make an ideal minister 70 England
He would not yield one jot OF MS
Americanism. and he would be more
popular among the English people and
more respected by them than any rep
res.ntatiye whom our government has
sent TO st. James in recent years.
To Depew more than TO any other
Republican leader, the nomination OF

SHALL IT BE HELD

SEATTLE, Dec. IL.
To THE EDITOR The people oil
ElIensburgh are invariably hospitable
and no one ought TO be surprised that
they, in keeping with their past
record, should ask delegates from the
several counties of the territory to ac-
cept their courtesies at an admission
convention TO be held in their fair city
early in January. The question OF adj
mission is certainly one Of those
uppermost in the minds Of all our
citizens and If that long-looked for
event can be fastened by territorial
convention. il is quite certain that
people generally viii approve OF the
holding of the same, and it is ex-
tremely probable that no better place
for it can be found than the city of
Ellensburgh.
is as TO whether the results to be OBJ
tanned from the sitiings OF the con-
vention will be commensurate with
the labor, trouble, time and money
expended in holding them II con-
gress at its present session has not
decided by the middle OF January to
admit Dakota and Washington, there
is no likelihood Of enabling acts being
passed later in the session, however
strong and in whatever form recent
petitions from the territories may be.
The only influence OF the convention,
then. would be 10 impress upon Mr..
Harrison the necessity OF calling an
extra session Of congress. As 10 the
wisdom OF this action he is probably
as well advised as any other man in
the country. No person realizes more
clearly than he the injustice OF keeping
disfrsnchised 10000 people along
our Northwestern frontier.
In the forty-seventh congress Mr..
Harrison had charge Of the Dakota
admission bill in the senate, and his
views on the rights OF territorial citi-
zens were so fairly and forcibly ex-
pressed that there can be no hesitation
In saying that he will do what is right,
even il prayers, petitions and carefully
worded resolutions are not forthcom-
ing. II he believed three years ago
that the admission of Dakota was a
matter of the greatest urgency, of how
much more importance in his mind
must that issue be at the present day
without doubt he has already given
the question OF an extra session no in
considerable thought and attention,
and 1t is doubtful il the proceedings of
any territorial conventions would move
him one way or the other. He il alive
to the demands OF the times, is con-
versant with the situation of affairs in
the territories, and can safely be
counted upon 10 do everything posi-
bic and expedient towards giving us
statehood.
For these reasons many may ques-
ton the wisdom Of holding a conven-
ton for the purpose OF advancing the
cause OF admission. United action is,
OF course, invariably more pro nounced
in results than scattered and spas
modic efforts; still under the circum
stances a vast amount OF work maybe
done by individuals which will be
quite as effective as anything that
conld be accomplished by a territorial
convention sitting at time when the
second session of congress is so far adj
vanced and so near the Inauguration
OF president who is SO fully advised
OF the necessities OF the people of the
territories. w. c. Il.

OUR STRENGTH IN CONGRESS

II the Filtieth congress should see
ft 10 admit Washington a. Il state
during this session the people would
be able TO hold their constitutional
convention. frame their constitution
and elect two senators and a represen-
tative 10 the Fifty-frst congress which
meets in December of 1883. Our pres
ent population would entitle us 10 one
member of congress, but fortunately
our admission will oscur just before
the taking Of the eleventh census. in
which enumeration il will probably
be found that Washington is
entitled TO two representatives
in the lower house. The house
Is now composed Of 325 mem
bers and there il no likelihood Of this
number being Increased. The appor-
tionment at present is one representa-
hive 20 every iS3 600 inhabitants. This
apportionment was based on a total
population in tho United States OF
about fifty millions. Our population
in 1870 viii certainly amount 10 II not
exceed sixty millions, by which est
mate representative in congress viii
he allowed 10 every 10000 inhabi-
tants Washington Territory to-day
contains at least M, 600 people, and bv
the time he census is taken in $500.
will probably have $4,000 people,
Judging by he present rate of immi-
grafton. this Is a low estimate, so IL j.
only reasonable to hope that by tho
new appor,ionment Washington will
he Represented az the national capital
by two senator's and two members oi
the house OF representatives.

II is said that Senator Chandler of
New Hampshire viii have a serious
time securing a reelection. He is OPP
posed by DR.. Jacob II. Gallinger, Of
Concord, who is said 10 have secured
q majority OF the Republican members
Of the legislature. These reports do
not worry Chandler much, however.
He Is never happier than when in the
midst Of hard political fight. He Sc
cured hls seat in the senate against
strong opposition, and if he cannot
hold II against the same opposition, he
will know the reason why.
