NcWs: The nOminatiOnof Mr. Brad
shaw by the republican convention Of
Washington Territory on Wednesday
night, viii doubtless prove acccpta-
ble to the republicans of Washing
ton. He Is a lawyer from jefferson
county in good standing. and has
served his county five times in the
Legislature and has been prosecuting
attorney several times.

Colonel Glider has at last got off
for the Arctic. He chose as his start
ing point Winnipeg, place where
no lOve-lOrn woman would be apt to
clap an attachment on him at the
eleventh hour Ii there Is any virtue
in the sledging system Glider is the
man to bring it out. Both he and
Schwatka are enthusiasts in regard
to the feasibility of this method of
reaching the pole, and the result of
his daring expedition will be watched
with much interest
Hon. Charles NJ Bradshaw. the
republican nominee for delegate TO
congress, accompanied by Mr.. Allen
j, Weir Of Port Townsend, the secre-
tary of the territorial convention, and
G. IL. Hanford, assistant L. S. prose-
cutting attorney, passed through Ia
coma this morning en- route to east
ern Washington. Mr.. Bradshaw
goes east of the mountains for the
purpose of opening the fall campaign
IN his own behalf and in the interest
of the republican party.
Commenting on the Sedgwick's
scandal in Mexico, the NeU North
lceSt remarks: If the published re
ports OF Sedgwick's shameful con-
duct while on an official visit to City
of Mexico as representative of this
fgovernment are true, he deserves all
the notoriety and odium he is now
receiving. Neither should the ad-
minIstration escape its full share OF
responsibility for the disgraceful
affair; for the selection of a we'll
known New York ''rounder" and
man about-town for any official duty
was In itself blunder little short OF
a public crime. Probably Cleveland
will learn this if he lives long enough
Every appointment thus far given to
one of ''the boysn-men of the Presi.
dents stamp when he was a private
citizen-has brought the administra,
ton into contempt
Portland News: Mr.. Bradshaw is
a representative of the best element
in the Territory. He is identified
with 1t in number of ways. His
faithful services in five sessions oi
the territorial legislature, as we'll as
his private life and standing, entitle
him in every way to represent his ter
ritory in the larger field of national
Legislation. His whole career, pub
lie and private, is in refreshing con
trast with the fiippant, insincere con
duct of his political opponent The
personal attributes of delegate are
of even more importance than those o:
a voting representative from a state
A territorial delegate is at best but a
beggar for congressional fayors
Having no vote himself, he is in nc
position to reciprocate favors, except
through labors on the outside, chiefly
In committee rooms, or by personal
intercession with the voting members
The fact that Mr.. Voorhees, failed to
accomplish the least thing for the
benefit of his constituents during the
long session of the present congress,
Is pretty strong evidence that some
thing more than pride of ancestry is
required of territorial delegate. A
representative citizen like Hon. c.
NJ. Bradshaw can accomplish far
more than recognized demagogue,
who seeks to deluxe the people by
fair promises, without regard to the
possibility OF their fulfillment.
The annexation Of North Idaho to
the territory is desired by all the
people of Washington Territory.
This territory. through its political
conventions, has plainly indicated
/ that 1t is united in the demand for
an early consummation Of the project
The Lewiston Teller, in an article on
the proposition OF annexation and
the attitude of the people of North
Idaho on the question, said: The
committee of the parties in North
Idaho. who have sent delegates to
the territorial convention in Idaho
have chosen to withhold a future ex-
preston of the desire CT the people
upon the question for reasons best
known to themselves. = We
can hardly think that they believe
there has been any change of senti-
ment upon the question worth MOTTO
ing among the people of the north
since 1884, aud hence, having spoken
once, they rest their cause as it is
with congress. without further i'm
portunity." This is the sentiment
undoubtedly of the residents of the
panhandle of the territory: They
stand as firm as we do Their SYM
pathies are with us, as are also their
business relations. Their wish should
be granted by congress, and when
good representative in the person Of
Bradshaw is sent to the legislative
hall at Washington, the annexation
may be accomplished.
