by way Of
the Newaukum and Chehalis rivers
The party will go to Kalama by
steamer. thence by rail to Newaukum
station, and then L" fish" down to the
Harbor. They then propose to haul
their canoes over to Shoalwater Bay,
and return home by way of Ilwaco.

An Olympia correspondent of the
Tacoma Ne,cs, in deplo,iug the van
dal spirit which seems to animate
those in charge of "city" affairs,
says of the Council: "They are &C.
cused of being as triAing as school
boys, and their frequent delibera-
tons, often lasting into the small
hours of the night, are characterized
a. the scenes of violent speeches in
which spectators and Councilmen
hurl large-sized chunks of flashing
invective at each other. The whole
secret of this feeling seems to be the
result of tho Council meeting too
frequently. It strikes me that the
Olympia Council should meet but
once year, when the first motion
i'll order would be to adjourn until
the next regular meeting"

HENDRICKS STATEMENT.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 11.-Hon.
Thomas A. Hendricks, in an inter-
view concerning TiIden's letter of
declination, said the news did not
surprise him. for when he visited
Tilden in August last, that gentle
man very firmly announced his in.
tention to remain permanently out
of politics. On a succeeding visit
in April last, the same determine
ton was expressed. Hendricks
thought there was little doubt that
the old ticket would have been
nominated at the Chicago Conven-
ton if it had not been for the
declination to-day. He said that
the demand for it among the Dem
ocracy was almost universal, and
greater than any movement of the
kind ever seen in politics. Person
ally he felt no great disappointment,
be did not want the Office of Vice
President eight years ago and did
not want it now. If the old ticket
had remained in the field he should
have considered the election to that
place great honor, conferred by
the people as q rebuke to what they
considered great wrong. It would
have prevented the seating of Hayes
in 1876 from becoming a precedent
for future elections. Hendricks
added that only as an expression Of
the indignation of the people would
he have regarded the election to the
Vice Presidency as an honor to be
sought.
