STORM N SET.

Talk about harmony and then go out
on the street and hear the bowling there
is going on about the primaries Saturday
night. There seems to have been a close
corporation deal, but it is claimed by
some of the candidates for city offices
that there was treatchery on the part of
some OF the conspirators to control the
convention. The popular Republican up
rising threatens to take the serious shape
of certain Candidates and their friends
Of the rank and file rising up and kicking
all along the line. The star ticket seemed
at frgsto have suffered a total eclipse
and the black flag was waving in
triumph. But the star ticket now appears
above the political horizon as a storm
signal. That a cyclone will strike
the convention on Saturday mas
be discerned in the distance by the
experienced weather eye. Cyclone eel
lars will doubtless be more in demand
on that occasion than political lightning
rods, which some of the aspirants are
setting up in hopes of a stray stroke,
now that the combination is practically
broken. In the meantime the Democrats
will look calmly on and contemplate the
certainties Of a victory over the conyen-
ton Of the opposition. which will smash
States and other campaign equipment of
the G. O. P.

made the greatest. effort OF his I:fe on the
Golden club and certain American citi-
zens who belong to the Democratic par
ty. In the discussion that followed it
was shown that 50 ..e Republicans had
been honored with membership in that
organization. The fact about the Cob
den club is that it is an organization for
good fellowship among men of distinc-
tion, and the club found more distin-
Democrats than Republicans. and
it was but natural that the Democrats In

HENRY WILLARD is to take q few days
of recreation at Wiesbaden this week.
He has probably had a cable from the
Portland Board of Trade, telling him that
the Northern Pacific has given Tacoma a
boom with a big B by the practical com
pletion of the Cascade tunnel, and asking
for consolation. The board and Mr..
Willard may find some consolation In
contemplating the respective letters of
taffy that they have each framed and
keep in their Offices as the doctors do
their diplomas. But despite all that they
can do, the great commercial city Of the
North Pacific Coast is destined to be on
Puget Sound, and more likely Seattle
than Tacoma.
