PROXIES.

Hon. Edward Mcpherson, Secretary
of the National Republican Committee.
in a recent interview discussing the
question of proxy representation in the
National Convention, said: ANY man
not elected by the people of his district
as a delegate ought to be ashamed to
ask the National Convention to confer
upon him an honor that the people of
his district refused TO give him The
position taken by the National Conven-
ton Ii exactly right, aud the principle
upon which it is based and the practice
predicated thereon should be extended
10 every convention Of the party. A
delegate 10 presumed to be a representa-
tive selected by constituency TO pre-
sent their views and urge their demands.
No man elected to do this has right to
transfer his authority to one not 50 Sc
lectsd, aad thus place the interests OF
his constituents In the hands of one
wko cannot be held responsible for NO.
lation of his trust. No man should be
allowed seat ia a convention who has
not been chosen thereto by the votes of
constituency among whom he Resides
aud of whom he is part. 1t Is viola
ton of trust to give proxy to man
not 50 chosen, it is an impudent as
sumption to receive and demand ad-
mission to convention on such creden-
tials, and il Ia contrary 10 the princi-
plies of representation which underiie
party organizations for convention to
admit a person claiming a seat upon
| that kind of vouchers.

MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.

Our readers, together with the whole
reading public in the United States. of
all classes, parties and conditions, are in
fever of interest, waiting for ballot
ing TO begin at Chicago. This fever
will intensity until a final decision In
reached, when long breath of relief
will be drawn by an overstrained and
deeply interested multitude. II is a
great battle which is being fought
within the Republican party at Chica-
GO. Ii Ia contest of giants and giant
forces. To secure the endorsement of
the Republican party, to be promised
its suffrages for the highest office in the
world--for so indeed II isis prize
worthy the honest etfert of any human
being. Not alone in this true because of
the moral certainty which exists, that
the nominee of that party will ie sue
eessfri; that his selection will be ratified
by the electors OF this Republic. and
that he will become it's Chief Magis.
trate. Ii in an homer, magnificent
tribute to American citizenship and its
possibilities, and TO the man selected a
crown of glory, to be chosen from among
the multitude of illustrious citizens
whose names adorn the Republican
party, as It's standard bearer, its leader
in another contest aud to victory. IL is
a dizzy eminence, sought to be reached
by many. attained by but few. He who
shall receive the nomination of the Re.
publican party at Chicago. will be ten
dered an honor second only in this
country TO that which the people will. in
the election following. accord him.
We must control our impotence.
Great bodies move slowly. and these Is
much TO do. 1t is not little matter to
organize a vast body of men united on
one main subject-to wit, Republican
success-but varying widely as to the
methods best to be adopted. Already
the present convention has eclipsed its
two last predecessors in rapidlty of or.
ganizatiou. IL was called together ON
Tuesday, the Sd, and the next day saw
it permanently organized. Four years
ago it took three days TO accomplish the
same result. The Convention met June
2. 1880, and Mr.. Hosr was not elected
permanent Chairman until June 9Th.
In 1876, atCincinnati, three days elapsed
before ballotin9 began. while At Chica-
10. in 1880. the first ballot vas no, taken
until Tuesday, June sth, although. as
has been said. the Convention met June
I'd, and the contest was not decided
until the following day. June 9Th. IL
will no, be surprising. therefore, IL the
decisive ballot in the present Conven-
ton does not occur before Saturday.
Meanwhile We must all possess our souls
with patience.

A CHANGE WANTEp.--The mail boats
running to Whatcom should run on a
schedule more convenient to the public.
They have had no set system for several
months past, bat have run at such honfs
as suited them, changing from time TO
time in their endeavor To make Al ar
rangement more satisfactory to them
selves. They have been going out in
the night, usually mt II or 3 o'clock.
These boats are not adapted to night
service on a route possessed of 40 much
travel as that TO Whstcom. Their sleep
ing accommodations are inadequate,
and an all night run upon them must to
majority of passengers be al occasion
of discomfort and torture. Neither il

mail taken by them has lain in the Sc
attic postotiice in no case less than one

unnecessarily, awaiting them. We will
illustrate. The mail for Stanwood. Fir,
